In the figure, D: the diameter of the fishing line at the specified winding diameter level D ₀ : the bottom diameter of the spool 2 H: the groove depth of the spool 2 up to the specified winding diameter level D _n : the feeding and winding of the fishing line Outer diameter N of the winding line N: Total number of rotations of the spool 2 when the fishing line 3 is wound up to the specified winding diameter level H on the spool 2 N _a : When the fishing line 3 is rotated by feeding or winding It is the actual speed.

Here, the spool 2 is rotated N _a, the winding yarn diameter Along with this is to have changed to D _m from D, feeding yarn length L at this time
Is However, a is a constant related to H and b is a constant related to D.

In the yarn length calculation formula, D, H is a constant predetermined by the spool-shaped, N is a constant determined by the yarn type, N _a is the variable which varies with the rotation of the spool 2.

Thus, may be stored to the above equation (1) to the ROM 15, if you run the equation (1), it can be measured feeding yarn length or winding yarn length corresponding to the rotational speed N _a of the spool 2.

Next, the yarn length measuring operation will be described according to the processing procedure shown in FIG.

When the program shown in FIG. 5 starts, first, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the fishing line 3 has been fed. Here, when it is determined that the fishing line 3 is being paid out, the spool 2 is rotated in the forward direction along with the drawing of the fishing line 3, so that a signal in the forward direction from the sensor 29 is passed through the input interface 19. It is taken in by the CPU 13, and thereby, the up / down counter 31 is set in the up direction, and the pulse signal output from the sensor 29 with the rotation of the spool 2 for each rotation of the spool is input interface.
It is taken into the up / down counter 31 through 19 and sequentially counted up (step S2).

In the next step S3, the count content N _a of the up / down counter 17 is calculated by the CPU 1 in each calculation cycle of the microcomputer 11.
The yarn length calculation of the above formula (1) is carried out by taking in to 3, and the calculation result is output to the display unit 6 through the output interface 21 and the decoder 33, and the payout line length L of the fishing line 3 is digitally displayed on the display unit 35. (Step S4).

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1 that the fishing line 3 has been wound up, the spool 2 is rotated in the reverse rotation direction in association with the winding of the fishing line 3, and therefore a reverse rotation direction signal is input from the sensor 29. It is taken in by the CPU 13 through the interface 19, whereby the up / down counter 31 is set in the down direction, and the pulse signal output from the sensor 29 as the spool 2 rotates is taken in by the up / down counter 31. It is subtracted from the contents counted at the time of feeding by the down count operation (step S
Five). Yarn Then, in the next step S6, the count content N _a of the up / down counter 31 at every operation cycle of the microcomputer 11 takes in the CPU 13, (1) winding yarn length by executing the equation, i.e. unwound The yarn length L obtained by subtracting the take-up yarn length from the length is calculated, and this is output to the display 6 to digitally display the yarn length L on the display unit 35 (step S
7).

Here, a case where the position of the device is displayed in analog will be specifically described.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, the fishing line 3 is paid out, and the spool 2 is braked so as to stop when the tackle is set on a predetermined shelf. If this shelf position is 100m, the 7th
As shown in the figure, “100” is displayed on the display unit 35. Here, when the set switch 9 is pressed to be turned on, the water surface lighting unit 43 and the set point lighting unit 45 are turned on, the lighting units 47 _{P1 to} 47 _P10 are turned on, the lighting unit 47 _P11 is blinked, and a bar is displayed. . In this state, the distance between the bars is 10
0m / 10 = 10m.

From this state, as shown in FIG. 8, when the fishing line 3 is wound up and the display unit 35 displays “85.0”, the water surface lighting unit 43
And the set point lighting unit 45 lights up, the lighting unit 47 _{P1 to} 47
_P8 and 47 _P11 are lit, the lit part 47 _P9 is blinking, and a bar is displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the fishing line 3 is wound up and the display on the display unit 35 becomes “0.0”, the water surface lighting unit 43 and the set point lighting unit 45 are turned on, and the lighting unit 47 _P11 is turned on. , Lighting part 47 _P1 blinks and a bar is displayed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, when the fishing line 3 is fed out and the display of the display unit 35 becomes “110”, the water surface lighting unit 43 and the set point lighting unit 45 are lit, and the lighting units 47 _{P1 to} 47 _P11. Lights up, the lighting part 47 _P12 blinks, and a bar is displayed.

Here, when the set switch 9 is pressed again, with the water surface lighting unit 43 and the set point lighting unit 45 lit, the lighting unit 47 _P1
~ 47 _P10 lights, the lighting part 47 _P11 blinks, and a bar is displayed. In this condition, the distance between bars is 110m / 10 = 11m.
Is.

In the fishing reel configured as described above, the straight type spool 2 has been described.
In the taper spool in which the winding width l of the
Since the winding width of the bottom diameter D ₀ shown in the figure and the winding width of the specified winding diameter D are different, if these winding diameter widths are set as constants other than D and H, the thread length in the taper spool will also be high. Can be measured with accuracy.

Further, each constant of the yarn length measuring formula changes according to the shape of the spool 2, and therefore constants corresponding to various spools 2 are stored in the ROM 15 in advance, and the reel unit 1
The spool data in the ROM 15 may be selectively set according to the spool 2 incorporated in the.

Therefore, constants determined according to the shape of the spool 2 are set, and these constants and the total number of revolutions of the spool 2 when the fishing line 3 is wound up to a specified level of the spool 2 and the time of reeling / winding The yarn length L is calculated by executing the yarn length calculation formula based on the actual number of revolutions of the spool 2 at the time of take-up.
Since it is possible to measure the feeding length or the winding length of the fishing line 3 regardless of the thickness of the fishing line 3, the input data can be wound up to the specified winding diameter of the spool 2. It is only necessary to input the total number of rotations of the spool 2 at the time, and the data input operation is also possible by one-touch operation of the switch 8. Therefore, the data input operation becomes simple and the type of the fishing line 3 is limited. Instead, it can be applied to all types of thread, and can be applied to a wide range of fishing conditions, and is highly practical.

Then, in the fishing reel configured as described above, the fishing line 3 is reeled out to set the tackle at a predetermined depth, and in this state, the set switch 9 is turned on. The display point, that is, the position of the device when the set switch 9 is turned ON serves as a reference for analog display, and the relative position of the device to this position is analog-displayed on the analog display unit 41, and the position of the device is displayed in analog. Thus, the relative position of the device based on the fixed position can be grasped at a glance.

As a result, it is possible to quickly and easily determine the status of the amount of fishing line 3 or the amount of fishing line 3.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above
This will be described with reference to the drawings and FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 16, a rod 103 equipped with the fishing reel of the present embodiment is set on a ship 101 that has gone offshore, and a fishing line 57 having a tackle (not shown) connected thereto is fed out from the rod tip. .
At this time, the distance from the tip of the rod to the water surface 105 is 3.5 m.

That is, when the reel length is disengaged and the spool 53 is released while the line length measurement display unit 81 is set to the operation mode, the fishing line 57 is sequentially fed out from the spool 53 by the weight of the weight attached to the tackle, It begins to descend from the beginning. As a result, when the spool 53 rotates, the rotating roller 63 that is in pressure contact with the outer peripheral surface of the wound yarn rotates, so that the rotation is transmitted to the yarn length measuring gear 73 through the gear train 65-the shaft 67-the gear train 71. The line length measuring gear 73 is transmitted to the fishing line 57.
It is rotated in proportion to the feeding amount of. Then, every time the yarn length measuring gear 73 makes one rotation, the magnet 75 causes the reed switch.
Since it crosses 77a and 77b, signals are sent from these reed switches 77a and 77b. Decision circuit 91 that received this output signal
Then, by recognizing that the signal is input first from the reed switch 77a, the up-count command is issued by the first counting circuit.
It gives to each counter 87a, 87b of 86, these counters 87a, 87b
Start counting up.

Therefore, when the output signals of the reed switches 77a and 77b are applied to the counting pulse generating circuit 85, the pulses generated from this circuit 85 are output to the first and second counting circuits 86 and 89 and are counted, The content counted by the 10 cm up / down counter 87a of the first counting circuit 86 is the decoder.
It is output to the bar display unit 83a through the drive circuit 88a and is driven to display in units of 10 cm. Further, the count content of the 1 m up / down counter 87b is output to the digital display section 83b through the decoder / drive circuit 88b, and the display is performed in units of 1 m.

On the other hand, the second counting circuit 89 sequentially counts up the pulses from the counting pulse generating circuit 85 and outputs the counted contents to the display 84 through the decoder / drive circuit 90 for display.

Here, when the fishing line 57 reaches the water surface 105 from the tip of the rod as shown in FIG. 16, the display state of each of the indicators 83, 84 becomes as shown in FIG. 15 (a). When the fishing line 57 reaches the water surface 105, the reset button 92 is operated to reset the contents of the first counting circuit 86. The display state of each display device 83, 84 at this time is shown in FIG. 15 (b).

Then, the tackle is lowered until the fishing line 57 reaches the water bottom 107 shown in FIG. When the tackle reaches the water bottom 107, the feeding of the fishing line 57 is stopped, so that the counting operation is also stopped. At this time, assuming that the water depth to the water bottom 107 is 125.3 m, the display contents of the respective display devices 83 and 84 are as shown in FIG. 15 (c).

When the fishing line 57 reaches the water bottom 107, when shelving from the water bottom 107 for tie fishing or squid fishing,
First, the reset button 93 is operated to reset the contents of the second counting circuit 89. The displays on the display units 83a and 83b and the display 84 at this time are as shown in FIG. 15 (d). here,
Assuming that the shelf position is 10 m from the water bottom 107, the handle 55 is operated to rotate the spool 53 in the winding direction. When the spool 53 rotates, the rotation is changed from the rotation roller 63 to the gear train.
Since it is transmitted to the yarn length measuring gear 73 via 65 and 71, the reed switches 77a and 77b are rotated as the yarn length measuring gear 73 rotates.
Is turned on and off, and its output signal is supplied to the counting pulse generation circuit 85 and the determination circuit 91. At this time, the thread length measuring gear 73
Rotates in the opposite direction to the above case, the decision circuit 91 receives a signal from the reed switch 77b first, and as a result, the decision circuit 91 issues a down-count command to the first counting circuit.
It will be given to the counters 87a and 87b of 86.

Therefore, each of the counters 87a and 87b of the first counting circuit 86 down-counts by the pulse from the counting pulse generating circuit 85. As a result, when the fishing line 57 reaches the shelf position of 10 m from the water bottom 107, the display content of the display unit 84 and the display units 83a and 83b.
The display content of is as shown in FIG. 15 (e). That is, the display 84 displays the water depth from the water bottom 107, and the display 83 displays the water depth from the water surface 105.
