In the figure, a control circuit 50 is composed of a microcomputer, and controls a CPU (central processing unit) 501 for controlling the whole; a ROM 502 for storing programs for motor control, display processing and resetting, shelving, hiccup processing, and the like; RAM 503 for storing data such as the calculation results in, and an input interface 504 and an output interface 505,
These are connected to the CPU 501 via the bus 506. The IC card 47 that stores hiccup pattern data
CP via connector 52, interface 53 and bus 506
It is connected to U501 and is detachable from connector 52.

The input interface 504 includes an encoder 35, an auto switch 39, a manual switch 40, a reset switch
42, a shelf switch 43 and a start switch 44 are respectively connected. Also, the output interface 505 has
The digital display unit 41, the indicators 45 and 46, and the motor drive circuit 54 are connected to each other. The DC motor 9 is connected to the motor drive circuit 54.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described in the fifth.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

When catching fish that live in water depths of 100m or more,
A connector 55 is attached to the electric reel attached to a fishing rod (not shown).
And the power cord 56 is connected to a DC power source such as a battery disposed on the ship with a crocodile clip or the like. When power is connected to the electric reel body,
The control circuit 50 is initialized (step in FIG. 5).
S1).

After that, select the IC card 47 that stores the hiccup pattern data that matches the invitation of the target fish, and insert it into the storage
Insert into 38. As a result, the hiccup pattern data stored in the memory section of the IC card 47 is read out and RA
It is stored in a predetermined area of M503 (step S2).

Next, the clutch lever of the electric reel body (not shown)
To release the clutch 20 and make the spool 4 free. Then, the device suspended from the rod tip is lowered by the weight of the weight, and at the same time, the fishing line 5 wound on the spool 4 starts to be sequentially fed from the spool 4.

When the spool 4 rotates due to the feeding of the fishing line 5, the roller 26 pressed against the outer periphery of the winding of the fishing line rotates, so that the rotation of the roller 26 is controlled by the gear train 32, the rotating shaft 31, and the gear train 33.
The rotation is transmitted to the rotating plate 34 through the rotating shaft 34 to rotate the rotating plate 34 forward. The rotation of the rotating plate 34 is converted into a pulse corresponding to the feeding length of the fishing line 5 by the encoder 35, and the input interface
It is taken into the CPU 501 through 504, and the step S3
In, the up-count is performed, and the calculated yarn length is calculated.
Then, the calculation result is output to the display unit 41 via the output interface 505 every 1 m, and displayed on the display unit 41.

When the fishing line 5 is sequentially unwound due to the settling of the device, a line length corresponding to the unwound amount is displayed on the display unit 41, and the water depth previously measured by the fish signal detector while watching this display content, that is, Lower to shelf. For example, when the content of the display 41 becomes 150 m, the clutch lever 20 is operated by turning the clutch lever to the on side, the pinion gear 18 and the gear carry 11 are connected, and the drag force of the drag device 17 acts on the spool 4. To do it. Thus, the rotation of the spool 4 is stopped, and the feeding of the fishing line 5 is also stopped.

In this state, when the shelf switch 43 is operated, the switch signal is transmitted through the input interface 504 to the CPU.
The data is taken into 501 and the calculation data of "150" is
It is stored in M503 (step S4). Thereafter, the start switch 44 is pushed to start the hiccup operation.

First, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the start switch 44 has been turned on. If it is determined that the start switch 44 has been turned on, the process proceeds to step S6, and a hiccup operation is performed according to the hiccup pattern data loaded from the IC card 47 into the RAM 503. . For example, assuming that the hiccup pattern repeats the operation of raising the device one meter at a predetermined time interval (for example, one second) a predetermined number of times, first, step S6
, A winding drive command for a line length of 1 m is output from the control circuit 50 to the motor drive circuit 54, whereby the DC motor 9 is started in the line winding direction, and the spool 4 is rotated to wind the fishing line 5 by 1 m. . The yarn winding amount at this time is fed back to the control circuit 50 via the encoder 35. When the fishing line 5 is wound by 1 m, the process proceeds to step S7, and the DC motor 9 is stopped for one second. This is counted by a timer configured in software in the control circuit 50. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S8, and it is determined whether or not the 1-m winding-down 1 second stop pattern has reached a predetermined number of times. At this time, the count is counted by the control circuit.
This is done by a counter configured in software within 50.

If the determination result in step S8 above is "NO", step
The process returns to S6, and if "YES", the process proceeds to step S9. In step S9, when the auto switch 39 is turned on, the ON signal is taken into the control circuit 50,
A command for the line winding direction is output to the motor drive circuit 54 to start the DC motor 9, and the spool 4 is rotated in the line winding direction so that the fishing line 5 is continuously wound on the spool 4. At this time, the display content of the display unit 41 is counted down. Then, when the length of the yarn from the rod tip becomes about 1 m, the DC motor 9 automatically stops, that is, a so-called boat-slip stop is performed (step S10).

Hereinafter, by performing the operation of step S3 and subsequent,
The hiccup operation can be repeatedly performed based on the hiccup pattern data stored in the IC card 47.

In the above-described embodiment, when a fish is set in the middle of the hiccup operation, the auto switch 39 is turned on to continuously wind the fishing line 5 around the spool 4. In this case, the hiccup operation is automatically canceled.

In addition, the hiccup operation can be performed manually by turning on / off the manual switch 40 regardless of the data of the IC card 47.

Therefore, in the present embodiment as described above, the setting of the hiccup pattern for the various target fishes can be performed simply by exchanging the IC card 47, so that the conventional keyboard operation is not required, and the hiccup on the boat is required. The selection operation is simplified, and a hiccup pattern for various target fishes can be easily and accurately set, so that even a beginner or the like can improve the fishing results.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing another embodiment of the hiccup operation according to the present invention.

At the time of the hiccup of this embodiment, first, step S2
At 0, the DC motor 9 is started in the line winding direction to wind up the fishing line 5 by 3 m. Then, in step S21, the DC motor 9 is started in the line feeding direction to feed out the fishing line 5 by 2 m. Next, the process proceeds to step S22, in which the DC motor 9 is stopped for one second, and then in the next step S23, the above-described steps S20 to S2 are performed.
It is determined whether the number 2 of the hiccup patterns has reached a predetermined number. If the predetermined number has not been reached, the process returns to step S20,
Step 20 and subsequent steps are executed. When it is determined that the predetermined number of times has been reached, the auto switch is turned on as in FIG.
Turn on 39 and wind up fishing line 5 continuously to the boat's side.

Also in the case of this embodiment, when it is confirmed that a fish hits the device during the hiccup, the auto switch 39 is turned on to wind up the fishing line to the side of the boat.

Note that the IC card 47 in the present invention is not limited to the hiccup pattern shown in the above embodiment, and a large number of IC cards storing hiccup pattern data optimal for inviting fish according to the fish type, season, etc. are prepared. Of course.

When such a large number of IC cards 47 are stored in the reel body 1 and used for replacement at appropriate times, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 60 and cap the front opening of this
The cap 61 is configured to be able to be closed, and the cap 61 is screwed via a packing 62.

By doing so, the IC card 47 can be always carried on the electric reel, and the IC card 47 can be prevented from being forgotten or lost.

The storage means of the hiccup pattern data in the present invention is not limited to the IC card, but may be a disk or another storage medium. Furthermore, the DC motor is not limited to the spool built-in type.

Further, the line length measuring means may use a method of measuring by spool rotation or other means other than the method of measuring by pressing a roller against the outer peripheral surface of the fishing line.
