Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel, and more specifically, automatically performs operations from an operation of lowering a tackle to a shelf position to a winding operation by detecting a fish signal. The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel.

(Conventional technology and its problems) When performing a fishing operation with a conventional electric fishing reel for this type of fishing (both bearing reel), it is necessary for the angler to take the time from the feeding of the fishing line (device) to the catching of the fish on the device. It is common to do this, but recently these operations
Various types have been developed which automatically perform the operation by combining a microcomputer with various sensors.

As an example, there is Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-15847, which detects the feeding length of the fishing line, stores the distance to the shelf where the fish can be caught, and automatically stops the feeding of the fishing line at an arbitrary length. It has a function to make it work.

Therefore, whether or not a fish has caught on the device is determined by the angler who looks at the tip of the fishing rod or by a sensory signal such as a fish signal (hit) transmitted to the hand holding the fishing rod, and drives the motor to drive the fishing line. It is something to roll up. For this reason, it is not possible to reliably take in the fish that has been hooked, and the fish that has been hooked have escaped.

In addition, the above configuration only reaches the predetermined shelf position and stops the feeding of the fishing line, and the subsequent lure movement required for fishing is that the angler moves the fishing rod, moves the rod tip up and down to move the tackle, It is common to invite eating.
Therefore, depending on the up and down operation of the fishing rod, the device lowered to the angled shelf position may be displaced from the shelf position, which greatly affects the fishing.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the object thereof is to lower a device to a shelf position, invite, and detect fish signals. Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric fishing reel capable of automatically winding a device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, an electric fishing reel according to the present invention comprises a fishing line length for measuring a payout length and a winding length of a fishing line wound on a spool. Measuring means, setting input means for turning off the spool power transmission path by clutch switching means, feeding out the fishing line by free rotation of the spool, and setting the feeding length, and inputting the length of the set fishing line to the fishing line length A stop means for stopping free rotation of the spool by a signal detected by the measuring means; a fish signal judging means by detecting a drawing length of the fishing line or a rotation number of the spool in a direction in which the fishing line is drawn; Control means for controlling the rotation, power transmission and stop time of the spool by comparing the detected value with the detected value.

The above-mentioned fishing line length measuring means is a length measuring mechanism comprising a length measuring roller provided with a magnet rotated in contact with the outermost side of the fishing line wound on the spool, and a roller holding case provided with a Hall IC, or It is composed of a spool rotation speed detection mechanism consisting of a magnet attached to the side surface of the spool and a Hall IC attached to the side frame.

The fishing line payout length setting input means includes a side length mechanism and a CP.
It consists of a keyboard etc. connected to U.

The stop means operates the stop gear, which is attached to the gear train of the rotation transmission path by the rotation of the motor or the handle by frictional engagement so as to be integrally rotated, the stop claw which is disengaged from the stop gear, and the stop claw. The solenoid is controlled by a signal output from the CPU in response to a signal from the length measuring mechanism.

The fish signal judging means sets the length of the fishing line withdrawal or the number of rotations of the spool in the direction in which the fishing line is drawn in the CPU in advance, and makes the judgment in accordance with the length measurement by the fishing line length measuring means.

(Operation) According to the above means, the length measuring roller is operated, the spool is freely rotated in the reverse direction to feed out the fishing line, and when the desired shelf position (the feeding length is read from the display unit) is reached, the shelf set switch is turned on. Stop the rotation of the push spool,
The feeding of the fishing line is stopped, and the predetermined shelf position (the feeding length of the fishing line) is stored in the memory of the microcomputer. Therefore, from the next time, if the fishing line is paid out, the fishing line is stopped at the previously set shelf position, the fish is hooked on the device lowered to the shelf position, the fishing line is pulled along with the escape of the fish, and the preset fishing line drawing length. Or, when it is determined that the fish signal is detected by detecting the number of rotations of the spool in the fishing line withdrawing direction, the clutch OFF state is automatically switched to the clutch ON, a motor drive signal is output from the CPU, and the motor rotates. Rotate the spool forward to wind up the fishing line and pull up the fish on the device.

Also, when the invitation switch is pressed in the state where the spool has been lowered to the predetermined shelf position, the motor is turned on and the spool rotates forward, and the spool reaches the preset winding length or the spool rotation speed in the winding direction. Then, the motor is turned off and the winding of the fishing line is stopped, and the state is maintained for a preset time. When the stop time has elapsed, the motor is turned on again by the output signal from the CPU to rotate the spool, Wind up the fishing line.

The above operation is performed a preset number of times to invite a fish.
