It has been expanded to allow for a wide range of responses, and the operability of winding the fishing line has been improved.

[0005]

However, since the electric reel for fishing controls the motor output of the spool motor, even if the motor output is kept constant by operating the adjusting lever, the influence of waves and tidal currents may occur. Alternatively, if a load is applied to the fishing line due to fish pulling, the winding speed of the fishing line changes and the winding speed cannot be maintained at a constant value, and the function of the adjustment lever that enables fine adjustment of the motor output is sufficiently practical. However, there was a problem that it could not be demonstrated to the public.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and is an improvement on the above-mentioned electric fishing reel of the prior application, in which even if a load is applied to a fishing line by pulling a fish or the like, an adjustment lever is used to adjust the fishing line. An object of the present invention is to provide an electric fishing reel that can maintain a selected delicate fishing line winding speed.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a spool rotatably supported on a reel body, a spool motor for driving the spool, and a displacement An electric fishing reel comprising: a motor output adjuster operably mounted; and a control device for increasing or decreasing the motor output of the spool motor in multiple stages in accordance with a displacement operation of the motor output adjuster. The main body is provided with a hoisting speed measuring means for measuring the hoisting speed of the fishing line, a speed set switch, and a storage means for storing the hoisting speed of the fishing line measured by the hoisting speed measuring device when the speed set switch is turned on. The above-mentioned control device, under the ON state of the speed set switch, measures the actual value of the hoisting speed measured by the hoisting speed measuring means and the stored value stored by the storing means. Comparing the actual measurement value, characterized in that the constant speed controlling winding speed of the fishing line by increasing or decreasing the motor output so that the stored value.

In the electric fishing reel according to the present invention, the constant speed control of the control device is released by a displacement operation of the motor output adjuster during the constant speed control. In the fishing electric reel according to the third aspect, the constant speed control of the control device is released by turning off the speed set switch during the constant speed control.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a release switch is provided on the reel body, and the constant speed control of the control device is released by operating the release switch during the constant speed control.

[0010]

According to the electric fishing reel of the first aspect, if the output of the spool motor is controlled while operating the motor output adjuster in accordance with the winding condition, the fishing line is driven at a speed corresponding to the output. It is wound up, and the winding speed is measured by the winding speed measuring means.

Then, when the angler turns on the speed set switch during the winding of the fishing line, the winding speed at the time of the ON operation is stored in the storage means. Then, the control device compares the measured value of the winding speed of the fishing line, which changes every moment, with the stored value stored in the storage means, and increases or decreases the motor output of the spool motor so that the measured value always matches the stored value. Then, the winding speed of the fishing line is controlled at a constant speed.

In the electric fishing reel according to the second aspect, the constant speed control of the control device is released by the displacement operation of the motor output adjuster during the constant speed control. In the electric reel, the constant speed control of the control device is released by turning off the speed set switch at the time of the constant speed control, and in the electric reel for fishing according to claim 4, the constant speed of the control device is released by operating the release switch. The control is released.

The duty ratio of the drive power supply to the spool motor 7 is variably controlled as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the displacement amount of
The motor output of the spool motor 7 is continuously controlled from an off state to a maximum value (0 to 100%).

The digital display 61 provided on the operation panel 47 is provided with a motor output display 63 for displaying the motor output by operating the adjustment lever 57. The scale of the display amount is sequentially changed from “0” to “100”.

The spool motor 7 is turned on / off by operating an ON / OFF switch 65 installed on the operation panel 47 after a power cord is connected to the reel body 1 via a connector. If the adjustment lever 57 is not returned to the state of "0" once in consideration of the characteristics, the spool motor 7 will not be driven again. Also, a plurality of solar cells 67 are installed on the operation panel 47, and the liquid crystal display of the digital display unit 61 is performed by the energy of the solar cells 67, and the control device 51 is driven.

The control device 51 and the encoder 73
Also functions as a hoisting speed measuring means for measuring the hoisting speed of the fishing line. That is, as described above, the control device 51 calculates the winding amount of the fishing line based on the number of rotations of the spool 9 input from the encoder 73, but the control device 51 has a built-in timer to control the winding amount per unit time. The actual measured value of the winding speed of the fishing line is always calculated from the picking amount.

On the other hand, a speed set switch 7 is provided on the upper surface of the thumb rest 75 provided between the side frames 3 and 5 behind the spool 9.
When the speed set switch 77 is turned on during winding of the fishing line, the winding speed of the fishing line calculated and measured by the controller 51 at the time of the operation is shown in FIG.
Is stored in the storage means 79 shown in FIG.

As described above, when a load is applied to the fishing line due to a tidal current, fish pulling, or the like, the winding speed of the fishing line decreases, and depending on other conditions, the winding speed of the fishing line increases. Changes from moment to moment.

Therefore, when the speed set switch 77 is turned on during the winding of the fishing line, the control device 51
The actual measured value of the winding speed of the fishing line, which is calculated and measured, is compared with the stored value stored in the storage means 79 so that the measured value becomes the stored value (that is, for example, the stored value is 1.2 m / sec. If the actual value of the hoisting speed calculated and measured by the controller 51 is 1.0 m / sec., The spool motor is controlled so that the hoisting speed becomes the stored value of 1.2 m / sec.) 7, a command is sent to the spool motor drive circuit 81 to increase the motor output and control the winding speed of the fishing line at a constant speed.

When the user operates the spool 5, the spool motor 7 always stops.

Since the electric fishing reel according to the present embodiment is constructed as described above, if the clutch is switched off by operating the clutch switch 49, the spool 7 is in a free state. The fishing line is spool 7
The rotation of the spool 7 is converted by the encoder 73 into a pulse corresponding to the fishing line payout length, and input to the control device 51 for calculation. Then, the feed line length based on the calculation result is displayed on the digital display section 61, and the angler can operate the clutch switch 49 at a predetermined water depth to switch the clutch ON while watching the display.

In this state, wait for the fish to hit. When the fish hits, the angler 83 checks the motor output display section 63 and, if he wants to slowly wind up the fishing line, as shown in FIG.
When the fish is strong and the harness is strong, the adjusting lever 57 is operated so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes "80". If the output of the spool motor 7 is controlled while operating the adjusting lever 57 accordingly, the fishing line will be wound at a speed corresponding to the output.

On the other hand, when the fishing line is wound, the control device 5
The actual value of the winding speed of the fishing line is calculated and measured at 1, and the fisher 83 wants to maintain a certain constant winding speed selected by operating the adjustment lever 57. When 77 is turned ON, the ON
The hoisting speed during the operation is stored in the storage means 79.

9. Compare the stored value with the stored value and send a command to the spool motor drive circuit 81 to increase or decrease the motor output so that the measured value always matches the stored value, thereby controlling the winding speed of the fishing line at a constant speed. Becomes Then, when the adjusting lever 57 is operated again during the constant speed control, the constant speed control of the control device 51 is released, and the spool motor 7 is controlled by the motor output corresponding to the operating position of the adjusting lever 57 to wind up the fishing line,

As described above, in the conventional electric reel for fishing, even if the motor output is kept constant by operating the adjusting lever,
When a load is applied to the fishing line due to the influence of waves or tidal currents or the fish is pulled, the winding speed of the fishing line changes and the winding speed cannot be maintained at a constant value, and the adjustment lever function enables fine adjustment of the motor output. However, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to control the winding speed of the fishing line at a constant speed by turning on the speed set switch 77.
Thus, the function of No. 7 can be sufficiently exhibited in practical use, and the fishing result is further improved as compared with the related art.

According to this embodiment, when the adjusting lever 57 is newly displaced during the constant speed control by the speed set switch 77, the constant speed control is released and the spool motor 7 is released.
Is re-driven in accordance with the operation, so that the spool motor can be driven under a new winding condition according to the situation, and the practicality of the electric fishing reel is improved. In this embodiment, the practicality of the conventional electric reel for fishing can be further improved by combining it with a boat-slip automatic stop mechanism or the like.

Although the speed set switch 77 is provided on the upper surface of the thumb rest 75 in the above embodiment, it may be mounted on the operation panel 47 or on the adjustment lever 57 itself as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Further, the solar cell 67 may be formed separately from the reel body 1 so as to be electrically connectable to the reel body 1, or may be used indirectly while storing electricity in a capacitor or the like.

Further, in the above embodiment, the constant speed control by the control device 51 is released by operating the adjustment lever 57. However, as described in claim 3, the constant speed control is performed by turning off the speed set switch 77. The speed control may be released or, as described in claim 4, a separate release switch may be provided on the reel body 1 so that the constant speed control may be released by operating the release switch. As in the above embodiment, the intended purpose can be achieved.

In addition, the structure of the winding speed measuring means for measuring the winding speed of the fishing line is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the number of rotations of the rotating body interlocked with the spool 9 is detected, or It is also possible to measure the hoisting speed based on the number of rotations of the roller where the roller is pressed against the winding surface of the fishing line to be wound, or to provide a marking portion on the fishing line and magnetically detect this, etc. May be used.
