Further, as will be described later, instead of the numeric key c of the fishing reel shown in FIG. 20, the adjusting lever 91 is used to set the shelf stop value and the spool 7 in the shelf stop value setting mode and the timer setting mode. Functions as a setting switch (automatic operation condition setting body) for inputting a timer set value of the automatic winding start time of the camera, and the shelf position and the set value of the timer are displayed on the digital display section 89 at the time of setting. I have.

The control device 65 is mounted in a watertight housing 99 integrally formed with the reel side frames 3 and 5, and is incorporated in the reel body 1. As shown in FIG. 7, on the input side of the control device 65, the reed switches 61, 63, 75 and the clutch ON / OFF switch 5 described above are provided.
7, a shelf stop value setting mode switch (hereinafter referred to as a "shelf setting") disposed on the operation panel 55 for setting a shelf stop value and an automatic winding start time of the spool 7 as described later, including the encoder 87 and the potentiometer 93. Mode Switch "
101), a timer setting mode switch 103,
A timer start switch (hereinafter referred to as “start switch”) 105, a reset switch 106, and the like are connected,
Also, a sensor 10 of a specified thread amount detecting device 107 described later.
9, 110 are connected.

On the other hand, on the output side of the control device 65, the above-described digital display unit 89 and the alarm 94, as well as each motor 1
7, 45 drive circuits 111, 113 and timer 1
15 etc. are connected.

Further, the control unit 65 has a storage unit 117.
Is connected. Then, the storage unit 117 automatically stops the spool motor 17 when the fishing line 9 reaches a predetermined feeding position (for example, 2 m) from the rod tip in consideration of the protection of the rod tip accompanying the automatic winding of the fishing line 9. Although the ship-slip stop position is stored in advance, the storage unit 117 further stores a shelf position to be set and input by the angler by operating the adjustment lever 91 and a timer set value of the automatic winding start time of the spool 7. I can do it.

That is, when the angler sets and inputs the position of the shelf, as shown in FIG.
When the push operation is performed for two seconds, the digital display unit 89 switches to the shelf setting mode, the initial value of “10 meters” is displayed on the digital display unit 89, the character “Shelve stop” flashes, and the control device 65 displays the shelf. The setting mode is indicated.

When the adjusting lever 91 is rotated forward in this state as shown in FIG. 9, the set value gradually counts up (10, 11,..., 20,...). Is returned to the front, the set value gradually counts down (..., 29,..., 20,..., 10), and the desired shelf stop position (5 in this embodiment) is set.
0m) again at the shelf setting mode switch 10
When the user pushes the button 1, the set value is stored in the storage unit 117 as a shelf stop position, and the set value “50 meters” flashes as shown in FIG. Switches to the thread length display mode.

The fishing reel according to this embodiment is similar to the fishing reel shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the areas of the motor output 0% and the motor output 100% of the adjustment lever 91 are further shifted from the points E and G by 5
° (H and I areas indicated by oblique lines in the figure).
When setting the timer setting for the automatic winding start time of
It is a fast-forward area for counting up / counting down. The interval between the EFs is a digitally adjustable range of 15 steps. For example, when the shelf set value is set to “323 meters”, the adjustment lever 91 is operated in the I region to set the numerical value to “330”. By fast-forwarding, and then returning the adjustment lever 91 by seven steps in the digital range,
The value of “323 meters” can be set quickly.

Similarly, when the adjusting lever 91 is operated in the H region, the adjusting lever 91 is quickly and rapidly fed to the minus side and counts down. Also, when inputting these set values, similarly, when the adjusting lever 91 passes through the points E and G, the electronic sound is emitted from the alarm 94 a predetermined number of times. The electronic sound can confirm that the adjustment lever 91 has entered the fast-forward area (H area, I area).

After the shelf position is stored in the storage section 117, the clutch ON / OFF switch 57 is pushed to turn off the clutch and the fishing line 9 is fed out as shown in FIG. The amount is measured by the yarn length measurement by the encoder 87 and is displayed on the digital display unit 89. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, when the feed amount of the fishing line 9 reaches the feed line length (50 meters) set in the storage unit 117, the clutch motor 45 is operated by a command from the control device 65, and the clutch is operated as shown in FIG. The plate 35 moves in the direction of arrow B, the clutch is switched from the OFF state to the ON state, and the reed switch 61 is turned on by the magnet 59.
, The clutch motor 45 is stopped by a command from the control device 65 that has input the signal.

Then, in this state, wait for the fish to hit, and if there is a hit, rotate the adjusting lever 91,
The adjusting lever 91 is used to slowly wind the fishing line 9.
The spool motor 17 is slightly rotated, and if the fish is strong and the harness is strong, the adjusting lever 91 is rotated a little.
Is controlled, the fishing line 9 is wound at a motor speed optimal for winding. Then, when the winding is stopped, the adjustment lever 91 may be returned to the position where the motor output is 0% (point E in FIG. 5).

Further, as described above, this embodiment employs the fishing line 9
When the fishing line 9 reaches a predetermined feeding position (2 meters) for the protection of the rod tip accompanying the automatic winding of the fishing line, the spool motor 17 is automatically stopped to temporarily stop the winding of the fishing line 9. Since it is stored in the storage unit 117 in advance, when the feeding amount reaches 2 meters, the spool motor 17 automatically stops once in response to a command from the control device 65.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the power cord 97 is connected to the reel body 1 and the spool motor 17 and the control device 65 are started, the adjustment lever is considered in consideration of safety. 91 once at the position of 0% motor output (in the figure,
If the spool motor 17 does not return to the point E), the spool motor 17 is not driven. However, in this embodiment, when the boat has stopped as described above, the adjusting lever 91 is once returned to the position of the motor output of 0%, and then again. If you do not operate the adjustment lever 91,
The spool motor 17 is not driven. When the display on the digital display 89 becomes "0.0 meters" due to the winding of the fishing line 9, the spool motor 17
Automatically stops.

When the display on the digital display unit 89 stops at "0.0 m" in consideration of safety measures at the time of restarting the winding, the present embodiment employs a reset switch on the operation panel 55. If the user presses 106 or draws out the fishing line 9 and the display on the digital display 89 does not exceed "0.1 m", the spool motor 17 is not driven again even if the adjusting lever 91 is operated.

Similarly, when the angler sets the automatic winding start time of the spool 7 using the adjustment lever 91,
First, as shown in FIG.
03 can be pushed for 2 seconds. Then, the digital display unit 89 is switched to the timer setting mode, and the character “minute” blinks on the digital display unit 89, indicating that the control device 65 is in the timer setting mode.

When the adjustment lever 91 is rotated forward in this state as shown in FIG. 13, the set value gradually counts up (01, 02, 03,...), And
When you return to the front, the set value gradually counts down (30,
29, 28,...). When the desired timer setting time (five minutes in this embodiment) has been set, if the timer setting mode switch 103 is pushed again, the set value is stored. The digital display unit 89 is stored in the unit 117 and switches to the thread length display mode as shown in FIG. FIG. 14 shows a case where the shelf stop position is 50 meters and the timer is set.

After the automatic winding start time is stored in the storage section 117, when the start switch 105 is pushed as shown in FIG. 15, the timer 115 is operated and the digital display section 89 is displayed. After "05" blinks for a few seconds, the timer 115 connected to the control device 65 starts counting the elapse of the set time, and when the set time of 5 minutes elapses, the spool motor is controlled based on the signal from the timer 115. A drive command is sent to a spool motor driving circuit 111 of 17 to drive the spool motor 17 to automatically wind the fishing line 9.

By inputting the automatic winding start time after the input of the above-mentioned shelf position, the desired fishing line 9 is paid out, and the timer 115 is automatically operated in conjunction with the stop of the shelf position. May be combined as described above.

The fishing reel according to the present embodiment has, in addition to the above-described various functions, a specified thread spool for detecting that the fishing line 9 has been wound to a specified winding diameter level as shown in FIG. The amount detecting device 107 is detachably mounted on the upper part of the reel body 1.

The specified yarn winding amount detecting device 107 is the same as that shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 17, a roller mounting member 119 having a substantially L-shaped cross section, a roller (a specified thread amount detector) 121 rotatably mounted on one side of the roller mounting member 119, A magnet 123 embedded in the outer periphery of the roller 121, a sensor 110 disposed in the reel body 1 corresponding to the magnet 123, and a magnet 125 embedded in the tip of the roller mounting member 119
And a sensor 109 disposed in the reel body 1 corresponding to the magnet 125, and a rubber non-slip member 127 wound around the outer periphery of the roller 121. 1 is removably attached to the upper surface of the device 1 with an attachment screw 129.

By mounting the roller mounting member 119 on the upper surface of the reel body 1 in this manner, the sensor 10
9 detects the magnet 125 magnetically and controls the controller 65.
Is automatically set to the input mode, and when the winding amount of the fishing line 9 around the spool 7 reaches the specified winding diameter level as shown in FIG. 6, the roller 121 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface 9a of the fishing line 9 with the fishing line diameter. To rotate in the direction of the arrow. When the roller 121 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface 9a of the bobbin diameter and makes several rotations in the direction of the arrow, the sensor 110 which detects the rotation is output to the controller 65, and the spool motor 1
7 is stopped.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 131 denotes a well-known level wind mechanism, 133 denotes a traverse cam shaft, 135 denotes a window hole of the fishing line 9, and FIG. 18 is a front view of the reel body 1. Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, in order to perform fishing without setting the shelf position and the automatic winding time, the power cord 97 is connected to the reel body 1 via the connector 96 as shown in FIG. And once the adjustment lever 91 is
%, And when the clutch ON / OFF switch 57 is pushed while the clutch is ON, the state shown in FIG.

Then, the reed switch 61 is turned on by the magnet 59, and the clutch motor 45 is stopped by a command from the control device 65 that has input the signal.

In this state, wait for the fish to hit. Then, when a fish hits, if the output of the spool motor 17 is controlled while operating the adjusting lever 91 in accordance with the state of winding, the fishing line 9 is wound at a motor speed optimum for winding, and the winding is performed. When stopping, the adjustment lever 91 may be returned.

When the feeding amount of the fishing line 9 is wound up to 2 meters, the spool motor 17 is automatically stopped by a command from the control device 65.
After returning 1 to the position of the motor output of 0%, the spool motor 17 is driven by operating the adjusting lever 91 again, and the fishing line 9 may be wound up.

If fishing is continued further, clutch O
The clutch may be turned off by pushing the N / OFF switch 57, the fishing line 9 may be paid out, and the same procedure may be repeated. However, when the display on the digital display 89 is "0.0 m" and the spool motor 17 Is stopped, the reset lever 106 on the operation panel 55 is pressed as described above, or the fishing line 9 is pulled out, and unless the display on the digital display 89 is set to "0.1 m" or more, the adjustment lever 91 is operated. However, the spool motor 17 does not restart.

On the other hand, in order to set a shelf position, which is one of the features of the present embodiment, and to perform fishing, first, as shown in FIG. The unit 89 is switched to the shelf setting mode. Then, the initial value of "10 meters" is displayed on the digital display unit 89 and the character of "shelf stop" blinks. Therefore, the user operates the adjustment lever 91 to count up / down as shown in FIG. When the shelf setting mode switch 101 is pushed again at the stop position (50 meters), the set value is stored in the storage unit 117 as the shelf stop position, and the set value is “50 meters” as shown in FIG.
Flashes to notify the angler of the completion of the input, and the digital display unit 89 switches to the line length display mode.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the rotation of the spool 7 is automatically stopped when the fishing line 9 is paid out to a predetermined shelf position, similarly to the conventional fishing reel, and the preset value is set in advance. When the fishing line 9 is automatically wound up after a lapse of time, or when the winding amount of the fishing line 9 reaches a specified winding diameter level, the rotation of the spool motor 17 is stopped by the specified line winding amount detecting device 107 and the winding of the fishing line 9 is started. This embodiment is different from the conventional fishing reel shown in FIG. 20 in that many numeric keys are not arranged close to each other.
One adjustment lever 91 for finely adjusting the rotation speed of the spool motor 17 is also used as a switch for setting automatic operation conditions such as setting of a shelf position and automatic winding start time of the fishing line 9. It is.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the automatic operation conditions such as the desired shelf position and the automatic winding start time on the swaying ship can be attained.
When setting a condition, it is not necessary to operate many numeric keys as in the related art, and the input operation can be reliably performed with one adjustment lever 91 without erroneous operation.
The operation position of can be confirmed by electronic sound, and the count up /
The provision of the countdown fast-forward mechanism makes it easier and more reliable to set the shelf position and the like than in the past.

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the rotation speed of the spool motor 17 can be finely adjusted by the adjusting lever 91, it is possible to wind up the device at an optimum motor speed in accordance with the state of the sea. Since the safety measures at the time of restarting the winding are taken, there is an advantage that erroneous operation of the spool motor 17 due to erroneous operation can be prevented.

Further, according to the present embodiment, FIGS.
As shown in FIG.
Is engraved, so that the pointing portion 92 provided at the tip of the knob 91b of the adjusting lever 91 is adjusted to the scale 95, so that the angler can instantly select and set a desired motor output.

FIG. 19 shows a fishing according to the first and second aspects.
9 shows a second embodiment of a reel for use in the present invention. A reel body 137 according to the present embodiment has a single operation on a control panel 139 in place of the shelf input mode switch 101 and the timer setting mode switch 103 in the first embodiment. A mode changeover switch 141 is provided, and by pushing the mode changeover switch 141, "sailboat", "shelf", "timer",
While it is configured to sequentially select "Shakuri" etc.,
The selected position 143 flashes on the digital display unit 145 in accordance with each mode position displayed on the operation panel 139 by selection by the push operation of the mode changeover switch 141. The other configurations and the setting operation of the automatic operation conditions after each mode selection are the same as those in the first embodiment.

According to the present embodiment, unlike the conventional fishing reel shown in FIG. 20, a large number of numeric keys are not arranged in close proximity to each other. When setting the automatic winding start time, the input operation can be performed reliably without erroneous operation, and it is not necessary to operate many numeric keys as in the past, so that setting of the shelf position etc. is easier than in the past It became.

In each of the above embodiments, the potentiometer 9
Although the motor output was adjusted by using the potentiometer 3, a reed switch, a volume switch, a hall element, or the like may be used instead of the potentiometer 93, and the winding speed of the spool 17 can be made variable by these components. And automatic operation conditions can be set.

Also, with respect to a line length measuring method for measuring the feeding and winding length of the fishing line 9, a rotating body (a spool interlocking gear, a fishing line winding surface, Needless to say, a yarn length measuring means for detecting the rotation of the pressing roller or the like can be used.
