DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to an improvement in a fishing reel provided with a drag mechanism for applying a braking force to the rotation of a rotating body for winding a fishing line in a fishing line feeding direction. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Trolling reels are an example of a fishing reel. A conventional fishing reel is provided with a drag mechanism having a structure for applying a braking force to a spool shaft or a spool. An operating tool is provided, and when using this trolling reel, the braking force is artificially adjusted via a drag operating tool in accordance with the strength of the fish pulling or the amount of fishing line fed out.

[0003]

The operation of the trolling reel at the time of initial setting of the braking force will now be described. In this type of reel, the fishing line is fully wound around a spool (rotary body). In addition, an appropriate braking force is set in accordance with the strength of the fishing line while taking measures such as applying a tension to the fishing line. In this initial setting, a preset operation of the braking force of the drag mechanism or the like is performed in a state where the drag operation tool is set in a predetermined position (hereinafter, referred to as a strike position), and after the braking force is set in this manner, An appropriate braking force is obtained simply by setting the drag operation tool to the strike position.

[0004] However, fishing using a trolling reel often targets fish with a high pulling force. Therefore, when the fish is caught, a large amount of fishing line is drawn out, and this is caused by a reduction in the winding radius of the fishing line on the spool. Then, even if the drag operation tool is set at the strike position, the tension acting on the fishing line may be increased to cut the fishing line.
Further, when the fishing line is extended in this manner, the braking force can be adjusted manually, but it is difficult to obtain an appropriate braking force according to the reduction in the winding radius of the fishing line. There is room for improvement. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel that sets an appropriate braking force and suppresses cutting of a fishing line even when the winding radius of the fishing line is greatly reduced by feeding of the fishing line from a rotating body for winding the fishing line. It is in the point that it comprises.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is characterized in that a rotating body for winding a fishing line, and a drag mechanism for applying a braking force to the rotation of the rotating body in a fishing line unwinding direction are provided. A point provided with an adjusting means for reducing the braking force of the drag mechanism as the body rotates in the fishing line feeding direction; a rotating body for winding the fishing line; and rotation of the rotating body in the fishing line feeding direction. And a drag mechanism for applying a braking force to the drag mechanism.When the rotary body rotates in the fishing line payout direction, the drag mechanism braking force is reduced based on the rotation amount of the rotary body, and the drag mechanism slides on the drag mechanism. A constant value of the tension of the critical fishing line causing the
Alternatively, it is provided with an adjusting means for setting the value to a substantially constant value, and its operation and effect are as follows.

[0006]

When the above features are configured as shown in FIG. 1, for example, when the fishing line L is extended from the rotating body 4, the adjusting means A reduces the braking force of the drag mechanism D by the rotation amount of the rotating body 4. I do. According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the rotating body 4 is rotated in the direction in which the fishing line L is fed, the adjusting means A automatically reduces the braking force of the drag mechanism D and causes the drag mechanism D to slip. The value of the tension of the critical fishing line L to be critical is made uniform, and this uniformization is performed based on the amount of rotation of the rotating body 4, so that the drag operation tool 20 is artificially operated. High-precision adjustment will be performed.

[0007]

Therefore, even if the winding radius of the fishing line is greatly reduced by the improvement of the provision of the adjusting means, an appropriate braking force can be set to the drag mechanism without any special operation by the angler. Thus, the fishing reel for suppressing the cutting of the fishing line was rationally configured.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a spool 4 as a rotating body is idlely supported via a ball bearing 3 on a support shaft 2 arranged in a lateral position on the reel body 1, and a handle shaft 6 connected to the handle 5. A transmission mechanism for transmitting the motive power from the transmission to the spool 4 via a drag mechanism D and a drag mechanism D is formed to form a trolling reel.

This reel is provided with a click mechanism comprising a resin ring member 9 provided on the side surface of the spool 4 on the side opposite to the handle and a projecting piece 10 so as to generate an intermittent sound when the spool 4 rotates. In the mechanism, a large number of openings 9A each having an inclined surface 9S are formed at the opening edge of the ring member 9, and the projecting pieces 10 are urged to project toward the ring member 9.

The inclined surface 9S is arranged on the lower side of the fishing line winding direction W so as to reduce the resistance during winding of the fishing line. Among the gears 7 and 8 of the transmission mechanism, the one on the support shaft side is idlely supported on the support shaft 2 and a roller type one-way clutch 1 interposed between the gear body and the reel body 1.
1 prevents reverse rotation (rotation in the fishing line unwinding direction), and a sleeve 12 that receives a braking force of the drag mechanism D is connected to the gear 8.

Incidentally, the support shaft 2 is prevented from rotating by engaging the pin 13 at the shaft end with the concave portion 1A of the reel body 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the drag mechanism D attaches a plate 14 formed by joining a copper plate 14A and a stainless plate 14B in advance to the side surface of the spool, and attaches a friction plate 15 that comes into contact with the plate 14. Oil 17 is sealed in the inside of a protective material 16 covering the sleeve 12 and covering them. At the time of braking of the drag mechanism D, the heat distribution of the copper plate 14A and the stainless plate 14B is made uniform by good heat transfer. At the same time, oil 17 prevents the friction surface from deteriorating.
The heat is dissipated via the.

In the drag mechanism D, the operating force is transmitted to the spool 4 via the disc spring 19 and the bearing 3 by pulling the support shaft 2 toward the handle (right side in FIG. 1). Thus, the entire spool 4 is displaced to increase the braking force. The braking force is controlled by a manual operation using a lever-shaped operating tool 20 and an automatic operation based on the rotation of the spool by a gear-type adjusting means A. And is adjusted by: That is, a preset dial 21 is screwed into the screw portion 2S at the end of the support shaft 2, and the dial 21 and the reel body 1 are fitted between the dial 21 and the reel body 1 in a detented state with respect to the reel body 1. The support piece 22 supported together, the first cam 23 integrally formed with the operation tool 20, and the second cam 24 fitted and supported in the reel body 1 in a detent state
And a rotatable member 25 rotatable with respect to the support shaft 2.
The amount of displacement of the support shaft 2 is changed by the action of the cam surface formed between the support piece 22 and the support piece 22, and the braking force of the drag mechanism D is adjusted.

An input gear 26, an output gear 27, a clutch mechanism 28, and a planetary gear, or a planetary gear, are provided between a gear 4A formed on the spool 4 and a gear 25A formed on the rotary member 25. When the fishing line L is fed out from the spool 4, the rotating member 25 is rotated by the power from the adjusting means A. Thus, the braking force of the drag mechanism D is automatically reduced by the action of the cam surface formed between the rotating member 25 and the second cam 24. The support piece 22 and the first cam 2
3, a climb-up cam for adjusting the distance between the spool shafts 2 along the axial direction of the spool shaft 2 is formed by the respective relative rotation phases. A cam surface having the same structure is formed between the rotary member 25 and the cam surface so that the second cam 24 and the rotary member 25 move closer to each other as the amount of the fishing line L fed from the spool 4 increases. The shape of the surface is set, whereby the braking force of the drag mechanism is adjusted as described above.

The amount of reduction of the braking force by the adjusting means A is independent of the winding radius of the fishing line L around the spool 4.
The shape of the cam surface between the rotating member 25 and the second cam 24 is set so as to maintain a constant value of the tension of the fishing line that causes the drag mechanism D to slip, and the state of adjustment of the braking force is shown in FIG. It is represented like a graph. In this graph, when the adjusting means A is not operated, the braking force acting on the fishing line L from the drag mechanism D increases as the winding diameter of the fishing line L with respect to the spool increases, as indicated by the broken line X. A is activated, the adjusting means A
As shown by the dashed line Y, as the winding diameter of the fishing line around the spool decreases, the operation of reducing the braking force on the fishing line L is performed. As a result, these braking forces are combined, as shown in the graph represented by the solid line Z. , Fishing line L
Therefore, the braking force acting on the tire is made uniform.

[Other Embodiment] In addition to the above-described embodiment, the present invention measures the rotation amount of the spool based on a signal from a sensor 32 which receives the magnetic action of a magnet 31 embedded in the spool, as shown in FIG. 6, for example. By providing the control device 34 for driving the electric motor 33 based on the measurement result, it is possible to configure the adjusting means A in an electrically operated type. In the present invention, if the adjusting means A is of a gear type, the reduction ratio can be changed or the cam surface can be selected so that the operating characteristics of the adjusting means A can be changed in accordance with the diameter of the fishing line L. A structure may be adopted, and when the adjusting means A is of an electric type, it can be implemented in various forms such as setting a program so as to change the control characteristics.
