DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel for controlling the rotation speed of a spool drive motor by operating a handle of a manual handle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The present applicant has previously filed Japanese Patent Application No. 58-230.
In No. 240 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-42856), the rotational speed of the spool drive motor is controlled by operating the handle of the manual handle, and the fishing line is wound by the power of the spool drive motor as if by a manual winding operation. We proposed an electric reel for fishing.

That is, in this electric fishing reel, as shown in FIG. 3, a control disk 5 is mounted on a handle shaft 3 of a manual handle 1, and a frame plate 7 and a side plate are sandwiched by the control disk 5. The light-emitting element 11 and the light-receiving element 13 are arranged opposite to each other on the 9 side, and the control disk 5 has a perforated disk structure in which a number of small holes 15 are formed as shown in FIG. I have.

[0004] Then, the spool drive motor 17 is switched.
After turning on the switch 19 to make it rotatable, release the clutch.
Turn OFF (spool free state) and turn the manual handle 1
When the control disk 5 is rotated forward , the control disk 5 rotates and the light exiting the light emitting element 11 passes through the small hole 15 and reaches the light receiving element 13. The detected signal is input to the control device 21, and the rotation of the spool drive motor 17 is controlled.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 23 denotes a drive gear fitted and fixed to the handle shaft 3, 25 denotes a pinion gear that meshes with the drive gear 23, and the pinion gear 25 is mounted on the pinion shaft 29 by switching a clutch lever 27. And the clutch connection with the spool shaft 31 is disengaged. In the figure, reference numeral 33 denotes a spool, and reference numeral 35 denotes a power transmission mechanism of the spool drive motor 17 including a plurality of gears.

[0006]

However, in the electric fishing reel, the power transmission mechanism 35 of the spool drive motor 17 and the handle shaft 3 to which the control disk 5 is attached are independent of each other.
Also, when the handle is operated with the clutch off, the spool
Due to the structure for controlling the rotation of the drive motor 17, fluctuations in the load applied to the spool drive motor 17 during fishing are not transmitted to the manual handle 1 at all , and the manual handle 1 simply functions as a lever for shifting the rotation speed of the spool drive motor 17. Only had.

[0007] For this reason, can not instantaneous response in accordance with the variation of the load applied to the spool drive motor 17 At a actual fishing, or I give away the fish too much wind the manual handle 1, also, originally fishing However, there was a drawback such as lack of interest.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and is an improvement over a conventional electric fishing reel for controlling the rotation speed of a spool drive motor by operating a handle of a manual handle. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric fishing reel which allows a change angle of a load applied to a motor to be sensed by an angler.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electric fishing reel comprising: a spool rotatably supported by a reel body; and a spool drive motor for winding and driving the spool. A speed reduction mechanism comprising a planetary gear for transmitting winding power by a spool drive motor to the spool; a transmission gear connected to the reduction mechanism; and a transmission gear attached to a handle shaft of a manual handle mounted on the reel body. A driving gear that meshes with a rotating body, a rotating body that includes a transmitting body provided on a rotating body that is rotated by a rotating operation of a manual handle, and a rotation speed detection device for a rotating body that includes a sensor that is installed to face the transmitting body. spool in accordance with the rotational speed detection signal detected by the rotation speed detection device rotator
Control the rotation speed of the
Winding motion of spool drive motor by wheel and drive gear
A reaction force against the force is generated on the handle shaft, and the spool drive
The load on the dynamic motor can be sensed through the handle shaft
It is like that .

The invention according to claim 2 is based on claim 1.
In the electric fishing reel described above, the transmission gear can be disengaged from the speed reduction mechanism by operating a clutch switching means.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the rotation speed of the rotating body changes according to the operation of the handle of the manual handle. Therefore, according to the rotation speed detection signal of the rotation speed detection device detecting the change, The rotation of the spool drive motor is controlled.

When the spool drive motor rotates by operating the manual handle, the power transmission path to the spool side and the two drive gears to the handle shaft via the transmission gear and the drive gear due to the structure of the speed reduction mechanism composed of the planetary gears. A power transmission path is formed, and the winding power of the spool drive motor for reversely rotating the manual handle is transmitted to the power transmission path to the handle shaft.

However, in the present invention, since the rotation speed of the spool drive motor is controlled by operating the handle of the manual handle, the manual handle generates a reaction force against the winding power of the spool drive motor. Since this reaction force is a load applied to the spool drive motor during fishing, the angler can sense the load applied to the spool drive motor through the manual handle.

Therefore, when the manual handle is operated at a constant speed, the spool drive motor is driven at a constant rotation speed to wind up the spool. When the load changes, the rotation of the spool drive motor changes, and the change in the load is transmitted to the angler via the manual handle.

Therefore, if the angler who senses the change in the load adjusts the handle operation of the manual handle, the rotation speed of the spool drive motor is adjusted according to the handle operation. And the electric motor for fishing according to claim 2
According to the reel, the transmission teeth are operated by operating the clutch switching means.
The vehicle is disengaged from the speed reduction mechanism.

The rotation of the manual handle 49 causes the drive gear 95 to rotate. It is transmitted to. A locking claw 99 is locked on the claw of the ratchet 93, and the locking claw 99 is locked on the ratchet 93, so that when the spool 47 is wound by the spool driving motor 45, the handle shaft is locked. 91
Does not rotate in conjunction with it. In this embodiment, the gear ratio between the transmission gear 83 and the drive gear 95 is set to 1: 1.

In this embodiment, in addition to the above configuration, FIG.
As in the conventional electric reel for fishing shown in FIG.
The rotation speed of the spool drive motor 45 can be controlled by operating the handle 9.

That is, in FIG.
3 magnet (built-in body) buried in one side, 103
Is a reed switch (sensor) attached to the frame 39 so as to face the magnet 101, and the magnet 101 and the reed switch 103 rotate the ratchet 93 which is rotated by operating the manual handle 49 (forward rotation operation). Is converted into an electric signal to generate a pulse proportional to the rotational speed of the ratchet 93.
A rotation speed detection signal of the ratchet 93 detected by the rotation speed detection device 105 is input to a control device (not shown), and the spool drive motor 45 rotates forward by a command from the control device. It has become.

Since the rotation speed of the ratchet 93 changes in accordance with the operation of the handle of the manual handle 49, the rotation of the ratchet 93 is detected in response to the rotation speed detection signal of the rotation speed detecting device 105 which detects this change, that is, The rotation of the spool drive motor 45 is controlled in accordance with the rotation speed detection signal by the operation.

In addition, in FIG.
7, a magnet 109 buried in the frame 39 opposed to the magnet 107, the magnet 107 and the reed switch 109 convert the rotation of the spool 47 into an electric signal. The encoder 111 generates a pulse proportional to the number of revolutions of the spool 47. The pulse signal is input to the control device and calculated, and the calculation result is displayed on a digital display on the operation panel 113 as a fishing line payout amount. Section (not shown).

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 115 denotes a fishing line, and 117 denotes an ON / OFF switch disposed on the operation panel 113. When the ON / OFF switch 117 is turned on, the spool drive motor 45 is set in a rotatable state. It has become.

Since the electric fishing reel according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, in order to perform fishing with the electric fishing reel, the ON / OFF switch 117 is turned ON, and then the clutch lever 85 is turned ON. Is operated to release the clutch connection between the transmission gear 83 and the gear carry 77, the spool 47 is in a spool free state.
Is fed out of the spool 47 by the weight of the tackle or the like, and the rotation of the spool 47 is converted into a pulse corresponding to the feeding length of the fishing line 115 by the encoder 111, input to the control device, and is calculated. Is displayed on the digital display.

Therefore, if the angler returns the clutch lever 85 to the clutch ON position at a predetermined water depth while watching the display, the transmission gear 83 and the gear carry 77 are clutch-coupled, and the spool 47 is in the winding state.

When the input automatic operation conditions (such as a predetermined thread length at the shelf position) are satisfied by using the conventional thread length measuring device, the clutch mechanism automatically shifts from the spool free state. You may make it switch to a winding state.

As a method for feeding the fishing line 115, instead of operating the clutch lever 85, the adjusting member 97a of the drag device 97 is rotated in a loosening direction to reduce the frictional coupling force of the drive gear 95 to the handle shaft 91. After the fishing line 115 is extended to a predetermined length while being weakened to the minimum, the adjusting body 97a may be operated again in the tightening direction to switch to the winding state.

In this state, it is sufficient to wait for a fish hit, and when the fish hits, it is sufficient to wind up the manual handle 49. When the manual handle 49 is operated in this manner, the rotation speed detecting device is operated as described above. Spool drive motor 4 in response to a command from the control device that has input the rotation speed detection signal from
5 rotates forward, and the spool 47 is wound up.

Since the rotation speed of the ratchet 93 changes in accordance with the operation of the manual handle 49, the rotation of the spool drive motor 45 is controlled in accordance with the rotation speed detection signal of the rotation speed detecting device 105 which detects this change. Will be done.

Incidentally, the spool drive motor 45
Rotates, the power transmission path to the spool 47 side and the transmission gear 8 due to the structure of the reduction mechanism 61 composed of planetary gears.
3. Two power transmission paths are formed to the handle shaft 91 via the drive gear 95, and the power transmission path to the handle shaft 91 receives the winding power of the spool drive motor 45 for reversely rotating the manual handle 49. Convey.

However, as described above, in this embodiment, since the rotation speed of the spool drive motor 45 is controlled by operating the handle (forward rotation operation) of the manual handle 49, the winding of the spool drive motor 45 is A reaction force to the picking power is generated. The reaction force is a load applied to the spool drive motor 45 during fishing, and the angler can sense the load applied to the spool drive motor 45 through the manual handle 49.

For example, in a conventional manual fishing reel, the gear ratio between the pinion gear and the driving gear corresponding to the transmission gear 83 of this embodiment is set to, for example, 1: 4, and the prey is manually pulled up. Although a relatively large load was applied to the manual handle, as described above, in this embodiment,
The spool 47 is driven by the winding power of the spool drive motor 45. Since the gear ratio between the transmission gear 83 and the drive gear 95 is set to 1: 1, a slight load is applied to the manual handle 49. When the angler operates the manual handle 49 at a constant speed, the spool drive motor 45 is driven at a constant rotational speed to drive the fishing line 11.
When the load applied to the spool drive motor 45 fluctuates due to the influence of the tide, the pulling of prey, etc., the rotation of the spool drive motor 45 changes, and the change in the load is transmitted to the angler via the manual handle 49. Becomes

Accordingly, if the angler who senses the change in the load adjusts the operation of the manual handle 49, a rotation speed detection signal from the rotation speed detecting device 105 is input to the control device, and the rotation speed is detected. The rotation speed of the spool drive motor 45 is adjusted according to the signal.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the spool drive motor 45 can be controlled by operating the handle of the manual handle 49, and the fluctuation of the load applied to the spool drive motor 45 during the operation of the handle can be manually controlled. Since it can be sensed by the handle 49, it is possible to respond instantaneously according to the load fluctuation in actual fishing as compared with the electric fishing reel shown in FIG. 3, and as a result, the manual handle 49 is overwound. Without breaking the fish
In addition, the fun of fishing is also improved.

The load value applied to the manual handle 49 can be adjusted by changing the gear ratio between the transmission gear 83 and the drive gear 95. In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the electric fishing reel in which the spool drive motor 45 is incorporated in the spool 47. However, the present invention is also applicable to an electric fishing reel in which the spool drive motor is mounted between the side plates of the reel body. The present invention can be applied to an electric reel for fishing in which a clutch operating motor is driven by operating a clutch changeover switch provided on an operation panel instead of a clutch lever to turn on / off a clutch mechanism. Of course, the present invention can also be applied.

Further, in the above embodiment, the manual handle 4
Although the ratchet 93 is used as the rotating body that rotates by the rotation operation of No. 9, the magnet 101 and the reed switch 103 can be attached to the driving gear 95 using the driving gear 95, and in short, it is interlocked with the handle operation. The rotating body can be appropriately selected as long as it rotates.

Although not shown, in addition to the structure of the above-described embodiment, a separate selection switch can be provided so that the motor can be wound up by a normal switch operation or manually wound up by the manual handle 49. or,
The structure in which the transmission gear 83 is always connected to the speed reduction mechanism 61 allows the fishing line 115 to be fed out by the adjusting member 97 of the drag device 97.
The operation may be performed by the operation a. According to these embodiments, the intended purpose can be achieved similarly to the above embodiment.

[0042]

As described above, according to the electric fishing reel of the present invention, the rotation speed of the spool drive motor can be controlled by operating the handle of the manual handle, and the spool is driven when the handle is operated. Since the fluctuation of the load applied to the motor can be sensed, it is possible to respond instantaneously according to the fluctuation of the load in actual fishing compared to the conventional electric reel for fishing, and as a result, the manual handle is wound. The fish did not fall apart, and the fun of fishing was improved compared to the past.
