2. Description of the Related Art When a fishing operation is performed with a conventional electric fishing reel (both-bearing reel) for this type of fishing, it is necessary for a fisherman to take steps from inputting a fishing line (a device) to taking in a fish on the device. In general, various operations have been developed in which these operations are automatically performed by combining a microcomputer with various sensors.

[0003] As one example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-15847 exists, which detects the length of the fishing line payout, stores the distance to the shelf where fish can be caught, and automatically feeds the fishing line at an arbitrary length. It is provided with a function of temporarily stopping.

Accordingly, 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 wind up the fishing line. 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.

Further, in the above construction, the fishing line is only stopped when the fishing line reaches a predetermined shelf position, and the shaking operation (invitation) necessary for the subsequent fishing is performed by the angler moving the fishing rod and moving the rod tip up and down. It is common to move the gimmicks and invite fish to eat. 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.

Further, when the fishing line descends and stops at the set shelf position, there is no notice up to the stop position, and the fishing line stops immediately at the set position, so that preparations for the next operation must be made immediately. Have a point.

Voice = ON, press three times, “Alarm” = OFF, voice = OFF, press four times, “Alarm” = ON, “voice” = ON, and the above change is repeated according to the number of times the set switch 66 is pressed. .

When the shelf is stopped, an alarm and a sound are generated 6 m before the position where the shelf is set, an alarm is generated in units of 0.5 m, and a sound is issued in units of 3 m, and a message "soon to be a shelf" is issued. .

In the case of a boat-slip stop, start from the boat-slip position.
An alarm and sound are generated 10m before the alarm.
It is generated in 1m units between m and 5m, and between 5m and 0.5m
The gap is generated in 0.5m increments. Then, the voice will sound "Soon to be boating" in 3m increments from 10m before.

Next, the operation will be described. First, when the set switch 66 is turned on with the mode switching knob 63 set to the "auto" mode and the clutch operating lever 33 is pressed down, the clutch sliding plate 31 slides. The pinion gear hand sliding plate 30 is pushed up, and the engaging portion 34 of the clutch sliding plate 31 is pressed.
The pinion gear 20 held by the pinion gear sliding plate 30 is detached from the engagement groove 19 of the second arm wheel 16 to lock the spool 3. Free rotation (clutch off) is possible (Fig. 2
reference). At this time, since the solenoid 51 is not energized, the iron core 51a is pushed forward by the spring 53, and the stop claw 46 is disengaged from the stop gear 41, so that the stop gear 41 rotates together with the gear 27, No braking force acts on the rotation of the spool 3.

In this state, when the fishing line is paid out and the tackle is dropped, the feeding length of the fishing line is measured by the fishing line length measuring means C and the feeding length is measured. 6m before the alarm and sound are generated, and when the position matches the shelf position, the solenoid 51 is energized by the output signal from the CPU, whereby the iron core 51a of the solenoid 51 is pulled in, and the stop claw 46 is operated by the stop spring 47. To rotate in the direction meshing with the stop gear 41, and mesh with the stop gear 41 to stop the feeding of the fishing line.

The braking force required to stop the device at this time is set in advance on the gear 27. The setting method is as follows. The cap 45 screwed to the plate 1b is removed, and the brake adjusting cylinder 44 is set. By rotating the brake washer 42, the oval-shaped washer 43 and the stop gear 41 to change the degree of crimping.

In the state where the device is lowered and stopped at the predetermined shelf position as described above, the detection of the drawing length of the fishing line determined to be a fish signal or the number of rotations of the spool in the fishing line drawing direction is determined by the fishing line length. When it is detected by the measuring means C, the solenoid 39 is energized by an output signal from the CPU, and accordingly the iron core 39a is drawn inward, the cam plate 38 rotates and the engaging portion of the clutch switching plate 32 engages. The engagement between the engagement portion 34 of the clutch sliding plate 31 and the clutch sliding plate 31 is released, the clutch sliding plate 31 is returned to the original state by the spring force of the tension spring, and the pinion gear 20
The engaging groove 19 of the bracelet 16 is engaged (clutch ON), and the power to the solenoid 51 is cut off.
The iron core 51a is pushed forward by the resilience of 53 and the stop claw is
46 is released from engagement with the stop gear 41, the spool 3 is driven by the rotation of the motor 4, the fishing line is wound on the spool 3, and the hooked fish is pulled up.

The mechanism that has been lowered to a predetermined shelf position with the clutch off may be held as described above, but the mechanism may be gradually raised by setting the "invite" function.

When the device reaches 10 m before the preset boat-slip stop position, the sound output means F is activated by a signal from the CPU to generate an alarm and sound, and the device is turned up at the preset stop position. Stopped.

The set drawing length of the fishing line, the set-up winding length of the invitation function, and the set length of the shelf position stop, which are the determination factors of the fish signal, are determined by the magnet of the length measuring roller and the Hall IC of the holding case. The present invention is not limited to the structure performed by the length measuring mechanism composed of the above, but may be performed by a mechanism that detects the number of rotations of the spool. In this case, a conversion coefficient is input according to the thickness (number) of the fishing line. Shall be.
