Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a clutch mechanism that allows free rotation of a rotating body that winds a fishing line to feed out the fishing line from the rotating body.
And, when the amount of fishing line fed from the rotating body by the clutch mechanism reaches a predetermined value, the operation of the clutch mechanism,
Alternatively, the present invention relates to a fishing reel provided with automatic stopping means for preventing free rotation of a rotating body by operating a braking device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a fishing reel configured as described above,
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-248440 discloses a conventional example. In this conventional example, the amount of fishing line to be paid out is obtained by counting the number of rotations of a spool (rotating body), and when the amount of drawing reaches the stored value. Automatic stopping means is configured to prevent the rotation of the spool by the engagement operation of the clutch mechanism.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Considering the situation when using the reel configured as in the above-mentioned conventional example, this type of reel is mainly used for fishing in a boat. Each time, the work can be automatically stopped at the depth of the shelf, so that there is no trouble and there is an effective surface that allows highly efficient fishing.

Also, the depth of the shelf usually changes over time, and when the depth of the shelf changes, winding of the fishing line,
Alternatively, the depth of the shelf is often searched for by changing the depth of the work in progress.

However, when the depth of the shelf is searched by changing the depth of the work in this way, in a state where the depth of the shelf is set to the automatic stopping means as described above, after winding the fishing line, when lowering the work in progress, Since the clutch mechanism is always engaged and operated, the angler currently operates to disconnect the clutch mechanism every time this operation is performed.

Therefore, it is conceivable to delete the data of the shelf depth set in the automatic stop means. However, not only does the reference shelf become unknown at the time of reloading the work, but it also takes time and effort to operate the clutch mechanism. There is room.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to rationally configure a fishing reel capable of easily performing an operation for searching for a shelf without impairing the effectiveness of the automatic stopping means.

[Means for solving the problem]

The feature of the present invention is that in a fishing reel provided with automatic stopping means as described at the beginning, after the free rolling of the rotating body is prevented by the automatic stopping means, the fishing line is wound around the rotating body, When reeling out the fishing line by free rolling again, if the winding amount is a value smaller than the set value, there is provided a check means that does not prevent the free rolling from being stopped by the automatic stopping means. The operation and effect are as follows.

(Operation)

When the above features are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the descent of the work (54) is automatically stopped at the depth (E) of the shelf by the automatic stopping means (F). Thereafter, an operation of lifting the work (54) within a range smaller than a predetermined set value (G) (5 meters in the operation shown in FIG. 8) is performed, and the rolling line (2) is again free-rolled from the rotating body (2). 43), the automatic stop means (F) does not stop on the shelf, and the work in progress (5
4) can be lowered.

That is, even when the depth of the work in process (54) is gradually increased as in the case of searching for a shelf, the stop by the automatic stop means (F) is performed without erasing the depth of the shelf set in the automatic stop means (F). Can be prevented.

〔The invention's effect〕

Therefore, a fishing reel that can be easily operated without troublesome operations when searching for shelves without impairing the effectiveness of the automatic stopping means by a simple modification of providing a check means that can be relatively easily configured by software.

Also, four magnets (4
1) A pair of reed switches (42), (4)
2) is arranged inside the side case (1).

In this reel, the fishing line (43) is attached to the spool (2).
When winding the spool (2), as shown in FIG. 4, the length of the fishing line (43) wound around the spool (2) is actually measured using a tool (T), and the measured data is transferred to the spool (2). Is stored in a memory (not shown) provided in a control system corresponding to the number of rotations (this operation is referred to as learning). When fishing, the tool (T) is removed and the spool (2) is rotated. The length of the fishing line (43) being unwound from the spool (2) is displayed on the liquid crystal display (33) only by counting.

The tool (T) is a tool body (45) attached to the upper surface of the control case (5) by a clamp (44).
And an arm (46) swingably supported by the tool body (45). An end of the arm (46) is provided with a roller (47), and the rotation of the roller (47) is large. Gear (48)} and the intermediate shaft (49) are transmitted to the wheel (50) which is housed in the roots body (45) and has the magnet (41).

When the learning operation is performed, the contents of the memory and the display on the liquid crystal display (33) are cleared by turning on the reset switch (35), and the tool (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5) is used. After attaching T), the start switch (32) is turned on to start winding the fishing line (43).

When the fishing line (43) is wound in this way, the rotation of the roller (47) in contact with the outer surface of the fishing line (43) wound on the spool (2) and the rotation of the spool (2) are: Pulse signals from a pair of Hall elements (40) and (40) and a pair of reed switches (42) and (42) are input to the control device (38).

Next, after an appropriate amount of the fishing line (43) has been wound, the start switch (32) is operated again to stop the drive of the electric motor (6), and the set switch (36) is turned on, whereby
A program for displaying the feeding amount of the fishing line (43), that is, a program for shelf display is started, a value of "0" is displayed on the liquid crystal display (33), and thereafter, the tool (T) is removed. Also, the length of the fishing line (43) being unwound from the spool (2) by the rotation of the spool (2) is configured to be able to be grasped by the digital number of the liquid crystal display (33), and this liquid crystal display (33) A depth display section (33A) and a previous shelf display section (31B) are formed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when fishing on the boat (53), the spool (2) is set to a free rolling state by the disengagement operation of the clutch mechanism (D), as shown in FIG. When the in-process (54) reaches the depth (E) of the shelf, the actuator (28) operates the clutch mechanism (D) so as to stop the lowering of the in-process (54). F) and the set value (G) from this stopped state.
After the fishing line (43) has been wound within the range of (5 m), the restraining means (H) which does not stop the automatic stopping means (F) even if the work (54) is lowered (each of them) Are constituted by software described later).

A hull data switch (55) is provided on the upper surface of the control case (5).

The control system is configured as shown in FIG. 1, and the operation of this control system is as follows.

In other words, when fishing, as shown in Fig. 6, the initial setting is performed, the depth (length of the drawn out fishing line), the shelf is displayed, the clutch is controlled, and the alarm (39) is controlled. And
A main program is set to control the motor (6) (# 100, # 200, # 300, # 400, # 500 steps).

Steps # 200, # 300, # 400, and # 500 are each set as a subroutine, and the outline thereof is shown in FIGS. 7 to 10.

As shown in FIG. 7, the depth and the shelf are displayed by first counting the rotation of the spool (2) and displaying the depth based on the learning data described above (steps # 201 and # 202). Next, the presence or absence of the previous shelf data is determined (step # 203). If there is no previous shelf data, if the rotation of the spool (2) is stopped for 3 seconds or more, the current display is performed. Memorized depth data in the current shelf data,
If it does not stop for more than 3 seconds, the deepest shelf data is stored (steps # 201 to # 209).

If the previous shelf data exists in step # 203 and the rotation of the spool (2) is stopped for 6 seconds or more, the data of the currently displayed depth is stored in the current shelf data. If it does not stop for 6 seconds or more, the current shelf data is stored (steps # 20 to # 215).

Thereafter, when the current shelf data exists when the count value returns to “0”, the current shelf data is set to the previous shelf data, and when the current shelf data does not exist, the deepest shelf data is set. Is set as the previous shelf data, and thereafter, the previous shelf data is displayed (steps # 216 to # 220).

In the display of the depth and the shelf, only the operation of automatically storing the data of the shelf based on the passage of time is described.

As shown in FIG. 8, the control of the clutch (step # 300) is to operate the clutch mechanism (D) in and out, and this operation is performed by driving the actuator (28) in both forward and reverse directions. The operation is as follows.

That is, in this control, the on / off operation of the clutch mechanism (D) is performed according to the operation state of the clutch switch (37) (steps # 301 to # 303), and then the hoist sensor (31)
When the handle (4) is operated to lift the clutch (D), the clutch mechanism (D) is engaged (steps # 304 and # 305).

In this control, a control operation is set so that the same operation is not performed when it is determined that the overlapping operation is performed while the clutch mechanism (D) is in the on state (the same applies to the case of the off operation). ing.

Next, in the clutch mechanism (D) or in the disengaged state, if the previous shelf data exists and there is no stop on the previous shelf (#
(Steps 306 to # 308), the clutch mechanism (D) is engaged and operated at the timing when the fishing line (43) is fed out until the value matches the previous shelf data value (Steps # 309 and # 310).

If it is determined in step # 308 that the work-in-process (54) has been lowered and stopped on the previous shelf after the work-in-process (54) is put in, the work-in-process (54) is at least 5 meters from the previous shelf depth. The operation of the above-described steps # 309 and # 310 is performed only when is lifted, and in other cases, the engagement operation of the clutch mechanism (D) is not performed (step # 311).

The combination of steps # 309 and # 310 in this flowchart is the movement stopping means (F), and the combination of steps # 308 and # 311 is the restraining means (H).

The determination that the in-process has reached the shelf is made based on the rotation amount of the spool (2).

As shown in FIG. 9, the alarm control first determines the rotation of the spool (2) (step # 401), and only when the rotation direction is the direction in which the fishing line (43) is fed (step # 402), Spool (2) count value (depth display value)
However, the alarm (39) is activated at the timing when the value reaches 5 m before the value of the previous shelf (steps # 403 and # 404), and the angler recognizes that the device has reached the vicinity of the shelf.

When it is determined in step # 401 that the rotation of the spool (2) is in the direction of winding the fishing line (43), an alarm (depth display value) of the spool (2) is generated when the count value (depth display value) of the spool (2) reaches 7 m. 39) is activated (steps # 405 and # 406) to make the angler aware that the gimmick has reached the vicinity of the hull.

In this reel, the fishing line (4
When feeding out 3), by operating the clutch switch (37), the clutch mechanism (D) associated with the spool (2) is turned off, and the spool (2) is set to a freely rotatable state. When pulling out the fishing line (43) according to the weight of the device and winding the fishing line (43) around the spool (2), operate the handle (4) slightly in the winding direction, or use the clutch switch (37). After turning on and operating the clutch mechanism (D), the start switch (3
The electric motor (6) is driven by the ON operation of 2).

Also, without pressing the start switch (32), handle (4)
Can be manually wound up.

As shown in FIG. 10, the control of the motor (6) is performed by first determining the state of the mode switch (34) and, if the mode switch is ON, performing a "shake operation" in response to the operation of the start switch (32). Or stop the motor (6) (#
(Steps 501 to # 504) Note that the "shaking operation" is an automatic operation for inviting fish by moving the device (54) up and down by intermittently driving the motor (6). .

Also, when the mode switch (34) is in the OFF state and the start switch (32) is turned ON, the feeding amount of the fishing line (43) is set to the hull set value (set to 5 meters).
The drive of the motor (6) is performed until it reaches within the predetermined range, and when the feed amount of the fishing line (43) reaches within this set value, the motor (6) is operated only when the start switch (32) is kept pressed. ) Is driven (# 505 to # 509 steps).

Also, as shown in steps # 506 and # 510, if the hull data exists in advance, the motor (6) continues to be driven until the feeding amount of the fishing line (43) reaches this data value,
When it reaches, it stops (# 511 step).

The motor (6) is stopped when the start switch (32) is turned off in step # 505, or when # 508 is stopped.
This is also performed when the pressing operation of the start switch (32) is released in the step.

Describing the hull data described above, this data can be set to an arbitrary value.
As shown by the phantom line in the figure, when setting the data so that the in-process (54) is just at hand with the pole (56) standing, the motor (6) is driven or the handle (4) is set. After setting the feeding amount of the fishing line (43) so that the state shown in the figure is obtained by the operation described above, by turning on the hull data switch (55), the value of this data is set in a memory (not shown). It has become so.
