DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention switches between a entering position where a rotating body for winding a fishing line is connected to a winding drive system and a cutting position where the connection is released to allow idle rotation of the rotating body. It is equipped with a clutch mechanism and a measuring device that calculates the amount of fishing line fed from this rotating body.Based on the measurement results from this measuring device, a shelf grasping operation that determines the water depth of the in-process with respect to the reel, and a measurement based on the water bottom And a fishing reel provided with a control device that outputs a result of the operation to a notifying device. The present invention relates to a technique for setting a value of a water bottom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an example of a fishing reel constructed as described above, which is used for boat fishing, a measuring device for measuring the amount of rotation of a spool for winding fishing line is used in this type of reel. With a measuring device such as a structure having a roller that comes into contact with the fishing line wound on the spool,
A device that includes a control device that obtains a feed amount of fishing line from a spool based on a signal from the measuring device, and outputs the value as a depth of a shelf to a notification device such as a liquid crystal display as a digital number or the like. There are also those that are commercially available, and that output the amount of lifting up to the in-process with respect to the water bottom to a notification device.

[0003]

Considering the handling of the reels described above, in this type of reel, the depth of the work in progress is grasped by the value output to a notification device such as a liquid crystal display. When taking the shelves,
The fisherman lowers the device to the bottom of the water (sea bottom), and the angler determines that the landing has been made, based on the degree of bending of the tip of the fishing rod or the sense of the hand, and further operates the switch to determine the value of the water bottom. It is stored in a register or the like of the control device, and thereafter, the value based on the water bottom is configured to be grasped through the notification device.

When the switch is operated, the value held in the register or the like is the amount of fishing line fed out with reference to the reel, and based on this value, the amount of lifting of the device with respect to the water bottom is notified. Will be output.

[0005] However, as described above, in the conventional reel, the angler senses that the device has settled down, and requires switch operation or the like. In the case of performing a switch operation, for example, when fishing for a fish called “bottom thing” such as scorpion fish, since the number of operations is large,
The operation is cumbersome, and in the case of a beginner, it is difficult to determine the bottom of the device, and there is room for improvement.

Incidentally, in order to grasp the exact depth of the water bottom, the clutch mechanism is disengaged to lower the work to the water bottom by the weight of the work, and after this landing, the clutch mechanism is turned on and operated. While checking the tension acting on the fishing line, the fishing line is gradually wound up, and a point at which the tension acting on the fishing line suddenly increases is set on the bottom of the water.

An object of the present invention is to rationally configure a fishing reel capable of easily setting the value of the water bottom without causing the angler to feel troublesome.

[0008]

According to a first feature of the present invention, as described at the beginning, a clutch device is provided, and a measuring device for obtaining an amount of fishing line fed from a rotating body is provided. Based on the control, the shelf grasping operation for obtaining the water depth of the device based on the reel and the bottom shelf grasping operation for obtaining the lifting distance to the device based on the water bottom are performed, and the operation result is output to the notification device. In a fishing reel equipped with a device, a sensor for determining a tension acting on a fishing line is provided, and a signal from the sensor indicates that the tension of the fishing line has risen to a predetermined value in a state where the clutch mechanism is set to the on position. When it is determined, there is provided a water bottom setting means for setting a water depth value of the shelf grasping operation at the time of this determination to a value of a water bottom serving as a reference of the bottom shelf grasping operation,
or,

A second feature of the present invention is, as described at the beginning, a clutch device, a measuring device for determining the amount of fishing line fed from the rotating body, and a reel based on the measurement result from the measuring device.

The reel includes an electric motor that drives the rotating body in a winding direction, and a sensor that obtains a tension acting on the fishing line. The tension of the fishing line is controlled by driving the electric motor in a state where the clutch mechanism is set to the on position. Is determined by the sensor to have risen to a predetermined value, the water depth value of the shelf grasping operation at the time of this determination is set to the value of the water bottom serving as a reference for the bottom shelf grasping operation. Located that it includes a setting means,
The operation and effect are as follows.

When the first feature is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, for example, when the value B of the bottom of the water is set by boat fishing or the like, the clutch mechanism C is disengaged and the weight of the in-process weight is reduced. Is performed, the clutch mechanism C is engaged after the work is landed, and the operation of winding the fishing line 4 around the rotating body 5 (spool) by operating the handle 6 is performed. At the timing when the value of the fishing line 4 has risen to a predetermined value, that is, at the timing when the tension of the fishing line 4 has increased due to the work being started to separate from the water bottom, the amount B of the fishing line 4 fed from the rotating body 5 is set as the value B of the water bottom. Become.

That is, according to the present invention, the input of the mechanism is performed by the disengagement operation of the clutch mechanism C as before, and after the mechanism has settled down, the clutch mechanism C is operated in the same manner as the conventional operation, and the fishing line is operated. By simply performing the operation of removing the slack (4), the water bottom value B is automatically set by the water bottom setting means S.

When the second feature is configured as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, for example, when the value B of the water bottom is set for fishing on a boat or the like, the clutch mechanism C is disengaged and operated in the same manner as described above. Then, the work is lowered by its own weight, the clutch mechanism C is turned on after the work has landed, and the rotating body 5 is driven by the electric motor 25, so that the tension of the fishing line 4 at this drive reaches a predetermined value. At the rising timing, that is, at the timing when the tension of the fishing line 4 is increased when the device starts to separate from the water bottom, the amount of the fishing line 4 fed from the rotating body 5 is set as the value B of the water bottom.

That is, in the present invention, the input of the mechanism is performed by the disengagement operation of the clutch mechanism C as before, and after the mechanism has landed, the clutch mechanism C is turned on and operated in the same manner as in the conventional operation. The operation of removing the slack of the fishing line 4 by driving the motor 25 is merely performed.
The bottom value is set automatically.
