Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an electric reel used for fishing.

<Prior Art> As is apparent from, for example, patents FR-A-1 518 684, FR-A-2 052 065 and FR-A-2 607 667, an electric reel comprises a casing including a control device such as a switch or a motor. The casing has a wall provided with an opening through which transmission means for mechanical control passes, and the driving force of the control device is
It can be seen that the power is transmitted to an external controlled part which is outside the casing and supported by the casing.

<Problems to be Solved> Of course, since such a reel is used in the immediate vicinity of the water surface, the transmission means of the mechanical control is sealed, so that water does not touch the control device inside the casing. Is essential.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric fishing reel having a completely sealed mechanical control transmission means.

<Means for Solving the Problems> According to the present invention, an electric fishing reel includes a casing including a wall surface having at least one opening, a drum rotatably mounted on the casing and having a rim, and the casing An electric motor having a drive shaft rotatable for driving the rotatable drum, and a roller mounted on the drive shaft passing through the opening outside the casing and supporting the rim, A bag formed of an elastically deformable member, at least partially surrounding the electric motor near the opening, and sealing between the drive shaft and a wall surface of the casing; and a roller biased toward the rim. The electric motor is fixed to the casing at a position where the rotation of the drive shaft is transmitted to the rim by pre-compression of the bag in the direction of With a brim.

Preferably, the bag is formed of polyurethane, has the exact outer shape of the electric motor, tightly surrounds the electric motor, and hermetically penetrates the opening through the drive shaft of the electric motor. And close it.

When an electric motor is arranged in the casing to drive a rotary drum, as in patent FR-A-2 607 667, the transmission of the rotational movement between the motor shaft and the drum is: It is obtained by rollers outside the casing and also supports the rim of the drum, but according to the invention,
The pressure of the rollers on the rim is provided by the action of an elastically deformable part, which in addition has the significant advantage of providing a sealing of the opening of the casing through which the motor shaft passes.

The part is a tubular bag that partially wraps the outside of the motor, tightly surrounds the required portion of the motor, and partially closes the opening of the casing, from which the shaft of the motor is closed. Projecting through. The bag is pre-pressurized in the casing so that the roller mounted on the shaft of the electric motor presses against the rim.

To increase the sealing of the elastically deformable part,
If at least a part of the part is located in the opening, it is desirable to form a shoulder on the periphery of the opening, which elastically presses against both sides of the casing wall.

<Operation> According to the present invention, the battery, electric motor, and other electric components inside the casing are protected from external moisture, the internal components can be reliably operated from the outside, and the transmission means of mechanical control and its sealing are provided. It is possible to obtain a device that combines the means.

<Embodiment> An electric reel for fishing according to the present invention shown in the drawings,
It comprises a casing 1 sealed by a lid 2 and a drum 3 rotating about a bearing 4 fixed to the casing 1, the drum 3 being on the opposite side of the lid 2 of the casing.

The foot 5 fixed to the casing 1 is provided for fixing the reel to a fishing rod or the like.

An electric motor 6 and a battery 7 for the electric motor 6 are provided in the casing 1. A switch 8 in the casing 1 controls power transmitted from the battery 7 to the electric motor 6 by controlling a lever 9 that rotates about a pin 10 fixed to the casing 1. The lever 9 has a projection 11 that comes into contact with a pin 12 that penetrates the wall of the casing 1 through the opening 13. The opening 13 is closed by a polyurethane ring 14 sealing the opening 13, and the ring 14 itself allows the pin 12 to pass therethrough. Ring as shown in the drawing
Reference numeral 14 denotes a peripheral edge of the opening 13, and it is desirable to form a shoulder portion on both sides of the wall surface of the casing 1.

When the lever 9 is rotated about the pin 10, the protrusion 11 of the lever 9 contacts the first end (outer end) of the pin 12,
Swings in a direction intersecting the length direction of the ring 14 as a fulcrum due to the elastic deformation of the ring 14. At this time, the second end (inner end) of the pin 12 is
Acts on 15.

Next, the shaft 16 of the electric motor 6 passes through the wall of the casing 1 through the gap 17 of the casing 1. A drive roller 18 is provided at the end, and presses the rim 19 of the drum 3.

A polyurethane bag 20 tightly surrounds the motor 6 and closes the gap 7. The shaft 16 of the electric motor 6 is
And protrudes through the lip 21. Since the electric motor 6 is fixed in the casing 1 by the collar 22 which presses the bag 20 in advance, the roller 18 presses the rim 19 elastically.

As such, when the lever 9 rotates about the pin 10, the protrusion
11 swings pin 12 and activates switch 18 against the elasticity of ring 14. Thereby, power is supplied to the electric motor 6 and the roller 18 rotates the drum 3. When the lever 9 is returned in the opposite direction, the power supply to the electric motor 6 stops,
Immediately, the ring 14 returns to its initial configuration and returns the pin 12 to its pre-swing position.

Thus, both the ring 14 and the bladder 20 simultaneously provide a sealing function and an elastic function to the pin 12 and the shaft 16, respectively, at a time.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a transparent window 23 is formed in the lid 2 of the casing 1 and an electric lamp 24 (partially shown) is disposed therein, and power is supplied from a battery through a switch 25. Work as a lighting device.

As shown in FIG. 4, the switch 25 is moved to a slight touch in the peripheral housing 27 by sliding portions 26 (26a and 26b).
And an elastically deformable block 28 that seals an opening 29 in the wall of the casing. The central portion 28a of the block 28 is partially
It is separated from 8b by a gap 30 so that the central part 28a can move more. In addition, block 28
The central part 28a of the ramp is a ramp installed in the part 26b of the sliding part 26.
A projection 31 is provided for supporting a ball 32 or the like for frictional damping in contact with 33.

Thus, the peripheral portion 28b of the block 28 seals the opening 29, and when the sliding portion 26 is moved (from left to right in FIG. 4) and pushed up by the ramp 33 of the sliding portion, the central portion becomes 28
“a” operates so that the two terminals 34 and 35 are closed and an electrical connection is made. Then, the lamp 24 is turned on. Sliding part
When the ball 26 returns to its initial position (FIG. 4), the ball 32 follows the ramp 33 due to the elasticity of the block 28, and the terminals 34 and 35 are moved.
Are separated by this elastic action.

In this case, the block 28 is a seal between the inside and the outside of the casing 1,
Perform both machine communications.

The block 28 is provided with a shoulder, and the wall of the casing 1 is sandwiched by the periphery of the opening 29 from both sides.

<Effects of the present invention> According to the present invention, there is an effect that an inexpensive electric reel for fishing can be obtained with high operability and low cost, which secures watertight protection of electric components installed therein with a simple structure.
