DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod provided with a sensor for measuring the tension of a fishing line and a control device for activating a notifying means when the value measured by the sensor reaches a preset value. It is related to the improvement of.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-31015 as a technique configured as described above. In this conventional example, a sensor for measuring a tension acting on a fishing line from a strain of a rod is used. In addition to the above, it is provided with an arithmetic processing unit, a numerical value input device, a storage unit, a display device, and the like. However, when the stored value is reached, the notification means is activated.

[0003]

Considering the conventional example described above, in this conventional example, since the strength of the fishing line can be set in advance by a numerical value input device, even when fishing lines of different strengths are used, By inputting the strength of the fishing line, even a beginner can adjust the drag mechanism or the like to prevent the fishing line from being cut.

[0004] Here, when considering the cutting of the fishing line during actual fishing, the cutting of the fishing line usually occurs at the part of the harris. However, the cutting load is not determined only by the strength of the harris, but is determined by the work in progress. Since it depends on the structure, the cutting may be performed with a load lower than the strength of Harris, depending on the structure of the mechanism used.

[0005] In particular, although the number of the fishing line on the market is displayed, the strength is rarely displayed.
Even with the same number, the diameter of the fishing line varies from manufacturer to manufacturer,
The strength of fishing line also differs depending on the material, and the strength varies greatly depending on the length of Harris.For example, in fishing using a thin harris such as a friend of ayu, even if a conventional numerical input device is used, the Harris In this conventional example, even if a break occurs during actual fishing, accurate correction cannot be performed and there is room for improvement.

Furthermore, when performing an awase operation like a horse mackerel, a part is cut off at the portion where the needle is hooked and escaped (barre).
In fishing for many types of fish (prone to cutouts), it is not possible to perform Awase operation very strongly.
In addition, since a sharp edge is generated even if the user pulls too hard at the time of capturing, a technique for performing the fishing operation and the capturing operation with an appropriate operation force in such fishing is desired. still,
When catching this kind of fish, even when targeting the same kind of fish, the value of the operation force of the awase operation which causes a cuttlefish differs depending on the size of the fish body (degree of growth), and the awase operation There is room for improvement from the viewpoint of performing with appropriate operating force.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a conventional good surface in which the tension acting on a fishing line is obtained via a sensor provided at a portion of a fishing rod to enable an operation for preventing the fishing line from being cut or the like. It is an aspect of the present invention to rationally construct a fishing rod capable of accurately grasping the degree of operation of the rod based on the limit of the cutting of the fishing line, the limit of the fishing operation, etc.

[0008]

[MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] To achieve the above object

Things. The operation and effect are as follows.

[0009]

When the above feature is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, for example, the sensor 5 provided on the fishing rod determines the tension of the fishing line 1 at the time of actual fishing, and when the tension reaches a predetermined value, the control device 8 operates the notification means A intermittently at relatively long intervals, and thereafter, as the value of the tension increases and approaches the set value, the operation form changing means B shortens the interval of the intermittent operation, and This allows the person to recognize that the tension of the fishing line 1 has reached the limit.

That is, in the present invention, the fishing rod is provided with the sensor 5 in the same manner as in the prior art so that the tension of the fishing line 1 can be measured, but when the tension acting on the fishing line 1 reaches a predetermined value. The notifying means A is not simply actuated, but the form of operation changes as the tension acting on the fishing line 1 approaches a preset value. Can easily recognize that the cutting strength approaches the cutting strength of the fishing line 1 or approach the value of the cutout of the fish, and can adjust the tension.

[0011]

Thus, the conventional good surface of the present invention is obtained in which the tension acting on the fishing line is obtained through the sensor provided at the fishing rod portion, and the operation for preventing the fishing line from being cut off can be performed. Thus, a fishing rod capable of accurately grasping the degree of the operation of the rod based on the limit of the cutting of the fishing line, the limit of the fishing operation, and the like was rationally configured.

In particular, when the value obtained by the sensor is stored in the storage means and used as the set value, control based on the actual and accurate strength of the fishing line becomes possible.
If the sensor is configured to obtain the pressure between the fishing rod and the angler's hand, there is an effect that the rigidity of the fishing rod is high and a delicate tension can be accurately obtained even with a rod that is not significantly deformed.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an ayu rod, which is provided with a plurality of intermediate rods 4 ‥ between a head rod 2 to which a fishing line 1 is tied and a former rod 3 at hand. An annular pressure sensor 5 for measuring the pressure acting between the former rod 3 and the angler's hand is provided, and the tension acting on the fishing line 1 is determined based on a signal from the pressure sensor 5 to determine the tension. The notifying means A is activated based on the result, so that the cutting of the fishing line 1 and the fish burr can be prevented.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a control device 8 comprising a microprocessor for a substrate 7 inside a tail plug portion 6 screwed to the rear end of the main rod 3, and E E PRO as storage means.
A memory 9 of an M type or the like, a tilt sensor 10 for determining the tilt of the rod,
Buzzer 11 and drive battery 12 as notification means A
In addition to being provided with each, a set switch 13, a reset switch 14, a human power switch 15, a liquid crystal display device 16, and a light emitting diode 17 as a notification means A are provided.

The butt plug 6 is screwed on and off from the rear end of the original rod 3, and pressure is applied to partitions 18, 18 formed between the butt plug 6 and the original rod 3. A signal cable 19 from the sensor 5 is inserted, and this insertion portion is sealed with a resin or the like that prevents water from entering the inside of the tail plug portion 6. As shown in FIG. 4, the tail plug 6 is provided with a lid 6A so as to be openable and closable. do it,
Erroneous operation of switches is suppressed, and a lens 20 for enlarging the display content of the liquid crystal display 16 is provided at this portion.
And this control system operates as follows.

That is, when the control is started by a predetermined operation, as shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not data is input by the input switch 15, and if there is an input, the value is set to DA.
Set to TA (Step # 100 to Step # 300). The input of this data is the cutting strength of the fishing line 1,
Alternatively, when the value of the tension causing the burr is accurately grasped at the time of the awase operation, the value is artificially input and stored (set) in the memory 9. The input value is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16.

Next, a signal from the pressure sensor 5 is input,
The signal is corrected, and the correction value is compared with the DATA value (steps # 400 to # 600). By this comparison, the signal from the pressure sensor 5 is DA
When it is determined that the TA value is reached, the buzzer 11,
The notification operation by driving the light emitting diode 17 is performed so that the angler can recognize that the tension of the fishing line 1 has reached the cutting limit or has reached the limit value of the fishing operation (step # 700). , # 800 steps).

In this control system, the tension of the fishing line 1 when a cut occurs and the fishing line 1 when a burr occurs during an abrasion operation are performed by the step of storing the peak value instead of the above-described manual input. The configuration is such that the tension can be input and stored in the memory 9 simply by turning on the set switch, and such processing is repeated until the reset switch 14 is operated (# 900 step, # 1000 steps).

As shown in FIG. 7, the correction processing routine corrects the signal value of the pressure sensor 5 to correct the tension applied to the fishing line 1 to an accurate value based on the attitude of the rod. In this processing, a signal from the pressure sensor 5 is input so as to correct the pressure caused by the weight of the rod when the rod is approached to the horizontal posture and the pressure change caused by the angle change of the fishing line 1 when the rod is pulled. Thereafter, a preset parameter is selected based on a signal from the tilt sensor 10, and a correction value is obtained by an arithmetic processing based on the parameter and the safety coefficient (steps # 501 to # 50).
4 steps).

As shown in FIG. 8, the notification operation routine calculates the absolute value of the difference between the correction value and DATA by calculation, and the smaller the value of the calculation result, the higher the duty cycle percentage. , The output pattern of the intermittent signal is set, and after this setting, the buzzer 1
1, and an operation is set to drive the light emitting diode 17 (steps # 601 to # 603). Of these operations, steps # 601 and # 602 are collectively referred to as an operation mode changing unit B. The duty cycle is, as shown in FIG. 10, a ratio between the ON time and the OFF time when the buzzer 11 and the light emitting diode 17 are intermittently driven. In this control, the value measured by the sensor 5 is: Values (set values) set in the memory 9
As the distance approaches (increases), the signal form is changed in a direction in which the interval of the intermittent signal is reduced, thereby attracting the angler's attention.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the peak storage routine, the set switch 13 is turned on when the fishing line 1 is cut as described above or when the fishing line 1 is broken during operation.
By simply operating the pressure sensor 5, the maximum time value of the tension of the fishing line 1 at the time of cutting can be stored (set) in the memory 9.
The signal value is compared with the stored data held in a register or the like, and when it is determined that the signal value is larger than the stored data, this signal is newly stored data instead of the stored data. When the set switch 13 is turned on, the stored data is stored in the DA.
After being held in the memory 9 as the TA, the notification operation is performed based on the value of the DATA (steps # 901 to # 906).

[Alternative Embodiment] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
For example, the operation mode changing means is not configured by software,
It can be constituted by a hard circuit by assembling a logic gate, a comparator, etc., and can be applied to a fishing rod having a structure using a reel such as a fishing rod or a shore rod. As described above, in a fishing rod using a reel, the sensor can be configured to contact the fishing line to directly measure the tension of the fishing line.

Further, in the present invention, when the notification means is configured to generate a sound like a buzzer, it is possible to configure the operation mode changing means so as to change a pitch at the time of operation. Further, it is also possible to set the breaking strength of the fishing rod in advance together with the above-described notification operation, and to perform the notification operation when an external force having this breaking strength acts on the fishing rod.

In the present invention, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 4, a cover 20 made of a transparent resin or the like is provided so that the surface on which the switches and the liquid crystal display 16 are arranged is smoothly connected to the outer periphery of the buttocks 3. It is also possible to improve the feel.
