Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing line which is disposed between left and right frame portions, and which is unreeled from the spool when a clutch mechanism is in a disengaged state. And a control device for stopping the rotation of the spool by actuating the stopping means by driving the actuator when it is determined by this measurement that the payout amount of the fishing line has reached a predetermined value. The present invention relates to a fishing reel comprising: 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a fishing reel constructed as described above, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-150228. In this conventional example, a clutch mechanism is engaged and disengaged by sliding operation. A clutch switching plate is provided for biasing the clutch sliding plate toward the clutch engagement side and engaging and holding the clutch sliding plate at the clutch off position.
Further, by linking this clutch switching plate and a solenoid for operating the clutch switching plate in the disengagement direction via a cam plate, when it is determined that the fishing line has been fed by a predetermined amount, the solenoid is driven. , The clutch sliding plate is disengaged and the clutch mechanism is engaged and operated. [0003] As described above, the clutch mechanism is engaged and operated based on the fishing line payout amount.
The mechanism that prevents the extension of fishing line is called an automatic shelf stop mechanism.Conventionally, with this type of automatic shelf stop mechanism, when the work reaches the depth of the shelf, the purpose is to stop the delivery of the fishing line as quickly and reliably as possible. A relatively large-capacity and large-sized electromagnetic solenoid is arranged near the clutch operation system. However, the conventional reel has a large number of components of the automatic shelf stop mechanism and has a complicated control system, so that it is easy to cause an increase in size. If a large-capacity, large-sized actuator is provided near the clutch operation system, the size of the case that covers the clutch operation system must be made to protrude outward. .
It should be noted that when the size of the reel is increased, it becomes difficult to grip the reel, not only the operability of the reel is deteriorated, but also the storage space is increased. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to rationally configure a fishing reel capable of quickly and reliably stopping an automatic shelf using a large-capacity actuator without increasing the size of the fishing reel. [0004] The features of the fishing reel of the present invention are, as described at the beginning, the left and right frame portions (1),
A spool (5) for winding the fishing line (4) is arranged between (1) and a sensor (18) for detecting an amount of the fishing line (4) fed from the spool (5) in a disengaged state of the clutch mechanism (C). And when it is determined by this measurement that the feed amount of the fishing line (4) has reached a predetermined value, the actuator (40) drives the stop means to drive the spool (5). a fishing reel comprising a control device (16) to stop the rotation, the
Thumb rest (6) between left and right frame parts (1), (1)
And a pair of forks (32B, 32B), and swingable around a shaft (35) in a posture parallel to the axis of the spool (5). It has a clutch plate (32) that is slidable in a direction perpendicular to the axis and is urged in the clutch engagement direction by a spring (36), and is provided between the left and right frame portions (1) and (1). The clutch plate (32), which is disposed and drives the clutch mechanism (C), is engaged and held at a clutch release position, and when the predetermined value is reached.
With the urging force of the spring (36), the clutch plate (3
2) The actuator (40) for operating the clutch at the position where the clutch is engaged is arranged, and the operation and effect thereof are as follows. When the above feature is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, for example, when the amount of the fishing line 4 delivered from the spool 5 reaches a predetermined value in the disengaged state of the clutch mechanism C as in the prior art. An automatic shelf stop mechanism is configured to prevent the payout of the fishing line 4 from the spool 5 by operating the clutch mechanism C (an example of a stopping means) by driving the actuator 40. In this mechanism, the left and right frame portions are used. The actuator 40 is located at the position of the thumb rest 6 between
Is arranged, the case 1B on this side does not need to be formed in a shape protruding outward as compared with the case where the actuator 40 is arranged near the clutch operation system, and this case 1B is more compact than before. It is also possible to make the shape different. In addition, since the space between the left and right frame portions 1 and 1 does not include members that are close to each other in the vertical direction or the front and rear direction, it is possible to secure a large arrangement space in these directions. Even with the provision of a very large actuator 40, the size of the reel is rarely increased. As a result, a fishing reel which can quickly and reliably stop the shelf automatically using a large-capacity actuator can be rationally constructed without increasing the size. In particular, in the present invention, it is possible to incorporate an actuator in the thumb rest formed in a connected state across the left and right frame portions, and in this case, the stopping means is also used by the clutch mechanism as described above. Even if you do
There is also an effect that the space between the actuator and the clutch operation system can be sealed to provide excellent waterproofness and dustproofness. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a level wind mechanism provided with a line guide 3 that is reciprocally driven in the left-right direction by the rotation of the screw shaft 2, and a fishing line 4 is wound between the left and right frame portions 1, 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the sensor 18 is engaged with a gear 5A integrally formed with the spool 5 and rotates with a wheel 19 that rotates.
The rotation of the spool 5 is counted by the action of the magnetism of the magnet 20 provided in the above. In this reel, a control system is configured as shown in FIG. 7, and when the fishing line 4 is paid out from the spool 5, the rotation amount of the spool 5 is grasped by the sensor 18, and the rotation amount and the memory and the like are stored in advance. The processing system is configured to determine the amount of the fishing line 4 to be paid out from the spool 5 based on the held data and output the calculated amount to the liquid crystal display 17 (the processing system is not described in detail). In this reel, the electric motor 11
In the control case 10, a DC power supplied to the electric reel is converted into a three-phase AC and supplied to the electric motor 11, and its frequency can be changed. A built-in inverter 21 is constructed, and the inverter 21 is configured to change the frequency by operating the speed change switch 14 so that the winding speed of the fishing line can be adjusted steplessly. An intermediate gear 23 is provided between a gear 22 that rotates integrally with the spool 5 and an input gear 2A of the screw shaft 2, and a clutch mechanism C is provided that includes a clutch sleeve 24 that is detachable from a member that rotates integrally with the spool 5. Constitute
A handle shaft 25 connected to the handle 7 is provided with a drag mechanism 26 and a ratchet wheel 27. An output gear 26A of the drag mechanism 26 is engaged with an input gear 24A of the clutch sleeve 24. The reverse rotation of the handle shaft 25 is prevented by engagement with the stopper 28 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, a yoke 29 for engaging and supporting the clutch sleeve 24 is connected to a pair of support shafts 30,
30 and can be slidably moved along with springs 31, 31

Further, an engaging portion 37 is formed on the clutch plate 32, and an engaging piece 38 detachable from the engaging portion 37 is urged in a projecting direction by a spring 39 in a direction parallel to the spool axis. And an electromagnetic solenoid 40 as an actuator
And the plunger 40A. As shown in FIG. 7, a system for inputting signals from the sensor 18 and the control switch 15 to the control device 16 is formed, and an output system for the liquid crystal display 17 and an inverter 21 for the electric motor 11 are provided. An output system for controlling and a system for supplying power to the electromagnetic solenoid 40 via the switching element 41 are provided. This reel constitutes an automatic shelf stop mechanism using the clutch mechanism C as a stop means. When the reeling out of the fishing line 4 is stopped by this mechanism, the clutch mechanism C is turned off as shown in FIG. When the posture of the clutch plate 32 around the shaft 35 changes due to the urging force of the spring 36, the engaging portion 37 and the engaging piece 38 reach the engaged state, and the clutch mechanism C is held in the disengaged state. , The spool 5 is set in a freely rotatable state. At the time of the disengagement operation of the clutch mechanism C, as the engaging portion 37 moves, the engaging portion 37 comes into contact with the inclined surface 38A formed at the end of the engaging piece 38, so that the engaging piece 38 is spring-loaded. The clutch plate 32 is allowed to move by a pushing operation against the urging force of the spring 39, and after this movement, the engaging piece 38 is protruded by the urging force of the spring 39 and comes into contact with the edge of the engaging portion 37. The clutch plate 23 is held at the clutch disengaged position. Next, by lowering the device into the sea,
When the device reaches a predetermined depth (shelf), the electromagnetic solenoid 4

The feeding operation of the fishing line 4 is stopped by the restoring operation to the entering state. When the handle 7 is rotated in the manner of winding the fishing line while the clutch mechanism C is disengaged, the pin 42 formed on the ratchet wheel 27 comes into contact with the fork portion 32B on the upper side of the clutch plate 32. As a result, the clutch plate 32 is swung around the shaft 35 so that the fork portion 32A is lifted upward, so that the engagement piece 38 is disengaged from the engagement portion 37 and the clutch plate 3
2 is operated in the clutch engagement direction. [Alternative Embodiment] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
