Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel provided with a transmission.

  The double-bearing reel, which is a fishing reel, has a transmission that switches the winding drive speed by rotating the handle between the low-speed driving state and the high-speed driving state so that different winding speeds can be selected when winding the handle. Some are built in. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a dual-bearing type configured to transmit power using either a low-speed drive gear or a high-speed drive gear attached to the handle shaft as a drive path by moving the handle shaft in the axial direction. A reel is disclosed.

The transmission disclosed in Patent Document 1 is driven from a high-speed driving state to a low-speed driving state by pushing the handle inward in the axial direction on the reel body side while pressing a switching member (push button) provided at the end of the handle shaft. It is configured to shift from a low speed driving state to a high speed driving state by pulling the handle outward in the axial direction while pressing the push button.

  As described above, when shifting from the high speed driving state to the low speed driving state, the handle is moved inward in the axial direction while pressing the push button, so the push direction of the push button and the operation direction of the handle are the same direction, Switching operation can be easily performed.

  However, when shifting from the low-speed driving state to the high-speed driving state, it is necessary to operate to pull out the handle while pressing the push button, and the operation direction of the push button and the handle is reversed. For this reason, there is a problem that the speed change operability from the low speed drive state to the high speed drive state is poor and the speed of the switching operation is inferior.

  The present invention has been made based on the above-described problem, and in a fishing reel incorporating a transmission that can switch between a low-speed driving state and a high-speed driving state by an axial movement operation of a handle, the fishing reel is in a low-speed driving state. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel capable of easily and quickly switching between a high-speed driving state and a high-speed driving state.

In order to achieve the above-described object, a fishing reel according to the present invention includes a low-speed gear and a high-speed gear that rotate a spool rotatably supported by the reel body, and a rotatable and axial direction of the reel body. A handle shaft mounted on the handle shaft, and a low-speed drive gear and a high-speed drive gear which are provided on the handle shaft and mesh with the low-speed gear and the high-speed gear, respectively, and the handle shaft in the axial direction. When moving to the position, the locking means for positioning and locking any of the above-mentioned meshing relations, and provided in the handle shaft, the positioning by the locking means is released by pressing the reel body side, and the above a and a selectively switches switching member one of meshing relations, said handle shaft, and a biasing means for constantly biased in a direction opposite to the pressing direction of the switching member, said handle Is when the pressing operation the switching member, with the engagement relationship is released by said locking means is moved by the biasing force of the biasing means, it is locked positioned engaged to one of the meshing relationship described above It is characterized by.

  According to the above configuration, when switching the low-speed driving state and the high-speed driving state of the spool, the handle shaft is moved in the axial direction while pressing the switching member. By pressing this switching member, the engagement state of the low-speed gear and the low-speed drive gear by the locking means is released (low-speed drive state), and the high-speed gear and the high-speed drive gear are engaged. Switching to (high-speed driving state) or, conversely, releasing the high-speed driving state and switching to the low-speed driving state. In the pressing operation of the switching member and the accompanying movement operation in the axial direction of the handle, the handle shaft is constantly biased in the direction opposite to the pressing direction of the switching member by the biasing means. It is not necessary to pull out the handle while pressing the switching member. In other words, the drive state can be switched without operating the switching member and the handle in opposite directions.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to switch between the low-speed driving state and the high-speed driving state by simply pressing the handle in the same direction while pressing the switching member, or by pressing the switching member. A fishing reel capable of easily and quickly switching between the low-speed driving state and the high-speed driving state is obtained.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a fishing reel according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The figure which shows the state which pressed the switching member, FIG. 3 is the figure which shows the state in the middle of switching to a high-speed drive state, and FIG. 4 is the figure which shows the state switched to the high-speed drive state.

  A reel body 1 of a fishing reel (double-bearing type reel) according to the present invention includes a reel frame 2 integrated via a support, and left and right sides mounted with a predetermined space on both sides of the reel frame. Side plates 3a and 3b are provided. Reel legs 4 attached to a reel seat of a fishing rod are attached to a support 2 a provided below the reel frame 2.

  A spool shaft 6 is rotatably supported between the left and right side plates 3a and 3b via bearings 5a and 5b. A spool 8 around which a fishing line is wound is attached to the spool shaft 6. In this case, the bearings 5a and 5b may be disposed on the reel frame portion, or may be disposed on the side plate portion as shown in FIG. Further, rolling bearings 10a and 10b are disposed between the spool shaft 6 and the spool 8 at both ends thereof, and the spool 8 is supported so as to be freely rotatable with respect to the spool shaft 6. Yes.

  Although not described in detail, a known drag mechanism 50 is provided between the spool shaft 6 and the spool 8 to apply a braking force when the fishing line is drawn out from the spool 8. . The drag mechanism 50 rotates the adjusting member 55 disposed on the right side plate 3b side to apply a desired pressing force to the end surface of the spool 8 that freely rotates with respect to the spool shaft 6, thereby allowing the spool to move. It is comprised so that braking may be provided to rotation.

  The spool shaft 6 is provided with pinions 6a and 6b having different diameters adjacent to each other. In this case, the large-diameter pinion (low-speed gear) 6a is installed on the spool side (the back side in the pressing direction), and the small-diameter pinion (high-speed gear) 6b is on the handle side (the front side in the pressing direction) described later. The two pinions 6 a and 6 b are integrated and fixed so as to rotate integrally with the spool shaft 6. The arrangement of the low speed gear 6a and the high speed gear 6b may be reversed.

  Further, a handle shaft support hole 3d is formed on the right side plate 3b side, and the handle shaft 12 is supported through a bearing 12a so as to be rotatable and movable in the axial direction. A handle 15 is attached to the protruding end portion of the handle shaft 12 from the right side plate, and the handle shaft 12 is formed with a recess 13 extending in the axial direction from the handle side to the reel body side. ing. A low-speed drive gear 16a and a high-speed drive gear 16b are disposed on the handle shaft 12 so as to mesh with the pinions 6a and 6b. Power transmission by these meshing relationships is transmitted by the transmission device 20. Either one is selected.

  In this case, when the transmission 20 moves the handle shaft 12 in the axial direction, the transmission 20 is engaged in two positions, that is, the meshing of the low speed gear 6a and the low speed driving gear 16a, or the meshing of the high speed gear 6b and the high speed driving gear 16b. A locking means for selecting and locking the positioning is provided.

  The locking means is, for example, a recess 21 formed adjacent to the inner surface of the handle shaft support hole 3d of the right side plate 3b along the axial direction so as to position the handle shaft 12 at two locations along the axial direction. (First position) and a recess 22 (second position). In the recesses 21 and 22, an engagement body 24 (ball) disposed in a hole 23 formed in the handle shaft 12 is selectively positioned. When the engagement body 24 is positioned in the recess 21, the meshing relationship between the low speed gear 6 a and the low speed drive gear 16 a is selected, and when the engagement body 24 is positioned in the recess 22, The meshing relationship between the high speed gear 6b and the high speed driving gear 16b is selected.

  In the recess 13 formed in the handle shaft 12, a push rod (switching member) 25 for selectively switching any of the above-described meshing relationships is installed so as to be movable in the axial direction. A push operation portion (push button) 25a is formed on the distal end side of the push rod 25 so as to protrude from the handle shaft 12, and this push operation portion 25a protrudes outward from the handle arm 15a of the handle 15 and is recessed. In this state, the backlash in the radial direction is prevented by the closing member 26 installed at the opening of the place 13. The closing member 26 projects against the surface side of the handle arm 15a and has a function of preventing the handle 15 from coming off.

  A biasing spring 27 is provided at the base end portion of the push rod 25 between the bottom surface of the recess 13 so as to bias the push rod in a protruding direction. In addition, the push rod 25 is gradually expanded toward the reel body so that the engaging body 24 can be retracted into the recess 13 of the handle shaft 12 when the push rod 25 is pressed by the pressing operation portion 25a. An inclined surface 25b having a diameter is formed. The inclined surface 25b has a function of pushing up the engagement body 24 in the radial direction and locking it to either the concave portion 21 or the concave portion 22 when the push rod 25 returns to the initial position by the biasing force of the biasing spring 27. .

  On the proximal end side of the handle shaft 12, an engagement protrusion 30 is provided at a position having a predetermined length from the end face so as to be integrally rotatable. When the handle shaft 12 is moved in the axial direction and positioned at one of the two positions, the engagement protrusion 30 is formed in the central region of the opposing surface of the low-speed drive gear 16a and the high-speed drive gear 16b. It fits in the formed fitting recesses 31 and 32.

  That is, when the handle shaft 12 is moved to the spool side in the axial direction and the engaging body 24 is positioned and locked in the recess 21 (see FIG. 1), the engaging protrusion 30 is fitted with the low-speed drive gear 16a. The rotational driving force when the handle 15 is rotated by being fitted in the recess 31 is transmitted from the low speed driving gear 16a to the low speed gear 6a, and the spool 8 is rotationally driven at a low speed. When the handle shaft 12 is moved outward in the axial direction and the engagement body 24 is positioned and locked in the recess 22 (see FIG. 4), the engagement protrusion 30 is fitted with the high-speed drive gear 16b. The rotational driving force when the handle 15 is rotated by being fitted in the fitting recess 32 is transmitted from the high speed driving gear 16b to the high speed gear 6b, and the spool 8 is rotationally driven at a high speed.

  The handle shaft 12 is always urged by the urging means in the direction opposite to the pressing direction of the push rod 25 (axially outward). The biasing means of the present embodiment has a step portion 3e formed in the handle shaft support hole 3d of the right side plate 3b which is the reel body, and is disposed between the step portion 3e and the back surface of the handle arm 15a. The pressing spring 35 is configured. Actually, since the handle shaft 12 is moved in the axial direction, the cover shaft 15b is attached between the cover member 15b attached to the back surface of the handle arm 15a and the step portion 3e so as to cover the exposed state of the handle shaft 12. Intervened.

  Further, in such a configuration, when the handle 15 is rotated, the rotation performance is not deteriorated and wear or the like does not occur, and between the step portion 3e and the pressing spring 35 and between the pressing spring 35 and the cover member 15b. It is preferable to interpose a lubricating washer 37 between the two.

The operation of the fishing reel incorporating the above-described transmission 20 will be described.
When the spool is switched from the low speed driving state shown in FIG. 1 to the high speed driving state, the pressing operation portion 25 a of the push rod 25 is pressed against the biasing force of the biasing spring 27. By the pressing operation of the push rod 25, the inclined surface 25 b of the push rod 25 moves to the spool side, and the engaging body 24 that is positioned and locked in the recess 21 is retracted into the recess 13 of the handle shaft 12. As a result, the engagement relationship between the handle shaft 12 and the right side plate 3b is released, and the handle shaft 12 becomes free in the axial direction.

  As described above, since the handle shaft 12 is constantly biased toward the protruding side by the pressing spring 35 that is a biasing means, the handle shaft 12 does not perform an operation of pulling out the handle 15. As shown in FIG. 3, it is pushed outward in the axial direction by the urging force of the pressing spring 35. At this time, since the push rod 25 is urged outward by the urging force of the urging spring 27, a force directed radially outward by the inclined surface 25b acts on the engaging body 24. ing. Therefore, when the handle shaft 12 is pushed out by the urging force of the pressing spring 35 and the engagement body 24 moves to the position of the recess 22, the engagement body 24 moves radially outward along the inclined surface 25 b and engages with the recess 22. Accordingly, the handle shaft 12 is positioned and locked (see FIG. 4). In this state, the engaging protrusion 30 is fitted in the fitting recess 32 of the high-speed drive gear 16b, so that the rotational driving force when the handle 15 is rotated is from the high-speed drive gear 16b. The spool 8 is driven to rotate at a high speed by being transmitted to the high speed gear 6b. That is, when switching from the low speed driving state to the high speed driving state, the handle shaft 12 is automatically moved from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the state shown in FIG. 4 simply by pressing the push rod 25.

  4 is switched from the high-speed driving state to the low-speed driving state by pressing the push rod 25 and pressing the handle shaft 12 (handle 15) in the same direction. It becomes possible to switch to the state.

  According to the fishing reel incorporating the transmission 20 having the above-described configuration, the handle shaft 12 is always urged outward in the axial direction opposite to the pressing direction of the push rod 25, so that the push rod 25 is simply urged. Simply by releasing the positioning lock of the handle shaft 12, the handle shaft 12 is moved outward in the axial direction by the urging force of the pressing spring 35, and the speed change is possible. That is, it is not necessary to pull out the handle shaft 12 in the opposite direction while pressing the push rod 25 as in the conventional case, and the operability is good and quick switching operation corresponding to the actual fishing situation is possible. become.

  In the above-described configuration, the biasing means (pressing spring 35) for biasing the handle shaft 12 includes the step 3e formed on the right side plate 3b that is the reel body 1, the handle (the back surface of the handle arm 15a), and Therefore, the assembling work of the transmission 20 can be easily performed, and the maintenance work of the urging means can be easily performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the urging means described above includes an urging spring 45, a base end portion of the handle shaft 12, and a support plate (for example, integrated with the reel frame 2) provided on the reel body. The handle shaft 12 may be directly pressed and urged in the axial direction at the central axis portion.

  As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited as long as the handle shaft is biased in the direction opposite to the operation direction of the switching member that switches between the low speed driving state and the high speed driving state. The arrangement location and configuration of the biasing means and the configuration of the locking means for positioning and locking the switching state can be appropriately modified.
