Description

  The present invention relates to a fish collection apparatus, and more particularly to a fish collection apparatus that collects seafood using the property of emitting light in water and collecting light.

Conventionally, for the purpose of collecting fish when fishing, so-called “komase” firewood baits such as nets and sardine mince are sometimes used.
However, such fire baits pollute the surroundings of the coral and quay and bring an unpleasant environment to the surroundings, so that there is a tendency to refrain from using them at present when protection of the natural environment is screamed. Moreover, in recent years, the area that prohibits the use of firewood is increasing.

On the other hand, it has been conventionally known that certain fish species such as riverfish and scorpion have a property of gathering in light (phototaxis), and various fishing gears that emit light using this property have been proposed.
For example, the above-mentioned small-diameter portion of a weight member integrally provided with a small-diameter portion in a main body formed as a large-diameter portion is mounted in the above-described through-hole in a light-emitting member in which a through hole is provided in the center and a slit is formed in the side Thus, there is a weight in which the weight member and the light emitting member are integrated (see Patent Document 1).
There is also a fishing tackle for fish collection comprising a transparent container, a battery and a blue light emitting diode housed in the container (see Patent Document 2).
Furthermore, there is a light emitting fishing tackle that includes a control unit that changes the color of the light emitting unit according to a preset color developing program when configuring a light emitting fishing tool that includes a light emitting unit and a power supply unit that emits light from the light emitting unit (see Patent Document 3). .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing an example of the fish collecting apparatus of the present invention. The fish collecting apparatus 1 of the present embodiment has a basic configuration in which the light emitting means 2 and the power supply unit 3 that supplies power to the light emitting means 2 are housed in the casing 10, and a plurality of light emitting units 6 that constitute the light emitting means 2 are provided. Thus, the light emitting unit 6 is controlled to blink sequentially.

The light emitting means 2 includes at least a plurality of light emitting units 6 and a control unit 7 that sequentially blinks the plurality of light emitting units 6.
In the case of this embodiment, the light emitting unit 6 can select, for example, a light emitting diode (LED) that is an optical semiconductor that emits light when an electric current is passed. By adopting a light emitting diode as the light emitting unit 6, it is possible to perform lighting with high luminance. There are red, blue, green, yellow, white and the like as the emission colors of the light emitting diodes. It is desirable to prepare a fish collecting device using light emitting diodes of each light emitting color so that the light emitting color can be appropriately selected and used according to sea conditions, tide, time, fish activity, and the like.
Further, in the fish collecting apparatus 1 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the light emitting unit 6 has a structure in which it is exposed and arranged so as to protrude from the surface of the horizontal peripheral body portion of the casing 10. The structure is not limited to such a structure as long as light emission is sufficiently diffused to the surroundings. Therefore, for example, the casing 10 may be formed of a transparent or translucent member so that the light emitted from the light emitting unit 6 can diffuse to the surroundings.

The control for sequentially blinking the plurality of light emitting units 6 includes, for example, a first circuit 8 that generates and outputs a clock signal by energization, and a light emitting unit 6 that operates by receiving the output clock signal and changing a count value. This can be achieved by the control unit 7 having the second circuit 9 that sequentially controls.
In the case of the present embodiment, for example, an oscillator circuit (OSC) can be selected as the first circuit 8. The oscillator circuit 8 generates a clock signal that measures the timing that serves as a reference for the operation inside. Then, the generated clock signal is output to the second circuit 9.
In the case of the present embodiment, for example, a step circuit can be selected as the second circuit 9. The step circuit 9 is a so-called decode counter, and controls the light emitting unit 6 to be switched by changing (stepping) the count value every time the clock signal output from the oscillator circuit 8 is received. As a method of controlling the light emitting unit 6, it is conceivable that the plurality of light emitting units 6 sequentially and regularly blinks or irregularly blinks. Even so, the desired effect can be obtained sufficiently.

  Further, the light emitting means 2 has a structure that operates when the two electrodes 4 and 5 disposed on the surface of the casing 10 so as to be exposed at a predetermined interval are energized. As a result, when the fish collecting apparatus 1 is thrown into the water, water is interposed between the two electrodes 4 and 5 and this is detected, and when the electrodes 4 and 5 are in a conductive state, the light emitting unit 6 is Operate. When the fish collecting device 1 is pulled up from the water, the two electrodes 4 and 5 are not energized and light emission stops.

  The casing 10 is formed, for example, in a hollow spindle shape as a whole, and a cylindrical protective frame body 14 is disposed therein. The protective frame body 14 is made of, for example, a hollow tube made of vinyl chloride resin, and controls the power supply unit 3, the light emitting unit 6 that emits light using the power supply unit 3 as a light emitting energy source, and the light emission of the light emitting unit 6. By storing the control unit 7 to be performed, these can be protected from impacts from the surroundings. The protective frame 14 is formed with an insertion hole 16 for exposing the light emitting part 6 to the outside, and the tip side of the light emitting part 6 protrudes from the surface of the casing 10 through the hole 16. ing. In addition, around the circuit of the control unit 7 and the like housed in the inside 14a of the protective frame 14, a filler for eliminating a gap portion, for example, in order to more effectively protect the control unit 7 and the like from an impact, etc. A synthetic resin such as an epoxy resin is filled.

  The power supply unit 3 is made of, for example, a lithium battery, and the periphery is covered with a sealing material 13 having non-asbestos electrical insulation. The light emitting unit 6 using a light emitting diode can emit light with higher luminance even when a small power source such as a lithium battery is used as the power source unit 3, so that efficient fish collection is possible. Specifically, in the case of this embodiment, two 3V lithium batteries are bonded together to form the power supply unit 3, thereby obtaining a high brightness of 2000 mcd.

  In addition, the plurality of light emitting units 6 described above may be arranged at predetermined intervals in the horizontal circumferential body of the casing 10. The number of light emitting units 6 is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 3 to 6. In this way, by arranging a plurality of light emitting units 6 on the horizontal peripheral body portion of the casing 10 and sequentially flashing the light emitting units 6, continuous light emission moves around like a living creature, which attracts fish's interest. It will be attached.

In addition, the casing 10 is provided with a hook 12 to which a teg or the like is tied to the top portion 10a, and a weight 11 is attached to the bottom portion 10b of the casing 10 with an insulator 15 interposed therebetween. The hook 12 has a shape that extends downward along the longitudinal section of the casing 10, and has a structure in which a lower end portion 12 a protrudes downward from the bottom portion 10 b of the casing 10. When the weight 11 is entangled with the protruding lower end portion 12 a of the hook 12, the weight 11 is not detached from the casing 10. In this embodiment, the hook 12 is formed in an endless annular shape. If the hook 12 is attached so as to lock a part of the weight 11, the hook 11 can be firmly attached so that the weight 11 does not detach without darkness. . The weight of the weight 11 can be about 80 to 700 g, for example, and is properly used depending on the fish type. In this way, by arranging the weight 11 on the bottom 10b of the casing 10, the fish collecting apparatus 1 can be attached integrally with the normally used pure weight 11 without interfering with the mechanism.
In the present embodiment, the insulator 15 is provided between the casing 10 and the weight 11, but the insulator 15 is necessary when the weight 11 is a conductor. It is not always necessary if it is not a conductor.

The casing 10 is provided with a waterproof coating such as an epoxy resin. Thereby, waterproofness is improved and water does not enter the inside of the casing 10 during charging into the water and the electric circuit is not short-circuited.
Furthermore, you may make it comprise the casing 10 so that decomposition | disassembly is possible. As a result, the lithium battery as the power supply unit 3 can be replaced.

Next, an example of the electrical structure of the fish collecting apparatus 1 shown in this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing an example of the structure of the fish collecting apparatus. The fish collecting apparatus 1 has a power supply unit in which two lithium batteries are connected in series, and has two electrodes 4 and 5 connected to the power supply unit. The electrodes 4 and 5 are connected to the collector and base of a transistor that constitutes an automatic switch together with the electrodes 4 and 5, and seawater or the like is interposed between the electrodes 4 and 5 so that a current flows between the electrodes 4 and 5. , The transistors are connected to turn on. When the automatic switch constituted by the transistor is turned on, power is supplied to the oscillator circuit 8 and the stepping circuit 9, and the oscillator circuit 8 and the stepping circuit 9 operate. The three step output terminals of the step circuit 9 are connected to the bases of the transistors that perform switching operation, and are configured to control these transistors on and off. Each transistor is configured to turn on / off the power supply circuit to each light emitting diode, and when one transistor is turned on, the corresponding light emitting unit 6 including the light emitting diode emits light. Has been. In addition, the circuit diagram shown in FIG. 2 shows the fish collecting apparatus 1 when three light emitting units 6 are arranged.

  When the fish collector 1 having such a structure is inserted into the sea or the like, the electrodes 4 and 5 are energized so that the switch is automatically turned on, and power is supplied to the oscillator circuit 8 and the step circuit 9. Then, a clock signal is sequentially output from the oscillator circuit 8 at a predetermined timing and sent to the stepping circuit 9. The stepping circuit 9 receives the transmitted clock signal, changes (steps) the count value, and performs the operation of the light emitting unit 6 according to the count value.

In this embodiment, every time the stepping circuit 9 receives a clock signal, the count value is switched so as to regularly circulate. That is, when the first clock signal is received, the count value is set to 1. When the next clock signal is received, the count value is incremented to 2. When the next clock signal is received, the increment is incremented to the count value 3. When the clock signal is received, it advances and returns to the count value 1 again, and thereafter the count value is switched similarly.
Therefore, for example, the light emitting unit 6 operates as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a bottom view for sequentially explaining the blinking operation of the light emitting unit. First, when the electrodes 4 and 5 are energized and the switch is turned on, a clock signal is output from the oscillator circuit 8, and the first light emission is performed as the output circuit 9 receives the output clock signal. The part 6a lights up (see (a)). Next, when the step circuit 9 receives the clock signal from the oscillator circuit 8 again, the count value is incremented, the first light emitting unit 6a is turned off, and the second light emitting unit 6b is turned on ((b)). reference). Further, when the step circuit 9 receives the clock signal from the oscillator circuit 8 again, the count value is incremented, the second light emitting unit 6b is turned off, and the third light emitting unit 6c is turned on ((c)). reference). Thereafter, similarly, the stepping circuit 9 receives the clock signal from the oscillator circuit 8, switches the light emitting unit 6 to be operated by changing the count value, turns off the third light emitting unit 6c, and again performs the first light emission. The operation of turning on the unit 6a (see (a)) is repeated.
In the present embodiment, the case where there are three light emitting units 6 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more light emitting units 6 may be provided. By connecting the light emitting unit 6 so as to operate, the light emitting unit 6 can be operated to emit light sequentially in the same manner as the above operation. Moreover, in this invention, it is not limited to such regular operation | movement of the light emission part 6, A light emission part which changes a counting method so that the light emission part 6 blinks irregularly, or operate | moves according to a count value The position and number of 6 may be changed.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fish collecting apparatus 1 configured as described above is connected to a fishing line suspended from a fishing rod and immersed in the sea. Then, the two electrodes 4 and 5 arranged so as to be exposed from the casing 10 of the fish collecting apparatus 1 detect water, turn on the automatic switch composed of the above-mentioned transistor, and supply power to each circuit. The operation is controlled so that the plurality of light emitting units 6 that are operated are sequentially blinked.
