Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel that rotatably supports a spool around which a fishing line is wound between side plates of a reel body, and more particularly to a fishing reel that is configured to be able to wind a fishing line on a spool in an auxiliary manner.

  Conventionally, as one of the fishing methods, lure fishing is known in which an action is given to a pseudo bait called lure to fish a fish. For example, a configuration as disclosed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 is known. A fishing reel is used. In this lure fishing, fish usually have a habit of not much interest in things that move at a constant speed and movement, so it is possible to give actions such as stopping and moving lures by operating rods and reels. It is done.

  As one of the operations in this case, after casting, the rod is lifted to give an action to the lure, and the raised fishing line is wound around the spool by rotating the handle so that no dandruff occurs while lowering the rod. There are things to do. Then, the fisherman repeats this series of lure actions (trimming winding guidance operation) several times according to the situation of the fishing ground, and waits for fish hitting.

  When lure fishing is performed with the fishing reel having the above-described configuration, the fisherman uses the lure action operation described above separately for the rod operation by the hand holding and holding the reel and the winding rotation operation by the opposite hand. It must be done, the state where the arm that operates the rod after the casting operation is fully extended, or the handle is facing downward (the handle held with the rod faces downward due to the wrist) Easy), the other hand is in an unnatural position, and an easy and delicate handle rotation operation, that is, a winding operation cannot be performed.

  Also, if you hold an object at the fishing ground or with a hand on the handle side, or if you hold a fishing net with one hand and hold a net to catch fish with the other hand, your hand will be blocked. Thus, there may be a situation in which the winding operation cannot be performed with the hand on the handle side.

  Therefore, the present inventor, for example, in Patent Document 3 and the like, an auxiliary operation member that can be operated with a finger of a hand holding a fishing rod is provided on the reel body, and the operation portion of the auxiliary operation member is rotated. Therefore, a fishing reel having a configuration in which a fishing line can be supplementarily wound around a spool has been proposed. The auxiliary operation member described above is connected to a gear mounted on the rotation shaft of the handle by a power transmission mechanism having a gear train, and transmits the operation by the operation unit to the rotation shaft of the handle and winds up the handle. At this time, a one-way clutch is interposed in the power transmission mechanism so that the rotational driving force is transmitted to the auxiliary operation member and the operation unit does not operate unnecessarily.

According to such a fishing reel, the fisherman can wind the fishing line auxiliary around the spool by operating the operation portion of the auxiliary operation member with the hand holding the fishing rod during actual fishing. Therefore, it becomes possible to perform the lure action operation without any trouble. Further, when the handle is wound up by the above-described one-way clutch, the operation unit does not operate unnecessarily. The above-described auxiliary operation member is provided with a biasing means so that the operation unit returns to the initial position when the operation unit is rotated. That is, the auxiliary operation member is configured to automatically return to the initial position when the operation unit is rotated and released, and the spool is operated by intermittently rotating the operation unit. It is designed to be supplementarily wound.

  As described above, the fishing reel according to the prior art rotates the operation portion of the auxiliary operation member so that the spool is supplementally wound by the power transmission by the meshing of the one-way clutch and the plurality of gears. If the finger is released after rotating the operation unit, the gear will move in the direction opposite to the winding direction due to the slight frictional resistance of the rolling member of the one-way clutch by the force of the biasing means. Slightly slips and meshes between the meshing gears (backlash phenomenon). This idle movement is the amount of idle winding of the operation unit that is not transmitted power when the operation unit is then rotated to assist the spool. In addition, the occurrence of such idle movement causes a hit between the meshing gears every time the operating portion is rotated, and there is room for further improvement in terms of the winding operation feeling.

  It should be noted that the above-described lost motion phenomenon is also caused by an overrun phenomenon of the handle when the operation unit is turned.

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel in which a spool can be supplementarily wound by an operation portion of an auxiliary operation member provided on a reel body, and relates to an empty power transmission mechanism when the operation portion is operated. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel that suppresses the movement phenomenon.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention holds a fishing rod in a fishing reel in which a fishing line is wound around a spool provided in a reel body by rotating a handle provided on a side of the reel body. It has an operation part that is arranged at a position where it can be operated with fingers of the hand, and it is possible to rotate an auxiliary operation member for winding the fishing line against the urging force so that the fishing line can be wound around the spool in an auxiliary manner A one-way clutch is interposed between a drive shaft that is supported and rotated by operation of the auxiliary operation member and a gear that constitutes a power transmission mechanism that transmits power to the spool, and the auxiliary operation member is moved to an initial position by the biasing force. In addition, there is provided suppression means for suppressing the idle movement of the gear caused by the accompanying rotation in the same direction when returning to the position.

According to the fishing reel having the above-described configuration, after performing the casting operation, the operation part of the auxiliary operation member can be rotated against the urging force with the fingers of the hand held together with the fishing rod. The fishing line can be supplementarily wound around the spool. That is, the finger operation on the side holding the fishing rod and the reel body integrally is performed after performing the casting operation without being affected by the expansion / contraction state of the arm for operating the fishing rod or the wrist state of the arm. Thus, it is possible to perform an easy and delicate winding operation of the fishing line.

Further , a one-way clutch is interposed between a drive shaft that rotates by operation of the auxiliary operation member and a gear that constitutes a power transmission mechanism that transmits power to the spool, and the auxiliary operation member returns to the initial position by the biasing force. By providing the suppression means for suppressing the idle movement of the gear due to the rotation in the same direction at the time, there is no occurrence of idle movement when operating the operation part of the auxiliary operation member, the operation amount of the operation part is It can be directly transmitted to the spool, and at the time of operation, there is no contact between the meshing gears and the operational feeling is improved.

According to the fishing reel of the present invention, the operation portion of the auxiliary operation member can be rotated against the urging force with the finger of the hand holding the reel together with the fishing rod even in a situation where the handle operation is difficult. Thus, it is possible to easily and surely perform the winding guide operation for the device. Furthermore, the idle movement phenomenon of the gear caused by the accompanying rotation in the same direction when the operation unit returns to the initial position by the urging force is suppressed, so that the winding operability and the feeling of the winding operation can be improved.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a fishing reel according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 5 are views showing a first embodiment of a fishing reel according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a partial sectional plan view showing a portion of an auxiliary operation member, and FIG. 2 is a side plate removed. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the one-way clutch portion, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is taken along the line BB in FIG. FIG.

  The reel body 1 of the fishing reel of this embodiment includes left and right frames 2a and 2b, and left and right side plates 3a and 3b attached to each frame with a predetermined space. In the embodiment, a handle shaft 6 to which the handle 5 is attached is rotatably supported on the right side plate 3b side).

  A spool shaft 8 to which a spool 7 around which a fishing line is wound is rotatably supported between the left and right plates 3a and 3b. The spool 7 includes a drive gear 10 attached to the handle shaft 6 and It is configured to be rotationally driven by a rotating operation of the handle 5 via a winding drive mechanism 13 having a pinion 12 supported so as to be detachable from the spool shaft 8. Also, a finger rest member (thum rest) 15 is disposed between the left and right side plates 3a and 3b so that the thumb can be placed when the reel unit is gripped in front of and above the spool shaft 8. ing.

  The handle shaft 6 is provided with a rotating body 16 (drag adjusting body) for operating a known drag mechanism that adjusts the braking force to the spool 7. By rotating the rotating body 16, the fishing line is operated. A desired braking force is applied to the spool rotation during feeding. Also, a known clutch mechanism 17 is engaged with the pinion 12, and the clutch lever 18 at the rear of the spool is pushed down to release the connection with the spool shaft to turn the clutch off (spool free state). 5 can be automatically recovered from the clutch OFF to the clutch ON (spool rotation state).

  A power transmission mechanism 20 having a plurality of power transmission gears is connected to the winding drive mechanism 13, and the spool 7 is moved via the power transmission mechanism 20 by operating an auxiliary operation member described later. It is comprised so that winding operation can be carried out auxiliary. The power transmission mechanism 20 according to the present embodiment includes a gear 21 that is attached to the handle shaft 6 so as to be adjacent to the drive gear 10, and a right and left that meshes with the gear 21 and winds a fishing line around the spool 7 in parallel. A gear 22 is attached to the end of a drive shaft 31 constituting a known level winder 30 that reciprocates, and gears 23 and 24 are rotatably supported on the right frame 2b. The gear 22 meshes with a handle-side gear 23 among the gears provided side by side.

  An auxiliary operation member 40 is rotatably supported between the left and right side plates 3a and 3b. The auxiliary operation member 40 is provided between the left and right frames 2a and 2b so as to surround a drive shaft 41 rotatably supported via a bearing, and an operation portion that protrudes in the radial direction over the axial direction. 40a. In this case, the auxiliary operation member 40 is rotatably supported at a position where the operation unit 40a can be operated by a finger of a hand holding a fishing rod, for example, between the left and right side plates 3a and 3b as in this embodiment. What is necessary is just to be supported so that it can rotate in the back side of the above-mentioned finger contact member 15. By arranging the auxiliary operation member 40 in such a position, when the thumb is placed on the finger contact member 15 when the reel unit is gripped, it is possible to perform the inclining operation with the abdomen of the thumb as it is. .

  Further, in the normal state, the operation unit 40a is preferably arranged and configured to protrude obliquely upward on the rear side so that the fishing line is not caught as shown in FIGS. A biasing spring 43 is provided at the base of the auxiliary operation member 40 between the left frame 2a, and the operation unit 40a is always biased in a direction of rotating forward, and every time a lying down operation is performed. It automatically returns to the initial position.

  The drive shaft 41 protrudes from the right frame 2b toward the handle, and a gear 45 that meshes with the gear 24 is attached to the protruding end of the drive shaft 41 that constitutes the power transmission mechanism 20. A one-way clutch 50 is interposed between the gear 45 and the drive shaft 41. The one-way clutch 50 is housed in a one-way clutch housing portion 51 provided on the right side plate side, and is fitted with a gear 45 (or formed integrally with the gear 45), and a plurality of rollers. 53 and a retainer 54 for holding the same, and each roller 53 is formed on the outer ring 52 by an urging force of a spring member 55 interposed between the retainers 54 as shown in FIG. It is biased towards the wedge area.

  According to the one-way clutch 50 having such a configuration, the operation portion 40a of the auxiliary operation member 40 is rotated backward from the state shown in FIG. 6 against the urging force of the urging spring 43 as shown in FIG. When the moving (slope) operation is performed, the drive shaft 41 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 8, so that each roller 53 is pressed against the wedge region as shown in FIG. Will come to be. The rotation of the gear 45 is transmitted to the drive gear 10 of the take-up drive mechanism 13 via the gear 24 (gear 23), the gear 22, and the gear 21 of the power transmission mechanism 20, and the handle 5 is wound on the fishing line. Rotate in the direction (winding the fishing line around the spool auxiliary). On the other hand, when the handle 5 is rotated in the fishing line winding direction, the rotation is transmitted to the gear 45 via the power transmission mechanism 20, but the gear 45 rotates counterclockwise as shown in FIG. Even so, since each roller 53 moves to the free rotation region, the rotation is not transmitted to the drive shaft 41 (auxiliary operation member 40).

  Since the auxiliary operation member 40 configured as described above is provided on the reel body 1, after performing the casting operation after switching the clutch mechanism 17 to the spool-free state and performing the lure action, the reel body 1 The operation portion 40a can be rotated (falling down) against the urging force of the urging spring 43 with a finger of a hand holding and holding the non-handle side plate 3a (FIGS. 6 and 7). reference). By performing such a turning operation, the turning force is transmitted to the handle shaft 6 via the one-way clutch 50 and the power transmission mechanism 20, and therefore the clutch mechanism 17 is wound from the spool free state. In addition to being switched to the state, a delicate winding operation (winding assist operation) of the spool 7 can be performed continuously as it is.

  That is, the clutch lever 18 behind the spool is pushed down with one hand (left hand) to turn the clutch OFF (spool free state), and after the casting operation, as shown in FIG. By rotating the operation unit 40a so as to push it in, the handle is driven and rotated in the winding direction, and the clutch mechanism 17 is automatically switched from OFF to ON (winding state). In other words, without changing the hand, the clutch can be switched from ON to OFF and OFF to ON with one hand (left hand), and then the auxiliary winding operation can be performed, and the other hand (right hand) can be quickly handled. It is possible to shift to the winding operation by.

  As a result, a stable holding state can be maintained by the operation of the finger of the hand holding and holding the reel body 1 without being affected by the expansion / contraction state of the arm for operating the fishing rod and the wrist state of the arm. However, a delicate fishing line winding operation can be performed quickly and easily. In this case, since the one-way clutch 50 is interposed between the drive shaft 41 of the auxiliary operation member 40 and the gear 45, when the handle 5 is wound up and the fishing line is wound around the spool 7, The operation member 40 is not interlocked, and the operability can be improved as a whole fishing reel.

In the power transmission mechanism 20 configured as described above, when the operation portion 40a of the auxiliary operation member 40 is operated to rotate, the suppression means 60 for suppressing the idle movement of the gears that constitute the component is provided. Is provided.
Here, before explaining the configuration of the suppressing means 60, the idle movement phenomenon of the gear will be explained with reference to FIG. 10 and FIG.

  When the operation portion 40a of the auxiliary operation member is laid down and rotated, and then released, the operation portion 40a tries to return in the direction of arrow D by the force of the biasing spring 43 provided on the auxiliary operation member 40 described above. Accordingly, the drive shaft 41 rotates in the clockwise direction. At this time, each roller 53 of the one-way clutch is in a state of being engaged with the wedge region of the outer ring 52, and the gear 45 is rotated by the influence of a slight frictional resistance between each roller 53 and the outer ring 52. It moves idle in the direction of rotation. The idle motion is transmitted to the handle shaft 6 through the gear train (the gear 24, the gear 23, the gear 22, and the gear 21). The handle shaft 6 is in a reverse rotation prevention state by the reverse rotation prevention mechanism. As a result, backlash between the gears accumulates, and finally, the gear 45 has an amount of movement indicated by the symbol M in FIG.

  The movement amount M due to the accumulation of backlash corresponds to the return rotation range amount indicated by reference numeral M1 in FIG. 10 when the operation unit 40a returns, and when the operation unit 40a exceeds the range of M1, It returns to the initial position P without moving the gear 45. This amount of rotation M1 corresponds to the amount of idle winding of the operation unit at the time of the next lying operation of the operation unit 40a. As shown in FIG. 11, in the range from the initial position P to the amount of rotation M1, the next winding is performed. It is an empty winding range that cannot be hoisted by the take-up operation. That is, the substantial winding operation of the spool is started from the time when the rotation amount M1 is exceeded from the initial position P when the operation unit 40a is tilted.

  As a result, the amount of winding of the fishing line at the time of one inclining operation of the operation unit 40a is reduced, and the dandruff cannot be sufficiently eliminated. Therefore, the operability is reduced. In addition, since the idle movement occurs during the rotation operation, the contact occurs between the gears, and the winding sensitivity is deteriorated.

  In order to suppress the idling phenomenon as described above, the suppressing means 60 in the present embodiment is configured as follows.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the outer ring 52 that rotates integrally with the gear 45 of the one-way clutch 50 is protruded in the axial direction from the gear portion, and the rotation of the gear 45 is suppressed by friction at the protruding portion 52 a. A friction imparting member is provided. That is, by applying a frictional force to the outer ring 52 serving as the rotation shaft portion of the gear 45, a braking force can be applied so that the gear 45 does not rotate when the operating portion 40a returns to the initial position. As a result, it is possible to suppress the phenomenon of idle motion.

  Specifically, the friction applying member is configured by a spring member (torsion spring) 61 that contacts the rotating shaft portion of the gear 45 with a predetermined pressing force, and a boss 2c is integrally formed on the frame 2b. The central portion 61a of the elastic spring member 61 is wound around the boss 2c a plurality of times, and both winding ends are crossed so that both the end portions 61b and 61c side sandwich the protruding portion 52a. That is, since the predetermined frictional force is applied to the outer ring 52 in the circumferential direction by the sandwiched spring member 61, the drive shaft 41 rotates in the clockwise direction when the operation unit 40a returns. Thus, even if the outer ring 52 is rotated in the same direction via the roller 53, this can be prevented, and the idle movement of the gear 45 can be suppressed.

  As a result, no idle movement occurs when the operation portion 40a of the auxiliary operation member 40 is rotated, and the operation amount at the operation portion can be transmitted to the spool as it is without decreasing the amount of fishing line winding. It becomes like this. That is, since the amount of fishing line winding does not decrease during one inclining operation of the operation unit 40a, it is possible to efficiently eliminate the dandruff, and it is not necessary to perform the inclining operation many times. In addition, since the effective operation amount of the operation unit 40a does not decrease, the clutch can be smoothly returned (OFF to ON) by the above-described lying down operation of the operation unit 40a, and the occurrence of a clutch return failure can be prevented. It becomes.

  Further, when the operation unit 40a is operated, there is no contact between the meshing gears in the power transmission mechanism, so that the operational feeling can be improved. Furthermore, as described above, the restraining means simply holds the spring member 61 on the rotating shaft portion so as to apply a frictional force to the gear 45, so that the structure is simple and the assembly is easy. In addition, there is no cost increase.

  It is preferable that the suppression means 60 as described above is disposed in the one-way clutch portion where the idle movement occurs with the return of the operation unit 40a to the initial position. It can be modified as appropriate, for example, by being mounted on any gear part or by being arranged on a support shaft part of the gear. Moreover, you may install such a suppression means in multiple places. In the present embodiment, the spring member is used as the friction applying member. However, the friction member is not limited to the spring member as long as it can prevent the idle movement of the gear. It may be a contact member or the like.

  12 and 13 are diagrams showing a second embodiment of the present invention and showing another configuration example of the suppressing means. In these drawings, FIG. 12 is a plan sectional view showing the configuration of the restraining means disposed in the one-way clutch portion, and FIG. 13 is a sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. In these drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same constituent members as those in the above-described embodiment.

  The suppression means 70 in this embodiment is configured by disposing a backlash removal gear for suppressing backlash on the power transmission gear in the power transmission mechanism 20, and the backlash removal gear 71 meshes with the gear 45. It is provided integrally with the gear 24. In this case, the gear 24 is rotatably supported by a boss 2f that is integrated with the gear 23 and protrudes from the right frame 2b via a bearing 2e.

  A backlash removing gear 71 that meshes with the gear 45 with the same teeth as the gear 24 is superposed on the gear 24 on the right frame side. Together, an arc-shaped notch hole is formed, and an urging spring 73 is held here. Specifically, a holding portion 71 a is formed at one end portion of the notch hole of the backlash removal gear 71, and the notch hole of the backlash removal gear 71 is formed at the other end portion of the corresponding notch hole of the gear 24. A protruding piece 24a is formed, and the biasing spring 73 is held between the holding portion 71a and the protruding piece 24a. As a result, the gears 24 and 71 are in a state of being resiliently projected in the circumferential direction, and absorb backlash generated between the gear 24 and the gear 45.

  Thus, the suppression means may be configured such that any of the gears in the power transmission mechanism is constituted by a backlash removal gear having a backlash prevention function, and the above-described embodiment is also provided by such a configuration. The same effect can be obtained.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of the present invention, and is a diagram showing still another configuration example of the suppression means.

  The restraining means 80 of this embodiment is provided with an annular friction body 81 made of an elastic member such as rubber on the gear 23 instead of the backlash removing gear 71 in the second embodiment described above. A similar annular friction body 82 is provided in parallel, and both annular friction bodies 81 and 82 are brought into contact with each other.

  According to such a configuration, as in the first embodiment described above, even when the gear 45 is about to be rotated when the operation unit 40a returns to the initial position, the two-ring friction bodies 81 and 82 serve as friction applying members. The idle movement of the gear 45 can be suppressed by the frictional force generated between these functions. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, For example, it can comprise as follows.

  The auxiliary operation member 40 disposed via the one-way clutch described above can be provided on each rotating body that is rotationally driven when the handle 5 is driven to wind. Further, the operation portion 40a of the auxiliary operation member 40 can be provided at an appropriate position of the reel body 1 as long as it is provided at a position where it can be operated by a finger of a hand holding a fishing rod. Further, the above-described one-way clutch 50 can be provided on a rotating body that is driven to rotate when the handle 5 is wound up, and the auxiliary operation member 40 is provided with the one-way clutch 50. It may be disposed on a rotating body (such as a gear) different from the rotating body.

  Further, the suppression means for suppressing the idle movement of the gear may be provided at any position of the gear constituting the power transmission mechanism 20, or may be installed at a plurality of gear portions. Further, the friction applying member and the backlash removing gear having the above-described configuration may be appropriately combined. In this case, the idle movement phenomenon of the gear as described above also occurs due to an overrun phenomenon of the handle 5 when the operation unit 40a is rotated. However, the suppression means described above can be attached to the handle shaft 6, By disposing the gear near the shaft (gear 21 or the like), it is possible to suppress the idle movement caused by the overrun phenomenon of the handle, and to more reliably suppress the idle movement phenomenon of the operation unit 40a.
