Description

  The present invention relates to a phosphorescent device that irradiates light to a phosphorescent fishing tackle such as a pseudo bait, a rubber tube, or a phosphorescent ball that is frequently used mainly for night fishing and efficiently accumulates light.

  Conventionally, lighting devices such as flashlights and flash-type phosphors using xenon discharge tubes are generally used to excite and store phosphorescent agents contained in phosphorescent fishing gear such as artificial baits, rubber tubes, and phosphorescent balls. Used. Further, in connection with this, there has been a line phosphor accumulator as disclosed in Patent Document 1 as an instrument for irradiating light to a phosphorescent fishing line.

  In a lighting device such as a flashlight, the phosphorescent fishing tackle has been irradiated with light for several tens of seconds to several minutes, so that the time when the important fish can be caught may be missed. A flash-type phosphor can emit a powerful flash and quickly store it in a few seconds, but the light-emitting part must be held by hand so that the flasher is not exposed to the angler and the water fish is not wary. I was using it with care, such as covering it. Furthermore, in order to store the light on both the front and back sides of the phosphorescent fishing tackle, there is an inconvenience that after one side is irradiated with light, the other side is irradiated with light.

  It is also conceivable to use a phosphorescent device for yarn by inserting a phosphorescent fishing tool into a space through which the yarn is inserted. According to the configuration of the phosphorescent device for the thread, it is a device that accumulates light on both the front and back of the phosphorescent fishing tool at once and does not leak light to the surroundings, but it is a device that is always used to illuminate the phosphorescent fishing line. As a result, the battery is exhausted quickly and is not suitable for long-time fishing. When using it for phosphorescent fishing equipment, it is not necessary to always turn on the light, and it is normal to turn on the switch only when irradiating, and turn off the switch when the irradiation ends. Annoying.

  General phosphorescent fishing gear lasts for 3 to 5 minutes, so it is necessary to illuminate it frequently by applying light every time the device is rolled up or thrown in. He sought out light fixtures, flash phosphors, and yarn phosphors by looking in the toolbox or pocket of clothes.

  In addition, these conventional instruments always turn on and off by touching the main body and pressing, turning, or pulling the mechanical switch with your finger. When the hands were dirty due to touching fish and fish, the phosphorescent work was done after wiping hands once so that their clothes were not soiled and the lighting fixtures and phosphorescents were soiled or wetted.

JP 2006-94820 A

  As mentioned above, it is necessary to be able to use it with peace of mind without inadvertently scattering light in the surroundings with highly efficient phosphorescent means that can obtain a sufficient phosphorescent state in a few seconds to quickly perform phosphorescent work when fish can be caught . Furthermore, it is necessary to consider that even if the hand is wet or dirty, it can be used without wiping the hand so that the usability is improved in the usage method in which the device is turned on only when necessary instead of always lighting. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems and to provide a highly practical light storage device suitable for light storage work that frequently occurs in night fishing and the like.

In order to achieve the above object, a light source that irradiates light to the phosphorescent fishing tackle is housed in a housing having a long groove-shaped hollow portion into which the phosphorescent fishing tackle is inserted, and the light from the light source is irradiated into the hollow portion. None, and having a semiconductor light emitting element and a semiconductor light receiving element that receives reflected light of the output light of the semiconductor light emitting element near the inner surface or the opening position of the hollow portion, and the output of the semiconductor light receiving element Non-contact detection means capable of detecting approach, the non-contact detection means detects the insertion and removal of the phosphorescent fishing tool from the hollow portion, and according to the detection result, the function of turning on and off the light source It is set as the structure provided.

According to the present invention, since light is irradiated in the hollow portion, there is no fear of inadvertently scattering light around. Furthermore, since the light source can be turned on / off in conjunction with an artificial operation of inserting / removing the phosphorescent fishing tackle into / from the hollow portion, it is turned on only when necessary, thus saving power. In addition, it is not necessary to perform a switch operation by directly touching the device as in the prior art, and phosphorescent work can be performed without wiping the hand even if the hand is wet or dirty. As a result, the mechanism can be re-introduced more quickly, and the time efficiency increases when the fish can be caught, leading to good fishing results. In addition, by forming a long groove-shaped hollow portion, it is possible to insert the phosphorescent fishing tackle not only from the opening position of the upper portion of the hollow portion but also from the cutout portion, and the phosphorescent fishing tackle can be easily inserted into the hollow portion even in the dark. . In addition, even if the inside of a hollow part becomes dirty as a hollow part is a long groove shape, it is easy to wipe off.

In addition to the above means, at least a portion of the transparent light source located within the housing of the middle hollow portion, by a structure in which light is emitted through the transparent portions, an electronic component such as a light source and water and dirt and of Since the contact can be eliminated, the durability of the device can be improved, and the hollow portion can be easily wiped off, the structure of the device body can be prevented from being damaged by water spray, food and fish.

  Further, by having a visible light emitting means in the casing, and having a light emitting window of the visible light emitting means in a part around the opening position of the hollow portion in the casing, a phosphorescent fishing tackle can be provided even in the dark. The opening position to be inserted is known at a glance, and phosphorescent work can be performed quickly without searching by hand.

  In addition, if a part of the outer shell of the housing is provided with a locking means for body accessories such as clothes, heels, and life vests, fishing is possible while wearing the device body. Sometimes it can be used without looking for the device itself. If you wear it, you don't have to hold the equipment during the phosphorescent work and you can use both hands freely, so you can quickly do the phosphorescent work without having to put a fishing rod.

  Further, it is preferable that a battery is housed in the housing and the light source is supplied with power by the battery. The integrated power supply is excellent in portability and can be used comfortably at fishing sites.

  Moreover, when the light source is a light source including a light wavelength that easily excites the phosphorescent agent, the capacity of the limited power source can be efficiently used, and the phosphorescent agent can be excited quickly even in a short irradiation time.

  Furthermore, when the inner surface of the hollow portion is a reflecting plate such as a reflecting mirror, the light from the light source that irradiates the phosphorescent fishing tackle is spread over the entire inner surface of the hollow portion, and the phosphorescent fishing tackle is repeatedly irradiated with light. It is equivalent to this, and luminous efficiency can be improved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an external top view of the phosphor in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the phosphor in FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD in FIG.

  A hollow portion 21 having a long groove shape in which a part of a side surface of a substantially cylindrical portion is cut off, and an outer case 2 is placed on a transparent case 1 which is a casing formed of a transparent material, and a rib portion 1a of the transparent case is formed. The rib portion 2a of the external case is fitted to fix both. The appearance case 2 has a shape that does not cover the long groove-shaped hollow portion 21 in the transparent case 1, and the hollow portion 21 ensures transparency. On the back surface of the outer case 2, a clip 2 b that is a locking means that enables locking to a body accessory such as clothes, a bag, and a life vest is integrally formed. The battery cover 3 is disposed on the lower surface of the transparent case 1, and the hooks 3 a of the battery cover 3 are hooked on the locking protrusions 2 c provided on the outer case 2 and embedded in the lower surface end of the transparent case 1. The battery lid 3 is fixed to the lower surface of the transparent case 1 by tightening the insert nut 1 b and the decorative screw 4. A rubber packing 5 is interposed between the transparent case 1 and the battery lid 3 to prevent water from entering.

  A terminal board 6 is arranged in the transparent case 1, and a control board 7 is arranged on the terminal board 6. Four batteries 11 are connected by a plus terminal 10a, a minus terminal 10b, a connecting terminal A10c installed on the terminal board 6 and a connecting terminal B10d arranged on the battery lid. Is supplied with power.

  Two ultraviolet light emitting diodes 8 (hereinafter referred to as ultraviolet LEDs 8), which are light sources including a light wavelength in an ultraviolet region that easily excites a phosphorescent agent, are connected to the control board 7 via a cord 9, as a light storage means. The two ultraviolet LEDs 8 are fixed on the terminal board 6 so as to face each other. Ultraviolet LED is an electronic device that has been rapidly put into practical use in recent years. It generates a single ultraviolet wavelength, and since it is not visible light, it has no glare and can emit light with low power consumption. It is an optimal light source.

  Further, an infrared light emitting LED 12 and an infrared sensor 13 for receiving infrared light adjacent to the control board 7 are attached to the center of the control board 7, and these two electronic components are non-contact sensors for detecting the approach of a human body or a phosphorescent fishing tool. A detection means is formed. Thereby, the ultraviolet LED 8 can be turned on in conjunction with the artificial operation of inserting the phosphorescent fishing tackle.

  Then, a reflecting plate 17 such as a reflecting mirror is installed in the range of the hollow portion 21 of the transparent case, and the ultraviolet LED 8, the infrared light emitting LED 12, and the infrared sensor 13 are opened in front of the reflecting plate, and the ultraviolet LED which is a transparent portion Two light emitting windows 17a and one sensor window 17b are formed. The light emitted from the ultraviolet LED 8 by the reflecting plate 17 has an effect of spreading the light to the luminous fishing tackle repeatedly while spreading almost uniformly throughout the hollow portion 21.

  Further, a visible light LED 14 that is a visible light emitting means is disposed on the control board 7 as a light emitting means for notifying the user of the opening position of the hollow portion 21. Here, the opening position refers to an entrance portion to the hollow portion 21 that looks like an arc on the upper surface of the transparent case 1. A convex window 1b, which is an arcuate light emitting window, is provided on the upper surface of the transparent case 1 along the shape of the opening position of the hollow portion 21, and protrudes outward from the upper surface of the outer case 2. Thereby, the light of visible light LED14 permeate | transmits the convex window 1b, and displays the opening position of the hollow part 21 on an external appearance. Assuming actual usage of the phosphor, the time for turning on the visible light LED 14 is overwhelmingly longer than the time for turning on the ultraviolet LED 8, and the visible light LED 14 needs to save power accordingly. Usually, the rated lighting current value of the bullet-type LED used in the first embodiment is about 20 mA, but the visible light LED 14 is lit at about 5 mA, which is about ¼, and there is no problem. Since it is worn, it is sufficient to display it with a soft, weak light. Note that the small LED 5 is not limited to being constantly lit but may be blinking. When blinking, the power consumption can be extremely reduced.

  Further, the main switch 15 for turning on / off the power supply to the control circuit 7 is located at the upper end of the control board 7, and a switch rubber 16 sandwiched between the transparent case 1 and the outer case 2 as shown in FIG. It is configured so that it can be operated by pushing with a finger from outside.

  The operation in the above configuration will be described. When the switch rubber 16 is pressed and the main switch 15 is turned on, the circuit is in an operating state. First, the convex window 1b that informs the opening position of the hollow portion 21 is turned on, and the ultraviolet LED 8 of the light storage means is turned off.

  Next, the mechanism of the detection sensor that detects the approach of the human body and the phosphorescent fishing tackle will be described. The infrared light emitting LED 12 always emits light, and when a reflective object such as a human hand or a phosphorescent fishing tool approaches the front of the infrared light emitting LED 12, the infrared light emitted from the infrared light emitting LED 12 is in its hand. And is incident on the infrared sensor 13 located next to the infrared light emitting LED 12. In addition, it has the structure which detects only reflected light by providing the black partition 18 between infrared light emission LED12 and the infrared sensor 13, and the malfunctioning of the infrared sensor 13 is prevented. Therefore, the closer the reflective object such as a hand or a phosphorescent fishing tool approaches the front of the sensor window 17b, the more infrared rays are incident on the infrared sensor 13. The infrared sensor 13 uses a semiconductor element whose terminal voltage changes according to the incident amount of infrared light to detect the incident amount of infrared light, and the infrared incident amount to the infrared sensor 13 is constant. When the value is exceeded, the control circuit is activated, and the ultraviolet LED 8 as the light storage means is turned on. According to this sensor configuration, the detection distance at which the ultraviolet LED 8 is turned on can be designed with high accuracy by adjusting the light emission intensity of the infrared light emitting LED 12 and the light receiving sensitivity of the infrared sensor 13, and the infrared light emitting LED 12 has directivity on the front. Therefore, the detection range can be reduced in front of the sensor window 17b. In the first embodiment, it is assumed that your arm or fishing rod crosses the front of the phosphor main body during fishing, and lights up when your hand or phosphorescent fishing tackle approaches from the front of the sensor window 17b to the range in the hollow portion 21. Is set to switch. If the detection range is too wide, unintended erroneous detection is likely to occur, which is not preferable. In addition, the infrared light emitting LED 12 has no problem in the reaction operation even when intermittent light emission of 2 to 3 Hz is performed by the control circuit 7, and the power consumption can be suppressed extremely low.

  After that, when the phosphorescent operation with the ultraviolet LED 8 as the phosphorescent means is completed, the ultraviolet LED 8 needs to be turned off to suppress battery consumption. To turn off the light, a timer control may be performed by the operation of the control circuit 7 so that a reflective object such as a hand or a phosphorescent fishing tackle is moved away from the sensor window 17b and turned off after several seconds.

  As described above, an artificial operation to insert a phosphorescent fishing tool into the hollow portion 21 of the phosphor according to the arc-shaped light emission display at the opening position without searching for the phosphor by wearing the phosphor main body. The ultraviolet LED 8 with high luminous efficiency is turned on in conjunction with the lamp, so that it is possible to quickly move to luminous operation. Moreover, since the light of the ultraviolet LED 8 is irradiated substantially uniformly in the hollow portion 21, the front and back surfaces can be stored at a time regardless of the insertion direction of the phosphorescent fishing tackle. Further, when the work is completed and the phosphorescent fishing tool is removed from the hollow portion, the ultraviolet LED 8 is turned off after a few seconds, so that fishing can be resumed quickly.

  In addition, since the structure is waterproofed by a combination of rubber packing 5 and the like, it can be used safely even in places where rain or seawater is applied. In the first embodiment, the long groove shape is selected for easy insertion of the phosphorescent fishing tackle, easy wiping of dirt, and reliable operation of the detection sensor. However, in order to further pursue luminous efficiency, the width of the notch portion of the long groove is selected. Needless to say, it is also possible to make the cylinder narrower or without a notch.

(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 7 shows an external top view of the phosphor in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line EE in FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line FF in FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line GG in FIG.

  Since the structure is similar to that of the first embodiment, only different parts will be described. In the second embodiment, the hollow portion of the transparent case 1 has a substantially cylindrical shape without notches, and one ultraviolet LED 8 is drawn on the control board, the cord 9 is pulled out from the control board 7, and three pieces are put on the terminal board 6. , A total of four are installed at intervals of 90 degrees. As in the second embodiment, when a large number of ultraviolet LEDs 8 are used and the light spreads almost uniformly over the entire hollow portion 21, it is not always necessary to use the reflecting plate 17.

  In the second embodiment, since the ultraviolet LED 8 is turned on in conjunction with the operation of inserting the phosphorescent fishing tackle, a method different from that of the first embodiment is taken, and a slope switch plate is provided as a mechanical switch in the vicinity of the opening position of the hollow portion. 19 were newly provided. Here, the opening position is an entrance to the hollow portion that appears to be substantially circular on the upper surface of the transparent case 1.

  The slope switch plate 19 has rotating shafts 19a and 19b fitted in the transparent case 1, and when the slope switch plate 19 is pushed from the outside, the lighting switch 20 installed just behind the slope switch plate 19 is pushed down, and the ultraviolet light is turned on. This is a mechanism in which the LED 8 is lit. The UV LED 8 is controlled by a timer so that the UV LED 8 is turned off when a predetermined time elapses after the lighting switch is pressed by the operation of the control circuit 7. Specifically, it is desirable to set the lamp to turn off after about 10 seconds in consideration of the light storage time.

  Further, a visible light LED 14 is disposed on the control board 7 as a light emitting means for notifying the user of the opening position of the hollow portion. By making the slope switch plate 19 milky white with a diffusing agent kneaded in a transparent resin, the slope switch plate 19 itself emits light and can inform the user of the opening position. The lighting switch 20 is an instruction to turn on / off the power supply to the control circuit 7 when a long press for 1 second or more is performed, and an instruction to turn on the ultraviolet LED 8 when a short press for 1 second or less is performed. If the control board 7 is programmed, only one switch is required.

  According to this configuration, in the dark, the phosphorescent fishing tool is inserted with the target slope switch plate 19 as a target. Therefore, the phosphorescent fishing tool reliably captures the slope switch plate 19 and interlocks with the operation of inserting the phosphorescent fishing tool. Since the slope switch plate 19 is pressed, there is no need to touch the phosphor main body to turn on the switch as in the conventional case, and the timer is turned off so that fishing can be resumed quickly.

  In addition, although description by illustration is abbreviate | omitted, you may make it the structure of light-extinguishing, if a mechanical switch equivalent to the slope switch board 19 is located in the bottom face of the hollow part 21, and a phosphorescent fishing tackle is attached to the bottom face, and extinguishing when it leaves | separates. As described above, it goes without saying that lighting by a mechanical switch operation linked to an artificial operation is also included in the present invention.

  According to the present invention, light can be quickly stored on both the front and back surfaces of a phosphorescent fishing tackle by simply inserting the phosphorescent fishing tackle into the hollow portion without searching for a phosphorescent body. Moreover, it is possible to provide a wide range of highly practical phosphorescent devices that can be used without concern even if the hands are dirty. Due to its high luminous efficiency, it can be used not only for fishing but also for fishing.
