Description

  The present invention relates to a spool driving device, and more particularly to a spool driving device for an electric reel that drives a spool mounted on a reel body of the electric reel.

  The electric reel is a reel that can wind a fishing line with a motor. The electric reel includes a motor for driving the spool, a speed reduction mechanism using a planetary gear mechanism for reducing the rotation of the motor, and a drag mechanism for braking the rotation in the yarn feeding direction. The drag mechanism is provided to prevent the fishing line from being cut when the fish is pulled strongly. As the drag mechanism, a star drag type that brakes a main gear rotatably mounted on a handle shaft on which a handle is mounted is often used. The one-way clutch prohibits the handle shaft from rotating in the yarn feeding direction in order to operate the drag.

  In this type of electric reel, there is a conventional type that can perform three types of winding: manual winding with a handle, follow-up winding with a motor and a handle, or electric winding with a motor, and the drag mechanism works in all three types of winding. It is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the conventional electric reel in which the drag mechanism operates in all three types of winding, the drag force is adjusted according to the fishing method and the thickness of the fishing line corresponding to the fishing target.

JP 2003-79293 A

  In the conventional configuration, for example, in fishing using a relatively thin fishing line such as a rod, the drag force is set weak. As described above, when the drag force is set to be weak, if the fish is pulled strongly, the drag mechanism may be activated at the time of winding and the fishing line may not be wound up. In such a case, conventionally, the fishing line is wound up by operating the operation member of the drag mechanism to increase the drag force. However, if the drag force is adjusted by the operation member of the drag mechanism, it is difficult to increase the drag force instantaneously. In particular, in the star drag type, the increase rate of the drag force per one rotation of the operation member is small so that the drag force can be finely adjusted. For this reason, it is difficult to instantaneously wind up by the motor during the drag operation.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to make it possible to instantaneously restart the hoisting operation by the motor even if the drag operation is activated and the hoisting operation by the motor becomes impossible.

A spool driving device for an electric reel according to a first aspect is a device for driving a spool mounted on a reel body of the electric reel. The spool drive device includes a motor that drives the spool in the yarn winding direction, a reverse rotation prohibiting unit, a first rotation transmission mechanism, a second rotation transmission mechanism, and a braking mechanism. The reverse rotation prohibiting unit prohibits reverse rotation of the motor in the yarn feeding direction. The first rotation transmission mechanism has a planetary reduction mechanism that decelerates the rotation of the motor, and transmits the rotation of the motor to the spool. The second rotation transmission mechanism includes a drag mechanism that brakes the rotation of the spool in the yarn unwinding direction. The second rotation transmission mechanism is connected to the carrier of the planetary speed reduction mechanism, and rotates the handle that is rotatably mounted on the reel body in the yarn winding direction. It is transmitted to the spool through the speed reduction mechanism. The braking mechanism brakes the carrier of the planetary speed reduction mechanism. The braking mechanism has a braking member and a braking operation member. The braking member is connected to the carrier so as to be integrally rotatable. The braking operation member is provided movably between a separation position that is separated from the braking member and a braking position that is in contact with the braking member, and the braking member can be operated for braking. The first planetary gear mechanism has a first sun gear, a first planetary gear, a first carrier, and an internal gear. The second planetary gear mechanism has a second sun gear, a second planetary gear, and a second carrier. The first sun gear is connected to the output shaft of the motor so as to be integrally rotatable. The first planetary gear is at least one gear that meshes with the first sun gear. The first carrier supports the first planetary gear rotatably and is rotatable around the output shaft. The internal gear meshes with the first planetary gear. The second sun gear is coupled to the first carrier so as to be integrally rotatable. The second planetary gear is at least one gear that meshes with the second sun gear and the internal gear. The second carrier rotatably supports the second planetary gear and is rotatable around the output shaft. The second carrier is coupled to the second rotation transmission mechanism, and the braking member is coupled to the second carrier so as to be integrally rotatable.

  In this spool driving device, when the spool is driven by a motor, the rotation is transmitted to the spool via the first rotation transmission mechanism having the planetary reduction mechanism. The planetary speed reduction mechanism of the first rotation transmission mechanism is connected to the drag mechanism of the second rotation transmission mechanism via a carrier. For this reason, even during the electric winding, when the spool rotates in the yarn unwinding direction, the rotation of the spool in the yarn unwinding direction is braked by the drag mechanism. At this time, if the drag force is weak and the fishing line cannot be wound up, the braking mechanism is operated. Then, the carrier of the planetary reduction mechanism is braked. When the carrier is braked, the slippage caused by the drag mechanism connected through the carrier is eliminated or reduced, and the feeding of the fishing line is stopped or reduced, and the winding by the motor can be resumed.

  Here, a braking mechanism that brakes the carrier of the planetary speed reduction mechanism connected to the drag mechanism is provided. Eliminate or decrease. For this reason, even if the drag is activated and the motor cannot be wound, the winding by the motor can be resumed instantaneously.

  Further, the braking member connected to the carrier is braked by the braking operation member instead of directly braking the carrier. For this reason, by arranging the braking member at an appropriate position, the braking operation member can be arranged at a position where the angler can easily operate.

  Furthermore, since the planetary reduction mechanism has two planetary gear mechanisms, the rotation of the motor can be greatly reduced. The second carrier is connected to a second rotation transmission mechanism having a drag mechanism, and the braking member is connected to the second carrier so as to be integrally rotatable. For this reason, the distance between the drag mechanism and the brake member is reduced, and the slip of the drag mechanism can be more easily eliminated by the brake mechanism.

The spool driving device for an electric reel according to a second aspect is the device according to the first aspect , wherein the braking member is a disk-shaped member. The braking operation member is a shaft member that can advance and retract along the radial direction of the braking member between a separation position that is separated from the outer circumferential surface of the braking member and a braking position that is in contact with the outer circumferential surface. In this case, since it contacts the outer peripheral surface of the brake member of the disc member, the braking force can be adjusted by the pressing operation of the brake operation member, and the braking operation becomes easy.

The spool driving device for an electric reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the device according to the second aspect , wherein the braking mechanism further includes a guide member that is mounted on the reel body and supports the braking operation member so as to freely advance and retract along the radial direction. . In this case, since the braking operation member is guided not by the reel body but by the guide member mounted on the reel body, there is no need to provide a guide structure for the braking operation member on the reel body, and the structure of the reel body is simplified. .

The spool driving device for an electric reel according to a fourth aspect is the device according to the second or third aspect , wherein the braking operation member is not rotatable relative to the reel body. In this case, even if the braking operation member is a shaft member, the contact surface with the braking member can be maintained constant because it does not rotate around the axis during operation.

The spool driving device for an electric reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, further comprising a biasing member that biases the braking operation member toward the separation position. In this case, since the braking operation member is advanced and retracted by the operation force for operating the braking operation member, the braking force can be finely adjusted by the operation force. For this reason, it is possible to finely feed or wind up the fishing line by using the thin fishing line and changing the braking force slightly.

The spool driving device for an electric reel according to a sixth aspect of the invention is the device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the operation portion of the braking operation member protrudes from the outer surface of the reel body so as to face the front lower side on the fishing line feeding side. Are arranged. In this case, the operation portion of the braking operation member is disposed so as to protrude from the outer surface of the reel body so as to face the front lower side. For this reason, in the case of a small electric reel that often uses a thin fishing line, the braking operation member can be operated with the fingertip of the palming hand.

The spool driving apparatus for an electric reel according to a seventh aspect is the apparatus according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, wherein the motor is fixed to the reel body outside the spool. The first rotation transmission mechanism further includes a first gear member, a second gear member, and a pinion gear. The first gear member is rotatably mounted on the reel body and can rotate integrally with the internal gear. The second gear member is rotatably mounted on the reel body and meshes with the first gear member. The pinion gear is rotatably mounted around the rotation axis of the spool and meshes with the second gear member.

  In this case, since the motor is disposed outside the spool, the spool can be reduced in size. Further, the rotation from the motor and the handle is transmitted from the first gear member rotating integrally with the internal gear to the pinion gear via the second gear member. For this reason, rotation can be transmitted to the pinion gear using the same path by the motor and the handle.

The spool driving device for an electric reel according to an eighth aspect is the device according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, wherein the second rotation transmission mechanism further includes a main gear and a third gear member. The main gear is rotatably mounted on the rotation shaft of the handle. The third gear member is provided on the second carrier so as to be integrally rotatable, and meshes with the main gear. The drag mechanism applies an adjustable braking force between the rotating shaft and the main gear. In this case, when the fishing line is fed out exceeding the drag force set for fish pulling when the motor is driven, the second carrier rotates and the driving force by the motor is not transmitted to the spool. However, when the second carrier is braked by the braking mechanism, the rotation of the second carrier is reduced or stopped, and winding by the motor becomes possible.

  According to the present invention, since the braking mechanism for braking the carrier of the planetary speed reduction mechanism connected to the drag mechanism is provided, even when the drag force is weak and the fishing line cannot be wound up, Sliding due to is eliminated or reduced. For this reason, even if the drag is activated and the motor cannot be wound, the winding by the motor can be resumed instantaneously.

The pinion gear 32 moves along the direction of the spool shaft 14 between the clutch-on position shown in FIG. 3 and the clutch-off position on the right side of FIG. 3 from the clutch-on position. At the clutch-on position, the clutch pin 16a engages with the clutch recess 16b, and the rotation of the pinion gear 32 is transmitted to the spool shaft 14, and the clutch mechanism 16 enters the clutch-on state. In this clutch-on state, the pinion gear 32 and the spool shaft 14 can rotate together. In the clutch-off position, the clutch recess 16b is separated from the clutch pin 16a, and the rotation of the pinion gear 32 is not transmitted to the spool shaft 14.

The clutch yoke 20 b is guided along the spool shaft 14 by two guide shafts 20 c erected on the mechanism mounting plate 19. When the clutch operating member 11 swings from the clutch-on position to the clutch-off position, the clutch cam 20a rotates about the spool shaft 14 counterclockwise in FIG. Then, the clutch cam 20 a presses the clutch yoke 20 b toward the second end side of the spool shaft 14. As a result, the clutch mechanism 16 enters a clutch-off state. Further, when the clutch operating member 11 swings from the clutch-off position to the clutch-on position, the clutch cam 20a rotates about the spool shaft 14 in the clockwise direction in FIG.

And a drag washer 33. The drag mechanism 28 brakes the spool 10 with a braking force capable of adjusting the rotation of the spool 10 in the yarn unwinding direction via the main gear 31. A ratchet wheel 35 is disposed on the back side of the main gear 31, and the ratchet wheel 35 also functions as a drag washer. Between the main gear 31 and the drag washer 33 and between the main gear 31 and the ratchet wheel 35, for example, a carbon graphite or felt drag disk (not shown) is mounted.

  As described above, the third gear member 82 is coupled to the shaft portion 68b of the second carrier 68 so as to be integrally rotatable. The third gear member 82 meshes with the main gear 31 and transmits the rotation of the handle 2 to the second carrier 68 of the second planetary gear mechanism 61. The transmitted rotation is transmitted to the pinion gear 32 via the first gear member 80 and the second gear member 81.

<Configuration of braking mechanism>
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the braking mechanism 26 includes a braking member 83 coupled to the second carrier 68 so as to be integrally rotatable, and a braking operation member 84 capable of operating the braking member 83. . The braking member 83 is a disk-shaped member, and is arranged side by side with the third gear member 82 in the chamfered portion 68c of the shaft portion 68b of the second carrier 68 at the center. At the center of the brake member 83, an engagement hole 83a having a parallel surface connected to the chamfered portion 68c so as to be integrally rotatable is formed. The brake member 83 is prevented from coming off together with the third gear member 82 by a shaft retaining ring (for example, E-type retaining ring) 85 mounted in an annular groove 68e formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 68b.

  The braking operation member 84 is movably provided between a separation position where the braking operation member 84 is separated from the braking member 83 and a braking position where the braking operation member 84 is in contact with the braking member 83. The braking operation member 84 is guided by a guide cylinder 86 (an example of a guide member) fixed to the second side cover 8b so as to be able to advance and retract along the radial direction of the braking member 83 between the separation position and the braking position.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the guide tube 86 is disposed such that a later-described pressing portion 90 of the braking operation member 84 faces the front lower side from the outer surface of the second side cover 8 b of the reel body 1. On the outer peripheral surface of the guide tube 86, a step portion 86a and a fixing screw portion 86b are formed. The guide tube 86 is formed with a small diameter on the first end (upper surface in FIG. 6) side and a large diameter on the second end side with the stepped portion 86a as a boundary. A threaded portion 86 b is formed on the outer peripheral surface on the first end side of the guide tube 86. A circular guide hole 86c is formed in the guide tube 86. A pair of locking grooves 86d for preventing the brake operation member 84 from rotating are formed in the guide hole 86c along the moving direction of the brake operation member 84. The guide tube 86 is disposed through the fixing hole 8e formed in the second side cover 8b, and the screw portion 86b is in the second side cover while the stepped portion 86a is in contact with the back surface of the second side cover 8b. It protrudes from the surface of 8b. The guide tube 86 is fixed to the second side cover 8b by a nut member 88 that is screwed into the protruding screw portion 86b. A small diameter through hole 86e communicating with the guide hole 86c is formed on one end surface of the guide cylinder 86.

The braking operation member 84 is a member that can move between a separation position shown in FIG. 5 and a braking position that has advanced from the separation position. The braking operation member 84 includes a bolt-shaped pressing operation portion 89 (an example of an operation portion of the braking operation member 84) and a pressing portion 90 to which the pressing operation portion 89 is screwed and fixed. The pressing operation unit 89 is disposed so as to protrude from the outer surface of the reel body 1. The pressing operation part 89 has a head part 89a and a shaft part 89b. The surface of the head 89a is formed in a concave shape so as to be slightly curved toward the center, and has a shape that can be easily pressed with a fingertip. A male screw 89c for connecting to the pressing portion 90 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 89b. The pressing portion 90 is a shaft-shaped member, and is formed from the first shaft portion 90a and the first shaft portion 90a. It has a guided part 90b having a large diameter and a second shaft part 90c having a diameter smaller than that of the guided part 90b. The first shaft portion 90a protrudes outside the second side cover 8b through the through hole 86e. A screw hole 90d extending to the position of the guided portion 90b is formed at the center of the distal end surface of the first shaft portion 90a. A pressing operation portion 89 is screwed into the screw hole 90d and fixed. The upper surface of the guided portion 90b in FIG. 5 can contact a step surface 86f between the through hole 86e and the guide hole 86c of the guide tube 86. The guided portion 90b is formed with a guide surface 90e that engages with the guide hole 86c of the guide tube 86, and a locking projection 90f that is locked to the locking groove 86d. Accordingly, the pressing portion 90 can be moved between the braking position and the separation position along the guide tube 86 while being prevented from rotating.

  A contact groove 90g that is recessed in an arc shape so as to engage with the outer peripheral surface of the braking member 83 is formed on the distal end surface of the second shaft portion 90c. The pressing portion 90 is urged toward the separation position by an urging member 91 in the form of a coil spring, for example. As shown in FIG. 5, the separation position is a position where the guided portion 90b contacts the step surface 86f described above. Therefore, normally, the braking operation member 84 is disposed at the separation position. The biasing member 91 is arranged in a compressed state with one end contacting the guided portion 90b and the other end contacting the locking washer 92. The locking washer 92 is retained by a hole retaining ring 93 in the form of a C-shaped retaining ring, for example. The hole retaining ring 93 is mounted in an annular groove 86g formed in the guide hole 86c.

<Operation of spool drive mechanism>
First, the operation of winding the spool 10 by the motor 12 by operating the adjustment lever 5 will be described. When the second output shaft 12b of the motor 12 rotates in the yarn winding direction (for example, clockwise in FIG. 2), the first sun gear 62 rotates in the yarn winding direction to rotate the first planetary gear 63 and rotate the internal gear 65. And revolve by decelerating in the yarn winding direction. Thereby, the first carrier 64 is decelerated and rotated in the yarn winding direction (for example, clockwise in FIG. 2), and the second sun gear 66 is decelerated and rotated in the yarn winding direction. When the second sun gear 66 rotates in the yarn winding direction, the second planetary gear 67 rotates and the second carrier 68 tries to rotate in the yarn unwinding direction (clockwise in FIG. 2). However, in the second carrier 68, the third gear member 82 is engaged with the main gear 31, and the rotation of the main gear 31 in the yarn feeding direction (clockwise opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2) is restricted by the drag mechanism 28. Has been. For this reason, the second carrier 68 does not rotate unless the drag mechanism 28 operates. Accordingly, the second planetary gear 67 decelerates and rotates the internal gear 65 in the counterclockwise direction shown in FIG. 2, which is opposite to the second sun gear 66, without revolving around the second sun gear 66. As a result, the first gear member 80 that rotates integrally with the internal gear 65 rotates in the counterclockwise yarn winding direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. Then, the spool 10 rotates with respect to the motor 12 through the second gear member 81 and the pinion gear 32 at a reduction ratio of, for example, about 1/20 to 1/30 with respect to the motor 12.

  Next, the winding operation of the spool 10 by the handle 2 will be described. When the handle 2 is rotated in the yarn winding direction (clockwise indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2), the main gear 31 rotates in the same direction, and the rotation is based on the ratio of the number of teeth of the main gear 31 and the third gear member 82. The speed is increased, and the third gear member 82 rotates at an increased speed in the yarn winding direction (counterclockwise indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2). As a result, the second carrier 68 rotates in the same direction. Thus, the second planetary gear 67 meshing with the internal gear 65 and the second sun gear 66 revolves around the second sun gear 66 while rotating. Due to this revolution, the second sun gear 66 rotates in the same direction as the second carrier 68 (counterclockwise in FIG. 2). When the second sun gear 66 is rotated in the yarn winding direction, the first carrier 64 that rotates integrally with the second sun gear 66 rotates in the same direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 2). When the first carrier 64 rotates in the yarn winding direction, the first planetary gear 63 rotates, and the first sun gear 62 tries to rotate in the yarn unwinding direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 2). However, the first sun gear 62 cannot rotate because the first output shaft 12a is prohibited from rotating in the yarn unwinding direction by the reverse rotation prohibiting portion 23. For this reason, the internal gear 65 is rotated in the yarn winding direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 2). The gear ratio at this time is approximately “1”. Then, the first gear member 80 that rotates integrally with the internal gear 65 rotates in the same direction at the same rotational speed as the internal gear 65, and the rotation is slightly increased to the pinion gear 32 via the second gear member 81. The spool 10 is rotated at an increased speed in the yarn winding direction.

  On the other hand, if the fishing line is pulled with a force stronger than the drag force set during the winding by the motor 12, the drag mechanism 28 may operate and the fishing line may not be wound up. In this case, the main gear 31 slips and rotates in the yarn delivery direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 2), the rotation is transmitted to the third gear member 82, and the second carrier 68 in the yarn delivery direction (clockwise in FIG. 2). Rotate. As a result, the rotation of the second carrier 68 causes the second planetary gear 67 to revolve, the rotation of the second sun gear 66 is not transmitted to the internal gear 65, and the spool 10 cannot be wound up by the motor 12.

  In such a case, the pressing operation portion 89 of the braking operation member 84 of the braking mechanism 26 is pressed and moved from the separation position to the braking position. As a result, the braking member 83 is braked, and the rotation of the second carrier 68 in the yarn unwinding direction is stopped or reduced. As a result, the rotation of the motor 12 is transmitted to the spool 10 and the fishing line winding operation by the motor 12 can be resumed. At this time, the braking force for braking the braking member 83 can be adjusted by adjusting the force for pressing the pressing operation unit 89. For this reason, the winding operation can be resumed quickly, and the pressing force can be adjusted according to the pulling of the fish. That is, when a fish is pulled strongly with a thin fishing line, the pressing force is weakened and the second carrier 68 is slightly rotated in the line-feeding direction, so that the motor 12 can wind up the fishing line slightly. When the fish pulling is weakened, the pressing force is increased to stop the second carrier 68, so that the drag mechanism 28 is prevented from slipping and the fishing line can be wound up without being fed out.

<Features>
(A) The spool drive mechanism 13 is a device that drives the spool 10 mounted on the reel body 1 of the electric reel. The spool drive mechanism 13 includes a motor 12 that drives the spool 10 in the yarn winding direction, a reverse rotation prohibiting portion 23, a first rotation transmission mechanism 24, a second rotation transmission mechanism 25, and a braking mechanism 26. . The reverse rotation prohibiting unit 23 prohibits reverse rotation of the motor 12 in the yarn feeding direction. The first rotation transmission mechanism 24 has a planetary reduction mechanism 42 that decelerates the rotation of the motor 12, and transmits the rotation of the motor 12 to the spool 10. The second rotation transmission mechanism 25 includes a drag mechanism 28 that brakes the rotation of the spool 10 in the yarn unwinding direction. The second rotation transmission mechanism 25 is connected to the second carrier 68 of the planetary reduction mechanism 42 and is mounted on the reel body 1 so as to be rotatable in the yarn winding direction. The rotation of the handle 2 thus transmitted is transmitted to the spool 10 via the planetary reduction mechanism 42. The braking mechanism 26 brakes the second carrier 68 of the planetary reduction mechanism 42.

In the spool driving mechanism 13, when the spool 10 is driven by the motor 12, the rotation is transmitted to the spool 10 via the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 having the planetary speed reduction mechanism 42. The planetary reduction mechanism 42 of the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 is connected to the drag mechanism 28 of the second rotation transmission mechanism 25 via the second carrier 68. For this reason, even during the electric winding, when the spool 10 rotates in the yarn unwinding direction, the drag mechanism 28 brakes the rotation of the spool 10 in the yarn unwinding direction. At this time, if the drag force is weak and the fishing line cannot be wound up, the braking mechanism 26 is operated. Then, the second carrier 68 of the planetary speed reduction mechanism 42 is braked. When the second carrier 68 is braked, the slippage by the drag mechanism 28 connected via the second carrier 68 is eliminated or reduced, and the feeding of the fishing line is stopped or reduced, so that the winding by the motor 12 can be resumed.
Here, since the braking mechanism 26 that brakes the second carrier 68 of the planetary speed reduction mechanism 42 connected to the drag mechanism 28 is provided, even if the drag force is weak and the fishing line cannot be wound up, the braking mechanism 26 causes the second carrier to be wound. When the brake 68 is braked, the slippage caused by the drag mechanism 28 is eliminated or reduced. For this reason, even if the drag mechanism 28 is operated and the motor 12 can no longer be wound, the winding by the motor 12 can be resumed instantaneously.

  (B) In the spool drive mechanism 13, the brake mechanism 26 includes a brake member 83 and a brake operation member 84. The braking member 83 is coupled to the second carrier 68 so as to be integrally rotatable. The brake operation member 84 is provided movably between a separation position where the brake operation member 84 is separated from the brake member 83 and a brake position where the brake operation member 84 is in contact with the brake member 83, and the brake member 83 can be operated for braking.

  In this case, the second carrier 68 is not braked directly, but the braking member 83 connected to the second carrier 68 is braked by the braking operation member 84. Therefore, by arranging the braking member 83 at an appropriate position, the braking operation member 84 can be arranged at a position where the angler can easily operate.

  (C) In the spool drive mechanism 13, the planetary reduction mechanism 42 includes a first planetary gear mechanism 60 and a second planetary gear mechanism 61. The first planetary gear mechanism 60 has a first sun gear 62, a first planetary gear 63, a first carrier 64, and an internal gear 65. The second planetary gear mechanism 61 has a second sun gear 66, a second planetary gear 67, and a second carrier 68. The first sun gear 62 is coupled to the second output shaft 12b of the motor 12 so as to be integrally rotatable. The first planetary gear 63 is at least one gear that meshes with the first sun gear 62. The first carrier 64 rotatably supports the first planetary gear 63 and is rotatable around the second output shaft 12b. The internal gear 65 meshes with the first planetary gear 63. The second sun gear 66 is coupled to the first carrier 64 so as to be integrally rotatable. The second planetary gear 67 is at least one gear that meshes with the second sun gear 66 and the internal gear 65. The second carrier 68 rotatably supports the second planetary gear 67 and is rotatable around the second output shaft 12b. The second carrier 68 is connected to the second rotation transmission mechanism 25, and the braking member 83 is connected to the second carrier 68 so as to be integrally rotatable.

  In this case, since the planetary reduction mechanism 42 has the two planetary gear mechanisms 60 and 61, the rotation of the motor 12 can be greatly reduced. Further, the second carrier 68 is connected to the second rotation transmission mechanism 25 having the drag mechanism 28, and the braking member 83 is connected to the second carrier 68 so as to be integrally rotatable. For this reason, the distance between the drag mechanism 28 and the braking member 83 is reduced, and the braking mechanism 26 can easily eliminate slipping of the drag mechanism 28 in an instant.

  (D) In the spool drive mechanism 13, the brake member 83 is a disk-shaped member. The braking operation member 84 is a shaft member that can advance and retract along the radial direction of the braking member 83 between a separation position that is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the braking member 83 and a braking position that is in contact with the outer peripheral surface. In this case, since it contacts the outer peripheral surface of the braking member 83 of the disc member, the braking force can be adjusted by the pressing operation of the braking operation member 84, and the braking operation becomes easy.

(E) In the spool drive mechanism 13, the brake mechanism 26 further includes a guide cylinder 86 that is mounted on the reel body 1 and supports the brake operation member 84 so as to be movable forward and backward along the radial direction. In this case, since the braking operation member 84 is guided not by the reel body 1 but by the guide tube 86 attached to the reel body 1, it is not necessary to provide the guide structure for the braking operation member 84 in the reel body 1. The structure is simplified.
(F) In the spool drive mechanism 13, the braking operation member 84 is not rotatable with respect to the reel body 1. In this case, even if the braking operation member 84 is a shaft member, the contact surface with the braking member 83 can be maintained constant because it does not rotate around the axis during operation.

  (G) The spool driving mechanism 13 further includes a biasing member 91 that biases the braking operation member 84 toward the separation position. In this case, since the braking operation member 84 is advanced and retracted by the operation force for operating the braking operation member 84, the braking force can be finely adjusted by the operation force. For this reason, it is possible to finely feed or wind up the fishing line by using the thin fishing line and changing the braking force slightly.

  (H) In the spool driving mechanism 13, the pressing operation portion 89 of the braking operation member 84 is disposed so as to protrude from the outer surface of the reel body 1 so as to face the front lower side on the fishing line feeding side. In this case, the pressing operation portion 89 of the braking operation member 84 is disposed so as to protrude from the outer surface of the second side cover 8b toward the front lower side. For this reason, in the case of a small electric reel that often uses a thin fishing line, the braking operation member can be operated with the fingertip of the palming hand.

  (I) In the spool drive mechanism 13, the motor 12 is fixed to the reel body 1 outside the spool 10. The first rotation transmission mechanism 24 further includes a first gear member 80, a second gear member 81, and a pinion gear 32. The first gear member 80 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1 and can rotate integrally with the internal gear 65. The second gear member 81 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1 and meshes with the first gear member 80. The pinion gear 32 is rotatably mounted around the spool shaft 14 of the spool 10 and meshes with the second gear member 81.

  In this case, since the motor 12 is disposed outside the spool 10, the spool 10 can be reduced in size. Further, the rotation from the motor 12 and the handle 2 is transmitted from the first gear member 80 that rotates integrally with the internal gear 65 to the pinion gear 32 via the second gear member 81. For this reason, the rotation can be transmitted to the pinion gear 32 using the same path by the motor 12 and the handle 2.

  (J) In the spool drive mechanism 13, the second rotation transmission mechanism 25 further includes a main gear 31 and a third gear member 82. The main gear 31 is rotatably mounted on the handle shaft 30 of the handle 2. The third gear member 82 is provided so as to be integrally rotatable with the second carrier 68 and meshes with the main gear 31. The drag mechanism 28 applies an adjustable braking force between the handle shaft 30 and the main gear 31. In this case, when the motor 12 is driven, if the fishing line is fed out exceeding the drag force set for fish pulling, the second carrier 68 rotates and the driving force by the motor 12 is not transmitted to the spool. However, when the second carrier 68 is braked by the braking mechanism 26, the rotation of the second carrier 68 is reduced or stopped, and the winding by the motor 12 becomes possible.

<Other embodiments>
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention.

  (A) In the above-described embodiment, the second carriers of the two planetary gear mechanisms 60 and 61 are configured to brake. However, when the planetary reduction mechanism has three or more planets, the last stage carrier is used. What is necessary is just to make it brake.

  (B) In the above embodiment, the motor 12 is disposed outside the spool 10, but the present invention can also be applied to a spool driving mechanism of an electric reel in which the motor is disposed in the spool. In this case, since the second carrier is disposed on the rotation axis of the spool, for example, it is preferable to dispose the braking operation member so as to protrude rearward of the reel.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the braking operation member 84 is guided using the guide cylinder 86 as a guide member. However, a guide structure may be provided on the reel body.
