Description

  The present invention relates to an electric reel for fishing.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an electric reel for fishing, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, an operation member that winds a spool (operating continuously and variably operates an output of a drive motor) is a lever type, and the reel A configuration is disclosed in which it is rotatably supported on one side plate of the main body.

  Recently, a compact fishing reel has been commercialized so that it can be operated by hand. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a configuration in which a cylindrical operation member (dial-type operation member) is supported so as to be able to rotate in the front-rear direction behind a control case that houses a control unit that controls a drive motor. Yes. In the electric fishing reel configured as described above, the fishing rod can be held by holding the fishing rod with the hand on the side opposite to the handle, so that the thumb can be applied to the operation member and rolled back and forth. Thus, the output of the drive motor can be adjusted. This patent document also discloses a configuration in which a lever portion is formed on a part of the surface of a cylindrical operation member (FIG. 31).

Japanese Patent No. 297978 JP2012-10696A

  In the electric fishing reel disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the output of the drive motor can be adjusted when the reel body is gripped by one hand and the fishing rod is gripped by the other hand. Since it cannot be performed, there exists a problem that operativity is inferior. For example, when a large fish is hung or when a fishing rod is attached to the rod keeper, the reel body is held with one hand and the fishing rod in front of the reel body is held with the other hand. The drive motor cannot be driven to rotate.

  Further, the dial-type operation member disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a problem that it is difficult to reliably rotate it by picking it with a finger of a hand. In this case, as shown in FIG. 31, even if the lever part is formed on a part of the surface of the cylindrical part, only the part of the cylindrical part to be rolled is protruded. It is difficult to perform a stable rotation operation by reliably picking it with a finger, and the sitting of the finger is not stable, making it difficult to perform a delicate rotation operation.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric fishing reel having an operation member with good operability of output adjustment of a drive motor.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, an electric fishing reel according to the present invention is provided between left and right side plates of a reel body, is provided with a spool on which a fishing line is wound, and is provided on the reel body, and rotates the spool. A drive motor that is driven, and an operation member that is rotatably supported in the front-rear direction between the left and right side plates, and that adjusts the output of the drive motor, and the operation member is disposed in a central region of the left and right side plates. It has a planar operation part formed, and a step part formed on at least one side part of the operation part and to which a finger placed on the operation part abuts.

  In the electric fishing reel having the above-described configuration, the operation member that adjusts the output of the drive motor has a planar operation portion located in the central region of the left and right side plates, so that this portion should be picked and operated. As a result, the operability of the output adjustment of the drive motor can be improved. In addition, when a finger is placed on a flat operation part, a stepped part is formed on the side part of the finger so that the finger sits on the operation part and the subtle rotation operation is easy. Become. Furthermore, since the operation part is formed in the center area | region of the left-right side board, stabilization at the time of operating can be aimed at.

The spool shaft 7a (see FIG. 7), which is a rotating shaft, is supported so as to be rotatable. Further, reel legs 5a for mounting the reel body on the fishing rod R (see FIGS. 10 to 12) are formed between the left and right frames.

  In this embodiment, the drive motor 8 is held between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B on the front side of the spool 7, and the spool 7 is driven by the winding operation of the manual handle 6 and the drive of the drive motor 8 to drive the power transmission mechanism. 10 is rotated in the fishing line winding direction.

  The drive motor 8 may be configured to be installed inside the spool 7. However, as shown in the present embodiment, the drive motor 8 is installed in front of the spool 7, so that the reel 7 can be secured while securing the amount of winding of the spool 7. The main body 5 can be made as compact as possible. According to the present invention, when a certain large fish hits, the operation can be stably operated while holding the reel body with one hand and holding the fishing rod in front of the reel body with the other hand. The operation member has a lever portion that can be gripped with a finger and can be stably operated. Therefore, such an operation member is preferably applied to a relatively large electric fishing reel. Specifically, the operation member according to the present invention is preferably applied to an electric fishing reel provided with a spool capable of winding PE line No. 5 by 300 m or more.

  The power transmission mechanism 10 has a function of reducing the rotational driving force of the drive motor 8 and transmitting it to the spool 7 side (performed by the speed reduction mechanism 12 and the transmission belt 13 (see FIG. 4)), and the drive motor 8 rotates. It can be configured by a known device having a function of preventing the manual handle 6 from being rotated even when driven, a function of preventing reverse rotation of the manual handle 6 (including the ratchet 14), and the like. Further, such a power transmission mechanism 10 may be disposed on the left side plate 5A side, may be disposed on the right side plate 5B side, or is allocated to each of the left and right side plates. May be. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 16 denotes a handle shaft coupled to the handle 6, reference numeral 18 denotes a drive gear rotatably supported by the handle shaft 16, and reference numeral 20 denotes a pinion that meshes with the drive gear 18. These constitute the power transmission mechanism 10 described above. In the figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a known drag mechanism that applies a drag force to the rotation of the spool 7 when the fishing line is fed out from the spool 7 during fishing, and between the reel body 5 and the handle 6. A star-shaped drag adjustment knob (star drag) 22 for adjusting the drag force by the drag mechanism 21 is provided.

  Between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B in front of the spool 7, a known level wind mechanism 23 having a function of winding the fishing line equally around the spool 7 is installed. A box-shaped control case 102 containing a control unit 100 (including control boards 100A and 100B) for controlling the drive motor 8 is disposed above the spool 7 between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B constituting the reel body 5. It is arranged. The control case 102 of the present embodiment is configured to be flush with the surfaces of the left and right side plates 5A and 5B constituting the reel body.

  The control unit 100 accommodated in the control case 102 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) for controlling the operation of the fishing electric reel, various programs for measuring the yarn length, and variably controlling the output of the drive motor, It is equipped with a control board (microcomputer) mounted with ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores setting information, RAM (Random Access Memory) as a temporary storage area, and a circuit board mounted with various drive circuits. The signal is transmitted to and received from each actuating element to control the operation. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 100 according to the present embodiment is configured by arranging the control board 100A and the circuit board 100B in the vertical direction, but these are configured by a single board. Also good.

  A known clutch mechanism 30 (see FIG. 5) is provided in the reel body 5 to switch the spool 7 between a fishing line winding state and a free rotation state by moving the pinion 20 in the axial direction. The clutch mechanism 30 has a function of interposing / disconnecting power transmission from the manual handle 6 and the drive motor 8 by being interposed in the power transmission mechanism 10, and is installed on the right side plate 5B side in this embodiment. The clutch plate 31 constituting the clutch mechanism 30 is engaged with a clutch OFF switching member 32 that switches power transmission from the ON state to the OFF state, and a clutch ON switching member 33 that switches power transmission from the OFF state to the ON state. Yes.

  The clutch OFF switching member 32 in the present embodiment is configured to be bridged between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B on the rear side of the spool 7 so that the spool 7 can be operated while summing it. From this state, the clutch mechanism 30 is switched from the ON state to the OFF state by placing a thumb on the operation portion 32a on the surface and pushing it downward. The clutch OFF switching member 32 is distributed and held between a clutch ON position and a clutch OFF position (not shown) shown in FIG. 5 by a distribution holding spring 35 engaged with the clutch plate 31.

Further, the clutch ON switching member 33 in the present embodiment is installed on the right side plate 5B side, and is distributed and held by the distribution holding spring 35 so as to be swingable between the clutch ON position and the clutch OFF position. Yes. In this case, the clutch ON switching member 33 is substantially flush with the surface of the right side plate 5B in the clutch ON state as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, and protrudes from the surface of the right side plate 5B in the clutch OFF state. It is like that. This clutch ON switching member 33 can be easily turned on from the state where the fishing line wound on the spool 7 is summed up at the abdomen of the thumb (the thumb reaches the rear end side of the left side plate as a fulcrum). It is preferable that it is installed on the side slightly behind the wound fishing line.
In addition, the clutch ON switching member 33 may be configured by an electric type (for example, using a solenoid) in addition to the mechanical type that is swung as described above. The clutch OFF switching member 32 and the integral member may be used.

  The reel body 5 is provided with a power feeding unit 38 for supplying power to the drive motor 8. The power supply unit 38 is formed in a lower surface region on the front side of the left side plate 5A. A removable portable battery (not shown) is attached to the power supply unit 38 or placed on the feet. A power supply cord 38a (see FIG. 12) that is supplied with power from a battery or a power supply unit installed on the fishing boat is attached.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the control case 102 is located above the spool 7 and has a rotating shaft (this rotating shaft is a spool because the drive motor 8 is disposed outside the spool 7 in this embodiment. The shaft 7a is applicable, but in another form in which the drive motor 8 is arranged inside the spool 7, the spool shaft 7a does not exist and the rotation shaft of the motor 8 is applicable. It has a size that covers it.

  An operation member 40 that adjusts the output of the drive motor 8 is disposed at the rear portion of the control case 102. The operation member 40 of the present embodiment is rotatably supported by the support shaft 41 between the left and right side plates, and the operation member 40 is disposed along the rear end edge 102a of the control case 102. The support shaft 41 is disposed substantially parallel to the spool shaft 7a, so that the operation member 40 is also exposed on the spool side, and in addition to the front-rear direction (plan view shown in FIG. 1), the vertical direction It is comprised so that it can rotate toward (rear view shown in FIG. 3). In addition, about the operation member 40, the structure which forms the recessed part toward the front in the rear-end edge 102a of the control case 102, and supports it rotatably with respect to a control case may be sufficient.

  The operation member 40 is supported between the left and right side plates, and has a planar operation portion 42 in the central area thereof, and at least one side portion of the planar operation portion 42 (in this embodiment, formed on both sides). And a stepped portion 43 to which the finger abuts when the finger (thumb) is placed on the operation unit 42.

  The operation portion 42 is formed in a plate shape and has a flat surface, and is large enough to allow the abdomen of the thumb to be placed (the width W between the step portions is about 12 to 30 mm; see FIG. 9). Is formed. Further, the stepped portion 43 may be anything that restricts the movement of the finger in the axial direction when a finger is placed on the operation portion 42. In this embodiment, the stepped portion 43 is provided on both sides of the operation portion 42. The substantially cylindrical member 45 which produces the level | step difference which becomes high with respect to the surface of this is comprised integrally. Specifically, the thickness T (see FIG. 6) of the stepped portion is preferably set to, for example, about 1 to 6 mm, so that the sitting of the finger placed on the operation unit can be stabilized. Become.

  The substantially cylindrical member 45 formed on both sides of the operation portion 42 can be rolled in the front-rear direction with a thumb applied to the surface thereof, and serves as a dial-like operation portion that can be rotated. It has a function (hereinafter referred to as a dial-like operation unit 45). The axial length L of the dial-like operation part 45 is easily rotated in the vertical direction by applying the thumb from the lower side (from the surface of the spool) or easily pressed in the front-rear direction by pressing from the upper side. It is preferable that it is about 3-15 mm so that it can be operated. Moreover, in such a structure, it is preferable to form the unevenness | corrugation 45a etc. which continue in the circumferential direction on the surface of the dial-shaped operation part 45, and, thereby, it rotates without sliding the applied finger | toe Operation can be performed easily and stably.

  The operation unit 42 may be configured as a flat surface. However, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a recess 42a is formed on the surface so that the sitting is stable when a finger is placed. It is preferable to keep it. For this reason, the circumference | surroundings 42b of a recessed part will be in the raised state, and when a finger | toe is mounted in the recessed part 42a, an abdominal part will be stabilized and operability will come to be improved. Further, on the surface of the concave portion 42a, means (slip suppressing portion) for suppressing slidability and improving operability, for example, as shown in the figure, a plurality of protrusions 42c along the spindle direction are formed. It is preferable to attach a high friction member or the like (not shown). As a result, it is possible to suppress slippage on the surface and perform a stable operation. Furthermore, it is preferable that the edge 42b 'of the periphery 42b is a curved surface in a cross-sectional view. That is, by providing such a curved surface, the finger placed when the operation unit 42 is pushed up by shifting the finger placed on the recess 42a backward is improved, and the operability is improved.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the operation unit 42 is preferably disposed so as to be substantially in the same direction as the surface of the control case 102 when the output of the drive motor 8 is zero. By adopting such an arrangement mode, in the state where the output of the drive motor is zero (waiting for a fish hit), the thumb can be placed on the operation unit 42 as it is, and the function as a thumb rest can be achieved. It can also be demonstrated.

  The dial-like operation part 45 is preferably formed on both sides of the operation part 42 as described above in consideration of operability, and the operation part 42 is radially outward from the surface of the dial-like operation part 45. It is preferable to form in a size that protrudes in the direction. As a result, the operation unit 42 can be easily picked with a finger, and can be easily pushed up while summing the spool. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the operation unit 42 is configured so that the axial width decreases as it moves to the tip, thereby making it difficult to entangle the yarn and improving finger contact and making it easy to rotate. can do. Furthermore, it is preferable to set the height H of the operation portion 42 (the height from the center of the support shaft 41 to the tip edge; see FIG. 9) to about 10 to 20 mm. If it is 10 mm or more, the speed of the drive motor can be easily picked up from zero to just before the MAX, and as shown in FIG. 11, it is picked up easily even when the speed is MAX (when it is most tilted). It is possible to prevent the operation from being obstructed even when the spool is summing by setting it to 20 mm or less.

  In the above-described configuration, the substantially cylindrical shape constituting the dial-like operation unit 45 is a concept that includes a solid portion inside or a portion having a hollow portion in whole or in part. As for the outer shape, not only an accurate cylindrical shape, but also an unevenness 45a as shown in the figure or a protrusion (not shown) capable of pressing a finger is formed. Also good. Alternatively, it may be provided with an outer shape such that the middle part in the axial direction bulges or is depressed, such that the abdomen of the thumb can abut in the axial direction and can be rotated. In addition, the rotating surface may protrude from the surface of the control case 102 or may be substantially flush.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the support shaft 41 is provided with detection means for detecting the operation angle of the operation section 42 and the dial-shaped operation section 45, specifically, an angle sensor 110. An operation position signal corresponding to the rotational position is output. That is, the angle sensor 110 outputs an operation signal according to the operation position of the operation unit 42 (dial-shaped operation unit 45), and the output of the drive motor 8 can be adjusted according to the operation position of each operation unit. It has become. The angle sensor 110 only needs to have a function of generating a signal corresponding to the operation angle of each operation unit 42, 45. For example, a change in resistance value corresponding to the operation amount of the operation member is output. Applying a variety of structures, such as those equipped with potentiometers, those equipped with magnets to detect changes in the magnetic field according to the rotational position, and those equipped with an encoder that generates pulses according to the operation amount Is possible.

  The support shaft 41 is rotatably supported so as to be substantially parallel to the rotation shaft (spool shaft 7 a) of the spool 7, and the operation member 40 is arranged along the rear end edge of the control case 102. Therefore, the operation unit 42 and the dial-like operation unit 45 can be displaced substantially in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. In particular, since the operation unit 42 is in a state of being depressed by the stepped portion 43, when the thumb is brought into contact with the surface of the operation unit 42, the position of the thumb is not greatly shifted, and the center of gravity of the reel body or the power supply The operability is not deteriorated against a torsional load caused by a force applied to the portion 38 (a force caused by a rotational load about the longitudinal axis of the fishing rod R due to a force pulled by the power supply cord or a heavy load of the portable battery). In this case, considering the lateral displacement of the position of the finger (thumb) when the operation unit 42 is rotated, the above substantially parallel range is within a range of ± 30 ° with respect to the rotation axis of the spool 7. If it is good. That is, within the range of ± 30 °, even if the operation unit 42 is freely rotated with the reel body 5 being gripped, the finger (thumb) is not easily displaced laterally, and the reel body is gripped. The balance at the time of holding does not deteriorate.

  As described above, the control case 102 houses the control unit 100 that controls the drive of the drive motor 8 (see FIG. 6), and corresponds to the amount of rotation operation of the operation unit 42 (dial-shaped operation unit 45). The output of the drive motor 8 is adjusted. In this case, the control unit 100 is set so that the output of the drive motor 8 increases by rotating the operation units 42 and 45 forward. Thus, the clutch is turned off and the fishing line is drawn out, and the clutch is turned on and the fishing line is wound up frequently (the bottom is removed with tension applied to the mechanism (generally called bottom fishing near the seabed) In this case, the operation of adjusting the line feed amount in accordance with the water depth) is carried out by extending the thumb as it is and pushing up the operation part 42 and the dial-like operation part 45. The picking operation can be performed instantly, and the operability can be improved.

  The relationship between the rotational operation amount of the operation unit 42 (dial-like operation unit 45) and the output of the drive motor 8 is arbitrary. In the present embodiment, the reference position of each operation unit 42, 45 (the position at which the operation unit 42 is substantially flush with the surface of the control case 102 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7) is set to zero output value of the motor. The motor output is set to Max when rotating forward approximately 120 °. Of course, it may be set so that the output of the drive motor 8 increases when the operation units 42 and 45 are rotated backward.

  The surface of the control case 102 is provided with a display section (liquid crystal display section) 120 for displaying the length of the fishing line (line length information) and the like, and various information is provided around it. A plurality of settable operation buttons 121a and 121b are provided. The operation buttons 121a and 121b receive various types of information from the angler, such as depth information for stopping the input mechanism at a desired depth and output range setting information for changing the variable range of the output of the drive motor 8. It has a function.

  The frame is provided with a line length measuring device (not shown) capable of detecting the amount of fishing line wound around the spool 7. When the spool 7 is rotationally driven by fishing line unwinding / winding, for example, the thread length measuring device detects the actual amount of rotation and the direction of rotation using a magnet mounted on the rotating part and a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnet. Then, the detection signal is generated, calculated by the control unit 100, and displayed on the display unit 120.

  Next, operations and effects of the fishing electric reel having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As described above, the operation member 40 that adjusts the output of the drive motor 8 in the present embodiment includes the operation unit 42 and the two dial operation units 45 formed on both sides of the operation unit 42. The motor output can be adjusted according to the situation, and the configuration is excellent in handling operability. In other words, assuming a hand-held state, a state where the fishing rod is placed on the rod keeper, or frequently removing the bottom (operation to release the fishing line by releasing the clutch, turn on the clutch and wind the fishing line a little) In addition, when the device collection mode (high-speed winding of the spool) is assumed, it is possible to select the operation units 42 and 45 that are easy for the angler to operate according to the situation.

  For example, in a state in which the reel body 5 is held together with the fishing rod R (waiting for a fish), or in a state in which a fishing rod is set on a rod keeper and used as a storage rod, as shown in FIG. The thumb of the hand holding 5 can be applied to the surface of the operation unit 42, and the function as a thumb rest can be exhibited. In this case, the stepped portion 43 exists on both sides of the operation portion 42, and the abdomen can be positioned in the recess 42a of the operation portion 42, so that the lateral movement of the finger is suppressed. To improve sitting.

  In this state, when the fish is hit and the spool 7 is wound up, the thumb placed on the operation unit 42 is moved backward, and the operation unit 42 is pushed up as shown in FIG. As a result, the spool can be easily wound and driven. In particular, in the state where the other hand (right hand) is holding the fishing rod R in front of the reel body 5, the winding operation can be performed without releasing the right hand. When hitting the rod keeper when setting the fishing rod, it is possible to shift to the winding operation on the rod without releasing the right hand holding the fishing rod R. This eliminates the certainty of the winding adjustment operation.

  In this case, with respect to the spool winding operation, not only the above-described mode but also the finger placed on the operation unit 42 is shifted to the left or right, applied to the dial-shaped operation unit 45, and rotated as it is. It is also possible to do this. That is, when the spool winding operation is performed while holding the reel body with one hand, the operation unit 42 is operated to be pushed up or the dial-shaped operation unit 45 is rolled according to the preference of the angler. And operability can be improved.

  In addition, the thumb is operated from the spool while summing the spool while holding the reel body with one hand, and when the fish rod is operated in a state where the other hand is operating the tilting or tilting operation. It is also possible to immediately shift to the winding operation by applying to the edge 42b 'of the part 42 or by applying it to the surface of the dial-like operation unit 45 and rotating it upward as it is.

  Further, since the operation portion 42 is formed in a planar shape, as shown in FIG. 12, the operation portion 42 can be operated by grasping this portion with a thumb and an index finger, as disclosed in Patent Document 1. The output adjustment of the drive motor can be performed in the same manner as the lever type operation member, and the operability can be improved. In particular, since the operation part 42 protrudes radially outward from the surface of the dial-like operation part 45 and is formed in the central region of the left and right side plates, it is easy to pick and feel without actually observing it. Stabilization at the time.

  As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, in the present invention, the operation member that adjusts the output of the drive motor has at least one of the planar operation unit 42 formed in the central region of the left and right side plates and the operation unit 42. Any structure may be used as long as it has a stepped portion 43 formed on the side portion of the device and to which a finger placed on the operation portion 42 is applied, and the installation position, installation method, and operation direction of the operation member are appropriately modified. Is possible. Further, the stepped portion 43 is not formed by the cylindrical member 45 but may be formed between the planar member similar to the operation portion 42. Further, the step portion may be formed only on one side.
