JP 2012-090645 A

  The adjustment member of the electric reel is different from the adjustment member that adjusts the output of a simple motor as a machine. That is, the adjustment of the output of the motor for the electric reel needs to be finely adjusted because it is exchanged with the fish. The angler places great importance on the delicately adjustable feeling of the adjustment member, and the delicate adjustment feeling also affects the angler's fishing results.

  With the adjustment member that adjusts the output of the motor by the conventional rotation operation, if the adjustment member rotates too smoothly, the adjustment member cannot be finely adjusted.

  An object of the present invention is to enable a delicate adjustment operation of an adjustment member that adjusts the output of an electric reel motor.

  The electric reel according to the present invention includes a reel body, a support shaft, a spool, a motor, an adjustment member, a first elastic member, and a control unit. The support shaft is provided on the reel body. The spool is rotatably provided on the reel body. The motor is provided in the reel body and rotationally drives the spool. The adjustment member has a through hole through which the support shaft can pass, and is rotatably supported by the support shaft. The first elastic member is disposed in direct or indirect contact between the reel body, the adjustment member, and the support shaft on the first side of the adjustment member. The control unit adjusts the output of the motor according to the rotation position of the adjustment member.

  In this electric reel, the adjustment member is supported on the support shaft via the first elastic member. The first elastic member is disposed on the first side of the adjustment member so as to be in direct or indirect contact with the reel body, the adjustment member, and the support shaft, and the adjustment member is supported on the support shaft via the first elastic member. . Here, the adjusting member can be brought into contact via the first elastic member without directly contacting the reel body and the support shaft. For this reason, it becomes possible to adjust the rotation of the adjusting member by changing the frictional resistance caused by the contact with the first elastic member, so that the adjusting member can be finely adjusted.

  The electric reel may further include a first washer member disposed between the first elastic member and the reel body. The first elastic member indirectly contacts the reel body via the first washer member. In this case, since the first elastic member is not in contact with the reel main body but in contact with the first washer member whose surface is smoother than the reel main body, the frictional resistance tends to be constant. For this reason, the adjustment operation of the adjustment member becomes smoother, and a more delicate adjustment operation of the adjustment member can be performed.

  The adjustment member may have a first contact surface that contacts and slides with the first elastic member on the first side. The first contact surface is a tapered surface inclined with respect to both the reel body and the support shaft. In this case, since the first elastic member is in contact with the adjustment member with the tapered surface, the first elastic member can receive the force in the axial direction and the radial direction of the adjustment member.

  The through hole may be disposed with a gap from the support shaft, and the first contact surface may be provided on the first side of the through hole. In this case, since the adjustment member does not directly contact the support shaft, the frictional resistance of the first elastic member is stabilized.

  The support shaft may be cantilevered by protruding from the reel body. In this case, since the support shaft is cantilevered, the degree of freedom in arranging the adjusting member is increased.

  The electric reel may further include a screw member that has a large-diameter head and can be screwed into the tip of the support shaft. The adjustment member is retained by the head of the screw member. In this case, the elastic deformation amount of the first elastic member can be adjusted by the screwing amount of the screw member, and the frictional force can be adjusted.

  The electric reel may further include a second elastic member arranged in direct or indirect contact with the screw member, the adjustment member, and the support shaft on the second side opposite to the first side of the adjustment member. Good. In this case, since the adjustment member is supported at both ends by the first elastic member and the second elastic member, a more delicate adjustment operation can be performed.

  At least one of the first elastic member and the second elastic member may be an O-ring. In this case, since the adjustment member can be supported using a commercially available O-ring, the support structure can be realized at low cost.

  The electric reel may further include a second washer member disposed between the head and the second elastic member. The second elastic member indirectly contacts the head of the screw member via the second washer member. In this case, since the second elastic member contacts the second washer member also on the second side of the adjustment member, the friction resistance acting on the adjustment member on the second side is constant in the support shaft that is cantilevered. The adjustment operation of the adjustment member becomes smoother and more delicate adjustment operation can be performed.

  The adjustment member may have a second contact surface that contacts and slides with the second elastic member. The second contact surface is a tapered surface inclined with respect to both the head of the screw member and the support shaft. In this case, since the second elastic member is in contact with the adjustment member with a tapered surface, the second elastic member can receive the force in the axial direction and the radial direction of the adjustment member.

  The through hole may be disposed with a gap from the support shaft, and the second contact surface may be provided on the second side of the through hole. In this case, since the first contact surface and the second contact surface are provided on both sides of the through hole, the first elastic member and the second elastic member can stably support the adjustment member.

  The support shaft may be supported at both ends by the reel body. In this case, since the adjustment member is supported at both ends by the reel body, the adjustment member can be operated from both the handle side and the direction opposite to the handle.

  The electric reel may further include a second elastic member disposed on the second side opposite to the first side of the adjustment member between the reel main body, the adjustment member, and the support shaft, in direct or indirect contact with each other. Good. In this case, since the adjustment member supported at both ends is supported at both ends by the first elastic member and the second elastic member on the first side and the second side, the adjustment member can be further finely adjusted.

  At least one of the first elastic member and the second elastic member may be an O-ring. In this case, since the adjustment member can be supported using a commercially available O-ring, the support structure can be realized at low cost.

  The electric reel may further include a second washer member disposed between the reel body and the second elastic member. The second elastic member indirectly contacts the reel body via the second washer member. In this case, since the second elastic member contacts the second washer member also on the second side of the adjustment member, the friction resistance acting on the adjustment member on the second side is constant in the support shaft supported at both ends, Adjustment operation of the adjustment member becomes smoother and fine adjustment operation of the adjustment member can be performed.

  The adjustment member may have a second contact surface that contacts and slides with the second elastic member. The second contact surface is a tapered surface inclined with respect to both the reel body and the support shaft. In this case, since the second elastic member is in contact with the adjustment member with a tapered surface, the second elastic member can receive the force in the axial direction and the radial direction of the adjustment member.

  The through hole may be disposed with a gap from the support shaft, and the second contact surface may be provided on the second side of the through hole. In this case, since the first contact surface and the second contact surface are provided on both sides of the through hole, the first elastic member and the second elastic member can stably support the adjustment member.

  The adjustment member may further include a first spacer provided at least between the first contact surface and the first elastic member in the through hole. In this case, since the first elastic member is in contact with the first spacer, the frictional force acting on the adjustment member is likely to be further constant on the first side.

  The adjustment member may further include a second spacer provided at least between the second contact surface and the second elastic member in the through hole. In this case, since the second elastic member is in contact with the second spacer, the frictional force acting on the adjustment member tends to be further constant on the second side.

  The adjustment member may further include a third spacer provided between the support shaft and the through hole in the through hole. In this case, since the spacer is provided in the entire through hole including the first contact surface and the second contact surface, the spacer can be formed with high accuracy.

  The adjustment member may rotate from an operation start position where the motor is stopped. The electric reel further includes a rotation restricting unit that restricts rotation of the adjustment member from the operation start position and rotation to the operation start position. In this case, since rotation from the operation start position is restricted, the adjustment member is unlikely to rotate from the adjustment start position against the user's will, and the motor is unlikely to rotate unexpectedly.

  The rotation restricting unit may restrict the rotation to the operation start position. In this case, the adjustment member is less likely to turn to the adjustment start position against the user's will, and the motor is less likely to stop unexpectedly.

The rotation restricting portion may include an engaging portion and a positioning pin. The engagement portion is provided on one of the reel body and the adjustment member, and has an engagement recess corresponding to the operation start position. The positioning pin is provided on the other of the reel body and the adjustment member , and is biased toward the engaging portion and engages with the engaging portion. In this case, when the rotation is restricted, the positioning pin is engaged with the engaging portion by the biased positioning pin and the rotation is restricted, so that a click feeling is obtained when the rotation is restricted, It is easy for the user to recognize that the rotation is restricted.

  The engaging portion is provided adjacent to the engaging recess, and has an arc recess formed in an arc shape around the axis of the support shaft, and a protrusion provided between the engagement recess and the arc recess. Furthermore, you may have. In this case, the rotation of the adjustment member is restricted by the protrusion provided at the boundary portion between the engagement recess and the arc recess.

  The engaging portion may be provided on the reel body, and the positioning pin may be provided on the adjustment member. In this case, since the positioning pin is provided on the moving adjustment member, a click feeling can be obtained.

  According to the present invention, the rotation of the adjustment member can be adjusted by the frictional resistance caused by the contact with the first elastic member, and a fine adjustment operation of the adjustment member can be performed.

  A clutch pin 16a constituting the clutch mechanism 16 is attached to the second bearing 18b side of the spool fixing portion of the spool shaft 14 so as to penetrate in the radial direction.

<Clutch mechanism>
As shown in FIG. 3, the clutch mechanism 16 includes a clutch pin 16 a and a clutch recess 16 b formed in a cross shape along the radial direction on the left end surface of the pinion gear 32 in FIG. 3. The pinion gear 32 constitutes the clutch mechanism 16 and the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 described later of the spool drive mechanism 13. The pinion gear 32 moves along the direction of the spool shaft 14 between a clutch-on position shown in FIG. 3 and a clutch-off position on the right side of 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. For this reason, the clutch mechanism 16 is in a clutch-off state, and the spool 10 can freely rotate.

<Clutch control mechanism>
The clutch control mechanism 20 swings the clutch operating member 11 between the clutch-on position shown by a solid line in FIG. 7 and the clutch-off position shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

The clutch yoke 41 has a cam receiving portion (not shown) that engages with the cam portion 40a of the clutch cam 40 and an arc portion 41a that engages with the pinion gear 32, and the clutch cam 40 is moved from the first position to the second position. When it is rotated to the position, it moves from the clutch-on position to the clutch-off position outward in the spool axis direction (right side in FIG. 5). As a result, the pinion gear 32 moves outward in the axial direction (right side in FIG. 5), the engagement between the pinion gear 32 and the clutch pin 16a is released, and the clutch mechanism 16 enters the clutch-off state. The clutch yoke 41 is guided in the axial direction by a pair of guide shafts 49 mounted on the mechanism mounting plate 19b. The clutch yoke 41 is urged toward the clutch-on position by a pair of coil springs 44 attached to the guide shaft 49. Therefore, when the clutch cam 40 rotates from the second position to the first position, the clutch yoke 41 returns from the clutch off position to the clutch on position, and the pinion gear 32 returns to the clutch on position. The return operation of the clutch cam 40 from the second position to the first position is also realized by rotating the handle 2 in the yarn winding direction in a clutch-off state by a clutch return mechanism (not shown).

The clutch plate 42 is provided for rotating the clutch cam 40 by swinging of the clutch operating member 11. The clutch plate 42 is formed, for example, by bending a metal plate.

As shown in FIG. 8, the spool drive mechanism 13 includes a motor 12, a first rotation transmission mechanism 24, and a second rotation transmission mechanism that are prohibited from rotating in the yarn winding direction by a reverse rotation prevention unit in the form of a roller clutch (not shown). 25. The first rotation transmission mechanism 24 decelerates the rotation of the motor 12 and transmits it to the spool 10. The second rotation transmission mechanism 25 increases the rotation of the handle 2 through the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 and transmits it to the spool 10.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 has a planetary speed reduction mechanism (not shown) connected to the output shaft of the motor 12. An internal gear (not shown) is formed on the inner side surface of the case 26 of the planetary reduction mechanism, and the output of the internal gear is transmitted to the spool 10 by a first gear member 60 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the case 26. Specifically, the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 further includes a first gear member 60, a second gear member 61 that meshes with the first gear member 60, and a pinion gear 32 that meshes with the second gear member 61.

The pinion gear 32 is controlled by the clutch control mechanism 20 and moves on the outer peripheral side of the spool shaft 14 between the clutch-on position and the clutch-off position in the axial direction. The pinion gear 32 engages with the clutch yoke 41 and moves in the direction of the spool shaft 14.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the second rotation transmission mechanism 25 includes a drive shaft 30, a drive gear 31, a third gear member 62, a drag mechanism 23, to which the handle 2 is coupled so as to be integrally rotatable. have.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the drive shaft 30 is rotatably supported by the mechanism mounting plate 19b and the first boss portion 8c of the first side cover 8a. The drive shaft 30 is supported by the first boss portion 8c of the second side cover 8b by a roller-type one-way clutch 37. The drive shaft 30 is prohibited from rotating in the yarn feeding direction by the one-way clutch 37. The drive gear 31 is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft 30. The drive gear 31 is braked by the drag mechanism 23 for rotation in the yarn drawing direction. As a result, the rotation of the spool 10 in the yarn unwinding direction is braked.

  The third gear member 62 is provided to transmit the rotation of the handle 2 to the spool 10. The third gear member 62 is coupled to the carrier of the planetary reduction mechanism so as to be integrally rotatable. The third gear member 62 meshes with the drive gear 31 and transmits the rotation of the handle 2 to the carrier of the planetary reduction mechanism. The rotation transmitted to the carrier is transmitted to the pinion gear 32 via the first gear member 60 and the second gear member 61. The reduction ratio from the third gear member 62 to the second gear member 61 is generally “1”.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the drag mechanism 23 includes a drag plate 38 that is connected to the inner ring 37 a of the one-way clutch 37 so as to be integrally rotatable and is pressed by the inner ring 37 a. The drag plate 38 is coupled to the drive shaft 30 so as to be integrally rotatable. The drag plate 38 presses the drive gear 31 via the drag washer 39. The braking force of the drag mechanism 23 (the pressing force that presses the drag plate 38) is adjusted by the star drag 3 that is screwed onto the drive shaft 30.

<Adjustment member>
The adjustment member 5 is provided in the reel body 1 in order to adjust the output of the motor 12 in a plurality of stages (for example, 10 stages or more, in this embodiment, 31 stages). As shown in FIG. 3 , the adjusting member 5 is provided between the side plate body 19a of the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the adjustment member 5 is rotatably mounted on a support shaft 36 a erected on the outer surface of the rear portion of the case member 36 of the water depth display unit 4. The adjustment member 5 is arranged such that the first side (the left side in FIG. 4) faces the case member 36. The second side (the right side in FIG. 4) is disposed to face the first side cover 8a.

  The adjustment member 5 is disposed between the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a while being attached to the support shaft 36a. The adjustment member 5 is arranged such that the first side (the left side in FIG. 4) faces the case member 36. The second side (the right side in FIG. 4) is disposed to face the first side cover 8a.

The support shaft 36a has a female screw hole 36b into which the screw member 54 is screwed. The screw member 54 is provided to prevent the adjustment member 5 from coming off from the support shaft 36a. The screw member 54 has a large-diameter head 54a.

  The rotation restricting portion 55 restricts the rotation of the adjustment member 5 from the operation start position and restricts the rotation of the adjustment member 5 to the operation start position. The operation start position is a position where the motor 12 is locked by the adjustment member 5. This is a position for stopping the rotation of the motor 12. The rotation restricting portion 55 includes an engaging portion 56 provided on the case member 36 and a positioning pin 57 provided on the adjusting member 5. The engagement portion 56 has a pair of arc recesses 36c, a pair of engagement recesses 36d, and a protrusion 36e formed on the outer surface of the case member 36 around the support shaft 36a. The pair of arc recesses 36c and the pair of engagement recesses 36d are formed with an interval of 180 °. The engaging recess 36d is formed in a spherical shape and is disposed adjacent to the arc recess 36c. The engaging recess 36d is provided corresponding to the operation start position. The arc recess 36 c is formed by an arc concentric with the rotation center of the adjustment member 5, and is provided corresponding to the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 is, for example, in the range of 80 ° to 120 °. In this embodiment, the rotation angle is 100 °. However, the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 is not limited to this. The protrusion 36e is formed between the engagement recess 36d and the arc recess 36c so as to protrude beyond the engagement recess 36d and the arc recess 36c. The protruding portion 36e is provided to restrict the rotation of the adjustment member 5.

  When the rotation angle of the adjusting member 5 is larger, the angle that can be allocated for each step of the output adjustment of the motor 12 becomes larger, so that the output adjustment operation can be performed stably at each step. However, if the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 is too large, it is difficult to quickly perform operations in a plurality of stages. In addition, depending on the shape of the reel body, the rotation angle may not be increased. Among these constraints, it is preferable to set the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 to the maximum angle.

  The adjustment member 5 is a generally annular member made of, for example, a synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 6, the adjustment member 5 has an operation protrusion 5 a that protrudes in the radial direction on the outer peripheral surface. A large number of grooves 5b along the axial direction for preventing slippage are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment member 5 excluding the operation protrusions 5a at intervals in the circumferential direction. On the outer surface of the adjustment member 5, a restriction protrusion 5 c for restricting the rotation range of the adjustment member 5 is formed so as to protrude in the axial direction. The first side cover 8a has an opening 8e having a rectangular shape in plan view for allowing the adjustment member 5 to protrude from the first side cover 8a. The regulation protrusion 5c contacts the inner surface of the opening 8e and regulates the rotation range of the adjustment member 5.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a pair of detector accommodating portions 5d for accommodating the detector 34 and a pair for positioning the adjusting member 5 at the operation start position are provided on the inner surface of the adjusting member 5 facing the case member 36. A pair of positioning accommodating portions 5e that accommodate the positioning pins 57 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction. The pair of detector accommodating portions 5d and the pair of positioning accommodating portions 5e are formed to be recessed in a circle at intervals of 180 °.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the positioning pin 57 is attached to the pair of positioning accommodating portions 5 e so as to freely advance and retract. The positioning pin 57 is urged toward the case member 36 by a pair of coil springs 58. The coil spring 58 is accommodated in the positioning accommodating portion 5e. The positioning pin 57 has a hemispherical head portion 57a, and the head portion 57a engages with the engaging recess 36d and the arc recess 36c. By providing the positioning pin 57 and the engagement recess 36d, the adjustment member 5 is reliably positioned at the operation start position. Moreover, since the protrusion part 36e is formed between the engagement recessed part 36d and the circular arc recessed part 36c, the adjustment member 5 positioned at the operation start position is difficult to rotate from the adjustment start position against the user's will. . Thereby, the motor 12 becomes difficult to rotate unexpectedly.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the adjustment member 5 has a through hole 5 f that is formed at the center and is rotatably supported by the support shaft 36 a via the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47. The adjusting member 5 includes a first contact surface 5g formed on the first side of the through hole 5f and a second contact surface 5h formed on the second side. The first contact surface 5 g contacts and slides with the first elastic member 46. The second contact surface 5 h contacts and slides with the second elastic member 47. The first contact surface 5g is a tapered surface inclined with respect to both the case member 36 and the support shaft 36a constituting the reel body 1. The second contact surface 5h is a tapered surface inclined with respect to both the head portion 54a of the screw member 54 and the support shaft 36a. In the first embodiment, the tapered surface is formed in a cone shape with an inclination of 30 to 60 degrees, preferably 40 to 50 degrees with respect to the support shaft 36a.

The first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 use, for example, OBR made of NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) or silicone rubber. The first elastic member 46 is disposed on the first side of the adjustment member 5 so as to be in direct or indirect contact between the outer surface of the case member 36, the adjustment member 5 and the support shaft 36a. In the first embodiment, the first elastic member 46 indirectly contacts the case member 36 via the first washer member 50. Further, the first elastic member 46 is in direct contact with the support shaft 36a and the first contact surface 5g. The second elastic member 47 is disposed on the second side of the adjustment member 5 so as to be in direct or indirect contact with each other between the head portion 54a of the screw member 54, the adjustment member 5, and the support shaft 36a. In the first embodiment, the second elastic member 47 indirectly contacts the head portion 54 a via the second washer member 52. Further, the second elastic member 47 directly contacts the support shaft 36a and the second contact surface 5h.

<Detector>
As shown in FIGS. 4, 6 and 9, the detector 34 is attached to the adjustment member 5. Specifically, as described above, it is fixed to the pair of detector accommodating portions 5d of the adjustment member 5 by appropriate fixing means such as adhesion. The detector 34 includes a first magnet 34a and a second magnet 34b that are separately fixed to the pair of detector accommodating portions 5d. The first magnet 34 a and the second magnet 34 b are each magnetized along the axial direction of the adjustment member 5. The second magnet 34b is magnetized in the opposite direction to the first magnet 34a. In this embodiment, the first magnet 34a is magnetized to the N pole on the side facing the case member 36, and the bottom surface side of the detector housing portion 5d is magnetized to the S pole. On the other hand, the second magnet is magnetized to the S pole on the side facing the case member 36, and the bottom surface side of the detector housing portion 5d is magnetized to the N pole. Thus, by arranging the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b that are magnetized in the axial direction so that the magnetic flux directions are reversed, the detector 34 that reacts in the same way as the magnet that is magnetized in the radial direction is made to axially magnetize. It can be obtained by the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b having simple magnetism.

<Phase detector>
As described above, the phase detection unit 35 is the hall element 35a mounted on the sub circuit board 74b disposed inside the case member 36 of the water depth display unit 4. As shown in FIG. 7 , the hall element 35 a is arranged in accordance with the rotation center C of the adjustment member 5. By arranging the Hall element 35a in this way, the Hall element 35a can detect a change in the direction of magnetic flux generated by the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b. As a result, it is possible to detect the rotational phase of the adjusting member 5 by detecting the direction of the magnetic flux that changes as the adjusting member 5 rotates by using the Hall element 35a. As shown in FIG. 10, the Hall element 35 a has a detector 34, assuming that the N pole of the radially magnetized detector 34 is on the mark 35 b side displayed on the Hall element 35 a, for example, in a semicircular shape, at 0 °. At the position where 0 is 0 °, the output voltage is minimized as shown in FIG. When the detector 34 rotates relative to the Hall element 35a counterclockwise from 0 °, the output voltage gradually increases. When the detector 34 approaches 360 °, the output voltage becomes maximum, and when it returns to 0 °, it returns to the minimum. . Thereby, the rotation phase of the adjusting member 5 can be detected by the Hall element 35a in the range from 0 ° to 360 °. However, in this embodiment, for example, the output voltage of the Hall element 35a is used in the range of about 50 ° to 150 °. However, the angular range of the output voltage of the Hall element 35a is not limited to this. For example, a range of 230 ° to 330 ° or the like can be appropriately selected according to the output characteristics of the Hall element.

<Control system>
As shown in FIG. 12, the electric reel 100 includes a reel control unit 70 that controls the motor 12 and the display 72. The reel control unit 70 is an example of a control unit. The reel control unit 70 is configured by a microcomputer including a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The reel control unit 70 is connected to a hall element 35 a as the phase detection unit 35, each switch of the switch operation unit 6, and a spool sensor 78. The reel controller 70 is connected to a display 72 as a control target, a motor drive circuit 76, a buzzer 80, and another input / output unit 82. The spool sensor 78 has a pair of reed switches (or hall elements) that detect a magnet (not shown) attached to the spool 10. The pair of reed switches are arranged side by side in the rotation direction of the spool 10. In this embodiment, the pair of reed switches is provided on the spool support portion 17 of the reel body 1. The spool sensor 78 can detect the rotation speed (rotation position) and rotation direction of the spool 10. The motor drive circuit 76 drives the motor 12 by PWM (pulse width modulation). That is, the motor 12 is driven by changing the duty ratio. The buzzer 80 is housed inside the case member 36. The buzzer 80 rings when the device reaches the shelf position or reaches the seabed. The other input / output unit 82 includes, for example, a wireless communication unit. The wireless communication unit can bidirectionally communicate various data such as water depth data with an external display device.

<Operation of electric reel>
In the electric reel 100 configured as described above, when fishing, the angler pushes down the clutch operation member 11 with the thumb of the hand holding the fishing rod. As a result, the clutch mechanism 16 is switched from the clutch-on state to the clutch-off state, the spool 10 is freely rotated, and the fishing line is fed out into the sea by the weight of the device.

  When a fish is hooked on the device and the fishing line is wound up, the clutch operating member 11 is pushed up with the tip of the thumb of the hand holding the fishing rod. When the clutch operating member 11 is pushed up, the clutch mechanism 16 is switched to the clutch-on state, and the spool 10 can be rotated in the yarn winding direction by the handle 2 and the motor 12.

  When winding the fishing line with the motor 12, the adjusting member 5 is operated with a hand holding a fishing rod or a hand operating the handle 2. At this time, since the adjustment member is disposed between the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a, the clutch operation member 11 and the adjustment member 5 disposed at the rear portion of the reel body 1 are disposed close to each other. For this reason, the adjustment member 5 can be operated with the fingertip of the hand after the summing operation. For this reason, it becomes easy to operate the adjustment member 5 and the clutch operation member 11 in cooperation. Further, when casting progresses and the amount of fishing line wrapping decreases, the summing operation can be performed via the clutch operating member 11, so that the summing operation during casting can be performed stably regardless of the amount of fishing line wrapping.

  When the adjustment member 5 is rotated, the detector 34 rotates together with the adjustment member 5, and the output voltage of the hall element 35 a of the phase detection unit 35 changes. The reel controller 70 controls the motor drive circuit 76 according to the change in the output voltage, and adjusts the output of the motor 12 according to the rotation position of the adjustment member 5. At this time, the rotational phase of the adjustment member 5 is detected without using a rotation detector such as a rotary encoder or a potentiometer. The increase in volume can be suppressed at a low cost.

Further, since the adjustment member 5 is supported by the support shaft 36 a via the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47, the frictional resistance generated by the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 is exerted on the adjustment member 5. Works. Thereby, the rotation of the adjusting member 5 can be adjusted by the frictional resistance caused by the contact with the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47, and the adjusting member 5 can be finely adjusted.

<Modification of First Embodiment>
In FIG. 13, the adjustment member 105 according to the modified example of the first embodiment further includes a spacer 59 disposed between the first contact surface 5 g and the first elastic member 46. The spacer 59 is provided between the second contact surface 5h and the second elastic member 47 and between the through hole 5f and the support shaft 36a. The spacer is, for example, made of metal such as Al mini um alloy, and a synthetic resin portion of the adjustment member 105, for example, be integrally formed together with the first magnet 34a and second magnet 34b by insert molding. In this case, since the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 are in contact with the spacer 59 made of metal and having a smooth surface, the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 act on the adjustment member 105 on the first side and the second side of the adjustment member 105. The frictional force tends to be more constant.

Second Embodiment
In Fig. 14, in the electric reel 300 according to the second embodiment, the adjustment member 205 is provided in the rear of the case member 236 included in the reel body 1. As shown in FIG. 15, the case member 236 has a storage recess 236 g capable of storing the adjustment member 205 at the rear. The support shaft 236a is supported at both ends by the case member 236. The support shaft 236a has a head 236h of large diameter, a shaft portion 236i for supporting the adjusting member 205, the. The support shaft 236a is mounted from one end side of the case member 236. The support shaft 236 a is prevented from coming off from the case member 236 by a retaining ring 228. The first contact surface 205g and the second contact surface 205h are through-hole tapered surfaces as in the first embodiment. The first elastic member 246 indirectly contacts one wall surface of the housing recess 236g of the case member 236 via the first washer member 250. The second elastic member 247 indirectly contacts the other wall surface of the housing recess 236g of the case member 236 via the second washer member 252.

  Even in such a second embodiment, the same operational effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

The first elastic member 46 (or 246) is disposed between the case member 36 (or 236), the adjustment member 5 (or 205) and the support shaft 36a (or 236a) on the first side of the adjustment member 5 (or 205). Arranged in direct or indirect contact. The reel control unit 70 adjusts the output of the motor 12 according to the rotation position of the adjustment member 5 (or 205).

  In the electric reel 100 (or 300), the adjustment member 5 (or 205) is supported on the support shaft 36a (or 236a) via the first elastic member 46 (or 246). The first elastic member 46 (or 246) is directly on the case member 36 (or 236), the adjustment member 5 (or 205), and the support shaft 36a (or 236a) on the first side of the adjustment member 5 (or 205). The adjusting member 5 (or 205) is disposed in contact indirectly, and is supported by the support shaft 36a (or 236a) via the first elastic member 46 (or 246).

The first elastic member 46 (or 246) indirectly contacts the case member 36 (or 236) via the first washer member 50 (or 250). In this case, the first elastic member 46 (or 246) contacts the first washer member 50 (or 250) whose surface is smoother than that of the case member 36 (or 236) instead of the case member 36 (or 236). The frictional resistance tends to be constant. For this reason, the adjustment operation of the adjustment member 5 (or 205) becomes smoother and the adjustment member 5 (or 205) can be further finely adjusted.

  (C) The adjustment member 5 (or 205) may have a first contact surface 5g (205g) that contacts and slides with the first elastic member 46 (or 246) on the first side. The first contact surface 5g (or 205g) is a tapered surface inclined with respect to both the case member 36 (or 236) and the support shaft 36a (236a). In this case, since the first elastic member 46 (or 246) contacts the adjustment member 5 (or 205) with a tapered surface, the force in the axial direction and the radial direction of the adjustment member 5 (or 205) is the first elasticity. Member 46 (or 246) can be received.

  (D) The through hole 5f (205f) is disposed with a gap from the support shaft 36a (236a), and the first contact surface 5g is provided on the first side of the through hole 5f (205f). In this case, since the adjustment member 5 (or 205) does not directly contact the support shaft 36a (236a), the frictional resistance of the first elastic member 46 (or 246) is stabilized.

  (E) The support shaft 36a may protrude from the case member 36 and be cantilevered. In this case, since the support shaft 36a is cantilevered, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the adjustment member 5 is increased.

  (F) The electric reel 100 may further include a screw member 54 that has a large-diameter head 54a and can be screwed into the tip of the support shaft 36a. The adjustment member 5 is prevented from coming off by the head 54 a of the screw member 54.

  (H) At least one of the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 may be an O-ring. In this case, since the adjustment member 5 can be supported using a commercially available O-ring, the support structure can be realized at a low cost.

  (I) The electric reel 100 may further include a second washer member 52 disposed between the head 54 a and the second elastic member 47. The second elastic member 47 indirectly contacts the head 54 a of the screw member 54 via the second washer member 52.

Resistance tends to be constant. For this reason, the adjustment operation of the adjustment member 5 becomes smoother and a fine adjustment operation can be performed.

(J) The adjusting member 5 may have a second contact surface 5 h that contacts and slides with the second elastic member 47. The second contact surface 5h is a tapered surface inclined with respect to both the head portion 54a of the screw member 54 and the support shaft 36a.

  (K) The through hole 5f may be disposed with a gap from the support shaft 36a, and the second contact surface 5h may be provided on the second side of the through hole 5f. In this case, since the first contact surface 5g and the second contact surface 5h are provided on both sides of the through hole 5f, the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 can stably support the adjustment member 5.

  (L) The support shaft 236a may be supported at both ends by the case member 236. In this case, since the adjustment member 205 is supported by the case member 236 at both ends, the adjustment member 205 can be operated from both the handle 2 side and the opposite direction to the handle 2.

  (M) The electric reel 300 is disposed on the second side opposite to the first side of the adjustment member 205 between the case member 236, the adjustment member 205, and the support shaft 236a in direct or indirect contact with each other. Two elastic members 247 may be further provided. In this case, since the adjustment member 205 supported at both ends is supported at both ends by the first elastic member 246 and the second elastic member 247 on the first side and the second side, a more delicate adjustment operation of the adjustment member 205 can be performed. become able to.

  (O) The electric reel 300 may further include a second washer member 252 disposed between the case member 236 and the second elastic member 247. The second elastic member 247 indirectly contacts the case member 236 via the second washer member 252. In this case, since the second elastic member 247 contacts the second washer member 252 also on the second side of the adjustment member 205, the friction resistance acting on the adjustment member 5 also on the second side is supported in the support shaft 236a supported at both ends. Tends to be constant. For this reason, the adjustment operation of the adjustment member 5 becomes smoother and a fine adjustment operation can be performed.

(P) Adjustment member 205 may have a second contact surface 205h in contact and sliding with the second elastic member 24 7.

The electric reel 100 further includes a rotation restricting portion 55 that restricts the rotation of the adjustment member 5 from the operation start position and the rotation to the operation start position. In this case, since rotation from the operation start position is restricted, the adjustment member 5 is less likely to rotate from the adjustment start position against the user's will, and the motor 12 is unlikely to rotate unexpectedly.

  (V) The rotation restricting unit 55 may restrict the rotation to the operation start position. In this case, the adjustment member 5 is less likely to rotate to the adjustment start position against the user's will, and the motor 12 is less likely to stop unexpectedly.

  (W) The rotation restricting portion 55 may include an engaging portion 56 and a positioning pin 57. The engaging portion 56 is provided in the case member 36 and has an engaging recess 36d corresponding to the operation start position. The positioning pin 57 is provided on the adjustment member 5 and is urged toward the engaging portion 56 to engage with the engaging portion 56. In this case, when the rotation is restricted, the positioning pin 57 is engaged with the engaging portion 56 by the biased positioning pin 57 and the rotation is restricted. Thus, the user can easily recognize that the rotation is restricted.

  (X) The engaging portion 56 is provided adjacent to the engaging recess 36d, and is formed of an arc recess 36c formed in an arc shape around the axis of the support shaft 36a, and the engagement recess 36d and the arc recess 36c. And a protrusion 36e provided therebetween. In this case, the rotation of the adjustment member 5 is restricted by the protrusion 36e provided at the boundary between the engagement recess 36d and the arc recess 36c.

  (Y) The engaging portion 56 may be provided on the case member 36, and the positioning pin 57 may be provided on the adjustment member 5. In this case, since the positioning pin 57 is provided on the moving adjustment member 5, a click feeling can be obtained.
