Description

  The present invention relates to an unlocking device for unlocking an electric trolling motor (hereinafter referred to as “electric motor”) used as an auxiliary to a main gasoline engine outboard motor in a bus fishing boat or the like. About.

  The electric motor is usually used for board movement at a relatively short distance, and can reduce pressure on fish such as bass by quietly approaching the fishing point at low speed.

  There are two types of electric motors: a hand control type that controls the speed and direction of travel by hand and a foot control type that controls by foot.

The hand control type has a simpler structure than the foot control type and can be attached to either the bow or stern of the boat, but while operating the electric motor with either the left or right hand, only the other hand can be used. Since the rod must be held, it is difficult to perform the rod operation, and it is difficult to handle a sudden hit.

On the other hand, the foot control type has a more complicated structure than the hand control type and can only be attached to the bow, but because it is controlled by the foot, it can hold the rod with both hands, and it can be hooked when operating a rod or sudden hit In fact, it is widely used because it can be easily performed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the general configuration of a general foot control type electric motor will be described. The electric motor 1 includes a pipe shaft 3 having a motor housing 11 having a propeller 2 attached to a tip portion, and a pipe shaft 3. A head 4 provided at the base end of the head, an operation pedal 6 connected to the head 4 via a control cable 5, a mount 7 for supporting the pipe shaft 3, and the like.

The mount 7 includes a base portion 8 fixed to the bow portion of the boat and a pipe shaft support portion 12 that is rotatable via a hinge 9 at the rear end of the base portion 8. 14 is out.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the electric motor 1 is stored, an operation rod 15 for turning the lock ON / OFF and an operation rod 15 are provided at the tip of the pipe shaft support portion 12. A rope connecting member 18 integrally formed with the long hole 16 for moving in a direction orthogonal to the direction, the joint 17 connected to the operating rod 15 and the joint 17 is provided, and the rope connecting member 18 is operated. The tip of the rope 14 is connected.

Then, by pulling the operation rope 14, the operation rod 15 is also drawn and finally a lock pin (not shown) is released and the lock is released.
