L mode is a braking mode that utilizes the energy immediately after casting to the maximum, increases the maximum rotational speed as much as possible, and also makes the mid-range and later parts almost free to extend the flight distance, and the first braking force is Set to the smallest value.

M mode is a braking mode set to allow comfortable long distance casting with devices (plugs) with low air resistance, such as plugs with a movable center of gravity, pencil baits, or vibrations. M mode is set to suppress overruns immediately after casting, while effectively correcting the mid-range and later stages to extend flight distance without causing backlash at the last minute. When using a fishing line L made of polyamide resin with a small specific gravity, it is preferable to set the M mode as a reference.

A mode is a brake setting that emphasizes the growth in the second half while making full use of the energy immediately after casting. Mode A can be used universally in most situations, regardless of the fishing line L, type of tackle, or wind direction. In particular, when using a fluorocarbon fishing line L with a heavy specific gravity, it is preferable to set the A mode as a reference.

The W mode is a mode in which backlash is suppressed as much as possible to extend the flight distance even in a situation where the flight distance of the contraption decreases in a perfect headwind, and the second braking force is set to be the largest. W mode is optimally set when throwing a minnow with a fixed center of gravity or a flat-side crank into a headwind, which tends to rotate and decelerate during flight. W mode is set to firmly prevent backlash from low rotations even in light casting such as pitching or skipping.

The mode knob 25B is rotatably provided on the first side cover 15B and can be positioned in four rotational phases depending on the braking mode. A magnet (not shown) is provided on the mode knob 25B. The circuit board 48 is provided with a mode knob position sensor 25C including two Hall elements spaced apart from each other in a region where the magnet rotates. The mode knob position sensor 25C detects the rotational phase of the mode knob 25B based on the on/off changes of the two Hall elements due to the passage of the magnet, specifically, when both are on, one is on, the other is off, one is off, the other is on, and both are off. do. The control unit 49 sets one of the four braking modes according to the rotational phase of the mode knob 25B.

The spool control unit 25A includes a circuit board 48 mounted on the surface of the spool support section 15H facing the flange section 30A of the spool 30, and a control section 49 mounted on the circuit board 48.

The circuit board 48 is a washer-shaped ring-shaped board with a circular opening at the center, and is arranged substantially concentrically with the spool shaft 31 on the outer peripheral side of the bearing storage portion 15J. The circuit board 48 is attached to the spool support part 15H so as to be rotatable with respect to the spool support part 15H. The circuit board 48 is positioned so as to be arranged in a predetermined phase with respect to the opening 15G. Thereby, even if the spool support portion 15H is rotated relative to the opening 15G to be attached or detached, the circuit board 48 is arranged in a constant phase.

The circuit board 48 is provided on the surface of the spool support portion 15H that faces the flange portion 30A of the spool 30. Therefore, the coil 47B arranged around the rotor 47A can be directly attached to the circuit board 48. Therefore, a lead wire connecting the coil 47B and the circuit board 48 is not required, and poor insulation between the coil 47B and the circuit board 48 can be reduced. Since the coil 47B is attached to the circuit board 48 attached to the spool support part 15H, the coil 47B is also attached to the spool support part 15H simply by attaching the circuit board 48 to the spool support part 15H. Therefore, the spool braking mechanism 32 can be easily assembled. Since the circuit board 48 is relatively rotatably mounted on the spool support portion 15H and positioned at a predetermined phase with respect to the opening 15G, the phase between the circuit board 48 and the case 15 does not change. Therefore, even if a magnet is provided on the mode knob 25B attached to the first side cover 15B that opens and closes, and a Hall element is provided on the circuit board 48, the Hall element can always detect the magnet in the same positional relationship.

The control unit 49 includes, for example, an arithmetic processing unit (CPU: Central Processing Unit) 49A or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit). The control unit 49 may be provided at multiple locations separated from each other. The control unit 49 may include one or more microcomputers. Preferably, the control unit 49 further includes a storage unit. The storage unit stores various control programs and information used for various control processes. The processing results of the control unit 49 may be stored in the storage unit. The storage unit includes, for example, a nonvolatile memory 49C and a volatile memory 49B. The nonvolatile memory 49C includes, for example, at least one of ROM (Read-Only Memory), EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), and flash memory. Volatile memory 49B includes RAM (Random access memory). The non-volatile memory 49C of the control unit 49 stores a control program, and also stores information about the first braking force, information about the second braking force, and data such as a timer used in the two braking processes for each of the four braking processes. Stored according to mode. The nonvolatile memory 49C of the control unit 49 also stores set values such as a reference tension and a starting tension for tension in each braking mode. Control unit 49 further includes an I/O interface 49D. A wireless receiving device 60A, a notification device 68, an operating section 64, a rotation state detecting section 66, and a mode knob position sensor 25C are electrically connected to the I/O interface 49D.

The control unit 49 is connected to a rotational state detection unit 66 and a mode knob position sensor 25C for detecting the rotational position of the mode knob 25B. The control unit 49 is connected to the gate of each FET of the switch element 47C. The control unit 49 controls the switch element 47C of the braking unit 47 using a PWM (pulse width modulation) signal with a period of 1/1000 seconds, for example, based on the input from the rotation state detection unit 66 and the mode knob position sensor 25C and the control program. Control on/off. In the selected braking mode, the control unit 49 controls the switching element 47C on and off at a duty ratio D that decreases according to the rotational speed. The control unit 49 is supplied with power from a power source 63 . In this embodiment, the power source 63 is provided in the fishing gear main body 12. Power supply 63 includes, for example, a power storage element 63A. The control unit 49 is supplied with power from the power storage element 63A. The power of the power storage element 63A is also supplied to the rotation state detection section 66 and the mode knob position sensor 25C. The power of the power storage element 63A is also supplied to the wireless receiving device 60A, the notification device 68, and the operation unit 64. Preferably, the control unit 49 detects that the tackle has landed on the water, and notifies the angler that the tackle has landed on the water by generating a sound from the notification device 68. Power storage element 63A is provided in case 15. The power storage element 63A may include a battery or a capacitor.

The control unit 49 includes a spool control unit, a tension detection unit, a water landing determination unit, and a water landing notification unit as functional configurations realized by software. The spool control section performs braking processing. The tension detection section calculates the tension of the fishing line L. The tension detection unit calculates the tension of the fishing line L, for example, according to information regarding the force applied to the spool shaft 31. The water landing determination section has a non-acceleration state determination section, a non-acceleration time determination section, and a speed determination section as functional configurations. The non-accelerated state determining unit determines a non-accelerated state in which the spool 30 is not accelerating. The non-accelerated state includes a constant speed rotation state and a decelerated rotation state. This determination is made based on the time-series output of the rotational state detection section 66. The non-acceleration time determination unit determines whether the non-acceleration state continues for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined time is, for example, 0.05 seconds to 0.5 seconds. The speed determination unit determines whether the rotational speed of the spool 30 has reached an extremely low end speed that is a criterion for determining whether the spool has landed on water. When the water landing notification unit determines that the device has landed on water, the water landing notification unit outputs a duty-based sound by changing the frequency of the duty control to a frequency in the audible range to indicate that the device has landed on the water. In other words, the notification is made by emitting a duty control sound.

In this embodiment, the power storage element 63A includes, for example, an electrolytic capacitor. Power storage element 63A is connected to rectifier circuit 47D. Rectifier circuit 47D is connected to switch element 47C. Rectifier circuit 47D converts alternating current from braking unit 47, which has rotor 47A and coil 47B and functions as a generator, into direct current, stabilizes the voltage, and supplies it to power storage element 63A. In this embodiment, the power supply 63 further includes a braking unit 47 and a rectifier circuit 47D.

Preferably, rectifier circuit 47D and power storage element 63A are mounted on circuit board 48. Each part including the coil 47B mounted on this circuit board 48 is covered with an insulating coating 48A made of a synthetic resin insulator. The insulating coating 48A is formed into a cylindrical shape with a flange. The insulating coating 48A covers the coil 47B, the circuit board 48, and the electrical components mounted on the circuit board 48. A light emitting/receiving portion of the rotational state detection section 66 is exposed from the insulating coating 48A.

When casting, the angler presses the clutch lever 42A downward to turn the clutch mechanism 41 into a clutch-off state. In the clutch-off state, the spool 30 is in a free rotation state, and when casting is performed, the fishing line L is vigorously paid out from the spool 30 due to the weight of the tackle. When the spool 30 rotates by casting, the magnet M rotates on the inner circumferential side of the coil 47B, and when the switch element 47C is turned on, current flows through the coil 47B and the spool 30 is braked. During casting, the rotational speed of the spool 30 increases rapidly, and once it reaches a peak, it gradually decelerates.

When the tackle lands on the water, a duty control sound sounds, allowing the angler to determine that the tackle has landed on the water. Therefore, the angler rotates the handle 26 in the line winding direction, turns the clutch mechanism 41 into a clutch-on state using the clutch return mechanism, palms the case 15, and waits for a hit.

A general brake control operation of the control unit 49 during casting will be explained.
When casting is started and electric power is supplied to the control unit 49 from the power supply 63, the first initial braking force of the first braking process, which will be described later, and the second braking force are set depending on the position of the mode knob 25B. The second initial braking force of the process, the magnification MP of the second braking force (for example, in the range of 1.2 to 2.5 times), and the attenuation rate of the second braking force (for example, 0.2 to 0.6) and a timer value (for example, in the range of 0.05 seconds to 0.5 seconds) of the timer at the time of corrective braking are set in the control unit 49. Further, at least one of a reference tension for comparison with the detected tension and a start tension for determining the braking start time point is also set in the control unit 49. The magnification MP of the second braking force is, for example, 1.5.

The tension is calculated according to the output of a strain gauge 52 provided on the spool shaft 31.
When a large braking force is applied when the tension, which gradually decreases from the start of casting, becomes less than a predetermined value (starting tension Fs), the attitude of the tackle is reversed just before the peak of the rotational speed, and it flies stably. For this reason, the control unit 49 performs the following control in order to brake before the peak of the rotational speed and fly the contraption in a stable attitude. That is, the control unit 49 performs a first braking process in which a strong braking force is applied for a short period of time at the beginning of casting to reverse the device, and then a combination of a first braking force and a second braking force that gradually become weaker is applied. The spool 30 is braked gradually until it is determined that the device has landed on the water. The first braking force decreases from the braking force at the start of braking in proportion to the square of the rotational speed. The second braking force decreases at a set damping rate from an initial value obtained by multiplying the first braking force by a predetermined multiplication factor MP.

The spool control section performs two braking processes, a first braking process and a second braking process. In the second braking process, the spool control unit compares the detected tension with a reference tension set such that at least a portion thereof decreases over time, and when the detected tension becomes equal to or less than the reference tension, the spool control unit applies a second braking force. to brake the spool 30. The second braking force is increased based on the first braking force, and is attenuated according to the attenuation rate. Specifically, when the detected tension becomes equal to or less than the reference tension, a timer (N: 1, 2, 3, etc.) is activated each time, and when the timer times out, the spool control section operates the first control at that time. Braking is performed using a second braking force that is increased based on the power. Note that if the detected tension exceeds the reference tension before the time is up, the timer is reset and the process of increasing the second braking force with respect to the first braking force is not performed. That is, the tension is attenuated according to the previous attenuation rate.

When determining whether the tackle has landed on the water, the spool control section instantaneously increases the braking force and determines whether or not the tackle has landed on the water based on the rotational speed of the spool 30 after the brake is released. Therefore, in the electrically controllable braking unit 47 of the double-bearing reel 14, the spool control section can accurately determine whether the tackle has landed on the water.

When the spool control unit determines that the tackle has landed on the water, it can emit a duty control sound to notify the angler of this fact. People can recognize when the device lands on water. Therefore, the angler can perform the summing operation and the clutch-on operation in a timely manner after landing on the water.

The wireless receiving device 60A receives information regarding the force applied to the spool shaft 31 output from the wireless transmitting device 60 and transmits it to the control unit 49.

In the constant speed mode or the constant tension mode, the processing unit 62 controls the winding speed and winding torque of the first motor 104A in multiple stages according to the amount of operation of the adjustment lever. When the take-up switch PW or the feed switch LF is operated and the states of the first reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism 107 and the forward rotation inhibiting mechanism 109 are switched by the second motor, the arithmetic processing unit 62 causes the first motor 104A to rotate in the forward or reverse direction. and stop it. The arithmetic processing unit 62 calculates the water depth of the tackle attached to the tip of the fishing line L based on the output of the spool sensor, and displays it on the water depth display section 198. When the bottom position or shelf position is set by operating the operation key unit 199, the arithmetic processing unit 62 causes the calculated water depth to match the set bottom position or shelf position and reach the tackle shelf position or bottom position. When this happens, the first motor 104A rotating in the line payout direction is stopped and the device is placed at that position.

When the first ratchet wheel is prevented from reversing, the outer ring of the first one-way clutch is also prevented from reversing, and the first motor 104A is prohibited from reversing through the first one-way clutch. Only forward rotation is possible. Furthermore, when the first one-way clutch is separated and reverse rotation is permitted, the first one-way clutch becomes capable of reverse rotation, the first motor 104A becomes capable of reverse rotation, and the fishing line L can be let out from the spool 103. A radially extending first switching arm constituting a switching section is integrally formed with the first ratchet pawl.

In addition to the second reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism 108, a roller clutch 138 that instantly inhibits reverse rotation of the handle shaft 133 is disposed on the reel 14 between the side cover 115 and the handle shaft 133.

The forward rotation inhibiting mechanism 109 bites into the second ratchet wheel 162 and prohibits forward rotation of the handle shaft 133 via the second ratchet wheel 162. The forward rotation inhibiting mechanism 109 has a third ratchet pawl attached to the fixed frame 120 so as to be swingable between a forward rotation inhibiting position in which it contacts the second ratchet wheel 162 and a forward rotation permitting position in which it separates from the second ratchet wheel 162. The rotation of the carrier 146 of the first planetary gear mechanism 140 is prevented by the forward rotation inhibiting mechanism 109, and the rotation of the first motor 104A in the line payout direction is transmitted to the spool 103 through the first planetary gear mechanism 140 at a reduced speed. . Furthermore, when the first motor 104A rotates the spool 103 in the line payout direction to pay out the fishing line L, the handle 101 does not rotate. A radially extending second switching arm constituting a switching portion is integrally formed with the third ratchet pawl.

When the mechanism 107 is switched to the reverse rotation permission state, the second switching mechanism sets the forward rotation inhibition mechanism 109 to the forward rotation inhibition state.

The drive mechanism includes a second motor and a second planetary gear mechanism that reduces rotation of the second motor. The second motor is housed inside a mounting cylinder mounted between the side plates 116 and 117 at the front of the case 102. The second motor is rotatable in only one direction by the second one-way clutch.

The control unit 49 calculates the tension acting on the fishing line L by correcting the torque detected by the strain gauge 52 by the diameter of the line winding detected based on the rotational position of the spool 30, and controls the first motor so that the tension is minimized. Automatically adjusts the reverse speed of 104A. This allows the fishing line L to be let out at a constant speed depending on the weight of the tackle.
