FIG. 4 shows an example of a microcomputer circuit section built into the control box 25. As shown in FIG.

This microcomputer circuit unit controls the electric reel according to the program and input data from the keyboard 26, and controls and manages the program memory, data memory, input/output device, etc. to process a given job. The central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as C
(referred to as PU) 31, a ROM-configured memory 32 that stores a series of operation program commands necessary for fishing operations, hiccup pattern data, various arithmetic processing data, etc., and a fishing line 49 that is fed out according to the shelf (water depth). Quantity data and
The memory 3233 is connected to the CPU 3i via a bus 34 including address data, and the bus 34 also includes a keyboard 26, a fishing line, etc. A line length measuring device 35 that directly measures the amount of payout and winding up of the fishing line 49 by bringing a roller into contact with the fishing line 49, and the motor 10 when winding up the fishing line.

39 and the hoisting motor 10,
Gear motor for drag 24. The digital display section 27 and other display sections 28, 29.30 also have separate I10 ports 40 to 4.
5 to the bus 34.

The line length measuring device 35 is attached to the support 3 of the reel side frame 1.2, and numerically accurately measures the length of the fishing line 49 that is fed out by detecting the outer peripheral speed of the fishing line 49 wound around the spool 6. The CPU 31 calculates the line speed by calculating the length of the fishing line 49 per unit time, and this calculated data is output to the line speed display section 28 via the I10 boat 43. The speed at which the fishing line is fed out is displayed as a bar. The load current detection device 36 detects a load current when a load is applied to the hoisting motor 10 due to, for example, a fish being caught on a fishing tackle when hoisting a fishing line, and the load current is detected by an A/D (not shown). The load current is taken into the CPU 3 i via the conversion circuit and the I10 boat 39, and the load current taken into the CPU 31 is used to calculate the fishing line tension by performing predetermined arithmetic processing in the CPU 3 i. The data is output to the fishing line tension display section 30 via the I10 port 45, and the tension of the fishing line 49 is displayed as a bar.

Furthermore, a buzzer 47 is connected to the bus 34 via an I10 port 46. 50 is a timer that determines the hiccup time.

Next, the operation of the electric fishing reel with a line length measuring device according to this embodiment configured as described above will be explained based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

When fishing, first securely fix the electric reel body integrated with the fishing rod to the boat's gunwale, and connect the power terminal 48 of the reel body.
(See FIG. 1) is connected to a battery power source to power on the control circuit section including the microcomputer. Then,
As shown in FIG. 5, in step S1, each circuit device including the CPU 31 is initialized, and the process moves to the next diagnostic step S2. In step S2, the program is executed to determine whether the battery has a regular voltage capacity, whether the battery and the power supply terminal 48 are properly connected, and whether each circuit device operates normally. If it is determined that there is no abnormality, step S3
The CPU 31 transfers to the I10 boat 42 and I10
A drive command signal is applied to each display section 27 and buzzer 47 via the boat 46, and the display section 27 is blinked a plurality of times, for example, three times, and at the same time, the buzzer 47 is sounded, for example, three times.

Therefore, by checking this, the angler can recognize that the electric reel can operate normally.

Next, the fishing line 49 wound around the spool 6 is passed through a guide (not shown) attached to the rod and pulled out from the tip of the rod, a tackle (not shown) is tied to the tip, and bait is attached to the tackle. Thereafter, the user uses the keyboard 26 to set input data such as the shelf, the hook, the hook time, and the drag strength necessary for catching the target fish.

That is, if the shelf position obtained by the fish finder, the water depth to the so-called layer where the target fish migrate, is 500 m, first,
Press the numerical keys on the keyboard 26 to ``5J, rQ,, rQ,
Press. Along with this, each numerical data is taken into the CPU 31, and at the same time, the memory 3 of the ROM configuration
2 is accessed and r5,0,0 . The display data of C
The input water depth setting value "500" is outputted to the shelf set digital display section 27a of the digital display section 27 through the PU 31 and the bus 34 and is displayed on the shelf set digital display section 27.
Digitally displayed in a. After visually confirming the numerical value, the angler presses the function key "Shelf" on the keyboard 26.
When the button is pressed, the shelf data is stored by the CPU 31 at a predetermined location in the RAM-configured memory 33. At this time, press the function key "Shelf j" and display data r50.
0j disappears.

Similarly, if you press the numeric key "l" or "2" on the keyboard 26 and then press the function key "sh", the data for setting the manual mode will be stored at the specified location in the memory 33. be done.

Furthermore, after pressing the numeric key "5" on the keyboard 26,
If you press the function key "T", the input data "5" will be displayed.
” is set in the timer 50 through the CPU 31. This data becomes the hiccup time, and the time is set to 5 minutes. In addition, the drag strength when winding up the fishing line in full auto mode is automatically set by executing the fishing program without inputting it from the keyboard 26, and the setting value is "10J drag." The input settings are made, but in this case, it is mainly used when pressing the manual key "M" to wind up the fishing line. Then, press the numerical key and the function key "DJ" on the keyboard 26 depending on the target fish.For example, if the drag strength for the target fish you are trying to catch is "8", press the numerical key [8], As a result, the input numerical value is digitally displayed on the shelf set digital display section 27a, and then the funccijin key r D J
When the button is pressed, data "8" for setting the drag strength is stored at a predetermined location in the memory 33.

If the drag strength "8" is set manually here, the CP
U31 performs calculation operation based on the setting data, and the data obtained by the calculation process is input to I as the drag gear motor input.
The signal is output to the drag gear motor 24 through the 10 port 40. As a result, the drag gear motor 24 is driven in the lining washer tightening direction, rotates the worm wheel 22 by an angle according to the input data, and presses the side plate 6a of the spool 6 against the lining washer 8, thereby causing the drag gear motor 24 of the spool 6 to rotate. Set the strength to "8".

The drag device 17 has 16 drags from 0 drag to 15 drag.
The strength can be set in stages, and at zero drag, the spool 6 is placed in a free state, and as the value increases, the drag strength (spool braking) applied to the spool 6 increases.

In this way, after setting various data such as shelf position, hiccup mode, hiccup time, etc. required for electric reel control during fishing according to the target fish, the device connected to the tip of the fishing line is suspended over the sea from the rod tip, and the electric reel is Start the reels. still,
At the time of starting the electric reel, the drag device 17 is set at “10”.
” The spool 6 is not rotated even if the hook is set to drag and the device is suspended from the tip of the rod.

Next, the fishing control operation based on the above input data will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

To start the electric reel, first press the numeric key "0" on the keyboard 26, then press the function key "D".
Press J to set the drag device 17 to 0 drag and make the spool 6 free.

This is step Sll in FIG. When the spool 6 becomes free, the spool 6 is rotated by the weight of the tackle, and the fishing line 49 wound around the spool 6 is sequentially paid out, and at the same time, the tackle is sequentially lowered into the sea. At this time,
Since the line length measuring device 35 operates as the spool 6 rotates for line reeling, the line length measurement data that changes moment by moment as the fishing line 49 is let out is taken into the CPU 31 through the I10 port 38 and the path 34, where it is After being processed,
The calculation output is applied to the digital display section 27 through the bus 34 and the I10 port 41, and the constantly changing payout yarn length is displayed on the yarn length measurement digital display section 27b. The display at this time will be an up value. In addition, the shelf set digital display section 27a shows the shelf value r500. is displayed.

At the same time, the CPU 31 calculates the payout system speed per unit time based on the payout yarn length data taken in from the yarn length measuring device 35, monitors whether this yarn speed exceeds a set value, and controls the spool 6. Prevent backlash. Steps S12 to S15 in FIG. 6 show processing steps by the yarn speed monitoring program, and step S1
2 is a flow for determining whether or not the yarn speed exceeds the set value (a speed at which backlash does not occur). If it is determined that the yarn speed is below the set value, the process moves to step 314 and the yarn speed is increased. Determine whether it is appropriate. If the yarn speed exceeds the set value, the process moves to step 313, and in step S13, the CPU 31 sends a command signal to the drag device 17, and the drag device 17 is set to "2" to "2".
3) Operate to the drag level, apply the brake to spool 6, and return to "0" drag again. And step S
14, it is determined whether the yarn speed after applying the brake is an appropriate value. Here, the judgment result is an appropriate value (
If it is determined that it is not over (over), the process returns to step 312, then moves to step S13, operates the drag device 17 again to the "4" drag position, applies the brake to the spool 6, and returns to the O drag position. return. This step operation is repeated until the yarn speed reaches a proper value.

Further, if it is determined in step S14 that the yarn speed is at an appropriate value, the process moves to step S15, and it is determined whether or not the tackle has reached the shelf position. This determination is processed based on yarn length data taken into the CPU 31 from the yarn length measuring device 35. Here, if it is determined that the shelf is not in the set position, the process returns to step S14 and the yarn speed is monitored.

Further, when it is determined that the device has been lowered to a water depth of 500 m and has reached the shelf setting position, the process moves to step S16, and the CPU 31 outputs a command signal to the buzzer 47, causing the buzzer 47 to sound three times. Informs the angler that the tackle has reached the fence setting position.

Subsequently, the processing flow moves to step 317, where an operation command is given to the gear motor 24 of the drag device 17 to operate the drag device 17 to a "10" drag, thereby applying sudden braking to the spool 6. Stop the spool 6.

Thereafter, when a predetermined period of time (approximately 4 seconds) has elapsed, the program processing flow moves to step S18, where the microcomputer built-in timer 50 is started, and moves to step S19, where the hiccup mode data is stored in the memory 3.
Based on this hiccup mode data, the drag device 17 is operated alternately to "10" drag and "0" drag, and the hoisting motor 10 is operated to "10" drag and "0" drag of drag device 17. Drives intermittently according to movement. That is, when the drag device 17 is switched to "10" drag, the hoisting motor 1o is started to wind up the fishing line 49, and when the drag device 17 is switched to "0" drag, the motor 1o is stopped. Then, the spool 6 is released, and the fishing line is let out by the weight of the hook by the amount that has been wound up. The vertical interval of the hiccup at this time is determined by the migratory layer of the target fish, and the hiccup mode is not limited to the above-mentioned one, but the hiccup operation can be performed in any mode according to the data stored in the memory 32. Of course you can get it.

In addition, the hiccup processing flow includes a step S20 in which it is determined whether or not a line hoisting command has been given due to a fish being caught on the bait during the hiccup, and the function key "AJ ( When the auto key) or the function key "M" (manual key) is pressed, the electric reel immediately shifts to the winding operation mode, starts the winding motor 10, and winds up the line. At this time, if the function key "A" is pressed, the fishing line 49 is automatically wound up in the preset winding mode, and if the function key "M" is pressed, the fishing line 49 is automatically wound up in the preset winding mode.
The winding motor 10 is driven only while the button is pressed to wind up the yarn. In this case, the drag strength is set to a value input from the keyboard 26.

If it is determined in step S20 that the winding is not done, the process proceeds to the next step S21, where it is determined whether or not the timer 50 has counted out. Here, if it is determined that the cut-off time has not been reached, step 31
The control returns to step 9 and the set hiccup action is continued. - On the other hand, if it is determined that the timer 50 has counted up, the process moves to step S22, where the hiccup operation is stopped, and the process moves to step S23, where the CPU 3
1 gives an operation command to the buzzer 47, which causes the buzzer 47 to sound once to notify the angler that the shackle operation has been completed.

Further, when the shackle operation is completed, the microcomputer enters a winding mode and executes a thread winding program. When this hoisting program is executed, first, in step 324, a drag setting command signal is given from the CPU 31 to the gear motor 24 of the drag device 17, and this drives the gear motor 24 to set the drag device 17 to rlOJ.
The side plate 6a of the spool 6 and the brake plate 7 are connected to the "10" drag via the lining washer 8, and the hoisting motor 10 is started. Next, step S2
5, it is determined whether the hoisting speed of the motor 10 is high or not. If it is determined that the hoisting speed is high, in the next step 326, the hoisting is performed by a predetermined length at the initial stage of hoisting, for example, 5 m. The hoisting speed of the upper motor 10 is operated at low speed, thereby preventing the fish hooked on the bait from breaking. Also, it is not fast,
That is, if it is determined that the speed is low, the hoisting operation is performed from the initial stage at the set low speed, and the process proceeds to step 328.

On the other hand, if step S26 is passed, the winding yarn length is measured by the yarn length measuring device 35 and sent to the CPU 31 as yarn length data.
Since the initial winding thread length at low speed is 5m,
When it reaches step S27, the hoisting motor 10
The speed of the hoisting motor 10 is automatically switched to the hoisting speed set with the function key "High" on the keyboard 26, and the hoisting motor 10
is driven at a set speed, and the spool 6 is rotated in the winding direction to wind the fishing line 49 at a high speed, or at a low speed if it is set to a low speed. The yarn length at the time of winding is sequentially measured by the yarn length measuring device 35, and the yarn length data is taken into the CPU 31 and subjected to arithmetic processing, so that it is digitally displayed on the yarn length measurement digital display section 27b of the digital display section 27. be done. At this time, the values that are sequentially subtracted from the value of "500" that is displayed when the thread is being reeled are displayed, and the CPU 31 performs arithmetic processing for displaying the values.

Then, when the fishing line is hoisted at high or low speed by the hoisting motor 10, the program moves to step 32B, where it is determined whether or not the tackle has reached 5 m below the rod tip. If it is determined that this is the case, the determination process is repeated until the rod tip is 5 meters below. When it is determined that the tackle has reached 5 m below the rod tip, the process moves to step 326, and C
A drive command signal is given from the PU 31 to the buzzer 47 to make the buzzer 47 ring once, thereby informing the angler that the tackle has reached 5 m below the tip of the rod. Also, almost at the same time, step S
In step S30, it is determined whether the speed of the motor 10 at the time of hoisting is high speed or not, and when it is determined that the speed is high speed, step S31
At this point, the hoisting motor 10 is switched to low speed and the fishing line 49 is hoisted at a low speed. This is to protect the rod tip from colliding with the rod tip due to the reaction caused by the device being quickly pulled out of the water. Further, in step S30, if it is determined that the winding speed is not high, that is, the winding speed is low, the winding is carried out at that winding speed. Accordingly, the processing flow moves to step S32, and it is determined whether or not the tackle is at the rod tip of 1 m (ro, 1 shelf).

At this time, if it is determined that the rod tip of the tackle is not 1 m, that is, it is determined to be 1 m or more, the repeated determination process is continued until the rod tip reaches 1 m. When it is determined that the hook is 1 m from the rod tip, the process moves to step S33, where a stop command is given to the hoisting motor 10, the motor 10 is stopped, and the line hoisting is also stopped, and the buzzer 47 beeps three times to notify the angler that reeling is complete. At this time, the drag strength is set to "10", so even if the spool 6 stops, the thread will not be let out due to the weight of the device.

After the bait is stopped at 1 m from the rod tip, the bait is pulled up, the fish hooked on it is removed, and the bait is reattached to the bait in preparation for the next fishing trip.

If you want to perform the fishing operation again, go back to step S11 in FIG.
Processing operations from step S12 to step S33 will be performed.

Note that the function key rBJ is a key for pantry check, and when the function key rB is pressed, the capacity of the battery is displayed on the display section 29 based on the input command.

Further, the yarn length display means in the present invention may be a mechanical digital display or an analog display system.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention includes a microcomputer that performs calculation processing based on the detected value detected by the yarn length measuring device, and a display unit that displays the calculation output of this microcomputer. In an electric fishing reel equipped with a line length measuring device, which has a control box attached to the reel body, the above display section includes a shelf set display section that displays shelving reset data and a display section that displays line length measurement data from time to time. Since the line length measurement display section is provided separately, even when fishing by boat, which is often carried out under adverse conditions, fishermen can see the shelving reset data from the screen display section, which changes from moment to moment. The line length measurement data can be displayed, allowing the angler to visually confirm and predict the shelf setting value while quickly responding to the next fishing operation, including preparation and work. However, it has the advantage of being easy to perform.
