Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a fishing reel capable of automatically moving a fishing device according to a pattern required by an angler and subjecting the device to even a complicate motion by a simple operation comprising the exchange of a memory medium. CONSTITUTION:The rotation of a spool 3 is controlled by an angler through an artificial inputting means B after setting a memory medium D such as EPROM card. The operation performed by the angler is stored in the memory medium 30 by a writing means E. A motion of the spool 3 completely same as the motion performed by the angler can be replayed by a reading means F according to the data stored in the memory medium D. Furthermore, when the motion of the fishing device corresponding to a certain kind of fish is stored in a memory medium D and the motion corresponding to the other kind of fish is stored in other memory medium D, the motions of the fishing device corresponding to various kinds of fish can be attained by exchanging the memory medium D.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more specifically, the rotation of the spool is used to give movement to the bait and attract fish, such as a "shakuri" action. It is related to technology for control.

[Conventional technology]

As a conventional technology, there is an electric reel in which the device performs a "shakuri" action by controlling the rotation of the spool, and in this electric reel, the electric motor that drives the spool is
A program is set in the electric motor control device to repeat the operation of driving for a predetermined time and then stopping for a predetermined time.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The motion that gives movement to the bait to attract fish differs depending on the type of fish, so conventional electric reels only have motions that correspond to specific types of fish, such as squid.

Also, when considering the motion given to the bait, for example, if the length of the bait is large, the stroke of the motion should be large.Even when fishing for a specific fish, it is important to consider the shape of the bait or other factors such as the current. The current situation is that anglers often have to change their movement patterns, and the movements they prefer differ depending on the angler.

However, if a movement targeting a specific fish requires a variety of patterns depending on the conditions, etc., if you try to perform this movement automatically, you will need to create a pattern of movement that corresponds to a specific fish. This alone makes the program large and requires time and effort to select patterns, so there is room for improvement.

An object of the present invention is to rationally configure a fishing reel that can automatically operate a tackle in a pattern required by an angler.

[Means to solve the problem]

The features of the present invention include an operating mechanism that sets the rotational motion of the spool, a control means that controls the rotation of the spool via this operating mechanism, and an artificial control mechanism that causes the spool to perform the rotational motion via the operating mechanism. Each of the input means is provided, and when the rotation of the spool is controlled via the artificial input means, a writing means is provided for storing the control status as data in a replaceable storage medium, and a reading means for controlling the rotational movement of the spool according to the data, and its operation,
And the effects are as follows.

[For production]

If the above characteristics are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, for example, an angler can input the spool (3) via the manual input means (B) with the storage medium (D) such as an EPROM card set. By controlling the rotation, the actions performed by the angler are written into the storage medium (31) by the writing means (E).
After being stored in this way, the reading means (F) performs exactly the same operation as the angler's operation on the spool (3) according to the data from the storage medium (D). It becomes possible to make it happen.

Also, for example, a predetermined storage medium (D) may hold the action of a tackle corresponding to a predetermined fish, and another storage medium (D) may hold the action of a tackle corresponding to another type of fish. By changing the storage medium (D), it becomes possible to obtain the operation of the device that is compatible with various types of fish.

Furthermore, even when fishing for a specific fish, it is possible to change the operation of the bait depending on the conditions by replacing the storage medium (D).

〔Effect of the invention〕

Therefore, it is possible to automatically make the bait move in the pattern required by the angler, and even if the motion is complicated, it is possible to give the trick to the bait by the simple operation of replacing the storage medium. The reel for this purpose has been rationally constructed.
