Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a fishing reel constructed in such a manner as to give an ideal motion to a fishing device only by exchanging an external memory medium and to enable even a beginner to apply a movement similar to the movement applied by a skilled person to a fishing device. CONSTITUTION:A spool 3 is set to a prescribed state by an execution means E through a control means B and an operation means A by transmitting a control data from an external medium C such as a ROM card to an inputting means D. A fishing device attached to a fishing line delivered from the spool 3 can be moved according to the control data by this process. A number of media C for moving the device corresponding to various kinds of fish are prepared beforehand in place of setting a number of control data (e.g. programs) for moving the device according to the kind of the fish to the control system. Accordingly, a desired fishing can be preformed by getting only a medium C corresponding to the objective fish to be fished.

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 present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more specifically, the rotation of the spool is controlled in order to give movement to the reel 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 J" motion by controlling the rotation of the spool.
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.

It is also possible to configure the control system so that multiple operations corresponding to each type of fish are set in the program and the operation is selected depending on the target fish when fishing. If so, it not only requires a large amount of memory, but also the cost of the program increases the price of the reel, so it is not originally used by anglers who only catch specific fish. There is room for improvement since the cost of the program will also be borne.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control system that allows the angler to make the movements preferred by the fish according to the fish he is trying to catch, without requiring a large capacity memory, and without imposing unnecessary costs on the angler. The point is that it can be configured without much effort.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is characterized by being provided with an operating mechanism for setting the rotational operation of the spool, and a control means for controlling the rotation of the spool via this operating mechanism, and the control means receives input of predetermined control data. The control means is configured to be connected to an execution means for automatically operating the spool through the control means and the operation mechanism, and is provided with an input means for accepting control data from an external medium having control data and sending it to the execution means. Its functions and effects are as follows.

[Function] When the above characteristics are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, for example, control data from an external medium (C) such as a ROM card is transmitted to the input means (D), and the execution means (E
), as a result of setting the rotation of the spool (3) through the control means (B) and the operating mechanism (A), the fishing line (22) that is being fed out from the spool (3) is operated according to the control data. It becomes possible to do so.

In other words, in the present invention, rather than setting a large amount of control data (programs, etc.) in the control system to operate the tackle according to the type of fish, the present invention uses external media to operate the tackle according to each type of fish. Since it is possible to prepare a large number of mediums (C), anglers can fish as desired by simply obtaining external mediums (C) according to the purpose of fishing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Therefore, a control system that gives the bait the movement that the fish prefers according to the fish that the angler is trying to catch can be configured without requiring a large capacity memory and without imposing unnecessary costs on the angler. It was.

In particular, with the present invention, it is possible to give the device ideal movement just by replacing the external medium, so even beginners can
It also has the effect of making it possible to give the device a movement that is comparable to the movement that an expert would make by hand.
