Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to an automatic stop position of a fishing line at the gunwale in an electric fishing reel that is equipped with a length measuring mechanism and a control mechanism that controls the operation and stopping of a motor that rotates a spool. Relating to an adjustment device.

(Prior Art) In electric fishing reels used for boat fishing, fishing line is wound up by rotating a spool using a motor, or the motor is stopped by operating an ON10 FF switch on the motor. If you try to do so, the fishing line (tackle) may wind up too much due to a delay in the switch operation, causing damage to the fishing rod and reel.

Therefore, recently, an automatic gunwale stop mechanism has been developed that automatically stops the winding operation when the device is pulled up from the water surface to a predetermined depth during automatic electric winding.

The gunwale automatic stop mechanism is shipped after the manufacturer selects the stop position to a predetermined value, such as 3 m, 5 m, etc., and stores it in the computer of the control mechanism installed in the reel.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, the conventional gunwale automatic stopping mechanism has the following problems because its stopping position (length) is fixed to a constant value.

In other words, the fishing boats that anglers board are not always the same, and because the boats vary in size, the height from the gunwale to the water surface may vary, and the length of the rods and tackle used by anglers may vary. As a result, when the fishing rod is stopped at a predetermined position and brought closer to the user's hand, the fishing rod's head may be higher than the user's hand or lower than the user's hand. For example, when the gunwale is at a high stopping position, if you set up your fishing rod and bring the tackle closer to you, the tackle will be located at a higher head position than your hand, and there is a danger that you may fail to grasp the tackle (the weight) and hit your face. . In addition, when the gunwale stopping position is low, when the fishing rod is set up and the tackle is brought close to hand, the tackle is located at a lower position than the hand, and the angler manually operates the nozzle to wind up the fishing line, and the tackle is at hand. It is necessary to perform operations such as adjusting the position.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art as described above, and its purpose is to provide a device that allows anglers to freely adjust and set the gunwale stopping position according to the fishing situation. There is a particular thing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the gunwale automatic stop position adjusting device of the present invention has a spool rotatably supported between left and right side frames, and the spool is rotated by a motor. In addition, an electric fishing reel is equipped with a control mechanism consisting of a length measuring mechanism that measures the length of fishing line reeling and winding, and a computer that controls the operation and stopping of the motor. The present invention is characterized in that an adjustment means is provided on one side of the side frame for setting and storing stop positions and outputting a signal corresponding to each gunwale stop position.

The types of gunwale stopping positions that are set and stored in the computer of the control mechanism are, for example, 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, and 4 m.
, 5m, 6m, etc.

As means for adjusting the output of the signal to determine which of the gunwale stop positions has been selected from among the above gunwale stop positions, there is a method of switching and selecting by changing the resistance value using a variable resistor, a pulse switch, a tact switch, etc. For example, a method of switching and selecting depending on the number of pulse signals can be mentioned.

Further, when a variable resistor is used, any method of switching the resistance value may be used, such as a rotary knob, a push button, or a slider.

Furthermore, if the signal output adjustment means is a variable resistor, it is connected to the control mechanism via a detector that detects its resistance value, but in the case of a pulse switch or tact switch that outputs a pulse signal, it is connected directly to the control mechanism. Connect to your computer.

(Function) According to the above means, numerical values of several types of gunwale stopping positions are set and stored in the computer of the control mechanism, and the adjusting means for outputting a signal corresponding to the numerical value of each of these gunwale stopping positions is connected to the side frame. Therefore, when the adjustment means is operated to output a signal corresponding to the desired gunwale stop position, the control mechanism selects the numerical value corresponding to that signal from among the set gunwale stop positions. After selecting and storing the fishing line, when the fishing line is wound up to the selected gunwale stop position, the motor drive circuit is automatically turned off and winding of the fishing line is stopped.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the fishing line gunwale automatic stop position adjusting device in the electric fishing reel of the present invention is configured as described above, the signal output adjusting means provided on the side frame can be operated as appropriate. By setting the value to a desired value, the computer of the control mechanism selects and stores the numerical value of the gunwale stop position corresponding to the signal and controls the winding of the fishing line.

Therefore, the angler can freely set the gunwale stopping position according to the distance from the water surface to the gunwale of the fishing boat, the length of the fishing rod, the length of the tackle, etc.

As a result, when the fishing rod is set up, the tackle is at the angler's hand position, and the tackle can be taken in smoothly.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.A fishing electric reel A has a spool 3 rotatably supported between left and right side frames 1.degree. 3
The spool 3 is electrically driven via a motor 4 and a power transmission mechanism 5 built in the body of the spool 3, and the power transmission mechanism 5 is configured so that the spool 3 is rotated even when the handle 6 is manually rotated.

Furthermore, a length measuring mechanism B is attached to one side frame 2 that supports the spool 3 to measure the length of the fishing line let out and the length of the winding line onto the spool 3. A control mechanism C for processing signals from the start, stop and length measuring mechanism B is also equipped.

The length measuring mechanism B consists of a length measuring roller 7 that rotates in contact with the outermost layer of the fishing line wound around the body of the spool 3, and a roller holding case 8 that supports the length measuring roller 7. A magnet 9 is attached to the long roller 7, and a hole ICl0 and a substrate 11 are attached to the roller holding case 8 so as to face the magnet 9. The control mechanism C to which the signal from the length measuring mechanism B is input is a central processing unit (CPU).
It consists of an input 112 such as a keyboard, and a liquid crystal display 13 on which set values and detected values are displayed, and several types (six types are shown in the drawing) of gunwale stopping positions are input and set in the central processing unit. , and its central processing unit (CPU)
is connected to an adjusting means for outputting signals corresponding to the several types of gunwale stop positions input and set as described above.

The adjusting means comprises a variable resistor 14 and a detector 15 for detecting the variable resistance value, and the resistance value of the variable resistor 14 can be selectively varied by a rotary knob 14°.

Next, the relative relationship between the resistance value variable by the variable resistor 14 and the gunwale stop position can be varied from 0Ω to 60Ω in increments of 10Ω, as shown in Fig. 4, and when set to 10Ω. , the gunwale stopping position is 1m.

2m for 20Ω, 3m for 3QΩ, 4 for 40Ω
m% Assuming 5m for 50Ω and 6m for 60Ω, the detector 1 measures how many Ω these variable selected resistance values are.
5, and the measured data is input to and stored in the central processing unit (CPU) of the control mechanism C. Then, the gunwale stop position corresponding to the measurement data from the detector 15 is selected and stored from several types (six types) of gunwale stop positions input and set in the central processing unit (CPU), and the fishing line winding operation is performed. It is designed to stop at the selected gunwale stopping position.

Next, I will explain how to change the gunwale stopping position.
A tackle is set on the fishing rod, and when the tackle or weight is at the water surface position, the O-set switch 16 is pressed to cause the central processing unit (CPU) to memorize the zero-set position.

On the other hand, the angler sets the gunwale stop position in advance to a desired position by operating the rotary knob 14' of the variable resistor 14. The resistance value set by the variable resistor 14 is detected by the detector 15, and the gunwale stop position corresponding to that value is selectively stored in the central processing unit (CPU), and the fishing line is wound. When unwinding, the reel will be reeled from the 0 set position to the set gunwale stop position and then stopped.

After setting the gunwale stop position as described above, the clutch is turned off to allow the spool 3 to freely rotate, and the fishing line wound around the spool 3 is let out by the inertia of the weight.
The extended length is measured by the length measuring mechanism B, and the measured data is sent to the central processing unit (CPU) and stored.

Then, when the bait reaches the angler's desired shelf position,
By rotating the handle 6, the pinion gear 17 and the second armature 18 in the power transmission mechanism 5 are engaged, and the non-return gear and non-return pawl are engaged, thereby stopping the rotation of the spool 3 and stopping the feeding of the fishing line. be done.

To wind up the fishing line that has been lowered to the desired shelf position, turn on the winding switch 19, and the central processing unit (CP
U) commands winding up, the motor 4 rotates, rotates the spool 3 in the fishing line winding direction via the planetary gear 2o of the power transmission mechanism 5, and winds up the fishing line.

Then, the winding length of the fishing line is measured by the length measuring mechanism B, and when the value reaches the set gunwale stop position just before the 0 set, the motor drive circuit is automatically activated by a command from the central processing unit (CPU). It turns OFF and winding of the fishing line stops. For example, if the resistance value of the variable resistor 14 is set to 30Ω, the gunwale will automatically stop 3 meters before the O set.
