Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an electric reel comprising a rotating body for winding a fishing line and an electric motor for driving the rotating body in the winding direction. relates to a technique for causing a fishing tackle to perform a jerking motion required by anglers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as an electric reel configured as described above, there is one shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 170421/1983,
In this conventional example, a predetermined movement pattern is set in advance in the control system of the electric reel, and the angler inputs operating time parameters from the keyboard to cause the angler to perform the jerking required. ing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Also, considering the conventional example mentioned above, the structure of this conventional example changes only the preset motion parameters, so there is room for improvement as the angler may not be able to obtain the desired motion. .

It should be noted that the amount of shackle operation performed in boat fishing etc. usually differs depending on the type of fish being targeted, and even if the type of fish being targeted is the same, the amount of movement may vary depending on the length of the hook, the current, etc. Therefore, there is a demand for an electric reel that can perform a variety of jerking operations.

Therefore, the angler performs a jerking operation by controlling the electric reel, and the electric motor is controlled to perform the jerking operation using a so-called teaching playback method, in which the operation of the electric motor at the time of the jerking operation is memorized and reproduced. However, in this teaching method where the electric motor is actually operated and the operation is memorized, the only thing the angler can confirm is the rotation of the spool when operating the shank. It becomes difficult to grasp the amount and speed of movement of the bait, and there is room for improvement in terms of handling in order to make it perform the movements desired by anglers.

An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use electric reel that allows the angler to perform the desired action as faithfully as possible.

[Means to solve the problem]

As mentioned at the beginning, the present invention is characterized by a sensor that measures the tension acting on the fishing line during an artificial jerking operation in an electric reel equipped with an electric motor, and data based on the detection results of this sensor. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with storage means for storing the data, and a dividing means for driving the electric motor in order to reproduce the jerking operation based on the data stored in the storage means. , the effects are as follows.

[For production]

If the above characteristics are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, for example, the angler can perform an operation such as swinging the fishing rod up and down (or winding the fishing rod with the handle (4)). The change in tension during the operation is measured by the sensor (S) and is stored as data in the storage means (53) (teaching operation), and after this, when reproducing this jerk operation, the stored data and Equal value or sensor (S)
By driving the electric motor (6) so as to be measured, the jerking operation is automatically performed.

In addition, when reproducing this, feedback control is not performed as described above, and based on the data detected by the sensor (S),
It is also possible to perform so-called open-loop control by determining the rotation speed and rotation time of the rotating body (2) by calculation or the like.

In other words, the main point of the present invention is that when an angler performs a jerking operation, the tension of the fishing line (43) always changes, and that the tension data within a unit time includes the stroke and speed of the jerking operation. , and all the information for each interval, it is possible to reproduce the operations that an angler would actually perform by swinging a fishing rod.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Therefore, an electric reel that can faithfully reproduce the jerking operations normally performed by anglers has been constructed in an easy-to-handle format.
