[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a sensor for measuring the amount of rotation of a rotating body for winding a fishing line, a holding means for holding data on the amount of fishing line let out corresponding to the amount of rotation of the rotating body, and a sensor for measuring the amount of rotation of a fishing line. This invention relates to an improvement in a fishing reel comprising control devices that read and process data from the holding means based on the required amount of rotation to determine the amount of fishing line drawn out from the rotating body and output it to the notification means. It is.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a fishing reel constructed as described above as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-107145. In this conventional example, an empty spool (
When winding the fishing line around a rotating body, a device (hereinafter referred to as a tool) that measures the length of the fishing line to be wound is attached. Control (hereinafter referred to as learning operation) is performed to measure the winding amount of the fishing line and store it in memory (holding means), and after the winding of the fishing line is completed, the rotation amount of the spool and the memory are stored with the tool removed. The system is configured so that the amount of fishing line let out from the spool can be determined based on the data held in the spool and displayed on a notification device such as a liquid crystal type.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Now, considering the conventional example mentioned above, in this conventional example, the amount of fishing line let out can be determined simply by measuring the amount of rotation of the spool. Compared to a system that determines the amount of fishing line reeled out from the amount of rotation of the rollers in contact with it, it has the advantage of not causing errors due to roller slippage, but on the other hand, when winding the fishing line onto the reel, Since a tool is required, it is necessary to attach this tool in an appropriate state when performing a learning operation, and there is room for improvement in terms of the time and effort required to attach and detach this tool. In addition, as a means for determining the amount of fishing line let out from the amount of rotation of the spool without performing a learning operation using a tool, fishing line wound around a spool as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-244249 is available. There are some configurations in which the diameter of the fishing line is entered in advance and the amount of fishing line let out from the spool is calculated based on the diameter of the fishing line and the amount of rotation of the spool, but the number of fishing lines varies depending on the manufacturer. Because of the difference, the obtained value will include an error,
There is room for improvement in this example as well. It is an object of the present invention to obtain the fishing line from the rotating body without sacrificing the good point that the amount of fishing line let out can be determined simply by measuring the amount of rotation of the rotating body, and without taking the time and effort required for learning operations. The object is to rationally configure a fishing reel that can accurately determine the amount of reeling out.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] As mentioned at the beginning, the feature of the present invention is that by processing the rotation amount determined by the sensor and the data of the holding means, the amount of fishing line let out is determined and output to the notification means. In a fishing reel comprising a control device that reads barcode data, data from a reading means for reading barcode data is held in the holding means, or
The present invention further comprises an input means for causing the holding means to select one of a plurality of sets of data set in advance according to the data from the reading means, and the operation thereof is as follows:
The effects are as follows.

[0005]

[Operation] When the above characteristics are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, for example, data obtained when winding the fishing line 2 around the rotating body 4 using a tool as in the past (unit of the rotating body 4) Data on the amount of winding of fishing line 2 relative to the amount of rotation),
By determining the number of fishing line 2 of each manufacturer in advance and converting it into barcode data, the angler can simply read the barcode 20 with the reading means 17 as needed. This allows you to set the same data on the reels as if you were performing a learning operation without using any of these tools. In addition, in the present invention, data (fishing line per unit rotation amount of the rotor 4 2) is obtained in advance for each number of fishing line 2 manufactured by each manufacturer and held in the holding means 14, and these data are selected using the data from the barcode 20. It is also possible to configure it to do so. In other words, in this invention, necessary data can be set in the holding means 14 without using conventional tools by simply reading barcode data with the reading means 17. Regardless of the number of fishing line 2,
This allows data to be set with less error. Moreover, after setting in this way, the sensor S measures the amount of rotation of the rotating body 4, as in the conventional example, and this measurement result is combined with the data in the holding means 14. Based on this, the control device 13 determines the amount of payout of the fishing line 2.

[0006]

[Effects of the Invention] Therefore, not only is there no need for tools, but it is also possible to set the necessary data with an extremely simple operation of reading a barcode.
A fishing reel has been rationally constructed that allows the amount of fishing line to be accurately determined simply by measuring the amount of rotation of the rotating body, as in the past.

[0007]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, between the left and right side cases 1, 1, a spool 4 with a built-in electric motor 3 as a rotating body for winding the fishing line 2, and a level winder 5.
In addition, the right side case 1 is provided with a drag operating tool 6, a handle 7, and a clutch lever 8, respectively.
Further, a control case 9 is provided between the upper portions of the left and right side cases 1, 1 to constitute an electric reel. The control case 9 is equipped with a liquid crystal display 10 as a notification means, a start switch 11 to start driving the electric motor 3, a plurality of control switches 12, etc., as well as a sensor S consisting of a pair of reed switches, and a control device. 13 (part of which functions as input means A) and E2 as holding means
A PROM type memory 14 is built-in.

The liquid crystal display 10 has a current water depth display section 10A, a previous shelf display section 10B, and a bottom shelf display section 10.
C is formed, and the current water depth display section 10A displays the length of the fishing line 2 being let out from the spool 4, and the previous shelf display section 10B displays the maximum length of the fishing line 2 let out or a constant value. The payout length of the fishing line 2 in a state in which the spool 4 is not rotated for a period of time or more is displayed, and the distance of the fishing line 2 from the seabed is displayed on the bottom shelf display section 10C by a predetermined operation. Inside the left case 1 is a wheel 15 that meshes with a gear 4A formed on the spool 4 and rotates in conjunction with the spool 4, and the sensor S is
Under the magnetic action of the magnet M attached to this wheel 15, the number of rotations of the spool 4 is counted, and
The rotation direction of the spool 4 is determined.

Further, in this reel, a ring-shaped index 16 is provided on the flange-like part of the spool 4 and is coaxial with the rotation axis of the spool 4.
When winding the fishing line 2 onto the empty spool 4, the fishing line 2 is wound up to the diameter indicated by this index 16.
By inputting data from the barcode reader 17 (an example of a reading means) with the barcode reader 17 rolled up,
After this operation, by measuring the amount of rotation of the spool 4 with the sensor S, the amount of the fishing line 2 let out from the spool 4 can be determined, and that value can be output to the current water depth display section 10A of the liquid crystal display 10. There is. As shown in FIG. 4, the barcode reader 17 displays the manufacturer name 18 of the fishing line 2, a column 19 for the number of the fishing line 2, and the barcode based on data measured in advance corresponding to this number. 2
By selecting and reading the barcode 20... of the data sheet 21 in which 0... is displayed, the data from this barcode reader 17 is input to the control case 9 via the cable 22 and the separable connector 23. This input is performed according to the routine shown in FIG.

In other words, this operation is called an input routine,
In this routine, when data from the barcode reader 17 is input, the data is transferred to the memory 14, the counter value N is set to "0", and the current water depth display section 10A of the liquid crystal display 10 is displayed. Set the displayed value to “0.
0" (steps #101 to #104). Incidentally, the input means A shown in FIG. 1 is constituted by software consisting of this routine. The data input in this way is the value of the winding amount of the fishing line 2 corresponding to the unit rotation amount of the spool 4 when the fishing line 2 of each manufacturer is wound around the spool 4 until it reaches the diameter of the index 16. It is determined in advance in the form of a parameter, and after input, it is held in the form of map data Map, and when the fishing line 2 is let out, regardless of the change in the winding radius of the fishing line 2 as the fishing line 2 is let out, The let-out length of the fishing line 2 is accurately determined and output according to the routine shown in FIG.

That is, this control operation is called a notification routine, and in this routine, the signal from the sensor S is inputted to determine the rotational direction of the spool, and if the rotational direction is feeding, the count value N is incremented. Further, when the rotation direction is winding, the count value N is decremented (steps #201 to #204). Next, unless this count value N is less than a predetermined value (when the fishing line 2 has been wound up and the fishing hook has been pulled up to a preset depth), the length is determined based on this count value N and the map data Map. The water depth data LN is obtained and output to the current water depth display section 10A of the liquid crystal display 11 (#205 to #20
8 steps). If the count value N is less than a predetermined value, "0.0" is output to the current water depth display section 10A (#
(Step 209), the count value N is incremented or decremented based on the rotation of the spool 4 even when "0.0" is output like this. As described above, the outline of the present invention described can be expressed as a basic configuration as shown in FIG.

[0012] This reel also has a control operation in which the electric motor 3 is driven to automatically stop the electric motor 3 when the fishing line 2 is pulled up to a predetermined depth, and a control operation in which the electric motor 3 is intermittently driven. A control operation is set to cause the device to perform a "shakuri" operation, and the automatic stop position is selected either using the bar code reader 17 described above or automatically setting the position. "Shakuri"
When performing the operation, the data sheet 24 shown in FIG.
By selecting the barcode data 25 . . . , the shackle pattern can be set with the barcode reader 17. In other words, as shown in FIG. 8, this automatic stop operation is called a boat edge stop routine, and in this routine, the length data of the fishing line 2 is
N is secured, this data value is compared with the value LS set in the CPU memory (steps #301 to #303), and when the length data LN reaches the value LS, the motor 3
(steps #304 and #305), and drives the electric motor 3 only if the start switch 11 continues to be turned on even in this stopped state (step #306).

The value LS in this routine is set in the ship edge setting routine as shown in FIG. 9. In this routine, when data is input by the barcode reader 17, the value LS Transfer to CPU memory and set flag to “1” (#401 to #
403 steps). Also, like this, barcode reader 1
If no data is input in step 7, the length data LN is within a predetermined area set corresponding to the vicinity of the ship's edge, and only if this state continues for a certain period of time.
The value of the length data LN is transferred to the CPU memory as the value LS (steps #404 to #408). In addition, in this routine, if there is data input by the barcode reader 17, that value will continue to be held, and if no data is input by the barcode reader 17, the device will be held at a position near the edge of the ship. The time-stopped position is automatically set as the automatic stop position.

As shown in FIG. 10, data input in the above-mentioned "shakuri" operation is performed when data is input from the barcode reader 17, and the drive time TD and drive speed TV of the electric motor 3 are determined from the data. and motor stop time T
S is transferred to the CPU memory (steps #501 to #503). Furthermore, after the data has been input in this way, control of the "shudder" operation is started by operating a predetermined one of the control switches 12, and as shown in FIG. 11, in this control, the electric motor is TD only speed T
After driving at V, the operation of stopping for a time TS is repeated (steps #601 and #602). Further, in this reel, the liquid crystal display 1 is turned on by successive operations of predetermined ones of the control switches 12.
As shown in (a), (b), (c), and (d) of FIG. Display status, current shelf display section 10A, previous shelf display section 10B,
It is configured to be switchable between a state in which only the bottom shelf display section 10C is enlarged and displayed sequentially.

[Other Embodiments] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention includes
For example, a plurality of sets of data may be stored in the memory in advance, and a control operation may be set to select one of these data by inputting data from a barcode reader. Instead of inputting data after winding the fishing line to the diameter indicated by the index, as shown in the figure, the amount of rotation of the spool is measured when the fishing line is wound around the spool, and that value is retained. In addition, it is also possible to configure the system so that the length of the fishing line is determined based on the total amount of rotation of the spool and the input data by inputting data from the barcode reader, and the control operation is set in this way. This also makes it possible to more accurately determine the amount of fishing line reeling out. In addition, the present invention can be applied to manual reels other than electric reels, and can be implemented by providing a reading means that cannot be separated from the reel body, and can be implemented by providing a reading means that cannot be separated from the reel body.
It can be implemented in various forms, such as configuring the system to notify the amount of fishing line reeled out in human language using a commercial sound source or the like. Incidentally, although reference numerals are written in the claims section for convenient comparison with the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the structure shown in the accompanying drawings by the reference numerals.
