BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric route-equipped yarn used as one of a pair of transmission lines used for transmission of signals such as tension signals or transmission of electric power, and this electric route. The present invention relates to a tension signal transmission line in a reel type automatic fishing machine using a trailing thread.

2. Description of the Related Art In a fishing apparatus using a reel, a tension detector for electrically determining a fish catch is used in order to enable efficient fishing. In fishing targeting a school of fish, a tension detector is attached in the vicinity of the tip of the road line in order to improve the detection accuracy of the tension by removing the resistance of seawater or the like acting on the line line. Therefore, it becomes necessary to guide the tension signal detected by the tension detector to the hull to which the reel is attached.As a method for that, a pair of signal lines insulated from each other is configured inside the yarn, and the tension is transmitted via this signal line. A plan to guide the signal to the hull has been proposed.

[0003]

As described above, when a pair of signal lines insulated from each other is to be formed inside the yarn, it is unavoidable that the outside diameter of the yarn increases. As a result, the length of the thread that can be wound around the reel is reduced,
Alternatively, the resistance of seawater at the time of hoisting increases, and since it becomes more susceptible to the influence of tidal current, there arises a problem that the distance flowed by tidal current increases. In addition, when trying to reduce the diameter of the thread, the thickness of the insulating material is insufficient with respect to the diameter of the signal wire, so the deterioration of the insulating material progresses rapidly due to friction and bending between the winding and the feeding,
Since the possibility of flooding the signal line is extremely high, the reliability of the signal line is reduced.

The present invention was conceived in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide an electric path with an electric path capable of increasing the reliability as a signal line without increasing the diameter of the path thread. An object is to provide a tension signal transmission path in a thread and reel type automatic fishing machine.

[0005]

A conductor is provided along with the conductor, and an insulator covering the periphery of the conductor is provided. Further, the tension signal transmission line in the reel type automatic fishing machine according to the present invention,
The electric thread with the electric path is applied to one of the pair of transmission paths that guides the tension signal sent from the tension detector main body to the tension signal input section, and the tip of the electric thread with the electric path is applied. A tension signal sending electrode that is provided on the outer wall of the tension detector main body that is attached in the vicinity, at least a portion of the surface of which is in contact with seawater and sends a tension signal to the seawater, and a tension signal input unit provided on the hull. A tension signal input electrode that is connected to an input terminal and has at least a part of its surface in contact with seawater and detects a tension signal sent to the seawater, and uses the seawater as the other transmission path of the pair of transmission paths.

(Although the following circuits are not shown in the figure, the configuration is an amplifier circuit and an A / D converter).

The operation of the reel type automatic fishing machine having the above-described structure will be described below. First, a partial operation of a main part will be described, and then the entire operation will be described.

The output 242 is applied to the correction value calculator 24 by
Since the data regarding the mounting position of the electric reel body 11 on the hull 18 and the width of the hull 18 are given, the correction value calculation unit 24 determines the rod tip roller 202 based on the output of the tilt sensor 25 and the output of the acceleration sensor 26. The position change in the vertical direction is calculated, and the calculation result is sent to the adder 236 as the output 241.

That is, the output 241 of the correction value calculation unit 24 is excluded 3
When only two outputs are added, the addition result is an output that indicates the depth from the assumed water surface, which is assumed to be the water surface that does not change due to waves. Summed output (output 28 of adder 236
1) is data showing the water depth in consideration of the vertical change of the rod tip roller 202 accompanying the swing of the hull 18.

The drive unit 28, to which the output 281 is guided, outputs the output
The electric reel body 11 is controlled so that the tension detector body 14 is located at the depth indicated by 281.

The circuit block 361 to which the output of the strain gauge 32 is guided converts the tension signal, which is the output of the strain gauge 32, into a current of 4 mA to 20 mA and outputs the current. Resistance R, conductor 5, diode
D, circuit block 361, tension signal transmitting electrode 9, seawater 19,
It flows through the loop composed of the tension signal input electrodes 7. Therefore, the output of the strain gauge 32 appears at both ends of the resistor R.

As shown in FIG. 7, the voltage across the resistor R operates as a water depth gauge whose output value is proportional to the water depth when the central portion of the diaphragm 34 is not pressed by the tension transmission portion 35. Therefore, when the tension detector main body 14 descends or rises, the change that appears in the output value is a gradual change, and no abrupt change appears.

On the other hand, when the fish is hooked on the hook 15, the diaphragm 34 is given a pressing force by water pressure and a pressing force by the pulling force of the stem thread 13 (given through the L metal fitting 35). Therefore, the output of the circuit block 361 is
If the water depth at that time is W and the output value indicating the water depth W is I1, the output value will change abruptly with the value I1 being the minimum value (indicated by 51).

Therefore, when the value changes gently, the tension signal input section 27 sends the value at each time to the yarn feeding control section 233 and the winding control section 235 as a value indicating the water depth, and the value In the case of abrupt change, since it is a fish catching state, the water depth is calculated based on the waveform state in a certain period, and the calculation result is sent to the hoisting control unit 235. In addition, the derived value is sent to the fish catch determination unit 232 without any change.

Hereinafter, the overall operation of the reel type automatic fishing machine using one embodiment of the electric path-carrying yarn and one embodiment of the tension signal transmission path according to the present invention will be described.

By using the keyboard 21, the hull
Width of 18, mounting position of fishing rod 20, thread feed speed of road thread 12,
Shelf depth, types such as "Ayashi" or "Squatting",
Input various data such as the type of fish to be caught.
These data are stored in the data storage unit 231, sent to the display control unit 237, and displayed on the display unit 22.

When the above initial setting operation is completed, each fish hook
The bait 15 is fed, the fishing rod 20 is tilted to the sea surface side, and the hook 15 that has finished feeding is thrown toward the sea surface. After that, the operation start is input using the keyboard 21.

The yarn feeding control unit 233 feeds the road yarn 12 at the set yarn feeding speed, and at the same time, the water depth by the signal from the strain gauge 32 (given as the output 271) and the electric reel main body 11 Feeding length (thickness of 12 threads,
Output 282 (based on spool diameter and number of revolutions). Then, the calculated value is sent to the display control unit 237 as the water depth to display the value on the display unit 22. That is, the water depth of the tension detector main body 14 which is sinking is displayed on the display unit 22 every moment.

When the calculated water depth approaches the set shelf depth, the yarn feed speed is gradually reduced, and when the set water depth is reached, the yarn feed is stopped. Then, the invitation control unit 234 is instructed to start the operation.

The invitation control unit 234, to which this instruction is given,
From the data programmed in advance for each fish species, according to the data corresponding to the set fish species, the electric reel unit
By alternately repeating the winding of the road thread 12 by 11 and the thread feeding, the fish hook 15 is given an invitation such as "Ayashi" or "Chaku" corresponding to the target fish.

At this time, when the road thread 12 swells due to the influence of the tidal current and the water depth of the fishing hook 15 changes, the change is indicated by the output 271. Therefore, the thread feeding control unit 233 causes the electric reel main body 11 to feed the thread. By letting you do the fishing hook
The water depth changes of 15 are automatically corrected.

When the fish hooks on the fishing hook 15 by the lure motion accompanied by the correction of the water depth, the diaphragm 34 causes the trunk thread to move.
It is pressed by the tension of 13. Therefore the strain gauge
Waveform 51, which represents a fish catch, appears at output 271 which represents the signal from 32. The fish hook determination unit 232 makes the judgment based on the waveform. This judgment is performed based on the tension waveform change and the fish hook judgment load that are programmed in advance for each fish species. Be seen. When it is determined that the fish is caught, the hoisting control unit 235 is instructed to start the hoisting operation, and the display control unit 237 is notified that the fish has been caught.

Display control unit informed that fish was caught
The 237 informs the angler that the fish has been caught by controlling the buzzer provided in the display unit 22 to ring.

The hoisting control section 235, to which the instruction to start the hoisting is given, is sent from the tension detector main body 14 and given by the output 271 in order to prevent the mouth of the fish from being cut off and the slack of Harris at the same time. So that the tension of the stem thread 13 becomes a value within a preprogrammed range (the calculation for removing the influence of water depth is performed by always referring to the output 282 indicating the payout length from the electric reel body 11),
While controlling the winding speed of the electric reel body (11), the fish hooked on the fishing hook (15) is pulled toward the water surface.

Then, according to the output 282 from the electric reel body 11, when it is detected that the fish is drawn near the water surface, the fish is further drawn while controlling the winding speed of the electric reel body 11 to be reduced. When the fish is pulled to the berth, the winding operation of the electric reel body 11 is stopped. Then, the display control unit 237 is notified that the drawing is completed. Therefore, the display control unit 237 sounds the buzzer in the display unit 22 and blinks the LED indicating the end of the pulling to notify the angler of the end of the pulling.

The angler who has been informed by the above display that the pulling of the fish has been completed, depending on the fish caught, takes in the fish with the tame net in some cases, or pulls up the stem thread 13 in some cases and takes in the fish. Then, the above-mentioned operation is restarted by feeding the fishing hook 15 again, throwing it in, and inputting the operation start again.

During the above operation, the hull is affected by waves.
Due to the change in the position of the rod tip roller 202 caused by the ascent and descent of the 18 and the rolling of the hull 18, an error will be added to each of the above controls. The error value is constantly corrected by the output 241 of the correction value calculation unit 24 given to the adder 236 which is sent out.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the impedance of the transmission line is lowered by the configuration in which the tension signal is output as a current, the influence of noise can be reduced. ing.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but the conductor 5 has been described in the case of using the twisted wire of the stainless wire or the copper wire. It is possible to use any other suitable material.

Further, the case where the tension signal is supplied to the conductor 5 has been described, but as another structure, a weight is attached to the end portion of the electric path-carrying yarn 12 and built in this weight. The same can be applied to the case where a current is supplied to turn on the LED or the like.

Regarding the tension signal transmitting electrode 9, seawater, and tension signal input electrode 7, from the tension signal transmitting electrode 9 side,
The case has been described in which the current flows through the seawater 19 to the tension signal input electrode 7 side, but it is also possible to have a structure in which a current flows in the opposite direction, a structure in which an alternating current flows, or the like.
