Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly, to an improvement of a fishing reel provided with a drag mechanism for applying a braking force to the rotation of a fishing line winding rotor in the fishing line feeding direction. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Taking a trolling reel as an example of a fishing reel, a conventional fishing reel is equipped with a spool shaft or a drag mechanism having a structure for exerting a braking force on the spool, and a lever type drag mechanism. An operating tool is provided, and when the trolling reel is used, the braking force is artificially adjusted via the drag operating tool in accordance with the pulling strength of the fish or the amount of feeding the fishing line.

[0003]

The operation of the trolling reel at the time of initial setting of the braking force will be described. In this type of reel, the fishing line is fully wound around the spool (rotating body). A suitable braking force is set according to the strength of the fishing line by providing a means for applying tension to the fishing line. In this initial setting, the drag operation tool is preset at a predetermined position (hereinafter, referred to as a strike position), and the braking force of the drag mechanism is preset, and after the braking force is set in this way, The proper braking force can be obtained simply by setting the drag operation tool to the strike position.

However, since fishing with a trolling reel often targets fish with a strong pull, the amount of fishing line delivered when the fish is caught is large, and this is due to the reduction in the winding radius of the fishing line on the spool. Even if the drag operating tool is set to the strike position, the tension acting on the fishing line may be increased and the fishing line may be cut.
Further, when the fishing line is fed out in this manner, it is possible to manually adjust the braking force, but it is difficult to obtain an appropriate braking force according to the decrease in the winding radius of the fishing line. , There is room for improvement. An object of the present invention is to rationalize a fishing reel that sets an appropriate braking force and suppresses the cutting of the fishing line even when the winding radius of the fishing line is greatly reduced by the unwinding of the fishing line from the rotating body for winding the fishing line. The point is to configure.

[0005]

A feature of the present invention is to provide a rotating body for winding a fishing line, and a drag mechanism for applying a braking force to the rotation of the rotating body in the fishing line payout direction. A point provided with adjusting means for reducing the braking force of the drag mechanism as the body rotates in the fishing line payout direction, a fishing line winding rotor, and rotation of this rotor in the fishing line payout direction. And a drag mechanism that applies a braking force to the drag mechanism, and when the rotating body rotates in the fishing line payout direction, the drag mechanism braking force is reduced based on the rotation amount of the rotating body, and the drag mechanism slides. The value of the tension of the critical fishing line that generates
Alternatively, it is provided with an adjusting means for setting the value to a substantially constant value, and its operation and effect are as follows.

[0006]

When each of the above features is configured as shown in FIG. 1, for example, when the fishing line L is fed from the rotating body 4, the adjusting means A reduces the braking force of the drag mechanism D by the rotation amount of the rotating body 4. To do. Further, in the second aspect of the present invention, when the rotating body 4 rotates in the feeding direction of the fishing line L, the adjusting means A automatically reduces the braking force of the drag mechanism D to cause the drag mechanism D to slip. The value of the tension of the critical fishing line L to be made uniform is achieved, and since this equalization is performed based on the amount of rotation of the rotating body 4, as compared with the case where the drag operating tool 20 is artificially operated. Highly accurate adjustment will be performed.

[0007]

Therefore, due to the improvement in the provision of the adjusting means, even if the winding radius of the fishing line is greatly reduced, the angler can set an appropriate braking force to the drag mechanism without manually performing special operation. As a result, the fishing reel that suppresses the cutting of the fishing line was rationally constructed.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, a handle shaft 6 for supporting a spool 4 as a rotating body through a ball bearing 3 on a support shaft 2 arranged in a horizontal posture on a reel body 1 and for connecting the handle 5 together. A trolling reel is formed by forming a transmission system for transmitting the power from the transmission mechanism to the spool 4 via the drag mechanism D and the drag mechanism D.

This reel is equipped with a click mechanism composed of a resin ring material 9 provided on the side surface of the spool 4 on the side opposite to the handle and a projecting piece 10 so as to generate an intermittent sound when the spool 4 rotates. In the mechanism, a large number of openings 9A having inclined surfaces 9S are formed on the opening edge of the ring material 9, and the projecting piece 10 is biased to project toward the ring material 9 side.

The inclined surface 9S is arranged on the lower side of the fishing line winding direction W so as to reduce the resistance when the fishing line is wound. Further, one of the gears 7 and 8 of the speed change mechanism, which is on the support shaft side, is supported by the support shaft 2 in a free-wheeling manner, and is also interposed between the reel body 1 and the roller type one-way clutch 1.
Reverse rotation (rotation in the fishing line feeding direction) is blocked by 1, and a sleeve 12 that receives the braking force of the drag mechanism D is connected to the gear 8.

Incidentally, the support shaft 2 is prevented from rotating by engaging the pin 13 at the shaft end with the recess 1A of the reel unit 1. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the drag mechanism D is provided with a plate 14 formed by previously joining a copper plate 14A and a stainless plate 14B to the side surface of the spool, and a friction plate 15 that contacts the plate 14 is attached. The sleeve 12 is provided with oil 17 enclosed in a protective material 16 covering the sleeve 12, and at the time of braking of the drag mechanism D, the heat distribution of the copper plate 14A and the stainless plate 14B is made good by heat transfer to make the heat distribution uniform. At the same time, the oil 17 prevents deterioration of the friction surface, and the fins 18 formed on the protective material 16
It is designed to radiate heat through.

In the drag mechanism D, the operation force is transmitted to the spool 4 via the disc spring 19 and the bearing 3 by pulling the support shaft 2 toward the handle (right side in FIG. 1). Then, the entire spool 4 is displaced so as to increase the braking force. This braking force is manually operated by the lever-like operation tool 20 and automatically operated by the gear type adjusting means A based on the spool rotation. Adjusted by and. That is, the preset dial 21 is screwed into the threaded portion 2S at the end of the support shaft 2, and the dial 21 and the reel body 1 are fitted between the dial 21 and the reel body 1 so as not to rotate relative to the reel body 1. The support piece 22 that is integrally supported, the first cam 23 integrally formed on the operation tool 20, and the second cam 24 that is fitted and supported in the reel body 1 in a non-rotating state.
And a rotatable member 25 rotatable with respect to the support shaft 2, and when the operating tool 20 is rocked, the first cam 23
By the action of the cam surface formed between the support piece 22 and the support piece 22, the amount of displacement of the support shaft 2 changes and the braking force of the drag mechanism D is adjusted.

Further, between the gear portion 4A formed on the spool 4 and the gear portion 25A formed on the rotating member 25, an input gear 26, an output gear 27, a clutch mechanism 28, and a planetary gear, or When the adjusting means A including the speed reducer 29 that greatly reduces the rotation amount by an intermittent gear or the like is interposed and the fishing line L is fed from the spool 4, the rotating member 25 is rotated by the power from the adjusting means A. The braking force of the drag mechanism D is automatically reduced by the action of the cam surface formed between the rotating member 25 and the second cam 24. Incidentally, the support piece 22 and the first cam 2
3, a riding-up type cam for adjusting the distance between the spool shaft 2 and each other along the axial direction of the spool shaft 2 is formed by each relative rotation phase. A cam surface having a similar structure is formed between the rotary member 25 and the cam surface so that the second cam 24 and the rotary member 25 come closer to each other as the amount of the fishing line L fed from the spool 4 increases. The shape of the surface is set, so that the braking force of the drag mechanism is adjusted as described above.

The amount of reduction of the braking force by the adjusting means A is irrespective of the winding radius of the fishing line L on the spool 4,
The shape of the cam surface between the rotating member 25 and the second cam 24 is set so that the value of the tension of the fishing line that causes slippage in the drag mechanism D is kept constant, and the adjustment state of the braking force thereof is shown in FIG. It is represented as a graph. In this graph, when the adjusting means A is not operated, the braking force acting on the fishing line L from the drag mechanism D increases as the winding diameter of the fishing line L with respect to the spool decreases, as indicated by the broken line X. When A is operated, the adjusting means A
As shown by the alternate long and short dash line Y, as the winding diameter of the fishing line on the spool decreases, the braking force on the fishing line L is reduced. As a result, these braking forces are combined, and as shown by the solid line Z in the graph. , Fishing line L
Therefore, the braking force acting on is uniformed.

[Other Embodiments] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention measures the amount of rotation of the spool by a signal from a sensor 32 which is acted upon by the magnetism of a magnet 31 embedded in the spool, as shown in FIG. 6, for example. By providing the control device 34 for driving the electric motor 33 based on the measurement result, it is possible to configure the adjusting means A of an electrically operated type. Further, in the present invention, if the adjusting means A is a gear type, the reduction ratio can be changed or the cam surface can be selected so that the operating characteristics of the adjusting means A can be changed according to the diameter of the fishing line L. A structure may be adopted, and if the adjusting means A is of an electric type, it can be implemented in various forms such as setting a program so that the control characteristics can be changed.
