Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a fishing rod equipped with a sensor for measuring the tension of a fishing line and a control device for activating an informing means when the value measured by the sensor reaches a preset value. Related to the improvement of.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-31015 as a technique configured as described above. In this conventional example, a sensor for measuring the tension acting on a fishing line from the strain of a rod is used. A tension acting on the fishing line by including a processing unit, a numerical value input device, a storage unit, a display unit, etc., and inputting a numerical value based on the strength of the fishing line etc. through the numerical input device and storing it in the storage unit. However, when the stored value is reached, the notification means is activated.

[0003]

Considering the above-mentioned conventional example, in this conventional example, since the strength of the fishing line can be preset by the numerical input device, even when the fishing lines having different strengths are used, By inputting the strength of the fishing line, even a beginner can adjust the drag mechanism to prevent the fishing line from being cut.

Considering the cutting of the fishing line at the time of actual fishing, the cutting of the fishing line usually occurs at the portion of the Harris, but this cutting load is not determined only by the strength of the Harris, and it depends on the device. Since it also depends on the configuration, depending on the configuration of the work-in-process used, cutting may be performed with a load lower than the strength of this Harris.

[0005] In particular, the number of fishing lines on the market is displayed, but the strength is rarely displayed.
Even with the same number, the diameter of the fishing line varies from manufacturer to manufacturer,
Since the strength of the fishing line also differs depending on the material, and the strength also greatly changes depending on the length of the Harris, for example, when fishing with a small diameter Harris such as Ayu's friend fishing, even if the conventional numerical input device is used, It is conceivable that cutting will occur in the fishing line. In addition, in this conventional example, even if cutting occurs during actual fishing, accurate correction cannot be performed and there is room for improvement.

[0006] Further, when an awase operation is performed like a horse mackerel, a piece of thread is cut off at the needle-hooking portion to escape (barre).
In fishing targeting many types of fish (which tend to generate stinging), the awase operation cannot be performed too strongly,
In addition, since a sharp edge is generated even if it is pulled too strongly at the time of capturing, there is a demand for a technique for performing such a fishing operation and a capturing operation with an appropriate operating force. still,
When catching this type of fish, even if the same type of fish is targeted, the value of the operation force of the awase operation that causes sharpness also differs depending on the size (growth level) of the fish body. There is room for improvement from the viewpoint of operating with appropriate operating force.

An object of the present invention is to obtain a tension acting on a fishing line through a sensor provided at a portion of a fishing rod so as to enable an operation for preventing the cutting of the fishing line and the like. The point is to reasonably configure a fishing rod that can accurately grasp the adjustment of the rod operation based on the limit of cutting of the fishing line, the limit of the awase operation, etc. without impairing it.

[0008]

The features of the present invention are, as described at the beginning, a control device for activating the notifying means when the value measured by the sensor for measuring the tension of the fishing line reaches a preset set value. In the fishing rod provided with, the notification means is configured to be capable of changing the operation mode, and when the value measured by the sensor approaches the set value, the angler is warned by changing the operation mode of the notification means with the approach. The control device is provided with an operation mode changing means for evoking the above. The operation and effect are as follows.

[0009]

When the above features are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, for example, the sensor 5 provided on the fishing rod determines the tension of the fishing line 1 during actual fishing, and when the tension reaches a predetermined value, the control device Numeral 8 intermittently operates the notification means A at relatively long intervals, and thereafter, as the value of this tension rises and approaches the set value, the operation form changing means B shortens the interval of intermittent operations, thereby performing fishing. It makes a person recognize that the tension of the fishing line 1 has approached the limit.

That is, in the present invention, as in the conventional example, the fishing rod is provided with the sensor 5 so that the tension of the fishing line 1 can be measured. When the tension acting on the fishing line 1 reaches a predetermined value. The notifying means A is not simply operated, but the operating form is changed as the tension acting on the fishing line 1 approaches a preset value. Therefore, the angler determines the tension based on the operating form of the notifying means A. The tension can be adjusted by easily recognizing that the fishing line 1 is close to the cutting strength of the fishing line 1, or is close to the cutout value of the fish.

[0011]

As described above, it is possible to obtain the tension acting on the fishing line through the sensor provided on the fishing rod portion and to perform the operation for preventing the cutting of the fishing line, without impairing the conventional good surface. The fishing rod was reasonably constructed so as to be able to accurately grasp the adjustment of the rod operation based on the limit of cutting of the fishing line, the limit of the awase operation and the like.

Particularly, in the case where the value obtained by the sensor is held in the storage means and used as the set value, the control based on the actual accurate strength of the fishing line or the like becomes possible, and
If the sensor is configured to obtain the pressure between the fishing rod and the angler's hand, the rigidity of the fishing rod is high, and even a rod that does not deform significantly can obtain an accurate delicate tension.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an ayu rod. This ayu rod comprises a plurality of intermediate rods 4 between a tip rod 2 to which a fishing line 1 is tied and a base rod 3 at hand, and an outer surface of the rod 3. Is equipped with an annular pressure sensor 5 for measuring the pressure acting between the base rod 3 and the angler's hand, and the tension acting on the fishing line 1 is obtained based on a signal from the pressure sensor 5 and obtained. Based on the result, the notification means A is operated to prevent the fishing line 1 from being cut off and the fish from coming off.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, a controller 8 composed of a microprocessor for a substrate 7 inside a tail plug portion 6 screwed to the rear end of the main rod 3 and E ² PRO as a storage means.
Memory 9 such as M type, tilt sensor 10 for obtaining the tilt of the rod,
Buzzer 11 as drive means A, drive battery 12
Each of them is provided with a set switch 13, a reset switch 14, an input switch 15, a liquid crystal display device 16, and a light emitting diode 17 as a notification means A.

The butt plug portion 6 is attached to and detached from the rear end portion of the base rod 3 by a screw method, and pressure is applied to partition walls 18 formed between the butt plug portion 6 and the base rod 3. A signal cable 19 from the sensor 5 is inserted, and the insertion portion is sealed with a resin or the like which prevents water from entering the inside of the tail plug portion 6. As shown in FIG. 4, the butt plug portion 6 is provided with a lid-like portion 6A so as to be openable and closable, and the surfaces of the switches and the liquid crystal display 16 are formed so as to enter from the outer periphery of the butt plug portion 6. do it,
A lens 20 that suppresses erroneous operation of switches and that magnifies the display content of the liquid crystal display 16 is provided at this portion.
And the control system operates as follows.

That is, when the control is started by a predetermined operation, as shown in FIG. 6, it is judged whether or not the data is input by the input switch 15, and if there is an input, the value is DA.
Set to TA (# 100 step to # 300 step). In addition, the input of this data is the cutting strength of the fishing line 1,
Alternatively, when the value of the tension that causes the breakage during the operation is accurately grasped, the value is artificially input and stored (set) in the memory 9. At the time of this input, The input value is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16.

Next, the signal from the pressure sensor 5 is input,
This signal is corrected, and the corrected value and the DATA value are compared (# 400 to # 600 steps). By this comparison, the signal from the pressure sensor 5 is DA
When it is determined that the TA value is reached, the buzzer 11,
By performing a notification operation by driving the light emitting diode 17, the angler is made to recognize that the tension of the fishing line 1 has reached the cutting limit or has reached the limit value for the awase operation (# 700 step). , # 800 step).

In this control system, the tension of the fishing line 1 at the time of cutting and the fishing line 1 at the time of slackening at the time of manipulating are replaced by the step of storing the peak value, instead of the manual input described above. The tension is input only by turning on the set switch and stored in the memory 9, and these processes are repeated until the reset switch 14 is operated (# 900 step, # 1000 step).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the correction process routine is a process for correcting the tension acting on the fishing line 1 to an accurate value based on the signal value of the pressure sensor 5 based on the attitude of the rod. In this process, a signal from the pressure sensor 5 is input so as to correct the pressure caused by the weight of the rod when the rod is approached to a horizontal posture and the pressure change caused by the change in the angle at which the fishing line 1 pulls the rod. After that, a preset parameter is selected based on the signal from the tilt sensor 10, and a correction value is obtained by calculation processing based on each of the parameter and the safety coefficient (steps # 501 to # 50).
4 steps).

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, in the notification operation routine, the correction value is obtained by calculating the absolute value of the difference from DATA, and the smaller the value of the calculation result, the higher the duty cycle percentage. Set the output pattern of the intermittent signal, and after this setting, set the buzzer 1
1 and the operation is set to drive the light emitting diode 17 (steps # 601 to # 603), and of these operations, the steps # 601 and # 602 are collectively referred to as operation mode changing means B. The duty cycle is a ratio of ON time and OFF time when intermittently driving the buzzer 11 and the light emitting diode 17, as shown in FIG. 10. In this control, the value measured by the sensor 5 is Value set in the memory 9 (set value)
The closer the signal is to (the greater it is), the more the signal form is changed in such a direction that the interval of the intermittent signal is reduced to attract the angler's attention.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, in the peak storing routine, the set switch 13 is turned ON when the fishing line 1 is cut as described above, or when the fishing line 1 is slackened during the operation of the wheel.
The pressure sensor 5 allows the maximum value of the tension of the fishing line 1 at the time of cutting to be stored (set) in the memory 9 simply by operating.
Input the signal from, compare this signal value with the store data stored in the register, etc., and if it is determined that the signal value is larger than the store data, replace this signal with the store data and newly store data. The maximum value is retained by performing the operation of retaining the value as, and when the set switch 13 is turned on, the stored data is DA.
The TA is held in the memory 9, and after the holding, the notification operation is performed based on the value of DATA (# 901 step to # 906 step).
