The encoder 79 is configured to convert the rotation into an electric signal and generate a pulse proportional to the rotation speed of the spool 7. The pulse signal is input to the control device 67 and calculated, and the calculation result is obtained. The amount of feeding and the amount of winding are displayed on the digital display portion 81 on the operation panel 57.

As shown in FIG. 1, in front of the right side surface of the reel unit 1, there is a motor output adjusting lever (hereinafter referred to as “adjusting lever”) 83 for adjusting the motor output to vary the rotation speed of the spool motor 17. The adjustment lever 83 is connected to a rotary potentiometer 85 incorporated in the reel unit 1 so that the adjustment lever 83 can be rotated over a range of about 120 °.

As is well known, the potentiometer 85 moves the brush with a given mechanical displacement, slides it on a fixed resistor, and changes its resistance value to change the voltage corresponding to the brush position. To take out. Then, by connecting the adjusting lever 83 to the potentiometer 85 as described above and changing the position of the brush in the potentiometer 85 by operating the adjusting lever 83, the potentiometer by the operation of the adjusting lever 83 as shown in FIG. The change in the resistance value of 79 is input to the control device 67, and the duty ratio of the drive power supply to the spool motor 17 is set by the control device 67 as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the operation amount (displacement amount) of the adjusting lever 83. By variably controlling, the rotation of the spool motor 17 can be controlled in multiple stages from zero to a maximum value (0 to 100%).

The control device 67 is housed in a control unit 87 shown in FIG. 1, and the control unit 87 is mounted in a watertight housing portion 89 which is integrally formed with the side plates 3 and 5 and is attached to the reel body 1. Has been. On the operation panel 57 of the control unit 87, the drive switch 59, the main switch 91 of the electric fishing reel, the ON / OFF switch 93 of the spool motor 17, the digital display section 81, etc. are arranged. In addition, the digital display section 81 is provided with an indicator 95 for displaying the motor output by the operation of the adjusting lever 83. Then, in accordance with the adjustment of the motor output, the scale of the bar display amount of the display unit 95 is sequentially changed from "0" to "100", and further, when the ON / OFF switch 93 is turned ON, the current position of the adjustment lever 83 is changed. The winding of the fishing line 9 is started by the motor output of, and thereafter, the rotation speed of the spool motor 17 can be continuously controlled according to the operation of the adjusting lever 83.

As shown in FIG. 6, the control device 67 includes the drive switch 59, the encoder 79, the reed switch 63, the reed switch 65, the potentiometer 85, the main switch 91, and the main switch 91. The ON / OFF switch 93 is connected to the input side, and the digital display section 81 and the motor drive circuits 97 and 99 of the motors 17 and 47 are connected to the output side, respectively.

In addition, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 101 denotes a power cord connected to the reel unit 1 via a connector 103. The power cord 101 is connected to a direct current of a battery or the like arranged on board by a crocodile clip or the like. By turning on the main switch 91, the spool motor 17, the control device 67, etc. are activated. Further, in FIG. 3, 105 is a well-known level wind mechanism.

Since the present embodiment is configured in this way, the clutch motor 47 is incorporated in the reel body 1 without increasing the size of the upper portion of the reel body 1. In order to perform fishing, if the main switch 91 is turned on to activate the spool motor 17, the clutch motor 47, the control device 67, etc., and then the drive switch 59 is pushed, as shown in FIG. The clutch motor 47 moves in the direction of arrow C, the clutch operating plate 37 moves to the position shown by the solid line, and the clutch is turned off. Then, the reed switch 65 is turned on by the magnet 61, and the clutch motor 47 is stopped by a command from the control device 67 which inputs the signal.

Since the spool 7 is in a free state, the fishing line 9 is paid out from the spool 7 by the weight of the tackle, and the rotation of the spool 7 is determined by the encoder 79 depending on the length of the fishing line 9 paid out. The pulse is converted into a pulse, which is input to the control device 67 and calculated, and the fed-out yarn length based on the calculation result is displayed on the digital display section 81.

Then, the angler may push the drive switch 59 again at the intended water depth (for example, “120 m”) while watching the display. Then, the clutch motor 47 rotates in the direction of arrow D as shown in FIG. 2 according to the instruction from the control device 67, and the clutch operating plate 37 moves in the direction of arrow B accordingly, so that the clutch is turned on and the reed switch 63 is turned on. Is turned on by the magnet 61, and the clutch motor 47 is stopped by a command from the control device 67 which inputs the signal.

Wait for the fish to hit in this state. When the fish hits, if the ON / OFF switch 93 is pushed, the spool 7 is rotated by the motor output at the current position of the adjusting lever 83, and the fishing line 9 is automatically wound up. .. The fishing line 9 may be wound up by the manual handle 23.

When the angler confirms the display device 95 and wants to wind the fishing line 9 slowly, for example, the adjustment lever 83 is adjusted so that the scale of the bar display amount of the display device 95 is “20”. If the fish is pulled strongly and Harris is strong, operate the adjusting lever 83 so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes “80”, and operate the adjusting lever 83 according to the winding condition. If the output of the spool motor 17 is controlled, the fishing line 9 will be wound up at the optimum motor speed for winding. Then, when the winding is stopped, the adjusting lever 83 may be returned so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes "0". Then, in order to continue fishing, it is sufficient to push the drive switch 59 again to turn off the clutch, feed the fishing line 9 and repeat the same procedure.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the rotational speed of the spool motor 17 can be finely adjusted, unlike the fishing reel according to the prior application of FIG. It is possible to wind the fishing line 9 at an optimum motor speed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the clutch motor 47 is mounted in the lower front part of the reel body 1 in which a sufficient space is conventionally secured, and the limited space of the reel body 1 is effectively utilized. In comparison with the fishing reel of No. 7, it is possible to prevent the reel from becoming larger. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the holding property of the reel itself is not deteriorated, and the opening above the spool 17 is wide. As a result, there is no risk of hindering the spool 1 summing operability.

Although the potentiometer 85 is used as a means for adjusting the motor output of the spool motor 17 in the above embodiment, a lead switch, a volume switch, a hall element or the like may be used instead of the potentiometer 85. Similar to the above embodiment, the winding speed of the spool 17 can be varied depending on the parts.

In addition, as for the delivery of the fishing line 9 and the line length measurement for measuring the take-up line length, instead of the encoder 79, a rotating body (spool interlocking gear, fishing line winding surface pressing roller that rotates with the delivery of the fishing line 9 is used). Needless to say, it is possible to use a yarn length measuring means for detecting the rotation of (1).

Further, in the above embodiment, the clutch motor 47 is turned on / off by operating the drive switch 59 by the angler. However, a shelf switch for setting shelving is provided, and the thread length is displayed on the digital display section 81. By displaying the shelves together with inputting the shelves position, the clutch motor 47 is activated by a command from the control device 67 when the yarn length is reeled up to the shelves position, and the clutch is turned off. You may make it switch to an ON state automatically.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the ON / OFF switch 93 is pushed, the fishing line 9 is started to be wound up by the motor output at the current position of the adjusting lever 83, and thereafter, in response to the operation of the adjusting lever 83. Although the output of the spool motor 17 can be continuously controlled, the ON / OFF switch 93 may be omitted. In this case, the adjusting lever 83 also serves as the power switch. Therefore, once the adjusting lever 83 is returned to the "0" position in consideration of safety, the spool 7 will start to be wound. Preferably.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the electric reel, and can be naturally applied to a fishing reel for winding the fishing line 9 with a manual handle.
