When the lever 51 moves in the arrow C direction by the rotation of the clutch motor 47, the clutch actuating plate 37 moves in the arrow A direction as shown in FIG. 4, and the clutch is turned off.

A magnet 57 is attached to one side edge of the clutch operating plate 37. Reed switches 59 and 61 turned on by the magnet 57 correspond to ON and OFF of the clutch plate 39, respectively. And is disposed on the guide member 45. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, when the clutch actuating plate 37 rotates in the direction of the arrow B by the rotation of the clutch motor 47 and the clutch is turned on, the reed switch 59 is turned on by the magnet 57 and the control device described later. The clutch motor 47 is stopped by a command from 63. Similarly, when the clutch motor 47 moves in the direction of the arrow C and the clutch operating plate 37 is returned to the position shown by the solid line to turn off the clutch, the reed switch 61 is turned on by the magnet 57 and the clutch motor 47 is controlled. The device 63 is stopped by a command.

On the other hand, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 65 is a pinion gear that meshes with the drive gear 29. It is rotatably and movably supported in the axial direction by a pinion shaft 67 supported horizontally between the pinions 5, and the pinion gear 65 and the boss portion 21a of the gear carrier 21 facing the pinion gear 65 are engaged and disengaged from each other. The clutch plate 39 is provided. The clutch plate 39 transmits or blocks the winding power from the spool motor 17 to the spool 7, and is urged toward the clutch operating plate 37 by a coil spring 69 as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the clutch operating plate 37 is moved in the directions of the arrows A and B by the clutch motor 47 as described above, the pinion gear 65 is moved in the axial direction of the pinion shaft 67, and the clutch plate 39 is turned off, that is, the spool motor 17 is moved. The winding power from the spool to the spool 7 is blocked or transmitted.

Further, in FIG. 1, 71 is a magnet embedded in the side surface of the spool 7, 73 is a reed switch arranged so as to face the magnet 71, and the magnet 71 and the reed switch 73 are provided on the spool 7. The encoder 75 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 63 to measure the yarn length. ing.

As shown in FIG. 1, a motor output adjusting lever (hereinafter referred to as “adjusting lever”) 77 that adjusts the motor output to change the rotation speed of the spool motor 17 is provided in front of the right side surface of the reel unit 1. The adjusting lever 77 is connected to a rotary potentiometer 79 built in the reel unit 1 so as to be rotatable over a range of about 120 °.

As is well known, the potentiometer 79 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 position of the brush. As described above, by connecting the adjusting lever 77 to the potentiometer 79 and changing the position of the brush in the potentiometer 79 by operating the adjusting lever 77, the adjusting lever 77 is actuated as shown in FIG. The change in the resistance value of the potentiometer 79 is input to the control device 63, and the duty ratio of the drive power supply to the spool motor 17 is used as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the operation amount (displacement amount) of the adjustment lever 77. It is possible to control the rotation of the spool motor 17 in multiple stages from zero to the maximum value (0 to 100%) by performing variable control with 63. It has become.

The control device 63 is housed in a control unit 81, and the control unit 81 is mounted in a watertight housing portion 83 which is integrally formed with the reel side frames 3 and 5, as shown in FIG. It is attached to the reel unit 1. Then, on the operation panel 85 of the control unit 81, a main switch 87 of the electric fishing reel, an ON / OFF switch 89 of the spool motor 17, a shading operation pattern selection switch (hereinafter referred to as “selection switch”) 91, Shaking operation pattern input switch (hereinafter referred to as “input switch”) 93, Shaking range change mode switch (hereinafter referred to as “range change mode switch”) 95, Shaking pattern change switch (hereinafter referred to as “pattern change switch”) 97, A digital display unit 99 and the like are provided respectively, and the digital display unit 99 is provided with a display unit 101 for displaying a motor output by operating the adjusting lever 77. The operation range, the number of the selected operation mode, etc. are displayed. That. Then, in accordance with the adjustment of the motor output, the scale of the bar display amount of the display unit 101 sequentially changes from "0" to "100", and the ON / OFF switch 89 is turned on to adjust the adjustment lever 77. The winding of the fishing line 9 is started by the motor output at the present position, and thereafter, the output of the spool motor 17 can be continuously controlled according to the operation of the adjusting lever 77.

On the other hand, a storage unit 103 is connected to the control device 63 as shown in FIG. In the storage unit 103, as in the conventional case, three ratchet operation patterns (for example, one-tier ratchet, two-tier ratchet, and three-tier ratchet) are stored in advance at the factory shipment stage, and the angler's selection switch 91 is stored. Any operation pattern can be selected by operation, and the operation pattern is displayed on the operation pattern display. Then, when the angler turns on the ON / OFF switch 89, a command is sent from the control device 63 to the motor drive circuit 105 of the spool motor 17, so that the spool motor 17 is driven according to its operation pattern. ing.

Further, in the electric fishing reel according to the present embodiment, the angler can store the drive operation pattern of the motor 17 in the storage unit 103 as a ratchet operation pattern.

That is, the control device 63 is switched to the input mode by the ON operation of the input switch 93, and the angler operates the adjusting lever 77 in this state to wind the spool 7, the stop time, the wind speed, and the like. The operation pattern is input to the storage unit 103 based on experience, and finally the input switch 93 is turned on again, the input mode is released, and the rattling operation pattern is stored in the storage unit 103. There is. During this input mode, the time during which the adjusting lever 77 is operated is the operation time of the motor drive circuit 105 of the spool motor 17, and the time during which the adjusting lever 77 is in the zero state is the operation stop time of the motor drive circuit 105. The variable control corresponding to the operation amount of the adjusting lever 77 is stored as the operation speed of the spool motor 17.

When the angler's selection switch 91 is turned on to select the stored operation pattern and the on / off switch 89 is turned on, a command is sent from the control device 63 to the motor drive circuit 105. , The shakuri is reproduced according to the stored operation pattern.

Further, the storage unit 103 can input a shake range for executing a shake operation pattern. That is, when the angler presses the range change mode switch 95, the display on the digital display unit 99 is switched to the shake range change mode as shown in FIG. 6 to display the input shake range. Then, the numerical value of the shaky range set by the operation of the selection switch 91 is increased, and the shaky range numerical decrease switch (hereinafter referred to as “decrease switch”) 107 provided on the operation panel 85 as shown in FIG. 1 is operated. By doing so, the numerical value of the set crimp range is reduced, so that the angler can set the crimp range of 11 m as shown in FIG. 7, for example, by operating these switches 91, 107. ing.

Then, when the angler next presses the pattern change switch 97 in this state, the digital display unit 99 displays the number of the rattling operation pattern as shown in FIG. 8. Therefore, the angler presses the selection switch 91 to select the desired pattern. When you select the operation pattern, the number of the operation pattern is displayed, and when you press the pattern change switch 97 again, as shown in FIG. The pattern selection is now complete.

Then, when the fisherman feeds the fishing line 9 to the shelf and the angler presses the ON / OFF switch 89, the ratchet operation is automatically started based on the operation pattern selected over the entered ratchet range. The crimp range is measured by the yarn length measurement by the control device 63 which receives the pulse signal from the encoder 75 and is displayed as shown in FIG. Then, when the tackle reaches the upper limit of the crimp range as shown in FIG. 10 and 0 m is displayed, a command from the control device 63 is sent to the motor drive circuit 105 to stop the spool motor 17.

Further, a timer 109 is connected to the control unit 63, and when the device reaches the upper limit of the shading range as shown in FIG. 10, the timer 109 is activated by a command from the control unit 63 and a predetermined time is reached. After a lapse of time (for example, 4 seconds), a command is sent to the clutch motor drive circuit 111 connected to the control device 63 to operate the clutch motor 47, and the clutch operation plate 37 moves in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. The clutch is set to OFF. When the clutch actuating plate 37 is returned to the position shown by the solid line and the clutch is turned off, the reed switch 61 is turned on by the magnet 57, so that the clutch motor 47 is activated by the command from the control device 63 which inputs the signal. It is supposed to stop.

Therefore, the fishing line 9 is fed again 11 m, but as shown in FIG. 11, when it reaches the lower limit (11 m → 0 m) of the crimp range, the clutch motor drive circuit 111 causes the clutch motor 47 to operate in response to a command from the control device 63. Is rotated, the clutch actuating plate 37 moves in the direction of arrow B to turn on the clutch, and the reed switch 59 is turned on by the magnet 57, and the clutch is instructed by the controller 63 which has input the signal. The motor 47 is stopped.

Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the spool motor 17 is driven by a command from the control device 63, and similarly, the ratchet operation pattern is repeated many times over the ratchet range.

The clutch motor 47 can also be driven by a clutch motor operation switch 113 provided on the operation panel 85, and fish is caught in the clutch OFF state during the scraping operation. At this time, the clutch may be turned on by operating the clutch motor operating switch 113, the ON / OFF switch 89 may be pressed, and the adjusting lever 77 may be adjusted to pull up the fish. When the fish is caught while the clutch is ON during the crimping operation, the ON / OFF switch 89 is pushed and the adjusting lever 77 is adjusted so that the fish can be pulled up.

In addition, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 115 is a power cord connected to the reel unit 1 via a connector 117, and this power cord 115 is connected to a DC current such as a battery arranged on board by a crocodile clip or the like. When the main switch 87 is turned on, the spool motor 17, the control device 63, etc. are activated.

Since the present embodiment is configured in this way, if the fish hits when fishing, regardless of the rattling operation pattern, the ON / OFF switch 89 is turned on. The spool 7 is rotated by the motor output at the current position of the adjusting lever 77, and the fishing line 9 is wound up. When the angler confirms the display 101 and wants to wind the fishing line 9 slowly, for example, he operates the adjusting lever 77 so that the scale of the bar display amount of the display 101 becomes "20", When the fish is pulled strongly and the Harris is strong, operate the adjusting lever 77 according to the winding situation, such as operating the adjusting lever 77 so that the scale of the bar display amount is “80”. If the output of 17 is controlled, the fishing line 9 can be wound up at a motor speed most suitable for winding. When the winding is stopped, the adjusting lever 77 may be returned so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes "0".

Further, in the case of reproducing the crimping operation pattern previously stored in the storage unit 103, by selecting the operation pattern with the selection switch 91 and turning on the ON / OFF switch 89, the control device 63 is operated. A command is sent to the motor drive circuit 105 to reproduce the check operation pattern.

Then, as described above, in order for the angler to store the rattling operation pattern in the storage unit 103, the input switch 93 is turned on to switch the control device 63 to the input mode, and the adjusting lever 77 is operated. The spooling operation pattern may be stored in the storage unit 103 by adjusting the winding time, the stopping time, the winding speed, etc. of the spool 7.

Therefore, in the electric fishing reel disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-119994, the rotation speed of the motor cannot be finely adjusted, but in this embodiment, the spool is used. Since the rotation speed of the motor 17 can be finely adjusted, it is easier to match the motor output with the optimum shading operation pattern as compared with the conventional example.

Then, when the stored operation pattern is selected by the ON operation of the selection switch 91 and the ON / OFF switch 89 is turned ON, a command is sent from the control device 63 to the motor drive circuit 105 and stored. Shakuri will be reproduced according to the operation pattern.

Further, as described above, when the angler inputs the shake range into the storage unit 103 and selects a desired operation pattern, and then presses the ON / OFF switch 89, the angle range is selected. The crisping motion will automatically start based on the operation pattern. The shading range is measured by the yarn length measurement by the control device 63 which receives the pulse signal from the encoder 75. When the tackle reaches the upper limit of the shaking range as shown in FIG. 10, the command from the control device 63 is issued. It is sent to the motor drive circuit 105 and the spool motor 17 is stopped. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time after the timer 109 operates, an instruction is sent to the clutch motor drive circuit 111 connected to the control device 63 to operate the clutch motor 47, and the clutch operation plate 37 is moved to the arrow mark as shown in FIG. The clutch is turned off by moving in the direction A, the reed switch 61 is turned on by the magnet 57, and the clutch motor 47 is stopped by a command from the control device 63.

Therefore, the fishing line 9 is fed again 11 m, and when the tackle reaches the lower limit of the crimp range, the clutch motor drive circuit 111 causes the clutch motor 47 to rotate by the command from the control device 63, and the clutch operating plate 37 moves in the arrow direction. The clutch is turned on by moving in the B direction, and the reed switch 59 is turned on by the magnet 57, and the clutch motor 47 is stopped by a command from the control device 63 which inputs the signal.

Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the spool motor 17 is driven by a command from the control device 63, and similarly, the ratchet operation pattern is repeated many times over the ratchet range.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the rotation speed of the spool motor 17 can be finely adjusted, the fishing reel can be compared with the electric reel for fishing disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-119941. A large deviation does not occur between the operation pattern actually input by the person and the optimum shari's operation pattern, and the motor output is gradually changed to match the motor output of the optimum operation pattern. Since it is easy to do, there is no so-called "wasteful time to adjust to the optimum ratchet operation pattern" unlike in the past, and the angler can promptly input the desired ratchet operation pattern.

In addition, in the electric fishing reel described above, after the input switch 93 is turned ON, the ratchet operation pattern can be input only by the operation of the adjusting lever 77. The input operability of the operation pattern is also better than the above.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the rattling range of the rattling operation pattern can be set arbitrarily, the fish layer that changes depending on the time and the environment can be compared to the conventional electric reel for fishing. This has the advantage that appropriate measures can be taken, and that practical crisping operation can be performed and fishing results can be further improved.

In the above embodiment, the adjusting lever 77 is installed in front of the right side surface of the reel unit 1. However, the adjusting lever 77 may be arranged on the operation panel 85 of the control unit 81 as shown in FIG. According to such an embodiment, the intended purpose can be achieved as in the first embodiment.

Further, instead of the potentiometer 79, a reed switch 119 as shown in FIG. 13 may be used to increase / decrease the motor output of the spool motor 17 in multiple stages. The present embodiment will be described below, but since the configuration excluding the devised portion is the same as that of the above-mentioned first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted here, and only the consideration portion will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 13, reference numeral 121 denotes a slide base installed on the right side surface of the operation panel 85 of the control unit 81. On the slide base 121, a slide lever 125 containing a magnet 123 is provided at the front and rear of the reel body 127. It is mounted so that it can slide in any direction.

A large number of lead switches 119 are arranged in parallel in the control unit 81 corresponding to the magnets 123, and the lead switches 119 are detected by the ON / OFF operation of the slide lever 121 sliding operation. The change in resistance value is input to the control device 63. Then, the control device 63 variably controls the drive power supply energization time rate to the spool motor 17 as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the operation amount (displacement amount) of the slide lever 125, and multi-steps the rotation (0 to 0). It can be controlled to 100%).

Further, in the display device 101 provided in the digital display unit 99, the bar display amount is sequentially changed by adjusting the motor output of the slide lever 125, as in the first embodiment. When the ON / OFF switch 89 is turned ON, the fishing line 9 is started to be wound by the motor output at the current position of the slide lever 125, and thereafter, the output of the spool motor 17 is continuously output according to the operation of the slide lever 125. You can control it.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the intended purpose can be achieved as in the first embodiment. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the potentiometer 79 and the reed switch 119 are used as the motor output adjusting means for increasing / decreasing the motor output of the spool motor 17 in multiple stages, but instead of these, a volume switch, a hall element or the like is used. Even with such parts, the intended purpose can be achieved as in the above-described embodiments.

Further, as for the feeding of the fishing line 9 and the measurement of the winding length for measuring the take-up line length, in addition to the spool 7 in each of the above-described embodiments, as is well known, the rotation that rotates with the feeding of the fishing line 9 is known. Needless to say, a yarn length measuring means for detecting the rotation of the body (spool interlocking gear, fishing line winding surface pressure contact roller, etc.) can be used.
