Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is provided with a sensor which outputs a pulse signal corresponding to the amount of fishing line being fed out when the fishing line is fed out from a spool and when it is wound up. Based on the above, the present invention relates to an improvement of a fishing reel including a control device that obtains the amount of fishing line to be paid out from the spool and outputs it to the notification means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a fishing reel constructed as described above, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-107145. In this conventional example, a magnetic sensor for measuring the rotation of a spool. When the spool is rotated, the pulse signal from the sensor is counted, and the count value and preset data (the spool rotation amount when the fishing line is wound around the spool in an empty state,
Based on (relative data with the length of the wound fishing line) and the length of the fishing line paid out from the spool,
The value is output to a liquid crystal display type notification device.

[0003]

Here, considering the above-mentioned conventional example, in this type of reel, the control system is provided with a one-chip type microcomputer or the like to calculate the amount of fishing line fed out from the spool. It is usual that the processing and the notification processing for outputting the processing result to the notification means are collectively performed by this computer. In addition, in addition to the reel for fishing boats, it is desirable to equip the bait casting reels with the function of grasping the amount of fishing line fed out through the liquid crystal display, etc. There is a request that. However, with this type of reel, the spool rotation speed is 15000 rpm when casting in-process.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the processing speed of the computer cannot keep up with the speed of the pulse signal from the sensor when the spool rotates at a high speed, and an accurate value cannot be obtained. In other words, in a one-chip type microcomputer provided with a reel or the like as described above, a C-MOS type,
Although the power supply operates at a relatively low voltage of about 3 V and a low power consumption type is used, the processing speed is relatively low in this type of computer, and as described above, the arithmetic processing and the notification processing are performed. In the repeated operation, the cycle of this processing operation may become longer than the cycle of the pulse signal from the sensor, and in such a situation, the signal may be overread, leading to a measurement error. Therefore,
It is conceivable to configure the system that processes the signal from the sensor with a hard circuit independent of the computer, or to use a computer that operates at high speed. However, if you try to configure in this way, the power supply voltage will rise. Or, it requires special parts, which not only complicates the structure but also leads to an increase in cost, and there is room for improvement. An object of the present invention is to rationally configure a fishing reel capable of grasping an accurate amount of fishing line, even when the fishing line is reeled out at a high speed, without largely changing the conventional control system. There is a point.

[0004]

As described at the beginning, the feature of the first invention is that a control device for obtaining the amount of fishing line from the spool based on the pulse signal from the sensor and outputting it to the informing means. In a fishing reel comprising: a control operation of the control device, an arithmetic process for obtaining the amount of fishing line fed out from the spool based on the count value of the pulse signal from the sensor, and this arithmetic process, The batch processing mode in which the notification processing for outputting the processing result to the notification means is repeatedly performed and the single processing mode in which only the arithmetic processing is repeated without performing the notification processing are configured to be freely switchable, and this switching is performed. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a mode switching means, and the feature of the second invention is, as described at the beginning, that the fishing line from the spool is reeled based on the pulse signal from the sensor. In a fishing reel provided with a control device for obtaining the output amount and outputting it to the informing means, the control operation of the control device is such that the delivery amount of the fishing line from the spool is determined based on the count value of the pulse signal from the sensor. 1 arithmetic processing, the pulse signal from the sensor is input at every set time, and the total number of pulse signals within the set time is calculated based on the measurement result of the input cycle of the plurality of pulse signals at this input time. It is configured so that it can be switched to the second arithmetic processing for obtaining the amount of fishing line fed out from the spool, and is provided with processing switching means for performing this switching, and its operation and effect are as follows. ..

[0005]

When the feature of the first invention is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, for example, when the fishing line is fed out at a high speed from the spool 3 at the time of casting, the single processing mode is set by the mode switching means G. By the selection, although the notification is not performed in the state where this mode is selected, the control device 9 performs only the process of counting the pulse signals from the sensor S, and therefore the time interval for performing this process Even if the (cycle) becomes smaller and the number of pulse signals per unit time increases, the signal read-through will be reduced. Also, after the cast etc., the batch processing mode is selected, so that single processing is possible. The amount of fishing line delivered based on the count value in the mode is notified, and the amount of fishing line delivered from the spool 3 is also notified as in the conventional case.

If the feature of the second invention is constructed as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example, the spool 3 is used at the time of casting.
When the fishing line is fed out at a high speed from the control device 9, the process switching means J causes the control device 9 to perform the second arithmetic processing I, so that the control device 9 inputs the pulse signal at every set time,
By calculating the reciprocal of the input interval of this signal or the like, the total number of pulse signals is calculated, the amount of feeding of the fishing line is output to the informing means 7, and the first calculation processing H is performed after the casting or the like. Even if the spool 3 rotates at a low speed, it is possible to accurately obtain the amount of fishing line delivered.

That is, according to the first aspect of the invention, when it is necessary to count the sensor signals at a high speed, the operation of the control device 9 is simplified to improve the processing speed, so that the amount of fishing line fed out can be grasped. In the second aspect of the invention, when the pulse signal from the sensor S increases, the total number of pulse signals can be grasped by sampling at regular intervals. ..

[0008]

Therefore, even if the fishing line is reeled out from the spool at a high speed, the accurate amount of the fishing line to be reeled out can be grasped by improving the degree of software change without largely changing the conventional control system. The fishing reel was reasonably constructed.

That is, when the control is started, the signal from the sensor S is input, and the number of pulse signals from the sensor S is set to the count value N (# 101 step, # 102 step). The count value N increases or decreases according to the rotation direction of the spool 3.

Next, the state of the clutch mechanism C is judged by the input of a signal from the switch 10, and when the clutch is engaged (steps # 103, # 104), this count value N and a preset value are set. Map data M

That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, in this control operation, when the control is started, the flag is set to "0", and then the signal from the switch is input to determine the state of the clutch C, and the clutch C In the case where is in the ON state, the pulse signal from the sensor S is input, the number of this pulse signal is set to the count value N, and based on this count value N and the preset map data Map, from the spool 3. Find the amount of fishing line L
201 step to # 206 step).

As in the case described above, the map data Map includes the unit rotation amount of the spool 3 when newly winding the fishing line on the empty spool 3, and the winding length of the fishing line with respect to this rotation amount. This is a format in which data relative to the height value is converted into a map type and held, and a feeding amount L of the fishing line can be obtained from the rotation amount of the spool 3 regardless of the winding radius of the fishing line with respect to the spool 3. It has become a thing.

Next, the map data Map and the count value N
Decoding process (1)
After the hexadecimal data or the like is converted into a decimal number data code), this code is output to the liquid crystal display 7 (steps # 207 and # 208).
