Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the subject reel capable of accurately lowering a fishing tackle to the bottom by stopping the rotation of a spool when the measured value of the delivery speed of a fishing line measured by a measuring means coincides with a prescribed value stored in a memory means. CONSTITUTION:A delivery speed of a fishing line at a point regarded to reach the tackle to the bottom is stored in a memory means 91 for each tackle as prescribed value. The measured value of the delivery speed of a fishing line obtained by processing pulse signals transmitted from an encoder 75 is compared with the prescribed value by a controlling apparatus 63. When the measured value coincides with the prescribed value, the tackle is regarded to reach the bottom and the delivery of the line is stopped by coupling a clutch with a clutch motor 47 using a clutch motor driving circuit 107.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a fishing reel provided with an automatic fishing line feeding stop device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, most fishing reels have a built-in thread length measuring device for measuring the amount of fishing line delivered from a spool or the amount wound on a spool in order to improve fishing results. The device can be accurately set on the shelves.

In recent years, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2-15022.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-23934, etc., an actuator such as a solenoid or a motor is connected to a clutch mechanism for switching the spool between a winding state and a spool free state, and a preset shelf position There is known a fishing reel in which when the tackle is reached, the actuator returns the clutch mechanism from the spool-free state to the winding state to automatically stop the feeding of the fishing line.

[0004]

Thus, when the tackle reaches the preset shelf position in this way, the fishing reel that automatically stops the feeding of the fishing line has a water bottom such as the sea bottom. There is no problem when fishing flat and using the same fish layer as the previous fishing.

However, despite the fact that the seabed is rich in undulations and fish have the habit of swimming in the bottom, conventional fishing reels can properly carry out shelving operations corresponding to various seabed conditions. However, in order to reliably aim at the bottom, it is necessary to accurately measure the distance from the bottom every time, and to accurately judge the bottom to stop feeding the fishing line. It was the actual situation that the fishing could not be performed accurately and the fishing result could not be improved.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel capable of delivering a fishing line aiming at a bottom position with certainty.

[0007]

In order to achieve such an object, a fishing reel according to a first aspect of the present invention comprises a measuring means for measuring a feeding speed of a fishing line fed from a spool rotatably supported by a reel body. , Storage means for storing the feeding speed of the fishing line for each device considered to have reached the bottom of the water, stop means for stopping the rotation of the spool at the time of feeding the fishing line, and a predetermined feeding speed for the fishing line stored in the storage means. The measured value of the feeding speed of the fishing line measured by the measuring means is compared, and when the measured value matches the predetermined value stored in the storage means, a drive command is sent to the stopping means to stop the rotation of the spool. And a control means.

Then, the fishing reel according to claim 2 is
Measuring means for measuring the payout speed of the fishing line paid out from the spool rotatably supported on the reel body, storage means for storing the payout speed of the fishing line for each tackle which is considered to have reached the bottom of the tackle, and spool free state And a winding mechanism, a clutch mechanism for switching the clutch mechanism to the winding state, an actuator connected to the clutch mechanism for returning the clutch mechanism in the spool free state to the winding state, a predetermined feeding speed of the fishing line stored in the storage means, and a measuring means. In comparison with the measured value of the feeding speed of the fishing line measured in, when the measured value matches the predetermined value stored in the storage means, a drive command is sent to the actuator to wind the clutch mechanism in the spool-free state. And a control means for returning to the taking state.

[0009]

According to the fishing reel of the present invention, the control means compares the predetermined value stored in the storage means with the measured value of the feeding speed of the fishing line measured by the measuring means, and the measured value is the predetermined value. When it agrees with the value, the control means sends a drive command to the stop means to automatically stop the rotation of the spool, assuming that the device has reached the bottom of the water.

According to another aspect of the fishing reel of the present invention, when the measured value matches the predetermined value of the storage means, the control means sends a drive command to the actuator because the tackle has reached the bottom of the water. The clutch mechanism in the spool free state is returned to the winding state, and the rotation of the spool is automatically stopped.

Like the conventional yarn length measuring device, this pulse signal is used. Is input to the control device 63 to measure the line length of the fishing line 9, but in the present embodiment, the control device 63 further calculates this as the actual feeding speed of the fishing line 9 based on the pulse signal from the encoder 75. As will be described later, the actual measurement value obtained by this calculation is used to stop the feeding of the fishing line 9 due to the bottom of the tackle.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, on the upper side surface of the side plate 5, the motor output is adjusted to adjust the spool motor 1.
A motor output adjusting lever (hereinafter referred to as “adjusting lever”) 77 for varying the rotation speed of 7 is rotatably attached, and the adjusting lever 77 is connected to a rotary potentiometer 79 incorporated in the reel unit 1. There is.

As is well known, the potentiometer 79 moves the brush with a given mechanical displacement, slides it on a fixed resistor, and changes the resistance value to take out a voltage corresponding to the position of the brush. 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 resistance of the potentiometer 79 due to the operation of the adjusting lever 77 is changed as shown in FIG. The change in the value is input to the control device 63, and the duty ratio of the drive power supply to the spool motor 17 is variably controlled by the control device 63 as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the operation amount (displacement amount) of the adjusting lever 77. And spool motor 17
The rotation of can be controlled in multiple stages from zero to the maximum value (0 to 100%).

The control unit 63 has a control unit box 81.
The control unit box 81 is housed in FIG.
It is assembled between the side plates 3 and 5 as described above. And
On the operation panel 83 on the control unit box 81, the reel main switch 85 and the spool motor 17 are turned on.
/ OFF switch 87, mode switch 8
9 and a selection switch 93 for selecting a predetermined value of the feeding speed of the fishing line 9 stored in a storage unit 91, which will be described later, a set switch 95, a digital display unit 97, and the like, respectively. , A display device 99 for displaying the motor output by the operation of the adjusting lever 77, and
The measured yarn length is displayed, and the predetermined value stored in the storage unit 91 is sequentially displayed by operating the selection switch 93. Then, the indicator 99 is arranged so that the scale of the bar display amount is sequentially changed from "0" to "100" according to the adjustment of the motor output.

The fishing reel according to this embodiment is shown in FIG.
The spool motor 17 and the control device 63 are started by connecting the power cord 103 to the reel unit 1 via the connector 101 as shown in FIG. 1, but in consideration of safety, the adjustment lever 77 is once set to the “0” state. The spool motor 17 will not be driven unless it is returned to.

As shown in FIG. 5, the control device 63 includes the main switch 85, ON / OFF switch 87, mode changeover switch 89, selection switch 93, set switch 95, digital display section 97, encoder 75, and Reed switches 59, 61 and potentiometer 7
9 and the like are connected to the input side, and on the output side, the motor drive circuit 105 for the spool motor 17 and the clutch motor 47,
107, and the digital display unit 97 and the like are connected.

Further, a storage unit 91 is connected to the control unit 63, and the storage unit 91 has a No. 100 squid gimmick 1 m / s No. 100 tenbin gimmick 0.8 m / s No. 80 tenbin gimmick 0.3 m / As in s, the feeding speed of the fishing line 9 for each device considered to have reached the seabed is stored in advance.

That is, for example, the maximum sinking speed of the No. 100 squid tackle is about 4 m / s as a rule of thumb, and the maximum sinking speed of the No. 100 Tenbin tackle is 3 m / s, and 8
It is known that the No. 0 tenbin mechanism has a maximum settlement speed of about 2.5 m / s.

Therefore, the maximum subsidence speeds are calculated by multiplying a certain coefficient for each device to obtain the predetermined values of above, and the control device 63 inputs the pulse signal from the encoder 75 and calculates. The measured value of the payout speed of the fishing line 9 obtained as described above agrees with the above-mentioned predetermined values, which means that the payout speed of the fishing line 9 that had been paid out from the spool 7 by the tackle itself reached the seabed. It can be regarded as a decline.

Therefore, in this embodiment, for example, if the angler operates the selection switch 93 and the set switch 95 to select and set the above-mentioned predetermined value, the control device 63 sets the measured value of the feeding speed of the fishing line 9 as the measured value. The predetermined value stored in the storage unit 75 is compared, and when the measured value matches the predetermined value, a command is sent to the clutch motor drive circuit 107 to turn on the clutch in the spool free state by the clutch motor 47. The feeding of the fishing line 9 is automatically stopped.

Since the fishing reel according to this embodiment is constructed as described above, when the angler performs fishing, the power cord 103 is connected to the reel unit 1 and the main switch 8 is connected.
If, for example, an angler uses the No. 100 tenbin mechanism after operating 5, the digital display section 97 is switched to the selection mode by the mode selection switch 89 and the selection switch 93 is operated when the fishing line 9 is fed out. Since the predetermined values of above are sequentially displayed on the display unit 97,
The set switch 95 is pressed to select and set a predetermined value.

Then, the mode changeover switch 89 is operated to switch to the yarn length display mode, the adjusting lever 77 is once returned to the state of the motor output 0%, and then the clutch ON / OFF switch 87 is operated with the clutch ON. If
As shown in FIG. 2, since the clutch motor 47 moves in the direction of arrow C, the clutch actuating plate 37 moves in the direction of arrow A to turn off the clutch, and the reed switch 61 is turned on by the magnet 57 to turn it on. The clutch motor 47 is stopped by a command from the control device 63 that has input the signal.

Since the spool 7 is in the free state when the clutch is turned off, 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 75 in accordance with the paying-out length of the fishing line 9. The converted yarn is input to the control device 63 and calculated, and the pay-out yarn length based on the calculation result is displayed on the digital display unit 97.

At the same time, the control device 63 calculates the actual feeding speed of the fishing line 9 based on the pulse signal from the encoder 75, and compares the measured feeding speed with the above-mentioned predetermined feeding speed. Then, as described above, when the tackle reaches the bottom of the sea, the feeding speed of the fishing line 9 decreases. Therefore, if the measured value matches the predetermined value, the control device 63 issues a command to the motor drive circuit 107 that the tackle has reached the bottom. The clutch motor 47 is actuated and the clutch actuation plate 35 is actuated.
Moves in the direction of arrow B, the clutch is turned on, the spool 7 is switched to the fishing line winding state, and the reed switch 59 is turned on by the magnet 57, and the signal from the control device 63 which has input the signal is input. The clutch motor 47 is stopped by the command.

Since the feeding of the fishing line 9 is automatically stopped by turning on the clutch in this way, the line length display of the digital display section 97 can be grasped as the water depth to the seabed. In such a state, for example, 10m from the seabed
Is the shelving position, the spool motor 17 is driven by operating the adjusting lever 77 while watching the display on the digital display 97, and the fishing line 9 is wound up by 10 m, and the shelving operation corresponding to the seabed condition is completed. Will be done.

In this state, waiting for the fish to hit, and when the fish hits, the output of the spool motor 17 is controlled by operating the adjusting lever 77 according to the situation of hoisting, so that the fishing line 9 is most suitable for hoisting. It will be wound up at various motor speeds. If fishing is continued after winding, the clutch ON / OFF switch 87 is operated again to switch the clutch OFF, the fishing line 9 is fed out, and the same procedure is repeated thereafter. Operate the selection switch 93 appropriately according to the type of device,
It suffices to select one of the above-mentioned predetermined values suitable for the device.

As described above, in this embodiment, the predetermined value stored in the storage unit 91 is compared with the measured value of the feeding speed of the fishing line 9, and when the measured value matches the predetermined value, the clutch is turned on. Since the feeding of the fishing line 9 is automatically stopped, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to accurately perform the shelving operation corresponding to the seabed condition even when the seabed is rich in undulations. As a result, it is possible to feed the fishing line 9 accurately aiming at the bottom position.

In the above embodiment, the storage device 91 reaches the seabed with the following numbers: No. 100 squid gimmick 1 m / s No. 100 Tenbin gimmick 0.8 m / s No. 80 Tenbin gimmick 0.3 m / s. Although the feeding speed of the fishing line 9 for each device considered to be stored in advance is stored in advance, the angler may be allowed to input such a predetermined value into the storage unit 91 at a fishing spot.

That is, in addition to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, an input switch 109 is separately provided on the operation panel 83, and the control device 63 is set to the input mode by operating the mode changeover switch 89. When the display value is confirmed on the digital display unit 97, the input switch 109 is operated, and the set switch 95 is operated every time the input switch 109 is adjusted to one of the above predetermined values so that the predetermined values are sequentially stored in the storage unit 91. May be.

After setting the predetermined value in this way, the mode changeover switch 89 is operated to set the display mode, and as in the above-described embodiment, one of the predetermined values is selected by operating the selection switch 93. , Repeat the same procedure below.

Alternatively, each time fishing is performed, the actual subsidence speed of the tackle is measured by the encoder 75, the numerical value is displayed on the digital display section 97, and the coefficient corresponding to the tackle is stored in the storage section 91. Select switch 9
The type of the tackle is selected by the operation of No. 3, and the predetermined values such as the above-mentioned depending on the tackle are calculated by the control device 63 by the operation of the input switch 109, and this is immediately stored in the storage unit 9.
You may make it memorize | store in 1.

In the above embodiment, the clutch mechanism is turned on.
The rotation of the spool 7 is stopped to automatically stop the feeding of the fishing line 9 when it is OFF, but the means for stopping the rotation of the spool 7 is not limited to the clutch mechanism.
Other stopping means may be used.

In addition, the method of measuring the payout speed of the fishing line 9 is not limited to the structure of the above-described embodiment. It is needless to say that the rotation speed of the pressure contact roller may be measured, or the speed of the fishing line itself may be measured by marking the fishing line 9 or adhering a magnetic material. Similar to the embodiment, it is possible to achieve the intended purpose.

[0043]

As described above, in the fishing reel according to the first aspect, the feeding speed of the fishing line for each tackle, which is considered to have reached the bottom of the tackle, is stored in the storage means, and the predetermined value and the measuring means are stored. The control means compares the measured value of the feeding speed of the fishing line measured in 1. with the measured value and the predetermined value,
When the tackle has reached the bottom of the water, a drive command is sent to the stopping means to automatically stop the rotation of the spool. Further, in the fishing reel according to claim 2, the actually measured value is stored in the storing means. When it agrees with the predetermined value of, the drive command is sent to the actuator because the device has reached the bottom of the water, the clutch mechanism in the spool free state is returned to the winding state, and the rotation of the spool is automatically stopped. Therefore, according to the fishing reel according to each claim, even if the bottom of the water is rich in undulation, it is possible to accurately perform the shelving operation corresponding to the situation of the bottom of the water, and the bottom position. It is now possible to feed the fishing line aiming at the target.
