A cam 55 is provided at the base of each 53, and the eccentric pin 43 is fitted in the elongated hole 49.

In FIG. 1, 57 is a pinion gear that meshes with the drive gear 31. The pinion gear 57 is supported by a pinion shaft 59 supported on the axis of the spool 11 so as to be rotatable and movable in its axial direction. Has been done. A clutch plate 47 that engages and disengages the pinion gear 57 and the reduction gear mechanism 23 facing the pinion gear 57 is mounted.

The clutch plate 47 transmits the winding power from the spool drive motor 19 to the spool 11 or interrupts it, and is urged toward the clutch operating plate 45 by a coil spring 61 as shown in FIG. ing. When the angler rotates the clutch lever 41 in the directions of arrows A and B as shown in FIG. 5, the clutch actuating plates 45 in which the eccentric pins 43 of the clutch lever 41 are fitted move in the directions of arrows C and D, respectively. In conjunction with this, the pinion gear 57 moves in the axial direction of the pinion shaft 59, and the clutch plate 47 switches the spool 11 to the clutch ON (winding state) or the clutch OFF (spool free state).

In addition to the above-mentioned structure, in the present embodiment, when the clutch lever 41 is in the clutch OFF position as shown in FIG. 4, when the clutch motor drive switch 65 on the operation panel 63 is pushed, the control means is operated. The clutch drive motor 67 is rotated by a command (not shown), and its rotational force causes the clutch lever 41 to return to the clutch ON position and automatically switch to the clutch ON state.

That is, in FIG. 1, 69 is a well-known level winder mechanism mounted in front of the upper part of the reel body 13. Conventionally, in this type of fishing reel, a little amount is provided between the side plates below the level winder mechanism. The space is left.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, between the lower side plates 15 and 17 of the level winder mechanism 69, a cylindrical power source storage case 71 made of a material having a high thermoelectric coefficient is provided. Is installed along the spool 11, and the inside of the power source storage case 71 is partitioned into two chambers by a partition plate 73, and one side is electrically driven by the clutch drive motor 67 and the yarn length measuring device attached to the reel unit 13. It houses four batteries 75 as a power source for operating the equipment, and the above clutch drive motor 67 in the other side. A power source storage case 71 has an opening / closing lid 77 for battery replacement attached to one end. A motor shaft 79 of the clutch drive motor 67 projects from the other end side of 71. The rotary plate 83 is attached to the motor shaft 79 via the attachment member 81.

As shown in FIG. 5, the rotary plate 83 is adapted to rotate in the direction of arrow E by the clutch drive motor 67, and four protrusions 85 are provided on the peripheral portion at 90 ° intervals with a manual handle. It is projected in 25 directions. Then, these projections 85 come into contact with the kick lever 87 attached to the tip of the operating piece 51.

One of the operation pieces 51 and 53 described above is extended in the direction of the rotary plate 83 as shown in FIG. 4, and the projection 89 protruding on the tip side of the operation piece 51 extends the length of the kick lever 87. It is fitted in the hole 91. Then, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the kick lever 87 is moved in the direction of the arrow F (center of the rotary plate 83) by the tension spring 93 hung between the projection 89 and the rear end of the elongated hole 91. The projection 85 is capable of abutting on the tip end 87a formed obliquely. When the clutch lever 41 is operated to the clutch OFF position as shown in FIG. 4, the clutch operating plate 45 moves in the direction of arrow C and the operating piece 51 also moves in the same direction. Even if the projection 85 is in contact with 87a, the kick lever 87 remains in that state, and the tension spring 93 contracts in sequence. It does not cause any problems.

Then, as described above, when the rotating plate 83 is rotated in the arrow E direction by the clutch drive motor 67, the kick lever 87 is pushed up in the arrow G direction by the protrusion 85, and the protrusion 89 hits the tip portion of the long hole 91. Contact. Then, when the rotary plate 83 further rotates in this state, the clutch actuating plate 45 moves in the direction of arrow D via the kick lever 87 by the rotational force, and the clutch lever 41 causes the clutch ON as shown in FIG. It is designed to return to the position. Thus, by returning the clutch lever 41 from the clutch OFF to the clutch ON position in this way, the clutch is turned ON and the spool 11 is automatically in the winding state.

As shown in FIG. 4, a magnet 93 is embedded in one side edge of the clutch actuating plate 45, and a reed switch 95 that is turned on by the magnet 93 is arranged in correspondence with turning on of the clutch. Has been done. Then, as described above, when the clutch drive plate 67 moves in the direction of the arrow D by the rotation of the clutch drive motor 67 and the clutch is turned on as shown in FIG. 4, the reed switch 95 is turned on and the signal is input. The clutch drive motor 67 is stopped by a command from the control means.

In addition, in FIG. 4, 97 is a torsion coil spring for stopping the clutch lever 41 in the clutch ON position by its urging force, and 99 is a stopper projectingly provided at the tip of the operating piece 51, which is the stopper 99. Regulates the rotation of the kick lever 87 about the protrusion 89 when the kick lever 87 is pushed up by the rotation of the rotary plate 83.

In FIG. 1, 101 is a magnet embedded in the side surface of the spool 11, 103 is a reed switch arranged so as to face the magnet 101, and the magnet 101 and the reed switch 103 rotate the spool 11. The encoder 105 is configured to generate a pulse proportional to the rotational speed of the spool 11 by converting the pulse signal into an electric signal. This pulse signal is input to the controller of the yarn length measuring device incorporated in the same manner as the conventional one, and the calculation is performed. Then, the calculation result is displayed on the digital display unit 107 on the operation panel 63 as the feeding amount and the winding amount of the fishing line.

Reference numeral 109 denotes a spool motor drive switch of the spool drive motor 19 provided on the operation panel 63. The spool drive motor 19 arranges the power cord 113 connected to the reel unit 13 via the connector 111 on the ship. It is energized by connecting it to the power source with a crocodile clip.

In the fishing reel according to the present embodiment, the clutch drive motor 67 and the battery 75 are thus housed between the side plates 15 and 17 below the level winder mechanism 69, and the clutch drive motor is driven by the battery 75. The electric devices such as 67 and the yarn length measuring device are activated.

Therefore, in order to perform fishing with such a fishing reel, if the clutch lever 41 is manually operated to the clutch OFF position as shown in FIG. 4, the clutch operating plate 45 moves in the direction of arrow C and the clutch is moved. Turns off.

Since the spool 11 is in the spool free state when the clutch is turned off, the fishing line is paid out from the spool 11 due to the weight of the tackle etc., and the rotation of the spool 11 is determined by the encoder 105 according to the fishing line payout length. The converted yarn is input to the control means of the yarn length measuring device for calculation, and the fed-out yarn length based on the calculation result is displayed on the digital display unit 107.

Therefore, the angler may manually return the clutch lever 41 to the clutch ON position or press the clutch motor drive switch 65 at a predetermined water depth while watching the display.

When the clutch motor drive switch 65 is operated in this manner, the clutch drive motor 67 supplies power to the battery 75 to rotate in response to a command from the control means. Therefore, as described above, the rotational force of the rotary plate 83, It is transmitted to the clutch operating plate 45 by the projection 85 and the kick lever 87, the clutch operating plate 45 moves in the direction of arrow D, the clutch lever 41 returns to the clutch ON position, and the spool 11 is in the winding state. It

Wait for the fish to hit in this state. The power cord 113 is connected to the reel unit 13 in advance via the connector 111. When the fish hits, the spool motor drive switch 109 is operated to rotate the spool 11 by the rotation of the spool drive motor 19 to wind the fishing line on the spool 11 and stop the winding. In that case, the operation of the spool motor drive switch 109 may be stopped.

If fishing is further continued, the clutch lever 41 may be manually operated again as shown in FIG. 4 to switch the clutch OFF, the fishing line may be fed out, and the same procedure may be repeated thereafter.

As described above, in this embodiment, the cylindrical power source storage case 71 is installed along the spool 11 between the side plates 15 and 17 below the level winder mechanism 69, and the clutch is provided in the power source storage case 71. Since the drive motor 67 and four batteries 75 are housed as a power source for operating the clutch drive motor 67 and electric devices such as the yarn length measuring device, the reel main body 13 is miniaturized. According to this, the entire reel does not become large like the fishing reel 7 shown in FIG. 10, and as a result, the operability when it is used by attaching it to a fishing rod is improved as compared with the conventional one. It was

However, if the fishing reel is dropped by mistake, the conventional fishing reel 7 shown in FIG. 10 has a handle 3 as a battery housing portion that projects outwardly. Although the handle 3 may be deformed by the impact and the power supply function may be hindered, such a problem does not occur according to the present embodiment.

7 and 8 show a fishing reel according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The configuration will be described below with reference to the drawings. Since the configuration excluding the devised portion is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted here, and the devised portion will be described exclusively. To do. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals.

FIG. 7 is a partially cut-away rear view of the fishing reel according to this embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a partially cut-away side view thereof, in which 115 is the same as the power supply storage case 71 described above. A cylindrical power source storage case is installed along the spool 11 between the side plates 15 and 17 below the level winder mechanism 69. The interior of the power source storage case 115 is divided into two chambers by a partition wall 117. . On one side, a solenoid 119 is housed in place of the clutch drive motor 67, and on the other side, four batteries 75 are used as a power source for operating the solenoid 119, the yarn length measuring device and other electric devices. An opening / closing lid 123 for battery replacement is attached to one end of the power source storage case 115, and an operating rod 125 of a solenoid 119 is movably protruded in the directions of arrows H and I at the other end. .

Reference numeral 127 denotes a clutch actuating plate for actuating the clutch plate 47. As shown in FIG. 8, like the clutch actuating plate 45, a long hole into which the eccentric pin 43 of the clutch lever 41 is fitted is provided at one end thereof. 49 is formed.

The clutch actuating plate 127 is supported by a tension spring 131 stretched between the projecting piece 129 provided on the upper edge of the clutch actuating plate 127 and the side plate 17, and the solenoid drive switch (on the operation panel 63) ( When an angler operates the clutch lever 41 in the direction of arrow A with OFF (not shown), the clutch operating plate 127 moves in the direction of arrow C against the spring force of the tension spring 131, and the first embodiment is performed. Similar to the example, the pinion gear 57 is moved in the axial direction of the pinion shaft 59 in conjunction with this, and the clutch plate 47 switches the spool 11 to the clutch OFF state.

Further, the reel body 121 is provided with a substantially U-shaped locking member 135 with which the locking piece 133 provided on the upper edge of the clutch operating plate 127 is locked when the clutch is turned off.

The engaging piece 133 is adapted to engage with the engaging member 135 by the movement of the clutch actuating plate 127 in the direction of arrow C, but as shown in FIG. 8, the clutch actuating plate 127 is indicated by arrow C. When the locking piece 133 contacts the locking member 135 by moving in the direction, the clutch actuating plate 127 slightly moves in the direction of arrow J against the spring force of the tension spring 131 with the eccentric pin 43 as the center of rotation. In order that the engaging piece 133 can be engaged with the engaging member 135, inclined portions 133a and 135a are formed on the contact surfaces of the engaging piece 133 and the engaging member 135, respectively.

In this embodiment, when the clutch lever 41 is in the clutch OFF position, the clutch lever 41 moves in the direction of arrow B by operating the solenoid drive switch on the operation panel 63. It is designed to return to the ON position.

That is, the clutch operating plate 127 has an operating piece 137 extending in the direction of the solenoid 119, and an operating rod insertion hole 139 is formed in the operating piece 137. When the clutch operating plate 127 is at the clutch ON position shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, the operating rod insertion hole 139 is connected to the large diameter portion 139a into which the operating rod 125 protruding in the arrow H direction is inserted, and the connecting portion. It is composed of a long hole portion 139b to be provided. When the solenoid drive switch on the operation panel 63 is turned on with the clutch off, the actuating rod 125 of the solenoid 119 projects in the direction of arrow H as shown in FIG. The portion 125a abuts on the edge of the long hole portion 139b and moves the clutch actuating plate 127 in the direction of arrow J against the spring force of the tension spring 131, so that the engagement piece 133 and the engagement member 135 are engaged with each other. It is designed to release the stopped state.

Thus, when the engagement state between the engagement piece 133 and the engagement member 135 is released by the movement of the clutch operation plate 127 in the direction of the arrow J, the clutch operation plate 127 is pulled. The restoring force of the spring 131 returns the clutch to the ON position shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, and the actuating rod 125 is inserted into the large diameter portion 139a of the actuating rod inserting hole 139. Then, when the clutch operating plate 127 is returned by the operation of the solenoid 119 and the clutch is turned on, the reed switch 95 is turned on, and the solenoid 119 is stopped by the command of the control means which inputs the signal. There is.

Then, when the clutch operating plate 127 returns to the clutch ON position in this way, the clutch lever 41 moves in the direction of arrow B and returns to the clutch ON position, the clutch turns ON and the spool 11 moves. Is automatically wound.

In the fishing reel according to this embodiment, the battery 75 and the solenoid 119 are thus housed between the side plates 15 and 17 below the level winder mechanism 69, and the battery 75 allows the solenoid 119 and the yarn length to be adjusted. Electric devices such as measuring devices are activated.

Then, in order to carry out fishing with the fishing reel, as shown in FIG. 8, if the clutch lever 41 is manually operated in the direction of arrow A, the clutch operating plate 127 moves in the direction of arrow C. And the clutch is turned off.

Since the spool 11 is in a spool-free state when the clutch is turned off, the fishing line is fed from the spool 11 by the weight of a tackle or the like, and the rotation of the spool 11 is determined by the encoder 105 according to the feeding length of the fishing line. The converted yarn is input to the control means of the yarn length measuring device for calculation, and the fed-out yarn length based on the calculation result is displayed on the digital display unit 107.

Therefore, the fisherman may operate the solenoid drive switch ON at a predetermined water depth while watching the display. When the solenoid drive switch is thus turned on, the solenoid 119 is actuated by a command from the control means, the actuation rod 125 thereof projects in the direction of arrow H, and the actuation rod 125 causes the clutch actuation plate 127 to move. The locking piece 133 and the locking member 135 are unlocked by moving in the direction of arrow J.

Therefore, the clutch actuating plate 127 returns to the clutch ON position shown by the solid line in FIG. 8 by the restoring force of the tension spring 131, and the spool 11 enters the winding state. Wait for the fish to hit in this state. When the fish hits, the spool motor drive switch 109 is operated to rotate the spool drive motor 19 to rotate the spool 11 to wind the fishing line on the spool 11 and stop the winding. In that case, the operation of the spool motor drive switch 109 may be stopped.

If fishing is further continued, the clutch lever 41 may be manually operated again as shown in FIG. 8 to switch the clutch off, the fishing line may be fed out, and the same procedure may be repeated.

As described above, according to the present embodiment as well, the cylindrical power source storage case 115 is installed along the spool 11 between the side plates 15 and 17 below the level winder mechanism 69, and the power source storage case 115 is housed in the power source storage case 115. Since the solenoid 119 and four batteries 75 are housed as power sources for operating the solenoid 119 and the electric equipment such as the yarn length measuring device, the reel body 121 is miniaturized. As in the first embodiment, the reel as a whole does not become large, and as a result, the operability when the reel is attached to the fishing rod is improved as compared with the conventional example.

Even if the fishing reel is accidentally dropped, according to the present embodiment, there is no risk of impairing the power supply function. In each of the above-described embodiments, one cylindrical power source storage case 71, 115 is installed along the spool 11 between the side plates 15, 17 below the level winder mechanism 69, and inside the power source storage case 71, 115. The clutch drive motor 67, the actuator such as the solenoid 119, and the battery 75 are housed in the casing. As shown in FIG. 9, a cylindrical actuator storage case 141 and a power supply storage case 143 are integrally formed, and the level winder is formed. It may be installed along the spool 11 between the side plates 15 and 17 below the mechanism 69.

With such a structure, the intended purpose can be achieved as in the above-described embodiments. In addition, in regard to the line length measuring device for measuring the length of fishing line and the length of winding line, instead of the encoder 105, a rotating body (spool interlocking gear, fishing line winding surface pressure contact roller, etc.) that rotates as the fishing line is fed out. It goes without saying that the conventional yarn length measuring device for detecting the rotation of the spool can be used, and the automatic operation conditions such as shelving, shading conditions, and timer winding of the spool 11 are input to the microcomputer to automatically spool. It goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to a fishing reel equipped with an electric device that drives the drive motor 19 to switch the clutch mechanism to the winding state.
