Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel and, more particularly, to an improvement of an electric fishing reel for improving the operability of feeding a fishing line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of electric fishing reel is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-110275.
A spool drive motor (hereinafter referred to as a spool motor) and a gear reduction mechanism for transmitting the rotation to the spool are incorporated in a spool rotatably supported by the reel unit.

When the clutch is turned on and the spool motor is driven, the rotation is transmitted to the spool through the gear reduction mechanism so that the spool rotates in the fishing line winding direction and the fishing line is wound on the spool. It has become.

When the tackle is lowered to the shelf position, if the clutch is turned off and the spool is in the spool free state, the spool rotates in the fishing line feeding direction due to the weight of the tackle and the fishing line is sequentially fed. Become.

However, in such an electric fishing reel, when the spool is rotated by the feeding of the fishing line, the gear train of the gear reduction mechanism meshing with the spool is also rotated. Friction resistance or the like acts on the spool as a braking force, and this has been a factor that slows the descending speed of the tackle (feeding speed of the fishing line).

[0006] Therefore, the present applicant previously filed Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-37.
In No. 924, when the fishing line is paid out, the spool motor is driven in the fishing line payout direction to rotate the gear train of the gear reduction mechanism in the fishing line payout direction, thereby eliminating the braking force in the fishing line payout rotation direction that acts on the spool. We proposed an electric reel for fishing that can speed up the falling speed of the device and improve the fishing results.

[0007]

As a trend of electric fishing reels of recent years, when the fishing line is fed to a predetermined shelf position stored in advance, the clutch is automatically operated by the operation of the actuator. A device having a shelf stop mechanism for performing a shelf stop from a spool free state to a take-up state, that is, automatically switching a clutch from OFF to ON is widely used.

However, although the electric reel for fishing of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-37924 described above can improve the falling speed of the tackle at the time of feeding the fishing line, the digital display section displays the preset shelf position. When the fisherman confirms this, the clutch lever is switched to the clutch ON position to stop the rotation of the spool motor in the feeding direction, or the spool motor is stopped by operating the auto switch or the manual switch. Manual operation is required, and there is a problem to be solved that a series of continuous fishing operations cannot be performed by automatically stopping the shelf at a predetermined shelf position.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and aims to speed up the falling speed of the tackle when feeding the fishing line, and automatically stop the rack at a predetermined rack position. An object of the present invention is to provide an electric reel for fishing, which improves the operability of feeding a fishing line.

[0010]

In order to achieve such an object, the invention according to claim 1 relates to a spool motor for driving a spool rotatably supported by a reel unit, a spool free state and a winding state. A fishing line equipped with a clutch mechanism for switching to a state and a control means for controlling rotation of a spool motor in a fishing line payout direction based on a clutch OFF signal from a detection means for detecting a spool free state. Of a predetermined length in which the fishing line is stored in the storage means, the storage means for storing the predetermined length of the thread, the storage means for storing the predetermined thread length, and the operation means controlled by the ON operation of the shelf stop ON / OFF switch. And a shelf stop means for stopping the shelf by switching the clutch mechanism from the spool-free state to the winding state when the yarn length is reached. When the fishing line At a time of the operating state of the shelf stop means has reached a predetermined feeding amount, the rotation of the fishing line unwinding direction by a command of the control means, characterized in that it is stopped.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the spool motor for driving the spool rotatably supported by the reel unit, the clutch mechanism for switching the spool between the spool free state and the winding state, and the spool free state are detected. Based on the clutch OFF signal from the detecting means
In an electric fishing reel equipped with a control means for controlling rotation of a spool motor in a fishing line payout direction, a fishing line reel measuring means for measuring a fishing line payout length and a storage means for storing a predetermined fishing line length. The spool motor stops rotating in the fishing line feeding direction in response to a command from the control means when the fishing line reaches a predetermined feeding amount, and the control means inputs the clutch ON signal from the detecting means in this state. At this time, the clutch mechanism is switched from the spool free state to the winding state, and when the clutch OFF signal is input, the spool motor is re-driven in the fishing line payout direction.

[0012]

According to the electric reel for fishing according to the first aspect of the present invention, the spool motor rotates in the fishing line payout direction as the fishing line is paid out.

Then, when the fishing line reaches a predetermined feeding amount stored in the storage means, the rack stopping means stops the feeding of the fishing line, and the spool motor causes the fishing line to move when the fishing line is stopped. When the predetermined feeding amount is reached, the rotation in the fishing line feeding direction is stopped by the command of the control means.

According to the electric reel for fishing according to the second aspect of the invention, the spool motor rotates in the fishing line payout direction as the fishing line is paid out. Then, when the fishing line reaches a predetermined feeding amount, the spool motor temporarily stops its rotation in the fishing line feeding direction in response to a command from the control means, but if the rotation is stopped but the clutch is OFF. For example, the spool motor will rotate again in the fishing line feeding direction.

[0015]

7 and the solenoid 67 in the solenoid drive circuit 79.
Are connected to each other.

Next, the operation of the electric fishing reel according to the first embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIG. When fishing a fish inhabiting a water depth of 100 m or more, a power cord 131 is connected to the electric fishing reel according to the present embodiment mounted on a fishing rod through a connector 129, and the power cord 131 is used as a crocodile clip or the like. It connects to a direct current such as a battery placed on board.

When the power supply is connected to the electric reel in this way, the control circuit 77 is initialized (step S).
1). Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the clutch lever 39 at the clutch ON position is operated in the arrow direction. At this time, the shelf stop ON / OFF switch 111 is kept in the OFF state.

Then, the pinion gear 61 moves rightward on the pinion shaft 63 as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 1, so that the clutch plate 65 separates and the clutch is turned off, so that the spool 7 is in the spool free state. Then, after the tackle is fed out by a predetermined amount (for example, 2 to 3 m), the reset switch 107 is pushed to set the display on the digital display unit 105 to "0 m" (step S
2).

On the other hand, the control circuit 77 proceeds to step S3 to fetch the state of the reed switch 45 into the CPU 113 via the input interface 119. Then, in the next step S4, it is determined whether the reed switch 45 has been turned on, that is, whether the clutch lever 39 has been operated to the clutch off position. Here, if "NO", the process returns to step S3, and if "YES", the process proceeds to step S5.

Then, the fishing tackle 9 is fed out by feeding a predetermined amount of tackle.
When the fishing rod is hung from the fishing rod, the fishing line 9 is sequentially fed out from the spool 7 due to the weight of the tackle. However, when the spool 7 rotates as the tackle is lowered, the rotation of the spool 7 is caused by the encoder 9
Is converted into a pulse according to the feeding length of the fishing line 9 by the CPU 9 and the CPU 113 via the input interface 119.
And the pay-out yarn length is calculated (step S
6).

In the next step S7, the fishing line 9 has a predetermined amount,
For example, it is determined whether or not it has been extended by 6 m. here,
If "NO", the process returns to step S6, and if "YES", the process proceeds to step S8, and the CPU 113 outputs a rotation command in the fishing line payout direction to the motor drive circuit 127 via the output interface 121 to perform spooling. The motor 17 is rotated in the fishing line feeding direction.

The spool motor 17 has a torque that cancels the braking force acting on the spool 7 due to the frictional resistance of the bearing 15 and the gear reduction mechanism 19 when the spool 7 is freely rotated in the fishing line feeding direction due to the weight of the tackle. To rotate. Therefore, the device does not receive any resistance,
In addition, it will descend in water at an optimum speed that does not cause backlash.

When the spool 7 rotates due to the lowering of the device, the rotation of the spool 7 is similarly converted by the encoder 99 into a pulse corresponding to the feeding length of the fishing line 9,
It is taken into the CPU 113 through the input interface 119, and is counted up in step S9 to be calculated as the pay-out yarn length. Then, the calculation result is output to the display unit drive circuit 125 via the output interface 121 for each 1 m unit, and the digital display unit 10 is operated.
It is displayed in 5.

Then, when the fishing line 9 is sequentially fed out as the tackle is lowered, the line length corresponding to the amount of feeding is displayed on the digital display section 105. The device is lowered to the water depth, that is, the shelf position. Then, when the display content of the digital display unit 105 becomes, for example, "123 m", the clutch lever 39 is operated to the clutch ON position as shown in FIG. 5 (step S10).

Then, the clutch is turned on and the spool 7 is turned on.
Since the drag force of the drag device 31 acts on, the feeding rotation of the spool 7 is stopped and the feeding of the fishing line 9 is stopped.
At the same time, since the reed switch 45 is turned off, the control circuit 77, which has detected this, issues a motor stop command to the motor drive circuit 127 to stop the rotation of the spool motor 17 in the yarn feeding direction (step). S11).

In this state, wait for the fish to hit. And
When a fish hits, the shelf switch 109 is pushed and the signal is input to the CP via the input interface 119.
The calculation data of “123” is stored in the RAM 117 as a shelf position and stored in the RAM 117 (step S12). As a result, the digital display unit 105
"Shelf 123" is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. And
At the same time, the auto switch 73 or the manual switch 75 is pushed (step S13).

When the auto switch 73 is operated, the auto switch 73 is interlocked to the ON state, and this ON signal is taken into the control circuit 77. And ON
The control circuit 77 which has received the signal outputs an operation command to the motor drive circuit 127 to continuously rotate the spool motor 17 in the fishing line winding direction and wind the fishing line 9 on the spool 7 (step S14). When winding the fishing line 9, the winding line length is sequentially subtracted from the line length lowered to the shelf position, and the calculation result is displayed on the digital display unit 105. Then, when wound up to a predetermined position, the control circuit 77 outputs a stop command to the motor drive circuit 127, and the spool motor 17 stops (step S15).

When the fishing line 9 is wound up, the auto switch 7
When 3 is pushed again, the spool motor 17 is stopped by a command from the control circuit 77. Further, when the manual switch 75 is pushed and the pressing force is maintained, the spool motor 17 moves in the winding direction. Rotate,
When the pressing force is released from the manual switch 75, the spool motor 17 immediately stops.

Next, a procedure for turning on the shelf stop ON / OFF switch 111 in this state to reload the fishing line 9 will be described with reference to a flowchart. After the fishing line 9 is wound up in steps S14 and S15 and the spool motor 17 is stopped, first, the shelf stop ON / OFF switch 111 is turned on (step S16), and then the clutch lever 39 at the clutch ON position is moved. Again, as shown in FIG. 2, operate to the clutch OFF position (step S1.
7) Put the spool 7 in the spool free state. Then, in the control circuit 77, step S3 and step S4
Similarly to the above, it is determined whether or not the clutch lever 39 is in the OFF position (steps S18 and S19 in FIG. 6).

If "YES" is determined in step S19, then, similarly to step S5 and step S6, the control circuit 77 calculates the feed amount of the fishing line 9 (steps S20 and S21).

The calculation result in step S21 is
It is output to the display unit drive circuit 125 via the output interface 121 for each 1 m unit and displayed on the digital display unit 105.

When the fishing line 9 is sequentially fed out as the tackle is lowered, the next step S22 is step S22.
Similar to 7, it is determined whether or not the fishing line 9 has been fed "6 m". Here, if "NO", the process returns to step S21,
If "YES", the process proceeds to step S23, and similarly to step S8, the CPU 113 outputs a rotation command in the fishing line payout direction to the motor drive circuit 127 via the output interface 121 to cause the spool motor 17 to move in the fishing line payout direction. Rotate. Then, the payout line length of the fishing line 9 is calculated by the control circuit 77 (step S24), and the calculation result is displayed on the digital display unit 105.

As the spool motor 17 operates and the fishing line 9 is paid out, it is determined in step S25 whether or not the fishing line 9 has reached a predetermined feeding amount (before the shelf position, for example, 2 m), and "NO". , The process returns to step S24,
If "YES", the process proceeds to step S26, the control circuit 77 outputs a stop command to the motor drive circuit 127, and the spool motor 17 stops (step S26).

Therefore, thereafter, the fishing line 9 is fed at a normal feeding speed depending on the weight of the tackle. Incidentally, if the rotation of the spool motor 17 is stopped in advance before the shelf position as described above, there is an advantage that the impact when the feeding of the fishing line 9 at the shelf position is stopped can be reduced.

Further, the pay-out line length of the fishing line 9 is calculated by the control circuit 77 (step S27), and the fishing line 9 is RA.
In step S28, it is determined whether or not the rack position "123m" stored in M117 has been extended. When it is determined in step S28 that the fishing line 9 has been fed to the shelf position, the control circuit 77 issues an operation command to the solenoid drive circuit 79 to operate the solenoid 67 (step S).
29).

When the solenoid 67 operates in this way, the operating rod 81 projects and pushes out the operating piece 85 of the operating body 83 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the engagement between the tongue piece 87 of the actuating body 83 and the projection piece 59 of the clutch actuating plate 47 is released, and the clutch actuating plate 47 is returned toward the clutch lever 39 by the restoring force of the tension spring 55 and interlocked with this. Then, the clutch lever 39 rotates in the arrow direction with the eccentric pin 41 as a fulcrum, and is returned to the clutch ON position (step S30).

Then, the pinion gear 61 and the gear carrier 21 are coupled to each other, and the drag force of the drag device 31 acts on the spool 7, so that the spool 7 is in a winding state and the feeding rotation of the spool 7 is stopped and the fishing line 9 The feeding is also stopped (step S31).

In this state, wait for the fish to hit. And
If hit by a fish, as in step S13
The auto switch 73 or the manual switch 75 is pushed (step S32).

When the auto switch 73 is operated, the auto switch 73 is interlocked to the ON state, and when this ON signal is taken into the control circuit 77, the control circuit 77 outputs an operation command to the motor drive circuit 127. Then, the spool motor 17 is continuously rotated in the fishing line winding direction to wind the fishing line 9 on the spool 7 (step S3).
3). Even when the fishing line 9 is wound up, the winding line length is sequentially subtracted from the feeding amount up to the shelf position, and the calculation result is displayed on the digital display unit 105. Then, when wound up to a predetermined position, the control circuit 77 causes the motor drive circuit 127
A stop command is output to stop the spool motor 17 (step S34).

Even in this case, if the auto switch 73 is pushed again when the fishing line 9 is wound, the spool motor 17 is stopped by the command of the control circuit 77 and the manual switch 75 is pushed. If this state is maintained, the spool motor 17 rotates in the winding direction, and if the pressing force is released from the manual switch 75, the spool motor 17 immediately stops.

If fishing is continued, the clutch lever 39 is turned off and the process returns to step S17. On the other hand, after the end of step S15, the shelf stop O
When the N / OFF switch 111 is turned off and the fishing line 9 is thrown in again without operating the shelf stop mechanism at the set shelf position “123 m”, the procedure shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8 is performed.

That is, after the steps S1 to S15 are performed as shown in FIG. 7, the shelf stop ON / OFF switch 111 is kept in the OFF state (step S35).
The clutch lever 39 in the clutch ON position is operated again to the clutch OFF position as shown in FIG. 2 (step S3).
6). On the other hand, the control circuit 77 determines whether or not the clutch lever 39 is in the OFF position, as in steps S3 and S4 (steps S37 and S38).

In step S38, the clutch lever 39 is set to O.
When it is determined that the fishing line 9 is in the FF position, the feeding amount of the fishing line 9 fed by the tackle weight is calculated by the control circuit 77 (steps S39 and S40) as in steps S5 and S6. The display unit drive circuit 125 via the output interface 121 for each 1 m unit.
And is displayed on the digital display unit 105.

When the fishing line 9 is sequentially fed out as the tackle is lowered, in the next step S41, step S
Similar to 7, it is determined whether or not the fishing line 9 has been fed "6 m". Here, if "NO", the process returns to step S40,
If "YES", the process proceeds to step S42, and the CPU
113 outputs a rotation command in the line feeding direction to the motor drive circuit 127 via the output interface 121 to rotate the spool motor 17 in the fishing line feeding direction. Then, the pay-out line length of the fishing line 9 is calculated by the control circuit 77 (step S43), and the calculation result is the digital display section 105.
Is displayed in.

The shelf stop ON / OFF switch 11
Since 1 is in the OFF state, the above-mentioned shelf stop ON / OF
The shelf stop mechanism by turning on the F switch 111 does not function. Therefore, steps S25 to S28 are not performed, the spool motor 17 does not stop 2 m before the shelf position, and the automatic shelf stop does not occur at the shelf position.

Therefore, as in step S10, looking at the display contents of the digital display unit 105, the fishing line 9 is "123 m".
After confirming that the fish has been extended to, the angler operates the clutch lever 39 to the clutch ON position (step S
44). Then, the clutch is turned on, and the drag force of the drag device 31 acts on the spool 7, so that the delivery rotation of the spool 7 is stopped and the delivery of the fishing line 9 is stopped. or,
At the same time, since the reed switch is turned off, the control circuit 77 which has detected this issues a motor stop command to the motor drive circuit 127 to stop the rotation of the spool motor 17 in the fishing line feeding direction (step S45).

In this state, wait for the fish to hit. And
If there is a hit with a fish, as in steps S13 to S15, the automatic switch 73 or the manual switch 75 is pushed to operate the spool motor 17
The fishing line 9 may be wound around the spool 7 by rotating the
After that, if the shelf stop ON / OFF switch 111 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S16 in FIG.
If the / OFF switch 111 is turned off, the process returns to step S36 in FIG.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the tackle is lowered, the control circuit 77 is operated by the ON signal of the reed switch 45 by the operation of the clutch lever 39 to the OFF position to move the spool motor 17 in the fishing line feeding direction. Since the braking force due to the frictional resistance of the bearing 15 and the gear reduction mechanism 19 that acted when the fishing line 9 was fed by rotating at a predetermined speed was eliminated, like the electric fishing reel disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-37924. Although the fishing rate can be improved by speeding up the falling speed of the tackle, as described above, this embodiment further inputs the shelf position in the first fishing, and the shelf stop is turned ON again when the fishing line 9 is fed again. If the / OFF switch 111 is turned ON, when the fishing line 9 is extended to the shelf position, the solenoid 67 operates according to the command from the control circuit 77 to turn the clutch ON.
It is set to N so that the feeding of the fishing line 9 is stopped.

Therefore, the shelf stop ON / OFF switch 11
If 1 is turned on, the angler will check this when the shelf position is displayed on the digital display, like the electric reel for fishing in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-37924, and the clutch lever will turn on the clutch. Manual operation such as switching to stop the rotation of the spool motor in the feeding direction or stopping the spool motor by operating the auto switch or manual switch becomes unnecessary, and the shelf is automatically stopped at the stored predetermined shelf position. By doing so, it became possible to perform a series of continuous fishing operations.

FIGS. 9 to 11 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the second embodiment of the present invention. Like the first embodiment, the power cord 131 is connected to the electric reel via the connector 129, and the power cord is connected. The control circuit 77 is initialized by connecting 131 to a direct current of a battery or the like arranged on the ship by a crocodile clip or the like (step S1).

In the present embodiment, when initially selecting the shelf position, the shelf stop ON / OFF switch 111 is turned ON,
The shelf stop mechanism by the solenoid 67 does not operate until the shelf position is set regardless of the OFF state.

As shown in FIG. 9, the shelf position is set through steps S1 to S15 as in the first embodiment. Then, the clutch lever 39 in the clutch ON position is operated again to the clutch OFF position as shown in FIG. 2 (step S46), and the procedure similar to steps S18 to S28 is performed, whereby the fishing line 9 is fed to the shelf position. (Steps S47 to S5)
7).

When it is determined in step S57 that the device has reached the rack position, the rack is stopped in step S58.
Whether or not the N / OFF switch 111 is ON is cut off. Then, when "YES", the procedure similar to steps S29 to S34 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 is performed (steps S59 to S64).

On the other hand, in step S58, the shelf stop is turned ON / OF.
When it is determined that the F switch 111 is in the OFF state,
The process proceeds to step S65 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, and the fishing line 9 continues to be fed at the normal feeding speed due to the weight of the tackle.

The feeding amount of the fishing line 9 is further increased by the control circuit 7.
7 (step S66), it is determined in step S67 whether or not the fishing line 9 is further fed from the shelf position by a fixed amount (for example, 2 m), and if "NO", step S66.
Returning to 66, when "YES", the process proceeds to step S68, and the spool motor 17 again rotates in the fishing line payout direction according to the command of the control circuit 77, and the bearing 15 and the gear reduction mechanism 19 that act when the fishing line 9 is paid out. The braking force at the time of rotation in the fishing line feeding direction due to frictional resistance is eliminated to speed up the falling speed of the tackle. Then, in the following, step S
Fishing is performed through the same procedure as steps 43 to S45 (steps S69 to S7).
1).

Thus, according to this embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, like the electric fishing reel of Japanese Patent Application No. 1-37924, the angler is displayed when the shelf position is displayed on the digital display. Check this and turn the clutch lever on.
To stop the rotation of the spool motor in the feeding direction, or to stop the spool motor by operating the auto switch or manual switch, so that the shelf is automatically stopped at the stored predetermined shelf position. By performing the above, it is possible to perform a series of continuous fishing operations.

In each of the above embodiments, the clutch lever 39 is operated to the clutch ON position to stop the rotation of the spool motor 17 in the yarn feeding direction in step S10, but the manual handle 23 is rotated in the winding direction. It can also be achieved.

In this case, when the manual handle 23 is rotated in the winding direction, the ratchet wheel 27 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 and the pin 27a pushes the operating arm 89 of the operating body 83, whereby the operating body 83 moves. , The clutch is switched from OFF to ON in the same manner as in FIG. 5, so the clutch lever 3
9 returns to the clutch ON position, and at the same time, the reed switch 45 is turned OFF. Therefore, the control circuit 77 that detects this outputs a motor stop command to the motor drive circuit 127, and the spool motor 17 moves in the fishing line feeding direction. Will stop rotating.

Further, although the case where the fishing line 9 is wound by the automatic switch 73 or the manual switch 75 has been described, the manual handle 23 may be used. Further, the means for detecting the clutch OFF position of the clutch lever 39 is not limited to the structure of the above embodiment, and it is needless to say that a micro switch or the like may be used. It can also be applied to electric fishing reels that do not use handles.

[0073]

As described above, according to the electric reel for fishing according to each of the claims, when the tackle is lowered, the line feeding rotational direction due to the frictional resistance of the bearing or the gear reduction mechanism that acts when the fishing line is fed out. Since the braking force to the rack has been eliminated, the falling speed of the device can be speeded up and the shelf stop can be turned ON /
If the OFF switch is turned ON, the shelf is automatically stopped at the stored predetermined shelf position, and a series of continuous fishing operations can be performed.
