Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water depth display device, and more particularly, to a water depth display device for a fishing reel that displays the water depth at the tip of a fishing line drawn from a spool of a fishing reel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a fishing reel, the water depth of the tackle (the water depth at the tip of the fishing line) depends on the length of the fishing line fed out.
There is known a device provided with a water depth display device for switching and displaying from the top based on the reel and the bottom based on the water bottom (JP-A-5-111343). This water depth display device is provided with a measuring unit for obtaining the amount of yarn reeled out from the spool, a controller for outputting the yarn reeling-out amount based on the measurement result, and a display unit for displaying the outputted yarn reeling-out amount as the water depth. ing. The control unit determines the water depth (water depth from the top) of the tackle based on the reel based on the thread payout amount according to the thread payout amount, and raises the tackle based on the water bottom based on the thread payout amount and the water depth at the water bottom. Seeking the distance (depth from the bottom). Then, by switching between these two water depths by a predetermined switch operation and outputting, one of the water depths is displayed on the display unit.

By switching and displaying the two kinds of water depths in this way, even when a fish called "top fish" that inhabits a certain depth from the water surface is caught, a fish called "bottom fish" that lives near the sea floor is called. Even when fishing, you can display the optimum water depth according to the fish species.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional configuration,
By switching the water depth display from the top to the bottom, the optimum water depth display can be performed according to the fish species. However, in order to place a device on a shelf where fish flock inhabit, the position of the shelf is stored in the head, and the shelf position and the displayed water depth are stored while observing the water depth display at all times. The work of comparing For this reason, it is necessary to remember the shelf position while the device is lowered after raising the device from the surface of the water, or the device is pulled up from the seabed, and it is troublesome to arrange the device at the shelf position.

A shelf setting function is required in order to easily arrange the device at the shelf position. The shelf setting function, for example, if you operate the setting means such as the shelf setting key at the depth of the fish,
The function is to store the water depth at that time, display the stored shelf position, and output an alarm when the device reaches the set shelf position. However, conventionally, the shelf position set by pressing the shelf setting key or the like is the water depth with respect to the reel based on the amount of yarn reeled out from the water surface. For this reason, the shelf position set by the conventional shelf setting function has a constant distance from the water surface, and if the depth of the water bottom changes, the distance from the water bottom also changes. Cannot be placed in.

An object of the present invention is to enable the tip of a fishing line to be easily arranged at a shelf position in accordance with the reference when the water depth is switched and displayed by two types of reference from the top and the bottom. Especially.

Reference numeral 5 is for measuring the actual length of the fishing line delivered by constantly contacting a rotating roller with the fishing line wound around the spool 10 and rotating the magnet by the roller. It is installed only when it is newly wrapped around 10. By learning the relationship between the actual yarn length and the spool rotation speed by using this yarn length measuring device 15, the yarn length (thread feeding length) that changes depending on the winding diameter can be accurately measured by the spool rotation speed. The water depth of the device can be accurately displayed by this measurement result.

The dual-bearing reel has a control unit 20 shown in FIG. The control unit 20 includes a CPU, a RAM, and an R
It has a microcomputer including an OM, an I / O interface, etc., and executes various control operations described later according to a control program. The control unit 20 includes an operation key unit 6, a spool rotation sensor 21 including a pair of reed switches for detecting the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the spool 10, a relay switch 22, a spool counter 23, and a relay counter. 24 are connected. Also,
An alarm 25 that outputs various alarm sounds to the control unit 20.
A display unit 5, a storage unit 26, a motor drive unit 27,
The clutch drive unit 28 and other input / output units are connected.

The spool counter 23 is a counter for counting the number of times the spool rotation sensor 21 is turned on and off, and the rotation data N relating to the spool rotation number is obtained from this count value. The count value of the spool counter 23 increases when the spool 10 rotates forward (rotates in the yarn feeding direction),
It decreases when rotating in the reverse direction. The relay counter 24 is a counter that counts the number of times the relay switch 22 is turned on and off, and the count value provides data relating to the actual length of the fishing line. By storing the values of these two counters in association with each other, the feeding length of the fishing line (line length data LN) can be calculated from the count value of the spool counter 23, whereby the water depth of the tackle attached to the tip of the fishing line can be calculated. Is obtained.

The storage unit 26 is composed of a rewritable non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM, and its internal address has a temporary data storage area 30 as shown in FIG.
And a learning data storage area 31 for storing map data (LN = MAP (N)) showing the relationship between the yarn length data LN obtained by the relay counter 24 and the rotation data N obtained by the spool counter 23, and a setting. A water bottom data storage area 32 for storing the obtained water bottom water depth (thread length) S,
An upper shelf position data storage area 33 for storing the set upper shelf position TU, a lower shelf position storage area 34 for storing the set lower shelf position TS, and another data area for storing other data such as a ship's berth value. It is divided into Here, the map data MAP stored in the learning data storage area 31 is read by the rotation data N obtained from the count value of the spool counter 23, and the water depth based on the yarn length data LN is calculated by this.

Next, the control processing performed by the control unit 20 will be described with reference to the control flowcharts of FIG. When the dual-bearing reel is powered on, initialization is performed in step S1 of FIG. In this initial setting, the count values of the two counters 23 and 24 are reset to "0", and both the flag B indicating the S mode and the flag M indicating the MT mode are turned off (reset). It also sets other flags and variables to their initial values. As a result, the display mode is set to the U mode and the shelf setting mode is set to the AT mode.

In step S2, it is determined whether the flag B is on. That is, it is determined whether the display mode is the S mode. At first, since the display mode is the U mode, this judgment is “No”. When the display mode is the U mode, the process proceeds to step S3, and the map data MAP called from the learning data storage area 31 based on the water depth from above obtained in each mode processing, that is, the rotation data N.
The thread length data (water depth from above) LN calculated by the above, the set water bottom water depth S, and the set upper shelf position TU are displayed as the water depth display section 5a, the water bottom display section 5c, and the shelf position display section 5d.
Are displayed respectively. When the display mode is the S mode, the process proceeds from step S2 to step S4. In step S4, it is determined whether the water depth LN exceeds 10 m. When the water depth LN exceeds 10 m, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, it is determined whether or not the flag D for forcibly displaying the water depth display at the water depth LN from above is turned on. If the flag D is not turned on, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, the water depth (S-LN) from the bottom obtained by subtracting the water depth LN from the water bottom water depth S, the set water bottom water depth S, and the set bottom shelf position TS are the water depth display portion 5a, the water bottom display portion 5c, and Shelf position display section 5d
Are displayed respectively. On the other hand, in step S4, the water depth is 10
If m or less, the process proceeds to step S7. Step S
At 7, it is determined whether the flag D is on. If the flag D is not turned on, the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, the flag D is turned on. Step S
When the flag D is turned on in step 5 or when the process in step S8 ends, the process proceeds to step S9. Step S
In 9, the water depth LN is displayed on the water depth display portion 5a regardless of the S mode, and the water bottom display portion 5c and the shelf position display portion 5d are displayed.
The water bottom depth S and the bottom shelf position TS are displayed on the screen. As a result, the water depth LN from the top is displayed even in the bottom mode until the flag D is turned off in the subsequent processing.

In step S10, it is determined whether a key input has been made by any of the operation key units 6. In step S11, it is determined whether the water depth LN exceeds 6 m. When the water depth LN is 6 m or less, the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, it is determined whether or not the vehicle has stopped at a water depth of 6 m or less for 5 seconds or more. If it is stopped for more than 5 seconds, it is considered that the ship is stopped at the berth, so the process proceeds to step S13, and the water depth LN at that time is set to the berth value (the value for automatically stopping hoisting of the fishing line) FB set. If it is less than 5 seconds, skip this process.

When the water depth LN exceeds 6 m, the process proceeds from step S11 to step S14. Step S14
Then, it is judged whether or not it has stopped for 5 seconds or more at a water depth exceeding 6 m. When the water is stopped for more than 5 seconds at a water depth of more than 6 m, it can be determined that the tackle is arranged at the shelf position, so the process proceeds to step S15, and it is determined whether or not the AT mode is set. In the AT mode, that is, when the flag M is off, the process proceeds to step S16, and the water depth LN at that time is set to the upper shelf position TU. The set upper rack position TU is stored in the upper rack position storage area 33. In step S17, the water depth from the bottom obtained by subtracting the water depth LN from the water bottom water depth S is set in the bottom shelf position TS. The set bottom shelf position TS is stored in the bottom shelf position storage area 34. When the stop time is less than 5 seconds or the shelf setting mode is MT
In the mode, these automatic shelf setting processes are not performed.

In step S19, it is determined whether the spool 10 is rotating. This determination is made based on the presence or absence of the output of the spool rotation sensor 21. Step S20
Then, it is determined whether or not another command is issued, and the process returns to step S2. If it is determined that a key input has been made, the process proceeds from step S10 to step S21, and the key input process shown in FIG. 6 is performed. If it is determined that the spool 10 is rotating, the process proceeds from step S19 to step S22. In step S22, it is determined whether the relay switch 22 is turned on. The relay switch 22 is turned on only when the yarn length measuring instrument 15 is mounted on the mounting surface 15a. A new fishing line is attached to the spool 1 by installing the line length measuring device 15.
This is only when performing a learning process of wrapping around 0 and storing a new relationship between the spool rotation speed and the yarn length. Therefore,
When the relay switch 22 is on, step S
24, and the learning mode process is executed. In this learning mode process, the relay counter 24 for each predetermined rotation of the spool
Of the learning data storage area 31.
To memorize. When the relay switch 22 is not turned on, the process proceeds to step S23, and each mode process is executed.
If another command is issued, the process proceeds from step S20 to step S25, and another process corresponding to the command is executed.

In the key input processing of step S21, the process shown in FIG.
In step S31, it is determined whether the motor on / off button PB has been pressed. In step S32, it is determined whether or not the shelf memo button TB has been pressed. In step S33, it is determined whether or not the bottom memo button SB has been pressed. In step S34, the jig button IB and the speed adjustment key S
It is determined whether or not another button (key) such as K has been pressed.

When the motor on / off button PB is pressed, the process proceeds from step S31 to step S35.
In step S35, it is determined based on the state of the motor drive unit 27 whether or not the motor 12 is already rotating. When the motor 12 is not rotating, the process proceeds to step S36, where the motor driving unit 27 starts the rotation of the motor 12, and the motor 12 is accelerated from a low speed to a predetermined speed while the button PB is being pressed. If the motor 12 is already rotating, steps S35 to S3
7, the rotation of the motor 12 is stopped.

When the shelf memo button TB is pressed, step S
32 to step S38, the flag M is turned on,
Set the shelf setting mode to MT mode. The flag M will not be turned off unless the power is turned off once.
That is, once the MT mode is set, it is not possible to return to the AT mode unless the power is turned off. However, the shelf setting mode may be freely switched by any key. In step S39, as in step S16, the upper shelf position TU
Is set. In step S40, the bottom shelf position TS is set similarly to step S17. The data of the upper shelf position data storage area 33 and the lower shelf position data storage area 34 are updated by these set shelf positions TU and TS. It should be noted that if the shelf memo button TB is continuously pressed for 3 seconds or more, a zero set process for calibrating the zero point of the water depth is performed, but a description of this zero set process will be omitted.

When the bottom memo button SB is pressed, step S
The process moves from 33 to step S42. In step S42, it is determined whether or not the bottom memo button SB is continuously pressed for 3 seconds or more. If you press this button SB for 3 seconds or more,
You can switch the display mode. If it has not been pressed for 3 seconds or more, the process proceeds to step S43, and the water depth LN at that time is set to the water bottom water depth S. As a result, the water bottom water depth S is displayed on the water bottom display portion 5c in step S3, S6 or S9. In step S44, the flag D is turned off. Therefore, in the S mode, the water depth from the bottom is displayed on the water depth display portion 5a until the water depth LN is wound up to less than 10 m.

When the bottom memo button SB is pressed for 3 seconds or more, the process proceeds from step S42 to step S45. In step S45, it is determined whether the flag B is on, that is, whether the display mode is the S mode. When the display mode is the U mode, the process proceeds to step S46, the flag B is turned on and the display mode is switched to the S mode.
When the display mode is the S mode, the process proceeds from step S45 to step S47, the flag B is turned off, and the display mode is switched to the U mode.

If another key is pressed, step S3
Then, the process proceeds from step 4 to step S48, and another process corresponding to the pressed key is performed. For example, when the speed adjustment key SK, the jig button IB, the shelf memo button TB, and the bottom memo button SB are simultaneously pressed for 3 seconds or more, the corresponding processing is performed. In each mode process of step S23, it is determined in step S51 of FIG. 7 whether the rotation of the spool 10 is in the yarn feeding direction. This determination is made based on which reed switch of the spool rotation sensor 21 is turned on first. If it is determined that the rotation of the spool 10 is in the line feeding direction, the process proceeds to step S52. In step S52, the rotation data N is increased. In step S53, the water depth LN is calculated from the increased rotation data N by the map data MAP. As a result, the display of the water depth display unit 5a is updated in step S3, S6 or S9. In step S54, it is determined whether the calculated water depth LN matches the upper shelf position TU. In step S55, it is determined whether or not another mode.

When the calculated water depth LN matches the upper shelf position TU, the process proceeds from step S54 to step S56.
In step S56, it is determined whether the flag B is on. When the flag B is not turned on, that is, in the U mode, the process proceeds to step S57, and the alarm 25
Outputs a shelf alarm (pipi). In the S mode, step S57 is skipped.

In the other mode, the process proceeds from step S55 to step S58 to execute the set other mode process. When it is determined that the rotation direction of the spool 10 is the winding direction, the process proceeds from step S51 to step S61. In step S61, the rotation data N is decreased. In step S62, the water depth LN is obtained from the reduced rotation data N by the map data MAP. As a result, the display of the water depth display unit 5a is updated in step S3, S6 or S9.

In step S63, it is determined whether or not the water depth from the bottom (S-LN) obtained by subtracting the water depth LN calculated from the water bottom water depth S matches the bottom shelf position TS. Step S
At 64, it is determined whether the calculated water depth LN matches the upper shelf position TU. In step S65, it is determined whether or not the water depth LN coincides with a position 4 m lower than the ship berth value FB. At step S66, the water depth LN is 2 from the ship berth value FB.
m It is determined whether or not the position matches the lower position. Step S6
At 7, it is determined whether or not the water depth LN coincides with the vessel edge value FB.

When the water depth from the bottom matches the bottom shelf position TU, the process proceeds from step S63 to step S68. In step S68, it is determined whether the flag B is turned on. When the flag B is on, that is, when the mode is the S mode, the process proceeds to step S69, and the alarm 25 outputs a shelf alarm (pipi). In the U mode, step S69 is skipped.

When the water depth LN matches the upper shelf position TU, the process proceeds from step S64 to step S70. Step S
At 70, as in step S56, it is determined whether the flag B is on. When the flag B is not turned on, that is, in the U mode, the process proceeds to step S71 and the alarm 25 outputs a shelf alarm (pipi). In the S mode, step S71 is skipped.

When the water depth matches the respective values in steps S65 and S66, steps S72 and S73.
And the alarm 25 outputs a ship berth alarm (pip). When the water depth LN matches the ship edge value FB, the process proceeds from step S67 to step S74. In step S74, the alarm 25 is changed to a ship-side alarm (pip beep).
Is output, and the motor drive unit 27 drives the motor 1
Stop the rotation of 2. Then, the process proceeds to step S54. Next, specific display contents of the display unit 5 in the MT mode and the AT mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.
In addition, in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, “from above” of the mode display portion 5b.
Is indicated by "U", and "from the bottom" is indicated by "S". Further, the notification of the alarm 25 is represented by "AR".

In the MT mode, as shown in FIG. 8, the clutch operating lever 11 is operated to turn off the clutch, and the fishing line is fed out by the weight of the weight provided in the tackle. Is displayed, and the water depth L from above is displayed on the water depth display portion 5a in accordance with the extension of the fishing line.
N is displayed. And after the device reaches the bottom of the water,
When the bottom memo button SB is pressed after rewinding the fishing line to remove the slack (line dandruff) of the fishing line, the water depth LN of, for example, 80 m at that time is set to the water bottom water depth S (step S43). As a result, the water bottom water depth S of 80 m is displayed on the water bottom display portion 5c. The upper and lower displays show the U mode and the S mode, respectively. In any state, if the bottom memo button SB is pressed for 3 seconds or more, the display mode can be switched to the S mode (step S42). Further, the water depth LN from above is displayed on the water depth display portion 5a even in the S mode until the water depth exceeds 10 m, or even if the water depth S is once set, even if the water depth exceeds 10 m (step S).
9). Therefore, the water depth L from the top is displayed on the water depth display portion 5a even in the S mode until the water bottom water depth S is set at 80 m.
N = “80” is displayed.

When the fishing line is wound up by 2 m from this state and the shelf memo button TB is pressed, the MT mode is actually set here (step S38). Then, in the U mode, the water depth LN of, for example, 78 m at that time is set in the upper shelf position TU (step S39) and is displayed on the shelf position display portion 5d (step S3). Further, in the S mode, when the water depth LN exceeds 10 m, the water depth 2 m from the bottom obtained by subtracting the water depth LN of 78 m from the water bottom depth S of 80 m at that time is set to the bottom shelf position TS (step S40). It is displayed on the shelf position display portion 5d (step S6). Then, when the fishing line is reeled out again and the water depth S set at the beginning is exceeded, in the S mode, the water depth display changes to minus. Then the water depth is 75m
When it is wound up, the shelf alarm sounds at a water depth of 78 m on the way (step S69 or S71). The shelf position is not set in this MT mode even when stopped at a water depth of 75 m for 5 seconds or more. After that, when the fishing line is fed up to 79 m, the shelf alarm sounds again during the process (step S57), and when the fishing line is wound up to the berth, the shelf alarm sounds at 78 m in the process. Also, from 4m before the berth value, a berth alarm is activated every 2m (step S7).
2, S73), when the water depth LN matches the ship berth value FB, a ship berth alarm sounds and the motor 12 stops rotating (step S74). Further, when the water depth becomes 10 m or less, the flag D is turned on (step S8) until the water bottom water depth S is set again (step S8).
The display of a is switched to the water depth LN from the top (step S
9).

After the motor 12 is rotated again to wind up the fishing line, the fishing line is reeled out to 79 m, and the bottom memo button SB is pressed to display the water bottom display section 5c from "80" to "79" regardless of the display mode. Will be updated. Also, S
In the mode, the display on the water depth display section 5a is updated from "79" to "0" (step S43). When the fishing line is wound up to 74 m from this state, a shelf alarm sounds at a water depth of 78 m in the middle in the U mode (step S71), and a water depth of 77 m (2
A shelf alarm sounds at a water depth of m) (step S69).

With the conventional shelf setting function, it is not possible to set the shelf at a distance from the bottom of the water. Therefore, when the water depth is changed, an alarm does not sound at this depth in S mode, but a shelf alarm sounds at the same depth as in U mode. It will be. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the water bottom depth is changed, the bottom shelf position can be set at a fixed distance from the water bottom according to the change, but conventionally, the bottom shelf position changes. Therefore, although it is difficult for the conventional shelf setting function to deal with fish that live at a certain distance from the bottom of the water, the present embodiment can sufficiently deal with such fish. Then, the shelf position is not reset even when stopped at a water depth of 74 m for 5 seconds or more, and when the shelf memo button TB is pressed at the time of winding up to 72 m, the upper shelf position TU and the bottom shelf position TS are reset (step S39). And S40).

On the other hand, in the AT mode, as shown in FIG. 9, when it is wound up to 78 m or 75 m and stopped for 5 seconds or more, two shelf positions TS and T
U is automatically set (steps S16 and S1)
7). This is the same when the film is wound up to 74 m later. Moreover, since the upper shelf position TU is updated to 75 m and the bottom shelf position TS is updated to 5 m when it is wound up to 75 m, the depth at which a shelf alarm is output is also different from the MT mode, and at the beginning it sounds at a depth of 78 m. When the shelf position is set at 75 m, the shelf position is set to 79 m, and is wound up to the berth again, the shelf alarm sounds at 75 m regardless of the display mode because the water bottom depth S is not updated. Then, when the water bottom depth is updated to 79 m, a shelf alarm sounds at a water depth of 75 m in the U mode (step S71), and a shelf alarm occurs at a water depth of 74 m (water bottom water depth 79 m-bottom shelf position 5 m) in the S mode. Sounds (step S69). Other operations are the same as in the MT mode. However, if the shelf memo button TB is pressed even once in this state, the shelf setting mode is switched to the MT mode, and this state continues unless the power is turned off.

Here, since the display mode can be arbitrarily switched during fishing and the shelf position can be set according to the two display modes, the tip of the fishing line can be easily arranged at the shelf position according to the mode. . Further, even in the S mode, if the water depth is 10 m or less, or if the water depth is 10 m or more, the water depth from the top is displayed until the water bottom water depth S is set, so the water depth display is easy to see.

Further, since the winding speed of the motor 12 can be increased from low speed to high speed by continuing to press the on / off button PB, the winding start speed can be kept low, and thread breakage, fish mouth cut, body cutout, etc. are unlikely to occur. Become. [Other Embodiments] (a) In the electric reel, the yarn feeding operation or the yarn winding operation may be stopped when the tackle is arranged at the shelf position during each mode processing. FIG. 10 shows the contents of each mode process at that time. Here, FIG.
In steps S81 to S83, S91, and S92 of FIG.
The water depth LN is obtained in the same manner as steps S51 to S53, S71, and S72. In case of thread feeding, step S
At 84, it is determined whether the water depth LN matches the upper shelf position TU. If they match, the process proceeds to step S86 and a shelf alarm is sounded. Then, in step S87, it is determined whether or not the MT mode is set. In the MT mode, the processing is ended simply by sounding a shelf alarm, and in the AT mode, the clutch is turned on in step S88 and the yarn feeding operation is stopped.

When the yarn is wound up, step S
At 93, it is determined whether or not the water depth from the bottom (S-LN) matches the bottom shelf position TS. If they match, the process proceeds to step S97 and a shelf alarm is sounded. Then, in step S98, M
It is determined whether the mode is T mode. In the MT mode, the processing is ended simply by sounding a shelf alarm, and in the AT mode, the motor 12 is turned off in step S99 and the yarn winding operation is stopped.

The other processing procedure is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. In addition, here, when paying out, it is judged only by the upper shelf position, and when winding, it is judged only by the bottom shelf position that the water depths match.
The water depth may be determined by the two rack positions regardless of winding. (B) The present invention can be applied to a hand-wound reel instead of the electric reel.
