Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dual-bearing reel, and more particularly to a dual-bearing reel in which a spool is disposed on a reel body having a pair of side plates disposed so as to face each other at a predetermined interval.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a dual bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool rotatably mounted on the reel body, and a handle for rotating the spool. The reel body has a pair of side plates arranged so as to face each other at a predetermined interval. A spool shaft passes through the spool, the spool is fixed to the spool shaft, and the spool shaft is rotatably supported by the reel body. Between the handle and the spool, a rotation transmission mechanism consisting of a main gear and a pinion gear for transmitting the torque from the handle to the spool, and a clutch mechanism for transmitting and breaking the torque between the pinion gear and the spool shaft. Are provided.

[0003] The main gear is provided on the rotating shaft of the handle. The pinion gear meshes with the main gear, and a spool shaft extending outward from the side plate passes through the center of the pinion gear. The pinion gear is disposed concentrically with the spool shaft, and is supported by the spool shaft so as to be axially movable and rotatable. A clutch mechanism is constituted by one end of the pinion gear and an engagement portion provided on the periphery of the spool shaft,
When the pinion gear moves in the axial direction of the spool shaft and engages with or disengages from the engaging portion, the rotational force is transmitted or cut off.

[0004] A casting control mechanism for suppressing backlash during free rotation of the spool is provided on the spool shaft. This casting control mechanism presses one end of the spool shaft to the other end,
The spool is braked by holding the spool shaft with the reel body. In the dual bearing reel having such a configuration, if the pinion gear tilts during free rotation of the spool with the clutch disengaged, rotational resistance is generated on the spool shaft, which may hinder free rotation of the spool.

A conventional technique for preventing the inhibition of free rotation is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-5246. In the dual-bearing reel disclosed in this publication, a spool is rotatably mounted on a spool shaft by a rolling bearing.
Further, both ends of the spool shaft are rotatably supported on the reel body by slide bearings. The pinion gear is fixed to a spool shaft, and the spool shaft rotates integrally with the pinion gear. The clutch mechanism has a cylindrical body that is not rotatable and slidable relative to the pinion gear, and an engaging claw that is disposed at an end of the spool and engages with the cylindrical body to move the cylindrical body in the axial direction. And the clutch mechanism is disengaged.

[0006] The casting control mechanism is
It has a contact member fixed to the inner peripheral surface on one end side of the spool, a flange formed on the spool shaft and in contact with the contact member, and a screw member for clamping the contact member with the flange. This screw member can be screwed to the reel body and can advance and retreat in the axial direction of the spool shaft. The spool shaft is movable in the axial direction with respect to the spool. In this casting control mechanism, the contact member is pressed against the flange by rotating the screw member to advance along the spool shaft, thereby braking the spool. Further, by loosening the screw member and retreating in the axial direction, the pressing of the contact body is released, and the spool is freely rotated.

[0007]

In the above-mentioned conventional configuration,
Since the spool is rotatable with respect to the spool shaft, even if the pinion gear breaks during free rotation, resistance that hinders free rotation of the spool hardly occurs. However, since the spool shaft is supported at both ends by the slide bearings, the rotation efficiency is likely to be reduced. When the rotation efficiency is reduced, the spool shaft is difficult to rotate smoothly and freely during casting, and the flight distance of the device may be reduced.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional construction, when an axial force acts on the spool by, for example, performing the casting by inclining the reel around the fishing rod axis so that the spool axis is along the vertical plane, the spool moves in the axial direction. I do. When the spool moves in the axial direction, the contact body fixed to the spool comes into contact with the flange or the screw member, or the pressure contact force of the contact body on the flange or the screw member fluctuates, and the braking force on the spool fluctuates easily. In particular, when the rotation efficiency of the spool shaft is reduced, the fluctuation of the braking force directly affects the rotation of the spool, and the spool is difficult to rotate.

An object of the present invention is to improve the rotational efficiency of the spool shaft of a dual-bearing reel and to suppress fluctuations in the braking force of the dual-bearing reel spool by a casting control mechanism.

[0010]

A dual-bearing reel according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a reel body, a spool, a spool shaft, a handle, a rotation transmitting mechanism, a clutch mechanism, and a braking mechanism. The reel body has a pair of side plates arranged so as to face each other at a predetermined interval. The spool is disposed between the side plates. The spool shaft rotatably supports the spool with a pair of bearings and cannot move relative to each other in the axial direction. The spool body is rotatably supported at both ends by a pair of rolling bearings. The handle is
It is rotatably supported by the reel body and rotates the spool. The rotation transmission mechanism transmits the rotation force from the handle to the spool. The clutch mechanism transmits and shuts off the rotational force in the rotation transmission mechanism. The braking mechanism can adjust the braking force of the spool by relatively moving the spool shaft in the axial direction.

In this dual-bearing reel, at the time of winding,
When the handle is rotated with the clutch mechanism in the transmission state, the rotation is transmitted to the spool and the spool rotates. At the time of casting, the clutch mechanism is disengaged to make the spool freely rotatable. When the fishing rod is thrown and thrown in this state, the fishing line is paid out by its own weight, and the spool rotates in the line payout direction. In these spool rotation states, since the spool is supported by the bearing and the spool shaft is supported by the rolling bearing, the rotation efficiency of the spool shaft is improved. Also, even if an axial force acts on the spool during casting or the like,
Since the spool is supported by the spool shaft so as to be relatively immovable in the axial direction, and the spool shaft is only moved by the moving mechanism, the spool does not move in the axial direction. For this reason, even if an axial force acts on the spool, the braking force does not easily fluctuate.

A dual-bearing reel according to a second aspect of the present invention is the dual-bearing reel according to the first aspect, wherein the braking mechanism comprises a braking member provided integrally with or separately from the spool so that the braking mechanism cannot rotate relative to the spool and cannot move in the axial direction. A cylindrical member fitted on the outer periphery of one end side of the spool shaft so as to be relatively movable with respect to the spool shaft, and one end provided so as to be able to contact the reel body and the other end provided so as to be able to contact and separate from the braking member, A moving mechanism for relatively moving the cylindrical member and the spool shaft in the axial direction; In this case, when the spool shaft is relatively moved in the direction approaching the cylindrical member by the moving mechanism, the spool also moves integrally, and the braking member comes into contact with the cylindrical member to brake the spool. On the other hand, when the spool shaft is moved away from the tubular member by the moving mechanism, the tubular member and the braking member are separated from each other, and the braking is released. Since the spool shaft, which cannot move relative to the spool in the axial direction, moves only by the moving mechanism, the spool does not easily move in the axial direction even when an axial force is applied. For this reason, the fluctuation of the braking force of the spool of the dual-bearing reel due to the braking mechanism during free rotation can be suppressed.

A dual bearing reel according to a third aspect of the present invention is the dual bearing reel according to the second aspect, wherein the pair of bearings are disposed between the outer ring, the inner ring disposed on the inner peripheral side of the outer ring, and the inner ring and the outer ring. A plurality of rolling elements, the braking member is provided on the inner peripheral side of the spool so as to abut on the outside of one of the outer rings of the pair of bearings, and the spool shaft is provided inside the inner ring of the one of the bearings. It has an annular projection that abuts. In this case, when the spool shaft moves in the direction approaching the cylindrical member, the braking member is sandwiched between the cylindrical member and the outer ring of the bearing locked by the annular projection, and the braking force increases.

A dual bearing reel according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the dual bearing reel according to the second or third aspect, wherein the moving mechanism comprises: a moving member for relatively moving the spool shaft in a direction approaching the cylindrical member;
An urging member for urging the spool shaft in a direction away from the tubular member. In this case, when the moving member moves the spool shaft in a direction approaching the tubular member, the spool also moves together, and the braking member comes into contact with the tubular member to apply braking. Further, when the movement by the moving member is released, the two members move in a direction in which the two move away from each other by the urging member, and the braking member separates from the tubular member to release the braking. Here, the spool member can be easily moved in both directions by the moving member. In addition, even if a force is applied to the spool in the direction in which the spool shaft approaches the cylindrical member, if the urging force of the urging member is made larger than the force, the spool moves in the direction to approach the cylindrical member. Never.

A dual bearing reel according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the reel of the fourth aspect, wherein the tubular member is a bottomed tubular member,
It is fitted between the inner peripheral surface of one of the rolling bearings and the outer periphery of one end of the spool shaft, and is arranged so as to form a space between the end surface of the spool shaft and the bottom surface. Also, the biasing member is
It is arranged in this space in a compressed state, in this case,
The spool shaft can be moved in both directions with a simple configuration.

A dual bearing reel according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the reel according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the rotation transmitting mechanism is disposed concentrically with the main gear provided on the rotating shaft of the handle and the spool shaft. A pinion gear that meshes with the main gear; and the clutch mechanism has an engagement / disengagement mechanism that engages / disengages the pinion gear with the spool. In this case, the configuration of the clutch mechanism is simplified.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided the dual-bearing reel according to the sixth aspect, wherein the pinion gear is rotatably supported on the reel body by a bearing and movably in the axial direction of the spool shaft. In this case, the rotation of the pinion gear becomes smooth, and the rotation efficiency of the spool shaft is further improved.

The gap C1 is, for example, about 0.2 mm, and the periphery of the flange portion 12a is covered by the spool storage space 14 with a small gap C1 from the outside in the radial direction so that the fishing line moves from the spool 12 to the spool shaft 16 side. Is less likely to enter, and the fishing line is less likely to be entangled with the spool shaft 16. Bearings 13a, 13b are provided inside the bobbin trunk 12b.
Are mounted at intervals in the axial direction. A plate-like engaging projection 12g extending toward the center is mounted on the distal end of the bearing mounting portion 12d on the handle 1 side. The spool 12 is rotatably supported on a spool shaft 16 by bearings 13a and 13b.

The bearings 13a and 13b are, for example, shield ball bearings made of stainless steel, and the inner and outer rings thereof are fixed to the spool 12 and the spool shaft 16 by a general interference fit recommended for the bearing. Bearings 13a, 13

These bearings are also sealed ball bearings. An annular projection 16a is formed on the inner side surface of the bearing 13a of the spool shaft 16 in contact with the inner ring, and a coil spring 56 is arranged between the annular projection 16a and the bearing 13b in a compressed state. The spool 12 is immovable in the axial direction with respect to the spool shaft 16 by the annular projection 16a and the coil spring 56.

As shown in FIG. 2, the level wind mechanism 15 has a guide cylinder 25 fixed between the pair of side plates 8 and 9.
, A worm shaft 26 rotatably supported in the guide cylinder 25, and a line guide 27. A gear 28 constituting the gear mechanism 18 is fixed to an end of the worm shaft 26. Worm shaft 26
Is formed with a spiral groove 26a.
Part of 7 is engaged with the spiral groove 26a. Therefore, the worm shaft 26 is rotated via the gear mechanism 18, so that the line guide 27 reciprocates along the guide cylinder 25. The fishing line is inserted into the line guide 27, and the fishing line is uniformly wound around the spool 12.

The gear mechanism 18 has a main gear 31 fixed to the handle shaft 30, a pinion gear 32 meshing with the main gear 31, and a gear 28 fixed to the end of the worm shaft 26 described above. Pinion gear 32

And a small diameter portion 32c formed between the tooth portion 32a and the meshing portion 32b. Also, the pinion gear 32
Is mounted on the spool shaft 12 so as to be movable in the axial direction. The pinion gear 32 is supported on the side plate 9 by a bearing 24b so as to be rotatable and movable in the axial direction. This bearing 24b is also a shielded ball bearing, and its inner ring is arranged with a gap C2 between it and the pinion gear 32, as shown in FIG. This gap C2 is, for example, 0.1 mm. An engagement groove 32d is formed at the tip of the engagement portion 32b along the diameter, and the spool 12
Can be engaged with or disengaged from the engaging projection 12g. With such a configuration, the meshing portion 3 of the pinion gear 32

Here, when the pinion gear 32 moves outward and the engagement groove 32d of the engagement portion 32b and the engagement protrusion 12g of the spool 12 are separated, the rotational force from the handle shaft 30 is not transmitted to the spool 12.

[0025] As shown in FIG.
A rear portion between the pair of side plates 8 and 9 is disposed behind the spool 12. Slots (not shown) in side plates 8 and 9 of frame 5
Are formed, and the rotating shaft 17a of the thumb rest 17 is rotatably supported by the elongated hole. For this reason, the thumb rest 17 can be slid up and down along the long hole. The front side of the thumb rest 17 is the rear connecting portion 1.
1, so that the rotatable angle is restricted.

The clutch engaging / disengaging mechanism 19 includes the clutch yoke 4
It has 0. The clutch yoke 40 includes the spool shaft 1
6 and supported by two pins 41 (only one is shown) so as to be movable in parallel with the axis of the spool shaft 16. The spool shaft 16 can rotate relative to the clutch yoke 40. That is,
Even when the spool shaft 16 rotates, the clutch yoke 40 does not rotate. Further, the clutch yoke 40 has an engaging portion at the center thereof for engaging with the small diameter portion 32c of the pinion gear 32. A spring 42 is disposed between the clutch yoke 40 and the second cover 7 on the outer periphery of each pin 41 supporting the clutch yoke 40, and the clutch yoke 40 is constantly urged inward by the spring 42. I have.

With such a configuration, in the normal state, the pinion gear 32 is located at the inner clutch engagement position.
The engagement groove 32d of the engagement portion 32b and the engagement protrusion 12g of the spool 12 are engaged, and the clutch is engaged. On the other hand, when the pinion gear 32 is moved outward by the clutch yoke 40, the engagement between the engagement groove 32d of the engagement portion 32 and the engagement protrusion 12g is released, and the clutch is disengaged.

The drag mechanism 21 has a friction plate 45 pressed by the main gear 31 and a pressing plate 46 for pressing the friction plate 45 against the main gear 31 with a predetermined force by rotating the star drag 3. ing. The casting control mechanism 22 is connected to the spool shaft 16.
Friction plates 51 arranged so as to sandwich both ends of
, A cap 52 for adjusting the holding force of the spool shaft 16 by the friction plate 51, and a bottomed cylindrical pressing cap 5 covered on the other end (left side in FIG. 2) of the spool shaft 16.
3 and a braking member 54 that can contact and separate from the pressing cap 53. A female screw is formed on the inner peripheral portion of the cap 52, and is screwed with a male screw formed on the boss portion 29 of the second cover 7.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pressing cap 53
The spool shaft 16 is provided so as to be relatively movable in the axial direction, and the bottom portion is in contact with the left friction plate 51. A bearing 35 that supports the spool shaft 16 is arranged on the outer periphery of the end of the pressing cap 53. A space 53a is formed inside the pressing cap 53 between the pressing cap 53 and the end surface of the spool shaft 16, and a pressing spring 55 is disposed in a compressed state in the space 53a. The pressing spring 55 urges the pressing cap 53 and the spool shaft 16 in a direction away from each other. The braking member 54 is a disk-shaped member, and is provided so as not to rotate relative to the spool 12 and to move in the axial direction. The braking member 54 is pressed by the pressing cap 53 to
And the spool 12 is braked.

This casting control mechanism 22
Then, when the cap 52 is screwed in, the spool shaft 16 moves in a direction approaching the pressing cap 53 (the left side in FIG. 2). At the same time, the spool 12 also moves in the same direction, and the pressing cap 53 contacts the braking member 54 and clamps the braking member 54 with the bearing 13a to apply braking to the spool 12. When the cap 52 is loosened, the spool shaft 16 is pressed by the pressing spring 55, and moves in a direction away from the pressing cap 53. When the braking member 54 is the pressing cap 5
When it is separated from 3, the braking on the spool 12 is released.

The centrifugal brake mechanism 23 includes a brake case 65 and a rotating part 66 provided in the brake case 65.
And a slider 67 which is arranged on the rotating portion 66 at a distance in the circumferential direction and is movably mounted in the radial direction. At the center of the brake case 65, a cylindrical bearing mounting portion 65a for mounting the bearing 35 is formed. Also,
The friction plate 51 of the casting control mechanism 22 is disposed at the center. Brake case 65
A liner 68 for braking is provided on the inner periphery of the peripheral portion of. The rotating portion 66 is fixed to the bearing mounting portion 12c of the spool 12, and rotates integrally with the spool 12. The slider 67 slides on the liner 68 in the brake case 65 by centrifugal force.

Next, the operation will be described. In a normal state, the clutch yoke 40 is pushed inward by the spring 42, whereby the pinion gear 32 is moved to the engagement position. In this state, the pinion gear 3
2 engagement portion 32b and engagement projection 12g of spool 12
Are engaged with each other and the clutch is engaged, and the rotational force from the handle 2 is applied to the handle shaft 30, the main gear 31
And transmitted to the spool 12 and the spool shaft 16 via the pinion gear 32. At this time, by adjusting the tightening amount of the cap 52 of the casting control mechanism 22, it is possible to adjust the resistance when the spool 12 rotates.

When the cap 52 is tightened and the spool shaft 16 is moved to the left in FIG. 3, the annular projection 16a comes into contact with the inner ring of the bearing 13a and is pressed by the pressing cap 53 so that the braking member 54 and the pressing cap 53 13a. As a result, the spool 12
Is braked. Conversely, when the cap 52 is loosened, the spool shaft 16 is biased by the pressing spring 55 and moves rightward in FIG. As a result, there is a gap between the pressing cap 53 and the braking member 54.

If a large load acts upon this winding, the gap C2 between the pinion gear gear 32 and the inner ring of the bearing 24b disappears, and the spool shaft 12 is moved to the pinion gear gear 3
2 is indirectly supported by the bearing 24b. Since this gap C2 is smaller than the gap C1 between the flange portion 12a and the spool storage space 14, even if a load is applied, the spool touch phenomenon does not occur, and there is no resistance that hinders rotation.
Also, if the cap 52 is loosened, there is a gap between the pressing cap 53 and the braking member 54, so that even if the spool 12 attempts to move in the axial direction, the casting control mechanism 2
2 is less likely to fluctuate.

During the drag operation, the fishing line is paid out from the spool 12, and a load acts on the spool 12.
Also in this case, the spool touch phenomenon does not occur as in the case where a load acts during winding. Also, the cap 52
Is loosened, there is a gap between the pressing cap 53 and the braking member 54, so that the casting control mechanism 22
Braking force is less likely to fluctuate.

As described above, since the pinion gear 32 is rotatably supported by the side plate 9, the spool shaft 16 is
, The deflection of the spool shaft 16 is not so large, and the spool touch phenomenon hardly occurs. Therefore, the rotation of the spool 12 becomes smooth even during a load operation such as a drag operation or a winding operation. When performing the casting, the braking force is adjusted by the cap 52 in order to suppress the backlash. Then, the thumb rest 17 is pushed downward. Here, the thumb rest 17 moves to the lower detached position along the long holes of the side plates 8 and 9. The movement of the thumb rest 17 causes the clutch yoke 40 to move outward, and the pinion gear 32 engaged with the clutch yoke 40 to move in the same direction. In this state, the engagement projection 32d of the pinion gear 32 is disengaged from the engagement projection 12g of the spool 12, and the clutch is disengaged. In this state, the rotation from the handle shaft 30 is not transmitted to the spool 12 and the spool shaft 16,
Is in a free rotation state. When the clutch is disengaged, the reel is tilted in the axial direction so that the spool shaft 16 is along the vertical plane while the spool is being summed with the thumb placed on the thumb rest, and the fishing rod is shaken. Rotate vigorously.

In such a state, a downward force acts on the spool 12. Even if such a downward force acts on the spool 12, the spool 12 cannot move in the axial direction with the spool shaft 16, and the spool shaft 16 is only moved by the cap 52 and the pressing spring 55. Therefore, the spool 12 does not move in the axial direction unless a force that overcomes the pressing spring 55 acts. For this reason,
The braking force is less likely to fluctuate during casting. Moreover, since both the spool shaft 16 and the spool 12 are supported by the rolling bearings 13a, 13b, 24a, 35,
Even if the spool 12 rotates at a high speed, the rotation efficiency is unlikely to decrease, and the lure jumps out. Then, just before the landing, the summing is stopped and the handle 2 is rotated. Thereby, the clutch mechanism is automatically engaged. Then, the lure is retrieved by manipulating the rods and reels and waiting for a hit.

[Other Embodiments] (a) Instead of moving the spool shaft 16, the pressing cap 53 may be moved. (B) The bearing that supports the spool 12 and the pinion gear 32 is not limited to a rolling bearing such as a ball bearing, but may be a sliding bearing such as a bush.

(C) In the above embodiment, the annular projection 16
a and the coil spring 56, the spool 12 is mounted on the spool shaft 16 so as to be immovable in the axial direction. However, a large diameter portion is formed between the bearings 13a and 13b of the spool shaft 16, so that the spool 12 is May not be able to move relative to. (D) The braking member 54 may be formed integrally with the spool 12.

[0040]

According to the present invention, the spool is rotatably supported by the bearing and the spool shaft is rotatably supported by the rolling bearing on the reel body, so that the rotational efficiency of the spool shaft is improved and the spool is rotated. Rotational efficiency also improves. In addition, even if an axial force acts on the spool during casting or the like, the spool is supported by the spool shaft so as not to be relatively movable in the axial direction, and the spool shaft is merely moved by the moving mechanism. Does not move in the axial direction. For this reason, even if an axial force acts on the spool, the braking force does not easily fluctuate.
