Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention enables automatic switching between manual and electric modes.
Moreover, the present invention relates to a fishing reel that can be used both manually and electrically, in which the rotational torque of the spool can be controlled during electric winding, and a depth storage device can be installed without providing an additional mechanism.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Conventional manual/electric fishing reels can be switched to manual by operating a separate clutch lever etc. if the motor breaks down or an excessive load is placed on the motor, such as when catching a large fish. Since the reel was designed to be able to switch and wind the line, the switching structure was complicated and the reel operation became complicated.

In order to deal with this, the applicant has provided a ratchet mechanism (b) and (c) to the outer end of a drive shaft (a) that rotates in conjunction with a drive shaft equipped with a roller clutch, as shown in FIG. ) to the manual handle.
We have devised a manual/electric reel that is configured to prevent the handle and drive shaft from rotating together and to automatically switch to manual mode by rotating the handle at a higher speed than the drive shaft. (Jitsugan Sho 61-61633
(See No., etc.)

However, with the above configuration, when the line is wound up by electric power, the drag that controls the rotational torque of the spool rotates together with the drive shaft, so the drag cannot be operated, resulting in so-called "interaction" with the fish during fishing. However, there were still problems that needed to be resolved.

On the other hand, the spool stop mechanism in the depth storage device that is generally equipped on this type of electric reel is, for example, a ratchet gear fixed to one side of the spool, a solenoid operated by a signal from a microcomputer, and a plurality of cams. The structure was complicated, as it required the addition of a separate mechanism, such as one in which a ratchet pawl that rotated through a spool was engaged to stop the free rotation of the spool. In addition to requiring a high degree of assembly precision, there were also problems in that the entire reel became large and heavy.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the present invention supports a manual shaft having a flange at the inner end and a handle and a drag at the outer end in an outer case, and connects a multi-disc clutch and an electric gear to the manual shaft through a co-rotation prevention mechanism such as a bearing. A rotational torque control mechanism for the spool consisting of a master gear and a master gear is inserted, and the multi-plate clutch can be pressed at any time by a drag that contacts the inner ring of the bearing, and the manual shaft is connected via a one-way mechanism. While the electric gear can be engaged only in the direction of rotation, the electric gear of the control mechanism is an electric mechanism with a roller clutch, and the master gear is a shaft of an auto-return clutch mechanism that can be freely engaged with the spool. The problems mentioned above can be solved by connecting them to each other and equipping them with a depth storage device that counts and stores the number of rotations of the spool using a sensor and a microcomputer, and calculates the coefficient value so that the motor can rotate by a certain amount. This solves all the points at once.

[For production]

The fishing reel of the present invention can automatically switch between manual and electric mode, the drag does not rotate together with the electric gear during electric reeling, and when the line is reeled out, the reel is output from the microcomputer. The control signal causes the clutch shaft to engage the spool shaft and stop the free rotation of the spool.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is an outer case of the reel, 2 is a motor of an electric mechanism attached to one side of the core outer case, and 3 is the motor. A plurality of reduction gears mesh with the rotating shaft 2' of the drive shaft, or 4 is a drive shaft, an intermediate gear 6 is attached to one end of the drive shaft via a roller clutch 5, and the gear 6 and the last reduction gear 3 are connected to each other. By meshing, the drive shaft 4 can be rotated in one direction at a constant speed.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a multi-disc clutch consisting of a plurality of linings, which is interposed between an electric gear 9 and a master gear 10, which are inserted into the above-mentioned manual shaft through a co-rotation prevention mechanism such as bearings 8, 8, and a spring. 11' and sleeve 11
The pressure contact force is adjusted by means of a drag 11 that can be tightened through ", and the rotational torque of the spool 12 can be controlled.

Note that 13 indicates an intermediate gear that connects the electric gear 9 and the drive shaft 4.

The manual shaft 14, which has a handle 19 at its outer end, can be freely protruded in the radial direction of a flange 15 provided at its inner end via a spring 16, as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Through a one-way mechanism consisting of stoppers 17, 17 and a receiving groove 18 cut into the inner periphery of the electric gear 9, it is possible to rotate only in the direction of rotation of the electric gear. .

Also, 20.20゛ indicates the reversal prevention part of the second ratchet.

In the fishing reel of the present invention, which is constructed using soft soil, when the handle 19 is not used, the electric gear 9 is moved by the motor 2 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 2 (the winding direction of the line).
Even when the handle 19 and the drag 11 are rotated, the stopper 17 does not shorten at any time and engage the receiving groove 18, so that the handle 19 and the drag 11 can be reliably prevented from rotating together. On the other hand, by rotating the handle 19 in the direction of the arrow at a higher speed than the electric gear 9, the stopper 17
The electric gear 9, i.e., the spool I2, is engaged with the spool I8.
can be rotated manually.

Furthermore, in FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 21 indicates a clutch shaft that engages with the master gear 10 via a pinion 22, and this is elastically slid in the axial direction by operating a clutch lever 23 to move the spool 12. The clutch shaft 21 is set in a free state and the thread can be paid out as appropriate, while the clutch shaft 21 is momentarily moved to the spool shaft 12' by the return bin 24a, yoke cam 24b, crank 24c, and spectacle cam 24d, which operate in conjunction with the rotation of the electric gear 9. This is a so-called auto-return type clutch mechanism that automatically returns to the occlusal state.

In the figure, numeral 25 represents a level winder, and numeral 26 represents a microcomputer containing a depth storage device, etc., which will be described later.

Next, we will discuss how to use and operate the upper fishing reel. When the motor 2 starts, the spool 12 rotates at a constant speed via the electric mechanism, drive shaft 4, master gear 10, clutch mechanism, etc. Winding up the line is still almost the same as with a normal electric reel of this type.

However, for example, if the electric mechanism stops due to a failure, or if an excessive load is applied to the reel and the rotation of the spool 12 decelerates as when catching a large fish, the rotation of the spool 12 may be slowed down by rotating the handle 19 at a higher speed. The rotational force is transmitted to the electric gear 9 and the drive shaft 4 via the stone bar 17, but due to the action of the roller clutch 5 interposed at one end of the shaft, the rotational force is transmitted to the reduction gear side. There is no manual operation, and the shaft rotates at the same time as the spool, which is interlocked with the electric gear 9, rotates.

However, since the overload on the guide thread is removed and the rotation of the intermediate gear by the motor exceeds that of the handle,
The winding of the thread is automatically switched to electric power again.

Furthermore, when the fishing reel of the present invention is powered, the electric gear 9 and the master gear 10 are connected to the outer ring 8'' of the bearing.
Since the inner rings 8" and 8" of each bearing and the manual shaft 14 that engages them do not rotate, the drag 11 attached to the manual shaft also remains stationary and the drag is rotated from time to time. By operating the above master gear 1
By adjusting the pressing force of the inner ring 8' of the bearing 8 with respect to 0, the rotational torque of the spool 12 can be freely adjusted.

Next, we will discuss the spool stopping mechanism in the depth storage device of the fishing reel. As shown in FIG. A counting unit that counts the amount via the sensor 27 as appropriate, a storage unit that stores the counted value, and compares and calculates the counted value at the time of re-feeding the thread with the above-mentioned stored value, and outputs a predetermined motor drive signal. The drive motor 2 is composed of a central processing section that rotates the drive motor 2 by a certain amount in accordance with the signal, and a motor control section that rotates the drive motor 2 by a certain amount in accordance with the signal. Further, 28 indicates a control panel equipped with operation buttons 28°, etc., and 29 indicates a power source such as a storage battery.

Therefore, when fishing, one waits for the fish to appear while fishing near the fish shelf, but when a fish appears and the fishing line is to be reeled in, the operator presses the operation button 28' to start counting, and then the motor is turned on. 2, and the number of rotations of the spool (winding length of the thread) at the end of winding is stored in the storage unit.

Next, when setting the fishing line to the depth of the fish rack where the above-mentioned fish signal occurred again, use the lever 23 to free the spool 12 and let out the fishing line, count the number of revolutions at that time, and set it to the previously memorized value. When the central processing unit outputs a predetermined motor control signal, the electric gear 9 is rotated by a certain amount via the motor 2, and the return bin 24a of the gear is rotated by the yoke cam 24.
By pushing b to release the spectacle cam 24d of the clutch shaft 21, the clutch shaft 21 elastically and automatically returns to engage the spool shaft 12', stopping the rotation of the spool and moving the thread to the desired direction. It is set to depth.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the manual/electric fishing reel of the present invention, the spool 12 can be rotated by a mechanism that rotates manually or electrically, whichever is faster, by the action of the roller clutch, and the switching is automatic. In addition, since the handle, manual shaft 14, and drag 11 do not rotate together with the electric gear 9 etc. due to the bearing 8, the spool 12 can be rotated by the drag at any time even during electric winding. By controlling the rotational torque, it is possible to "interact" with fish.

In addition, the fishing reel of the present invention is not only capable of accurately reeling out the line to a desired depth when fishing in deep seas, but also has a spool stop mechanism that automatically returns the line immediately when it reaches the memorized depth. Since the clutch mechanism is activated to stop the free rotation of the spool, there is no need to provide an additional mechanism that combines parts such as solenoids and cams as in the past, and the structure is extremely simple. This allows the entire reel to be made smaller and lighter, which provides excellent effects that could not be expected from conventional dual-purpose reels of this type.
