Description

Double Bearing Reel {DUAL-BEARING REEL}

The present invention relates to a fishing reel, in particular a bearing reel, which can be attached to a fishing rod and in which the fishing line is discharged forward.

Both bearing reels rotate a spool with a handle to wind a fishing line. In both of these bearing reels, it is conventionally known to provide a depth display device capable of electrically displaying the depth of the gear on the reel unit opposite to the handle mounting side (see Patent Document 1, for example). . The reel main body of the conventional both bearing reels are arranged at intervals, and the first and second side covers covering the outer sides of the first and second side plates and the first and second side plates connected to each other. Have The rotating shaft of the handle is supported by the second side cover.

In the said conventional bearing reel, the 1st side cover on the opposite side to a handle mounting side has a bulging part which expands laterally, and the water depth display part is accommodated in a bulge part. . In the depth display portion, a numerical value representing the depth of water by one digit is displayed in the front-rear direction.

In addition, in both bearing reels having a bulge in which the water depth display portion is accommodated, a spool sounding mechanism (an example of an operating mechanism) that is pronounced as the spool rotates is provided. The spool sounding mechanism is made into a soundable state (an example of an operable state) to be pronounced at the time of spool rotation by a sounding on-off knob (an example of an operation member) and a sounding improper state (an example of an inoperable state) which is not pronounced. You can switch. The operation member is exposed from the first side cover above the water depth display surface of the bulge portion. By operating this operating member, the spool sounding mechanism is completely switched between the soundable state and the soundless state. The operation member is attached to the first side plate so as to be movable between the pronunciation possible position and the non-problem position, for example, in the direction along the depth display surface or in the direction to be folded. The operation member is distributed by the spring member to the soundable position side and the sound impossible position side, and is pressed, and the soundable state and the soundless state are difficult to change even when the reel moves.

In the conventional two-bearing reel having such a configuration, when the spool rotates, the display of the depth display portion changes, and when the spool sounding mechanism is switched to a soundable state, the spool is pronounced in conjunction with the rotation of the spool. . In addition, when the spool sounding mechanism is incapable of sounding due to the operation of the operating member, sound is not pronounced. Usually, when releasing a fishing line or winding up, for example, the spool sounding switching mechanism is made into a state in which sound cannot be pronounced, thereby reducing the resistance to the spool. In addition, when the fishing rod is erected after discharging the fishing line, the spool sounding mechanism is made soundable so that the rotation of the spool when the fish is caught can be notified.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-42033

In the conventional structure, the operation member is disposed above the water depth display portion housed in the bulge portion. For this reason, when moving an operation member, the operation member pressed by the spring member must be pushed out or pulled by the thumb, the index finger, etc. of the hand opposite to the hand which operates a handle, and the switching operation of an operation mechanism is cumbersome It becomes work.

An object of the present invention is to enable a switch operation of an operating mechanism to be easily performed in both bearing reels having a water depth display portion and an operating mechanism.

Both bearing reels according to the first invention are reels which can be attached to a fishing rod, and which a fishing line is discharged forward, a handle for fishing line winding operation, a reel main body, a spool, a depth indicator, an operation mechanism, and an operation member. Equipped with. The reel unit has first and second side plates disposed to face each other at intervals, and a swelling portion that partially expands laterally, and a first side cover that covers the outer side of the first side plate. And a second side cover that covers the outer side of the second side plate and is supported by a rotating shaft of the handle, and can be attached to a fishing rod. The spool is for winding use that is rotatably attached to the reel unit. The water depth display part is accommodated in the bulge part and can electrically display the water depth of the gear which is attached to the tip of a fishing line in conjunction with rotation of a spool. The operating mechanism is a mechanism that can be operated in conjunction with the rotation of the spool and that can be switched between an operable state and an inoperable state. The operation member is disposed on the rod mounting side rather than the bulge portion, is attached to the first side cover so as to be movable in the direction of folding with the bulge portion, and is a member for switching the operation mechanism into an operable state and an inoperable state.

In both bearing reels, the depth indicator is disposed in the bulge of the first side cover on the side opposite to the handle mounting side, and an operation member for switching the operating mechanism state is disposed on the rod mounting side rather than the bulge. For this reason, when operating the operation member, place the thumb of the hand on the side opposite to the hand operating the handle (for example, the left hand when operating the handle with the right hand) on the bulge on the side opposite to the rod mounting side of the bulge. The operation member can be operated toward the bulge portion so as to sandwich the bulge portion with another finger (for example, a middle finger or a ring finger). For this reason, the operation member can be operated by a relatively force-prone operation such as bending a finger. Here, since the operation member is arranged on the rod mounting side of the bulge portion, the operation member can be operated in a state where the force is easily applied using the bulge portion. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform the switching operation of the operating mechanism.

In both of the reel bearings according to the second aspect of the invention, in the reel according to the first aspect of the invention, when the operation member is operated in a direction approaching the bulge portion, the operating mechanism is in an operable state. In this case, it becomes easy to perform the switching operation which makes an operating mechanism into an operable state from an inoperable state.

The bearing reel according to the third aspect of the invention is the reel according to the first aspect or the second aspect, in which the operation member is in contact with the bulging portion at an operable position that becomes an operable state and an inoperable position that becomes inoperable. It is disposed so as to be movable, and the press mechanism which distributes | presses and distributes an operation member to an operable position and an inoperable position is further provided. In this case, since the operation member is distributed to the two positions by the pressing mechanism and is pressed, the operation member that has been switched and operated is securely held at the two positions, and the operation member is incorrectly caused by an external force other than operation force such as vibration. There is no moving.

In the reel according to the third aspect of the invention, in the reel according to the third aspect of the invention, the bearing force of the pressing mechanism is smaller than the pressing force in the non-operable position. In this case, since the pressing force at the inoperable position is large, the operation from the inoperable position to the operable position is heavier than the operation from the inoperable position to the inoperable position. For this reason, a click feeling suitable for the operation to an operable state can be given. In particular, when it becomes an operable state by the operation | movement of the direction which approaches a bulge part, the operation | movement state which is an operation | movement which is operation away from a bulge part can be operated easily, even if the operation which becomes close to a bulge part which is easy to apply force is heavy. Since the operation of switching from the non-operation state to light becomes light, this operation becomes easy.

In the reel according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, both bearing reels according to the fifth aspect of the present invention have a soundable state as an operable state which is pronounced when the spool rotates, and an inoperable state where the spool rotates. It has a spool sounding mechanism which can be switched to a non-sounding state as a. In this case, the on-off switching operation of the spool sounding mechanism that can be pronounced in conjunction with the rotation of the spool becomes easy.

In the reel according to the invention 1 or 2, the bearing reel according to the sixth aspect of the invention is the lock state as an operable state in which the rotation of the fishing line release direction of the spool is locked, and the inoperability that does not lock. It has a spool lock mechanism which can be switched to the unlock state as a state. In this case, the on-off switching operation of the spool lock mechanism which locks the rotation of the spool in the fishing line discharge direction becomes easy.

In the reel according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the bearing reel according to the seventh aspect includes a first operation member for operating the spool sounding mechanism and a second operation member for operating the spool lock mechanism. In this case, any switching operation of the spool sounding mechanism and the spool lock mechanism is facilitated.

In the reel according to the seventh aspect, the two bearing reels according to the eighth aspect of the invention are arranged in parallel with each other so that the first operating member and the second operating member move in the direction in which the bulging portion is folded. In this case, since the two operation members are arranged in parallel, the on-off switching operation can be performed by the same movement of the finger.

The bearing reel according to the ninth aspect is the apparatus according to the seventh aspect, wherein the first side cover has a circular shape, and the first operation member is disposed to move in a direction substantially along the diameter of the first side cover. In this case, the first operating member for operating the spool sounding mechanism having a higher frequency of operation than the spool lock mechanism is arranged along the diameter of the first side cover to facilitate the force. For this reason, it becomes easy to perform the on-off switching operation of the spool sounding mechanism with a high frequency further.

The bearing reel according to the tenth aspect of the invention further includes identification means for identifying that the operating mechanism is in an operable state in the reel according to the invention 1 or 2. In this case, since the identification means, such as making it possible to identify by visual observation when it is in an operable state, is provided, the operation state can be easily identified even by a person who is not good at reel operation. .

According to this invention, since the operation member was arrange | positioned at the rod mounting side of a bulging part, an operation member can be operated in the state which is easy to apply a force using a bulge part. For this reason, a switching operation can be performed easily.

The spool phonetic device 14 can be pronounced according to the rotation of the spool 12 and can be switched to the phonable state and the non-phonetic state by the operation of the sounding knob 16. [

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the pronunciation knob 16 includes a large diameter knob 16a exposed from the first side cover 6 and a shaft 16b integrally formed with the knob 16a. Have. The handle portion 16a moves along the opening 6b formed in the first side cover 6. [ As described above, the opening 6b is formed so as to substantially follow the diameter of the first side cover 6. Thus, the sounding knob 16 is arranged to move obliquely in the direction along the substantially diameter of the first side cover 6, and is operable from the outside of the first side cover 6 to two positions.

On the outer circumferential side of the shaft portion 16b on the back of the handle portion 16a, a sheet member 27 as an identification means is provided with an opening 6b of the first side cover 6 and a first mechanism mounting plate 36. It is attached to the boundary part of). The sheet member 27 is an elliptical member made of a transparent resin, and is an on-display portion 27a in which half shown by cross hatching on the back surface is painted in red. The entire back surface painted in red is further painted white. When the entire back surface is painted white, the outer surface of the first mechanism mounting plate 36 is not reflected, and red can be made to stand out. In addition, by coating only the rear surface of the sheet member 27, the surface and the rear surface can be easily distinguished, and erroneous mounting during assembly can be prevented. Such a sheet member 27 can be opened (provided between the interposer and the members) to reduce the sliding resistance (sliding, sliding, and moving) with the grip portion 16a. In addition, when the handle part 16a is arrange | positioned in a pronunciation possible position, since the ON display part 27a coated in red of the sheet | seat member 27 is largely exposed to the outside, it can recognize at a glance that it is in a pronunciation possible state.

The shaft portion 16b is guided to an elliptical guide hole 36a formed obliquely forward and downward along the radial direction in the first instrument mounting plate 36. The shaft portion 16b is a non-problem position (an example of an inoperable position) transferred from the bulge portion 6a shown in Figs. 9 and 12A and a bulge portion shown in Figs. 10 and 12B. It is movable between the pronunciation possible positions (an example of an operable position) which approached 6a). The shaft portion 16b is pushed by the urging mechanism 26 in the direction in which the swingable portion 6a is folded to the inaudible position and the swingable position.

As shown in FIG. 12, the press mechanism 26 is accommodated in the accommodating recessed part 36b which communicated with the guide hole 36a in the 1st mechanism mounting plate 36, and was formed obliquely to the front. It is. The pressing mechanism 26 presses the distributing member 82 and the distributing member 82 mounted to the storage recess 36b so as to be able to move forward and backward in the direction of folding the shaft 16b toward the shaft 16b. It has the coiled spring 83 to make it.

The distribution member 82 is a plate-like member and has two different pressing surfaces 82a and 82b at the tip thereof. The pressing surface 82a is a surface curved along the outer shape of the shaft portion 16b, and is a surface for pressing and holding the shaft portion 16b to a non-pronunciable position. The pressing surface 82b is a surface smaller in inclined state than the linearly inclined pressing surface 82a, and is a surface for pressing and holding the shaft portion 16b to a soundable position. For this reason, the pressing force by the pressing surface 82b is smaller than the pressing force 10 by the pressing surface 82a.

The distribution member 82 has a pair of locking projections 82c protruding to both sides along the way, and a spring guide 82d projecting rearward to the base end surface. The latching protrusion 82c is engaged with the latching portion 36c formed on both sides of the accommodating concave portion 36b so as to be restricted from moving in the advancing direction. The spring guide 82d prevents the coil spring 83 from falling off. The coil spring 83 is attached to the accommodating concave portion 36b on the outer peripheral side of the spring guide 82d in a compressed state.

In this pressing mechanism 26, since the pressing force at the non-sounding position shown in Fig. 12 (A) is larger than the pressing force at the position at which the sound can be seen shown in Fig. 12 (B) The operation from the position to the sounding possible position becomes heavier than the operation from the sounding possible position to the non-sounding position. For this reason, a click feeling suitable for operation in the pronunciation possible state can be given. In particular, since it becomes a soundable state by the operation | movement of the direction approaching the bulging part 6a, it is easy to operate even if it makes heavy the operation which approaches the bulging part 6a which is easy to give a force, and a bulging part Since the switching operation from the pronunciation enabled state, which is the operation away from (6a), to the pronunciation disabled state becomes lighter, this operation also becomes easier.

Moreover, the pronunciation knob 16 for performing the on-off switching operation of the spool sounding mechanism 14 which has a high frequency of operation compared with the spool lock mechanism 15 is easy to apply the force along the diameter of the 1st side cover 6. Since it is arrange | positioned, the on-off operation of the spool sounding mechanism 14 with a high frequency becomes easy to perform further.

5 and 8 to 10, the spool sounding mechanism 14 is rotatably mounted on the spool shaft 20, and has a sounding portion 70 having an uneven portion 70a on its outer circumference. ) And a striking portion 71 in contact with the sounding portion 70.

The sound generating portion 70 is mounted on the spool shaft 20 at the spool 12 side in a non-rotatable manner. The sounding unit 70 is a disk-shaped metal member formed by arranging a plurality of gear tooth-shaped uneven portions 70a at intervals in the circumferential direction on an outer circumferential surface thereof.

The striking portion 71 is pivotally mounted to the distal end portion of the shaft portion 16b of the pronunciation knob 16, and the tooth detent member 74 and the tooth detent member 74 whose tip is in contact with the uneven portion 70a. ) Has a spring member 75 for urging toward the neutral position in contact with the uneven portion 70a.

The toothed detent member 74 is a metal member, and is formed at the front end thereof so as to be swingably attached to the tip of the shaft 16b and the sharpened contact portion 74a which is tapered in the forward direction to contact the uneven part 70a. And a spring hook portion 74c extending from the mounting portion 74b in a direction different from that of the contact portion 74a. The toothed piece 74 is moved from the sounding position where the contact portion 74a contacts the concave-convex portion 70a shown by the solid line in Fig. 10 to the discrete position, And moves by the moving operation of the sounding knob 16.

The spring member 75 is a coil spring whose one end is latched by the 1st mechanism mounting plate 36, and the other end is latched by the spring hook part 74c.

In the spool phonetic device 14 having the above-described structure, the thumb of the left hand (the hand opposite to the hand for operating the handle 2) is placed on the swollen portion 6a, 16 is operated in a direction approaching the bulging portion 6a, as shown in Fig. 10, the sounding knob 16 is disposed at the position where it can be pronounced. When the sounding knob 16 is disposed at the sounding position, the contact portion 74a of the toothed detent member 74 comes into contact with the sounding portion 70. Here, since the pronunciation knob 16 is arrange | positioned at the fishing rod mounting side of the bulging part 6a, the pronunciation knob 16 can be operated by the operation which bends the finger which is easy to apply force using the bulging part 6a. . Thus, the sounding on / off switching operation can be easily performed.

When the spool 12 rotates in this state, the toothed detent member 74, which is urged by the coil spring 75 toward the neutral position, vibrates and voices. When the pronunciation knob 16 is arranged in the pronunciation possible position, as described above, it is possible to reliably identify that the on display portion 27a of the sheet member 27 is largely exposed and is in a pronunciation possible state.

9, the toothed detent member 74 is disposed at the other position, and the spool 12 rotates, as shown in Fig. 9, Do not pronounce. Therefore, the rotational resistance of the spool 12 is reduced. In this operation to a non-pronunciable position, since the pressing force in the pronunciation possible position by the press mechanism 26 is weak, it can operate with weak force. For this reason, even the operation by the operation | movement which pushes a finger of the direction which is hard to put in force can be switched easily.

<Configuration of spool lock mechanism>

The spool lock mechanism 15 can prohibit reverse rotation in the fishing line discharge direction of the spool 12 regardless of the clutch mechanism 21 state, and is a mechanism capable of switching between the locked state and the unlocked state. When the spool lock mechanism 15 is placed in the reverse rotation prohibition state, the rotation in the fishing line discharge direction of the spool 12 is completely locked, and thus it is convenient to cut the fishing line when the gear is caught by foreign matter in the sea, so-called underhang. The spool lock mechanism 15 can be switched between the locked state and the unlocked state by the operation of the lock handle 17.

As shown in FIG. 8, the lock knob 17 has the same structure as the pronunciation knob 16, and is arrange | positioned in parallel with the back of the pronunciation knob 16. As shown in FIG. The lock handle 17 has a handle portion 17a exposed to the outside from the first side cover 6 and a shaft portion 17b. The grip portion 17a moves along the opening 6c. Moreover, the shaft part 17b is guided to the elliptical guide hole 36d shown in FIG. 8, and the lock release position (unoperable position) which separated from the bulging part 6a shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 12A is shown. It can move between an example) and the locked position (an example of an operable position) which approached the bulging part 6a shown to FIG. 10 and FIG. 12B. The shaft portion 17b is distributed in the direction in which the swollen portion 6a is folded to the inaudible position and the swingable position by the urging mechanism 26 provided with the accommodating concave portion 36e as in the sounding knob 16 It is being pressed. Further, similarly to the sounding knob 16, it is possible to recognize at a glance whether the sheet member 27 is opened and is in the locked state by the sheet member 27. [

8 to 10, the spool lock mechanism 15 includes a ratchet wheel 50 mounted on the spool shaft 20 at a position spaced apart from the spool 12 by a distance larger than the pitch portion 70, A ratchet toothed detent 53 which is engaged with the ratchet wheel 50 and a connecting mechanism 54 which connects the ratchet toothed detent 53 and the lock knob 17 to each other. On the outer circumferential surface of the ratchet wheel 50, the ratchet teeth detent 53 prevents the rotation of the fishing line release direction (clockwise rotation in FIGS. 9 and 10) and the sawtooth shape (to allow the rotation of the fishing line winding direction). I) Ratchet teeth 50a are formed.

The ratchet detent 53 is shown in FIG. 10 engaged with the ratchet teeth 50a of the ratchet wheel 50 by the lock handle 17 exposed from the opening 6c of the first side cover 6. The lock position is shifted to the lock release position shown in FIG. 9.

Specifically, the ratchet detent 53 is swingably mounted to the first mechanism mounting plate 36, and the tooth detent portion 53a in contact with the ratchet wheel 50 and the first mechanism mounting plate 53. The mounting portion 53b to be attached to the mounting portion 36, the spring hook portion 53c extending radially from the mounting portion 53b, and the mounting portion 53b between the spring hook portion 53c and the tooth detent portion 53a. ) Has a contact portion 53d extending in the radial direction. One end of a coil spring 67 for pressing the ratchet tooth detent 53 toward the lock position is engaged with the spring catch portion 53c. The other end of the coil spring 67 is locked to the first mechanism mounting plate 36.

The coupling mechanism 54 includes a first link member 68 pivotably connected to the distal end of the shaft portion 17b of the lock handle 17 and a second link member pivotally connected to the first link member 68. 69) The first link member 68 is a plate-shaped member, and its base end is pivotably connected to the shaft portion 17b. At the base end of the first link member 68, a connecting hole 68a formed in an elliptical shape is formed so as to have a slight clearance in the vertical direction with the shaft portion 17b. At the distal end of the first link member 68, a connecting shaft 68b for connecting the second link member 69 is fixed.

One end of the second link member 69 is pivotally connected to the connecting shaft 68b of the first link member 68. [ The other end of the second link member 69 is pivotably supported on the first mechanism mounting plate 36 at the same position as the ratchet toothed detent 53. The second link member 69 is provided with an interlocking protrusion 69a that protrudes in the radial direction on the outer circumferential surface of the other end. The interlocking protrusion 69a can contact the contact portion 53d of the second link member 69.

When the interlocking protrusion 69a is operated from the lock position shown in FIG. 10 to the lock release position shown in FIG. 9, the ratchet tooth stop 53 performs the rotation of FIG. 10 clockwise rotation of the second link member 69. ), Rotate the ratchet tooth detent (53) to the unlocked position. In addition, when operated from the lock release position shown in FIG. 9 to the lock position shown in FIG. 10, the second link member 69 rotates in the counterclockwise rotation of FIG. 9, and is pressed by the coil spring 67. Allowing the counterclockwise rotation of the ratchet tooth detent 53 in FIG. 9, and rotating the ratchet tooth detent 53 to the locked position.

In the spool lock mechanism 15 of such a structure, the thumb of the left hand (the hand opposite to the hand which operates the handle 2) is placed in the bulge part 6a, for example, and the lock handle 17 is stopped by a middle finger or ring finger. ) Is operated in the direction of approaching the bulge 6a, the lock knob 17 is disposed in the locked position. When the lock knob 17 is disposed at the lock position, the first link member 68 moves upward. When the first link member 68 moves upward, the second link member 69 swings counterclockwise in FIG. 9 through the ratchet tooth detent 53 by the pressing force of the coil spring 67, and FIG. 10. As shown in the figure, the tooth detent part 53a of the ratchet tooth detent 53 is in contact with the ratchet wheel 50. As a result, the rotation of the spool 12 in the fishing line discharging direction is locked. Here, since the lock handle 17 is arrange | positioned at the rod mounting side of the bulging part 6a, the lock handle 17 can also be operated by the operation | movement which bends the finger which is easy to apply force using the bulging part 6a. . Therefore, the lock-on-off switching operation can be easily performed.

In this state, when the spool 12 rotates in the line-winding direction, the ratchet tooth detent 53, which is urged toward the lock position by the coil spring 67, vibrates and sounds. Moreover, when it tries to rotate in a fishing line discharge direction, the ratchet teeth 50a contact with the tooth detent part 53a of the ratchet tooth detent 53, and it becomes impossible to rotate. When the lock handle 17 is disposed in the locked position, as described above, it is possible to reliably identify that the on display portion 27a of the sheet member 27 is largely exposed and in the locked state.

9, the ratchet toothed detent 53 is disposed at the disengaged position so that the spool 12 is rotated in the fishing line discharging direction And is not rotated. In the operation to this lock release position, since the pressing force in the lock position by the press mechanism 26 is weak, it can operate with a weak force. For this reason, even if it is operation by the operation | movement which pushes a finger of the direction which is hard to apply force, it can switch operation easily.

<Configuration of Spool Braking Mechanism>

3, 4, 7, and 14, the spool braking mechanism 25 includes a spool 12, a spool braking unit 40 provided in the reel unit 1, a spool during casting, and the like. The rotation speed sensor 41 for detecting the tension acting on the fishing line discharged from the 12, and the spool control unit 42 which electrically controls the spool braking unit 40 in any of the coarse adjustments of the braking pattern in eight stages. ), And the strength and weakness adjusting knob 43 for selecting the braking pattern of eight levels.

The spool braking unit 40 is electrically controllable by braking the spool 12 by power generation. The spool braking unit 40 is arranged side by side in the rotational direction, has a plurality of magnetic poles with different polarities alternately, and rotates in conjunction with the spool 12 and the side of the rotor 60. Cross-sections are arranged at opposing positions, are attached to the reel unit 1 at intervals in the circumferential direction, and are connected in series, and a plurality of coils 62 whose diameters are larger than the entire length are connected in series. The switch element 63 connected to the both ends of the some coil 62 is provided. The spool braking unit 40 brakes the spool 12 by turning on and off a current generated by the relative rotation of the rotor 60 and the coil 62 by the switching element 63. [ The braking force generated in the spool braking unit 40 becomes larger in accordance with the on-time length of the switch element 63. [

The rotor 60 has six disk-shaped magnets 61 arranged in a rotational direction on the outer surface 12e of the flange portion 12c on the right side of the spool 12 and six magnets in the circumferential direction. The magnet holding part 28 hold | maintains at equal intervals. The six magnets 61 are arranged side by side in the circumferential direction, and the polarities alternate. The magnet holding portion 28 is a ring-shaped synthetic resin member and fixed to the outer surface 12e of the flange portion 12c of the spool 12 by a screw member 95, for example. A magnetostrictive washer 65 made of a magnetic material having a through hole 65a at the center is disposed between the magnet holding portion 28 and the outer surface 12e. The magnet 61 is held by the magnetic washer 65 by magnetic force, and is bonded to the magnet retaining portion 68 and the yoke washer 65 by an adhesive.

The coil 62 is of a coreless type in order to prevent cogging and smooth the rotation of the spool 12, and a yoke is not provided. As shown in Fig. 14, the coils 62 are arranged at six positions on the circumference arranged in six equal parts. The coil 62 is centered on an axis parallel to the axial center Y of the spool shaft 20 such that the wound core wire is disposed in the magnetic field of the magnet 61 opposite the magnet 61. The core wire is wound in a rounded fan shape, and is arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction with the center of the shaft X as the center. As a result, the power generation efficiency can be increased and a high braking force can be obtained. The total length L (FIG. 13) of the direction along the axial center X of the coil 62 is 1/4 or less of the diagonal diagonal length D (FIG. 14) which is the largest value of the diameter. The six coils 62 are connected in series, and both ends of the coils 62 are connected to the switch element 63. The coil 62 is arranged so that the distance from the magnet 61 is substantially constant. For this reason, the clearance between the coil 62 and the magnet 61 in rotation can be kept constant. Six coils 62 are attached to a circuit board 66, which will be described later, and the periphery of the coil 62 is covered with an insulating film.

The switch element 63 has, for example, two FETs (field effect transistors) connected in parallel which can be controlled on and off at a high speed. A coil 62 connected in series is connected to each drain terminal of the FET. The switch element 63 is mounted on the surface of the circuit board 66 (the surface facing the flange portion 12c).

The rotational speed sensor 41 uses a reflection type photoelectric sensor having a light projecting portion and a light receiving portion for example, Is disposed on the surface opposite to the first surface 12c. The rotation speed sensor 41 is a sensor unit in which the transparent portion and the light receiving portion are integrally provided in the case. The rotational speed sensor 41 detects a slit of the annular sensor detecting portion 12f formed on the outer surface 12e of the flange portion 12c. The rotational speed of the spool 12 is detected by the pulse signal from the light receiving portion of the rotational speed sensor 41, and the tension acting on the fishing line is detected.

The strength and weakness adjustment knob 43 is provided in order to adjust the braking pattern mentioned later to eight levels of strength. The strength and weakness adjustment knob 43 is rotatably attached to the second side cover 7 and is exposed to the outside through an opening 7d that opens to the upper side of the second side cover 7.

As shown in FIG. 14, the circuit board 66 is a ring-shaped substrate having a washer shape in which a center is opened in a circular shape, and a mounting portion or the like of the handle shaft 30 is notched in an arc shape. It is arrange | positioned substantially concentrically with the axial center Y on the inner surface of the 2nd mechanism mounting plate 37. As shown to FIG. On the surface of the circuit board 66, a plurality of control elements including a microcomputer, various ICs, and the like are mounted. The circuit board 66 is fixed to the inner surface of the second mechanism mounting plate 37 by three screw members 80, for example.

As shown in FIG. 14, the control unit 55 is mounted on the circuit board 66 with, for example, a CPU 55a, a RAM 55b, a ROM 55c, an I / O interface 55d, and the like. It consists of the microcomputer 59. In the ROM 55c of the control unit 55, a control program is stored and a braking pattern for the braking force in eight steps is stored.

The control unit 55 is connected to a rotational speed sensor 41 for detecting the rotational speed of the spool 12 and a knob position sensor 45 for detecting the rotational position of the strength adjusting knob 43. [ In addition, the control unit 55 is connected to gates of the respective FETs of the switch element 63. The control unit 55 controls the switching element 63 of the spool braking unit 40 by a pulse signal from each of the sensors 41 and 45 by using a control program to be described later, Pulse width modulation) signal. Specifically, the controller 55 controls the switch element 63 on and off with an eight-step braking force of the braking force of which the duty ratio D is changed with the elapsed time of casting. The control part 55 is supplied with electric power from the electrical storage element 57 as a power supply. This electric power is also supplied to the rotation speed sensor 41 and the grip position sensor 45. [

The knob position sensor 45 is provided in order to read the rotational position of the strength adjustment knob 43. The handle position sensor 45 is composed of, for example, eight kinds of patterns (not shown) formed on the rear surface of the circuit board 66 and a brush member 81 which rotates integrally with the strength adjustment knob 43, The brush member 81 short-circuits any pattern and detects the rotational position of the strength adjustment knob 43.

The capacitor element 57 as a power source uses, for example, an electrolytic capacitor and is connected to a rectifying circuit 58. [ The rectifier circuit 58 is connected to the switch element 63, converts the alternating current from the spool braking unit 40 which functions as a generator with the rotor 60 and the coil 62 to direct current, The voltage is stabilized and supplied to the power storage element 57. In addition, the rectifying circuit 58 and the condenser element 57 are mounted on the surface of the circuit board 66 as well. Therefore, all components mounted on the circuit board 66 are mounted on the surface of the circuit board 66. Therefore, the shape can be simplified.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the surface and the back surface of the circuit board 66 are formed with the pattern for position detection by the insulating film 96 formed by the hot melt method, for example. It is covered except for the pattern forming portion 66a. As a result, the substrate is sealed in a watertight manner to prevent troubles such as insulation failure. Since the mounting surface of the circuit board 66 is only one surface (surface), the thickness of the insulating film 96 can be made uniform, and the insulating film forming process by a hot melt method can be made efficient. The position detecting pattern forming portion 66a is sealed by water tightly by the two seal members 98a and 98b. Therefore, the liquid is hardly penetrated into this portion.

The strength adjustment knob 43 is mounted on the upper portion of the second mechanism mounting plate 37 so as to be rotatable in the range of, for example, about 270 degrees so as to be disposed near the clutch operation lever 38. [ Between the 2nd mechanism mounting plate 37 and the strength adjustment knob 43, the positioning mechanism 84 which positions the strength adjustment knob 43 to eight positions is provided. In the strength adjustment knob 43, the above-described brush member 81 is mounted so as to be able to move integrally.

As described above, in this embodiment, the strength adjustment knob 43 is disposed at a position close to the clutch operation lever 38 on the handle mounting side. Therefore, a series of operations of the braking force adjustment operation, the clutch-off operation, and the casting operation by the strength adjustment knob 43 can be performed smoothly.

The water depth display unit 13 displays the amount of fishing line discharge from the spool 12, and is used to view depth of water, distance, and the like. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 5, and FIG. 8, the depth display part 13 includes the case member 85 made of synthetic resin, the liquid crystal display device arrange | positioned inside the case member 85, It has a depth display control part (not shown) which controls a liquid crystal display device.

The spherical opening 85a is formed in the position which opposes the opening 6e of the case member 85, and the lens member 88 made of transparent resin is attached to the opening 85a. The opening 85a is disposed opposite to the opening 6e formed in the bulge 6a. The lens member 88 is disposed outside the opening 85a, and the opening 85a is formed by suitable welding means such as ultrasonic welding by fitting a horn from the outer surface of the lens member 88. It is fixed to the outer part of the). In the related art, since the lens member is disposed inside the opening 85a and welded, the lens member has a weak strength against external pressure. However, in the present embodiment, since the lens member is disposed outside and welded, the strength against the external pressure is increased. The case member 85 is disposed in the swelling portion 6a and an opening 6e formed in the inclination of the swelling portion 6a is disposed outside the lens member 88. [ By this opening 6e, the welded portion of the lens member 88 can be hidden.

The water depth display control part rotates the spool 12 by the signal from the rotation sensor 87 which consists of a pair of reed switches which detect the sensor detection part 86 which has the magnet attached to the edge part of the spool shaft 20. FIG. By the whole quantity, the discharge length of a fishing line is computed and it controls a liquid crystal display device by this. In the water depth display section 13, a power source such as a battery is housed. Incidentally, the amount of rotation may be calculated by a signal from the rotation speed sensor 41 disposed on the mounting side of the handle 2.

[Operation and Operation of Reels During Malnutrition]

At the time of casting, the clutch operating lever 38 is swinged backward to bring the clutch mechanism 21 into the clutch off state. Further, the sounding knob 16 and the lock knob 17 are operated to make the spool sounding mechanism 14 and the spool lock mechanism 15 inoperable. In the clutch off state, the spool 12 is freely rotated, and the fishing line is vigorously discharged from the spool 12 due to the casting and the weight of the equipment. When the spool 12 rotates by this casting, the magnet 61 rotates the inner circumferential side of the coil 62. When the switch element 63 is turned on, a current flows in the coil 62, causing the spool 12 to brake. do. At the time of casting, the rotation speed of the spool 12 is gradually increased, and if it exceeds the peak, it is gradually reduced. In addition, when the spool 12 rotates, the display of the water depth display section 13 changes, and the amount (length) of the preparations discharged from the spool 12 is displayed.

When the gear is undertaken, the clutch operating lever 38 is swung forward to bring the clutch mechanism 21 into the clutch on state, and the sounding knob 16 moves toward the bulge 6a. By operating, the spool sounding mechanism 14 is made soundable. The fishing rod is set on a rocky place and waits for a mouthful. If there is a fish caught in the preparation, the fishing line may be released. As a result, the spool 12 rotates in the fishing line discharge direction, the spool sounding mechanism 14 in the soundable state is pronounced, and the angler can recognize that there is pressure.

In addition, in the case of being caught in a rock or the like in the water, the lock knob 17 is operated in the locked position in order to put the spool lock mechanism 15 in the locked state. In this state, the rotation of the spool 12 in the fishing line releasing direction is directly locked. In this state, the fishing line and the fishing rod are arranged in a straight line, the fishing line is tensioned, and the fishing line is pulled backward to cut the fishing line.

[Control operation of the control unit]

Next, the outline brake control of the control part 55 at the time of casting is demonstrated.

The spool braking mechanism 25 operates in any of eight types of braking patterns. The braking pattern is selected by the strength and adjustment knob 43. In addition, a braking pattern is a pattern in which a braking force (duty ratio of the switch element 63) changes in the braking time from the start of casting. The present inventors have found that if a large braking force is applied when the tension is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the attitude of the gear is reversed and stabilized to fly just before the peak of the rotational speed.

The following control is performed in order to fly the vehicle in a stable posture by braking immediately before the peak of the rotational speed. That is, in the first period in the beginning of casting, strong braking force is applied for a short time with the highest duty ratio (Dn1, n represents a step of braking force, and an integer of 1 to 8) to reverse the preparation (first braking process). In the subsequent second period, the braking force is gradually weakened, and the duty ratio Dn2 is changed so as to brake gradually with a constant braking force on the way (second braking process). In the final third period, the duty ratio Dn3 is changed to brake the spool 12 with a braking force that gradually weakens until it reaches a predetermined rotational speed (third braking process). These duty ratios Dn1 to Dn3 change in eight steps by setting the strength and adjustment knob 43. In this embodiment, the duty ratio is shifted in eight steps. Therefore, the control unit 55 performs the first to third braking processes for varying the duty ratio for turning on the switch element 63 in three stages in accordance with the braking time.

Here, when braking with a strong braking force before the peak of the rotational speed, the tension that is equal to or less than the first predetermined value Fs increases rapidly, and backrush is prevented, and the gear is stabilized and flying. Therefore, the attitude of the gear is stabilized while the backlash is prevented, and the gear can be cast farther.

In addition, according to the rotational speed of the spool at the time of casting, the three braking processes are controlled by different duty ratios and braking times, so that the spool is braked at different duty ratios and braking times by the rotational speed of the spool even at the same setting. For this reason, even when casting with different rotational speeds of the spool, the braking force adjustment operation becomes unnecessary, and the burden on the angler involved in the braking force adjustment operation can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the end surface of the coil 62 is arrange | positioned on the side surface of the rotor 60, even if the spool braking mechanism 25 is provided outside the spool 12, the dimension of the spool 12 in the radial direction The increase of can be suppressed. Moreover, since the coil 62 whose total length L is smaller than the coil diameter D of the coil 62 was used, even if the spool braking mechanism 25 is provided outside the spool 12, the axial center of the spool 12 is reduced. The increase in the length of the direction can be suppressed. For this reason, even if the spool braking mechanism 25 is provided outside the spool 12, the reel size can be suppressed.

Moreover, in operation mechanisms, such as the spool sounding mechanism 14 and the spool lock mechanism 15, since the pronunciation knob 16 and the lock knob 17 as an operation member were arrange | positioned at the fishing rod mounting side of the bulging part 6a, The operation member can be operated in the state which is easy to apply force using the bulging part 6a. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform the switching operation of the operating mechanism.
