The reel unit (5) is provided with a power supply unit (38) for supplying electric power to the drive motor (8). This power feeding unit 38 is formed in the lower surface area on the front side of the left plate 5A, and a removable portable battery (not shown) is attached to this power feeding unit 38 or placed under the feet. A power supply cord 38a (refer to Fig. 12) supplied with power from a battery or a power supply unit installed in the fishing boat is attached.

As shown in Fig. 7, the control case 102 is above the spool 7 and its rotating shaft (as this rotating shaft, in this embodiment, the drive motor 8 is disposed on the outside of the spool 7, Because there is, the spool shaft 7a corresponds. In a separate form in which the drive motor 8 is disposed inside the spool 7, since the spool shaft 7a does not exist, the rotation shaft of the motor 8 corresponds) near) It has a size that covers the level wind mechanism 23 and the drive motor 8 from the top.

Further, at the rear portion of the control case 102 , an operation member 40 for adjusting the output of the drive motor 8 is disposed. The operating member 40 of the first embodiment is rotatably supported by a support shaft 41 between the left and right side plates, and the operating member 40 holds the rear end edge 102a of the control case 102 . are placed accordingly. The support shaft 41 is arranged substantially parallel to the spool shaft 7a, whereby the operation member 40 is exposed to the spool side as well, and in addition to the front-rear direction (planar view shown in Fig. 1), It is comprised so that rotation operation can be carried out toward an up-down direction (as seen from the rear surface shown in FIG. 3). In addition, the operation member 40 may be configured to be rotatably supported with respect to the control case in which a concave depression is formed on the rear end edge 102a of the control case 102 toward the front.

In a state in which the operation member 40 is supported between the left and right plates, at least one of the planar operation part 42 and the planar operation part 42 in the central region thereof (in this embodiment, on both sides) formed in) and provided with a contact portion 43 that the finger touches when a finger (thumb) is placed on the planar operation portion 42 .

The planar shape manipulation unit 42 is formed in a plate shape so that the surface thereof is flat, and is large enough to place the abdomen of the thumb (the width W between the contact parts is about 12 to 30 mm; see Fig. 9). there is. In addition, the contact part 43 just needs to restrict the axial movement of a finger when a finger is placed on the planar operation part 42, and in this 1st Embodiment, it is the said plane on both sides of the planar operation part 42. It is comprised by integrally forming the substantially cylindrical member 45 which generate|occur|produces the height difference with respect to the surface of the shape manipulation part 42. As shown in FIG. Specifically, about the thickness T (refer FIG. 6) of the contact part, it is preferable to set it as about 1-6 mm, for example, This makes it possible to stabilize the bond of the finger mounted on the operation part.

The substantially cylindrical member 45 formed on both sides of the planar control unit 42 can be rotated in the front-rear direction by touching the surface with the thumb, and has a function as a dial-shaped operating unit capable of rotating operation. (hereinafter referred to as the dial-shaped operation unit 45). The axial length L of the dial-shaped operation part 45 is easily rotated in the vertical direction by touching the thumb from the lower side (from the surface of the spool), or by pressing from the upper side to easily rotate in the front-rear direction. It is preferable to have about 3 to 15 mm. In addition, in such a configuration, it is preferable to form on the surface of the dial-shaped operation part 45 continuous irregularities 45a or the like in the circumferential direction, whereby rotation operation can be performed without sliding the touched finger. It becomes possible to carry out easily and stably.

Although the planar operation part 42 may be configured simply as a flat surface, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, it is preferable to form a recessed part 42a on the surface so that the body is stable when a finger is placed on it. Do. For this reason, the periphery 42b of the recessed part is in a swollen state, and when a finger is put on the recessed part 42a, an abdominal part is stabilized, and operability is improved. In addition, on the surface of the concave portion 42a, a means for improving operability by suppressing sliding (slip suppression portion), for example, as shown in the figure, a plurality of projections 42c along the support axis direction It is preferable to form or to deposit a high friction member or the like (not shown). Thereby, it becomes possible to suppress sliding on the surface and to perform stable operation. In addition, about the edge part 42b' of the periphery 42b, it is preferable to set it as a curved surface in a cross-sectional view. That is, by setting it as such a curved surface, the finger contact at the time of pushing up and operating the planar operation part 42 with the finger resting on the recessed part 42a shifted backward is improved, and operability is improved.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the planar shape manipulation unit 42 is preferably arranged so as to be in substantially the same direction as the surface of the control case 102 when the output of the drive motor 8 is zero. . With such an arrangement, in a state in which the output of the drive motor is zero (a state waiting for a fish to bite), the thumb can be placed on the planar operation unit 42 as it is, and the function as a thumbrest can also be exhibited.

In consideration of operability, it is preferable to provide the dial-shaped operation unit 45 on both sides of the planar operation unit 42 as described above. It is preferable to form in a size protruding outward in the radial direction. This makes it easy to grip the planar operation part 42 with a finger, and also makes it easy to easily push up the spool while summing it. In addition, as shown in Fig. 9, the planar shape manipulation unit 42 is configured so that the width in the axial direction decreases as it moves to the distal end, thereby making it difficult to entangle the threads and improving the finger contact, thereby making rotational manipulation easier. can Moreover, about the height H of the planar operation part 42 (height from the center of the support shaft 41 to the front-end|tip edge; see FIG. 9), it is preferable to set it to about 10-20 mm. If this is 10 mm or more, it is possible to easily grasp the speed of the drive motor from zero to the front of MAX, and as shown in FIG. By setting it to 20 mm or less, it becomes possible to prevent the operation from being obstructed even when the spool is summing.

In the above-described configuration, the substantially cylindrical shape constituting the dial-shaped operation portion 45 is a concept including a hollow part wholly or partially inside may be solid. In addition, about the external shape, of course, the uneven|corrugated 45a as shown in the figure may be formed, of course, the protrusion part (not shown) which can press a finger|toe may be formed as well as an accurate cylindrical shape. Alternatively, the axial portion may have an external shape that can be rotated by contacting the abdomen of the thumb in the axial direction, such as bulging or concave in the axial direction. In addition, the rotation surface may protrude from the surface of the control case 102, and may be made into a substantially flat surface.

As shown in FIG. 1, the support shaft 41 is provided with a detection means for detecting the operation angles of the planar operation unit 42 and the dial-shaped operation unit 45, specifically, an angle sensor 110, and outputs a manipulation position signal according to the rotational position of the support shaft 41 . That is, the angle sensor 110 outputs an operation signal according to the operation position of the planar operation portion 42 (dial operation portion 45), and the output of the drive motor 8 is adjusted according to the operation position of each operation portion. it is possible to do In addition, the angle sensor 110 may be provided with a function of generating a signal according to the operation angle of each of the planar-shaped operation unit 42 and the dial-shaped operation unit 45, for example, according to the operation amount of each operation member. Various structures are applied, such as those equipped with a potentiometer that outputs a change in resistance value, one equipped with a magnet to detect changes in the magnetic field according to the rotational position, and one equipped with an encoder that generates a pulse according to the manipulated variable it is possible to do

The support shaft 41 is rotatably supported so as to be substantially parallel to the rotation shaft (spool shaft 7a) of the spool 7 , and the operation member 40 is a rear end edge of the control case 102 . Since they are arranged along the , the planar operation portion 42 and the dial-shaped operation portion 45 can be displaced substantially in the front-rear direction and in the vertical direction. In particular, since the planar manipulation unit 42 is in a state concave by the contact unit 43, when the thumb is brought into contact with the surface of the planar manipulation unit 42, the position of the thumb is not significantly shifted horizontally. , to the torsional load caused by the force applied to the center of gravity of the reel body or the power supply 38 There is no case where the operability is deteriorated. In this case, considering the horizontal displacement of the position of the finger (thumb) when the planar operation unit 42 is rotated, the approximately parallel range is ±30° with respect to the rotation axis of the spool 7 It should be within the range. That is, within the range of ±30°, even when the operation unit 42 is freely rotated while the reel unit 5 is being gripped, the position of the finger (thumb) is less likely to be shifted in the lateral direction, and the reel unit is not gripped. The balance does not deteriorate when maintained.

As described above, in the control case 102 , the control unit 100 for controlling the driving of the drive motor 8 is accommodated (see FIG. 6 ), and the planar operation unit 42 (or the dial-shaped operation unit 45 ) is accommodated. ), the output of the drive motor 8 is adjusted according to the amount of rotation manipulation. In this case, the control part 100 is set so that the output of the drive motor 8 may rise by rotating the planar operation part 42 and the dial-shaped operation part 45 toward the front. Thereby, an operation (to find out the depth of the water while the device is tensioned (in general bottom fishing in the vicinity of the seabed) , adjusting the amount of thread feeding according to the water depth)), by extending the thumb as it is and pushing up the flat-shaped operation unit 42 or the dial-shaped operation unit 45, the fishing line Winding operation can be performed instantaneously, and the improvement of operability is achieved.

The relationship between the amount of rotation of the above-described planar operation unit 42 (or the dial-shaped operation unit 45 ) and the output of the drive motor 8 is arbitrary. In the present embodiment, the reference positions of the planar operating unit 42 and the dial operating unit 45 (as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the planar operating unit 42 is substantially flush with the surface of the control case 102 ). It is set so that the motor output becomes Max when the motor output value is set to zero and the motor is rotated forward by approximately 120°. Of course, you may set so that the output of the drive motor 8 may rise when the planar operation part 42 and the dial-shaped operation part 45 are rotated toward the rear.

A display unit (liquid crystal display unit) 120 is provided on the surface of the control case 102 to display the length of the fishing line (line length information) etc. that have been unwound, and around it, various information can be set. A plurality of operation buttons 121a and 121b are arranged. These operation buttons 121a and 121b receive various information from anglers, such as, for example, depth information for stopping the put-in device at a desired depth, output range setting information for changing the output variable range of the drive motor 8, and the like. has the function to

In addition, a thread length measuring device (not shown) capable of detecting the feed amount of the fishing line wound around the spool 7 is disposed on the frame. In this thread length measuring device, when the spool 7 is rotationally driven by drawing/winding a fishing line, for example, a magnet attached to the rotating part and a magnetic sensor detecting this are used to detect the actual rotation amount and rotation direction. is detected, the detection signal is generated, and the control unit 100 calculates and displays it on the display unit 120 .

Next, the action and effect of the electric fishing reel having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12 .

As described above, the operation member 40 for adjusting the output of the drive motor 8 according to the first embodiment includes the planar operation unit 42 and two pieces formed on both sides of the planar operation unit 42 . Since the dial operation part 45 is provided, the adjustment operation of the motor output can be performed according to the situation, and it becomes the structure excellent in operability correspondence. That is, assuming the holding state, the state of a stationary fishing rod with the rod installed on the rod keeper, or an operation to frequently find out the depth of the water (repeat the operation of loosening the clutch to release the fishing line, inserting the clutch to wind the fishing line a little), or , assuming the device recovery mode (high-speed winding of the spool), depending on the situation, it becomes possible for the angler to select the flat-shaped operation unit 42 or the dial-shaped operation unit 45 that is easy to operate.

For example, in a state in which the reel body 5 is being gripped together with the fishing rod R (state waiting for the bite of a fish), or a state in which a fishing rod is set to a rod keeper and used as a stationary fishing rod, etc., shown in FIG. As described above, the thumb of the hand holding the reel unit 5 can be placed in contact with the surface of the planar operation unit 42, so that the function as a thumbrest can be exhibited. In this case, the contact portions 43 are present on both sides of the planar operating unit 42 , and the abdomen can be positioned in the recessed portion 42a of the planar operating unit 42 in the left-right direction of the fingers. The fluctuation of E is suppressed and the original bird is improved.

Then, when the fish hits and the spool 7 is wound and driven in this state, the thumb placed on the planar manipulation unit 42 is shifted backwards, and as shown in Fig. 11, the planar manipulation unit 42 as it is. ), it becomes possible to easily wind up and drive the spool. In particular, when the other hand (right hand) is holding the front fishing rod R of the reel unit 5, the winding operation can be performed without releasing the right hand, so when a large fish is caught, or the rod When setting the fishing rod to the keeper, such as when biting, without releasing the right hand holding the fishing rod R, it is possible to instantaneously move to the winding operation, and the contact part 43 also eliminates tremor in the left and right directions. , the reliability of the winding adjustment operation is improved.

In this case, with respect to the winding operation of the spool, not only the above-described form, but also by moving the finger placed on the planar operating unit 42 to either left or right, touching the dial operating unit 45, and rotating as it is. possible. That is, when winding the spool while holding the reel body with one hand, depending on the angler's preference, it can be operated to push up the flat-shaped operation unit 42 or to turn the dial-shaped operation unit 45. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability.

In addition, while summing the spool while gripping the reel body with one hand, when jerking the fishing rod with the other hand, or when there is a fishing rod while operating the fishing rod, etc., use your thumb from the spool to It is also possible to immediately shift to the winding operation by touching the edge portion 42b' of the 42 or touching the surface of the dial-shaped operation portion 45 and rotating it upward as it is.

In addition, since the planar operation part 42 is formed in a planar shape, as shown in FIG. 12, this part can be gripped and operated by the thumb and forefinger, and as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the conventional The output adjustment of the drive motor similar to that of the lever-type operating member of In particular, since the planar operation part 42 protrudes radially outward from the surface of the dial-shaped operation part 45 and is formed in the central region of the left and right plates, it is easy to grasp by the senses without actually seeing it with the naked eye, Stabilization at the time of operation is achieved.

In the above first embodiment, the planar operating units 42 are provided in the central region of the left and right side plates, and the dial-shaped operating units 45 are provided at both left and right sides thereof. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Hereinafter, as described in the second and third embodiments, the planar operating unit 42 may be positioned at any position between the left and right plates, and the dial-shaped operating unit 45 may be located at any of the left and right of the planar operating unit 42 . There is no need to install it on one side, or to install it on either side of the left and right. That is, the installation position of the planar operation unit 42 and the installation position and presence or absence of the dial-shaped operation unit are not essential components for achieving the object of the present invention.

In this case, the axial dimension of the dial-shaped operating part 45 is set longer than the axial dimension of the dial-shaped operating part 45 of the first embodiment, and the axial dimension of the planar-shaped operating part 42 is set in the first embodiment. It is set shorter than the axial dimension of the planar shape operation part 42 of a form. In addition, the position of the dial-shaped operation part 45 and the position of the planar-shaped operation part 42 may be opposite to the left and right. In addition, the structure other than that is the same as that of 1st Embodiment.

14 : has shown the electric reel for fishing which concerns on 3rd Embodiment of this invention. As shown in figure, the electric reel for fishing of 3rd Embodiment differs from 1st, 2nd Embodiment mentioned above in the form of the operation member 40. As shown in FIG. That is, in this embodiment, the planar operation part 42 provided between the dial-shaped operation parts 45 and 45 on the left and right does not have a lever shape as in the first and second embodiments, but rather the surface of the support shaft 41 . This is realized by forming a flat surface. In this case, the boundary line between the planar operating portion 42 and the dial-shaped operating portion 45 and/or the step portion between the cylindrical portion and the planar portion in the support shaft forms the contact portion 43 . In addition, an uneven sliding restraint portion may be formed on the surface of the planar operation portion 42 . In addition, although the planar operation part 42 is formed by making the surface of the support shaft 41 flat in the above, you may configure it as a separate body by providing a planar member to the support shaft 41. As shown in FIG. According to such a structure, since the operation member 40 becomes compact and lightweight, the degree of freedom in design increases, and it can contribute also to downsizing of the reel body. In addition, except for this structure, it is the same as that of 1st, 2nd embodiment.

15 : has shown the electric reel for fishing which concerns on 4th Embodiment of this invention. As shown, the operation member 40 shown in this structural example is the same as that of the first embodiment in that it has a planar operation unit 42 at the center and a dial-shaped operation unit 45 on both sides thereof, but a planar operation unit 42 . 42 is detachably attached to the operation member 42 .

The planar operation unit 42 configured as described above is detachable from the operation member 40 by various mechanical means such as screw fixing and press-fitting, as shown by the dashed-dotted line and the solid line in Fig. 15, respectively. . As described above, since the planar operating unit 42 is detachable from the operating member 40, a user (a fisherman) can remove the planar operating unit 42 from the operating member 40 according to the usage situation or preference to dial the dial. Only the shape manipulation unit 45 can be used, and further, by preparing a plurality of types of the planar shape manipulation unit 42, it is also possible to selectively use the unit according to the user's preference, fishing situation, and the like.

As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is formed in the operation member which adjusts the output of a drive motor in the at least one side of the planar operation part 42 and the said planar operation part 42. It can be any structure provided with the contact part 43 which the finger mounted on the planar operation part 42 touches, and it is possible to deform|transform suitably, such as the installation position of the operation member, an installation method, and an operation direction. In addition, about the contact part 43, it is not comprised with the dial-shaped operation part 45, You may form a contact part between the planar operation part 42 and the same planar member. Moreover, about a contact part, the structure provided only in one side may be sufficient. In any case, what is necessary is just to have a contact function which prevents the user's finger which is mounted on the planar shape operation part 42 from deviate|deviates sideways or flows down.
