In this type of electric reel, it is known that a pressure sensor is used as an operating unit to change the winding speed of the spool (Patent Document 1).

[Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-108602

The operation unit of Patent Document 1 adjusts the rotational speed of the motor according to the pressing force, but it is difficult to add or subtract the pressing force, especially when slightly accelerating or decelerating the speed. Therefore, when attempting to finely adjust the speed, there is a risk that more pressure than intended may be generated and the acceleration/deceleration of the motor's rotational speed may become rapid. Additionally, in the speed adjustment switch of Patent Document 2, the rotational speed of the motor changes depending on the operation time of the switch, so it is difficult to quickly and easily obtain the desired rotational speed of the motor.

The object of the present invention is to enable the motor output of an electric reel to be quickly and easily adjusted in a motor control device.

The electric reel motor control device according to one aspect of the present invention is an electric reel motor control device that drives a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body with a motor, and includes a first pressure operation unit and a motor control means. The first pressure operation unit is installed in the reel body. The motor control means controls the output of the motor according to the pressing force and duration of pressing the first pressing operation unit.

In this electric reel motor control device, the output of the motor is controlled according to the pressing force and duration of pressing the first pressing operation unit. Therefore, for example, it is possible to easily fine-tune the output of the motor by controlling the output of the motor to increase or decrease by a predetermined value regardless of the pressing force within a predetermined time range. In addition, for example, after a predetermined time range is exceeded, the output of the motor can be quickly and easily adjusted by controlling the output of the motor to increase or decrease depending on the pressing force.

Preferably, the motor control means increases or decreases the output of the motor by a predetermined value within a predetermined time range. In this case, it is possible to easily fine-tune the output of the motor within a predetermined time range.

Preferably, the motor control means increases or decreases the output of the motor according to the pressing force in a first time range whose duration exceeds the predetermined time range. In this case, the output of the motor can be quickly and easily adjusted by controlling the output of the motor to increase or decrease significantly as the pressing force increases in the first time range.

Preferably, the motor control means increases or decreases the output of the motor by a predetermined value at set time intervals according to the pressing force in the second time range exceeding the first time range. In this case, in the second time range, for example, as the pressing force increases, the output of the motor is increased or decreased by a predetermined value at short time intervals, making it easy to control the output of the motor, including fine adjustment.

Preferably, the motor control means increases or decreases the output of the motor by a predetermined value at set time intervals according to the pressing force within a first time range whose duration exceeds the predetermined time range. In this case, in the first time range, for example, as the pressing force increases, the output of the motor is increased or decreased by a predetermined value at short time intervals, making it easy to control the output of the motor, including fine adjustment.

Preferably, the motor output is the rotational speed of the motor. In this case, the rotation speed of the motor can be quickly and easily adjusted.

Preferably, the motor output is the torque of the motor. In this case, the torque of the motor can be adjusted quickly and easily.

Preferably, it further includes a second pressure operation unit installed on the reel body, and the motor control means increases the output of the motor according to the duration, and increases the output of the motor according to the duration and pressure force of pressing the second pressure operation unit. decreases. In this case, the output of the motor can be easily adjusted using the two operating units.

According to the present invention, the motor output can be quickly and easily adjusted in the motor control device of the electric reel.

The electric reel 100 employing one embodiment of the present invention is an electric reel whose motor is driven by electric power supplied from an external power source, as shown in FIG. 1. In addition, this electric reel 100 has a water depth display function that displays the water depth of the tool according to the fishing line delivery length or fishing line winding length.

The electric reel 100 includes a reel body 1 that can be mounted on a fishing rod, a spool 2 disposed inside the reel body 1, a motor 3 that rotates the spool 2 in the fishing line winding direction, and a reel. It is mainly equipped with a handle (4) for rotating the spool (2) disposed on the side of the main body (1) and a counter case (5) for displaying the water depth.

The reel body 1 includes a frame 6, a first side cover 7a that covers one side of the frame 6, a second side cover 7b that covers the other side of the frame 6, and a frame 6. It has a front cover, not shown, that covers the front part of the. In addition, inside the reel body 1, there is a level wind mechanism (not shown) that operates in conjunction with the spool 2 and a mechanism that transmits the rotation of the motor 3 and the handle 4 to the spool 2. A rotation transmission mechanism, not shown, is installed.

The spool 2 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1 between the first side cover 7a and the second side cover 7b. The motor 3 is disposed inside the spool 2.

The handle 4 is rotatably supported at the lower center of the first side cover 7a. Additionally, above the support portion of the handle 4, a clutch operating member 9 is arranged so as to be able to swing. The clutch operating member 9 is a member for turning on and off a clutch (not shown) installed between the motor 3, the handle 4, and the spool 2.

The counter case 5 is disposed on the upper front side of the reel body 1 and is fixed to the first side plate 6a and the second side plate 6b constituting the frame 6. A display portion 10 having a liquid crystal display is installed on the upper surface of the counter case 5. On the rear side of the display unit 10, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there are a first pressure operation unit 11, a second pressure operation unit 12, and three operation switches ( 13) is placed. In this embodiment, the first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 are arranged with a bias toward the side opposite to the handle 4 from the center in the left and right direction. Moreover, the 1st pressing operation part 11 and the 2nd pressing operation part 12 are arrange|positioned adjacent to each other in the vertical direction. The three operation switches 13 are mainly used to make various settings of the electric reel 100. Inside the counter case 5, a control unit 21 (see FIG. 3) that performs various controls is accommodated.

The first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 each have pressure sensors 11a and 12a, as shown in FIG. 3 . The pressure sensors 11a and 12a are members that output an electric signal at a level depending on the force (hereinafter referred to as pressure force) that presses the first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12, and is dependent on the magnitude of the pressure force. The resulting detection value is output as an electric signal to the motor control unit 22 of the control unit 21, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 21 has a motor control unit 22 that controls the motor 3 and a display control unit 23 that controls the display unit 10 as a functional configuration. The motor control unit 22 controls the driving of the motor 3 according to the pressing operation of the first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 through a motor driving circuit 24 that PWM drives the motor 3. . In detail, the motor control unit 22 controls the output of the motor 3 (hereinafter referred to as motor output) according to the duration and pressing force of pressing the first pressing operation unit 11 or the second pressing operation unit 12. Control. In this embodiment, the motor control unit 22 increases the motor output according to the pressing force while pressing the first pressing operation unit 11, and increases the motor output according to the pressing force while pressing the second pressing operation unit 12. Reduce output. Additionally, the motor control unit 22 maintains the motor output when the pressing of the first pressing operation unit 11 or the second pressing operation unit 12 is stopped.

The control unit 21 is connected to the first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 and the operation switch 13. Additionally, the control unit 21 is connected to a display unit 10, a spool sensor 25 for detecting the rotation speed and direction of rotation of the spool 2, and a storage unit 26. The storage unit 26 is, for example, a non-volatile memory, and stores various setting information of the electric reel 100, such as fish habitat position information and ship edge stop position information.

<Motor control processing>

Next, an example of the flow of motor control processing performed by the motor control unit 22 of the control unit 21 when the power of the electric reel 100 is turned on is explained according to the flowchart shown in FIGS. 4 to 8. . Here, the motor output is controlled in steps of Nmax+1 from 0 to Nmax. Stage 0 is a state in which the motor 3 is stopped, and stage Nmax is a state in which the motor 3 is being driven at maximum output.

Additionally, the lower and upper limits of the pressure output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a are set (for example, a lower limit of 30 grams and an upper limit of 2 kilograms). Then, the range of the lower limit and upper limit is divided into arbitrary stages (for example, divided into 31 equal parts), and then the number of increases and decreases of the motor output stage corresponding to each stage is set. Also, it is desirable to set the number of increases and decreases of the motor output stages to increase as the pressing force increases.

Here, the motor (3) is controlled using the PWM method, and the maximum output is a duty ratio of 100%. The motor output is, for example, the rotational speed of the motor 3. Here, when the rotational speed of the spool 2 decreases due to load, feedback control is performed to maintain a predetermined rotational speed.

First, the flow of motor control processing when the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing force P1 of 30 g or more will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, and 6.

In step S1, it is determined whether the first pressing operation unit 11 has been pressed with a pressing force P1 of 30 g or more. Specifically, for example, it is determined whether the first pressure operation unit 11 has been pressed with a pressure P1 of 30 g or more by detecting the output from the pressure sensor 11a of the first pressure operation unit 11. If it is determined that the first pressing operation unit 11 has been pressed with a pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the process moves to step S2. If only an output of less than 30 g of pressing force P1 is detected, it is assumed that no pressing has occurred and the output is ignored to avoid erroneous operation. And here, for example, a resistance film type pressure sensor is used to configure the circuit so that the voltage as output is proportional to the pressing force.

In step S2, measurement of the duration T1 (hereinafter simply referred to as “duration time T1”) during which the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed is started. In addition, the duration T1 here refers to the time during which the first pressure operation part 11 is continuously pressed with a pressure P1 of 30 g or more.

In step S3, the current motor output stage N0 is read and the process moves to step S4.

In step S4, it is determined whether the motor output stage N0 is less than Nmax. That is, here it is determined whether the current motor 3 is rotating at maximum output. If it is determined that the motor is rotating at maximum output, the output cannot be increased any further, so the process proceeds to step S5 and the current motor output is maintained. That is, in this case, the motor output max is maintained. If it is determined that the motor output step N0 is less than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S6.

In step S6, the motor output step N0 is set to the motor output step N1 increased by one step, and the process moves to step S7.

In step S7, it is determined whether the motor output step N1 set in step S6 is less than Nmax. That is, here it is determined whether the current motor 3 is rotating at maximum output. If it is determined that rotation is at maximum output, the process proceeds to step S5 and the motor output is maintained at maximum output. If it is determined that the motor output step N1 is less than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S8.

In step S8, it is determined whether or not the pressing of the first pressing operation unit 11 is continued. If it is determined that the pressure is not continuing, the process proceeds to step S5 and the motor output stage N1 set in step S6 is maintained. If it is determined that the pressure is continuing, the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, it is determined whether the duration T1 is less than 100 ms. If it is determined that the duration T1 is less than 100 ms, the process returns to step S8 and determines whether the pressure of the first pressure operation unit 11 is continuing. If it is determined that the duration T1 is 100 ms or more, the process proceeds to step S10 shown in FIG. 5.

In step S10, the pressing force P1 of the first pressing operation unit 11 is detected, and the process moves to step S11.

In step S11, the step increment number M1 of the motor output stage corresponding to the pressing force P1 detected in step S10 is read from the storage unit 26, and the process moves to step S12.

In step S12, it is determined whether the step increment number M1 added to the motor output step N0 read in step S3 shown in Fig. 4 is less than Nmax. If it is more than Nmax, the process goes to step S13 and the current motor output stage N1 is set to Nmax. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S5 shown in FIG. 4 and the current motor output is maintained. That is, in this case, the motor output max is maintained. In step S12, if the step increment number M1 added to the motor output step N0 is less than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the motor output stage in which the step increment number M1 is increased to the motor output stage N0 read in step S3 is set as a new motor output stage N1. Specifically, for example, when the motor output stage N0 is "4" and the first pressure operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressure P1 of 300 g to 400 g, a preset step increases corresponding to the range of the pressure P1. Add a number (for example, “5”) and set the motor output stage N1 to “9”. After that, the process moves to step S15.

In step S15, it is determined whether the pressure of the first pressure operation unit 11 is continued. If it is determined that the pressure is not continuing, the process proceeds to step S5 shown in Fig. 4 and the current motor output step N1 is maintained. If it is determined that the pressure is continuing, the process proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, it is determined whether the duration T1 is less than 300 ms. If it is determined that the duration T1 is less than 300 ms, the process proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, the pressing force P1 of the first pressing operation unit 11 is detected, and the process moves to step S18.

In step S18, the step increment number M2 of the motor output stage corresponding to the detected pressing force P1 is read from the storage unit 26, and the process moves to step S19.

In step 19, it is determined whether the motor output step obtained by increasing the step increment number M2 to the motor output step N0 read in step S3 is greater than the current motor output step N1. If it is determined that it is not large, the process returns to step S15. Specifically, for example, if the motor output stage N0 is “4”, the step increment number M2 is “3”, and the current motor output stage N1 is 9, 4(N0)+3(M2)<9(N1) , and returns to step S15 while maintaining the current motor output step N1. If it is determined to be large, the process proceeds to step S20. Specifically, for example, when the step increase number M2 is 7, 4(N0)+7(M2)>9(N1) becomes, and the process moves to step S20. That is, when the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a stronger force, the process moves to step S20.

In step S20, it is determined whether the motor output step obtained by adding the step increment number M2 to the motor output step N0 read in step S3 is less than Nmax. If it is determined to be less than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S21.

In step S21, the motor output stage that increases the step increment number M2 to the motor output stage N0 read in step S3 is set as a new motor output stage N1 (for example, "11"), and the process returns to step S15.

In step S20, if it is determined that the motor output stage by increasing the step increment number M2 to the motor output stage N0 read in step S3 is greater than or equal to Nmax, the process proceeds to step S22 and the current motor output stage N1 is set to Nmax. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S5 shown in FIG. 4 and the current motor output is maintained. That is, in this case, the motor output max is maintained.

Here, while the pressure of the first pressure operation unit 11 continues and it is determined in step S16 that the duration T1 is 300 ms or more, first, in step S14, the step increment number M1 read in step S11 is equal to step S3. It is added to the motor output stage N0 read from. Next, when the step increment number M2 read in step S18 exceeds the step increment number M1 added in step S14, the motor output step N1 is newly set. Afterwards, when the step increment number M2 newly read in step S18 exceeds the step increment number M2 added in step S21, the motor output step N1 is newly set. In other words, each time it is pressed with a pressing force P1 that is stronger than the pressing pressure P1 corresponding to the added number of step increases, the motor output stage N1 is newly set, and when the pressing force P1 becomes smaller, the number of step increments up to that point is added. The motor output level is maintained.

If it is determined in step S16 that the duration T1 is 300 ms or more, the process proceeds to step S26 shown in FIG. 6.

In step S26, the motor output stage in which the current motor output stage N1 is increased by one step is set as the new motor output stage N2. After that, the process moves to step S27.

In step S27, it is determined whether the motor output step N2 increased by one step in step S26 is less than Nmax. That is, here it is determined whether the current motor 3 is rotating at maximum output. If it is determined that the rotation is at maximum output, the process proceeds to step S5 and the motor output is maintained at maximum output. If it is determined that the motor output step N2 is less than Nmax, the flow advances to step S28.

In step S28, the duration T1 is reset, and measurement of the duration T1 is started again. Afterwards, the process moves to step S29.

In step S29, the pressing force P1 of the first pressing operation unit 11 is detected, and the process moves to step S30.

In step S30, the time interval TI corresponding to the pressing force P1 detected in step S29 is read from the storage unit 26, and the process moves to step S31. Here, the time interval TI of, for example, 5 levels (10 ms, 30 ms, 50 ms, 100 ms, 300 ms) is set according to the pressing force P1. Also, it is desirable to set the time interval TI so that the larger the pressing force P1 becomes, the shorter the time interval TI becomes.

In step S31, it is determined whether the duration T1 for which measurement was newly started in step S28 exceeds the time interval TI read in step S30. If it is determined that it has been exceeded, it returns to step S26 and sets the current motor output stage N2 to a stage increased by one stage. If it is determined that it is not exceeded, the process proceeds to step S32.

In step S32, it is determined whether the pressure of the first pressure operation unit 11 is continued. If it is determined that the pressure is not continuing, the process proceeds to step S5 and the current motor output stage N2 is maintained. If it is determined that the pressure is continuing, the process returns to step S29. Here, even when the pressing force P1 changes along the way, the process returns to step S29, detects the pressing force P1 of the first pressing operation unit 11, and reads the time interval TI corresponding to the pressing force P1. Accordingly, after it is determined in step S16 that the duration T1 is 300 ms or more, the increase speed of the motor output step N2 can be adjusted simply by changing the pressing force P1.

Next, the flow of motor control processing when it is determined in step S1 that the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed with the pressing force P1 of 30 g or more will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 7, and 8.

If it is determined in step S1 that the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed with the pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the flow advances to step S41.

In step S41, it is determined whether the second pressing operation unit 12 has been pressed with a pressing force P2 of 30 g or more. Specifically, similarly to the first pressure operation unit 11, the output from the pressure sensor 12a of the second pressure operation unit 12 is detected to determine whether the second pressure operation unit 12 has been pressed with a pressure P2 of 30 g or more. Judge. If it is determined that the second pressing operation unit 12 has been pressed with a pressing force P2 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S42. If only an output of less than 30 g of pressing force P2 is detected, it is assumed not to be pressed and the output is ignored to avoid erroneous operation. Afterwards, the process moves to step S5 and the current motor output level is maintained. Here, for example, a resistance film type pressure sensor is used to configure the circuit so that the voltage as output is proportional to the pressing force.

In step S42, measurement of the duration T2 (hereinafter simply referred to as “duration time T2”) during which the second pressing operation unit 12 is pressed is started. And here, the duration T2 refers to the time during which the second pressure operation part 12 is continuously pressed with a pressure P2 of 30 g or more.

In step S43, the current motor output stage N0 is read and the process moves to step S44.

In step S44, it is determined whether the motor output stage N0 read in step 43 is 1 or more. In other words, it is determined whether the motor 3 is driving. If the motor output stage N0 is 0, the motor control processing is not executed because operation of the second pressure operation portion 12 to reduce output is meaningless. In other words, the state of motor output 0 is maintained. If it is determined that the motor output stage N0 is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S45.

In step S45, the motor output step N0 is set to the motor output step N1 reduced by one step, and the process moves to step S46.

In step S46, it is determined whether the motor output step N1 set in step S6 is 1 or more. In other words, it is determined whether the motor 3 is driving. If the motor output step N1 is 0, the process proceeds to step S5 and the motor output remains at 0. If it is determined that the motor output step N1 is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S47.

In step S47, it is determined whether the pressure of the second pressure operation unit 12 is continued. If it is determined that the pressure is not continuing, the process proceeds to step S5 and the current motor output stage N1 is maintained. If it is determined that the pressure is continuing, the process proceeds to step S48.

In step S48, it is determined whether the duration T2 is less than 100 ms. If it is determined that the duration T2 is less than 100 ms, the process returns to step S47. If it is determined that the duration T2 is 100 ms or more, the process proceeds to step S49 shown in FIG. 7.

In step S49, the pressing force P2 of the second pressing operation unit 12 is detected, and the process moves to step S50.

In step S50, the step reduction number L1 of the motor output stage corresponding to the pressing force P2 detected in step S49 is read from the storage unit 26, and the process moves to step S51.

In step S51, it is determined whether the motor output step N0 read in step S43 shown in Fig. 4 minus the step reduction number L1 is 1 or more. If it is less than 1, the process goes to step S52 and the motor output step N1 is set to 0. That is, the driving of the motor 3 is stopped. After that, the process moves to step S5 and the state of motor output 0 is maintained. If it is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S53.

In step S53, the motor output stage obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L1 from the motor output stage N0 read in step S43 is set as a new motor output stage N1. Specifically, for example, when the motor output stage N0 is "15" and the second pressure operation unit 12 is pressed with a pressure P2 of 300 g to 400 g, a preset step decreases corresponding to the range of the pressure P2. Subtract a number (for example, “5”) and set the motor output stage N1 to “10”. After that, the process moves to step S54.

In step S54, it is determined whether or not the pressure of the second pressure operation unit 12 is continued. If it is determined that the pressure is not continuing, the process proceeds to step S5 and the current motor output stage N1 is maintained. If it is determined that the pressure is continuing, the process proceeds to step S55.

In step S55, it is determined whether the duration T2 is less than 300 ms. If it is determined that the duration T2 is less than 300 ms, the process proceeds to step S56.

In step S56, the pressing force P2 of the second pressing operation unit 12 is detected, and the process moves to step S57.

In step S57, the step reduction number L2 of the motor output stage corresponding to the pressing force P2 detected in step S56 is read from the storage unit 26, and the process moves to step S58.

In step S58, it is determined whether the motor output step obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L2 from the motor output step N0 read in step S43 shown in FIG. 4 is smaller than the current motor output step N1. If it is determined that the motor output level is not small, the process returns to step S54. Specifically, for example, if the motor output stage N0 is “15”, the step reduction number L2 is 3, and the current motor output stage N1 is “10”, 15(N0)-3(L2)>10(N1) , and returns to step S54 while maintaining the current motor output stage N1. If it is determined to be small, the process proceeds to step S59. Specifically, for example, when the step reduction number L2 is "7", 15(N0)-7(L2)<10(N1), and the process proceeds to step S59. That is, when the second pressing operation portion 12 is pressed with a stronger force, the process moves to step S59.

In step S59, it is determined whether the motor output step obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L2 from the motor output step N0 read in step S43 is 1 or more. If it is determined to be 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S60.

In step S60, the motor output stage obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L2 from the motor output stage N1 set in step S45 is set as a new motor output stage N1 (for example, "8"), and the process returns to step S54.

If it is determined in step S59 that the motor output step obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L2 from the motor output step N0 read in step S43 is less than 1, the process proceeds to step S61 and the motor output step N1 is set to 0. That is, the driving of the motor 3 is stopped. After that, the process moves to step S5 and the state of motor output 0 is maintained.

Here, while the pressure of the second pressure operation unit 12 continues and it is determined in step S55 that the duration T2 is 300 ms or more, first, in step S53, the step reduction number L1 read in step S50 is equal to step S43. It is subtracted from the motor output stage N0 read from. Next, when the step reduction number L2 read in step S57 exceeds the step reduction number L1 subtracted in step S53, the motor output step N1 is newly set. Afterwards, when the step reduction number L2 newly read in step S18 exceeds the step reduction number L2 subtracted in step S60, the motor output step N1 is newly set. In other words, each time it is pressed with a pressing force P2 that is stronger than the pressing pressure P2 corresponding to the subtracted number of step reductions, the motor output stage N1 is newly set, and when the pressing force P2 becomes smaller, the number of step reductions up to that point is subtracted. The motor output level is maintained.

If it is determined in step S55 that the duration T2 is 300 ms or more, the process proceeds to step S62 shown in FIG. 8.

In step S62, the motor output stage obtained by subtracting the current motor output stage N1 by one step is set as the new motor output stage N2. After that, the process moves to step S63.

In step S63, it is determined whether the motor output step N2 subtracted by one step in step S62 is 1 or more. In other words, it is determined whether the motor 3 is driving. If the motor output step N2 is 0, the process proceeds to step S5 and the state of the motor output 0 is maintained. If it is determined that the motor output step N2 is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S64.

In step S64, the duration T2 during which the second pressing operation unit 12 is pressed is reset, and measurement of the duration T2 is started again. After that, the process moves to step S65.

In step S65, the pressing force P2 of the second pressing operation unit 12 is detected, and the process moves to step S66.

In step S66, the time interval TI corresponding to the pressing force P2 detected in step S25 is read from the storage unit 26, and the process moves to step S67. And, the time interval TI corresponding to the pressing force P2, like the time interval TI corresponding to the pressing force P1, is a time interval TI of, for example, 5 levels (10 ms, 30 ms, 50 ms, 100 ms, 300 ms) depending on the pressing force P2. is set.

In step S67, it is determined whether the duration T2 for which measurement was newly started in step S64 exceeds the time interval TI read in step S66. If it is determined that it has been exceeded, the process returns to step S62 and sets the current motor output stage N2 to the stage subtracted by one stage. If it is determined that it is not exceeded, the process proceeds to step S68.

In step S68, it is determined whether the pressure of the second pressure operation unit 12 is continued. If it is determined that the pressure is not continuing, the process proceeds to step S5 and the current motor output stage N2 is maintained. If it is determined that the pressure is continuing, the process returns to step S65. Here, even when the pressing force P2 changes midway, the process returns to step S65, the pressing force P2 of the second pressing operation unit 12 is detected, and the time interval TI corresponding to the pressing force P2 is read. Accordingly, after it is determined in step S55 that the duration T2 is 300 ms or more, the speed at which the motor output step N2 is reduced by one step can be adjusted simply by changing the pressing force P2.

Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the reset processing of the step value of the motor output stage of the motor control unit 22 will be described. And, the motor control unit 22 is configured to stop the motor output when the tool reaches the ship edge stop position during the motor control process described above. Additionally, the ship edge stopping position information is stored in advance in the storage unit 26 by a known method.

In step S71, it is determined whether the current motor output stage N0 is 1 or more. In other words, it is determined whether the motor 3 is driving. If the motor 3 is not driving, the reset process of the step value of the motor output stage is not performed. If it is determined that the motor output stage N0 is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S72.

In step S72, it is determined whether the tool has reached the vessel edge stopping position. If it has not been reached, the reset process of the motor output stage value is not performed. If it is determined that the tool has reached the vessel edge stopping position, the flow proceeds to step S73.

In step S73, the motor output is stopped, that is, the driving of the motor 3 is stopped. Afterwards, the process moves to step S74.

In step S74, motor output stage N0 is set to 0. In other words, the step value of the motor output step is reset.

In the motor control processing of the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained. The motor control unit 22 performs a motor output step within a predetermined time range (a range of less than 100 ms in the present embodiment) during which the first pressing operation unit 11 or the second pressing operation unit 12 is pressed. Increase by 1 step, or decrease by 1 step. That is, when the first pressure operation unit 11 or the second pressure operation unit 12 is pressed with a pressure force P1 or P2 of 30 g or more, the motor output stage is increased or decreased by one level regardless of the size of the pressure force P1 and P2. I order it. For example, when increasing the motor output stage by two stages, the pressing operation is performed twice within a predetermined time range. This makes it possible to easily fine-tune the motor output stage.

In addition, the motor control unit 22 outputs the motor according to the pressure forces P1 and P2 within the first time range (in the range of 100 ms to less than 300 ms in this embodiment) in which the duration T1 and T2 exceed the predetermined time range. Increase or decrease steps. As a result, the motor output level can be rapidly increased or decreased.

In addition, the motor control unit 22 controls the motor at a time interval TI according to the pressing forces P1 and P2 within a second time range (a range of 300 ms or more in this embodiment) in which the duration T1 and T2 exceed the first time range. Increase the output stage by 1 stage or decrease it by 1 stage. As a result, the motor output stage can be adjusted while pressing the first pressure operation unit 11 or the second pressure operation unit 12.

In addition, when the tool reaches the ship edge stop position, the step value of the motor output stage is reset, so, like the conventional lever-type or dial-type operating member that adjusts the motor output, the operating member is intentionally moved to the motor output stop position. There is no need to revert to

<Other embodiments>

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and various changes are possible without departing from the gist of the invention.

(a) In the above embodiment, the predetermined time range is set to less than 100 ms, the first time range is set to 100 ms or more and less than 300 ms, and the second time range is set to 300 ms or more, but these time ranges are not particularly limited. For example, the predetermined time range may be 50 ms or more and less than 100 ms. In this case, it is necessary to determine whether the duration times T1 and T2 are 50 ms or more in the motor control process.

(b) In the above embodiment, the motor output is divided into 31 stages and controlled. However, the motor output may not be controlled in stages, but, for example, the duty ratio itself may be controlled according to the pressing time and pressing force. In this case, for example, the duty ratio may be increased or decreased by 2% by pressure operation within a predetermined time range, and after the predetermined time range is exceeded, the duty ratio may be increased or decreased by 10%, 25%, or 50% according to the pressing force. . Alternatively, the current value (output) may be controlled to increase or decrease at a predetermined rate by, for example, a pressure operation within a predetermined time range, regardless of the duty ratio.

(c) In the above embodiment, the time interval TI corresponding to the pressing force P1 and the pressing force P2 has the same configuration, but the time interval TI and the time intervals corresponding to the pressing force P1 and the pressing force P2 are set at different time intervals. You can do it. In addition, the time intervals corresponding to the pressing force P1 and the pressing force P2 are not limited to the above embodiment.

(d) In the above embodiment, the motor output stage is increased by one step or decreased by one step at a time interval TI according to the pressure forces P1 and P2 within the second time range, but it is not necessary to have a second time range. For example, after a predetermined time is exceeded, the motor output stage may always be increased or decreased according to the pressing pressure P1 and P2.

(e) In the above embodiment, the motor output stage is increased or decreased according to the pressure forces P1 and P2 within the first time range, but the motor output stage is increased or decreased at time intervals according to the pressure force P1 and P2 within a predetermined time range. You can increase it by 1 level or decrease it by 1 level. In other words, after the predetermined time is exceeded, the motor output stage may be increased by one step or decreased by one step at time intervals according to the pressure forces P1 and P2.

(f) In the above embodiment, the motor output is adjusted with two pressure operation units, the first pressure operation unit 11 and the second pressure operation unit 12, but, for example, an output increase mode in which the motor output increases and the motor output The motor output can be adjusted by installing one pressure control unit that can switch between two modes of decreasing output reduction mode.

(g) The pressure sensors 11a, 12a may not be a single component such as a pressure reducing element, but may output an output according to a small amount of displacement of a member pressed by a spring with a large spring constant.

(h) In the above embodiment, the rotational speed of the spool 2 is detected as the motor output and feedback is controlled. However, the current value supplied to the motor 3 may be controlled so that the winding torque is set to a predetermined value. Alternatively, the yarn winding diameter of the spool 2 may be calculated and the tension may be controlled to a predetermined value.

(i) In the above embodiment, the control method for rotating the motor 3 according to the electric signals output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a is controlled at a predetermined spool rotation speed or at a predetermined torque. It can be controlled by a value or selected arbitrarily from one of two options.

(j) The first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 of the above embodiment may protrude from the counter case 5.

(k) The first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 of the above embodiment may be disposed on the upper surface or side surface of the reel body 1. Moreover, the surface on which the first and second pressure operation parts 11 and 12 are arranged may be inclined on one side with respect to the other, or may be arranged on a curved surface. These are preferably arranged front and rear, but may be arranged left and right or obliquely in accordance with the movement of the thumb.

(l) The first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 of the above embodiment may be configured to be operable using a single swing operation tool.

(m) In the above embodiment, when dividing the range of the lower limit and upper limit of the pressure output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a into arbitrary stages, the range does not need to be divided equally. For example, when the pressing force is small, that is, the range of pressing force corresponding to a low increase or decrease number of motor output stages may be made larger than the range of a high stage.

(n) In the above embodiment, the lower limit and upper limit of the pressure detected by the pressure sensors 11a and 12a (for example, the lower limit is 30 grams and the upper limit is 2 kilograms) are set in advance, but the lower limit and upper limit, that is, the pressure The angler may arbitrarily set the pressure threshold. At this time, when the motor 3 is in a stopped state and the first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 are operated with a pressure force of a predetermined or higher force, the mode may be switched to a pressure force setting mode in which the threshold value of the pressure force is set.

(o) In the above embodiment, the presence or absence of operation of the second pressure operation unit 12 is determined following the presence or absence of operation of the first pressure operation unit 11, but both of the first and second pressure operation units 11 and 12 The outputs from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a may be compared and the one with the larger output, that is, the one with the larger pressing force, may be judged to be an effective pressing operation.
