Description

Electronic buoy

The present invention relates to an electronic buoy, especially when using a distance movement sensor during fishing to sense an acceleration or position change of an electronic buoy caused by a fish, and generating and transmitting a distance movement sensing signal to the controller, The light-emitting unit is driven to emit light, and further transmitted to the wireless transmitting unit, and the handheld device is notified at the same time, or the hand-held device generates vibration and sound to remind the user to receive the light, thereby achieving the purpose of notification, which can not only greatly reduce mental fatigue, but also Improve the success rate and leisure fun of fishing.

Generally, the conventional buoy is a hollow plastic tube which can be connected with the buoy body to form a closed hollow cavity, so that the buoy has a certain buoyancy in the water. When the buoy is tied to the fishing line with the hook and floats on the surface of the water, the fish caught by the hook will pull the fishing line and cause the whole buoy to violently jump up and down, so the fisherman can be notified to lift or contract. However, such buoys do not have nighttime recognition functions. Therefore, in dimly lit or nighttime, it is not easy to detect whether or not the fish is in the air, or it is easy to miss the opportunity to ascend.

In the conventional technology, in order to solve the problem that the buoy cannot function normally at night, the manufacturer has added a battery and a light number to the buoy to provide a constant light function, so that the fisherman can clearly see the light at night and know whether or not The Chinese fish is immediately smashed, but the fisherman must gaze at the light on the buoy to see if the lights on the buoys are fluctuating up and down, otherwise the important fish message will still be missed.

However, the disadvantage of the conventional technology is that it is easy to cause visual fatigue, affecting the whole spirit and physical strength, and there is no function of night recognition, fish detection and hook reminder. In addition, the constant-light buoy device consumes a lot of electricity and affects the use of the battery. Life expectancy, resulting in poor performance of such buoys, market acceptance is limited.

Therefore, there is a need for a groundbreaking electronic buoy that utilizes a distance moving sensor to sense an acceleration or positional change of an electronic buoy due to a fish, and generates and transmits a distance moving sensing signal to the controller to drive the light. The unit emits light, and further transmits to the wireless transmitting unit, and notifies the handheld device, or generates vibration and sound by the handheld device, and reminds the user to receive the sputum, thereby achieving the purpose of notification, which not only greatly reduces mental fatigue, but also improves fishing. The chances of success and leisure fun can be solved by solving the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic buoy comprising a casing, a lighting unit, a wire and a circuit unit, which can be used for convenient observation of fish in fishing, wherein the electronic buoy floats on the water surface and is connected to the fishing line and the fishing line. One end is connected to the fishing rod, and the other end is connected to the fishing hook. Therefore, when the fishing hook is placed in the water and hooked to the target, the electronic buoy is pulled and moved, especially the up and down position.

The housing is watertight and includes an upper body and a lower body connected to each other, and the light emitting unit is disposed on the upper body and includes at least one light emitting diode, and the wire is received in the housing and electrically connected to the light emitting unit .

Further, the circuit unit is housed in the housing and connected to the light emitting unit via a wire for controlling the light emission of the light emitting unit. Specifically, the circuit unit includes a sense of distance movement a detector, a wireless transmitting unit, a controller, a battery, and a circuit board, wherein the distance moving sensor, the wireless transmitting unit, the controller, and the battery are located at 45, and the distance moving sensor and the wireless transmitting unit are electrically connected to the controller And powered by a battery to operate from a distance sensor, a wireless transmitter unit, and a controller.

The distance motion sensor can sense the acceleration or position change of the electronic buoy, thereby generating and transmitting the distance movement sensing signal to the wireless transmitting unit, and further transmitting to the controller. Then, the controller emits light according to the distance moving sensor to drive the light emitting unit, and the distance moving sensing signal can be notified to the handheld device via the wireless transmitting unit, thereby specifically achieving the purpose of notification. In addition, the handheld device can also generate vibration or sound according to the distance moving the sensing signal, further enhancing the notification function.

Therefore, during the long waiting period of fishing, anglers can use the handheld device to communicate, chat, listen to music, watch movies, and pursue dramas. At the same time, they can use the electronic buoy of this creation to assist in observing the Chinese fish at any time. Losing opportunities and increasing mental fatigue can also reduce mental fatigue, especially when the light is dim or even at night.
