Description

KEYLESS WINTER FISHING ROD WITH MAGNETIC BALANCING AND LIGHT AND SOUND SIGNALING MODULE

The invention relates to the field of fishing, in particular for sports and recreational fishing from ice.

A huge number of designs of winter fishing rods is known. In most cases, they can be divided into three main categories according to the method of tracking fish bite:

1. winter fishing rods, where a drowned float is used as an indicator of bite. The float in this case also serves to compensate for the weight of the mormyshka or loaded bait hook;

2. nodded winter fishing rods, where the indicator of the bite and the compensator for the weight of the bait is the so-called nod (gatehouse) made of flexible elastic material. A nod also allows you to control ("play") the bait, transmitting vibrations from the hand of the fisherman;

3. winter guard rods with a longitudinal or lateral arrangement of the guardhouse with mechanical compensation of the weight of the bait due to a ballast weight or a spring mechanism. In some designs, an electronic module for sound and / or light bite alarm is used as a ballast weight.

I

Known fishing rod for fishing on mormyshka, including a housing with a source and generator of current pulses, an electromagnet with a fixed coil with a core and a movable, made of a permanent magnet parts that are interconnected with a gap, articulated with a pole with a movable part of the electromagnet and the device for skipping the scaffolds at the ends and regulators of the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations of the pole (SU 1822698, 06.23.1993).

The proposed technical solution is aimed at eliminating a number of disadvantages. Firstly, all nods without exception have a narrow range of work according to load weights, i.e. when moving to a load of a different weight, you must use a different nod (in most cases, a different fishing rod). Secondly, guard rods with mechanical compensation, in turn, have bulky and inconvenient to configure mechanisms. The reliability of the used electronic modules, taking into account the operating conditions, is extremely low. The technical problem to which the proposed invention is directed is to expand the arsenal of technical means and create a compact, highly reliable winter fishing rod, the constructive solutions of which eliminate the above disadvantages and provide improved operational characteristics.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of this invention is to ensure compactness and ease of use while maintaining the simplicity of the design and a significant increase in reliability, due to the exclusion of flexible nodding, since the fishing rod is movable and is itself a mechanical indicator of the bite, and the presence of magnetic compensation for bait weight to provide automatic adjustment of the necessary sensitivity, as well as an electronic module integrated into the rotary balancer, providing a signal ization bite.

The specified technical result is achieved in a winterless fishing rod containing a handle with a coil and a balancing block made with a magnet and conductive guides, including conductive bushings of sliding bearings, between which there is a rotary balancer with an additional magnet, with the magnets facing each other with the same poles and are located relative to each other at a distance of the repulsive magnetic forces to ensure the rotation of the balancer with the rod installed in it, being schimsya bite indicator.

An electric source is integrated in the handle.

The rod is hollow for installing an optical fiber for transmitting a light signal from the LED to the diffuser at the end of the rod and is rigidly fixed in the balance beam using an adapter.

Dielectric bracket, balancer and handle housing made of

"

high-density polystyrene type PS-200. Industrial ABS plastic can also be used as a material for the manufacture of these structural elements.

Conductive guides (two metal plates) are simultaneously conductors of electric current and parts of the supporting structure with sliding bearings located in them and conductive bushings to them; movable rotating balancer with integrated electronics. For the manufacture of conductive guides and other fishing rod elements, duralumin is used, which has high strength and conductive properties along with ease and adaptability in processing.

The balancer contains a tilt sensor, a light and sound alarm module and an electronic unit, which includes a buzzer and an LED, while the tilt sensor housing is rotatable up to 25 degrees to preset the tilt angle of the specified sensor, thereby achieving maximum sensitivity.

The balancer is located on the axis of the mount, made with the possibility of providing free angular movement of the rod with a change in the angle of inclination up to 35 degrees. The limitation of the angle ensures that the balancer is in the zone of stable states and prevents it from tipping over.

I

The limitation is achieved through the use of additional stops located on the balancer.

The axis of fastening (rotation) of the balancer, plain bearings and stops are made of stainless steel. The hollow rod is made of carbon fiber (carbon fiber).

Electric energy is transferred to the balancer through the movable axial connection of the balancer block.

Contact sleeves are installed in the dielectric bracket, and the conductive rails are separated by a dielectric insulator.

This constructive implementation of the fishing rod provides increased operational characteristics while maintaining the reliability of the fishing rod and the simplicity of its design due to the presence of a balancing block with a rotary (rotating) balancer on the mounting axis to ensure free angular movement of the rod, as well as the location and orientation of the magnets, which are ensured by forces magnetic interaction compensation of the weight of the movable rod and bait so that the point of stable equilibrium is within the angle The new movement of the rod, regardless of the applied load. The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 and 2 depict views of the balancing block of the fishing rod in the context with a description of the layout of the main structural elements; in FIG. 3 - general view of the fishing rod assembly; in FIG. 4 - fishing rod with integrated optical fiber and end diffuser; in FIG. 5 is a diagram of the operation of the balancing block; in FIG. 6 - section of the handle body of the fishing rod. Additional materials describe the main applied electrical components and the electrical circuit of the device.

The claimed technical solution consists in the fact that due to the geometry of the relative position of the axis of rotation, the attachment point of the rod, the balancer's suspension magnets, it was possible to achieve a stable self-regulating equilibrium position of the movable rod with simultaneous high sensitivity to external influences (biting) in a wide range of bait weights. The proposed technical solution, unlike other designs of beckless fishing rods, allows the fisherman to carry out controlled oscillations of the rod, i.e. "Play" the bait.

The principle of operation of the device is to use the properties of the interaction of magnets (repelling identical poles, attracting different poles), changing the intensity of this interaction when changing the distance between the magnets, and also using the properties of the optical fiber to transmit a light signal.

The design and layout of the main elements of the fishing rod and the main structural element, the balancing block, are shown in FIG. 1 and 2.

For ease of perception, these figures ¹ do not display electrical wires connecting the individual structural elements. The bracket 1 of the balancing block 25 is at the same time the supporting structure for installing the contact bushings 2, the magnet 3 and the connector housing 4 and the dielectric insulator separating the conductive rails 18. An electrical connector 5 is installed in the connector housing, which, when connecting the fishing rod handle housing 20 to the balancing block 25 provides reliable tight electric connection. Conductive guides (plates) 18 are part of the supporting structure, conductors of electric current and include conductive bushings of sliding bearings 19. An additional (second) magnet 7 is mounted in the rotary (rotating) balancer 6 so that a repulsive force arises between it and the magnet 3 installed in the bracket 1. The rod 14 with the optical fiber 15 integrated into it is rigidly fixed in balance beam 6 with adapter 17. When turning the balance beam 6, the rod changes its position. The electronic unit 12, which includes a buzzer and an LED, is also located inside the rotary balancer 6. The tilt sensor 9 is mounted in the housing 8, which can be rotated to preset the angle of inclination of the sensor 9.

The principle and scheme of operation is illustrated in FIG. 4, which depicts the main movements, the forces of interaction and the functioning of key structural elements. At the initial moment, in the absence of a load on the rod 14 (weights, mormyshka, bait, etc. are absent), the weight of the rod 14 is insignificant and due to the repulsion of closely spaced identical poles of magnets 3, 7, the balancer 6 rotates so that the rod 14 rises at a maximum angle limited by stops. At the moment when there is an additional load in the form of mormyshka with bait, the rod 14 is lowered and set at the equilibrium point. With an increase in the weight of the load within a few grams, the location of the equilibrium point does not change significantly, since the forces of magnetic interaction are inversely quadratic with the change in distance, and the geometry of the structure is such that this distance changes significantly with a change in the angle of the rod 14. Load when biting fish significantly exceeds the values of several grams and due to this the additional load and its random change during bite lead to oscillations of the movable rod 14, which gives POSSIBILITY fisherman visually unmistakably bite. In most cases, when biting, a moment occurs when the weight of the mormyshka / bait is fully compensated. In this case, the rod 14 rises to the maximum angle in the same way as at the initial moment. In this case, the tilt sensor is rotated by an angle sufficient to enable it. When a current source is connected, the electric circuit is closed and an alarm is triggered. Due to the design capabilities, the sensor housing 8 can be rotated so that the sensor is triggered at angles substantially less than the maximum. In this case, the sensitivity of the alarm increases significantly. Light and sound alarms are mainly used in low light conditions or when several fishing rods are used at the same time, therefore, it is possible to turn it off forcibly. In this case, the bite is determined visually by the oscillations of the movable rod. When fish is caught, there is a sharp significant (up to several kilograms) load on the rod. At the same time, the rod lowers almost instantly to the lowest point, and the rear edge of the balancer made at an angle reliably rests ^ in front, the front edge of the arm of the balancing block made with the same angle. This design solution, along with the use of a flexible carbon fiber rod, can withstand significant weight loads and uniform momentary jerks of fish.

The assembly of the balancing block 25 is carried out in the following order:

1. In the dielectric bracket 1, the contact sleeves 2, the magnet 3 and the connector housing 4 are sequentially installed and fixed with epoxy adhesive. Magnet 3 is set by the "north" pole inward.

2. Conductors are soldered to the contact bushings 2 and passed through the mounting holes into the connector housing 4. The conductors are mounted in connector 5, which is then installed in the housing.

3. In the dielectric casing of the rotary balancer 6, the magnet 7 is installed with the "north" pole inward.

4. In the balancer 6 is installed the housing of the tilt sensor 8 and the sensor 9, which is fixed and closed with a protective cap 10.

5. Next, the right and left axes 11 with pre-soldered electrical conductors are installed in the balancer 6, the conductors are passed through the mounting hole. Also, the right and left stops are installed in the balancer.

6. In the balancer 6, the preassembled electronic unit 12 is hermetically mounted in the mounting hole. The block 12 is installed so that the LED 13 is located at the same level with the axis of the rod 14. 7. Then, in the balancer 6, the rod 14 is installed and fixed with epoxy adhesive with the optical fiber 15 pre-mounted in it, the end diffuser 16 and the adapter 17.

8. Using a mechanical press in the conductive guides 18 are installed bushings 19 of the bearings.

9. After this, the entire structure of the balancing block 25 is assembled: the balancer 6 is installed in the guides 18 and is connected to the bracket 1 by means of screws.

10. Assembly of the fishing rod consists in the fact that the balancing block 25 is attached to the pre-assembled housing of the handle of the fishing rod 20 using a detachable connection.

Connecting a DC voltage source located in the handle of the fishing rod to the electronic unit 12 located in the balancer 6 is through an axial connection, conductive guides 18, contact sleeves 2 and an electrical connector. In FIG. 6 shows the main parts of the fishing rod handle and their layout: 21- battery charging board, with charging and indication function, 22- lithium-polymer battery, 23 on and off buttons, 24- connecting bracket with socket for an electrical connector.

The electronic module includes: LED, current limiting resistor, 3 V buzzer and tilt sensor. The sensor is working. as a switch, the principle of its operation is closing and opening of contacts when the angle of inclination changes. The power source and power button are located outside the electronic module. Depending on the options, the circuit diagram can be changed so that when it is turned on, the LED is always on, and the buzzer only works after the sensor is tilted to a certain angle.

In a simplified version, when the fishing rod is not equipped with an electronic unit, and only the magnetic balancing function of the movable sleeveless rod is used, the balancing unit is not a separate structural element, but is part of the overall structure and may be a continuation of the fishing rod handle. The balancer block in this case includes only a part of the above components, namely, guides, balancer, bushings and axes of rotation, as well as magnets mounted in the same way, as in the fully functional version. The design of the rod handle in this case is also significantly simplified and does not include electrical components, the rod does not contain optical fiber and end diffuser. The principle of the fishing rod in terms of balancing and mechanical indication of the bite in this case is exactly the same as described above.
