Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a fishing reel capable of recognizing a winding speed of a fishing line to improve fishing results.

In general, when fishing for a deep fish layer such as boat fishing, an electric reel for fishing (hereinafter referred to as “electric reel”) is widely used.
As is well known in the art, this electric reel uses a spool drive motor (hereinafter referred to as “spool motor”) to rotate the spool to wind up the fishing line. Today, the spool is operated by the spool motor. In addition, a manual combination type electric reel that enables winding of a fishing line by operating a handle attached to the reel body is generally used.

Conventionally, this type of electric reel has a yarn length measuring device for measuring the amount of fishing line fed and wound based on the number of rotations of a spool or the like in order to improve the fishing results by accurately taking shelves. The measurement value of such a yarn length measuring device is displayed on a display provided on the reel body.
Further, conventionally, in this type of electric reel, the fishing line feeding speed is calculated based on the measurement value of the line length measuring device as disclosed in Patent Document 1, and this feeding speed is displayed on an indicator or the like using an LED or the like. As shown in Patent Document 2, a motor output adjuster that continuously adjusts the motor output of the spool motor as disclosed in Patent Document 2 is mounted on the reel body so that it can be displaced, and an indicator is provided on the top of the reel body. An electric reel is known in which the indicator displays the motor output state of the motor output adjusting body as a guideline on the display, and the bar is displayed. According to the electric reel of the cited reference 1, backlash is monitored by monitoring the feeding speed of the fishing line. In addition, according to the electric reel of Patent Document 2, it is possible to adjust the winding speed of the fishing line delicately according to the situation of the fishing ground.
JP 58-152431 A JP 2000-23603 A

However, during actual fishing, the load on the fishing line fluctuates due to the size, type, number, and pulling conditions of the fish, and the influence of the tidal current and wave speed.
And when the load fluctuates in this way, even if the motor output of the spool motor is the same, the fishing line winding speed will change, and the actual winding speed will differ from the set winding speed. Since the conventional reels, such as the ones in literatures 1 and 2, cannot grasp the actual winding speed of the fishing line, the motor output adjustment (shifting operation) suitable for the actual situation cannot be performed, and it is cut off and cut off. There was a risk that the fish would be broken.

Similarly, in the case of manual fishing reels and manually operated electric reels, the actual winding speed cannot be grasped when the fishing line is wound by the handle.
The present invention has been devised in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel capable of recognizing an actual winding speed of a fishing line and improving fishing results.

In order to achieve such an object, a fishing reel according to claim 1 includes a spool rotatably supported between the side plates of the reel body, and a fishing line feed amount and winding based on the rotation speed and rotation direction of the spool. A line length measuring device for measuring the amount, a winding speed detecting means for detecting the winding speed of the fishing line wound around the spool, and a measured value and a winding speed of the thread length measuring apparatus mounted on the reel body. A display that can display the detection value of the detection means, and a switch that is mounted on the reel body and can alternately switch the display mode of the display between a yarn length measurement display mode and a winding speed display mode, In the length measurement display mode, the indicator displays only the measurement value of the yarn length measurement device among the measurement value of the yarn length measurement device and the detection value of the winding speed detection means, and the winding speed display mode at a, the indicator, before And displaying both the detected value of the measurement values and the winding speed detecting means of the yarn length measuring device.

According to the invention of claim 1, the angler is the winding speed display mode Te at, for different winding speed by changing conditions during actual fishing recognizable through Table示器, winding speed of the in line with the situation adjustment is possible, Mikire, Ru can capture the easy fish to mouth out without a rose.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1 to 8 show an embodiment in which the invention according to claim 1 is applied to an electric reel of manual combination type. In FIG. 1, 1 is a frame of a reel body 3, and 5 and 7 are frames of the frame 1. The spool shaft is supported by the support portion between the side plates 5 and 7 with the left and right side plates, and the spool 9 is rotatably supported by the spool shaft.

The spool 9 is rotated by driving the spool motor (reference numeral 11 in FIG. 2) or winding the handle 13 so that the fishing line is wound. The spool motor 11 is attached to the frame 1 in front of the spool 9. It is housed in an integrally molded motor case.
A lever-shaped motor output adjuster (hereinafter referred to as “power lever”) that adjusts the motor output of the spool motor 11 is provided at the upper front of the side plate 7 on the handle side in the same manner as the electric reel disclosed in Patent Document 2. 15 is attached so as to be rotatable in the same direction as the handle 13, and by operating the power lever 15, the microcomputer mounted in the control box 17 drives the motor output of the spool motor 11 through the motor drive circuit. The winding speed of the spool 9 is adjusted by increasing / decreasing from the stop state to the high output value.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a clutch lever 19 for operating a clutch mechanism mounted in the side plate 7 is attached between the side plates 5 and 7 behind the spool 9 so as to be pressed downward. The pressing mechanism 19 switches the clutch mechanism from clutch ON to clutch OFF.
When the handle 13 is rotated in the winding direction in this clutch OFF state, the clutch mechanism is configured to return to the clutch ON via a well-known return mechanism (not shown), and the clutch ON / OFF of this clutch mechanism is configured. Thus, the spool 9 is switched between a fishing line winding state and a fishing line feeding state so that the power of the spool motor 11 and the handle 13 to the spool 9 is transmitted / cut off.

On the other hand, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 21 denotes a rotation detecting means for detecting the number of rotations of the spool 9 and its rotating direction. The rotation detecting means 21 includes a pair of reed switches 23 mounted on the frame 1 and a spool facing the pair. The reed switch 23 is connected to a CPU of a microcomputer.
Thus, the CPU is the same as the fishing reel yarn length measurement program disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-103567 in the “thread length measurement display mode” and “winding speed display mode” which will be described later. Then, the forward / reverse determination signal of the spool 9 output from the reed switch 23 is taken in to determine whether the fishing line is fed out or taken up, and the rotation pulse signal of the spool 9 taken in from the reed switch 23 is counted. Based on the counted value, the yarn length calculation formula stored in the ROM of the microcomputer is calculated and executed.

Then, the CPU displays the calculation result (yarn length measurement value) on the display 29 provided on the operation panel 27 of the control box 17 via the display drive circuit. The display 29 is a dot matrix type color TFT. It consists of a liquid crystal display and a segment type liquid crystal display.
FIG. 3 shows one display form of the display 29 in the “yarn length measurement display mode”. The upper color display part 31 and the shelf color display part 33 in the center of the display 29 respectively have the water depth of the device from the water surface. The distance of the device from the shelf is displayed in parallel in two upper and lower stages.

  Here, the setting of the shelf position will be described. As described above, the CPU measures the yarn length measurement value based on the rotation pulse signal from the reed switch 23 and displays it on the upper color display unit 31 as shown in FIG. As shown above, a reset switch 35 and a shelf memo switch 37 are mounted on the operation panel 27 on the handle side adjacent to the display 29, and a mode switch (display changeover switch) is provided on the operation panel 27 on the opposite handle side. 39 and a winding speed setting switch 41 are mounted on the top and bottom adjacent to the display 29, and these are connected to the microcomputer.

When the fisherman operates the reset switch 35 at the place where the fishing line is fed from the tip to the water surface at the start of actual fishing, the display value of the upper color display unit 31 is reset to “0.0”. ing.
Thereafter, when the angler unwinds the fishing line, the line length measurement value calculated and measured by the CPU is displayed on the upper color display unit 31, and the angler takes the shelf memo when the line is unrolled, for example, 95.5m. When the switch 37 is operated, “0.0” is displayed on the shelf color display portion 33 and the shelf position is set. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. The amount of feed (water depth) from the water surface is displayed on the shelf color display unit 31 and the upper color display unit 33, respectively.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a lever output display unit 43 by the power lever 15 is provided on the upper right side in the indicator 29.
That is, as described above, the electric reel 44 according to the present embodiment enables a delicate fishing line winding operation. Therefore, the motor output is controlled to increase / decrease by the rotation operation of the power lever 15 in the front / rear direction. The winding speed is adjusted, and the motor output is duty-controlled from the motor stop state to the high output value by the rotation operation of the power lever 15 in the front-rear direction.

  The motor output is divided into 25 stages as an example in the range from the motor stop state to the high output value, and the lever output display is made according to the adjustment amount of the motor output by the power lever 15 (the operation amount of the power lever 15). When the motor output adjustment amount is displayed in numerical order in the order of “0”, “1”, “2”..., “24” in the unit 43, and the motor output reaches the maximum high output value in the adjustment range, As shown in FIG. 3, the characters “HI” are displayed on the lever output display unit 43.

Therefore, the angler can recognize the current motor output status by the power lever 15 based on such display.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to improve the holding property of the entire reel, the electric reel 44 is provided with a projecting portion 45 projecting downward on the lower side of the side plate 5 on the side opposite to the handle.
A receptacle (power supply connection portion) 49 for connecting the power supply cord 47 is attached to the bottom of the protruding portion 45, and the connector 51 of the power supply cord 47 is connected to the receptacle 49, so that the hook clip 53 of the power supply cord 47 is connected. , 55 are connected to a battery (external power source) (not shown), the spool motor 11 can be driven, and the CPU of the microcomputer is set to enter the “yarn length measurement display mode” in this initial energization state. .

In FIG. 2, 57 is a well-known fastener that is screwed so as to be rotatable relative to a threaded portion engraved on the outer periphery of the connector 51 and movable in the longitudinal direction. The fastener 57 is an outer periphery of the receptacle 49. The connector 51 connected to the receptacle 49 is prevented from falling off by being screwed into a threaded portion provided in the connector.
Next, the “winding speed display mode” will be described. As described above, the CPU of the microcomputer is set to the “yarn length measurement display mode” in the initial energized state, but as shown in FIG. By operating a mode switch 39 mounted on the panel 27, the “thread length measurement display mode” and the “winding speed display mode” are alternately switched.

As described above, the CPU performs the yarn length measurement based on the rotation pulse signal of the spool 9 fetched from the reed switch 23 in both modes. The CPU further measures the measured yarn length measurement value and the microcomputer. The winding speed is calculated from the winding amount per unit time of the fishing line based on the time value of the timer built in the.
FIG. 5 shows an example of the display form of the indicator 29 in the “winding speed display mode”, and according to switching between the “thread length measurement display mode” and the “winding speed display mode” by operating the mode switch 39. The indicator 29 switches between the yarn length measurement display form of FIG. 3 and the winding speed display form of FIG.

Thus, in the “winding speed display mode” of FIG. 5, the CPU uses the center of the indicator 29 as the fishing line winding speed display section 59 via the display drive circuit, and takes up the winding speed display section 59. Displays the calculated winding speed per second (m / sec) of the fishing line, displays the adjustment amount of the motor output on the lever output display 43, and further measures the thread length on the upper left side in the display 29. As the display unit 61, the yarn length measurement display unit 61 displays the depth of the device from the water surface and the distance from the shelf in a row in two rows.
Thus, in the present embodiment, in the “line length measurement display mode”, as shown in FIG. 3, the indicator 29 displays the line length measurement value calculated and measured by the line length measurement program and the unit time of the line. Of the detected value of the winding speed calculated and detected from the winding amount per hit, only the yarn length measurement value is displayed. In the “winding speed display mode”, as shown in FIG. Both the yarn length measurement value and the detection value of the winding speed are displayed.

As the display method of the winding speed display section 59, the winding speed (m / min) per minute may be displayed as shown in FIG. 6 instead of the display method of FIG. A display changeover switch (not shown) may be separately provided on the operation panel 27 so that the display changeover switch can be switched alternately between the display method of FIG. 5 and the display method of FIG.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a winding speed setting switch 41 is provided on the operation panel 27. The winding speed setting switch 41 is set to an actual measured value of the winding speed as shown in FIGS. Instead, the fishing line winding speed is displayed as an index, and the angler can operate the power lever 15 at a winding speed of 3 m / sec in the “line length measurement display mode” or “winding speed display mode”. When the fisherman operates the winding speed setting switch 41 while winding the fishing line, the winding speed at that time, that is, the winding speed of 3 m / sec, as shown in FIG. An index “100” recognized as a value is arbitrarily set.

Therefore, after that, the CPU obtains an index from the actually measured value of the calculated winding speed. As shown in FIG. 7, the winding speed of 1.5 m / sec becomes the index “50” with respect to the index “100”. Although not shown, the winding speed of 4.5 m / sec is an index “150”, and the index increases or decreases as the winding speed increases or decreases.
When the index is set in this way, the display form of FIG. 5 is maintained in the “yarn length measurement display mode”, but when the mode switch 39 is operated to switch to the “winding speed display mode”, or When the index is set in this manner in the “winding speed display mode”, as shown in FIG. 8, in addition to the display of the lever output display unit 43 and the yarn length measurement display unit 61, the CPU The center is the fishing line winding speed index display section 63. The winding speed index display section 63 displays the index of the measured value for the index "100" and the bar display section provided on the right side of the display 29. 65, the index of the actually measured value with respect to the index “100” is displayed as a bar.

In addition, when an index is arbitrarily set as described above and a new winding speed setting switch 41 is operated, the new index is updated and set and displayed. In the display form of FIG. For example, when the winding speed setting switch 41 and the reset switch 35 are operated at the same time, the display form of FIG. 8 is canceled and the display mode of the actual measurement value shown in FIG. 5 is entered.
Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, when the electric reel 44 is connected to the battery via the power supply cord 47, the CPU of the microcomputer enters the “yarn length measurement display mode” in this initial energization state. As the fishing line is unwound during actual fishing and when the fishing line is wound by operating the handle 13 and the power lever 15, the unwinding amount and the winding amount are measured. As shown in FIG. When the motor output adjustment amount is sequentially displayed on the lever output display unit 43 and the motor output reaches the maximum value in the adjustment range, the lever output is displayed as shown in FIG. The characters “HI” are displayed on the display unit 43.

Of course, when the fishing line is wound up by operating the handle 13, the motor is in a stopped state, so the display on the lever output display section 43 is "0".
In this "line length measurement display mode", the CPU calculates the winding speed from the winding amount per unit time of the fishing line based on the line length measurement value and the timer time value.
As described above, the measurement and calculation of the line length measurement value and the fishing line winding speed are also performed in the “winding speed display mode”.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU switches alternately between the “yarn length measurement display mode” and the “winding speed display mode” by operating the mode switch 39.
Thus, when the mode is switched to the “winding speed display mode”, as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU uses the center of the indicator 29 as the fishing line winding speed display section 59 to display the winding speed display section 59. The calculated winding speed per second (m / sec) of the fishing line is displayed, the adjustment amount of the motor output is displayed on the lever output display unit 43, and the water length measurement display unit 61 in the indicator 29 is further displayed on the water surface. The water depth of the device from the top and the distance of the device from the shelf are displayed in small rows in parallel at the top and bottom.

  In addition, in the “line length measurement display mode” or “winding speed display mode”, for example, when the fisher is winding the fishing line at the winding speed of 3 m / sec by operating the power lever 15, When the speed setting switch 41 is operated, the winding speed at that time, that is, the winding speed of 3 m / sec, is arbitrarily set as an index “100” as shown in FIG. An index for the index “100” is obtained from the actually measured value.

  When the index is set in this way, the display form of FIG. 5 is maintained in the “yarn length measurement display mode”, but when the mode switch 39 is operated to switch to the “winding speed display mode”, or When the index is set in this manner in the “winding speed display mode”, as shown in FIG. 8, in addition to the display of the lever output display unit 43 and the yarn length measurement display unit 61, the CPU The center is the fishing line winding speed index display section 63. The winding speed index display section 63 displays the index of the measured value for the index "100" and the bar display section provided on the right side of the display 29. 65, the index of the actually measured value with respect to the index “100” is displayed as a bar.

In addition, when an index is arbitrarily set as described above and the winding speed setting switch 41 is newly operated, the new index is updated and set and displayed. Further, the winding speed setting switch 41 is displayed in the display form of FIG. 8 and the reset switch 35 are simultaneously operated, the display form of FIG. 8 is canceled and the actual value display form shown in FIG. 5 is entered.
As described above, the present embodiment is configured to detect the winding speed that varies depending on the change in the actual fishing situation and display it on the display 29, so that the angler can adjust the winding speed in accordance with the actual fishing through the display 29. It became possible to adjust, and it was possible to take in fish that were easily cut off or cut out without breaking up.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the motor output state corresponding to the adjustment amount of the power lever 15 is displayed on the indicator 29 together with the winding speed, so that the adjustment position of the power lever 15 and the actual winding speed change. It is possible to check the status and grasp the situation of the winding speed change due to the actual load fluctuation. As a result, it is effective to adjust the motor output and adjust the drag suitable for the load during actual fishing. Has the advantage of being able to

In addition, the display by the lever output display unit 43 may not be always displayed together with the winding speed display, but may be displayed by a separate display mode or switch operation.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, although the arbitrarily set the exponent of the exponential display "100", factory pre-shipment, and set the maximum winding speed that can hardly an index for this maximum winding speed " In this case, the angler can recognize the actual winding speed with respect to the maximum winding speed index “100” during actual fishing.

  Thus, also by these embodiments, the intended purpose can be achieved as in the embodiment of FIG. 1 described above.
