Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel equipped with a yarn length measuring device, and more particularly, to an improvement of a fishing reel capable of displaying a yarn length display and a time for refilling a comase. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, as a tendency of fishing in Thailand, flatfish, grunt, horse mackerel, etc., an increasing number of anglers use a Komase balance mechanism.

However, conventionally, in the sea fishing using the Komase balance mechanism, it is unclear how much the Komase (catching food) in the Komase balance basket at the shelf position decreases. The reality is that it depends on the intuition of the angler.

[0004] Therefore, when I tried to pull up the Komase balance mechanism by relying on my intuition, there were no Komases in the Komase basket, there was still a considerable amount of Komases, and the timing of refilling Komases varied. I couldn't refill efficiently, and I was having trouble with my fishing results.

Therefore, the present applicant has previously filed Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-25.
In No. 651 (Actual Kaihei 2-118209), a timer circuit that counts the standby time of Komase balance mounting in water is built into the reel unit, and this is operated by a manual switch operation to operate underwater of Comass balance mounting. We proposed a fishing reel that allows a fisherman to judge the timing of refilling a comase by displaying the waiting time at the timer display.

[0006]

However, in the fishing reel described above, there is a risk that the fisherman may forget to operate the switch for operating the timer circuit or may make an erroneous operation, and the fisherman operates the switch. Since the timer circuit does not operate unless the switch is operated, it is troublesome to operate the switch each time, and if the attention of the fisherman is concentrated on the switch operation, the fishing operation may be disturbed.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and when the above-mentioned timer means is incorporated in a fishing reel, the troubles caused by forgetting to press the operating switch or erroneous operation can be solved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fishing reel which has improved practical fishing operability.

[0008]

In order to achieve such an object, a fishing reel according to the present invention has a length for feeding and winding a fishing line wound around a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body. A yarn length measuring device for measuring, a display device for displaying a yarn length value measured by the yarn length measuring device, a timer device for measuring a waiting time of a tackle in water, and a display device for displaying a time content of the timer device. And a storage means for storing the feeding value of the fishing line for activating the timer means and the measuring length of the fishing line from the yarn length measuring device and the feeding value stored in the storing means are compared, and the measuring line at the time of feeding the fishing line is compared. And a control means for activating the timer means when the long value coincides with the payout value of the storage means.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the control means compares the measured yarn length value from the yarn length measuring device with the feeding value stored in the storage means,
When the measured yarn length value matches the feeding value, the control means activates the timer means.

The time content of the activated timer means is displayed on the display means.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a reel body, 3 is a spool axially attached to the reel body 1, and the spool 3 is a well-known one. It is connected to the winding handle 5 via the clutch mechanism and the drag mechanism. A fishing line 7 is wound around the spool 3, and the winding end side of the fishing line 7 is drawn out of the reel unit 1 through a level winder mechanism 9. Then, as in the conventional case, the OFF → ON operation of the clutch mechanism is performed by rotating the winding handle 5 in the winding direction.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a rotary roller which is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the fishing line 7 wound around the spool 3. The rotary roller 11 is pivotally mounted on a support frame 13 rotatably mounted on the reel unit 1. The rotation of the rotary roller 11 is performed by rotating the gear train 15 provided in the support frame 13 and the shaft 1 connected to the gear train 15.
It is transmitted to the side plate 1a of the reel body 1 via 7, and the shaft 17 is further connected to a gear train 19 provided in the side plate 1a. A yarn length measuring gear 21 is meshed with the gear train 19.

The yarn length measuring gear 21 corresponds to a yarn length of 10 cm, for example, one rotation, and a magnet 23 is attached to the yarn length measuring gear 21. Two reed switches 25 and 27, which are turned on and off for each rotation, are arranged to face each other with a predetermined phase difference in the rotation direction of the yarn length measuring gear 21.

Reference numeral 29 is a waterproof yarn length measuring and displaying unit attached to the reel unit 1. The yarn length measuring and displaying unit 29 is provided with a digital display 31 on its upper surface, and the digital display 31 indicates the water depth from the water surface. It is composed of an underwater display unit 33 for displaying, a shelf display unit 35 for displaying the water depth from the water bottom or the shelf position, and a timer display unit 37 for displaying the waiting time in the water under the tackle.

FIG. 2 is an overall configuration diagram of the measuring and displaying system incorporated in the fishing reel according to the present embodiment. The reed switch 25 which is turned on and off by the magnet 23 of the yarn length measuring gear 21 is a counting pulse generating circuit. Connected to 39,
The counting pulse generating circuit 39 converts the signal output from the reed switch 25 into a pulse signal for one rotation of the yarn length measuring gear 21.

The first counting circuit 41 measures the length of the fishing line 7 which is fed and wound, and the counting pulse generation circuit 3 is provided.
A decimal counter 43 that divides the pulse from 9 (corresponding to a yarn length of 10 cm) and outputs a carry signal corresponding to 1 pulse of 1 m; and an up / down counter 45 that counts the carry signal of the decimal counter 43. It consists of The up / down counter 45 is connected to a decoder / drive circuit 49 which decodes the counted content and outputs it to the underwater display section 33 and the control circuit 47.

The second counting circuit 51 measures the water depth from the water bottom or the shelf position, and counts up the pulses from the counting pulse generating circuit 39. The contents of the counting circuit 51 are output to the shelf display section 35 via the decoder / drive circuit 53.

In FIG. 2, 55 is a reed switch 25,
A determination circuit for determining the yarn feeding and yarn winding direction by taking in the output signal of 27.
For example, when the output signal of the reed switch 25 is input before the output signal of the reed switch 27, it is determined that the yarn feeding direction is set, and the up / down counter 45 of the first counting circuit 41 is instructed to count up. When the output signal from the reed switch 27 is input before the output signal from the reed switch 25, on the contrary, the up / down counter 45 of the counting circuit 41 is determined as the winding direction.
It is designed to give a down-count command to. Reference numeral 57 is a reset switch for resetting the counting circuits 41, 51. As shown in FIG. 1, the reset switch 57 is for the underwater display unit 3 of the digital display 31.
3 is provided in the yarn length measurement display unit 29.

Reference numeral 59 is a timer circuit for counting the refilling time of the coma case, and the timer display section 37 is connected to the timer circuit 59 through a decoder / drive circuit 61. Then, the timer circuit 59 includes the control circuit 4
The operation is started by the command of No. 7, and the operation is stopped.

That is, in the present embodiment, the timer circuit 59 is automatically activated when the measured length value of the fishing line 7 when it is fed out and when it is wound up is equal to a predetermined value. The set value (feed-out value) of “7 m” is stored in the memory 63. Then, the control circuit 47 compares the measured yarn length value from the decoder / drive circuit 49 with the set value of "7 m" stored in the memory 63, and the measured yarn length value becomes "7 m" and coincides with the set value. When this is done, the operation of the timer circuit 59 is started.

The control circuit 47 constantly compares the measured yarn length value from the decoder / drive circuit 49 with the set value stored in the memory 63, and winds the fishing line 7 fed up to 30 m, for example. By doing so, the measured yarn length value from the decoder drive circuit 49 is the set value "7 m".
Then, the control circuit 47 stops the operation of the timer circuit 59.

Further, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 65 denotes a shelf setting switch provided on the thread length display unit 29 corresponding to the timer display section 37. The fisherman looks at the measured thread length value displayed on the underwater display section 33. For example, when the user wants to set a shelf at a position where the shelf is extended up to 30 m, the shelf setting switch 65 is pushed, whereby the switch 67 provided between the counting pulse generating circuit 39 and the counting circuit 51 is operated. At the same time when the counter circuit 31 is turned off and the operation of the counting circuit 31 is stopped, the control circuit 47, which receives the signal from the shelf setting switch 65, stores the measured yarn length value “30 m” from the decoder / drive circuit 49 in the memory 63 as the shelf position. . Then, the control circuit 47
Sends a command to the counting circuit 51 to display "0 m" on the shelf display section 35, and causes the timer circuit 59 that was operating to display "0" on the timer display section 37 via the decoder / drive circuit 61. Minutes ”and then
The timer display section 37 is made to start from the "0 minute" display again.

After a lapse of a predetermined time, the fishing line 7 is wound up as described above, and the payout line length is set to "7 m".
Then, the timer circuit 59 is instructed by the control circuit 47.
Is stopped and the display state of the timer display section 37 is maintained.

Further, in this embodiment, after the shelves are set in this way, the fishing line 7 is again fed out, and the point "10 m" before the shelf position "30 m" that was previously input to the memory 63, that is, the fishing line. At the point where 7 is fed for 20 m, the control circuit 47 performs arithmetic processing to display "0 minutes" on the timer display section 37, and the timer circuit 59 is activated again.

In addition, reference numeral 69 in FIG. 1 denotes a mode changeover switch provided on the yarn length measurement display unit 29. The fishing reel according to the present embodiment is configured in this way, and the operation of the fishing reel will be described next with reference to FIGS. 3 to 16.

First, the operation when the shelves are not set will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, a fishing rod 75 equipped with the fishing reel 73 according to the present embodiment is set on a ship 71 that has gone offshore as shown in FIG. From the tip, the fishing line 7 in which the Komase balance device 77 is connected is fed out. At this time, the distance from the rod tip to the water surface 79 is 3 m.

That is, when the mode changeover switch 69 is operated and the line length measurement display unit 29 is set to the operation mode, the reel clutch is turned off and the spool 3 is released, and the fishing line 7 is attached to the tackle 77. The weight of the weight causes the spool 3 to sequentially feed it out, and the descent from the rod tip begins. Since the spool 3 rotates accordingly, the rotation thereof is transmitted to the line length measuring gear 21 through the gear train 15 → the shaft 17 → the gear train 19, and the line length measuring gear 21 determines the amount of feeding of the fishing line 7. Rotated proportionally.

Each time the yarn length measuring gear 21 rotates, the magnet 23 crosses the reed switches 25 and 27, so that signals are sent from these reed switches 25 and 27, and the determination circuit 55 that receives this output signal. Then, by recognizing that the signal is first input from the reed switch 25, the up-count command is issued to the first counting circuit 41.
Is given to the up / down counter 45 of FIG.

Therefore, when the output signal of the reed switch 25 is applied to the counting pulse generating circuit 39, a pulse is generated from the counting pulse generating circuit 39, and this pulse is divided by the decimal counter 43 of the counting circuit 41. , And the carry signal generated every 10 counts is up /
In addition to being counted up by the down counter 45, the count content of the up / down counter 45 is output to the underwater display unit 33 via the decoder drive circuit 49, and the display is performed in units of 1 m.

On the other hand, the second counting circuit 51 sequentially counts up the pulses from the counting pulse generating circuit 39, and outputs the counted contents to the shelf display section 35 via the decoder / drive circuit 53 for display.

Here, when the fishing line 7 reaches the water surface 79 from the tip of the rod as shown in FIG. 3, the display states of the respective display portions 33 and 35 are as shown in FIG.
As shown in. When the fishing line 7 reaches the water surface 79, the reset switch 57 is operated to reset the contents of the first counting circuit 41 and the second counting circuit 51. The display state of each of the display units 33 and 35 at this time is “0 m” display, although not shown.

After that, the device 77 is lowered to a predetermined shelf position (for example, "30 m"). At this time, as described above, the control circuit 47 causes the decoder drive circuit 4 to operate.
Measured yarn length value from 9 and “7 m” stored in the memory 63
When the amount of feeding of the fishing line 7 displayed on the underwater display section 33 reaches “7 m” as shown in FIG. 5, the control circuit 47 activates the timer circuit 59 to activate the timer. The clock contents of the circuit 59 are output to the timer display section 37 via the decoder / drive circuit 61, and at the same time, the "minute" of the timer display section 37 blinks.

Then, as shown in FIG.
When the reel is fed out, the winding handle 5 is rotated in the winding direction to switch the clutch from OFF to ON and wait for a predetermined time.

Then, the disengagement time of the comer, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in, the display time of the timer display 37 is "2 minutes".
If so, it is determined that it is time to refill the comase, and the winding handle 5 is operated to wind up the device 77.
Thus, by operating the winding handle 5 in this manner, the spool 3
When the roller is rotated in the winding direction, the rotation of the roller 1
Since it is transmitted from 1 to the yarn length measuring gear 21 via the gear train 15, the lead switches 25 and 27 are turned on and off with the rotation of the yarn length measuring gear 21, and the output signal thereof is the counting pulse generating circuit 39 and It is supplied to the determination circuit 55. At this time, since the yarn length measuring gear 21 rotates in the opposite direction to the above case, the determination circuit 55 receives the signal from the reed switch 27 first, and as a result, the determination circuit 55 issues the down count command to the first count command. It is given to the up / down counter 45 of the counting circuit 41.

Therefore, the above-mentioned up / down counter 45
Is down-counted by the carry signal from the decimal counter 43, so that the display contents of the display units 33 and 35 are sequentially decreased from "30 m".

During this period, as described above, the control circuit 47 constantly compares the measured line length value from the decoder / drive circuit 49 with the set value stored in the memory 63, and the decoder drive is performed by winding the fishing line 7. When the measured yarn length value from the circuit 49 coincides with the set value “7 m” as shown in FIG. 7, the control circuit 47 stops the operation of the timer circuit 59, and the display of the timer display section 37 is stopped. State is retained.

After that, when the fishing line 7 is wound on the spool 3 and the tackle 77 reaches the water surface 79, the display contents of the display units 33 and 35 become "0 m" as shown in FIG. Then, after the refilling of the Komase basket 77a with the Komase basket is completed, the tackle 77 is again put into water and the fishing line 7 is fed out, so that the measured line length value from the decoder / drive circuit 49 is set as shown in FIG. When "7 m" is reached, the control circuit 47 starts the operation of the timer circuit 59, and at the same time, the display of the timer display section 37 becomes "0 minute" and the display is restarted, and the operation of FIGS. Will be repeated.

Next, the operation when the shelves are set will be described with reference to FIGS. As in the case where the shelf is not set, by feeding the fishing line 7 connected to the Komase balance device 77 from the rod tip, for example, by 3 m, the measured line length value is displayed on the underwater display part 33 and the shelf display part 35 as shown in FIG. Is displayed. When the fishing line 7 reaches the water surface 79, the reset switch 57 is operated to reset the contents of the first counting circuit 41 and the second counting circuit 51, thereby displaying the display states of the display units 33 and 35. Is displayed as "0 m".

After that, when the fishing line 7 is fed out and the tackle 77 is sequentially lowered, the control circuit 47 compares the measured line length value from the decoder / drive circuit 49 with the set value of "7 m" stored in the memory 63. As shown in FIG. 11, when the feeding amount of the fishing line 7 reaches “7 m”, the control circuit 47 activates the timer circuit 59. Therefore, the time content of the timer circuit 59 is displayed by the timer through the decoder / drive circuit 61. It is output to the section 37, and at the same time, "minute" of the timer display section 37 blinks.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, if the position where the tackle 77 is extended to "30 m" is set as the shelf position, the winding handle 5 is rotated in the winding direction to switch the clutch from OFF to ON, and the shelf is turned on. The setting switch 65 is operated.

When the shelf setting switch 65 is operated in this way, the switch 67 provided between the counting pulse generating circuit 39 and the counting circuit 51 is turned off, and the operation of the counting circuit 31 is stopped. At the same time, the shelf setting switch 6
The control circuit 47, to which the signal No. 5 is input, stores the measured yarn length value “30 m” from the decoder drive circuit 49 in the memory 63 as a shelf position, and further, as shown in FIG. A command is sent to the circuit 51 to display "0 m" on the shelf display section 35, display "0 minutes" on the operating timer display section 37, and set the timer display section 37 to "0 minute" again. It will be started from the display.

Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, when the fishing line 7 is wound up and the measured line length value reaches the set value "7 m" as shown in FIG. 13, the timer circuit 59 is stopped by the command of the control circuit 47 and the timer display section 37. Is stopped, and the time until this time is maintained in the displayed state.

Then, as shown in FIG. 14, after the fishing line 7 has been wound up to the water surface 79 and the refilling of the comase into the comase basket 77a has been completed, the tackle 77 is again put into the water and the fishing line 7 is fed out. At the point "10m" before the shelf position "30m" input to the control circuit 4, that is, at the point where the fishing line 7 is fed 20m as shown in FIG.
7 makes the display of the timer display section 37 display "0 minutes" and activates the timer circuit 59. And in FIG.
When the device 77 is extended 30 m as shown in the above, the winding handle 5 is rotated in the winding direction to turn off the clutch.
Switch on and wait for a predetermined time. The alarm may be activated when the fishing line 7 is delivered to the shelf setting position.

Then, if the disengagement time of the comrade, for example, the display time of the timer display section 37 becomes "2 minutes",
When it is determined that it is time to refill the comasses, the winding handle 5 is operated to wind up the device 77, and thereafter, the operations shown in FIGS. 13 to 16 are repeated.

Further, when carrying out shelving from the water bottom 81, if the device 77 is lowered until it reaches the water bottom 81 and the shelving setting switch 65 is operated, the shelving indicator 35 will show "0 m". When the device 77 is rolled up from the water bottom 81 by, for example, 5 m, “5 m” is displayed on the shelf display unit 35, and the underwater display unit 33 displays the water bottom 79 from the water surface 79.
"(L-5)" obtained by subtracting "5 m" from the distance L to 1
"m" will be displayed.

As described above, in this embodiment, the control circuit 47 automatically activates the timer circuit 59 when the measured line length value of the fishing line 7 measured by the line length measuring device coincides with the preset value. Since it is stopped, according to the present embodiment, the troubles caused by forgetting to press the timer switch or erroneous operation as in the prior art can be eliminated, and the fishing operability in practical use can be improved.

As described above, the fishing line 7 is used in this embodiment.
When the fishing line 7 that has been wound up is reeled out again after the reels are unwound to set the shelf position, the timer circuit 59 is automatically activated at a position before the shelf position input to the memory 63 last time. It is effective as a realistic measure for fishing.

That is, the shelf position must be considered as the fish play layer, not the center. It is important to check how long the fish play layer with a certain width has been fishing at the target shelf position. It is important to consider the improvement of. Therefore, automatically operating the timer circuit 59 from, for example, "10 m" before the shelf setting position, as in the above embodiment, is effective as a practical countermeasure for the fishing method aiming at the shelf.

In the above embodiment, the yarn length measuring device for measuring the yarn length by pressing the rotating roller 11 against the outer peripheral surface of the fishing line 7 is used. However, for example, the yarn length is calculated based on the detection of the spool rotation speed. Needless to say, it is possible to use various types of yarn length measuring devices, such as a method for detecting the number of rotations of a roller rotated by winding fishing line.

Further, in the above embodiment, the clutch is turned from OFF to ON by the rotation operation of the winding handle 5 to stop the feeding, but as is well known, the fishing line is moved to the rack position by the actuator such as the clutch motor and the solenoid. When the sheet is fed, the feeding state may be automatically switched to the winding state.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the timer circuit is used as a device for counting the standby time in the water of the Komase balance. However, it can be widely used as a device for counting the standby time in the water of the device. is there.

[0052]

As described above, according to the fishing reel of the present invention, when the timer means for counting the waiting time of the tackle in water is incorporated, the operation switch of the timer means is pushed. Trouble caused by forgetting or erroneous operation was resolved, and practical fishing operability could be improved.
