JPH03216136A - Device for informing amount of delivered fishing line - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately display the amount of a delivered fishing line by memorizing the length, etc., of the passing fishing line and the rotation number of a spool when the fishing line is wound on the spool, computing the amount of the delivered fishing line only from the rotation number of the spool when the fishing line is delivered, and subsequently outputting the computed result to an information means. CONSTITUTION:When a fishing line 6 is wound on a spool 2, the length or speed of the passing fishing line and the rotation number of the spool measured by a non-touch measuring means B and by a detecting means D, respectively, are memorized in a memory 21 as practically measured data correspondent to the rotation number of the spool. A control means F computes the length of the delivered fishing line only on the basis of the data of the rotation number of the spool detected by the detection means D and outputs the computed result on an information means E.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fishing line payout amount notification device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a fishing line payout amount notification means,
-151368 publication or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 602442
There is a device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 48, and the former of these references is configured to notify the amount of fishing line let out by digital numbers based on the rotation of a roller that comes into contact with the fishing line wound around a spool. In addition, the latter of the references is configured to notify the amount of fishing line reeled out using digital numbers based on the number of revolutions of the spool; in the former, the device is attached to the reel body; In some cases, the device is used built into the reel body.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Now, considering the above cited example, in the former example, the roller rotates when it comes into contact with the fishing line, so the amount of fishing line let out can be determined regardless of the diameter of the fishing line. , If moisture adheres to the fishing line, or if oil and fat components of the bait adhere to the fishing line, slipping occurs on the roller, which tends to cause an error in the amount of fishing line to be notified. The latter has a structure that does not use rollers, so it does not cause false detection due to slipping, but the diameter of the fishing line to be used is entered in advance, so this manual input is not carried out correctly. If there is an error in the diameter of the fishing line, or if an incorrect value is entered when entering the diameter of the fishing line, an error will occur in the amount of fishing line that is reported. When fishing with a rack, it is common to use a fishing line, and when using a twisted line in this way, it is extremely difficult to input the diameter of the fishing line in advance because the diameter of the fishing line is uncertain. Because of the difficulty, it is not possible to accurately grasp the amount of feeding, and there is room for improvement compared to the cited examples.

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the amount of fishing line fed out from the spool.
The point is to rationally configure a device that can grasp as accurately as possible.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The first aspect of the present invention is characterized by a reporting means for reporting the amount of fishing line being fed out, a detection means for detecting the number of revolutions of the spool, and a measuring means for measuring the length or speed of the passing fishing line. Each of the non-contact measuring means is provided in the reel body, and the measurement results from the measuring means are obtained when the fishing line is wound onto the spool;
Based on each of the detection results of the detection means, the control means stores data, and outputs the amount of fishing line let out from the spool to the notification means based on the detection results from the detection means and each of the stored data. In addition, the second invention is characterized by a notification means for notifying the amount of fishing line being fed out, a detection means for detecting the number of revolutions of the spool, and a non-contact method for measuring the length or speed of the passing fishing line. The reel body is equipped with measuring means for each type, and the detection results of the detection means and the measurement results of the measuring means are compared under predetermined conditions, and if a specific relationship is maintained, based on the measurement results. , and a control means for outputting the fishing line payout amount to the notification means based on the correction result obtained based on the detection result when the specific relationship is not maintained. The action and effect are as follows.

(Function) When the features of the first invention are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, for example, at the same time as the operation of winding the fishing line (6) onto the spool (2) is started, the measurement means (B) The measurement results and the detection results from the detection means (1) are stored in the memory (2l) as actual measurement data corresponding to the rotational speed of the spool (2), as shown in the flowchart of Fig. 4. , After this storage is completed, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the data from the detection means (D),
That is, it becomes possible to determine the length of the fishing line (6) let out from the spool (2) based only on the number of rotations of the spoon (2).
B) is a non-contact type, so you can attach a rotating body such as a roller to a fishing line (6
), there are no false detections due to slippage, and the data stored is accurate.

Furthermore, if the feature of the second invention is configured as shown in FIG.
), it is possible to grasp the occurrence of false detection based on each detection result, and to make corrections as shown in this flowchart.Furthermore, since the measuring means (B) is a non-contact type, it is possible to Compared to a structure in which the rotating body is brought into contact with the fishing line (6), there are no false detections due to slipping, making it possible to further reduce false detections.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Therefore, by equipping the reel body with a non-contact measuring means, a device has been rationally constructed that can extremely accurately determine the amount of fishing line being fed out from the spool.

In particular, in the second invention, since the measuring means (B) is configured as a non-contact type, when the fishing line (6) is paid out from the spool (2), and when the fishing line (6) is wound around the spool (2), It also has the effect that no resistance is applied to the fishing line (6) when it is taken.

In this reel, the control case (5) has a liquid crystal display (7) that displays the length of the fishing line (6) fed out from the spool (2) and the value of the shelf value in digital numbers, and the spool (2). When the length of the fishing line (6) let out from "approximately matches the value of the shelf J", and the length of the fishing line (6) let out
It has a built-in buzzer (8) that operates when most of the spool is wound onto the spool (2), a control device (9) that controls these, and a reset switch (10) and a set switch (11). ) and a start switch (12).

In addition, when winding the fishing line (6) with this reel, one of three methods is used: driving the DC motor (M), rotating the handle (4), and operating the handle at the same time as driving the motor. You can also choose fishing line (6)
When feeding out the spool, disengage the clutch (not shown) by operating the lever (L) shown in Figure 3 and release the spool (2).
) is set to free transfer state, and the weight of the device is set to the spool (
The fishing line (6) is pulled out from 2), and no matter what form the fishing line (6) is wound in, the fishing line (6)
Even if the fishing line (6) is currently being paid out from the spool (2), the LCD display (7) will show the fishing line (6) that is currently being paid out from the spool (2).
The length of is displayed.

Further, the reher wind mechanism (A) includes a thread guide (15) that is reciprocated in the left-right direction while being guided by a guide rod (14) by the rotation of a screw shaft (13),
A non-contact measuring means (B) consisting of a light source (16) and a pair of photosensors (17) and (17) is provided inside the thread guide (15).

Note that this measuring means (B) detects the passing of marks (6a) marked at a constant pitch (P) on the fishing line (6), and also detects the passage of a pair of photosensors (17) (17). The structure is such that the moving direction of the fishing line (6) can also be determined based on the timing.

In addition, a plurality of magnets (18
)... is attached, and on the side of the reel body (C), a pair of reed switches (19), (19) which are turned on and off by this magnet (18)... are provided as detection means (D). It is being

Note that the liquid crystal display (7) and the buzzer (8) are examples of the notification means (E), and the control device (9) is an example of the control means (F).

Furthermore, with this reel, when winding the fishing line (6) onto the spool (2), the length of the fishing line (6) actually wound onto the spool (2) is made to correspond to the rotation speed of the spool (2). When fishing, the fishing line (6
) is configured to be output to the liquid crystal display (7).

That is, in this reel, the control system is configured as shown in FIG. 2, and the control device (9) includes a measuring means (B), a detecting means (D), a reset switch (10), a set switch (11) , a signal path for manually inputting signals from the start switch (12), and an output path for outputting signals to the liquid crystal display (7), buzzer (8), and DC motor (M), and This control device (9) has a built-in memory (21) for storing data.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned memorization operation is referred to as a "learning mode", and the operation of displaying the length of the fishing line (6) based on the memorized data is referred to as a "display mode". and FIG. 5.

In other words, the learning mode is set when the reset switch (10) is turned ON.
operation, and this ON operation causes the memory (
21) and the display (7) are cleared (#1 step), then by turning on the start switch (12), the fishing line (6) is directly attached to the spool (2) by the drive of the structure motor (M). is wound up (#2, 1
+3 steps).

In this manner, in a situation where the fishing line (6) is wound onto the spool (2), the fishing line (6) from the measuring means (B)
actual measurement data, and the spool from the detection means (D) (
At the same time as inputting the rotation data of 2) (114, step #5), the set switch ( 11) is continued until it is turned on (steps #6 and #7).

Then, when the set switch (11) is turned on, a value of "0" is output to the shelf display section (7a) and main display section (7b) of the display (7) (step #8), and this learning The operation ends.

Also, in this reel, when the learning operation is finished and the display mode starts, it is determined whether the spool (2) is rotating (
#1 step), if the spool (2) is rotating, the direction of rotation of the spool (2) is set by the pair of reed switches (19), (1
9) is determined based on the signal from (#2 step), and the count value is incremented based on the rotation direction, or
Decrement (13, #4 step).

Next, memory data corresponding to the count value is retrieved and stored in the control device (steps #5 and #6).

Next, if the shelf data is set (#7 step)
, calculate whether the store data approximately matches the shelf data,
Only when they almost match, the buzzer (8) is activated to let the angler know that the bait has reached shelf J (#8,
#9, #10 Stemp).

In addition, when paying out the fishing line (6) from the spool (2), a clutch (not shown) that sets the spool (2) to a free transfer state is disconnected by operating the lever (L), and the fishing line (6) is released from the fishing line (6). Depending on the weight of the fishing line (
6).

Next, when the fishing line (6) is wound on the spool (2), it is calculated whether the store data matches the boat edge data (Ill, step #12), and only if they match, the buzzer (8) is activated. to make the angler aware that the device has been pulled up to the edge of the boat (Steps #13 and #14).
After these processes, display the store data (7)
output to the main display section (7b) (#15 step), and
If shelf data exists, the shelf data is output to the shelf display section (7a) and the process returns (116, step #17).

Also, in this way, when controlling after the learning operation is completed,
Since the signal from the measuring means (B) becomes unnecessary, the signal from the measuring means (B) is not inputted.

In addition, with this reel, the shelf data is set by letting out the fishing line (6) from the spool (2) and keeping it stopped for a few seconds, or by manual operation, and the edge data is set by the learning operation. Automatically set when exiting (setting operation is not detailed).

In other words, in this reel, the learning operation as in the first embodiment is not performed, and the measuring means (B) is used in the same way as in the first embodiment.
The length of the fishing line (6) let out from the spool (2) is output to the liquid crystal display (7) based on the data from the measuring means (B) and the detecting means (D
), and if the data from the measuring means (B) is significantly different from the data assumed in advance based on the data from the detecting means (D), It operates to output the length of the fishing line (6) to the liquid crystal display (7) based on data that approximates the measured data instead of the data from the measuring means (B), and its outline is as follows.

That is, as shown in Fig. 6, when the control is started, a constant (K) is set according to the rotational direction of the spool (2) and the accumulated rotational speed of the spool (#1 step), and then ,
Input measurement data (N1) and detection data (N2) for an extremely short time (T) (#2
, #3 step).

Next, the values of measurement data (N1) and detection data (N2) are multiplied by the value of time (T) to obtain the values of (t, +) and (t.z), and from (L2) to (L1 ) is larger than a predetermined value (α), and the data of (N2) is selected instead of the data of (Nl) (#4, #5, # 6, #7 step), and convert this selection data into the rotation direction of the spool (2) and the constant (
After the calculation is performed based on K), it is output to the liquid crystal display (7) (steps #8 and #9).

In the second embodiment, the operation for displaying the shelf and the operation for activating the buzzer are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
