Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a line length measuring device installed in a fishing reel.

In fishing reels, it has been proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 15847-1984 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 15847-1983 to provide an electronic control mechanism such as a detection device, a display section, a microcomputer, and a power source on the reel body in order to control the amount of fishing line being fed out.
This is known from Publication No. 40788, etc., but since the detection device, power supply, microcopy device, etc. are each constructed separately and attached to the main body, manufacturing and assembly is extremely troublesome, and it is difficult to attach and detach during repair and replacement. Moreover, since the fishing line payout amount is detected by the rotation of the spool, there is a large error due to the winding diameter of the fishing line, and furthermore, the electronic control mechanism has flaws such as being weak in waterproofness and shock resistance.

The present invention has been developed to improve these deficiencies, and includes a storage body that houses electronic control mechanisms such as a power supply, display, operation unit, and microcomputer, which is removably attached to the upper part of the reel side plate. The other side of the detection body, which has a rotating roller that rotates in contact with the storage body, is provided at the rear of the storage body, and the detection body is urged toward the fishing line winding surface side by a spring, and the rotation of the rotation roller is caused to The gist is that the yarn length is measured and displayed by transmitting the information to an electronic control mechanism housed in the machine.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Fixing pieces 5, 5 formed on both sides of the fixing base 4 are fitted into the fixing base 4, and the fixing base 4 is removably fixed to the upper part of the reel side plates 1, 2 with fixing screws 6, respectively. The storage body 7 that houses the electronic control mechanism is detachably attached via the engagement protrusion 7' that engages with the engagement hole 4' of the fixed base 4 and the retaining protrusion 7'' that engages with the fixed protrusion 4''. Fixed.

The storage body 7 houses a display section 8, an operation section 9, a power supply (not shown), an electronic control mechanism such as a microcomputer, etc., and supports supported by support pieces 10, 10 at the rear end. The shaft 11 includes a rotating roller 12 and a rotation speed detection device 13 for the rotating roller 12 connected to the electronic control mechanism.
A detection body 14 having a spring 15 is pivotally supported so as to be biased clockwise, and an operating member 16, which is biased toward the shaft support side by a spring 15', slides on the outside of the detection body 14. When the detecting body 14 is raised upward against the spring 15', the operating member 16 is inserted freely.
is engaged with the notch 17 formed in the supporting pieces 10, 10 to lock and hold the detecting body 14 in the lifted position, and when the operating member 16 is removed from the notch 17, the detecting body 14 is moved downward by the spring 15. Rotating roller 1 that is biased to rotate
2 is configured to come into pressure contact with the fishing line winding surface.

The rotation speed detection device 13 of the rotating roller 12 includes a worm gear 19 provided on the rotating shaft 18 of the rotating roller 12, and a transmitter 21 such as a magnet provided on a gear 20 meshing with the worm gear 19.
The rotational speed of the motor is detected by a detecting section 22 provided therefor and transmitted to the electronic control mechanism section.

5 and 6 show another embodiment of the fixing base 4, in which a support rod is installed between the reel side plates 1 and 2 at the lower part of the fixing base 4 to which the storage body 7 is removably fixed with fixing screws 23. A clamping plate 27 is provided with a clamping piece 25 that abuts on the upper surface of the support rod 24 and a clamping piece 26 that contacts the lower surface of the support rod 24 is pivotally supported by a threaded rod 28 and a tightening screw 29 so as to be openable and closable. The fixing base 4 is detachably fixed to the fixing base 24.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, mounting pieces 5', 5' are fixed to both sides of the fixed base 4, and the mounting pieces 5', 5' are removably fixed to the reel side plates 1, 2 with set screws 6. It is something.

Note that the detection device 13 may use an optical detection method instead of the magnetic sensor method.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, when it is used as a boat fishing reel for measuring the length of a fishing line being fed out or wound up, the storage body 7 is attached to the upper part of the reel side plates 1 and 2. The rotating roller 12 of the detection body 14 connected to this is brought into direct contact with the fishing line winding surface, and the setting and display of the fishing line payout amount, as well as the actual payout amount or winding amount, etc., can be performed regardless of the winding diameter of the spool. When performing fishing operations while accurately displaying measurements on the display, or when used as a throwing reel for rock fishing, casting fishing, etc. that does not require line length measurement, the storage body 7 and its integral rotating roller are used. 12 can be easily removed from the upper part of the reel side plates 1 and 2 to smoothly carry out fishing operations.

In the present invention, a storage body having an electronic control mechanism is detachably attached to the upper part of the reel side plate, and the rotating action of a rotating roller of a detection body provided in the storage body on the fishing line winding surface is transmitted to the electronic control mechanism of the storage body. Since the yarn length is measured and displayed, the storage body and the detection body having the rotating roller are integrated into a unit and can be easily attached to and removed from the upper part of the reel side plate without disassembling the reel side plate. It can be used as a reel for boat fishing, etc., which requires a length measurement display, and when used as a reel for rock fishing or throwing, which does not require a length measurement display, the storage body and detection body can be removed from the reel side plate to facilitate fishing operations. The reel can be used for a wide variety of purposes depending on the purpose of use, and the unit structure allows for easy assembly and disassembly during manufacturing or repair/replacement. The roller accurately measures and displays the amount of fishing line regardless of the winding diameter of the spool, and the measurement display is displayed on a fixed storage body at the top of the reel side plate, making it easy to read the measurement display. It has excellent features and practicality that ensure waterproofing.
