Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a rotor for winding fishing line, a sensor for measuring the amount of rotation of the rotor, a memory for holding data, and an informing means. The present invention relates to a fishing reel comprising control means for determining the amount of fishing line to be paid out from the rotating body based on the measurement result of the sensor and the data stored in the memory and outputting the amount to the notification means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a fishing reel constructed as described above, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-216135. In this conventional example, an empty spool (rotating body) is used. Based on the actual measurement data from the measuring means of the structure that comes into contact with the fishing line when the fishing line is wound and the data from the sensor that determines the amount of rotation of the spool, control is performed to retain predetermined data in the memory (hereinafter, When the fishing line is paid out from the spool after this control, the amount of the fishing line paid out from the spool is displayed as a digital number on the liquid crystal display based on the rotation amount of the spool and the data held in the memory. It is configured to output to a notification means) (hereinafter referred to as a notification operation).

[0003]

Here, considering the above-mentioned conventional example, in the fishing reel which informs the amount of the fishing line delivered based on the amount of rotation of the spool as described above, for example, a roller or the like is brought into contact with the fishing line. In comparison with a structure in which a sensor having the structure described above is provided and in which the amount of fishing line delivered from the spool is notified based on the signal from this sensor, it has a good aspect of performing an accurate notification operation with less error. Has become. In other words, with a structure such as a roller having a sensor that comes into contact with the fishing line, the occurrence of an error due to the slip between the roller and the fishing line cannot be avoided. In the case of performing the informing operation for obtaining the amount of fishing line to be fed out based on the data in the memory, since there is no sensor or the like that comes into contact with the fishing line, there is no error caused by slip. Further, considering the learning operation of the conventional example, during this learning operation, the feeding amount (moving speed of the fishing line is measured with the uniform tension applied to the fishing line, and the feed determined by the process of multiplying this speed by the passage of time). The fishing line is wound while measuring the amount of rotation of the spool and the amount of rotation of the spool, and the fishing line is wound in a state where the fishing line is not loosened. However, it is not easy to artificially perform the operation of applying a uniform tension to the fishing line during the learning operation, and the notification operation is caused by the uneven tension applied to the fishing line during the learning operation. It may cause some errors.
In addition, the error of the notification operation may increase due to the "stretching" of the fishing line due to use, and there is room for improvement. An object of the present invention is to reasonably configure a fishing reel that performs an informing operation with a small error without performing a good operation of informing the amount of fishing line delivered based on the amount of rotation of a spool and data in a memory. There is a point to do.

[0004]

The first feature of the present invention is, as described at the beginning, a rotor for winding fishing line, a sensor for measuring the amount of rotation of the rotor, a memory for holding data,
And a control means for determining the amount of fishing line fed from the rotating body based on the measurement result by the sensor and the data held in the memory and outputting the information to the notifying means when the rotating body rotates. In a fishing reel made up of the following, when the fishing line wound around the rotating body is paid out, data is stored in the memory based on the data from the measuring means for obtaining the amount of this fishing line and the data from the sensor. The second feature of the present invention resides in that the rotating body winds the fishing line, a sensor for measuring the amount of rotation of the rotating body, a memory for storing data, and In addition to providing each notifying means, the amount of fishing line fed out from the rotating body based on the measurement result by the sensor and the data stored in the memory when the rotating body rotates. In a fishing reel provided with a control means for outputting to a request notifying means, a fishing line obtained from the data of each of the sensor and the memory at the time of unwinding or winding of the fishing line wound around the rotating body. There is a correction means for correcting the data held in the memory by comparing the amount of withdrawal and withdrawal of the fishing line with the data from the measuring means for obtaining the amount of fishing line withdrawal and ingress, and the respective actions and effects are It is as follows.

[0005]

When the first feature is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, for example, when learning, the fishing line 2 wound around the rotating body 3 is paid out, that is, during actual fishing. By performing the learning operation when the work in progress is put into the sea, the feeding amount of the fishing line 2 with respect to the rotation amount of the rotating body 3 can be obtained based on the data of the rotating body 3 and the data of the measuring means S _2. The data is held in the memory 15, and after the learning, the rotation amount of the rotating body 3 and the memory 1 are stored.
Based on the data held in 5, the feeding amount of the fishing line 2 can be grasped. That is, in the present invention, a state in which a relatively uniform tension is applied by the weight of the weight attached to the tackle during actual fishing, without applying a uniform tension when the fishing line 2 is wound around the rotating body 3 It will be possible to study at. In addition, the second characteristic is, for example,
With the configuration shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, when the data is corrected, the correction operation is selected at the time of actual fishing, and the work in progress is lowered (the fishing line winding operation is also possible).
The feed amount of the fishing line 2 based on the data from the sensor S ₂ and the data from the memory 15 is compared with the actual length of the fishing line 2 from the measuring means S _2, and a correction value for correcting an error based on this comparison is set. Will be done. That is, in the present invention, when a cause such as an error such as "stretching" occurs in the fishing line 2 due to use, the correction mode is selected at the time of actual fishing, and the fishing line 2 is unrolled (or wound). Thus, it is possible to grasp the feeding amount of the fishing line 2 with a small error without performing learning again.

[0006]

Therefore, learning is performed by a simple operation without performing a good operation of informing the amount of fishing line delivered based on the amount of rotation of the spool and the data in the memory.
A fishing reel that performs an accurate notification operation with a small error, and a fishing operation that corrects an error caused by "stretching" of a fishing line and performs an accurate value notification operation without learning again by a simple operation. The reel was reasonably constructed.

A clutch mechanism C operated by a clutch lever 8 is installed in the right side case 1, and when the clutch mechanism C is turned off, the transmission between the handle 7 and the spool 3 is cut off to prevent the spool 3 from freely rotating. forgive.
The control case 5 is provided with a liquid crystal display 9 as a notification means, a plurality of control switches 10 and 10, a high break switch 11, and a reset switch 12, and
The controller 13, the alarm 14, the memory 15, and the battery 16 are internally provided with a first sensor S _{1 including} a pair of reed switches and a second sensor S ₂ (an example of a measuring unit) including a single reed switch. The control system is configured as shown in FIG. 1, the memory 15 is of a static type that retains data by voltage application, and when the battery 16 is replaced, the power supply from the battery 16 to the control system is cut off. At the same time, the voltage drop due to the removal of the battery 16 is determined by the switching circuit 17, the switching circuit 17 is made conductive, and the voltage of the capacitor 18 is applied to the memory 15 to retain the data of the memory 15. As shown in FIG. 2, in this reel, the gear 3 formed on the side of the spool 3
A wheel 19 that meshes with A is built in the left side case 1, the first sensor S ₁ is arranged at a position where the magnet M provided on the wheel 19 acts, and the control case 5 A tool T having a structure in which the rotation from a rotary roller 22 contacting the fishing line 2 is transmitted to a wheel 24 having a magnet M via a large number of gears 23 to a tool main body 21 attached to a reel 20 via a clamp 20. The second sensor S ₂ is arranged at a position where it is subjected to the magnetic action of the magnet M of the wheel 24 when attached.

With this reel, when fishing, the amount of rotation of the spool 3 is measured based on the signal from the first sensor S ₁ , and based on this measurement result and the data stored in the memory 15. In addition, the control device 13 is provided with a control means F for obtaining the length of the fishing line 2 fed out from the spool 3 and displaying it on the liquid crystal display 9 by digital numbers, and also for holding predetermined data in the memory 15. In this reel, when the fishing line 2 wound around the spool 3 is fed out by an operation such as using the weight of a work in progress, and the fishing line 2 is wound around the spool 3 in an empty state as in the conventional case. The processing means E is provided for learning in any case of turning. That is, in each learning,
The feeding amount of the fishing line 2 can be grasped by using the tool T, and the learning mode is set by operating a predetermined control switch as shown in FIG. By setting in this way, the word "learning" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 9, and further, when the fishing line 2 is learned by the operation of the predetermined control switch 10, or when the fishing line 2 is wound. One of learning is selected and the operating direction of the address counter is set (steps # 101 to # 10).
4 steps). The address counter is configured by software so as to set the transfer address (destination side) of the memory 15 to which the learned data is transferred, and in the feed-out learning, it is taken up by the up-count (operation mode in which the count value increases). The learning is set to a down count (operation mode in which the count value decreases). By setting in this way, during the display operation described below, the fishing line 2 is changed from the value written in the address corresponding to the rotation count value of the spool 3. The delivery amount can be easily obtained.

Next, data for grasping the spool rotation amount from the first sensor S ₁ along with the rotation of the spool 3 and measurement data from the second sensor S ₂ are obtained, and this data is used as map data. After performing the operation of converting and transferring to the memory 15, the operation of operating the address counter to set the transfer area of the next data is performed, and this operation is repeatedly performed until the learning is completed by the operation of a predetermined switch. (Steps # 105 to # 109).
The software consisting of steps # 105 to # 108 is referred to as processing means E for holding the data from the first sensor S ₁ and the second sensor S ₂ in the memory 15. or,
The map data means the fishing line 2 with respect to the address of the memory 15 corresponding to the count value of the rotation of the spool 3 described later.
This is a data format in which a value representing the actual length of the fishing line is written. By constructing the data in this way, the feeding amount of the fishing line 2 can be promptly notified only by designating the address without performing a complicated operation. . Next, in the case of feed-out learning, the spool 3 is based on the sensor data from the first sensor S ₁ and the measurement data from the second sensor S _2.
The change characteristic of the winding amount of the fishing line 2 with respect to the unit rotation amount of is determined, and the data corresponding to the unfed region of the fishing line 2 obtained based on this characteristic is transferred to the empty area of the memory 15, and the second sensor S The measurement data (actual length value) from ₂ is displayed on the liquid crystal display 9 (steps # 110 to # 112), and in the case of the winding learning, “0.
The value of "0" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 9 to end the learning operation (step # 113). In addition, in the above-described feed-out learning, it is often the case that the entire fishing line 2 of the spool 3 cannot be fed out, and the unit rotation amount of the spool 3 corresponds to the region in which the fishing line 2 cannot be fed out, that is, the region indicated by the broken line in the graph of FIG. According to the change characteristics of the amount of feeding of the fishing line 2
By transferring the value obtained by calculation, it is possible to display the payout amount of the fishing line 2 even when the fishing line 2 in the unlearned area is paid out.

After the learning is completed in this way, it becomes possible to display the amount of feeding of the fishing line 2 with respect to the liquid crystal display 9. In the control of this display, as shown in FIG. The count value N (rotation amount) in the payout direction of the spool 3 is obtained based on the determination of the rotation direction of the spool 3 by inputting the signal from S ₁ (# 20.
1 step to # 205 step). The count value N increases as the rotation amount of the spool 3 in the fishing line feeding direction increases. Next, as described above, based on the map data stored in the memory 15 and the count value N, the amount of feeding L _N of the fishing line 2 from the spool 3 is obtained, and the value thus obtained is used for the liquid crystal display 9
Is displayed (step # 206, step # 207).
The software consisting of steps # 202 to # 207 will be referred to as control means F for obtaining the amount of feeding the fishing line 2. Further, the process of reducing the value of the parameter R when obtaining the amount of extension of the fishing line 2 is for performing a correction when a "high break" described later occurs, and the parameter P is multiplied at the time of display. The process is for making corrections described later, and the initial value of the parameter R is set to "0" and the initial value of the parameter P is set to "1". next,
When a "high break" occurs, the cutting portion of the fishing line 2 is positioned near the tip of the fishing rod, the high break switch 11 is turned on, and then the length of the fishing line 2 is determined based on the color-coded mark or the like ( By feeding the fishing line 2 (10 meters in this embodiment), the rotation amount of the spool 3 corresponding to the feeding amount is obtained, and the high-break switch 11 is turned on.
By operating N, it is determined which region of the data stored in the memory 15 corresponds to the value of the rotation amount of the spool 3 corresponding to this unit feed amount, and the cutting amount of the fishing line 2 is obtained. Is set as the shift amount in the parameter R, and the value "10.0" is displayed on the liquid crystal display (steps # 208 to # 213). In this correction process, as shown in the graph of FIG.
Is set, the liquid crystal display 9 always displays a value reduced by the shift amount.

Further, when the fishing line 2 is "stretched" due to long-term use, or when an error appears in the display amount of the fishing line 2 due to a knot formed in the middle of the fishing line 2, A process for correcting the display is selected by operating a predetermined switch, and the tool T is attached to correct the display (step # 300). When this process is selected, as shown in FIG. 9, first, the word "correction" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 9, and the feeding amount L _S of the fishing line 2 is stored in a register or the like. The feeding amount of the fishing line 2 is determined by the first sensor S ₁ and the feeding amount (measurement data) of the fishing line 2 is determined by the second sensor S ₂ at the same time. The operation is performed until the fishing line 2 is fed out by a predetermined amount (# 301 step to # 30).
5 steps). Next, when the feeding amount of the fishing line 2 reaches the set value, the alarm 14 is activated, the feeding amount L _T of the fishing line 2 based on this map data is stored in a register, etc., and the fishing line 2 of the fishing line 2 detected by the second sensor S ₂ is stored. The delivery amount L _U (measurement data) is also held in a register or the like, and the correction value P is calculated and set based on these store data (steps # 306 to # 309). In addition, this #
The software including the steps 301 to # 309 is referred to as a correction unit G. Further, in the process of setting the correction value P in this way, the learning operation is not newly performed, that is, the memory 1
