Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is capable of automatically performing a manual and electric switching operation.
Moreover, the present invention relates to a fishing reel for both manual and electric use, which is capable of controlling the rotation torque of the spool during electric winding and has a depth memory function without an additional mechanism.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

The conventional manual / motorized fishing reel can be switched to manual by operating the separately attached clutch lever etc. if the motor fails or if the motor is overloaded, such as when catching a large fish. After that, since the yarn is wound on the road yarn, a switching device having a complicated structure is required, and inconveniences such as complicated reel operation are observed.

In response to this, the applicant, as shown in FIG. 5, has a ratchet mechanism (b) at the outer end of the drive shaft (a) that rotates in conjunction with a drive shaft having a roller clutch.
By attaching the manual handle (d) via (c), it is possible to prevent the handle and the drive shaft from rotating together, and
By rotating the handle faster than the drive shaft,
This is a reel designed for both manual and electric use, which can be automatically switched to manual (see Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-61633).

However, in the above-described configuration, when the electric thread is wound by electric power, the small hook that controls the rotation torque of the spool rotates together with the drive shaft, so that the small hook cannot be operated and so-called "fish" at the time of fishing is called. There was a problem that it could not be exchanged, but there was a problem to be solved.

On the other hand, as a spool stop mechanism of a depth memory device equipped on this kind of electric reel, for example, a ratchet gear fixed to one side of the spool is provided with a solenoid operated by a signal from a microcomputer and a plurality of cams. Most of them are configured to stop the free rotation of the spool, and they are constructed by adding individual mechanisms, so that the structure is complicated and a high degree of assembly precision is required. Another problem was that the entire reel became large and heavy.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the present invention supports a manual shaft having an outer end with a flange and an outer end with a handle ring for controlling the rotating torque of a handle and a sprue, and the manual shaft is provided with a co-rotation preventing mechanism such as a bearing. A rotary torque control mechanism for a spool consisting of a multi-plate clutch, a switching gear and a master gear is inserted through the multi-plate clutch, and the multi-plate clutch can be pressed at any time by a small ring that contacts the inner ring of the bearing. While allowing the manual shaft to engage only in the rotation direction of the switching gear via the one-way mechanism, the switching gear of the control mechanism is connected to the electric mechanism via the roller clutch to rotate in one direction at a constant speed. Connect the intermediate gear of the drive shaft and the master gear to the pinion sleeve of the auto-return type clutch mechanism that can be engaged with the spool. In addition, a sensor and a microcomputer count and store the number of revolutions of the spool when the road is wound up, and the stored value and the count value when the line is unwound are arithmetically processed to enable the motor to rotate a fixed amount. By equipping the device, the above-mentioned problems are solved all at once.

[Work]

The fishing reel of the present invention can be automatically switched between manual operation and electric operation, the small loop does not rotate together with the switching gear at the time of electric hoisting, and is output from the microcomputer at the time of feeding the road thread. In response to the control signal, the pinion sleeve engages with the spool shaft to stop free rotation of the spool.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. 1 is an outer case of a reel, 2 is a motor of an electric mechanism attached to one side of the outer case, and 3 is the motor. Of the plurality of reduction gears meshing with the rotating shaft 2'of the drive shaft, and 4 is a drive shaft, and an intermediate gear 6 is attached to one end of the drive shaft via a roller clutch 5, and the gear 6 and the above-mentioned final gear are attached. By engaging the gears 3 with each other, the drive shaft 4 can be rotated in one direction at a constant speed.

Further, 7 is a multi-plate clutch consisting of a plurality of linings, and a manual / electric switching gear 9 and a master gear 10 which are inserted through a co-rotation preventing mechanism such as bearings 8 and 8 in a manual shaft described below. Spring interposed between and 1
A grip ring 11 that can be tightened via a 1'and a sleeve 11 "is used to adjust the pressure contact force between the switching gear 9 and the master gear 10 to control the rotational torque of the spool 12.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an intermediate gear that connects the switching gear 9 and the drive shaft 4.

The manual shaft 14 having the handle 19 at its outer end has a flange 15 at its inner end, as shown in FIG. While the free stoppers 17 and 17 are installed oppositely, the stoppers
A saw blade-shaped receiving groove having a shallow inclined surface which is cut so as to face the inner recess of the ratchet 20 in which 17 and 17 are integrally formed with the switching gear 9.
A one-way mechanism that is elastically engaged with 18 * 18 is configured so that the manual shaft 14 can rotate only in the rotation direction of the switching gear 9. In addition, 20 and 20 'indicate a ratchet type reverse rotation prevention unit.

The fishing reel of the present invention according to the above configuration has the handle described above.
When 19 is not used, even if the switching gear 9 is rotated by the motor 2 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 2 (the winding direction of the yarn), the stopper 17 is shortened at any time to engage with the receiving groove 18. Therefore, co-rotation of the handle 19 and the grip ring 11 can be reliably prevented. On the other hand, the above handle
By rotating 19 in the direction of the arrow at a higher speed than the switching gear 9, the stopper 17 and the receiving groove 18 are engaged to push the switching gear 9, that is, the spool 12 is manually rotated in the winding direction. It is possible to

Further, in FIGS. 1 and 2, 21 is the master gear 10 described above.
A pinion sleeve 22 ′ that rotates via a pinion 22 that meshes with the spool shaft 12 ′ and one end of which meshes with the spool shaft 12 ′ so that it can be disengaged.
FIG. 2 shows a clutch shaft for slidably supporting the pinion sleeve 22 'by sliding the pinion sleeve 22' outwardly (opposite the spool side) by operating the clutch lever 23 so that the spool 12 is free. While allowing the yarn to be fed out, the pinion sleeve 22 'is automatically momentarily engaged with the spool shaft 12' by the return pin 24a, the yoke cam 24b, the crank 24c and the eyeglass cam 24d which operate in conjunction with the rotation of the switching gear 9. This is a so-called auto-return type clutch mechanism configured to return.

In the figure, reference numeral 25 is a level winder, and 26 is a microcomputer that accommodates a depth memory device described later.

Next, to describe how to use the fishing reel of the above example and its operation, when the motor 2 is started, the spool 12 rotates at a constant speed via the electric mechanism, the drive shaft 4, the master gear 10, the clutch mechanism, etc. The winding of the yarn is usually the same as that of this type of electric reel.

However, for example, when the electric mechanism is stopped due to a failure, or when the reel 12 is decelerated due to an excessive load such as when catching a large fish, the handle 19 is rotated at a higher speed. , Its rotational force pushes the switching gear 9 via the stopper 17 and is transmitted to the drive shaft 4, but its rotation is transmitted to the reduction gear side by the action of the roller clutch 5 interposed at one end of the shaft 4. Instead of being transmitted, the drive shaft is automatically switched to manual rotation and the drive shaft is rotated lightly, and the rotational force is transmitted to the suspension side.

However, because the overload of the above-mentioned yarn is removed and the rotation of the intermediate gear by the motor exceeds that of the handle,
The winding of the yarn is automatically switched to electric again.

Further, in the fishing reel of the present invention, the switching gear 9 and the master gear 10 are the outer ring 8 ″ of the bearing when electrically operated.
Since the inner rings 8 ′ and 8 ′ of each bearing and the manual shaft 14 fitted with them do not rotate, the grip ring 11 attached to the manual shaft also remains stationary, and the By operating the small ring, the pressing force of the inner ring 8'of the bearing 8 against the master gear 10 is adjusted to adjust the spool 12
It is possible to freely adjust the rotation torque of the.

Next, the spool stop mechanism in the fishing reel depth storage device will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the microcomputer 26 determines the rotation speed of the spool 12, that is, the winding amount or the payout amount of the line thread. A counting unit that appropriately counts through the sensor 27, a storage unit that stores the count value, a count value when re-feeding the road yarn and the above-mentioned stored value are compared and calculated, and a predetermined motor drive signal is output. It is composed of a central processing unit, a motor control unit for rotating the drive motor 2 by a certain amount according to the signal, and the like.
28 is a control panel equipped with operation buttons 28 ', etc.
29 indicates a power source such as a storage battery.

Then, when fishing, I wait for Uoshinobu while crimping around the fish rack, but when I wind up the line with fishin, I press the operation button 28 'in advance and start counting.
A normal winding operation by the motor 2 is performed, and the number of rotations of the spool (winding length of the road yarn) at the end of winding is stored in the storage unit.

Next, when setting the thread to the depth of the fish rack where there was the above fishery again, the spool 12 is set to the free state by the lever 23 and the thread is fed out, and the number of rotations at that time is counted to the previously stored numerical value. When it reaches, the central processing unit outputs a predetermined motor control signal to rotate the switching gear 9 through the motor 2 by a certain amount, the return pin 24a of the gear pushes the yoke cam 24b, and the eyeglass cam of the pinion sleeve 22 '. By opening 24d, the pinion sleeve 22 'elastically automatically returns to engage with the spool shaft 12', and the rotation of the spool is stopped to set the above-mentioned thread at a desired depth.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, in the fishing reel for both manual and electric use of the present invention, the spool 12 can be rotated by a mechanism that rotates faster, either manually or electrically by the action of the roller clutch, and its switching can be performed. In addition to the automatic handle, the manual shaft 14 and the grip ring 11 do not rotate together with the switching gear 9 etc. by the bearing 8, so that the grip ring can be operated by the grip ring at any time during electric winding. By controlling the rotation torque of the spool 12, it is possible to "exchange" with the fish.

Further, in the fishing reel of the present invention, of course, in deep sea fishing, the line thread can be accurately paid out to a desired depth, and the spool stop mechanism thereof is of an auto-return type immediately when the line thread reaches the memory depth. Since the clutch mechanism is activated to stop the free rotation of the spool, there is no need to provide an attachment mechanism that combines parts such as solenoids and cams as in the conventional case, and the structure is extremely simple. It is possible to achieve excellent effects that could not be expected in the conventional dual-purpose reel, such as reduction in size, weight, and overall size of the reel.
