Description

The present invention relates to a fishing reel.

(Prior Art) Recently, a fish finder mounted on a ship detects a water depth (referred to as a shelf) where a school of fish is present, and detects an amount of fishing line fed from a spool in order to cause the fishing line to hang down to the water depth. Are required, and the applicant of the present invention has already developed and filed an application (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 62-190417).
No. 59-117365). In the former, a fishing line is wound around the outer circumference, directly or indirectly abuts on the outer circumference of the rotating spool, and is rotatable with the rotation of the spool, and a rotating portion provided with a magnet near the outer peripheral edge, A plurality of Hall elements are provided close to the rotating part, and a plurality of Hall elements are provided on a surface facing the rotation, and a fixed part disposed at an asymmetric position with respect to the rotation center of the rotating part, and the Hall elements are sent from the Hall elements. Detecting means for processing the signal to detect the amount of fishing line paid out, and display means for displaying the amount of fishing line paid out detected by the detecting means. You can know if the tip has reached. The latter includes various parameters (spool diameter, total line winding amount, total number of rotations) determined by the number of spool rotations, the type of reel, and the number of fishing lines used.
, And the depth can be displayed in terms of the amount of fishing line pulled out.

In addition, JP-A-63-185332 and JP-A-60-244248
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H11-146, the number of rotations of the spool and the outermost diameter of the fishing line wound on the spool are measured, and the amount of reeling out of the fishing line is calculated from the measured value. The relationship between the number of rotations and the amount of payout of the fishing line from the spool is actually measured with respect to the number of rotations of the spool for each line diameter, and a relational expression between the number of rotations and the amount of payout is stored in advance. In some cases, the payout amount is calculated from the value.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional fishing reel has the following problems.

The person who handles the fish finder will indicate the depth of the shelf, but in that case if the distance below the surface of the water is indicated, the tip of the fishing line can be easily read to the shelf while reading the amount of fishing line with the above fishing reel. Can be drooped. However, in some regions, the depth of the shelf is indicated by the distance from the seabed.
In that case, once the tip of the fishing line reaches the seabed, measure the distance to the seabed with the amount of the fishing line fed out, and then wind up the fishing line, and determine the decrease in the feeding amount of the fishing line from the seabed to the fishing line tip. There is a problem that the operation is troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel which allows the distance from the water bottom to the tip of a fishing line to be easily read, and allows the shelf position once set to be constantly checked.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, in a fishing reel having a spool around which a fishing line is wound and rotated via a driving means, the length of the fishing line fed from the spool and the length of the fishing line wound on the spool are measured. Measuring means, first input means for inputting a signal indicating the start of winding of the fishing line from the bottom of the water,
The first to store the distance from the bottom to the tip of the fishing line
A storage area, second input means for inputting a signal indicating a shelf set, a second storage area for storing a water depth up to a shelf, and the distance or the second storage area stored in the first storage area. Display means for displaying the water depth stored in the second storage area, and when the signal is input from the first input means, the storage content of the first storage area is set to zero, and the measurement means from the time The distance from the water bottom of the tip of the fishing line to the water bottom is calculated based on the length of the fishing line fed out and the length of the wound fishing line measured through The distance stored in the first storage area and the distance stored in the first storage area are repeatedly displayed on the display means, and when the signal is input from the second input means, the time when the signal is input The fishing line payout length in Characterized by comprising a control means for displaying on the display means depth stored in the second storage area together it is stored in the second storage area as a depth of up to.

(Action) The action will be described.

The first input means clears the contents of the first storage area to zero when trying to wind the tip of the fishing line at the bottom of the water, and the measuring means measures the amount of the wound and unwound fishing line from that time on by the measuring means. Since the means obtains the distance from the water bottom to the tip of the fishing line, even if the water depth of the shelf is indicated by the distance from the water bottom, it is only necessary to read the displayed distance, and the shelving becomes easy. Further, when a signal indicating a shelf set is inputted from the second input means, the payout length of the fishing line at that time is stored in the second storage area as the water depth of the shelf and displayed on the second display means. It is possible to always check the shelf position.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the present embodiment, an electric reel using an electric motor as a driving means for rotating a spool will be described as an example of a fishing reel. It should be noted that the manual fishing reel using a known manual handle as the driving means has almost the same configuration except for the difference in the driving means, and therefore the description of the manual fishing reel is omitted.

 First, the configuration of the electric reel will be described with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an electric reel. A fishing line 14 is wound around a spool 12, and the spool 12 is rotatable in normal and reverse directions.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a contact roller which constitutes a measuring means, and its outer peripheral surface partially projects from the detection unit 16 so as to be able to contact the outer periphery of the spool 12 around which the fishing line 14 is wound. To ensure that the contact roller 18 abuts on the outer periphery of the spool 12, the end of the detection unit 16 on the contact roller 18 side is constantly urged toward the spool 12 by urging means (for example, a spring) not shown.
The contact roller 18 is provided rotatably about a shaft 20, and a bevel gear 22 is disposed on one end surface so as to be integrally rotatable.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a rotating unit constituting the measuring means, which is arranged rotatably about a shaft 32 connected to the main body. The shaft 32 penetrates the outer wall of the detection unit 16 and reaches the inside of the detection unit 16.
A magnet 34 is fixed near the periphery of one end face of the rotating unit 30. In addition, a bevel gear 28 is provided on the other end surface of the rotating unit 30 so as to be integrally rotatable. The gear ratio between the bevel gear 28 and the bevel gear 22 disposed on the end face of the contact roller 18 is 1: 1. The bevel gears 22 and 28 are
The shafts 36 rotatably arranged inside the detection unit 16 are connected via bevel gears 24 and 26 fixed to both ends.
Since the gear ratio between the bevel gears 24 and 26 is also 1: 1, the contact roller 18 and the rotating unit 30 can rotate at the same rotation speed.

Numeral 38 denotes a fixed part constituting the measuring means, which is provided on the main body so as to face the end face of the rotating part 30 where the magnet 34 is arranged. Two Hall elements H1 and H2 (may be reed switches) are fixed to the fixing unit 38, and constitute a rotation detection circuit (described later). Hall elements H1 and H2 are arranged in opposite rotating parts
It is arranged so as to be asymmetric with respect to 30 rotation centers.
The outputs of the Hall elements H1 and H2 become "0" when the magnet 34 approaches, and "1" when the magnet 34 separates (the reverse is also possible).

Reference numeral 40 denotes an electronic circuit portion, which is arranged in the main body and includes a Hall element.
This is a circuit module including a microprocessor (described later) that processes output signals from H1 and H2.

Reference numeral 42 denotes a display unit serving as a display means, which can display characters on an LCD. The lower portion 43 of the display section 42 can display the amount of the fishing line 14 paid out, that is, the current water depth at the tip (lower end) of the fishing line 14, in meters.
43 is called the depth counter). On the other hand, the distance from the water bottom to the lower end of the fishing line 14 can be displayed in meters on the upper stage 45 of the display unit 42 (hereinafter, the display of the upper stage 45 is referred to as a bottom counter). The bottom counter 45 displays the water depth of the set shelf in a normal use state (hereinafter referred to as a shelf mode), which will be described in detail later. When the bottom counter 45 is used, the first switch (described later) is pressed. In the case where the bottom mode is set to use the bottom counter 45 from the shelf mode, the "bottom mode"
Is displayed on the LCD, and the bottom counter 45 is also lit.

Reference numeral 49 denotes a first switch. When the switch is pressed in the shelf mode, the display unit 42 is converted to the bottom mode, and when pressed in the bottom mode, the display unit 42 is converted to the shelf mode.

Reference numeral 51 denotes a second switch which, when pressed, sends a signal indicating the start of winding of the fishing line 14 from the water bottom to the microprocessor of the electronic circuit section 40, and functions as a first input means.
In the case of the “shelf mode”, it functions as a second input unit as described later.

 Reference numeral 53 denotes other input switches.

Next, the electric system will be described with further reference to the block diagram of FIG.

The power supply 46 transforms the voltage sent from the generator of the ship to a predetermined voltage by a transformer, rectifies the voltage by a DC stabilizing circuit 48, and supplies power to an electric system through a regulator (not shown).

The signal from the rotation detection circuit 53 including the Hall elements H1 and H2 is amplified by the amplification circuit 50 and sent to the microprocessor 52 which also serves as a calculation means and a control means. Microprocessor
Reference numeral 52, which will be described in detail later, processes signals from the Hall elements H1 and H2, displays the processed signals on the display unit 42, and controls the number of rotations and the rotation direction of a motor 54 which is a driving unit for rotating the spool 12.

Reference numeral 55 denotes a RAM serving as storage means, which is a numerical value displayed on the water depth counter 43 obtained by the microprocessor 52 performing arithmetic processing from data obtained via the measurement means, a bottom counter 45.

Is stored in advance.

Next, detection of the feeding amount (length) and the winding amount (length) of the fishing line 14 by the measuring means will be described.

In FIG. 1, when the fishing line 14 is paid out, the spool 12
Rotates (forward rotation) in the direction in which the fishing line 14 is paid out. At this time, the detection unit 16 presses the contact roller 18 protruding from the detection unit 16 against the outer periphery of the spool 12 by urging means (not shown).
The contact roller 18 also rotates according to the rotation of 12. Contact roller 18
Is transmitted to the rotating unit 30 via the bevel gears 22, 24, 26, and 28. From the relationship of the gear ratio described above, the rotating unit 30 is
It rotates at the same speed as 18. Then, the magnet of the rotating part 30
34 passes over the Hall elements H1 and H2 as the rotating unit 30 rotates. At this time, the wall of the detection unit 16 is a magnet 34 and Hall elements H1, H2.
However, since the wall of the detection unit 16 is formed of a non-magnetic material, it does not block the magnetic field lines of the magnet 34, and
The outputs of H1 and H2 change each time the magnet 34 passes. Magnet 34
Are located far from the Hall elements H1 and H2, the outputs of the Hall elements H1 and H2 are H1 = "1" and H2 = "1". magnet
When 34 first passes through the Hall element H1, the output is H1 = "0",
H2 = "1". Further, when the magnet 34 passes through the Hall element H1 and approaches the Hall element H2, the output becomes H1 = "0" and H2 = "0".
Becomes Output is H1 = "0", H2 = "1" to H1 = "0", H2 =
When it becomes “0”, a phase difference occurs between the outputs of the Hall elements H1 and H2. Further, when the magnet 34 approaches and passes through the Hall element H2, the output becomes H1 = "1" and H2 = "0". When the magnet 34 leaves the Hall element H2, the output again becomes H1 = "1" and H2 = It becomes "1" and this state continues. The number of rotations of the contact roller 18 is obtained by counting the number of the series of cycles. Further, since the length of the outer periphery of the contact roller 18 is measured in advance and stored in the ROM 57, the amount of the fishing line 14 to be paid out is determined by the microprocessor 52 each time the contact roller 18 rotates once.
The display data is added to the length of the outer circumference of 18 and displayed on the display unit 42.
However, since the display on the display unit 42 is in units of 0.1 meter, the display changes every time the contact roller 18 rotates a predetermined number of times. To wind the fishing line 14, use the switch
A winding command is input from 53 to the microprocessor 52, the motor 54 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the spool 12 is rotated in the winding direction (reverse rotation). At this time, in order to display the amount of the fishing line 14 being unreeled from the spool 12, the product of the number of rotations of the abutting roller 18 in reverse rotation and the length of the outer circumference of the abutting roller 18 may be subtracted from the unreeling amount. If you want to know the take-up amount, you can also use the contact roller 18
What is necessary is just to obtain the product of the lengths of the 18 outer circumferences.

In actual fishing, the fishing line 14 may be alternately fed and wound from the spool 12. Therefore,
The spool 12 repeats normal rotation and reverse rotation. This spool
The detection of the rotation direction of 12 is performed, for example, in one cycle of the output of the Hall elements H1 and H2, H1 = "0", H2 = "1" → H1 =
When “0”, H2 = “0” → H1 = “1”, H2 = “0” are changed, it is determined that the rotation of the spool 12 is the normal rotation. On the other hand, when the spool 12 rotates in the reverse direction, the output of the Hall elements H1 and H2 is H1 = "1", H2 = "0" → H1 = "0" in one cycle.
H2 = “0” → H1 = “0”, the output pattern is the reverse of H2 = “1”. Therefore, the microprocessor 52 determines that the rotation of the spool 12 is the reverse rotation. Thus, the Hall elements H1, H2
The arrangement of the plurality of Hall elements is made asymmetrical with respect to the rotation center of the rotating unit 30 in order to determine the forward / reverse rotation by giving a change to the output pattern. If the Hall elements H1 and H2 are arranged at symmetrical positions with respect to the rotation center of the rotating unit 30, the output pattern becomes the same between the forward rotation and the reverse rotation, and it becomes impossible to distinguish between the forward rotation and the reverse rotation. It is.

Microprocessor that distinguishes between forward and reverse rotation of spool 12
The reference numeral 52 indicates that even if the feeding and winding of the fishing line 14 are alternately performed, the feeding and the winding amount of the fishing line 14 are alternately added and subtracted, so that the accurate feeding and winding amount of the fishing line 14 can be detected.

The feed amount of the fishing line 14 by the microprocessor 52,
The water depth counter 43 on the display unit 42 can be
And the numerical value to be displayed on the bottom counter 45 can be obtained by arithmetic processing.

Next, the operation of the electric reel 10 in the bottom mode will be described with further reference to the flowchart showing the operation of the microprocessor 52 of FIG. 3 and the explanatory diagram of FIG. In FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (e), the numerical values shown at the right end are the display values of the bottom counter 45 in the upper part, and the water depth counter in the lower part.
This is the display value of 43.

First, the state shown in FIG. 4 (a) is the state at the start of fishing,
The display unit 42 of the electric reel 10 is in a normal shelf mode. In this case, since the first switch 49 has not been pressed in step 102, a normal shelf mode routine (step 104) is executed, which will be described in detail later. That is, the microprocessor 52 constantly calculates the payout amount and the take-up amount of the fishing line 14, and displays the current feed amount of the fishing line 14, in other words, the water depth at the lower end of the fishing line 14 on the water depth counter 43.

The state shown in FIG. 4B is a state in which the lower end of the fishing line 14 has reached the water bottom 59, and the display unit 42 is in a shelf mode.

In the state shown in FIG. 4C, the lower end of the fishing line 14 is
, The fishing line 14 is wound up and the fishing line 14 is stretched. Although the fishing line 14 was slack in FIG. 4 (b), the correct depth of the water bottom 59, 54.1 meters, is displayed on the water depth counter 43 by winding up the slack. In this state, "Shelves 8 meters from the bottom 59"
The first switch 49 is pressed.

Then, the display unit 42 enters the bottom mode, so that the process enters a bottom mode routine in step 102. Bottom counter 45
Then, the character string 47 of "bottom mode" is turned on, and the first storage area (hereinafter, area A) of the numerical value to be displayed on the bottom counter of the RAM 55 is cleared (step 106). The state at this time is the state shown in FIG. It is to be noted that pressing the first switch 49 to enter the bottom mode (execution of step 106) may be performed between FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c).
This is because the water depth counter 43 performs the same operation in both the shelf mode and the bottom mode.

In FIG. 4 (d), the rotation is not detected in step 108 because the spool 12 is not rotating. Therefore,
In step 110, it is determined that there is no feeding of the fishing line 14, and the process proceeds to steps 120 and 122, but the values of the bottom counter 45 and the water depth counter 43 of the fishing line 14 do not change. When taking the shelf at the distance from the bottom 59 as indicated by the boatman, the second switch
By pressing 51, a signal indicating the start of winding of the fishing line 14 is input to the microprocessor 52. Then, it is determined in step 116 that the second switch 51 has been turned ON, and the area A of the RAM 55 is cleared to zero again (step 118). This is because after the first switch 49 is turned on, the second switch 49
This is to prevent a malfunction when the spool 12 rotates before the 51 is turned on and a certain numerical value enters the bottom counter 45. Thereafter, if the second switch 51 is not pressed (if the second switch 51 is kept pressed), the bottom mode processing routine that returns from step 116 to step 108 is repeated. That is, when the fishing line 14 is wound, the process goes from step 110 to step 120, and the amount of the wound fishing line 14 from the time when the second switch 51 is turned on is added to the value of the area A of the RAM 55, That number is the bottom counter
Appears on 45. Further, the water depth counter 43 displays a numerical value reduced by the amount added to the bottom counter 45 (step 122). However, in actual fishing, the fishing line 14 is fed out and wound up alternately, so that even when taking a shelf from the water bottom 59, the fishing line 14 may be fed out for adjustment. In that case, the process goes from step 110 to step 112, where the value of the bottom counter 45 is subtracted by the amount of the extension, and the value of the water depth counter 43 is added and displayed. FIG. 4 (e) shows a state in which the shelf 8 m is taken from the water bottom in this way.
Shown in The distance D between the lower end of the fishing line 14 and the water bottom 59 is equal to the bottom counter 45.
Is 8 meters.

Although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, when the first switch 49 is pressed in the bottom mode, a forced interrupt becomes possible, and the mode of the display unit 42 is returned to the shelf mode.

Next, the operation of the electric reel 10 in the normal state, that is, the operation in the shelf mode will be described.

In the shelf mode, the set water depth of the shelf is displayed on the bottom counter 45 at the upper stage of the display unit 42 shown in FIG. 1 (hereinafter, the numerical display at the upper stage is referred to as a shelf counter). In the electric reel 10, the value of the water depth counter 43 is 10 in the shelf mode.
If the distance is equal to or more than meters and the value is within ± 5 meters of the value of the shelf counter, a buzzer (not shown) sounds to notify that the user has approached the shelf. The method of setting the shelf on the shelf counter will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of the display unit 42. To enter the shelf mode, the first switch 49 is pressed to select the mode as described above. When entering the shelf mode, the character string 47 switches from the “bottom mode” to the “shelf mode”. At that time, the upper counter of the display unit 42 becomes the shelf counter 61. The lower counter is also a water depth counter 43.

Next, the operation of the microprocessor 52 will be described.

In FIG. 6, when the first switch 49 is pressed (step 200), a second storage area (hereinafter, referred to as area B) for storing the water depth of the shelf in the RAM 55, and then for updating the value of the shelf as the value of the shelf. A storage area for storing the candidate value (hereinafter, referred to as area C) and flags 1 and 2 are cleared to zero (step 202). Then, "shelf mode" is displayed in the character string 47 (step 204), and initialization is performed. The microprocessor 52 checks that the payout amount of the fishing line 14 exceeds 10 meters (step 206). This 10-meter check is performed because the feed amount of 10 meters is a suitable value to be regarded as a "threshold" for determining whether or not fishing is being performed. Is provided, the number of switches of the electric reel 10 can be reduced, and operability can be improved.

Step if the amount of fishing line 14 is less than 10 meters
From 220, go to steps 222 and 224, display zero on the shelf counter 61, return to step 206, and repeat until it exceeds 10 meters. If it exceeds 10 meters in step 206, it is determined in step 208 whether the second switch 51 has been pressed. In the shelf mode, the second switch 51
ON is the signal for the shelf set. If the second switch 51 is not depressed, the process proceeds to step 216, and as will be described in detail later, after performing the sampling process (step 218),
Return to 06 and wait for the second switch 51 to be turned on. Step 208
When the lower end of the fishing line 14 reaches the desired shelf and the second switch 51 is turned on, the value of the water depth counter 43 is entered in the area B (step 210). Then, the value of area B is stored in shelf counter 6
A light is displayed at 1 (step 212). Thereby, the value of the shelf is set. This manner of shelf setting is called a forced shelf set. When the forced shelf setting is performed, 1 is set to the flag 1 (step 214), and the process returns to step 206. And flag 1
If the fishing line has been paid out for more than 10 meters, a step 1 will be executed unless a new forced shelf set is executed.
The process proceeds from step 208 to step 216, returns to step 206 without performing the sampling process (step 218), and prepares for the next forced shelf set.

The electric reel 10 also has a function of a selection shelf set in addition to the forced shelf set. This function, from the shelf once set,
When there is a possibility of moving to a shelf at another water depth, the water depth likely to become the new shelf is sampled and stored in advance as a candidate value. FIG. 7 shows the sampling process (step 218). The value of the water depth counter 43 is 10 meters or more and the deepest value is put into the area C as a candidate value. If there is a shelf stopped for more than 5 seconds, the water depth of the shelf is put into the area C as a candidate place in preference to the deepest value. If there are a plurality of shelves that have been stopped for 5 seconds or more, the last shelf may be used as the candidate value. The selection shelf set will be described.

When performing the selection shelf set, wind the fishing line 14 once,
Set the value of the depth counter 43 to less than 10 meters. At this time, the value set in the previous forced shelf set is input to area B. The fishing line 14 is paid out for the next fishing. When the value of the water depth counter 43 reaches 10 meters, an interrupt (not shown) occurs and the flag 1 = 0. Therefore the second switch
Unless the button 51 is pressed, sampling processing (step 218) is performed through steps 208 to 216 (see FIG. 7). The microprocessor 52 determines whether or not the water depth counter 43 has stopped for 5 seconds or more by using a built-in clock (step 300). If there is a shelf that has stopped for 5 seconds or more, the microprocessor 52 sets 1 to the flag 2 (step 300). 308), put the water depth of the shelf into area C as a candidate value (step 306), and step 206
Return to If there is no shelf stopped for 5 seconds or more in step 300, the process proceeds from step 302 to step 304, and it is determined whether the current water depth indicated by the water depth counter 43 is the maximum value (step 304). The determination of the deepest value is made by comparing with the value stored in the area storing the deepest value of the water depth counter 43 pre-allocated to the RAM 55. In addition,
This deepest value is also cleared once the value of the water depth counter 43 becomes less than 10 meters and exceeds 10 meters again. If it is determined in step 304 that the current water depth is the deepest value, the value of the water depth (the deepest value) is stored in the area C.
(Step 306). Even if the deepest value is updated, if there is a shelf that has been stopped for 5 seconds or more before that, the flag 2 is set to 1 in step 308, so the process jumps to step 302 and returns to step 206. The deepest value does not enter the area C as a candidate value.

Then, when the depth counter 43 becomes less than 10 meters,
Go from step 206 to step 220. At this time, since the flag 1 has been set to 0 by the above-described interrupt, the process proceeds to step 222. At step 222, the microprocessor 52 determines whether to use the value of the forced shelf set stored in the area B as the next shelf, or whether to perform sampling processing and use the candidate value stored in the area C as the next shelf. In order to make the user judge, the value of the area C which is a candidate value is blinked on the shelf counter 61. If the user determines that the shelf set in the forced shelf set is sufficient, nothing is done. Then step 22
When the predetermined time has elapsed in step 4, the process returns to step 206, where the shelf counter
61 turns on the value of area B (step 232). on the other hand,
In step 222, the user presses the second switch 51 to make the candidate value of the area C the next shelf.
Then, the process goes from step 224 to step 226 to update the value of area B to the value of area C. Then, 1 is set to the flag 1 (step 228), and the value of the area B is displayed on the shelf counter 61 as the value set on the shelf (step 230). This makes it possible to selectively set the next shelf.

As described above, various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
Of course, many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, for example, as described in the conventional example, the payout amount of the fishing line or the like may be calculated from the rotational speed of the spool.

(Effect of the Invention) When the fishing reel according to the present invention is used, the distance between the water bottom and the end of the fishing line (lower) can be read on the display unit. Even when the fishing is performed, the fishing line can be easily adjusted to the shelf. Further, when a signal indicating a shelf set is inputted from the second input means, the payout length of the fishing line at that time is stored in the second storage area as the water depth of the shelf and displayed on the second display means. The position of the shelf can be checked at any time, and the position of the shelf can be known at a glance even during winding or feeding of the fishing line. Therefore, it is also possible to inform a person fishing together with a position on the side where he can fish well during fishing.
