DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention allows a rotating body for winding a fishing line to freely rotate in a fishing line payout direction by setting the rotation line at an allowable rotation position, and sets the fishing line of the rotating body at a rotation preventing position by setting the rotation line at a rotation preventing position. A rotation control unit configured to prevent rotation in the unwinding direction, a measuring unit that measures the length of the fishing line unwound from the rotating body, and a predetermined amount of fishing line unwound from the rotating body by the measuring unit. The present invention relates to an improvement in a fishing reel provided with control means for driving an actuator so as to switch the rotation control section to a rotation preventing position when the rotation is measured.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fishing reel constructed as described above is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-150228. In this conventional example, a rotation control section is constituted by a clutch mechanism. And the clutch sliding plate to be disengaged is spring-biased to the side where the clutch is engaged.
A clutch switching plate for engaging and holding the clutch sliding plate at the clutch disengagement position; and an electromagnetic solenoid type actuator for operating the clutch switching plate in a disengagement direction. When it is measured that the amount of fishing line fed from the spool (rotating body) reaches a predetermined value, the engagement of the clutch sliding plate is released by driving the actuator, and the clutch mechanism is engaged. (Hereinafter, this operation is referred to as automatic shelf stop).

[0003]

Considering this conventional example, if the actuator is driven at the timing when the amount of fishing line fed from the spool reaches a predetermined value, the work in progress is limited to the depth of the shelf. When it reaches, there is no need to artificially set the clutch to the entry side, etc., and it has a good surface that shelves can be taken without bothering the angler, but the conventional fishing reel has a work in progress. Since the actuator was operated only at the timing when the depth of the shelf was reached, for example, when the power supply voltage of the actuator is falling, or when the frictional resistance of the movable part is increasing, only one drive is required. There is room for improvement because the clutch mechanism cannot be operated because it cannot be operated. If the angler does not notice that automatic shelves cannot be stopped in this way, the mechanism continues to descend further than the depth of the shelf, which not only necessitates the need to artificially operate the clutch mechanism, It becomes necessary to take shelves newly by the winding operation. An object of the present invention is to rationally configure a fishing reel that reliably stops an automatic shelf.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As described at the outset, a feature of the present invention comprises a rotation control unit, a measurement unit, and a control unit for driving an actuator to switch the rotation control unit to a rotation prevention position. In the fishing reel, the rotation control unit includes a sensor that detects that the rotation control unit is at a rotation allowable position. After the measurement unit measures the feeding of a predetermined amount of fishing line from the rotating body, the rotation control unit uses the sensor to detect the rotation of the rotation control unit. It is provided with a re-driving means for driving the actuator again when it is detected that the actuator is at the rotation allowable position. The operation and effect are as follows.

[0005]

When the above features are configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, for example, after the amount of fishing line fed from the rotating body 2 reaches a predetermined value and the control means 38 drives the actuator 37, the sensor 44 When the rotation control unit 9 detects that the rotation control unit 9 is set to the rotation allowable position, the re-driving unit T drives the actuator 37 again. For example, the rotation control unit 9 is moved to the rotation prevention position by driving the actuator 37 once. Even if the setting cannot be made, the rotation control unit 9 can be set to the rotation preventing position by re-driving the actuator 37, and if the setting is performed in this way, the re-driving is not performed based on the detection result of the sensor 44. That is,
In the present invention, when the voltage of the power supply of the actuator 37 is reduced, the actuator 37 is driven a plurality of times even if the frictional resistance of the movable part is increased and it is difficult to switch the rotation control unit 9 to the rotation preventing position. Therefore, the certainty of switching the rotation control unit 9 to the rotation preventing position is improved.

[0006]

As a result, a fishing reel for stopping the automatic shelves relatively reliably is reasonably constructed.

The ratchet mechanism R includes a ratchet wheel 13, a ratchet pawl 14, A switching lever 15 for switching the attitude of the ratchet pawl 14 is provided. If the attitude of the ratchet pawl 14 is set so that engagement with the ratchet wheel 13 is permitted, the rotation only in the winding direction of the handle 4 is performed. The operation is allowed, and the spool 2 can be driven in the winding direction by the electric motor 6 described later.
When the posture is set to be apart from the spool 3, the spool 2 can be freely rolled, and at the same time, the electric motor 6 cannot drive the spool 2 in the winding direction.

The planetary reduction mechanism B includes a first sun gear 16 directly connected to the output shaft 6A of the electric motor 6, a first planetary gear 17 meshing with the first sun gear 16, and a carrier 18 of the first planetary gear 17.

The level wind mechanism A includes a thread guide 23 which reciprocates while being guided by a guide rod 22 by the rotation of a screw shaft 21. The level wind mechanism A is linked to the rotation of the spool 2. A plurality of intermediate gears 25 are interposed between the input gear 21A of the screw shaft 21 and the output gear 24 integrally formed with the spool 2 so as to be driven.

The clutch member 9 is slidably supported by the shafts 8 and 28, and is configured to be able to move the clutch member 9 toward the engagement position by the urging force of the compression springs 29 and 29 fitted to the shafts 28 and 28. The side case 1 is provided with a clutch lever 31 that slides the cam plate 27 via the pin 30. The clutch lever 31 is acted on by a biasing force of a coil spring 32 that operates the cam plate 27 toward the entrance side of the clutch mechanism C. Let me do it.

The intermediate member 33 has a stepped shape of the cam plate 27. An engaging portion 33A that engages with the portion 27B and a contact portion 33B that is pressed by a contact pin 35 erected on the ratchet wheel 13 are formed. Further, the intermediate member 33 is oriented in the engaging direction. A spring 36 for swinging operation is also provided.

The operation system composed of the contact pin 35 and the contact portion 33B is provided so that the angler can turn the handle 4 in the winding direction when the fishing line is being fed by the free rolling of the spool 2. By doing so, the clutch mechanism C is engaged and operated at an arbitrary timing. An electromagnetic solenoid 37 is provided inside the right side case 1 as an actuator for swinging the intermediate member 33 in the disengagement direction. The electromagnetic solenoid 37 is rotated by the spool 2 by free rotation. When the length of the fishing line fed from the reel reaches a predetermined length, the control case 5
