  In this embodiment, a drive motor 8 (see FIG. 4) is held between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B on the front side of the spool 7, and the spool 7 is operated to wind the manual handle 6 and to rotate the drive motor 8. Thus, it is rotationally driven in the direction of winding the fishing line via the power transmission mechanism 10 (see FIG. 4).

  The drive motor 8 may be configured to be installed inside the spool 7. However, as shown in the present embodiment, the drive motor 8 is installed in front of the spool 7, so that the reel 7 can be secured while securing the amount of winding of the spool 7. The main body 5 can be made as compact as possible.

  The power transmission mechanism 10 has a function of reducing the rotational driving force of the drive motor 8 and transmitting it to the spool 7 side (performed by the speed reduction mechanism 12 and the transmission belt 13 (see FIG. 4)), and the drive motor 8 rotates. It can be constituted by a publicly known device having a function of not rotating the manual handle 6 even when driven, a function of preventing reverse rotation of the manual handle 6 (including the ratchet 14 (see FIG. 5)), and the like. Further, such a power transmission mechanism 10 may be disposed on the left side plate 5A side, may be disposed on the right side plate 5B side, or is allocated to each of the left and right side plates. May be.

  In FIG. 4, reference numeral 16 denotes a handle shaft coupled to the handle 6, reference numeral 18 denotes a drive gear rotatably supported by the handle shaft 16, and reference numeral 20 denotes a pinion that meshes with the drive gear 18. These constitute the power transmission mechanism 10 described above. Also, in FIG. 4, reference numeral 21 denotes a known drag mechanism that applies a drag force to the rotation of the spool 7 when the fishing line is fed out from the spool 7 during fishing, and between the reel body 5 and the handle 6. Is provided with a star-shaped drag adjustment knob (star drag) 22 for adjusting the drag force by the drag mechanism 21.

  Between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B in front of the spool 7, a known level wind mechanism 23 (see FIG. 5) having a function of winding the fishing line evenly around the spool 7 is installed. In addition, in the present embodiment, in this embodiment, a box-shaped control case 102 containing a control unit for controlling the drive motor 8 is disposed above the spool 7 between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B constituting the reel body 5. Is arranged. In this case, the control case 102 only needs to be disposed on the top of the reel body 5, and may be configured to be flush with the surfaces of the left and right side plates 5A and 5B constituting the reel body 5, or the left and right side plates 5A and 5B. The structure mounted in the upper surface of this may be sufficient.

  The control unit accommodated in the control case 102 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that controls the operation of the fishing electric reel, various programs and setting information for measuring the yarn length and variably controlling the output of the drive motor. Including a ROM (Read Only Memory) storing a memory, a control board (microcomputer) mounted with a RAM (Random Access Memory) as a temporary storage area, and a circuit board mounted with various drive circuits. Signals are transmitted to and received from each operating element to control the operation.

  A known clutch mechanism 30 (see FIG. 5) is arranged in the reel body 5 to move the spool 7 between the fishing line winding state and the free rotation state by moving the pinion 20 in the axial direction. The clutch mechanism 30 has a function of interposing / disconnecting power transmission from the manual handle 6 and the drive motor 8 by being interposed in the power transmission mechanism 10, and is installed on the right side plate 5B side in this embodiment. The clutch plate 31 constituting the clutch mechanism 30 is engaged with a clutch OFF switching member 32 that switches power transmission from the ON state to the OFF state, and a clutch ON switching member 33 that switches power transmission from the OFF state to the ON state. Yes.

  The clutch OFF switching member 32 in the present embodiment is configured to be bridged between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B on the rear side of the spool 7 so that the spool 7 can be operated while summing it. From this state, the clutch mechanism 30 is switched from the ON state to the OFF state by placing a thumb on the operation portion 32a on the surface and pushing it downward. The clutch OFF switching member 32 is distributed and held between a clutch ON position and a clutch OFF position (not shown) shown in FIG. 5 by a distribution holding spring 35 engaged with the clutch plate 31.

Further, the clutch ON switching member 33 in the present embodiment is installed on the right side plate 5B side, and is distributed and held by the distribution holding spring 35 so as to be swingable between the clutch ON position and the clutch OFF position. Yes. In this case, the clutch ON switching member 33 is substantially flush with the surface of the right side plate 5B in the clutch ON state as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, and protrudes from the surface of the right side plate 5B in the clutch OFF state. It is like that. The clutch ON switching member 33 can be easily turned ON from the state where the fishing line wound on the spool 7 is summing operated on the abdomen of the thumb (the thumb reaches the rear end side of the left side plate). It is preferable that it is installed on the side slightly behind the wound fishing line.
In addition, the clutch ON switching member 33 may be configured by an electric type (for example, using a solenoid) in addition to the mechanical type that is swung as described above. The clutch OFF switching member 32 and the integral member may be used.

  The reel body 5 is provided with a power feeding unit 38 for supplying power to the drive motor 8. The power supply unit 38 is formed in a lower surface region on the front side of the left side plate 5A. A removable portable battery (not shown) is attached to the power supply unit 38 or placed on the feet. A power supply cord supplied with power from a battery or a power supply unit installed on a fishing boat is attached.

  Further, the control case 102 of the present embodiment has a rotating shaft (above the spool 7, the driving motor 8 being disposed outside the spool 7 in the present embodiment as the rotating shaft). The shaft corresponds, but in another form in which the drive motor 8 is arranged inside the spool 7, the spool shaft does not exist, so the rotation shaft of the motor 8 corresponds to the vicinity of the level wind mechanism 23 and the drive motor 8. It has a large size.

  An operation member 40 that adjusts the output of the drive motor 8 is disposed between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B above the spool 7 (in this embodiment, at the rear portion of the control case 102). The operation member 40 may be supported so as to be rotatable above the spool 7, and specifically, it may be positioned above the range of the flange of the spool 7 in the front-rear direction.

  The operation member 40 according to the present embodiment is disposed along the rear end edge 102a of the control case 102, and is slidable along the main body shaft 42 and the main body shaft 42 that are rotatably supported between the left and right side plates. And a substantially cylindrical operation portion 45 held by the main body shaft 42. In this case, the main body shaft 42 is disposed substantially parallel to the spool shaft of the spool 7, whereby the operation portion 45 is exposed also on the spool 7 side in the front-rear direction (plan view shown in FIG. 1). And it is comprised so that rotation operation can be performed toward an up-down direction (back view shown in FIG. 3). The main body shaft 42 may have a configuration in which a recessed portion is formed forwardly on the rear end edge 102a of the control case 102 and is rotatably supported with respect to the control case 102. Or the structure which arrange | positions the member different from a control case, and supports rotatably with respect to the member may be sufficient.

  The operation part 45 of the operation member 40 is configured to be rotated (in a rolling manner) in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction by pressing a finger against the surface portion, and serves as a dial-like operation part. A function is provided (hereinafter, the operation unit of the present embodiment is referred to as a dial operation unit). In this case, the axial length L (see FIG. 6) of the dial operating portion 45 is set so that the thumb is applied from the lower side (from the surface of the spool) and can be easily turned up and down or pressed from the upper side. Thus, it is preferably about 3 to 15 mm so that it can be easily rotated in the front-rear direction. Moreover, in such a structure, it is preferable to form the unevenness | corrugation 45a etc. which continue in the circumferential direction on the surface of the dial operation part 45, and, thereby, can rotate operation, without sliding the applied finger | toe Can be performed easily and stably.

  Further, the substantially cylindrical shape constituting the dial operation unit 45 is a concept including a solid inside or a part having a hollow part in whole or in part. As for the outer shape, not only an accurate cylindrical shape but also an unevenness 45a as shown in the figure (for example, FIG. 6) or a protrusion (not shown) capable of pressing a finger is formed. It may be. Alternatively, it may be provided with an outer shape such that the middle part in the axial direction bulges or is depressed, such that the abdomen of the thumb can abut in the axial direction and can be rotated. Further, the rotating surface of the dial operation unit 45 may protrude from the surface of the control case 102 or may be substantially flush.

  The operation member 40 is configured such that the dial operation unit 45 can slide along the main body axis 42, and the position of the dial operation unit 45 can be displaced between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B (the dial operation unit 45 is located between the left and right side plates). Can be installed at any position. In this case, in the operation member 40 of the present embodiment, the main body shaft 42 and the dial operation unit 45 are provided with a moderation mechanism, and the dial operation unit 45 can slide with respect to the main body shaft 42 with moderation. Note that “displaceable” here means that the part that is actually operated by a finger to adjust the output of the drive motor can be set to a desired position (arbitrary position) between the left and right side plates. Further, moderation means a fixed state in which movement is possible, that is, a fixed state in which the position in the axial direction is fixed and can be moved by applying a force in the axial direction.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the moderation mechanism includes a tooth row 43 formed on the upper end surface of the main body shaft 42 over almost the entire length of the main body shaft 42, and the dial operation unit 45 side. Each pin of the tooth row 43 is provided with a pin 52 that can be elastically engaged by a spring 50. In this case, the spring 50 is housed in a housing hole 47b provided in the cylindrical operation portion main body 47 of the dial operation portion 45 in a radial direction, and one end of the spring 50 is fitted on the outer periphery of the operation portion main body 47. The pin 52 is fixedly attached to the other end of the spring 50.

  Thereby, the pin 52 is elastically biased toward the tooth bottom of each tooth of the tooth row 43 and is engaged with the gap 49 between the teeth in an elastically detachable manner. That is, when the dial operation unit 45 is slid in the axial direction of the main body shaft 42 (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 7B), the pin 52 is continuously engaged with and disengaged from each tooth of the tooth row 43. Accordingly, the dial operation unit 45 can be slid with respect to the main body shaft 42 with a moderation, and the dial operation unit 45 can be moved to the main body shaft 42 at an arbitrary axial engagement position between the pin 52 and the tooth row 43. On the other hand, it can be fixed at an arbitrary position, and the position changing operation can be easily performed.

  The operation portion main body 47 constituting the dial operation portion 45 has flat portions 47a and 47a facing each other substantially in parallel with each other on both sides of the inner surface, and these flat portions 47a and 47a are provided on both sides of the main body shaft 42. By being fitted on the outer periphery of the main body shaft 42 in a state of being opposed to the flat portions 42 a formed on the outer surface of the main body 42, the rotation is prevented from rotating with respect to the main body shaft 42. It has become. Moreover, the cover 48 fitted on the outer periphery of the operation unit main body 47 forms the surface of the dial operation unit 45 and has the above-described unevenness 45a on its outer surface.

  Further, in the reel main body (on the left side plate side in the present embodiment), a detecting means for detecting the operation angle of the main body shaft 42 of the operation member 45, specifically, an angle sensor 110 is installed. An operation position signal corresponding to the rotation position is output. That is, the angle sensor 110 outputs an operation signal according to the operation position of the dial operation unit 45, and the drive motor 8 outputs the output based on the operation signal (according to the operation position of the dial operation unit 45). It is possible to adjust. The angle sensor 110 only needs to have a function of generating a signal corresponding to the operation angle of the dial operation unit 45 (main body shaft 42). For example, the resistance sensor 110 has a resistance value corresponding to the operation amount of the main body shaft 40. Various structures, such as those equipped with potentiometers that output changes, those equipped with magnets to detect changes in the magnetic field according to the rotational position, and those equipped with encoders that generate pulses according to the operation amount It is possible to apply.

  Further, as described above, the control case 102 accommodates a control unit that controls driving of the drive motor 8, and adjusts the output of the drive motor 8 in accordance with the amount of rotation operation of the dial operation unit 45. It is like that. In this case, the control unit is set so that the output of the drive motor 8 is increased by turning the dial operation unit 45 forward. As a result, an operation that frequently turns off the clutch and outputs the fishing line, and turns on the clutch and winds the fishing line, for example, an operation that removes the bottom with tension applied to the mechanism (generally speaking near the sea floor). In bottom fishing, the operation of adjusting the amount of line feed according to the water depth) is performed by extending the thumb as it is and pushing up the dial operation part 45, so that the fishing line can be wound up instantly. It becomes possible to improve the operability.

  The relationship between the amount of rotation operation of the dial operation unit 45 and the output of the drive motor 8 is arbitrary. For example, a predetermined reference position of the dial operation unit 45 may be set to zero when the motor output value is zero, and the motor output is set to Max when the dial is rotated about 120 ° forward. Of course, the output of the drive motor 8 may be set to increase when the dial operation unit 45 is rotated backward.

  On the surface of the control case 102, there is provided a display unit (liquid crystal display unit) 120 for displaying the length of fishing line (line length information) and the like, and various information can be set around the display unit. A plurality of operation buttons 121a and 121b are provided. The operation buttons 121a and 121b receive various types of information from the angler, such as depth information for stopping the input mechanism at a desired depth and output range setting information for changing the variable range of the output of the drive motor 8. It has a function.

  As described above, in the fishing electric reel 1 of this embodiment, the position of the dial operation portion 45 of the operation member 40 that adjusts the output of the drive motor 8 can be displaced between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B. The angler can set the dial operation unit 45 at a desired position between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B. That is, even if the angler rents or rents fishing equipment (reel) between the anglers, even if the angler rents or rents the fishing tackle (reel) between the anglers, the dial operation unit 45 is in an optimal position. Since it can be set, an electric fishing reel with good operability for all anglers can be obtained.

  Further, even if the fishing reel is a small type electric fishing reel that can be held by hand such as gripping the reel main body 5 while holding the fishing rod with one hand and performing a summing operation of the spool 7, the operation member 40 is provided with a spool. 7 Since the upper left and right side plates 5A and 5B are rotatably supported, it is easy for all anglers to perform such operations, and the position of the dial operation unit 45 can be changed. Sex can be obtained.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing a modification of the operation member 40 shown in FIG. The operation member 40A of this modification has a configuration in which the dial operation unit 45 is provided with a lever-shaped lever operation unit 60 protruding radially outward from the outer surface thereof.

By providing such a lever operation unit 60, it is possible to operate the lever operation unit 60 by picking it with a finger, and it is possible to easily grasp the rotational position of the operation member 40 during actual fishing. Note that the operation portion of the operation member is not limited to the dial operation portion 45 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 and the lever operation portion 60 is formed in the dial operation portion 45 as shown in FIG. You may comprise as a lever operation part. Alternatively, both sides of the lever operation unit 60 may be used as a dial operation unit, or the surface of the main body shaft 42 itself may have a function as a dial operation unit that can be rotated.
By doing so, it is possible to improve the operability of the operation member and to easily grasp the current rotation position of the operation member.
