Description

  The present invention relates to a reel system, and more particularly to an electric reel system including an electric reel.

  The electric reel is a reel that can rotate a spool by a motor. A conventional electric reel includes an operation unit that operates a motor and a display device that includes, for example, a liquid crystal display for water depth display. The display device displays the water depth of the device, the adjustment stage of the motor, the shelf position, and the like. When the display device is provided on the electric reel, the electric reel becomes larger and the weight increases. Thus, an electric reel provided with a display device outside the electric reel is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In the conventional electric reel, the display device is dedicated to the electric reel, and is connected to the electric reel by electric wiring.

JP 2002-27878 A

In the conventional electric reel, since the display device is provided separately from the electric reel, the electric reel can be reduced in size and weight. However, large-sized display device is fixed to the rod support further because the display device and the electric reel is connected by wire, operation and scope of the angler is limited.

It is an object of the present invention to prevent an angler's operation and its range from being restricted while reducing the size and weight of the electric reel in the electric reel system .

  The electric reel system according to the present invention includes an electric reel, a power feeding device, a communication unit, and a motor control unit. The electric reel includes a reel main body, a motor supported by the reel main body, a spool driven to rotate by the motor, a rotation detection unit that detects rotation of the spool, an operation unit that operates the motor, and display information from the detected rotation of the spool. A display information generation unit. The communication unit can wirelessly transmit display information to a general-purpose display device, and displays the display information only on the display device. The motor control unit can control the motor in accordance with the operation of the operation unit. The communication unit and the motor control unit are provided in at least one of the power feeding device and the electric reel.

  In this electric reel system, when the operation unit is operated, the motor is controlled by the motor control unit, and the spool rotates in the yarn winding direction. Further, the spool rotates in the yarn unwinding direction due to the weight of the device or the operation of the drag. Information about the rotation of the spool including the rotation and the rotation direction is detected by the rotation detection unit. Display information is generated from the detected rotation information, and the display information is transmitted to a general-purpose display device arbitrarily prepared by the angler via the communication unit, and the display information is displayed only by the general-purpose display device. As a general-purpose display device, for example, by using a communication terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet, and a wearable terminal that can communicate via the smart phone, the user can display display information without using a large fixed display device. Visible with a display device. Moreover, since the communication unit and the motor control unit are provided in at least one of the power feeding device and the electric reel, the electric reel can be further reduced in size and weight. Furthermore, since a general-purpose display device of any size prepared by the angler can be used, the electric reel is not connected to the large fixed display device by wire, and the operation and range of the angler are limited. There is nothing to do.

  The operation unit may include an operation member that is movably provided on the reel body, and a position detection unit that can detect a movement position of the operation member. In this case, the operation information of the motor can be transmitted to the display device via the communication unit based on the detection information of the position detection unit. For this reason, the movement position of the operation member can be visually recognized by the display device.

  The motor control unit may be provided on the side of the motor. In this case, the distance from the fishing rod of the reel body to the end portion away from the fishing rod becomes small, and the electric reel can be easily grasped together with the fishing rod.

  The power supply apparatus may include a power source and a cable connecting the power source and the electric reel. In this case, the electric reel can be operated anywhere.

  At least a part of the motor control unit may be provided in the cable. In this case, since it is not necessary to provide at least a part of the motor control unit on the electric reel, the electric reel can be further reduced in size and weight.

  At least a part of the motor control unit may be provided in the power source. In this case, since it is not necessary to provide at least a part of the motor control unit on the electric reel, the electric reel can be further reduced in size and weight.

  The motor control unit may include a motor drive unit that drives the motor by pulse width modulation and a drive control unit that controls the motor drive unit. In this case, the motor drive unit and the drive control unit can be arranged separately. In particular, in an electric reel, the motor reel that occupies a large volume is disposed outside the electric reel, so that the electric reel can be further reduced in size and weight. In addition, although the motor drive unit is likely to be hot, providing the motor drive unit outside the electric reel that is likely to come into contact with the outside air facilitates measures against heat generation of the motor drive unit.

  The motor drive unit may be provided on either the cable or the power source. In this case, since the motor drive unit is provided outside the electric reel, the electric reel can be further reduced in size and weight.

  The motor drive unit may be provided on the electric reel. In this case, the electric reel can be reduced in size by disposing the motor driving unit near the motor.

  The drive control unit may be provided on the electric reel. In this case, the motor drive unit and the drive control unit can be arranged on one circuit board. This eliminates the need for a signal line to the power supply device, and simplifies the cable configuration.

  The communication unit may be provided on the electric reel. In this case, a signal line to the communication unit becomes unnecessary, and the configuration of the cable is simplified.

  The communication unit may be provided in the power supply apparatus. In this case, the electric reel can be made of metal that is difficult to transmit radio waves but has high strength.

The position detection unit 20b outputs a rotation position that is a movement position of the operation member 20a from the sensor.

The control unit 22 is accommodated in one of the first side cover 38 and the second side cover 40. In the first embodiment, the control unit 22 is provided in the same side cover as the rotation detection unit 18, that is, in the first side cover 38 disposed on the side part of the motor 14. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the controller 22 is housed in a synthetic resin control case 50 fixed to a surface of the first side plate 34a facing the first side cover 38. The control unit 22 is configured by a microcomputer, for example. As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 22 includes a drive control unit 10a that is a part of the motor control unit 10 and a display information generation unit 22a. The drive control unit 10a and the display information generation unit 22a are functional configurations realized by software by the control unit 22 in the first embodiment. The motor control unit 10 includes a drive control unit 10a and a motor drive unit 10b. The motor drive unit 10b drives the motor 14 by pulse width modulation using the duty ratio.

  The drive control unit 10a performs duty control on the motor drive unit 10b according to the stage of the rotation position of the operation member 20a. Specifically, the drive control unit 10a divides the operation range of the operation member 20a into a plurality of stages (for example, 31 stages), and drives the motor in one of two control modes of a constant speed mode and a constant tension mode. The unit 10b can be controlled. In the constant speed mode, the rotation speed of the spool 16 can be set in a plurality of stages. In the constant tension mode, the tension acting on the fishing line can be set in a plurality of stages. The display information generation unit 22 a generates display information from the detection result of the rotation detection unit 18. Specifically, the yarn length fed out from the spool 16 is calculated from the number of rotations detected by the rotation detection unit 18, and the display information of the water depth of the device is generated.

  The power receiving unit 24 receives power for driving the motor 14 from the power feeding device 6. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the power receiving unit 24 includes a male connector 24 a provided between the first side cover 38 and the first side plate 34 a. For example, the male connector 24a can be detachably and electrically connected to the cable 6b of the power supply device 6, and a plurality of terminal pins (not shown) are provided therein.

  The power feeding device 6 includes a DC power source 6 a and a cable 6 b that electrically connects the power source 6 a and the electric reel 4. The cable 6b can be attached to and detached from the power source 6a and the power receiving unit 24, and can be electrically connected thereto. The cable 6b includes a female connector 6c that is electrically detachably connected to the male connector 24a of the power receiving unit 24, a pair of clips 6d that can be electrically connected to positive and negative terminals of the power source 6a, and a pair of clips for wiring. And a box 6e for distributing to 6d. Note that the power feeding device may be configured only by a power source that is detachably attached to the power receiving unit 24 of the electric reel 4.

  The communication part 8 is accommodated in the control case 50 with the control part 22, for example. The communication unit 8 converts the information related to the detection result of the rotation detection unit 18 into a signal and wirelessly transmits it to the display device DS. In addition, the communication unit 8 converts the operation position of the operation member 20a detected by the position detection unit 20b into a signal, and further wirelessly transmits it to the display device DS. The communication unit 8 transmits a signal conforming to the short-range wireless communication standard standardized by IEEE 802.15.1 or IEEE 802.15.4.

  In the electric reel system 2 configured in this way, before fishing, the cable 6b connected to the power source 6a is connected to the power receiving unit 24 to supply electric power to the electric reel 4.

  When the fishing line is fed out from the spool 16 by the clutch-off operation, the rotation detector 18 detects the rotation of the spool 16 in the line-feeding direction. A signal corresponding to this rotation is transmitted from the communication unit 8 to the display device DS, and the numerical value of the water depth display of the display device DS increases. When the clutch-on operation is performed, the fishing line feed is stopped, the rotation of the spool 16 is stopped, and the increase of the water depth display on the display device DS is stopped.

  When the operation member 20a is operated, the drive control unit 10a controls the motor drive unit 10b according to the rotation position of the operation member 20a, and the motor 14 rotates the spool 16 in the yarn winding direction. When the spool 16 rotates in the yarn winding direction, the rotation detection unit 18 detects the rotation of the spool 16, and the display information generation unit 22a calculates the yarn length and generates display information. The generated display information and the rotation position detected by the position detection unit 20b are signaled by the communication unit 8 and transmitted to the display device DS. This signal is received by the previously paired display device DS. In the display device DS, the rotation position and display information are displayed by an application, and the display information is displayed as at least one of a numerical value and a graphic. Further, the rotation position is displayed as at least one of a value (for example, a numerical value of 0-31) and a graphic. Here, the display information and the rotation position are wirelessly transmitted to the display device DS from the communication unit 8 and the information is displayed on the display device DS, so that the electric reel 4 can be reduced in size and weight. Furthermore, since display information and operation information can be displayed on a general-purpose display device DS of an arbitrary size already used by the angler, even if the display device DS is provided outside the electric reel 4, the operation of the angler and its operation Does not limit the range.
