Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to the improvement of an electric reel that has a function of automatically stopping the rotation of the spool when the thread is fed out to a predetermined depth. This relates to an electric reel that has a function of changing the speed by a simple operation.

[Conventional technology]

Generally speaking, electric reels for boat fishing often require the line to be reeled out several hundred meters, and in the past, reeling out the line to the fish shelf at the desired depth required skill. In this case, the only way to estimate the number of rotations of the spool was based on the amount of thread remaining on the spool, which was difficult and not accurate at all.

Therefore, when the line is let out and hits the fish rack, the depth is memorized, and when the line is fed out again after being wound up, when the line reaches the memorized depth, the spool is automatically adjusted. rotation stops,
An electric reel has been developed that can secure the position of the warm fish shelf (Patent Application No. 1983-94348).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the above-mentioned conventional electric reel, once you memorize the depth, you can reel out the line to the same depth as many times as you want, even if you wind it up, but once you reach that depth, you can continue from there. If you need to go up or down several tens of meters, you cannot change the depth automatically and instantly, and if you want to change the depth you have to do it manually, relying on the intuition of traditional anglers. Alternatively, it was necessary to unwind all the threads once, then let them out again, stop the feeding when the desired depth was reached, and then memorize the depth. However, once the fish shelf is determined, it does not remain constant; it constantly changes slightly, and according to various devices such as fish finders installed on modern ships, it is possible to change the depth from the currently set depth. It is possible to instantly measure whether a more appropriate depth can be secured by moving the reel up or down by a meter, but conventional electric reels cannot respond to this immediately, which is very inconvenient for the user. Furthermore, if the position of the boat is changed many times in order to find the best fish shelf, the depth setting described above must be repeated each time, which puts an extra burden on the angler and makes it difficult to concentrate. This was becoming a hindrance to enjoying fishing.

The present invention is an attempt to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional example, and it is possible to extremely easily reset the depth without having to unwind the line under any conditions. To provide an electric reel capable of forcibly stopping the rotation of a spool when the thread reaches a payout start position or a stored depth.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention has the following features:
means for detecting the amount of thread being fed out; means for calculating and storing the amount of thread being fed out starting from a predetermined position; means for changing the stored amount by increasing or decreasing it using a switch; means for storing the changed amount, and means for forcibly stopping the rotation of the spool by controlling the solenoid according to the signal A generated when the thread reaches a predetermined starting position or the stored amount. The configuration is equipped with the following.

[Effect]

The means for detecting the amount of yarn being let out detects how many meters the yarn has been let out from the start position and inputs it to the calculation means, and after being subjected to calculation processing, it is stored by operating a switch. The means for changing the stored amount is to display the once stored amount on a display device and use an increase switch or a decrease switch to change the stored amount. The amount can be changed.

Next, when the thread reaches a predetermined starting position or a memorized amount by the payout amount detection means, a control signal A is output, which activates the relay and causes current to flow through the solenoid. The rotation of the spool is forcibly stopped by magnetic force.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 indicates an external power source such as a battery, and 2 indicates when a current exceeding a specified voltage is applied from the external power source.
A safety circuit for interrupting this, 3 is a drive circuit for driving the motor of the electric reel, and 4 is a motor.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a detection circuit that detects the amount of thread being fed out due to the rotation of the spool 6, and detects the magnet built into the spool 6 using a Hall element, or detects the rotation of the roller that presses the thread. This is done by capturing it with a counter etc. Reference numeral 7 denotes a driver circuit, which drives the arithmetic processing circuit 8 appropriately. Reference numeral 9 is a display for displaying the computed amount of thread being fed out, etc.; 10 is a group of switches for various operations of the electric reel; and 11 is a display that performs calculations when the predetermined starting position or the memorized amount of thread being fed is reached. This is a solenoid that causes a current to flow in response to the signal A output from the processing circuit 8, and forcibly stops the rotation of the spool 6 using a strong magnetic force.
In order to miniaturize the device, the arithmetic processing circuit 8 usually uses a CPU, and the display 9 uses a liquid crystal display so that it can display even a small current, but it is also possible to use a phototube or the like for nighttime use. be.

In the above circuit, means for calculating and storing the amount of thread being fed out, and means for changing it by increasing or decreasing it;
The re-storing means is performed by the arithmetic processing circuit 8 by operating the switch group 10 and is displayed on the display 9.

Next, the configuration of the display 9 and the switch group 10 is shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, one liquid crystal display section 12 and eight switches 12 to 20 are used. This is a reset switch to display the starting position, and is normally activated when the line has been rewound to the tip of the rod. 14 is a speed change switch for switching between high-speed and low-speed driving of the motor;
5 is a manual switch for stopping manual and automatic winding, 16
17 is an automatic winding switch for rewinding to a predetermined starting position; 17 is a memory switch for the amount of yarn to be fed; 18
19 is a storage amount display switch for displaying the storage amount in any state; 19 is a storage amount increase switch; 20
is the memory capacity reduction switch, and these two switches are used to change the memory capacity.

To explain a series of operations by the switch group 10, first, with the line reeled back onto the tip of the rod, press the reset switch 13, gradually let out the line, and when it hits the fish rack, turn on the memory switch 17. Press to memorize the depth. Next, if there is a fish, the fishing line is rewound and the fish are taken in, and then the fishing line is fed out again. Then, the solenoid 11 operates and forcibly stops the spool 6. In this way, a certain depth is ensured, but
If you are fishing at a memorized depth and suddenly change the depth by a few meters, and you need to memorize the changed depth, press the memorized amount display switch 18 to display the memorized amount on the display. This is displayed, changed by the storage amount increase/decrease switches 19 and 20, and when the storage switch 17 is pressed again, the changed amount is stored. After that, by letting out the line, the rotation of the spool 6 will stop according to the changed storage capacity, and a new fish shelf can be secured.

Figure 3 is a timing chart of the signal A and the solenoid 11 when the thread reaches a predetermined starting position or the memorized or changed payout amount, where a is during the payout operation and b is during the rewinding operation. Show the time. In this series of operations, 21 is the point at which the memory switch 17 was operated, 22 is the point at which the thread is rewound to the starting position, 23 is the point at which the thread is fed out again to the memorized amount,
24 is the point at which the storage amount was changed by the switch operation, 25 is the point at which the tape has been rewound to the starting position again, and 26 is the point at which the changed feed amount has been reached.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following effects.

In other words, since the starting position of the line is memorized, over-winding can be prevented even during automatic rewinding, and the depth of steep ledges is memorized, so you can be sure that the line will be the same without relying on the intuition of conventional anglers. You can pay out the thread to a deep depth.

In addition, if you suddenly change the depth while fishing at a predetermined depth and want to memorize the depth, you can easily change the depth by simply operating the memory capacity display switch, memory capacity increase/decrease switch, and memory switch.・Since it can be memorized and there is no need for troublesome operations, it is possible to deal with changes in the fish shelf in a short time.

Furthermore, if the power supply from the external power supply suddenly stops while the thread is being fed out, the amount of memory will be zero even if it is reconnected, so automatic rewinding was not possible in the past, but with the present invention, Since any numerical value can be displayed and stored by operating the volume increase/decrease switch, it can have great effects such as automatic rewinding.
