Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a double-bearing winding reel. Background Technology

[0002] The double-bearing winding reel comprises a winding reel body with a pair of side plates, a drum, a handle, and a rotation transmission mechanism (see Patent Document 1). The drum is disposed between the pair of side plates. The handle is disposed on one side of the pair of side plates. The rotation transmission mechanism transmits rotation of the handle to the drum. The rotation transmission mechanism is disposed on the handle side of the winding reel body.

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 6374700.

[0004] In the main body of a winding reel, the handle side tends to be larger than the side opposite to it due to the arrangement of a rotation transmission mechanism. For example, in the double-bearing winding reel of Patent Document 1, the side plate on the handle side (except for the portion bulging forward) and the side plate on the side opposite to the handle side are formed in a concentric circle shape with respect to the axis of rotation of the spool. In this case, if the diameter of the side plate on the handle side is increased to accommodate the rotation transmission mechanism, the handle side of the winding reel main body becomes larger, resulting in wasted space. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-bearing winding wheel that enables miniaturization of the handle side of the winding wheel body.

[0006] A dual-bearing reel of the present invention enables fishing line to be released forward. The dual-bearing reel includes a reel body and a handle. The reel body has a first side plate, a second side plate, and a connecting portion. The first side plate includes a circular portion and a bulge extending forward and downward from the circular portion. The second side plate is circular and is spaced apart from the first side plate. The connecting portion connects the first and second side plates. The handle is rotatably mounted on the first side plate. The central axis of the circular portion of the first side plate is offset forward and downward relative to the central axis of the second side plate.

[0007] In this dual-bearing winding reel, the central axis of the circular portion of the first side plate is offset forward and downward relative to the central axis of the second side plate. Specifically, the central axis of the circular portion of the first side plate is offset in the direction of the bulge of the first side plate relative to the central axis of the second side plate. This suppresses wasted space in the upper and rearward areas of the circular portion of the first side plate. Consequently, the handle side of the winding reel body can be miniaturized.

[0008] The double-bearing winding reel may also include a drum rotatably supported on the reel body, and the axis of rotation of the drum may be aligned with the central axis of the second side plate. In this case, the side of the reel body opposite to the handle side can be miniaturized.

[0012] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a double-bearing winding reel.

[0013] Figure 3 This is a view of the frame from the handle side.

[0014] Figure 4 This is a view of the frame from the side opposite to the handle side. Detailed Implementation

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the dual-bearing winding reel 100 of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a 3D view of the double-bearing winding reel 100. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the double-bearing reel 100. Furthermore, in the following description, "front" refers to the direction in which the fishing line is released during fishing, and the opposite direction is referred to as "rear." For example, Figure 1 The right side is the front, and the left side is the rear. Furthermore, the direction of the drum shaft's extension, as described later, will be defined as the axial direction, and the direction orthogonal to the axial direction will be defined as the radial direction.

[0016] The double-bearing reel 100 can release fishing line forward. The double-bearing reel 100 includes a reel body 2, a drum 3, a handle 4, and a rotation transmission mechanism 5. Furthermore, like conventional reels, the double-bearing reel 100 includes a clutch mechanism, a casting control mechanism, a drum braking mechanism, and a winding mechanism.

[0017] The winding reel body 2 has a frame 6, a first side cover 7, a second side cover 8, and a rod assembly part 9.

[0018] Figure 3 This is a view of frame 6 from the handle side. Figure 4 This is a view of frame 6 from the side opposite to the handle side. Frame 6 has a first side plate 11, a second side plate 12, and multiple connecting portions 13. The first side plate 11 is generally circular in shape and is disposed on the handle side of frame 6. The first side plate 11 has a circular portion 11a and a bulge 11b.

[0019] The circular portion 11a is circular in shape. The circular portion 11a has a through hole 11c for the winding drum shaft to pass through, and a support hole 11d for supporting one end of the drive shaft 21 (described later). Figure 3 As shown, the center of the through hole 11c is located at a different position from the central axis O1 of the circular portion 11a.

[0020] The bulge 11b bulges outward radially from the circular portion 11a. More specifically, the bulge 11b bulges forward and downward from the outer edge of the circular portion 11a. Furthermore, in Figure 3 In the diagram, the boundaries between the circular portion 11a and the bulge portion 11b are represented by a double-dotted line.

[0021] 2nd side panel 12 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it is circular in shape and has an opening 12a for taking out the spool 3. Figure 4 As shown, the central axis O2 of the second side plate 12 is located at a different position than the central axis O1 of the circular portion 11a of the first side plate 11. Specifically, the central axis O1 of the circular portion 11a of the first side plate 11 is offset forward and downward relative to the central axis O2 of the second side plate 12.

[0022] Multiple connecting parts 13 extend axially to connect the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12.

[0023] The first side cover 7 is fixed to the first side plate 11 such that it covers the first side plate 11 from the handle side. The second side cover 8 is fixed to the second side plate 12 such that it covers the second side plate 12 from the side opposite to the handle side. Alternatively, the second side cover 8 may be integral with the second side plate 12.

[0024] The rod assembly part 9 is used to assemble the fishing rod. It is positioned between the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, and below the reel 3. The rod assembly part 9 extends in the front-to-back direction and is fixed to the connecting part 13. Alternatively, the rod assembly part 9 may be integral with the frame 6.

[0025] The spool 3 is the component for winding fishing line around its outer periphery. The spool 3 is rotatably supported on the reel body 2. In this embodiment, the spool 3 is fixed to a spool shaft that extends axially through the center of the spool 3, and rotates integrally with the spool shaft between the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12. The rotation axis O3 of the spool 3 is aligned with the central axis of the spool shaft. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotation axis O3 of the drum 3 coincides with the central axis O2 of the second side plate 12. The drum shaft is rotatably supported on the winding wheel body 2 via a bearing (not shown) disposed on the winding wheel body 2.

[0026] The handle 4 is rotatably mounted on the first side plate 11 of the winding reel body 2. Corresponding to the rotation operation of the handle 4, the drum 3 rotates together with the drum shaft via the rotation transmission mechanism 5.

[0027] Rotary transmission mechanism 5, as shown Figure 2As shown, it is disposed within the space formed by the first side cover 7 and the first side plate 11. The rotation transmission mechanism 5 transmits the rotation of the handle 4 to the drum 3 via the drum shaft. The rotation transmission mechanism 5 has a drive shaft 21, a drive gear 22, a planetary gear (not shown), and a traction mechanism 23.

[0028] The drive shaft 21 is non-rotatably connected to the handle 4. The drive shaft 21 is rotatably supported on the winding reel body 2 by a bearing 24 disposed in the support hole 11d of the first side plate 11 and a bearing 25 disposed in the first side cover 7. In addition, the drive shaft 21 is prevented from rotating in the wire release direction by means of a one-way clutch 26 disposed inside the first side cover 7.

[0029] Drive gear 22 is mounted on drive shaft 21. Planetary gears are cylindrical components that extend axially through the spool shaft. Planetary gears mesh with drive gear 22. Traction mechanism 23 brakes the rotation of the spool 3 in the direction of line release. Traction mechanism 23 has the same structure as before, so its description is omitted. The rotation of the handle 4 in the direction of line winding is transmitted to spool 3 via drive shaft 21, traction mechanism 23, drive gear 22, planetary gears, and spool shaft.

[0030] In the dual-bearing winding reel 100 with the above-described structure, the central axis O1 of the circular portion 11a of the first side plate 11 is offset forward and downward relative to the central axis O2 of the second side plate 12. That is, the central axis O1 of the circular portion 11a of the first side plate 11 is offset in the direction of the bulge 11b of the first side plate 11 relative to the central axis O2 of the second side plate 12. This suppresses the waste of space near the upper and rear parts of the circular portion 11a of the first side plate 11. As a result, the handle side of the winding reel body 2 can be miniaturized.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the specific structure is not limited to these embodiments and can be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0032] In the foregoing embodiments, the drum 3 is fixed to the drum shaft, but the present invention can also be used in a configuration in which the drum 3 rotates relative to the drum shaft or in a configuration in which the drum shaft is divided.

[0033] In the aforementioned embodiments, the handle 4 is located on the left side when viewed from the front, but the present invention can also be used in a double-bearing winding reel where the handle 4 is located on the right side when viewed from the front.

[0034] In the aforementioned embodiments, the circular portion 11a of the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are circular in shape, but the circular portion 11a of the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 can be approximately circular or not be completely circular.
