Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an electric fishing reel. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, as an example of an electric reel-in-one fishing rod used for fishing for the western tilapia (Hypomesus nipponensis), a structure is known to apply resistance to the rotation of the fishing line in the release direction when the clutch is engaged (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The electric reel-in-one fishing rod is constructed by integrating a reel section with a spool and a handle section, wherein the spool winds and houses the main line driven to rotate by a built-in electric motor.

[0003] [Existing technical documents]

[0004] [Patent Literature]

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 10-191844 Summary of the Invention

[0006] [The technical problem that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] However, in the electric fishing reel structure of the fishing rod with an integrated electric fishing reel shown in the prior art of the aforementioned Patent Document 1, since the braking force is not applied to the free rotation of the spool used to release the fishing line to stop it, but rather the motor in the stopped state is reversed, a very large force must be applied.

[0008] That is, it acts as a traction device to brake the line when the spool stops. However, in the prior art, the free rotation of the spool is too light, which leads to the problem of line tangling (backlash).

[0009] The present invention was made in view of the technical problem that the object is to provide an electric fishing reel that, due to having a braking structure that applies braking force to the spool, does not require the application of a large force and can suppress the occurrence of fishing line tangling.

[0010] [Technical solutions used to solve technical problems]

[0011] (1) The electric fishing reel involved in this invention is an integrated electric fishing rod reel, which has a rod tip detachably mounted at the front end for winding and unwinding fishing line by connecting and disconnecting the driving force from the electric motor. The connection and disconnection are performed by a clutch. The electric fishing reel is characterized by having a spool support shaft, a spool, and a braking component. The spool has a bearing that rotatably supports the spool support shaft. The braking component is configured to face the outer surface of the spool in the spool axial direction and can move relative to the outer peripheral surface of the spool support shaft along the spool axial direction. By moving the braking component toward the spool, the braking component is pushed against the spool, so that the braking force acts on the spool along the spool axial direction.

[0012] According to the electric fishing reel of the present invention, by moving the braking member on the spool support shaft toward the spool side, the braking member can be pushed against the spool. In this invention, since the structure is configured to move the braking member along the spool axis using the outer circumferential surface of the spool support shaft, the aforementioned braking force can be applied to the spool without significant changes to the structure of the prior art.

[0013] Furthermore, in this invention, even if a fishing line tangling occurs, the tangled fishing line can be easily removed from the spool by detaching the braking component from the fishing reel body.

[0014] (2) The electric fishing reel is characterized in that: by moving the braking component toward the spool side, pressure can be applied between the inner and outer rings of the bearing, thereby applying braking force along the spool axis.

[0015] In this case, since pressure accompanying the movement of the braking component can be applied directly between the inner and outer rings of the bearing of the spool, the braking force can be applied to the spool more effectively.

[0016] (3) Preferably, a plurality of bearings are arranged in the direction of the spool shaft, and the braking component is a spring component inserted between the plurality of bearings in a state of being subjected to force in the direction of the spool shaft.

[0017] In this case, by applying a force to the bearing along the thrust axis through the elastic force of a spring component, such as a bending washer, the bearing resistance can be slightly increased. Therefore, by fastening the braking component to the spool support shaft, the compression of the spring component changes, thereby adjusting the braking force as if it were a throwing control brake.

[0018] (4) The electric fishing reel may be characterized in that: one end of the bearing in the direction of the thrust axis is held on the reel body to restrict its movement in the direction of the thrust axis, and the other end of the bearing in the direction of the thrust axis is held by a cover member covering the other end side of the spool to restrict its movement in the direction of the thrust axis.

[0019] In this case, the movement of the multiple bearings, which are separated by spring components, in the direction of the thrust shaft is restricted. Therefore, by applying force through the spring components positioned between the multiple bearings, it is possible to prevent the bearings from moving to the other end in the direction of the thrust shaft and detaching from the spool support shaft.

[0020] [Invention Effects]

[0021] The electric fishing reel according to the present invention has a braking structure that applies braking force to the spool, thus eliminating the need for a large force and suppressing the occurrence of fishing line tangling. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Hereinafter, embodiments of the electric fishing reel according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in this embodiment, an electric fishing reel for fishing for wrasse will be used as an example. Additionally, in the accompanying drawings, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as needed to ensure that each component is of a visually confirmable size.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric fishing reel 1 of this embodiment is suitable for electric fishing reels for West Taigong fish with integrated fishing rods. It has a rod tip (not shown) detachably installed at the front end for winding and releasing fishing line by connecting and disconnecting the driving force from the electric motor. The connection and disconnection are performed by a clutch.

[0031] In this embodiment, in the electric fishing reel 1, the rod tip side is defined as the front end or front, the rod tail side is defined as the rear end or rear, and the length direction from the rod tip to the rod tail is defined as the front-back direction. The direction orthogonal to the front-back direction when viewed from above the electric fishing reel 1 is called the left-right direction or the width direction.

[0032] The electric fishing reel 1 has a fishing reel body 10, a fishing reel section 2, and a rod tip (not shown). The fishing reel body 10 houses a fishing reel drive unit (not shown) that includes an electric motor, a clutch, etc. The fishing reel section 2 is located at the front end of the fishing reel body 10. The rod tip protrudes forward from the front end of the fishing reel body 10.

[0033] The fishing reel body 10 has a body cover 11 that covers the main body frame 10a and the fishing reel drive unit, wherein the main body frame 10a supports the fishing reel drive unit from below. The main body frame 10a is mainly disposed at the bottom of the electric fishing reel 1 and is a one-piece component made of, for example, synthetic resin or metal. A plate-shaped fishing reel mounting part 16 is provided at the front of the main body frame 10a, which allows the fishing reel body 10 to be mounted to or removed from a part of a boat or the like.

[0034] The main body cover 11 has a clutch operation section 12 and a display panel 13, wherein the clutch operation section 12 is used to operate a clutch (not shown) that engages and disengages the driving force from the electric motor relative to the fishing reel section 2; the display panel 13 is used to display the water depth (the depth of the fishing rod assembly in the water) of the hook assembly that can be mounted on the top of the fishing line.

[0035] The main body cover 11 is generally elongated in the front-to-back direction, and has a gripping part 14 and a fishing reel storage part 15. The gripping part 14 can be gripped from above, extending from the central portion 11a of the cover to the rear portion 11b. The fishing reel storage part 15 is located at the front portion 11c of the cover, in front of the gripping part 14. A receiving space is formed inside the main body cover 11 to accommodate the fishing reel drive unit. Here, in... Figure 1 In the middle, a part of the right side of the main body cover 11 is omitted, so that the interior of the main body cover 11 can be seen.

[0036] Additionally, a rod tip mounting sleeve 17 is provided on the front part 11c of the cover, which allows for the detachable mounting of a rod tip (not shown).

[0037] A display panel 13 is provided on the central portion 11a of the cover of the grip portion 14. The rear portion 11b of the cover of the grip portion 14 is formed into a shape that gradually decreases in width and becomes narrower at the top when viewed from above, moving from the central portion 11a towards the rear. The shape and size of the grip portion 14 are set to allow for gripping from above by covering the grip portion 14 with the palm of the hand.

[0038] The display panel 13 is composed of a liquid crystal display that can display the water depth of the fishing hook assembly, and has multiple (two in this embodiment) operation buttons for display operations.

[0039] Regarding the fishing reel storage section 15, a notch / recess 15a for accommodating the fishing reel section 2 is formed by cutting off the right half of the main body cover 11. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a fishing reel support 4 is fixed in the notch recess 15a, which rotatably supports the left end of the spool support shaft 21 and the spool 22 of the fishing reel 2 (described later).

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the fishing reel support 4 has a main body 41 and a spool support hole 42. The main body 41 is fixed to the notch 15a of the fishing reel storage part 15; the spool support hole 42 is supported by the main body 41. The spool support hole 42 supports the spool support shaft 21 of the fishing reel part 2, which will be described later, in a state where the top end 21a is inserted.

[0041] like Figures 3-5As shown, the fishing reel 2 has a spool support shaft 21, a spool 22, and a bending washer 5 (braking component, spring component). The spool 22 has a pair of bearings 24 (24A, 24B) that rotatably support the spool support shaft 21. The bending washer 5 is configured to face the central protruding side surface 22a of the spool shaft O in the spool shaft O direction and is inserted between the bearings 24A, 24B in a state where a force is applied in the spool shaft O direction.

[0042] In this embodiment, in the fishing reel section 2, the direction around the spool shaft O is defined as the circumferential direction, and the direction orthogonal to the spool shaft O when viewed from the direction of the spool shaft O is defined as the radial direction.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the spool support shaft 21 has a shaft portion 21A and a shaft head 21B located at one axial end of the shaft portion 21A. The shaft portion 21A has an external thread at its top end portion 21a. The spool support shaft 21 is fixed to the fishing reel support portion 4 by the top end portion 21a threaded into the internal thread portion 42a of the spool shaft support hole 42 provided on the fishing reel support portion 4.

[0044] The spool 22 is disposed in the region of the shaft portion 21A between the top end portion 21a and the head portion 21B of the shaft portion 21A.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the spool 22 is coaxially configured with the spool support shaft 21 and is rotatably mounted on the spool support shaft 21 via a pair of bearings 24A and 24B. The spool support shaft 21 is fixed to the fishing reel support portion 4. The spool 22 has a cylindrical spool body portion 22A and a pair of flange portions 22B, 22B. The spool body portion 22A is used for winding fishing line. The pair of flange portions 22B expand radially outward at both ends of the spool body portion 22A.

[0046] The spool 22 is driven to rotate by a friction tube mounted on the motor shaft of the drive motor, and is driven by... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clutch operating unit 12 shown is driven by a clutch mechanism that is linked to it. Figure 3 As shown, in the spool 22, the outer periphery of the left flange portion 22B is covered from the outside by the main body portion 41 of the fishing reel support portion 4, and the outer periphery of the right flange portion 22B is covered from the outside by the cover member 25.

[0047] The cover member 25 is formed in the shape of a topped cylinder, with the top facing to the right, and the right flange portion 22B is covered by the cylinder portion. An opening is formed in the center of the cover member 25 for arranging the shaft head 21B of the spool support shaft 21.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple (in this case, two) bearings 24A and 24B, which are disposed on the winding drum 22, are arranged in the direction of the winding drum shaft O. Between the bearings 24A and 24B, a bending washer 5 (a spring component) is inserted in a state where force is applied in the direction of the winding drum shaft O via the interfacing stop 26. That is, along the direction of the winding drum shaft O, the bearings 24B, the interfacing stop 26, the bending washer 5, and the bearing 24A are arranged in that order.

[0049] The bearing 24 has a structure that holds a plurality of balls 243 between an outer ring 241 and an inner ring 242. The inner ring 242 is fixed to the shaft portion 21A of the spool support shaft 21, and the outer ring 241 is fixed to the spool 22. An interlocking stop 26 is fitted onto the outside of the shaft portion 21A of the spool support shaft 21.

[0050] One end of bearings 24A and 24B in the thrust axis direction X (bearing 24B on the left) is held in the fishing reel support 4 of the fishing reel body 10 to restrict its movement in the pressing direction X1 in the thrust axis direction X. Meanwhile, the other end of bearings 24A and 24B in the thrust axis direction X (bearing 24A on the right) is held by a cover member 25 to restrict its movement in the thrust axis direction X in the opposite direction to the pressing direction X1 (the direction of movement to the right).

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the bending washer 5 is a leaf spring formed by bending a plate-shaped component into a shape resembling the Japanese character "く" when viewed from the side, and is coaxially configured with the spool shaft O. A circular hole is formed in the center of the bending washer 5, through which the spool support shaft 21 can pass. The bending washer 5 is configured such that its convex surface 5a abuts against the outer ring 241 of the bearing 24A on the right side, and its outer peripheral edge 5b, located on the outer periphery of the convex surface 5a, abuts against the central protruding side surface 22a of the spool 22, located radially outside the right end face 26a of the intercalation block 26.

[0052] Next, the function of the electric fishing reel 1 configured in this way will be explained in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0053] In the electric fishing reel 1 according to this embodiment, pressure is applied between the outer ring 241 and inner ring 242 of the bearing 24 supporting the spool support shaft 21 by means of the elastic force of the bending washer 5, which functions as a braking component, thereby applying braking force in the direction of the spool shaft O. In this case, since pressure accompanying the elastic deformation of the bending washer 5 can be applied directly between the inner and outer rings of the bearings 24A and 24B of the spool 22, the braking force can be applied to the spool 22 more effectively.

[0054] That is, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the bearing 24A on the right, the inner ring 242 is pushed in the thrust direction X1 (left side of the paper) by the spool support shaft 21 in the thrust direction X, and the bending washer 5 pushes the outer ring 241 back in the opposite direction to the pressing direction X1 (right side of the paper). Thus, forces in opposite directions are applied to the inner and outer rings, thereby applying braking force to the spool 22.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, since the bearings 24A and 24B, which are provided with the bending washer 5 in between, are restricted from moving in the thrust axis direction X by the fishing reel support part 4 and the cover part 25, it is possible to prevent the bearings 24A and 24B from moving to the right in the thrust axis direction X due to the force applied by the bending washer 5 and falling off the reel support shaft 21.

[0056] In the electric fishing reel of this embodiment configured as described above, since a braking structure is adopted that applies braking force to the spool 22, it is not necessary to apply a large force, and the occurrence of fishing line tangling can be suppressed.

[0057] The embodiments of the electric fishing reel according to the present invention have been described above, but these embodiments are provided as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the technical solution. The embodiments can be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The embodiments and their modifications include, for example, technical solutions of substantially the same or equivalent scope that are readily conceived by those skilled in the art.

[0058] For example, in the above embodiments, the present invention has been described as an electric fishing reel structure suitable for fishing for tilapia, but the present invention is not limited to electric fishing reels suitable for fishing for tilapia. For example, it can also be applied to smaller electric fishing reels with integrated fishing rods used for fishing for small fish such as gobies and mullet.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as a mechanism (brake component) that applies pressure to the spool 22 to apply a thrust load in the thrust axis direction, a bent washer 5, which applies pressure to the bearings 24A and 24B in the thrust axis direction and is composed of a bent leaf spring, is used. However, it is not limited to such a bent washer 5, and other types of spring components may also be used. For example, a coil spring or the like may not be used as the bent washer.

[0060] Furthermore, the location of the bending washer and the contact positions of bearings 24A and 24B relative to the inner and outer rings are not limited to the embodiments described above. In short, it is sufficient to configure the braking component to apply a thrust load in the thrust axis direction to the winding drum 22.

[0061] Furthermore, other braking components may include, for example, cam-type braking components or braking components consisting of a push nut that screws forward relative to the spool support shaft 21. As a braking component for this push nut, a push nut with an internal thread can be used, which screws into an external thread formed on the spool support shaft at a position outside the bearing. By screwing the push nut forward toward the spool, the braking force is thus applied to the spool along the spool axis by the push nut pushing against the spool.
