Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smoothing machines, and more particularly to a smoothing machine for fishing reels. Background Technology

[0002] Fishing reels are an essential piece of fishing tackle for casting rods. A typical fishing reel consists of a rocker arm, main body, and reel. The transmission between most of these components relies on gears of varying sizes. However, gears have a break-in period. During this period: 1. Rapid wear: Because fishing reels are assembled manually, there may be debris on the gear surfaces. This debris acts as an abrasive, contributing to friction during gear transmission and accelerating wear. Therefore, the break-in period easily causes wear on gear components (especially mating surfaces). Overloading during this time can easily lead to gear component damage and premature failure. 2. Poor lubrication: Newly assembled gear components have small clearances, and due to assembly and other factors, lubrication is often insufficient. Lubricating oil does not easily form a uniform oil film on the friction surface to prevent wear, thus reducing lubrication efficiency and easily causing early abnormal wear; 3. Loosening occurs. Newly processed and assembled gear parts have deviations in geometric shape and fit dimensions. In the early stage of use, due to alternating loads such as impact and vibration, as well as the influence of factors such as heat and deformation, coupled with excessive wear, the originally tight gear parts are prone to loosening. Therefore, fishing reels are prone to early failure under improper operation during the break-in period, which greatly affects the user experience and will also leave users with a bad impression of poor product quality. For this reason, it is necessary to propose a machine that can be used in a simulated manner before the fishing reel is produced - a fishing reel smoothing machine. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the existing problems, this invention proposes a fishing reel smoothing machine. This smoothing machine simulates the driving force output by the rocker arm to the fishing reel during operation. At the same time, the smoothing machine also applies a suitable load to the fishing reel, further simulating the driving force and resistance experienced by the fishing reel during operation, improving the break-in effect of the gear components, and allowing the fishing reel to pass the break-in period before leaving the factory.

[0004] This invention provides a fishing reel smoothing machine, which acts on a fishing reel. The smoothing machine includes a worktable and a drive module, a clamping module, and a load module mounted on the worktable. The drive module simulates the operation of a rocker arm driving the fishing reel. The clamping module cooperates with the drive module to fix the fishing reel. The load module simulates the load on the reel end during operation. The drive module includes a drive base, a servo motor, a drill chuck, and a drive connector. The drive base is fixedly mounted on the worktable. The servo motor is mounted on one side of the drive base. The drill chuck is connected to the spindle of the servo motor. The drive connector is detachably mounted on the drill chuck and engages with the gear hole of the fishing reel. The servo motor drives the drill chuck and drive connector to rotate, thereby simulating the rocker arm outputting power to the fishing reel to operate. The clamping module is positioned opposite the drive module and includes a clamping seat, a clamping slider, and a clamping support rod. The clamping seat is fixed... The system is mounted on the workbench. A clamping seat has a clamping slide rail, and a clamping slider is slidably mounted on the clamping seat in cooperation with the clamping slide rail. A clamping support rod is fixedly mounted on the clamping slider. The clamping support rod selectively approaches or deviates from the fishing reel connected to the drive connector via the clamping slider. The load module includes a load seat, a load slider, a load push rod, and a weight. The load seat is fixedly mounted on the workbench. A load slide rail is provided on the load seat. The load slider is slidably mounted on the load seat. The load slider also has a guide hole. The load push rod passes through the guide hole and is slidably mounted on the load slider. One end of the load push rod faces the reel of the fishing reel connected to the drive connector. The weight is connected to the end of the load push rod away from the fishing reel via a rope. The weight provides a pulling force to the load push rod towards the reel. The load push rod selectively approaches or deviates from the reel of the fishing reel via the load slider.

[0005] Preferably, the load module further includes a fixed pulley, which is located on one side of the load top rod, and the load weight is suspended below the fixed pulley by a rope.

[0006] Preferably, the load module further includes a connecting block, one end of which is connected to the end of the load top rod away from the fishing reel, and the other end of which is connected to the end of the rope away from the load weight. The section of the rope from the connecting block to the fixed pulley is parallel to the load top rod, and the section of the rope from the fixed pulley to the load weight is perpendicular to the load top rod.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping module further includes a clamping screw motor, and the clamping slider is connected to the screw of the clamping screw motor in a screw-like manner. The clamping screw motor drives the clamping slider to move along the clamping slide rail.

[0008] Preferably, the load module further includes a load screw motor, and the load slider is connected to the screw of the load screw motor in a screw-like manner. The load screw motor drives the load slider to move along the load slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the clamping support rod facing the fishing reel is also fitted with a clamping silicone sleeve, which is used to protect the fishing reel from wear.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the load-bearing rod facing the fishing reel is also fitted with a load-bearing silicone sleeve, which is used to protect the fishing reel from wear on the surface of the fishing reel.

[0011] Preferably, the drive module further includes a bracket, which is movably mounted on one side of the drive seat and located above the drill chuck. The bracket includes a bracket back plate and two extension rods disposed on the back plate, with a predetermined interval between the extension rods.

[0012] Preferably, the smoothing machine further includes a control module, which is electrically connected to the servo motor and controls the servo motor to rotate forward, reverse, and at its speed.

[0013] The fishing reel smoothing machine and the beneficial effects achieved by the fishing reel smoothing machine provided by this invention are as follows:

[0014] The fishing reel smoothing machine positions the fishing reel using a clamping module in conjunction with a drive module. A load module simulates the forces acting on the reel during operation. Finally, the drive module and load module work together to simulate fishing reel operation. The load force provided by the load module can be adjusted by changing the weights to accommodate different reel sizes (different reels have different internal gear component sizes, resulting in different load forces / break-in forces during operation), improving the break-in effect of the gear components. Simultaneously, the drive module's drive connector size can also be adjusted to improve versatility, making the smoothing machine suitable for all sizes of fishing reels. This smoothing machine allows fishing reels to undergo simulated operation and break-in period before leaving the factory, improving user experience and reducing early failure rates.

They should not be construed as limiting the specific scope of protection of this invention.

[0021] First, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a fishing reel smoothing machine, which acts on such as Figure 4 The fishing reel shown is combined with Figure 3 The fishing reel includes a main body 61, a reel 62, and a rocker arm 63. It should be noted that when using the fishing reel smoothing machine provided by this invention to perform grinding operations on the fishing reel, the rocker arm 63 needs to be removed. The smoothing machine includes a workbench 1 and a drive module, a clamping module, and a load module set on the workbench 1. The drive module is used to simulate the rocker arm 63 driving the fishing reel to operate. The clamping module cooperates with the drive module to fix the fishing reel. The load module is used to simulate the load on the reel end during fishing reel operation.

[0022] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The drive module includes a drive base 21, a servo motor 22, a drill chuck 23, and a drive connector 24. The drive base 21 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 1. The drill chuck 23 and the servo motor 22 are located on opposite sides of the drive base 21. The drill chuck 23 is connected to the spindle of the servo motor 22. The drive connector 24 is detachably mounted on the drill chuck 23. The drive connector 24 is used to engage with the gear hole 612 of the fishing reel. The servo motor 22 drives the drill chuck 23 and the drive connector 24 to rotate, thereby simulating the rocker arm outputting power to the fishing reel to make the fishing reel work. The drive connector 24 can be adapted and replaced according to different sizes of fishing reel holes 612. The drive connector 24 and the drill chuck 23 are connected by a plug-in method to achieve a detachable connection. Of course, other existing detachable connection methods can also be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0023] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clamping module is positioned relative to the drive module. The clamping module includes a clamping seat 31, a clamping slider 32, and a clamping support rod 33. The clamping seat 31 is fixedly mounted on the workbench 1. A clamping slide rail 311 is provided on the clamping seat 31. The clamping slider 32 is slidably mounted on the clamping seat 31 in cooperation with the clamping slide rail 311. The clamping support rod 33 is fixedly mounted on the clamping slider 32. The clamping support rod 33 selectively approaches or moves away from the fishing reel connected to the drive connector 24 via the clamping slider 32. In the embodiment provided by this invention, the sliding of the clamping slider 32 is driven by a clamping screw motor 34. The clamping slider 32 is connected to the screw 35 of the clamping screw motor 34 via a screw connection. The clamping screw motor 34 drives the clamping slider 32 to move along the clamping slide rail 311, thereby clamping and releasing the fishing reel.

[0024] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The load module includes a load base 41, a load slider 42, a load push rod 43, and a weight 44. The load base 41 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1. A load slide rail is provided on the load base 41. The load slider 42 is slidably installed on the load base 41. The load slider 42 is also provided with a guide hole. The load push rod 43 slides through the guide hole and is limited and installed on the load slider 42. Its limiting function is to prevent the load push rod 43 from falling off the load slider 42. One end of the load push rod 43 faces the drive. The fishing reel 62, connected by a moving joint, has a limiting structure at one end. A weight 44 is connected via a rope 45 to the end of the load-bearing rod 43 furthest from the fishing reel (i.e., the end with the limiting structure). The weight 44 provides a pulling force to the load-bearing rod 43, resisting the reel 62. The weight 44 can be changed to different weights by matching different sizes of fishing reels. The load-bearing rod 43, via a load slider 42, selectively moves closer to or further away from the reel to adjust the contact and separation between the load-bearing rod 43 and the reel 62. In the embodiment provided by the invention, the weight... The sliding of the load slider 42 is driven by the load screw motor 48. The load slider 42 is connected to the screw 49 of the load screw motor 48 by a screw. The load screw motor 48 drives the load slider 42 to move along the load slide rail, realizing the contact and separation of the sheaves. In addition, in this embodiment, the load module also includes a fixed pulley 46, which is fixedly installed on the workbench 1 and located on one side of the load top rod 43. The load weight 44 is suspended below the fixed pulley 46 by a rope 45. The workbench 1 has a... A through hole is provided for the rope 45 to pass through. The through hole is located below the fixed pulley 46. The load weight 44 is suspended below the workbench 1 by the rope 45. Specifically, the limiting structure is a connecting block 47. One end of the connecting block 47 is connected to the end of the load rod 43 away from the fishing reel, and the other end is connected to the end of the rope 45 away from the load weight 44. The section of the rope 45 from the connecting block 47 to the fixed pulley 46 is parallel to the load rod 43, and the section of the rope 45 from the fixed pulley 46 to the load weight 44 is perpendicular to the load rod 43.

[0025] Preferably, in order to protect the surface of the fishing reel from being scratched by the top rod, silicone sleeves 36 and 410 are respectively fitted on the ends of the clamping support rod 33 and the load top rod 43 that are in contact with the fishing reel.

[0026] Then, combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4To better secure the fishing reel to the smoothing machine, an additional bracket is provided in the drive module in the embodiment of the present invention. The bracket is movably installed on one side of the drive seat 21 and above the drill chuck 23. The bracket includes a bracket back plate 25 and two extension rods 26 disposed on the back plate. The extension rods 26 are spaced apart by a predetermined interval. The bracket back plate 25 is slidably mounted on the sliding groove 211 of the drive seat 21 via a mounting rod 27. The sliding groove 211 allows the bracket to adjust its horizontal position to accommodate fishing reels of different sizes. The two extension rods 26 are slidably mounted on the sliding groove 251 of the bracket back plate 26. The two extension rods 26 can slide along the sliding groove to adjust their relative interval to accommodate fishing reels of different sizes. The two extension rods 26 can be attached to the abutment part 611 of the fishing reel body 61.

[0027] Next, the other structures of the smoothing machine will be introduced. In this embodiment, the smoothing machine also includes a frame 12 and pulleys 11 set at the bottom of the frame 12. The workbench 1 is set on the frame 12. The pulleys 11 support the smoothing machine's movement. The workbench is also equipped with a control module 5 that is electrically connected to the servo motor and the lead screw motor. The control module 5 includes an interactive display screen 51, a start button 52, a reset button 53, an indicator light 54, and a power switch 55. The user sets the forward rotation duration, reverse rotation duration, and speed of the servo motor through the interactive display screen 51. These basic industrial control settings are commonly used in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Finally, the steps for smooth operation of the fishing reel are explained:

[0029] 1. Disassemble the rocker arm of the fishing reel;

[0030] 2. Align the toothed disc hole 612 with the drive connector 24 to connect the fishing reel and the drive module, and hang the hanging part 611 of the fishing reel body on the hanger.

[0031] 3. Use the control module to adjust and start the clamping screw motor and the load screw motor. The two screw motors drive the clamping support rod and the load top rod to approach and abut against the fishing reel.

[0032] 4. Start the servo motor to drive the fishing reel in operation. During operation, the reel 62 moves along the... Figure 4 The motion directions A and B shown reciprocate. When the reel moves in motion direction A, it pushes the load rod and the rope to slide together in motion direction A. At this time, the load rod also drives the load weight to move upward through the rope to realize the load simulation motion in motion direction A. When the reel moves in motion direction B, the load weight moves downward and pulls the load rod together along motion direction B through the rope to realize the load simulation motion in motion direction B.

[0033] 5. Complete the smooth operation of the fishing vessel through a simulation of a predetermined duration.

[0034] The fishing reel smoothing machine provided by this invention positions the fishing reel using a clamping module in conjunction with a drive module. A load module simulates the forces acting on the fishing reel during operation. Finally, the drive module and load module work together to simulate fishing reel operation. The load force provided by the load module can be adjusted by changing the weights to accommodate fishing reels of different sizes (different sizes of fishing reels have different internal gear component sizes, resulting in different load forces / break-in forces during operation), thus improving the break-in effect of the gear components. Simultaneously, the drive module's drive connector size can also be adjusted to improve versatility, making the smoothing machine suitable for all sizes of fishing reels. This smoothing machine allows fishing reels to undergo simulated operation and break-in period before leaving the factory, improving user experience and reducing early failure rates.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be considered as limitations on the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
