Braking structure of a two-axis fishing reel

Abstract

This invention discloses a braking structure for a two-axis fishing reel, including a mounting base, a magnetic component, and an elastic component. The mounting base houses the mounting base, magnetic component, and elastic component. The mounting base has an annularly extending movable cavity with a guide groove penetrating its sidewall. The center line of the guide groove gradually approaches the sidewall of the mounting base closest to the outer reel. The magnetic component, in conjunction with the guide part, moves back and forth within the movable cavity along the guide groove. This allows the fishing reel to generate braking force during rapid rotation due to Lenz's law. At high reel speeds, the magnetic force on the magnetic component is strong, overcoming the elastic force of the elastic component and moving along the guide groove towards the reel assembly, thus increasing the reel's braking force. In the later stages of casting, the magnetic force on the magnetic component decreases, and the elastic component allows the magnetic component to return to its original position along the guide groove, reducing the reel's braking force. This design simultaneously meets the user's needs for long-distance casting and preventing line breakage, offering enhanced functionality.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fishing reels, and in particular to a braking structure for a two-axis fishing reel. Background Technology

[0002] A fishing reel, also called a line reel, line feeder, or line reel, is an essential piece of fishing tackle for casting (sea) rod fishing. It typically consists of 11 main components: a handle, crank arm, anti-reverse switch, main body, reel feet, guide reel, line reel, casting nut, hook clip, line housing, and drag system. Fixed to the front of the casting rod handle, it forms the core of a casting rig. Basically, fishing reels fall into two main categories: drum reels, where the line feed direction is parallel to the line direction, and spinning reels, where the line feed direction is perpendicular to the line direction.

[0003] Existing dual-axis fishing reels cause the reel assembly to rotate at high speed during casting. When the reel's rotational speed exceeds the lure's flight speed, it can lead to line breakage. Therefore, an additional reel assembly braking system is needed to suppress the reel's rotational speed and prevent breakage. Traditional reel braking systems, such as magnetic and centrifugal braking systems, cannot adaptively adjust the braking force based on the reel's rotational speed, making it difficult to balance the needs of long-distance casting and line breakage prevention. This results in poor functionality of existing braking systems, failing to meet user requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to research a new technical solution to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main objective is to provide a braking structure for a two-axis fishing reel that can effectively solve the problems of existing fishing reel braking systems being unable to adaptively adjust, having poor functionality, and failing to meet user needs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A braking structure for a two-axis fishing reel includes a mounting base, a magnetic component, and an elastic component. The mounting base has a through-hole that mates with the connecting shaft of a reel assembly. The mounting base has an annularly extending movable cavity, and a guide groove runs through the side wall of the movable cavity, with the guide groove getting closer to the side wall of the mounting base closest to the reel of the external reel assembly. The magnetic component is disposed in the movable cavity and has a guide portion that mates with the guide groove. The magnetic component moves back and forth within the movable cavity along the guide groove through the engagement of the guide portion and the guide groove. The elastic component is disposed in the movable cavity, and its two ends are fixedly connected to one end of the movable cavity and a magnet seat, respectively, causing the magnet seat to reset.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting base includes an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate, which together form the aforementioned movable cavity and guide groove, and the upper mounting plate has a through groove for exposing the magnetic component.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the movable cavities are arranged in three spaced-apart configurations. Each movable cavity has a corresponding guide groove on its sidewall, and the rotation direction of each guide groove is the same. Correspondingly, there are three magnetic components and three elastic components, each of which is disposed in its corresponding movable cavity.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the magnetic component includes a magnet base and a magnet; the magnet base is disposed in the movable cavity, the aforementioned guide portion is disposed on the magnet base, and the magnet base moves back and forth in the movable cavity along the guide groove through the cooperation of the guide portion and the guide groove; the magnet is embedded in the magnet base and moves back and forth with the magnet base.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the two side walls of the active cavity are provided with symmetrically arranged guide grooves, and correspondingly, the two side walls of the magnet base are provided with guide parts, and the guide parts of each side wall are two arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the magnet base.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the magnet base has a mounting groove that extends through the upper and lower surfaces of the magnet base, and the magnet is embedded in the mounting groove. The magnet base also includes a fixing plate, which is fixed to the bottom of the magnet base and covers the lower opening of the mounting groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the magnets are arranged in three spaced-apart arrays, with each magnet protruding from the outer surface of the magnet holder.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, a first connecting portion extends outward from one end of the sidewall of the movable cavity; a second connecting portion extends downward from the bottom of the magnetic component; and the two ends of the elastic component are fixedly connected to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion respectively, thereby causing the magnet base to reset.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes a side cover that is fixedly mounted to both the outer end of the connecting shaft and the mounting base.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting base has multiple spaced first fixing holes, and the side cover has multiple spaced second fixing holes corresponding to the first fixing holes. Multiple fixing bolts pass through the corresponding first fixing holes and second fixing holes in sequence to fix the mounting base and the side cover together.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:

[0017] The mounting base comprises a mounting seat, a magnetic component, and an elastic component. The mounting seat has an annularly extending movable cavity with a guide groove running through its sidewall. The center line of the guide groove gradually approaches the sidewall of the mounting seat closest to the outer reel. The magnetic component has a guide part that engages with the guide groove. The magnetic component moves back and forth within the movable cavity along the guide groove, causing the fishing reel to generate braking force during rapid rotation due to Lenz's law. Simultaneously, because forces are reciprocal, the magnetic component also tends to follow the reel's rotation. In the initial casting stage, the reel's high speed results in a strong magnetic force on the magnetic component, which overcomes the elastic force of the elastic component and moves along the guide groove. This causes the magnetic component to approach the reel assembly, increasing the reel's braking force and preventing line breakage. In the middle and later stages of casting, the reel speed decreases, the magnetic force on the magnetic component is smaller, and the elastic component will cause the magnetic component to return to its original position along the guide groove. As a result, the magnetic component moves away from the reel assembly, thereby reducing the braking force of the reel and making the casting farther. This gives it an adaptive braking adjustment function, which can simultaneously meet the user's needs for both long casting and avoiding line breakage, making it more functional.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes a mounting base 10, a magnetic element 70, and an elastic element 40.

[0036] The mounting base 10 has a through mounting hole 101 that mates with the connecting shaft 51 of the reel assembly 50. The mounting base 10 has an annularly extending movable cavity 102. A guide groove 103 passes through the sidewall of the movable cavity 102, and the guide groove 103 gradually approaches the sidewall of the mounting base 10 near the reel 52 of the external reel assembly 50. In this embodiment, the mounting base 10 includes an upper mounting plate 11 and a lower mounting plate 12. The upper mounting plate 11 and the lower mounting plate 12 together form the aforementioned movable cavity 102 and guide groove 103, and the upper mounting plate 11 has a magnetic supply opening. The exposed through groove 104 of the iron base 20 is used to enhance the magnetic attraction between the magnet 30 and the reel 52, thereby enhancing its braking effect; there are three movable cavities 102 arranged at intervals, and each movable cavity 102 has a corresponding guide groove 103 on its side wall, and the rotation direction of each guide groove 103 is the same; both side walls of the movable cavity 102 are provided with symmetrically arranged guide grooves 103; a first connecting part 13 extends outward integrally from one end side wall of the movable cavity 102; and multiple first fixing holes 105 arranged at intervals are penetrating the mounting base 10.

[0037] The magnetic component 70 is disposed in the movable cavity 102. The magnetic component 70 is provided with a guide portion 21 that cooperates with the guide groove 103. The magnetic component 70 moves back and forth in the movable cavity 102 along the guide groove 103 through the cooperation of the guide portion 21 and the guide groove 103. In this embodiment, three magnetic components 70 are provided, each magnetic component 70 is disposed in a corresponding movable cavity 102. The magnetic component 70 includes a magnet base 20 and a magnet 30. The magnet base 20 is disposed in the movable cavity 102, and the aforementioned guide portion 21 is disposed on the magnet base 20. The magnet base 20 moves back and forth in the movable cavity 102 along the guide groove 103 through the cooperation of the guide portion 21 and the guide groove 103. The magnet 30 is embedded in the magnet base 20 and moves back and forth with the magnet base 20.

[0038] The magnet base 20 has guide portions 21 on both sides, and each side wall has two guide portions 21 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the magnet base 20. The multiple guide portions 21 are used to ensure the stability of the magnet base 20 during its movement in the movable cavity 102, further ensuring the braking performance. The magnet base 20 has a mounting groove 201 that penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the magnet base 20. The magnet 30 is embedded in the mounting groove 201. The magnet base 20 also includes a fixing plate 22, which is fixed to the bottom of the magnet base 20 and covers the lower opening of the mounting groove 201. The fixing plate 22 facilitates the replacement of the magnet 30 after long-term use. The bottom of the magnetic component 70 extends integrally with a second connecting portion 23. The magnet 30 is arranged in three intervals, and each magnet 30 protrudes from the outer surface of the magnet base 20, further enhancing the magnetic attraction of the magnet 30 to the reel 52.

[0039] The elastic element 40 is disposed in the movable cavity 102, and both ends of the elastic element 40 are fixedly connected to one end of the movable cavity 102 and the magnetic element 70, respectively, and cause the magnetic element 70 to reset. In this embodiment, there are three elastic elements 40, each elastic element 30 is disposed in the corresponding movable cavity 102 and causes the corresponding magnetic element 70 to reset, and each elastic element 3 can be a spring with a different elastic coefficient. The two ends of the elastic element 40 are fixedly connected to the first connecting part 13 and the second connecting part 23, respectively, and cause the magnetic element 70 to reset.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes a side cover 60, which is fixedly installed together with the outer end of the connecting shaft 51 and the mounting base 10. The side cover 60 has multiple second fixing holes 601 arranged at intervals and corresponding to the first fixing hole 105. Multiple fixing bolts 61 pass through the corresponding first fixing hole 105 and second fixing hole 601 in sequence to fix the mounting base 10 and the side cover 60 together.

[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0042] When the reel 52 rotates, due to Lenz's law, the magnetic component 70 resists the rotation of the reel, thus generating a braking force. Simultaneously, because forces are reciprocal, the magnetic component 70 also tends to rotate with the reel. In the initial stage of casting, the reel 52 rotates at a high speed, and the magnetic force on the magnetic component 70 is strong. At this time, the magnetic component 70 overcomes the tension of the elastic component 40 and moves along the guide groove 103. Therefore, the magnetic component 70 moves closer to the reel assembly 50, thereby increasing the braking force of the reel and preventing "line breakage." In the middle and later stages of casting, the reel 52 rotates at a lower speed, and the magnetic force on the magnetic component 70 is weaker. The elastic component 40 causes the magnetic component 70 to return to its original position along the guide groove 103, thus moving the magnetic component 70 away from the reel assembly 50. This reduces the braking force of the reel, allowing for a longer cast distance.

[0043] The key design feature of this invention is as follows: A mounting base, a magnetic component, and an elastic component are mounted on the mounting base. The mounting base has an annularly extending movable cavity with a guide groove penetrating its sidewall. The center line of the guide groove gets closer to the sidewall of the mounting base near the outer reel. The magnetic component has a guide portion that engages with the guide groove. The magnetic component moves back and forth within the movable cavity along the guide groove through this engagement. This allows the fishing reel to generate braking force during rapid rotation due to Lenz's law. Simultaneously, because forces are reciprocal, the magnetic component also tends to follow the reel's rotation. In the initial casting stage, the reel rotates at a high speed, resulting in a strong magnetic force on the magnetic component. This force overcomes the elastic force of the elastic component, causing the magnetic component to move along the guide groove. Consequently, the magnetic component approaches the reel assembly, increasing the reel's braking force and preventing line breakage. In the middle and later stages of casting, the reel speed decreases, the magnetic force on the magnetic component is smaller, and the elastic component will cause the magnetic component to return to its original position along the guide groove. As a result, the magnetic component moves away from the reel assembly, thereby reducing the braking force of the reel and making the casting farther. This gives it an adaptive braking adjustment function, which can simultaneously meet the user's needs for both long casting and avoiding line breakage, making it more functional.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
