[0001] cross-reference

[0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application 2021-023377 (filed on February 17, 2021), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0003] The present invention relates to a fishing reel capable of calculating the length of the fishing line at the time of casting, an information processing device, and a fishing information processing system having the fishing reel and the information processing device. Background Technology

[0004] Previously, various spinning reels capable of releasing fishing line were known. When fishing using such spinning reels, the angler had to rely solely on their sense of touch to determine how much line had been released when casting bait or lure.

[0005] As a fishing reel capable of detecting the release or winding of fishing line, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a fishing line detection device for a spinning reel that detects fishing line wound on a spool or fishing line released from a spool. This fishing line detection device for a spinning reel has a light-emitting part and a light-receiving part that receives light emitted from the light-emitting part. In this fishing line detection device for a spinning reel, a sensor is provided on a stationary part of the spinning reel or on a fishing rod on which the spinning reel is mounted. The sensor detects the fishing line in a non-contact manner when the fishing line is wound on the spool or when the fishing line is released from the spool.

[0006] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a counter device for a spinning reel, which includes a control unit. This control unit makes the amount of fishing line wound corresponding to a predetermined amount of motion of a drive unit that operates when the fishing line is wound onto the spool a measurable data point, and holds the data in a storage unit while the fishing line is being wound. When the cast hook assembly is pulled closer from a predetermined position, the control unit measures the amount of motion of the drive unit until the winding of the fishing line is completed, and based on the measurement result and the data held in the storage unit, it notifies the distance between the predetermined position and the device.

[0010] Patent Document 2: Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 4-009565 Summary of the Invention

[0011] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0012] However, even when using the photoelectric sensor of Patent Document 1 to measure the length of the fishing line, there are still problems such as erroneous detection due to the influence of external light, making it difficult to accurately measure the length of the fishing line. Furthermore, in the method of Patent Document 2, the user needs to press a reset button after the casting begins, so there is a possibility of forgetting to press the button or pressing it accidentally at the start of casting, resulting in inaccurate line length calculation. Moreover, if the fishing line is released due to the drag force when a fish bites, even if the line length is calculated based on the amount of motion of the drive unit, it will deviate from the actual flight distance of the fishing line, thus making it difficult to accurately determine the line length.

[0013] The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a fishing reel, an information processing device, and a fishing information processing system equipped with the fishing reel and the information processing device, which can more accurately calculate the flight distance of the fishing line (the length of the released fishing line) and notify the angler of the flight distance when fishing using a fishing reel.

[0044] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 Embodiments of the fishing reel and the like of the present invention will be described in detail below. Common components in the various drawings are labeled with the same reference numerals in all of them. It should be noted that, for ease of explanation, the drawings are not necessarily shown in exact scale.

[0045] First, refer to Figure 1 The structure of a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0046] As shown in the figure, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include: a casting detection unit 2, which includes a casting start detection unit for detecting the start of casting and a casting end detection unit for detecting the end of casting; a handle rotation detection unit 3, which detects the rotation speed of the handle of the fishing reel 1; and a line length calculation unit 4, which calculates the length of the released fishing line, the line length calculation unit 4 calculating the length of the fishing line based on the rotation speed of the handle detected by the handle rotation detection unit 3 from the start of casting to the end of casting.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a fishing reel 1 is provided that, when fishing, can more accurately calculate the flight distance of the fishing line (the length of the released fishing line) and notify the angler of the flight distance.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a storage unit 5, which is capable of storing at least one or all of the following: information on casting start, casting end, handle rotation speed, or fishing line length.

[0049] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit 6 capable of displaying the length of the fishing line. Thus, when fishing, the angler can be informed of the distance the fishing line has traveled (the length of the released fishing line). Moreover, the display unit 6 can also display at least one of the following: casting start, casting end, and handle rotation speed. Furthermore, an output unit (not shown) can be additionally provided to inform the angler of the distance the fishing line has traveled (the length of the released fishing line) via sound or the like during fishing. This output unit can perform various outputs besides sound, and is not limited to a specific method.

[0050] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a transmitting and receiving unit 7 comprising a transmitting unit and a receiving unit, through which the transmitting unit 7 transmits information about the length of the fishing line to an external device. Here, the external device may be referred to as a computer, smartphone, smart glasses, smartwatch, or fishing-specific device, but is not limited thereto.

[0051] Here, the calculation of the fishing line length is performed for each individual cast. The timing of the end of each cast is determined by detecting the end of the current cast or the start of the next cast. After calculating the line length for the current cast, the result is stored in the storage unit 5. Then, in order to calculate the line length for the next cast, the calculated line length is initialized (reset). Furthermore, the handle rotation speed can also be initialized (reset). This prevents the mixing of line lengths from each individual cast.

[0052] Furthermore, in the fishing reel 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the current cast can be determined by the detection of the start of the next cast by the casting start detection unit 2. When the start of the next cast is detected, it also means the end of the current cast. Therefore, by determining the detection of the start of the next cast as the detection of the end of the current cast, the information of the start of the cast can be utilized more effectively.

[0053] In a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the casting start detection unit and the casting end detection unit of the casting detection unit 2 are line guides, the end of the current casting can also be determined by detecting the action of the line guide operated during casting. Therefore, there is an advantage that casting detection can be performed without the angler needing to perform additional actions such as pressing a button.

[0054] like Figure 1As shown, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a drag release detection unit 8 for detecting the amount of drag released, and a line length calculation unit 4 calculates the length of the fishing line by subtracting the difference based on the drag release amount detected by the drag release detection unit 8 from the length of the fishing line based on the handle rotation speed. Furthermore, in the fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the drag release amount can be initialized based on the detection of the end of casting or the detection of the start of casting.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a fishing reel 1 can more accurately calculate the flight distance of the fishing line (the length of the released fishing line) when fishing.

[0056] Next, refer to Figure 2 The method for calculating the length of the fishing line released by the fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0057] First, in step S1, it is determined whether the throwing has ended. If the throwing has ended, proceed to step S7 to send (or save) the calculated line length data. Then, proceed to step S8 to initialize (reset) the line length data. At this time, the handle rotation speed can also be initialized (reset).

[0058] In step S1, determine whether the casting has ended. If the casting has not ended, i.e., the casting is in progress, proceed to step S2 to determine whether the handle of the fishing reel is rotating. If the handle is not rotating, proceed to step S4. If the handle is rotating, proceed to step S3 to calculate the length A of the fishing line reeled in (released) based on the rotation speed of the handle.

[0059] Next, proceed to step S4 to determine if the reel is rotating. If the reel is not rotating, proceed to step S6 and determine the line length A as the length C of the retrieved (released) fishing line. On the other hand, if the reel is rotating, proceed to step S5 and calculate the line length B based on this. Then, proceed to step S6 and calculate the length C of the retrieved (released) fishing line as line length A - line length B.

[0060] This allows for a more accurate and reliable calculation of the amount of fishing line released, i.e., the length of the fishing line retrieved, when fishing.

[0061] Next, refer to Figure 3The following describes a fishing information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the fishing information processing system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a fishing reel 1 and an information processing device 10. The fishing reel 1 includes a casting detection unit 2, which includes a casting start detection unit for detecting the start of casting and a casting end detection unit for detecting the end of casting; and a handle rotation detection unit 3, which detects the rotational speed of the handle of the fishing reel 1. The information processing device 10 includes a line length calculation unit 14 for calculating the length of the released fishing line. The line length calculation unit 14 calculates the length of the fishing line based on the rotational speed of the handle detected by the handle rotation detection unit 3 from the start of casting to the end of casting.

[0062] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, in a fishing information processing system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the information processing device 10 is configured to include a transmitting and receiving unit 17, which receives information from the fishing reel 1 regarding the start of casting, the end of casting, and the rotation speed of the handle of the fishing reel 1. Moreover, the information processing device 10 includes a storage unit 15, thereby enabling the storage of this information.

[0063] Furthermore, in a fishing information processing system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the transmitting and receiving unit 17 of the information processing device 10 can send the calculated line length information to the fishing reel 1. In this way, the fishing reel 1 can receive the line length information from the outside and display it on the display unit 6. This eliminates the burden of line length calculation processing for the fishing reel 1. Moreover, an output unit (not shown) can be separately provided to receive the line length information from the outside and notify the angler of the line length via sound or the like. This output unit can perform various outputs besides sound, and is not limited to a specific method.

[0064] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, in a fishing information processing system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the information processing device 10 is configured to include a display unit 16, which displays the calculated length of the fishing line. Furthermore, the display unit 16 can also display overall fishing information, including the start and end of casting, and the rotation speed of the handle of the fishing reel 1. In this way, fishing information can be uniformly managed by an information processing device external to the fishing reel. Moreover, an output unit (not shown) can be separately provided to notify the angler of information related to the overall fishing information via sound or the like. This output unit can perform various outputs besides sound, and is not limited to a specific method.

[0065] In one embodiment of the fishing information processing system 100 of the present invention, the information processing device 10 is a portable terminal, a wearable terminal, or a computer device. More specifically, smartphones, smart glasses, smartwatches, or fishing-specific devices are considered. Various other devices are considered in relation to the information processing device 10, and it is not limited to any particular device.

[0066] As described above, an information processing apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include: a transmitting and receiving unit 17 having a receiving unit that receives information from an external source (a fishing reel); and a line length calculation unit 14 that calculates the length of the fishing line. The receiving unit receives information from the external source (the fishing reel) about the start of casting, information about the end of casting, and information about the rotation speed of the handle. The line length calculation unit 14 calculates the length of the fishing line based on this information.

[0067] Next, refer to Figure 4 The handle rotation detection unit 3 described above will be explained in more detail. As shown in the figure, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a handle rotation detection unit 3 for detecting the rotational speed of its handle. The handle rotation detection unit consists of a slit plate 22 and a light cutoff device 23. The rotational speed of the handle is detected by measuring the rotation of the slit plate 22 mounted on the handle shaft 21 using the light cutoff device 23. Here, the object measured is not limited to this; it may also be a gear or the like that synchronized with the rotation of the handle, or a rotor that increases speed according to the gear ratio. Moreover, the detection method may be performed in a manner other than using a light cutoff device, and is not limited to a specific method.

[0068] Next, refer to Figure 5 The throwing detection unit 2 described above will be explained in more detail. As shown in the figure, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a throwing detection unit 2 that detects the start or end of a throw, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a magnet 25 is installed in the line guide section 24, and a Hall element 27 is installed in the reel foot 26, thereby detecting the movement of the line guide section 24 and thus detecting the start and end of casting. Regarding casting detection, various methods are considered besides detecting the movement of the line guide section, such as detecting acceleration that may change due to casting, detecting the movement of an object swaying during the casting motion, and detecting the release speed of the fishing line. Other methods will be described later. This casting detection method is not limited to a specific approach.

[0069] Next, refer to Figure 6 The drag release amount detection unit 8 described above will be explained in more detail. As shown in the figure, a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a drag release amount detection unit 8 for detecting drag release amount, such as... Figure 6As shown, when the drum 28 rotates due to dragging, a magnet 30 is installed on a rotating body 29 connected to it in a manner that rotates synchronously with the drum. The rotation of the rotating body 29 with the magnet 30 installed, which accompanies the rotation of the drum 28, is detected by a Hall element 31. The amount of drum rotation is calculated, thereby enabling the calculation of the drag release amount. Various methods are considered for detecting the drum rotation, such as installing a Hall element on the drag handle and a magnet on the drum, or arranging a light sensor inside the drum and a slotted plate or reflector inside the drum. Various methods are considered for detecting the drum rotation, including the detection point, the detected part, and the sensor; no particular method is limited to any one method.

[0070] Next, refer to Figure 7 The method for calculating the length of the released fishing line based on the detection of the action of the line guide will be explained in more detail. As shown in the figure, in the fishing reel 1 of one embodiment of the present invention, when the method of detecting the action of the line guide is adopted as the method of detecting the casting, the action of the line guide operated at the time of casting is detected, and data detection is started as a trigger based on this.

[0071] As shown in the diagram, the rotation of the handle and the reel is monitored. When the handle rotates, the retrieved line length L1 is calculated based on the amount of rotation. When the reel rotates, the released line length L2 is calculated based on the amount of rotation. When the handle rotates but the reel does not, the retrieved line length (retrieval distance) is L3 = L1. When both the handle and the reel rotate, the released line length (estimated flight distance) is L3 = L1 - L2. Then, at the moment the liner operates, the casting is considered complete, and the calculated line length is output as the estimated flight distance L3. Here, in the case of a typical spinning reel (except for reels with a brake lever), the components of the reel do not rotate or perform other actions during line release and remain stationary. Therefore, even if the internal components of the reel are measured, the amount of line released cannot be detected.

[0072] However, in typical fishing, the line length at the start of casting is usually roughly the same. Therefore, assuming that line elongation or breakage can be ignored, the amount of line retrieved up to the start of casting can be considered as the amount of line previously cast.

[0073] In addition to serving as a throwing detection unit, it can utilize acceleration values ​​by using an acceleration sensor installed on a fishing rod or fishing reel. In this case, a certain threshold is set for the acceleration value, and the throwing is determined to begin when the value exceeds the threshold, thereby enabling various detection / calculation processes or outputting the result.

[0074] The detection information between each throw can be continuously output, or the current winding amount or the release amount caused by drag can be continuously displayed on various output devices. In the case of the next throw, this output information related to the previous throw is initialized (reset).

[0075] Next, refer to Figure 8 The method for outputting the average speed of the handle rotation will be explained. As shown in the figure, in a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, when outputting the average speed of the handle rotation of the fishing reel 1, after the action of the line guide is detected due to the casting action, an action occurs that causes the fishing line to slack, allowing it to be retrieved and the bait to sink to any water depth. To ignore the rotation speed during this period, the time T1 is obtained using the timing function of a microcomputer from the start of the bait retrieval action, for example, at the 5th rotation, and the time T2 is obtained again using the timing function of the microcomputer from the start of the retrieval action at the 15th rotation. The handle rotation speed between T1 and T2 is obtained, thereby calculating the average speed V1 of the handle rotation between T1 and T2 at the time T2 is obtained. V1 can be output at the moment when the bait is retrieved and the action of the line guide is detected for the next casting. In this way, when the angler makes the next and subsequent castings and wants to reproduce the stored previous handle rotation speed, the calculated handle rotation speed can be referenced more accurately.

[0076] Next, refer to Figure 9 of (a), Figure 9 (b) describes a method for correcting the length of the released fishing line. In the illustrated method, based on the pre-determined relationship between the bottom diameter D of the reel 28 and the rotational speed N of the handle required to wind the length L of the line, a correction value for the length of the retrieved (released) line is calculated for the handle's rotational speed N. This corrects for the amount of line retrieved (released) Z per rotation of the reel 28, which is caused by the change in diameter D' due to the retrieval (release) of the fishing line, and the line length is then calculated. This amount of line retrieved (released) Z can be expressed as follows.

[0077] Recovery (Release) Z = Handle speed N × Gear ratio × Correction value for line length

[0078] This allows for more accurate calculation of the line length.

[0079] Next, refer to Figure 10 of (a), Figure 10 (b) will describe another aspect of the method for detecting the end of casting of a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a casting detection unit for detecting the end of casting (the start of casting), such as Figure 10 of (a), Figure 10 As shown in (b), a detection part 33 is provided on the rotating part 31 side of the fishing reel, which is configured to protrude with the operation of the line guide part. When this detection part 33 protrudes ( Figure 10 In the state of (b), the detection unit 34 is positioned on the side of the main body 32 of the fishing reel 1 in such a way that it contacts the detected part 33. In this way, by detecting the contact between the detected part 33 and the detection unit 34 caused by the movement of the line reel, the end of casting (the start of casting) can be detected.

[0080] Next, refer to Figure 11 of (a), Figure 11 (b) will describe another aspect of the method for detecting the end of casting using a fishing reel 1 or the like according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a fishing rod 30 equipped with a fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a casting detection unit for detecting the end of casting (the start of casting), but as... Figure 11 of (a), Figure 11 As shown in (b), a detection part 35 is provided on the fishing line, and a detection part 36, such as a non-contact limit switch, is provided on the fishing rod 30. This detection part 36 detects the approach of the detection part 35. Figure 11 (b)). In this way, by detecting the approach of the detection part 35, which is set on the fishing line, to the detection part 36, the end of the casting can be detected. Here, in the illustrated example, the detection part 36 is set on the fishing rod 30, but the detection part 36 can also be set on the fishing reel 1.

[0081] Next, refer to Figure 12 Another aspect of the method for detecting the end of casting using a fishing reel 1 or the like according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in the figure, a detection unit 38 for detecting the end of casting (the start of casting) is provided on other fishing tackle near the fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. On the other hand, a detection unit 37 is provided on the fishing line, and the detection unit 38 is configured to be able to determine the communication status or distance with the detection unit. Thus, based on the communication status (communication enabled, communication interrupted) or distance (less than a predetermined distance, greater than a predetermined distance) with the detection unit 35 provided on the fishing line, it is determined whether the user is in the area where the detection unit 37 is casting, or whether the user is not in the area where casting is being performed, thereby enabling the detection of the end of casting (the start of casting). Here, in the illustrated example, the detection unit 38 is provided as an example of being provided with other fishing tackle, but the detection unit 38 may also be provided on the fishing reel 1 or the fishing rod 30.

[0082] Next, refer to Figure 13Other embodiments of the handle rotation detection unit 3 and the drag release amount detection unit 8 of the fishing reel 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, the dragging mechanism, in addition to the above-described... Figure 6 In addition to the method shown of rotating the drum relative to the spindle, this can also be achieved by rotating the rotor relative to the handle. The following will use... Figure 13 This method will be explained in more detail.

[0083] Figure 13 As shown, the spool 28 is fixed to the main shaft 39, which is supported so that it cannot rotate relative to the reel body 40. Alternatively, an oscillator mechanism can be included, which moves the main shaft 39 axially up and down according to the rotation of the rotor 41, thereby evenly winding the fishing line onto the spool 28. This oscillator mechanism can appropriately use conventionally known mechanisms; for simplicity, in... Figure 13 Omitted in .

[0084] The rotor 41 is fixed to the pinion 42 and receives rotational transmission through the end face gear 43 of the pinion 42. A drag mechanism is then provided between the rotor 41 and the handle 44. This allows the rotor 41 to idle relative to the handle 44 when subjected to a torque exceeding a set value, thereby preventing the fishing line from breaking. In the illustrated example, a conventionally known drag mechanism is provided between the handle 44 and the end face gear, but the same function can be achieved by providing a drag mechanism between the pinion 42 and the rotor 41.

[0085] exist Figure 13 In the structure shown, the amount of fishing line retrieved can be obtained by reading the rotational speed of the rotor 41. Therefore, a detection part (e.g., rotor detection part 45) is provided on the rotor 41 or a part that rotates depending on the rotor 41 (rotor itself, pinion, end face gear, etc.), and a detection part (e.g., rotor detection part 46) is provided on the reel body 40 opposite to the detection part.
