Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fishing gear, and in particular to a light-changing fishing line guiding device and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In fishing activities, fishing line is an important medium connecting fishermen and fish. However, since fishing line is usually made of fine, transparent nylon or other synthetic materials, it is difficult for fishermen to see the position and status of the fishing line clearly in low light or obstructed vision, which brings certain difficulties and inconveniences to fishing. In order to solve this problem, various fishing line guiding devices have appeared on the market. These devices usually make the fishing line more obvious in low light environments by emitting light or reflecting light, thereby improving the angler's perception and operating efficiency. Similar products include luminous lead sinkers, which mainly come in two forms: luminous and LED luminous. However, both of these are in a continuous luminous state when used. When thrown into the water, the light is more likely to disturb the fish and affect the fishing experience. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a variable light fishing line guiding device and a control method.

[0003] However, one of the shortcomings of the related prior art is that it is not possible to determine whether light emission is required by judging whether the device is in water. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, a first object of the present invention is to provide a light-changing fishing line guiding device.

[0006] A second object of the present invention is to provide a control method for a light-changing fishing line guiding device.

[0007] To achieve the first purpose of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention provides a light-changing fishing line guiding device, which includes: a control chip, the control chip includes a capacitive sensing device; a light-emitting device, the light-emitting device is connected to the control chip; a power supply, the power supply is connected to the light-emitting device and the control chip.

[0008] The light-emitting device illuminates the fishing line, helping anglers to clearly see the position of the fishing line in low light or obstructed vision, so as to more accurately control the fishing line and monitor the status of the bait. At night or in very dimly lit environments, the fishing line can be clearly seen, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of night fishing. The capacitance change of the surrounding environment is sensed by the capacitive sensing device. When the fishing line guiding device moves from the air to the water or from the water to the air, the capacitive sensing device senses the change in the capacitance of the surrounding environment. The control chip makes corresponding operations according to the change and sends corresponding information to the light-emitting device. The light-emitting device determines whether to light up according to the information sent by the control chip. The control chip and the light-emitting device are powered by a power supply.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the control chip also includes an oscillator, and the oscillator is connected to the capacitive sensing device.

[0010] The combination of an oscillator and a capacitive sensing device can achieve highly sensitive detection of changes in the state of the fishing line. Because the oscillator can generate a stable high-frequency signal, when the state of the fishing line changes, such as entering the water from the air or emerging from the water from the air, it will cause a change in the capacitance value. This change will be immediately reflected in the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator, allowing the device to respond quickly to environmental changes. During the fishing process, the fishing line may be interfered by various external factors, such as water flow, wind, etc. The combination of an oscillator and a capacitive sensing device can effectively filter out these interference signals. Because the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator has a certain stability and regularity, the algorithm can be used to distinguish between normal environmental changes and interference signals, thereby maintaining the stability and accuracy of the device.

[0011] In any of the above technical solutions, the control chip also includes a counter, and the counter is connected to the oscillator.

[0012] The counter can accurately monitor and record the state changes of the indicator device by recording the frequency changes of the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator. The counter can also convert the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator into a digital signal. Digital signals are less susceptible to noise and interference than analog signals, so the accuracy is improved during the transmission and processing of the signal. Digital signals are easy to be processed by computer systems and can be easily stored, analyzed and subsequently processed, such as amplification and filtering. Digital systems are usually easier to debug and maintain than analog systems because the state of digital signals is either high or low, and it is relatively simple to diagnose problems.

[0013] In any of the above technical solutions, the control chip also includes an amplifier circuit, and the amplifier circuit is connected to the counter.

[0014] The enhanced signal is less susceptible to external electromagnetic interference, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the system. The amplified signal can be easily fed into subsequent digital circuits or processing units for further processing, such as analysis, conversion or storage. During the amplification process, the effective information in the signal is more prominent, while the influence of noise is relatively reduced, which helps to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. By adjusting the amplification parameters, the amplification circuit can adapt to different application scenarios and meet different power and sensitivity requirements.

[0015] In any of the above technical solutions, the light-changing fishing line guiding device also includes: a sensing circuit board, which is connected to the control chip, the light-emitting device, and the power supply.

[0016] The sensing range of the capacitive sensing device in the control chip is relatively small. The sensing range of the capacitive sensing device can be expanded by connecting an external sensing circuit board, ensuring that the sensing range of the capacitive sensing device can break through the sealed housing to sense the capacitance changes in the surrounding environment. Connecting the control chip, the light-emitting device, the power supply and the sensing circuit board can make the device more integrated and improve the integrity of the guidance device.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the sensing circuit board is formed by a flexible circuit board with copper attached.

[0018] Compared with traditional rigid circuit boards, flexible circuit boards are lighter, easier to install and use, and reduce the overall weight of the device. Flexible circuit boards have good bending properties and can be deformed according to specific shapes and design requirements, making them easy to adapt to different space constraints and layouts. Copper has good electrical conductivity. Using copper materials on circuit boards can effectively reduce resistance and improve the conduction efficiency of circuits. Copper has high strength, allowing flexible circuit boards to maintain good structural stability even when bent or folded. Because the thickness of copper can be relatively thin, flexible circuit boards with copper can be lighter than traditional rigid circuit boards and are suitable for portable and miniaturized devices.

[0019] In any of the above technical solutions, the light-changing fishing line guiding device also includes: a supporting structure, which is against the induction circuit board and the power supply.

[0020] The support structure provides physical support to ensure that the inductive circuit board and power supply remain stable without being easily disturbed or vibrated, thus improving the stability of the overall device. The design of the support structure helps prevent the circuit board and power supply from being displaced or damaged during use, reducing short circuits or safety hazards caused by improper fixing. The support structure can help dissipate heat, especially under high load, to keep the temperature of the power supply and circuit board within an acceptable range and extend their service life. A good support structure ensures good contact of the circuit connection, reduces contact resistance and electrical loss, and improves the overall efficiency of the circuit. A well-supported structure makes installation and maintenance more convenient, and can quickly replace or repair the circuit board and power supply.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, the supporting structure is provided with a through hole, and the fishing line passes through the through hole.

[0022] The through-hole design allows the fishing line to pass through the support structure easily, improving the convenience of installation. The through-hole design can avoid direct friction between the fishing line and other components, reduce the risk of wear and breakage of the fishing line and the guiding device, and extend the service life.

[0023] In any of the above technical solutions, the light-changing fishing line guiding device also includes: a shell, and the supporting structure is placed in the shell.

[0024] The housing provides additional structural support, which helps to improve the stability of the supporting structure and keep the device safe and secure in various working conditions. The housing can effectively protect the internal supporting structure, as well as components such as circuit boards and power supplies, and prevent them from being damaged by external environmental factors such as dust and impact, thereby extending the service life of the device. In addition, when the device is working in water for a long time, the waterproof housing can effectively isolate the water in the surrounding environment to prevent water from entering the device and causing damage to the electronic components.

[0025] To achieve the second purpose of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a light-changing fishing line guiding device, which is used to control a light-changing fishing line guiding device such as any of the above-mentioned technical solutions, and determines whether the light-changing fishing line guiding device changes light according to the position of the light-changing fishing line guiding device, which includes: step S110: a capacitance sensing device senses the capacitance change from air to water or from water to air in real time; step S120: when the capacitance changes, the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes accordingly; step S130: a counter monitors and records the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator, and when the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes, the counter converts the change of the high-frequency signal into a digital signal; step S140: the amplifier circuit amplifies the digital signal and sends the amplified digital signal to the light-emitting device; step S140: the light-emitting device determines whether the light is bright according to the digital signal.

[0026] Sensitive detection of capacitance changes can provide accurate information, ensuring that the device can accurately identify environmental conditions in water or air, and improve the accuracy of judgment. Using capacitive sensing, the structure is relatively simple, easy to implement, maintain and produce, and does not have to rely on complex sensor systems. Through the design of oscillators and counters, this method can work under low power conditions, extend the battery life of the device, and is suitable for long-term outdoor use. The amplifier circuit can ensure that the strength of the digital signal is sufficient, avoid misjudgment caused by weak signals, and improve system stability. The light-emitting device makes light judgments based on digital signals, and different lighting modes can be set according to different environments, such as lighting on the water and off underwater, or off the water and lighting underwater.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a light-changing fishing line guiding device, which is hung on a fishing line for use, and includes: a control chip 10, the control chip 10 includes a capacitive sensing device 11; a light-emitting device 20, the light-emitting device 20 is connected to the control chip 10; a power supply 30, the power supply 30 is connected to the light-emitting device 20 and the control chip 10; an induction circuit board 40, the induction circuit board 40 is connected to the control chip 10, the light-emitting device 20, and the power supply 30, and the induction circuit board 40 is formed by a flexible circuit board with copper attached.

[0032] In this embodiment, the control chip 10 can be PT2043A or other chips of the same type, and the light emitting device 20 can be an LED lamp. The control chip 10 is integrated with a capacitive sensing device 11. Since the sensing range of the capacitive sensing device 11 itself is very small, a capacitive sensing area is formed by attaching copper to a large area on the flexible circuit board, thereby converting the flexible circuit board into a sensing circuit board 40. By connecting the pins of the capacitive sensing device 11 to the sensing circuit board 40, the capacitive sensing range of the capacitive sensing device 11 is expanded to ensure that it can sense the capacitance change of the surrounding environment of the guiding device. The control chip 10 and the light emitting device 20 are both connected to the sensing circuit board 40. The sensing circuit board 40 is provided with two protruding parts, which are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply 30. The power supply 30 can achieve the effect of supplying power to the control chip 10 and the light emitting device 20 through the sensing circuit board 40. When the capacitance sensing device 11 senses a change in the capacitance of the surrounding environment, for example, when the guiding device moves from water to air or from air to water, the control chip 10 will make corresponding processing and send a signal to the light-emitting device 20. After receiving the signal, the light-emitting device 20 makes a judgment and then turns on or off the light. The guiding device can set the output mode before use, setting high level effective or low level effective, correspondingly controlling the lighting device 20 to light up or turn off. In this embodiment, the variable light fishing line guiding device turns off when it enters the water and turns on when it leaves the water.

[0034] In this embodiment, the control chip 10 also integrates an oscillator 12, a counter 13 and an amplifier circuit 14. When the guiding device moves from water to air or from air to water, the capacitance received by the induction circuit board 40 will change, and this change will cause the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator 12 to change. The counter 13 will monitor the frequency change of the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator, record these changes, and then convert them into digital signals. After the digital signal is amplified by the amplifier circuit 14, the high and low levels are obtained at the output end, and finally sent to the light-emitting device 20. The light-emitting device 20 determines whether to change the light according to the received signal.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the light-changing fishing line guiding device also includes: a supporting structure 100, the supporting structure 100 is against the sensing circuit board 40 and the power supply 30; the supporting structure 100 is provided with a through hole 110, and the fishing line passes through the through hole 110; and a shell 200, the supporting structure 100 is placed in the shell 200.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the support structure 100 and the housing 200 adopt a translucent structure to ensure that the light of the light-emitting device 20 can pass through the support structure 100 and the housing 200 and be seen by the user after the light is turned on. The support structure 100 is provided with a cylindrical groove, and the power supply 30 is placed in the cylindrical groove. The inner side of the support structure 100 is also provided with a circular groove, and the induction circuit board 40 is placed in the cylindrical groove, and the cylindrical groove is partially connected with the cylindrical groove. A hollow cylinder is provided in the middle of the support structure 100, which runs through the entire support structure 100. The hollow structure inside the cylinder is a through hole 110, which is used to pass the fishing line and isolate the fishing line from the internal components. The housing 200 adopts a detachable sleeve structure with a waterproof function, which completely wraps the support structure 100 inside, and only the through hole 110 is connected to the outside.

[0037] like Figure 6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a light-changing fishing line guiding device, which is used to control the light-changing fishing line guiding device as described in any of the above embodiments, and determine whether the light-changing fishing line guiding device changes light according to the position of the light-changing fishing line guiding device. The control method includes: step S110: a capacitance sensing device senses the capacitance change from air to water or from water to air in real time; step S120: when the capacitance changes, the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes accordingly; step S130: a counter monitors and records the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator, and when the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes, the counter converts the change of the high-frequency signal into a digital signal; step S140: the amplifier circuit amplifies the digital signal and sends the amplified digital signal to the light-emitting device; step S140: the light-emitting device determines whether the light is bright according to the digital signal.

[0038] In this embodiment, the capacitance sensing device senses the capacitance change from air to water or from water to air in real time. When the capacitance received by the capacitance sensing device changes, the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes accordingly. The counter monitors and records the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator in real time. When the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes, the counter converts the change of the high-frequency signal into a digital signal, amplifies it through an amplifier circuit, and then sends it to the light-emitting device. The light-emitting device determines whether to turn on the light or off the light according to the signal. The output mode can be set before use to achieve the effect of turning off the light when water is in and turning on the light when water is out, or turning on the light when water is in and turning off the light when water is out.
