Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fishing gear, in particular to an automatic fishing reel. Background Art

[0002] The traditional fishing process often requires the angler to watch with his eyes and operate manually, and the process of reeling the fish needs manual control. If the control is not good, it is easy to cause the hook to come off, the line to be cut, the rod to break and the fish to escape. For this purpose, a variety of automatic reel fishing reels have been developed, which are usually driven by motors or coil springs, and have the disadvantages of complex structure, large and bulky. Although the automatic reeling function is realized, some negative effects are produced, such as the reeling length or the reeling duration is limited, the unloading force adjustment is affected, or the linkage performance of the reeling and releasing is poor. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides an automatic fishing reel: the spool has two symmetrical one-way bearings, the rotation directions of the two one-way bearings are opposite to each other, the friction force generated by the unloading module and the rotational force generated by the power module act on the spool through the two one-way bearings respectively, so that the spool has the functions of automatic unloading line release and automatic line reeling.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an automatic fishing reel, including a spool, a force unloading module, a power module, a one-way bearing 1, a one-way bearing 2, a check module, a bracket, a trigger rod, a rocker arm, a fishing line, a swing arm and a wheel seat, the spool is provided with mounting holes and stop grooves for the one-way bearing 1 and the one-way bearing 2; the one-way bearing 1 is installed on the spool, located on the left half of the spool, and is movably connected to the friction plate shaft of the force unloading module; the one-way bearing 2 is installed on the spool, located on the right half of the spool, and is movably connected to the output shaft of the power module; the power module is driven by a disc spring or a motor; the force unloading module adopts a friction plate force unloading structure commonly found in fishing reels; the check module The one-way gear (ratchet) check mechanism commonly found in fishing reels is adopted; the rocker arm is connected to the input shaft of the power module by transmission, and the rocker arm is manually cranked to tighten the coil spring to store energy; a line loop and an elbow are provided on the trigger rod, which is hinged to the bracket at the top, and a line notch is provided on the line loop. The fishing line passes through the line loop, and the line loop is lifted upward to press the elbow down and fit into the stop groove to lock the spool. When the fish bites the hook and pulls the fishing line, the line loop is pressed down, and the elbow is lifted up and leaves the stop groove. The spool is unlocked and starts to rotate, driving the fishing line to rise, and the fish hook hooks the fish's mouth. The reeling force keeps the fishing line in tension at all times, and the fish hook will not easily become unhooked and the fish will escape. When the fish exerts force, the line is automatically released and the line is reeled in when the fish stops exerting force, thereby realizing automatic fishing.

[0005] The spool has two symmetrical one-way bearings, the one-way bearing movably connected to the unloading module is one-way bearing 1, and the one-way bearing movably connected to the power module is one-way bearing 2. The rotation directions of the two one-way bearings are opposite to each other, that is, if the one-way bearing 1 is set to be locked in the clockwise direction and rotate freely in the counterclockwise direction, then the one-way bearing 2 is set to rotate freely in the clockwise direction and locked in the counterclockwise direction; conversely, if the one-way bearing 1 is set to rotate freely in the clockwise direction and locked in the counterclockwise direction, then the one-way bearing 2 is set to be locked in the clockwise direction and rotate freely in the counterclockwise direction; the friction force generated by the unloading module and the rotational force generated by the power module act on the spool through the two one-way bearings respectively, so that the spool has the functions of automatic unloading line release and automatic line reeling.

[0006] The unloading module is used to generate friction for releasing the line, and the size of the friction force is adjusted by a knob; the power module is used to generate rotational force for reeling in the line; when the fishing line tension is greater than the friction force generated by the unloading module and the rotational force generated by the power module, the spool starts to rotate to release the line, which is called unloading line release. At this time, the two one-way bearings rotate in the same direction and automatically tighten the coil spring to store energy through the output shaft of the power module connected thereto; when the fishing line tension is less than the rotational force of the power module, the spool starts to rotate in the opposite direction to reel in the line. At this time, the one-way bearing rotates freely in the same direction and does not generate resistance to reeling in, until the energy stored in the coil spring is completely released, and the hand-cranked rocker arm tightens the coil spring to continue to automatically reel in the line.

[0007] The one-way gear (ratchet) check mechanism commonly found in fishing reels can also play the role of a one-way bearing. Therefore, the connection between the spool and the unloading module can also adopt the one-way gear (ratchet) check mechanism commonly found in fishing reels whose rotation direction is consistent with that of the one-way bearing; the connection between the spool and the power module can also adopt a fixed connection between the spool and the output shaft of the power module.

[0008] The swing arm is used to connect and fix the force unloading module to the bracket. One end of the swing arm is hinged to the bracket, and the other end is inserted into the groove of the force unloading module and fixed.

[0009] The power module is driven by a coil spring or a motor. The coil spring is a flat volute spring. The flat volute spring is a single one or a group. A group of flat volute springs can be connected in parallel or in series. Parallel connection can increase the winding force, and series connection can extend the winding length. Motor drive refers to a motor controlled by a battery-powered integrated circuit to provide the rotational force for winding.

[0010] The bracket and the wheel seat are connected and fixed by bolts. The bolts are hand-tightened bolts that can be loosened and tightened manually. The bolts are loosened to rotate the spool horizontally by 90 degrees and then tightened again, with the spool facing forward and the swing arm facing backward. Unscrewing the screws, the swing arm is separated from the groove of the unloading module; the fishing line is taken out from the line-passing notch of the line ring, and the line can be cast out like a spinning reel, and reset after casting is completed.

[0011] Usage steps: install the fishing reel on the fishing rod, install the fishing line on the fishing reel, pass the fishing line through the line ring, install relevant fishing gear accessories, and finally connect the fish hook and sub-line group; lift the line ring upwards, press the elbow down and fit into the stop groove to lock the spool, put on the bait and throw it into the water, turn the crank arm by hand to tighten the coil spring, wait for the fish to bite the hook and pull the fishing line, the line ring is pressed down, the elbow rises and leaves the stop groove, the spool is unlocked and starts to rotate, driving the fishing line to rise, the fish hook hooks the fish mouth, and the reeling force keeps the fishing line in tension at all times, so the fish hook will not easily fall off the hook and let the fish escape. When the fish exerts force, the line is automatically unloaded and the line is released, and when the fish stops exerting force, the line is automatically reeled in, thereby realizing automatic fishing.

[0012] The materials and components used in the automatic fishing reel provided by the present invention are materials and components commonly found in fishing gear accessories, as well as other well-known common materials and general components.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: providing an automatic fishing reel with two symmetrical one-way bearings with opposite rotation directions, so that the reel has the functions of automatic unloading line release and automatic line reeling, and has a simple structure and a compact size.

[0016] The spool 1 has two symmetrical one-way bearings including a one-way bearing 1 4 and a one-way bearing 2 5. The rotation directions of the two one-way bearings are opposite to each other, that is, if the one-way bearing 1 4 is set to be locked in the clockwise direction and rotate freely in the counterclockwise direction, then the one-way bearing 2 5 is set to rotate freely in the clockwise direction and locked in the counterclockwise direction; conversely, if the one-way bearing 1 4 is set to rotate freely in the clockwise direction and locked in the counterclockwise direction, then the one-way bearing 2 5 is set to be locked in the clockwise direction and rotate freely in the counterclockwise direction; the friction force generated by the unloading module 2 and the rotational force generated by the power module 3 act on the spool 1 through the two one-way bearings respectively, so that the spool 1 has the functions of automatic unloading and automatic line-reeling.

[0017] The unloading module 2 is used to generate friction, and the size of the friction is adjusted by a knob; the power module 3 is used to generate rotational force for line reeling; when the pulling force of the fishing line 10 is greater than the friction force generated by the unloading module 2 and the rotational force generated by the power module 3, the spool 1 starts to rotate and release the line, which is called unloading line release. At this time, the one-way bearing 25 rotates in the same direction and automatically tightens the coil spring 25 to store energy through the output shaft 12 of the power module 3 connected thereto; when the pulling force of the fishing line 10 is less than the rotational force of the power module 3, the spool 1 starts to rotate in the opposite direction to reel in the line.
