Technical Field

[0001] Cross-reference This application claims priority based on Japanese patent application No. 2022-173050 (filed on October 28, 2022), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to a spinning reel for fishing, in which a rotor is rotated by rotating a handle, and a fishing line is wound onto a spool through a fishing line guide provided on the rotor, and a fishing rod equipped with the spinning reel for fishing. Background Art

[0002] In the past, a spinning reel for fishing was mounted and fixed to a fishing rod via a rod mounting portion formed at the end of a foot extending from the reel body. On the reel body, a handle shaft for fixing a handle is rotatably supported. In addition, a driving gear is fixed to the handle shaft, and the driving gear meshes with a tooth portion formed on the outer periphery of the base end portion of the driving shaft, and the driving shaft extends in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft and is rotatably supported on the reel body. The driving shaft is supported by a rolling bearing that limits axial movement, and a rotor is integrally mounted on the top end portion, and a reel shaft extending in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft passes through the driving shaft. In addition, a reel for winding the fishing line is mounted on the top end portion of the reel shaft. The reel shaft reciprocates in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft through a reel reciprocating motion mechanism (swing mechanism) that converts the rotational force from the handle into a reel reciprocating motion mechanism (swing mechanism) that moves the reel back and forth in a direction orthogonal to the handle shaft.

[0003] Thus, by rotating the handle, the spinning reel for fishing rotates the rotor while moving the spool shaft forward and backward. Since the fishing line is wound onto the spool via the fishing line guide of the rotor, a load is applied to the drive shaft via the rotor from the fishing line wound onto the spool during the winding operation. Generally, the rolling bearing that rotatably supports the drive shaft is fixed to the reel body via a fixing member by fixing the outer ring to the reel body, and the inner ring is clamped by the drive shaft and the rotor, so that the axial movement of the drive shaft can be restricted, and the rotor can be supported at a predetermined position by fixing the rotor to the drive shaft.

[0004] As such a spinning reel for fishing, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a spinning reel mounted on a fishing rod, comprising: a reel body having a handle and being mountable on a fishing rod; a cylindrical portion rotatably supported at the front of the reel body; a first arm and a second arm disposed opposite to each other with a rotation axis sandwiched between the sides of the cylindrical portion and integrally formed on the cylindrical portion; a first wire loop support member mounted on the top end of the first arm portion and having a fishing line guide portion on the top end; a second wire loop support member mounted on the top end of the second arm portion; a rotor having a wire loop disposed from the first wire loop support member to the second wire loop support member and being rotated by the handle; and a spool disposed between the first arm portion and the second arm portion, wherein a distance from the rotation axis of the rotor to the center of gravity of the second wire loop support member is longer than a distance from the rotation axis of the rotor to the center of gravity of the first wire loop support member including the fishing line guide portion.

[0005] Patent Literature Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-246045 Summary of the invention

[0006] When the pinion gear tooth surface contacts the drive gear tooth surface in the forward direction of the fishing line winding, the pinion gear is subjected to a force in the reverse direction. Therefore, even if there is looseness in the pinion gear shaft direction, the pinion gear will be pressed in the pressing direction. However, when the input in the fishing line winding direction is discontinuous or the fishing line winding stops, the force pressing the pinion gear does not work, so it will float accordingly. This movement is transmitted to the winding side through the handle as a loose backlash, which causes the operator to feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, in order to reduce the looseness caused by such a backlash, if a washer is installed in the pinion gear shaft direction to eliminate the looseness, there is also a problem that the rotation during the fishing line winding will become heavier, resulting in damage to the smooth rotation.

[0007] The present invention is made in view of the above situation, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a spinning reel for fishing that can prevent the pinion gear from floating and reduce the generation of tooth gap by pressing the pinion gear downward in any state before the fishing line is wound, during the fishing line winding action, and after the fishing line is wound. The purpose of the present invention other than the above can be understood by referring to the entire specification.

In addition, in the spinning reel for fishing according to one embodiment of the present invention, when viewed in the axial direction of the drive shaft, the rear side of the outer ring of the rolling bearing does not contact the reel body.

[0009] In a spinning reel for fishing involved in one embodiment of the present invention, the rolling bearing limits the axial movement of the pinion and the drive shaft to the forward side, an elastic component is provided between the rolling bearing and the washer, the outer ring of the rolling bearing is mounted on the reel body, and the rear side of the outer ring of the rolling bearing does not contact the reel body when viewed in the axial direction of the drive shaft.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the spinning reel and fishing rod according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the multiple drawings, common components are marked with the same reference symbols throughout the multiple drawings. For ease of description, the drawings are not necessarily described in exact scale, and it is recommended to note this.

[0017] Figure 1 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a fishing rod according to the present invention. As shown in the diagram, a fishing rod 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a spinning reel 6 for fishing, which will be described later.

[0018] Next, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The basic structure of the spinning reel 6 for fishing according to the present invention will be described.

[0019] A spinning reel for fishing according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a reel body 12a; a leg 12b extending from the reel body 12a; and a rod mounting portion 12c formed at the end of the leg 12b and mounted on a fishing rod. A winding drive mechanism for winding a fishing line around a spool 14 is provided in the reel body 12a. Specifically, a handle shaft 18 for fixing a handle 16 is rotatably supported in the reel body 12a. A fixed drive gear 20 is provided on the handle shaft 18, and a pinion gear 22a is meshed with the drive gear 20.

[0020] The pinion gear 22a is provided on the drive shaft 22, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 18 and is rotatably supported on the reel body 12a via bearings 24a and 24b described later. A rotor 28 having a wire guide ring 26 and a fishing line guide 27 is integrally mounted on the top end of the drive shaft (drive cylinder shaft) 22.

[0021] The spool shaft 30 extending in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 18 passes through the drive shaft 22. The spool shaft 30 is arranged concentrically with the drive shaft 22 and can move forward and backward in the drive shaft 22 in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 18. The above-mentioned spool 14 around which the fishing line is wound is mounted on the top end of the spool shaft 30.

[0022] In addition, a gear 36 is formed on the handle shaft 18 to mesh with the interlocking gear 34 of the swing mechanism (reciprocating motion mechanism) 32. The swing mechanism 32 of this embodiment is a so-called gear type, and includes: a interlocking gear 34 that meshes with the gear 36 and rotates in conjunction with it; an engaging protrusion 34a that is protrudingly provided on the interlocking gear 34 and is located at a position eccentric from the rotation center axis of the interlocking gear 34; a slider 38 that is mounted on the rear end of the spool shaft 30 by a screw 31 and has a cam groove 38a that engages with the engaging protrusion 34a; and a guide rail 40 that engages with the slider 38 and guides the reciprocating motion of the slider 38. In such a swing mechanism 32, when the handle shaft 18 is rotated by the rotation operation of the handle 16, the interlocking gear 34 meshing with the gear 36 on the handle shaft 18 rotates, and the engaging protrusion 34a of the interlocking gear 34 rotates, and the slider 38 reciprocates forward and backward by the guidance of the cam groove 38a engaged with the engaging protrusion 34a. Therefore, the spool shaft 30 mounted on the slider 38 is reciprocated along the axial direction (moves forward and backward).

[0023] When the operating part (handle) 16 is rotated to rotate the handle shaft 18, the spool 14 mounted on the spool shaft 30 reciprocates forward and backward through the swing mechanism 32, and at the same time, the rotor 28 is rotated and driven through the drive gear 3, the pinion 22a, and the drive shaft 22. In this way, the fishing line is evenly wound around the spool 14 through the fishing line guide 27.

[0024] In addition, the end of a switching column 42 having a reverse rotation prevention mechanism of a well-known one-way clutch 40 for preventing the reverse rotation (rotation in the fishing line releasing direction) of the rotor 28 is passed through the rear end wall portion 13 of the reel body 12a, and a switching lever 42a is attached to the end of the switching column 42 protruding to the outside from the rear end wall portion 13. The rotor 28 can be switched between a state in which forward and reverse rotation is possible and a state in which forward rotation is possible but reverse rotation is not possible by the switching lever 42a. In addition, the one-way clutch 40 includes an inner ring 40a that is fixedly engaged with the drive shaft 22; a retainer 40b that is arranged outside the inner ring 40a and holds a plurality of rotating parts R; and an outer ring 40c that is arranged outside the retainer 40b.

[0025] The rotor 28 is clamped and fixed between, for example, a hexagonal nut 44 screwed to the top end of the drive shaft 22 and an inner ring 40a of the one-way clutch 40. An internal thread 44a is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the shaft portion of the hexagonal nut 44, and the nut 44 can be fastened to the drive shaft 22 by screwing the internal thread 44a with the external thread formed on the outer circumferential surface of the top end portion of the drive shaft 22. The outer circumferential surface of the head of the hexagonal nut 44 engages with the head of a screw member 45 screwed to the rotor 28, and the hexagonal nut 44 is prevented from rotating by the screw member 45.

[0026] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a concave annular receiving groove 44b is formed on the inner peripheral side of the head of the hexagonal nut 44. In the receiving groove 44b, a rolling bearing 48 that rotatably supports the spool shaft 30 is received through a resin collar 46a. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the rolling bearing 48 from coming out of the receiving groove 44b, a countersunk screw 49 is screwed on the end face of the hexagonal nut 44, and the rolling bearing 48 is locked by the head of the countersunk screw 49. In addition, at the rear part of the drive shaft 22, the spool shaft 30 is supported on the drive shaft 22 and the reel body 12a through the resin collar 46b, and a very small gap S is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the drive shaft 22 and the outer peripheral surface of the spool shaft 30 by the two resin collars 46a and 46b arranged in front and behind the drive shaft 22. As a result, the friction between the drive shaft 22 and the spool shaft 30 is reduced, and the drive shaft 22 and the rotor 28 can rotate smoothly and integrally in conjunction with the rotation of the handle 16 .

[0027] In addition, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive shaft 22 is supported on the front portion of the reel body 12 a in a state where the axial movement thereof is restricted by the first rolling bearing 241 and the second rolling bearing 242 .

[0028] In more detail, the drive shaft 22 (although also referred to as a drive cylinder shaft, it is referred to as a drive shaft in this specification) is formed by forming the outer diameter of the pinion 22a to be larger than the diameter of the cylinder 22b and the rear end support portion 22c, and the first rolling bearing 241 that is engaged in the stepped receiving recess 15 formed on the reel body 12a and prevented from moving backward, and the cylinder 22b is supported on the front side of the pinion 22a through a washer 50 between the pinion 22a. On the front side of the first rolling bearing 241 (the side opposite to the side where the rolling bearing 24b is located), that is, the rod top side, the second retaining plate 54 that holds the one-way clutch 40 in the reel body 12a is fixed to the reel body 12a by a fixing screw. As a result, the first rolling bearing 241 is prevented from moving forward and backward, and the drive shaft 22 is restricted from axially moving forward by the first rolling bearing 241 engaged via the pinion 22a and the washer 50. In addition, in the present embodiment, in order to make the washer 50 inserted between the pinion gear 22a engage with the inner ring 241b of the first rolling bearing 241 and hold the first rolling bearing 241 in the reel body 12a, the first retaining plate 52 inserted between the outer ring 40c of the one-way clutch 40 is engaged with the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241, but it may be reversed. In addition, although a washer may be used instead of the first retaining plate 52, in this specification, the first retaining plate 52 is used as a premise for the description. In addition, in the spinning reel 6 for fishing involved in one embodiment of the present invention, a gap 29 is provided on the rear side (second rolling bearing 242 side) of the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 when viewed in the axial direction of the drive shaft 22, and the rear side of the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 does not contact the reel body 12a. Furthermore, for example, an elastic member described in detail later is provided between the first retaining plate 52 and the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241. As another form, it may be provided between the outer ring 40c of the one-way clutch 40 and the first retaining plate 52, or between the one-way clutch 40 and the second retaining plate 54. Any form will be described in detail later.

[0029] Furthermore, the second rolling bearing 242 supporting the rear end support portion 22c of the drive shaft 22 is accommodated in the support portion 17 formed integrally with the reel body 12a. The support portion 17 includes a recess 17a in which the outer ring 242a of the second rolling bearing 242 is fitted, and a flange portion 17b protruding radially inward from the outer peripheral portion of the rear end side of the recess 17a, and the above-mentioned resin collar 46b is sandwiched between the flange portion 17b and the outer ring 242a of the second rolling bearing 242. Thus, the movement of the second rolling bearing 242 to the rear side can be prevented, and the axial movement of the drive shaft 22 to the rear side can be restricted by the second rolling bearing 242 engaged via the pinion 22a.

[0030] The inner ring 242b of the second rolling bearing 242 housed in the support portion 17 is directly connected to the pinion 22a. The second rolling bearing 242 applies force to the drive shaft 22 along the axial direction of the spool shaft 30 toward the front side (the side where the first rolling bearing 241 is located), that is, the rod top side. The first retaining plate 52, which is arranged further forward than the pinion, suppresses the pinion 22 from floating upward (forward) in the axial direction. In addition, since there is a gap 29 between the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 and the reel body 12a, the force applied by the first retaining plate 52 to the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 escapes to the pinion 22a and the second rolling bearing 242 through the inner ring 241b of the first rolling bearing 241. That is, the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 arranged in the front does not contact the reel body 12a, and can have a margin in the direction of the pinion shaft. The inner ring 241b of the first rolling bearing 241 is urged rearward, while the second rolling bearing 242 disposed rearward has its outer ring 242a locked to the reel body 12a and its inner ring 242b urged forward.

[0031] The fishing spinning reel 6 formed in this way is integrally provided with the first retaining plate 52, the first rolling bearing 241, the pinion 22, and the second rolling bearing 242 along the axial direction of the spool shaft 30, and the drive shaft 22 is subjected to force. In addition, since there is a gap between the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 and the reel body 12a, the force applied by the elastic member is not absorbed by the body, but effectively acts as a pressurization of the rolling bearing. Therefore, the slight forward and backward movement of the drive shaft 22 caused by the looseness between the inner and outer rings of the first rolling bearing 241 and the second rolling bearing 242 that restrict the axial movement of the drive shaft 22 is absorbed. In addition, the vibration of the rotor caused by the slight imbalance when the rotor 28 connected to the drive shaft 22 rotates is also integrally absorbed along the axial direction. Therefore, for example, during the reeling operation, the vibration caused by the first rolling bearing 241, the second rolling bearing 242 or the rotor 28 can be prevented from being transmitted to the angler's hand through the reel body 12a, thereby preventing the angler from feeling unpleasant. At the same time, the loosening of the rolling bearing can be suppressed, thereby extending the service life of the rolling bearing.

[0032] A spinning reel 6 for fishing involved in one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an operating part 16; a reel body 12a; a drive shaft 22, which is rotatably supported at the front part of the reel body 12a by a first rolling bearing 241 and rotates in conjunction with the operating part 16; a rotor 28, which is mounted on the drive shaft 22 and rotates together with the drive shaft; and a spool 14, which can wind up the fishing line through the rotation of the operating part 16, and is constructed such that a pinion 22a is provided on the drive shaft 22, and an elastic component 8 is provided on the axial front side of the drive shaft 22 of the pinion 22a.

[0033] In this way, a spinning fishing reel can be provided that can prevent the pinion from floating up and reduce the generation of backlash by pressing the pinion gear in the downward direction of its axis in any state before the fishing line is wound up, during the fishing line winding action, and after the fishing line winding stops. As described above, when the pinion gear tooth surface and the drive gear tooth surface are in contact in the forward direction of the fishing line winding, the pinion gear is subjected to a force in the reverse direction. Therefore, even if there is looseness in the pinion gear axis direction, the pinion gear is pressed in the pressing direction. However, when the input in the fishing line winding direction is discontinuous or the fishing line winding stops, the force pressing the pinion gear does not work, so it floats up accordingly. If a spring washer is provided between the inner ring 242b of the second rolling bearing 242 and the pinion gear 22a, this state will be further caused. However, by providing the above-mentioned elastic component and setting a gap 29 between the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 and the reel body 12a, the pinion gear can be pressed integrally toward the lower direction of its axis, thereby preventing or reducing the floating of such pinion gear, and thereby preventing or reducing the generation of loose tooth clearance, thereby preventing or reducing the transmission of the looseness to the reeling side through the handle and causing the operator an unpleasant feeling.

[0034] Next, refer to Figure 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 illustrate a spinning fishing reel 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The spinning fishing reel 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the first rolling bearing 241 restricts the axial movement of the pinion gear 22a and the drive shaft 22 toward the front side, and a one-way clutch 40 is provided on the reel body 12a via a second retaining plate 54, and an outer ring 40c of the one-way clutch 40 is connected to an outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 via a first retaining plate 52, and a first rolling bearing 241 and a first retaining plate 52 are connected to each other. Figure 3 , 4 ), between the outer ring 40c of the one-way clutch 40 and the first retaining plate 52 ( Figure 6 ), between the one-way clutch 40 and the second retaining plate 54 ( Figure 5 In any of the examples shown in the figure), an elastic member 8 is provided. In addition, although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to consider a configuration in which a rolling bearing is provided between the one-way clutch 40 and the second retaining plate 54. In this case, an elastic member 8 can also be provided between the second retaining plate 54 and the outer ring of the rolling bearing.

[0035] According to a fishing spinning reel 6 involved in one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a fishing spinning reel that can prevent the pinion from floating up by pressing the pinion gear in the downward direction of its axis in any state before the fishing line is wound up, during the fishing line winding action, and after the fishing line winding stops, and can reduce the generation of tooth gap. As described above, when the pinion gear tooth surface and the drive gear tooth surface are in contact in the forward direction of the fishing line winding, the pinion gear is subjected to a force in the reverse direction. Therefore, even if there is looseness in the direction of the pinion gear axis, the pinion gear will be pressed in the pressing direction. However, when the input in the fishing line winding direction is discontinuous or the fishing line winding stops, the force pressing the pinion gear does not work, so it will float up accordingly. Assuming that a spring washer is provided between the inner ring of the second rolling bearing 242 and the pinion gear 22a, this state will be further caused. However, by providing the above-mentioned elastic component, the pinion can be pressed downward on its axis, so that the floating of such pinion can be prevented or reduced, thereby preventing or reducing the occurrence of loose tooth backlash, thereby preventing or reducing the transmission of looseness to the retracting side through the handle and causing the operator to feel uncomfortable.

[0036] In the fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 8 applies force to the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 toward the axial rear side of the drive shaft 22. In this way, since the elastic member 8 applies force to the pinion 24a toward the axial rear side (the side of the second rolling bearing 242 opposite to the side where the first rolling bearing 241 is located), the pinion can be pressed down in the axial downward direction, and the floating of the pinion can be prevented or reduced, thereby preventing or reducing the occurrence of backlash looseness.

[0037] Next, if Figure 7 As shown, in a fishing spinning reel 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 8 is any one of a wave washer, a spring washer, a disc spring washer or an O-ring.

[0038] A fishing rod 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to include any of the above-described spinning reels for fishing and a rod body 2. In this way, it is possible to provide a fishing rod including a spinning reel for fishing that can prevent the pinion gear from floating and reduce the occurrence of backlash by pressing the pinion gear downward in any state before the fishing line is wound, during the fishing line winding operation, or after the fishing line winding stops.

[0039] The size, raw material and configuration of each component described in this specification are not limited to the contents clearly described in the embodiment, and each component can be deformed within the scope of the present invention so as to have any size, raw material and configuration. In addition, components not clearly described in this specification can also be added to the described embodiment, and part of the components described in each embodiment can also be omitted.
