Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fishing reels, and more specifically to a fishing reel and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] A fishing reel, also known as a line reel or line spool, is an essential piece of fishing tackle for casting rods. It is primarily attached to the front of the casting rod handle. During casting, the bait travels with inertia, pulling the fishing line out of the reel's outlet. This causes the spool to rotate and release line. The bait's speed decreases due to air resistance and line friction. When the speed at which the spool releases line exceeds the speed at which the line is pulled out of the reel, some line becomes trapped inside, forming a float and leading to tangling. Therefore, modern fishing reels typically include a braking and deceleration device for the spool to prevent tangling during casting.
[0003] With the development of related technologies, devices that rely on electromagnetic induction to brake the spool of a fishing reel have begun to appear on the market. The principle of this braking device is that the rotor magnet set on the spool shaft and the stator coil set on the side shell of the fishing reel generate electromagnetic induction when they rotate relative to each other to brake. Fishing reels with this type of electromagnetic braking are generally equipped with an operation key to control the braking force of the electromagnetic braking component.
[0004] As fishing reel technology continues to develop, existing fishing reels are no longer limited to simple line-reeling and casting functions, but are beginning to develop in the direction of multi-functionality. As functions increase, the original single operation button can no longer meet the needs of multi-functional control. Therefore, these multi-functional fishing reels are equipped with Bluetooth components, so as to realize the control and adjustment of the fishing reel through external communication devices.
[0005] Chinese patent application number ZL202311674086.1 discloses: "A multifunctional continuously variable electromagnetic fishing reel and its control method, comprising a fishing reel body and a spool; the spool is rotatably connected to the fishing reel body via a shaft, and the fishing reel body is also provided with a rocker arm that is driven and connected to the shaft; it also includes: a spool self-rotation assembly, which includes a stator coil, a power supply module, and a control module disposed in the fishing reel body, and a mover magnet connected to the shaft; the stator coil and the power supply module are electrically connected to the control module, and the power supply module supplies current to the stator coil through the control module; the control module can control the direction and magnitude of the current supplied to the stator coil by the power supply module, thereby changing the rotation direction and rotation speed of the spool relative to the fishing reel body; the present invention can realize arbitrary control of the spool's direction and speed, thus providing a control basis for the multifunctionality of electromagnetic fishing reels."
[0006] However, including the solutions described in the aforementioned patents, all existing multi-functional fishing reels on the market have a problem: the original electromagnetic brake fishing reels, due to their relatively simple functions, can be controlled through a single button. This leads to users developing a certain usage habit over time. However, existing multi-functional fishing reels require external communication devices for detailed control and adjustment of all functions, which many users find unfamiliar. Some users, especially those unfamiliar with operating external communication devices, may be unable to use these multi-functional fishing reels properly. Furthermore, fishing reels that can only be adjusted using external communication devices have another problem: since the external communication devices cannot be operated during casting, each adjustment of the fishing reel's functions must be completed before casting begins. It is impossible to adjust the functions based on feedback while casting, which also leads to inconvenience. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of existing multi-functional fishing reels that require external communication equipment for detailed control and adjustment of all functions, which violates the usage habits of some users and makes operation inconvenient, this invention provides a fishing reel and its control method.
[0008] The technical solution of this invention to solve its technical problem is: a fishing reel, comprising:
[0009] Thread reel body;
[0010] A spool, which is rotatably mounted within the reel body;
[0011] The electronic control board is located on one side of the reel body;
[0012] An electromagnetic component for generating driving force includes a magnetic module and an electrical module. The magnetic module is connected to the spool, and the electrical module is disposed in the spool body and electrically connected to an electronic control board. The electronic control board can control the driving current in the electrical module to interact with the magnetic module to form the driving force. The driving force acts on the spool to cause the spool to accelerate.
[0013] When the electromagnetic component applies a positive driving force to the spool, it can cause the spool to generate a positive acceleration to promote the rotation of the spool.
[0014] When the electromagnetic component applies a reverse driving force to the spool, it can cause the spool to generate a reverse acceleration to suppress the rotation of the spool.
[0015] The reel body is also provided with a mechanical control module, which includes at least a main operation key and a secondary operation key. The main operation key and the secondary operation key respond to the user's operation actions, and the mechanical control module forms a control connection with the electronic control board, so that the user can adjust the driving force generated by the electromagnetic component by operating the main operation key and / or the secondary operation key.
[0016] The process of rotating the spool to release the line is divided into several segments, including at least a front segment and a rear segment;
[0017] The mechanical control module can individually adjust the driving force generated by the electromagnetic components in each interval.
[0018] Furthermore, the process of rotating the spool to release the line also includes a middle section.
[0019] Furthermore, the first method of dividing the various segments is as follows: the process of the spool rotating and releasing line is divided into various segments according to the change of the spool speed. The segment from 0 rpm to the maximum speed A rpm is the first segment, the segment from the maximum speed A rpm to m%•A rpm is the middle segment, and the segment from the spool speed to n%•A rpm is the last segment, and n≤m≤100 is satisfied.
[0020] Furthermore, the interval from 0s to Xs is the first segment, the interval from Xs to Ys when the spool rotates to release the line is the second segment, and the interval from Ys to Zs when the spool rotates to release the line is the third segment, and 0≤X≤Y≤Z is satisfied.
[0021] Furthermore, the third way to divide the various intervals is as follows: the process of the spool rotating to release the line is divided into various intervals according to the release distance of the fishing line. The interval from 0m to αm of the released fishing line is the first segment, the interval from αm to βm of the released fishing line by the spool rotating to release the line is the middle segment, and the interval from βm to γm of the released fishing line is the last segment, and 0≤α≤β≤γ is satisfied.
[0022] Furthermore, the mechanical control module also includes a main control element and a secondary control element integrated on the electronic control board; the main operation key is connected to the main control element, and the secondary operation key is connected to the secondary control element, thereby controlling the electronic control board through the main operation key and the secondary operation key; the main control element can control the drive current in one or more of the power-down modules of the plurality of intervals, and the secondary control element controls the drive current in one of the power-down modules of the plurality of intervals respectively.
[0023] Furthermore, a transmission component is provided between the main operation key and the main control element, and between the secondary operation key and the secondary control element. The transmission component can be configured as a rigid connecting column, an elastic connecting torsion spring, or a magnetic block; the main control element can be configured as a potentiometer, a rotary encoder, or a magnetic sensor.
[0024] When the transmission component is configured as a rigid connecting column or an elastic connecting torsion spring, the main control element and the auxiliary control element are configured as potentiometers or rotary encoders.
[0025] When the transmission component is configured as a magnetic block, the main control element and the secondary control element are configured as magnetic sensors.
[0026] Furthermore, the reel body is also equipped with an electronic control module, which can communicate with external communication devices. Users can control the electronic control board by operating the external communication devices, and then adjust the driving force of the electromagnetic components through the electronic control board.
[0027] Furthermore, the main operation key and / or secondary operation key are configured as knobs, dials, or levers exposed on the surface of the reel body.
[0028] The present invention also includes a first control method applicable to the above-mentioned fishing reel, which further includes the following:
[0029] S10, Full-section driving force adjustment: By operating the main operation key on the spool body, the driving force of the electromagnetic components in each section during the spool rotation and wire feeding process can be adjusted as a whole.
[0030] S11. Fine adjustment of front driving force: Operate one of the secondary operation keys on the spool body to finely adjust the driving force of the electromagnetic component in the front section during the spool rotation and line feeding process, based on the driving force set in S10.
[0031] S12, Fine adjustment of the driving force in the later stage: By operating another auxiliary operation key on the spool body, the driving force of the electromagnetic component in the later stage during the spool rotation and line feeding process can be finely adjusted based on the driving force set in S10.
[0032] The present invention also includes a second control method applicable to the above-mentioned fishing reel, which further includes the following:
[0033] S20, Mid-section driving force adjustment: By operating the main operation key on the spool body, the driving force of the electromagnetic component in the middle section during the spool rotation and line feeding process can be adjusted individually;
[0034] S21. Front driving force adjustment: By operating one of the auxiliary operation keys on the spool body, the driving force of the front electromagnetic component during the spool rotation and line feeding process can be adjusted individually.
[0035] S22, Rear Drive Force Adjustment: By operating another auxiliary operation key on the spool body, the drive force of the electromagnetic component in the rear section during the spool rotation and line feeding process can be adjusted independently.
[0036] The present invention also includes a third control method applicable to the above-mentioned fishing reel, which further includes the following:
[0037] S30, Full-section driving force adjustment: By operating the main operation key on the spool body, the driving force of the electromagnetic components in each section during the spool rotation and wire feeding process can be adjusted as a whole.
[0038] S31. Fine adjustment of front driving force: Operate one of the auxiliary operation keys on the spool body to finely adjust the driving force of the electromagnetic component in the front section during the spool rotation and line feeding process, based on the driving force set in S10.
[0039] S32. Drive mode adjustment: The electronic control board has several built-in drive modes, and each drive mode corresponds to a preset spool rotation and line feeding process. By operating another auxiliary operation key on the spool body, the electronic control board can be controlled to activate the built-in drive mode and switch between the various drive modes. In the corresponding drive mode, the braking force generated by the electromagnetic component in each section during the spool rotation and line feeding process can be automatically changed according to the setting, so that the spool rotates according to the preset line feeding process of the drive mode under the action of the electromagnetic component.
[0040] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0041] 1. A mechanical control module is installed inside the reel body. By operating the mechanical control module on the reel body, the fishing reel can be directly controlled and adjusted. Therefore, the fishing reel can be finely controlled without external communication equipment. Furthermore, due to the presence of the mechanical control module, the user can also control and adjust the fishing reel in real time during casting.
[0042] 2. This fishing reel can individually adjust the driving force of the electromagnetic components in each section of the spool rotation and line release process through the electronic control module and the mechanical control module. This allows the fishing reel to independently control the front and back stages of the spool rotation and line release process, making the braking mode of the fishing reel more diversified. As a result, the fishing reel can simulate the braking process of various types of fishing reels on the market using only this fishing reel.
[0043] 3. The mechanical control module includes a main control key and a secondary control key. The main control key can be used to adjust the overall process of the spool rotating and letting out line, or to adjust a specific section of the process. The secondary control key can be used to adjust one or several sections of the process, thus making the control of this fishing reel more diversified. Attached Figure Description

The electronic control board 3 can control the driving current within the electrical module 5 to interact with the magnetic module 4 to generate the driving force. The driving force acts on the spool 2, causing the spool 2 to accelerate. The reel body 1 is also equipped with a mechanical control module 6, which includes at least a main operation key 7 and a secondary operation key 8. The main operation key 7 and the secondary operation key 8 respond to the user's operation actions, and the mechanical control module 6 is connected to the electronic control board 3, so that the user can adjust the driving force generated by the electromagnetic component by operating the main operation key 7 and / or the secondary operation key 8.

In one embodiment of the speed detection component, the speed detection component includes a Hall element and a timing element integrated on the electronic control board 3, and a magnet is provided on the spool 2. The Hall element senses the rotation of the spool 2, and the electronic control board 3 can calculate the speed of the spool 2 based on the rotation of the spool 2 and the rotation time.

[0074] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the reel body 1 is also provided with an electronic control module 11. The electronic control module 11 can communicate with external communication devices. The user can control the electronic control board 3 by operating the external communication devices, and then adjust the driving force of the electromagnetic components through the electronic control board 3.
[0075] In this embodiment, the electronic control module 11 includes a Bluetooth element integrated on the electronic control board 3.

[0077] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the secondary operation key 8 is configured as two.
[0078] And combined Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the main operation key 7 is located in the middle of the side cover 13, and the secondary operation key 8 is located near the edge of the side cover 13.
[0079] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the reel body 1 includes a detachably connected main body 12 and a side cover 13. The electrical control board 3, mechanical control module 6, and electronic control module 11 are all mounted on the side cover 13. The electrical module 5 of the electromagnetic component is also mounted on the side cover 13. The spool 2 also includes a spool 2 shaft. The spool 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 12 of the reel body 1 via the spool 2 shaft. The magnetic module 4 of the electromagnetic component is connected to the spool 2 shaft. Since the side cover 13 is detachable and replaceable, various side covers 13 with different built-in control methods can be designed and manufactured, allowing users to replace the side cover 13 according to their needs to switch the fishing reel control method.
[0080] Example 2
[0081] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 described above is as follows:
[0082] In this embodiment, the division of each interval is as follows: the process of the spool 2 rotating and releasing the line is divided into each interval according to the rotation time of the spool 2. The interval from 0s to Xs of the spool 2 rotating and releasing the line is the first segment a, the interval from Xs to Ys of the spool 2 rotating and releasing the line is the middle segment b, and the interval from Ys to Zs of the spool 2 rotating and releasing the line is the last segment c, and 0≤X≤Y≤Z is satisfied.
[0083] One specific example of the division of each interval in this embodiment is as follows: the process of the spool 2 rotating and releasing the line is divided into each interval according to the rotation time of the spool 2. The interval from 0s to 0.5s of the rotation and releasing of the line is the first segment a, the interval from 0.5s to 2s of the rotation and releasing of the line is the middle segment b, and the interval from 2s to 3s of the rotation and releasing of the line is the last segment c.
[0084] The remaining structures and methods in this embodiment are consistent with those in Embodiment 1 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0085] Example 3
[0086] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 described above is as follows:
[0087] In this embodiment, the division of each interval is as follows: the process of the spool 2 rotating to release the line is divided into each interval according to the release distance of the fishing line. The interval from 0m to αm of the released fishing line is the first segment a, the interval from αm to βm of the released fishing line by the rotation of the spool 2 is the middle segment b, and the interval from βm to γm of the released fishing line is the last segment c.

The segment from 0m to 5m of the released fishing line is the first segment a, the segment from 5m to 45m of the released fishing line by the rotation of the spool 2 is the middle segment b, and the segment from 45m to 60m of the released fishing line is the last segment c.
[0089] The remaining structures and methods in this embodiment are consistent with those in Embodiment 1 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0090] Example 4
[0091] Combination Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment illustrates the specific method of using the fishing reel described in any one of embodiments one to three above;
[0092] In this embodiment, the following methods are included:
[0093] S10. Full-section driving force adjustment: By operating the main operation key 7 on the spool body 1, the driving force of the electromagnetic components in each section during the rotation and wire feeding process of the spool 2 can be adjusted as a whole.
[0094] S11. Fine adjustment of the driving force of the front section a: Operate one of the secondary operation keys 8 on the spool body 1 to finely adjust the driving force of the electromagnetic component of the front section a during the rotation and feeding of the spool 2, based on the driving force set in S10.
[0095] S12, Fine adjustment of the driving force of the rear section c: Operate another auxiliary operation key 8 on the spool body 1 to achieve individual fine adjustment of the driving force of the electromagnetic component of the rear section c during the rotation and wire feeding process of the spool 2, based on the driving force set in S10.
[0096] Example 5
[0097] Combination Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment illustrates the specific method of using the fishing reel described in any one of embodiments one to three above;
[0098] In this embodiment, the following methods are included:
[0099] S20, Adjustment of driving force of middle section b: By operating the main operation key 7 on the spool body 1, the driving force of the electromagnetic component of middle section b can be adjusted individually during the rotation and feeding of the spool 2;
[0100] S21. Front section a driving force adjustment: By operating one of the auxiliary operation keys 8 on the spool body 1, the driving force of the electromagnetic component of the front section a can be adjusted individually during the rotation and feeding of the spool 2.
[0101] S22, Rear section c driving force adjustment: By operating another auxiliary operation key 8 on the spool body 1, the driving force of the electromagnetic component of the rear section c during the rotation and wire feeding process of the spool 2 can be adjusted independently.
[0102] Example 6
[0103] Combination Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment illustrates the specific method of using the fishing reel described in any one of embodiments one to three above;
[0104] In this embodiment, the following methods are included:
[0105] S30. Full-section driving force adjustment: By operating the main operation key 7 on the spool body 1, the driving force of the electromagnetic components in each section during the rotation and wire feeding process of the spool 2 can be adjusted as a whole.
[0106] S31. Fine adjustment of the driving force of the front section a: Operate one of the secondary operation keys 8 on the spool body 1 to finely adjust the driving force of the electromagnetic component of the front section a during the rotation and feeding of the spool 2, based on the driving force set in S10.
[0107] S32. Drive mode adjustment: The electronic control board 3 has several built-in drive modes, and each drive mode corresponds to a preset spool 2 rotation and line feeding process. By operating another auxiliary operation key 8 on the spool body 1, the electronic control board 3 can be controlled to activate the built-in drive mode and switch between the various drive modes. In the corresponding drive mode, the braking force generated by the electromagnetic component in each section during the rotation and line feeding process of the spool 2 can be automatically changed according to the setting, so that the spool 2 rotates according to the preset line feeding process of the drive mode under the action of the electromagnetic component.
[0108] Example 7
[0109] This embodiment is a further extension of the specific working method of the electromagnetic components in Embodiments 1 to 3 above;
[0110] In this embodiment, there are two ways to change the driving current in the electrical module 5 of the electromagnetic component. The first way is to power the electromagnetic component with a power supply. In this way, a power supply needs to be built into the reel body 1 or an external power supply needs to be connected to the reel body 1. The second way is to rely on the rotation of the spool 2 when the fishing reel is cast manually. The rotation of the spool 2 can drive the magnetic module 4 connected to the shaft of the spool 2 to rotate. The rotation of the magnetic module 4 relative to the electrical module 5 can generate an electromagnetic induction phenomenon, thereby generating an induced current at the electrical module 5. The electronic control board 3 can control this induced current to flow back to the electrical module 5 as the driving current. In this way, the electromagnetic component can operate normally even if no power supply is set or connected inside or outside the reel body 1.
[0111] In this embodiment, since the electromagnetic component relies on the interaction between the electric module 5 and the magnetic module 4 to form a driving force, in embodiments one to three, the driving force is used to give the spool 2 a reverse acceleration to suppress the rotation of the spool 2 and achieve the purpose of braking. Similarly, when the direction of the driving current in the electric module 5 changes, the change in the direction of its magnetic field can also cause the direction of the driving force formed between the electric module 5 and the magnetic module 4 to change, thereby giving the spool 2 a positive direction and speed to promote the rotation of the spool 2 and achieve the purpose of the spool 2's self-rotation. Therefore, the electromagnetic component of this fishing reel can not only realize the braking function but also be used for the self-rotation control of the spool 2.
[0112] Example 8
[0113] Combination Figure 10 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment described above is that:
[0114] In this embodiment, the main operation key 7 is not located in the middle of the side cover 13, but is located near the edge of the side cover 13.
[0115] The remaining structures and methods in this embodiment are consistent with those in Embodiment 1 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0116] Example 9
[0117] Combination Figure 11 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment described above is that:
[0118] In this embodiment, the secondary operation key 8 is configured as one or three.
[0119] In this embodiment, when the secondary operation key 8 is configured as one, the adjustment of the front section a, the middle section b, and the rear section c during the rotation and feeding process of the spool 2 is achieved by the secondary operation key 8. During operation, pressing the secondary operation key 8 can switch between the three adjustment states.
[0120] In this embodiment, when the three secondary operation keys 8 are configured, the three secondary operation keys 8 can be used to adjust the front section a, the middle section b, and the rear section c during the rotation and feeding of the spool 2, respectively.
[0121] The remaining structures and methods in this embodiment are consistent with those in Embodiment 1 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0131] Combination Figure 15 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Eleven above is that:
[0132] In this embodiment, the transmission component 14 is configured as an elastically connected torsion spring 17 and a trigger block 18; the transmission is explained by the elastic connection between the secondary operation key 8 and the secondary control element 10: the two ends of the elastically connected torsion spring 17 respectively form a snap-fit engagement with the grooves on the secondary operation key 8 and the trigger block 18, and the lower side of the trigger block 18 is also provided with a protrusion that can form a snap-fit engagement with the secondary control element 10, thereby relying on the elastically connected torsion spring 17 and the trigger block 18 to realize the transmission between the secondary operation key 8 and the secondary control element 10; the transmission principle of the elastically connected torsion spring 17 between the main operation key 7 and the main control element 9 is the same as described above.
[0133] The remaining structures and methods in this embodiment are consistent with those in Embodiment 11 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0134] Example 13
[0135] Combination Figures 16 to 21 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Eleven above is that:
[0136] In this embodiment, both the main control element 9 and the secondary control element 10 are configured as magnetic sensitive elements, and the transmission element 14 is configured as a magnetic block 19. By operating the main operation key 7 or the secondary operation key 8 to rotate, the position of the magnetic block 19 can change, thereby enabling the main control element 9 or the secondary control element 10 to sense the change in the magnetic field and control the electronic control board 3.
[0137] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, the first type of magnetic block 19 is configured as follows: A mounting post 20 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the main operation key 7 and the secondary operation key 8. The axis of the mounting post 20 on the lower side of the main operation key 7 coincides with the axis of the main control element 9, and the axis of the mounting post 20 on the lower side of the secondary operation key 8 coincides with the axis of the secondary control element 10. The magnetic block 19 is embedded in the bottom of the mounting post 20, and the magnetic block 19 also includes an N pole and a S pole. Rotation of the main operation key 7 can cause the magnetic block 19 on its lower side to rotate relative to the main control element 9, thereby making the magnetic block 19 rotate. The orientation of the N and S poles on the magnetic block 19 changes, thereby enabling the main control element 9 to sense the change in the magnetic field direction of the magnetic block 19 and control the electronic control board 3 accordingly. Similarly, rotating the secondary operation key 8 causes the magnetic block 19 below it to rotate relative to the secondary control element 10, thereby changing the orientation of the N and S poles on the magnetic block 19. This allows the secondary control element 10 to sense the change in the magnetic field direction of the magnetic block 19 and control the electronic control board 3 accordingly.
[0138] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the second type of magnetic block 19 is configured as follows: an eccentric column 21 is fixedly disposed on the lower side of the main operation key 7 and the secondary operation key 8. The axis of the eccentric column 21 on the lower side of the main operation key 7 is offset from the axis of the main control element 9, and the axis of the eccentric column 21 on the lower side of the secondary operation key 8 is offset from the axis of the secondary control element 10. A protrusion is also provided at the lower end of the eccentric column 21, and the magnetic block 19 is embedded in the bottom of the protrusion. The rotation of the main operation key 7 can cause the magnetic block 19 on its lower side to swing and move away from or closer to the main control element 9, so that the main control element 9 can sense the movement of the magnetic block 19 and control the electronic control board 3 accordingly. The rotation of the secondary operation key 8 can cause the magnetic block 19 on its lower side to swing and move away from or closer to the secondary control element 10, so that the secondary control element 10 can sense the movement of the magnetic block 19 and control the electronic control board 3 accordingly.
[0139] Reference Figure 20 and Figure 21As shown, the third type of magnetic block 19 is configured as follows: a worm gear 22 is provided below the main operation key 7 and the auxiliary operation key 8. A worm wheel is also fixedly connected to the lower side of the main operation key 7 and the auxiliary operation key 8. The main operation key 7 and the auxiliary operation key 8 are connected to the worm gear 22 via the worm wheel. The magnetic block 19 is embedded in the bottom of the worm gear 22. The axis of the worm gear 22 below the main operation key 7 coincides with the axis of the main control element 9, and the axis of the worm gear 22 below the auxiliary operation key 8 coincides with the axis of the auxiliary control element 10. Rotation of the main operation key 7 can drive the worm gear 22 below it. The worm gear 22 moves axially, causing the magnetic block 19 at the bottom of the worm gear 22 to move away from or closer to the main control element 9. This allows the main control element 9 to sense the movement of the magnetic block 19 and control the electronic control board 3 accordingly. The rotation of the secondary operation key 8 causes the worm gear 22 below it to move axially, causing the magnetic block 19 at the bottom of the worm gear 22 to move away from or closer to the secondary control element 10. This allows the secondary control element 10 to sense the movement of the magnetic block 19 and control the electronic control board 3 accordingly.
