Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fishing floats, and particularly to a connection structure of a fishing float, a method for turning on and off power, and a fishing float assembly. Background Art

[0002] In fishing activities, as an indispensable tool, the fishing float not only indicates the situation of fish biting the hook, but also significantly affects the success rate of fishing. With the progress of technology, electronic fishing floats have gradually entered the market. By integrating a light-emitting body and circuit components, they provide more intuitive and clear signal feedback, especially greatly enhancing the fishing experience at night or in low-light environments.

[0003] However, the existing fishing floats have the following deficiencies:

[0004] 1. Structural weaknesses and sealing problems: Multiple components usually adopt a separate external connection method, which makes the connection part a structurally weak link, increasing the risk of loosening and falling off. In addition, in order to prevent moisture from seeping into the interior, additional seals are required to improve the sealing performance, but this also increases the assembly difficulty.

[0005] 2. Unreasonable center of gravity design: Since the battery is set at the float tail position, the center of gravity of the fishing float shifts to the float tail side. The relatively high center of gravity prolongs the time for the fishing float to turn over in the water, which is not conducive to quickly perceiving changes in the fish situation.

[0006] 3. Inconvenient battery management: In order to ensure that the connection between the battery and the light-emitting component is cut off when not in use, the traditional method is to directly remove the battery. This method is not only inconvenient for disassembly and assembly, but also causes trouble for battery storage. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a connection structure of a fishing float, a method for turning on and off power, and a fishing float assembly, which solve the technical problems of structural weaknesses, unreasonable center of gravity design, and inconvenient disassembly and assembly existing in the prior art.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a connection structure of a fishing float includes:

[0009] An upper float body, provided with a circuit board assembly for externally connecting a light-emitting body;

[0010] A lower float body, independently arranged from the upper float body;

[0011] A connecting member, including a locking sleeve and a connecting seat. The locking sleeve is hidden inside the upper float body and is threadedly sleeved outside the connecting seat. The connecting seat is integrally formed on the lower float body and forms a cavity for accommodating a battery;

[0012] Under the action of an external force, the locking sleeve can rotate forward and backward relative to the connecting seat to link the upper float body and the lower float body to be connected or disassembled and separated;

[0013] Wherein, one of the locking sleeve and the connecting seat is provided with a plurality of limiting parts at intervals, and the other is provided with a plurality of limiting and cooperating parts at intervals. The plurality of limiting parts and the plurality of limiting and cooperating parts are all located on the rotation path of the locking sleeve. When the limiting part and the limiting and cooperating part are in limiting cooperation, it is used to prevent the locking sleeve from rotating and provide tactile feedback;

[0014] When only some of the limiting parts are in limiting cooperation with some of the limiting and cooperating parts, the circuit board assembly and the battery are in a power-off state; when all the limiting parts and all the limiting and cooperating parts are in one-to-one correspondence and in limiting cooperation, the circuit board assembly and the battery are in a power-on state for lighting the light-emitting body.

[0015] Preferably, a double-thread structure is provided at the connection between the locking sleeve and the connecting seat.

[0016] Preferably, the double-thread structure includes a first double-thread and a second double-thread that cooperate with each other, and the limiting part and the limiting and cooperating part are respectively formed on the first double-thread and the second double-thread.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting part and the limiting and cooperating part are respectively a protrusion and a groove that are adapted to each other.

[0018] Preferably, both the protrusion and the groove are arc-shaped structures.

[0019] Preferably, a fixing seat is provided between the upper float body and the locking sleeve for fixing the circuit board assembly.

[0020] Preferably, the locking sleeve is a structure that penetrates up and down, and a spring is arranged at its upper opening. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the circuit board assembly and the battery.

[0021] Preferably, the connecting seat is provided with a waterproof ring, and the waterproof ring extends along the periphery of the connecting seat.

[0022] On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a power-on and power-off method for a fish float connection structure is further provided, which is applied to the fish float connection structure described above;

[0023] The power-on and power-off method includes the following steps:

[0024] Rotate and lock the locking sleeve and the connecting seat;

[0025] When all the limiting parts and all the limiting and cooperating parts are in complete limiting cooperation, enter the power supply mode to supply power to the light-emitting body through the battery via the circuit board assembly;

[0026] When the reverse-rotating locking sleeve is rotated to a position where at least one of the limiting portions is disengaged from at least one of the limiting and mating portions, the power-off state is entered to disconnect the connection between the battery and the circuit board assembly, and the locking sleeve stays at the connection seat, and the upper float body and the lower float body are not completely separated.

[0027] On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a fishing float assembly, which includes: a float tail, a float foot, and the above-mentioned fishing float connection structure. The float tail is integrally formed on the upper float body, and the float tail is internally provided with the light-emitting body. The connection seat is provided with an extension portion for connecting the float foot and protruding the float foot outside the lower float body.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By hiding the locking sleeve inside the upper float body and integrally forming the connection seat on the lower float body, and at the same time using the locking sleeve to be threadedly sleeved outside the connection seat, the entire fishing float can be firmly combined together through only one connection structure, reducing the risk of loosening and falling off; moreover, there is only one connection gap in the whole fishing float, replacing the exposed interface, improving the overall sealing performance, and effectively preventing water from seeping in. In addition, when the limiting portion and the limiting and mating portion are completely aligned, the circuit board assembly and the battery are in the power-on state, and when they are partially aligned, the power is off; not only realizes the automatic management of the battery, but also can provide tactile feedback to the user to facilitate the confirmation of the connection state. At the same time, the hidden danger of directly taking out the battery is eliminated, which is convenient and safe, and also protects the battery from environmental factors. Furthermore, since the battery is installed in the cavity formed by the connection seat, the center of gravity of the fishing float moves downward, which helps to optimize the center of gravity distribution of the fishing float and shorten the turning-over time.

Detailed implementation manners

[0042] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "arranged", "installed", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0043] Next, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-11 ,

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, the float connection structure includes: an upper float body 1, a lower float body 9 and a connecting member; the upper float body 1 is provided with a circuit board assembly 3 for externally connecting a light-emitting body; the lower float body 9 is independently arranged from the upper float body 1; the connecting member includes a locking sleeve 5 and a connecting seat 8, the locking sleeve 5 is hidden inside the upper float body 1 and is threadedly sleeved outside the connecting seat 8, the connecting seat 8 is integrally formed on the lower float body 9 and forms a cavity for accommodating the battery 6;

[0045] Under the action of an external force, the locking sleeve 5 can rotate forward and backward relative to the connecting seat 8 to link the upper float body 1 and the lower float body 9 to be connected or disassembled and separated;

[0046] Among them, one of the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8 is provided with a plurality of limiting parts 10 at intervals, and the other is provided with a plurality of limiting and cooperating parts 11 at intervals. The plurality of limiting parts 10 and the plurality of limiting and cooperating parts 11 are both located on the rotation path of the locking sleeve 5. When the limiting part 10 and the limiting and cooperating part 11 are in limiting cooperation, they are used to prevent the locking sleeve 5 from rotating and provide tactile feedback.

[0047] When only some of the limiting parts 10 and some of the limiting and cooperating parts 11 are in limiting cooperation, the circuit board assembly 3 and the battery 6 are in a power-off state; when all the limiting parts 10 and all the limiting and cooperating parts 11 are in one-to-one correspondence and in limiting cooperation, the circuit board assembly 3 and the battery 6 are in a power-on state for lighting the light-emitting body.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the upper float body 1 and the lower float body 9 are of a conical structure and are independently arranged, and are connected by a locking sleeve 5 and a connecting seat 8. Specifically, the upper float body 1 has an open bottom structure for accommodating the locking sleeve 5, so that the locking sleeve 5 can be hidden therein, replacing the external connection method, thereby reducing the connection gap of the overall structure and improving the sealing performance of the structure; the lower float body 9 is formed with an installation surface, and this installation surface is integrally formed with the connecting seat 8, that is: the connecting seat 8 and the lower float body 9 adopt an integrally formed structure, which can also reduce the connection gap, so that the entire structure can be quickly assembled only by one connection between the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8. In addition, the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8 are connected by a threaded connection, so that the locking sleeve 5 can be threadedly sleeved outside the connecting seat 8, and the connection relationship between the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8 can be adjusted and changed by rotating the locking sleeve 5 forward and backward under an external force; thus, the purpose of separable connection between the upper float body 1 and the lower float body 9 can be achieved, simplifying its installation and disassembly steps and making it easy to install and disassemble.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting seat 8 is provided with a cavity along its axial direction, and this cavity can be used to accommodate the battery 6, so that the battery 6 can be installed at the lower float body 9; in this way, the weight of the battery 6 is used to lower the center of gravity of this structure. After changing its center of gravity distribution, the turning-over time can be shortened and its sensitivity can be improved. Furthermore, a circuit board assembly 3 is arranged in the upper float body 1. As a bridge connecting the battery 6 and the light-emitting component, the light-emitting component can be lit or extinguished by connecting or disconnecting the connection between the battery 6 and the circuit board assembly 3, which is convenient for using the light-emitting component to provide obvious visual cues in a dark environment, so that the angler can clearly see the movement of the float in low-light situations such as at night, dawn or dusk; since the light-emitting body can help the angler capture the subtle changes of the float more quickly and accurately when the fish bites the hook, the success rate and efficiency of fishing are improved. When not in use, the power of the battery 6 can be saved and the frequent replacement of the battery 6 can be avoided.

[0050] Specifically, when the upper floating body 1 is rotated to drive the locking sleeve 5 to rotate synchronously, it can rotate relative to the connecting seat 8, causing the upper floating body 1, the locking sleeve 5, and the circuit board assembly 3 to gradually approach the lower floating body 9. At this time, since the circuit board assembly 3 and the battery 6 are not (fully) in contact, the power is off; continuous rotation until the upper floating body 1 is connected to the lower floating body 9 to form an integral body, the locking sleeve 5 rotates to the end close to the connecting seat 8, and the circuit board assembly 3 and the battery 6 are in full contact, then the power-on state is formed to light up the light-emitting body. In this process, the on-off of the battery 6 and the light-emitting component can be realized by means of rotary contact or separation, so as to be reasonably turned on or off according to the use environment.

[0051] Of course, since the upper floating body 1 covers the locking sleeve 5, in order to ensure that the structure is in the power-on state after the locking sleeve 5 rotates in place, and in order to facilitate the structure to be in the power-off state without disassembling the overall structure; in the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of limiting parts 10 and a plurality of limiting cooperation parts 11 are provided at the connection between the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8; that is: one of the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8 is provided with a plurality of limiting parts 10 at intervals, and the other is provided with a plurality of limiting cooperation parts 11 at intervals; at the same time, the limiting parts 10 and the limiting cooperation parts 11 are both located on the rotation path of the locking sleeve 5, and are used to make one of them rotate following the locking sleeve 5, so as to facilitate the corresponding limiting parts 10 and limiting cooperation parts 11 to form a limiting cooperation relationship or release the limiting cooperation relationship. As the locking sleeve 5 rotates and all the limiting parts 10 are respectively in limiting cooperation with all the corresponding limiting cooperation parts 11, it means that the locking sleeve 5 has rotated in place, and the light-emitting body is lit at this time; on the contrary, only when some of the limiting parts 10 are in limiting cooperation with some of the limiting cooperation parts 11, since there is still a certain length of rotation path for the locking sleeve 5, the battery 6 is not conducted with the circuit board assembly 3, and the entire circuit is in the power-off state.

[0052] On the other hand, whenever any one of the limiting parts 10 moves to be in limiting cooperation with any one of the limiting cooperation parts 11, a resistance can be provided and a tactile feedback can be provided to the user, so that the user can clearly know the rotation angle of the locking sleeve 5, facilitating the user to master the installation condition of the locking sleeve 5 and the on / off condition of the light-emitting element; furthermore, after applying a greater external force to break through the above resistance, the locking sleeve 5 can continue to rotate. In this embodiment, since two states need to be formed, namely: the powered-on state and the powered-off state; thus, two limiting parts 10 and two limiting cooperation parts 11 can be provided to determine whether the locking sleeve 5 is in place (along the forward rotation direction of the locking sleeve 5, define the limiting part 10 in the front among the two limiting parts 10 as the first limiting part 10, and the limiting part 10 in the rear as the second limiting part 10; similarly, the limiting cooperation part 11 in the front among the two limiting cooperation parts 11 is the first limiting cooperation part 11, and the limiting cooperation part 11 in the rear is the second limiting cooperation part 11). For example: when continuously rotating the locking sleeve 5 forward, first, the first limiting part 10 is in limiting cooperation with the second limiting cooperation part 11, at this time, a tactile feedback is provided, and the battery 6 is not conducted with the circuit board assembly 3, and the light-emitting element does not light up; continue to rotate the locking sleeve 5 forward until the first limiting part 10 is in limiting cooperation with the first limiting cooperation part 11 and the second limiting part 10 is in limiting cooperation with the second limiting cooperation part 11, at this time, another tactile feedback is provided, and the battery 6 is conducted with the circuit board assembly 3, and the light-emitting element is lit; thus, when receiving two consecutive tactile feedbacks in the same direction, it indicates that all components are installed in place and the light-emitting element can be lit. On the contrary, when rotating the locking sleeve 5 in reverse, the first limiting part 10 disengages from the first limiting cooperation part 11 and makes the first limiting part 10 in limiting cooperation with the second limiting cooperation part 11 during the continuous reverse rotation of the locking sleeve 5. At this time, a tactile feedback is provided and the battery 6 is disconnected from the circuit board assembly 3. Thus, only by retreating one limiting position can the connection between the battery 6 and the circuit board assembly 3 be disconnected. On the one hand, it is convenient for operation, and on the other hand, there is no need to cancel the whole parts and / or the battery 6. Only by adjusting the rotation angle of the locking sleeve 5 can the light-emitting element be quickly powered on and off, which is more convenient and faster.

[0053] In this embodiment, the integrated design of the upper floating body 1 and the locking sleeve 5, and the lower floating body 9 and the connecting seat 8 reduces unnecessary external connection traces to improve the sealing performance of the overall structure; at the same time, transferring the battery 6 to the connecting seat 8 arranged on the lower floating body 9 can optimize the center of gravity distribution and make the fish float turn over faster; furthermore, the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8 are connected by a threaded connection method. On the one hand, it is convenient for the separable connection of the upper floating body 1 and the lower floating body 9 to facilitate the replacement of the battery 6 inside; on the other hand, it can drive the battery 6 to cooperate with the circuit board assembly 3 to make the two contact or separate to complete the on / off of the light-emitting element; it is not only convenient to quickly identify whether the locking sleeve 5 rotates in place and whether the circuit connection is reliable, but also only a small adjustment of the rotation angle of the locking sleeve 5 is required during power-off, the operation is faster, and there is no need to completely disconnect between parts, and it is also easy to store.

[0054] As Figures 6-10 shown, in one embodiment, a double-thread structure is provided at the connection between the locking sleeve 5 and the connection base 8. Specifically, in order to reduce the rotation angle of the locking sleeve 5 and improve the assembly and disassembly efficiency of this structure; in this embodiment, a double-thread structure is provided at the connection between the locking sleeve 5 and the connection base 8, and the double-thread structure is used to connect the locking sleeve 5 and the connection base 8 to replace the traditional single-thread connection with a small pitch. The rotation angle of the locking sleeve 5 can be made smaller while the overall length of the locking sleeve 5 remains unchanged, so as to improve its assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the double-thread structure includes a first double-thread 12 and a second double-thread 13 that cooperate with each other, and the limiting portion 10 and the limiting and cooperating portion 11 are respectively formed on the first double-thread 12 and the second double-thread 13. Specifically, in this embodiment, the double-thread structure is defined as a first double-thread 12 and a second double-thread 13 that cooperate with each other (the two double-threads can be selectively arranged at the locking sleeve 5 and the connection base 8 respectively). Among them, the first double-thread 12 has a first thread groove and a second thread groove, and the second double-thread 13 has a first thread protrusion and a second thread protrusion, so that the first thread groove cooperates with the first thread protrusion, and the second thread groove cooperates with the second thread protrusion. After being arranged in the same direction, the feed or retraction can be doubled during the rotation of the locking sleeve 5. Of course, the first thread groove and the second thread groove are arranged at intervals and spirally at the connection base 8, and the first segments of the two thread grooves are symmetrically formed at the end of the connection base 8. Thus, the corresponding limiting portion 10 and the limiting and cooperating portion 11 are arranged at the corresponding thread grooves and thread protrusions. On the one hand, they can rotate with the locking sleeve 5, and on the other hand, the combined design can make the structure more compact. Of course, due to the double-thread structure design, the limiting portion 10 and the limiting and cooperating portion 11 can be arranged at any one of the thread structures; or, in this embodiment, the limiting portion 10 and the limiting and cooperating portion 11 are arranged at both thread structures, and synchronously performing can increase the tactile feedback and quickly master the installation situation of the locking sleeve 5 and the on-off situation of the light-emitting component.

[0056] Further, in an embodiment, the limiting portion 10 and the limiting and mating portion 11 are respectively a mating protrusion and groove. Specifically, in order to form a resistance and provide tactile feedback; in this embodiment, the limiting portion 10 is defined as a protrusion, and the limiting and mating portion 11 is defined as a groove. The protrusion is provided on the outer surface of the connecting seat 8, and the groove is provided on the inner surface of the locking sleeve 5; thus, when the upper float body 1 is rotated and the locking sleeve 5 is synchronously rotated, the groove thereon rotates along with it, so that the groove can rotatably fit at the corresponding protrusion; when the external force acting on the upper float body 1 is greater, it can break through the cooperation between the protrusion and the groove, so that the groove can cross over the protrusion; when the tactile feedback is received, the rotation can be stopped. Preferably, both the protrusion and the groove are arc-shaped structures, and the smooth transition can facilitate the limiting cooperation and the release of the limiting cooperation between the two.

[0057] As Figure 2 shown, in an embodiment, a fixing seat 2 is provided between the upper float body 1 and the locking sleeve 5 for fixing the circuit board assembly 3. Specifically, in order to install the circuit board assembly 3 at the upper float body 1, in this embodiment, a fixing seat 2 is provided between the upper float body 1 and the locking sleeve 5. The fixing seat 2 is also hidden inside the upper float body 1 and is provided with a receiving opening for installing and receiving the circuit board assembly 3, so that the circuit board assembly 3 can be installed inside the upper float body 1.

[0058] As Figure 2 shown, in an embodiment, the locking sleeve 5 is a vertically through structure, and a spring 4 is provided at its upper opening. The two ends of the spring 4 are respectively connected to the circuit board assembly 3 and the battery 6. Specifically, in order to provide a retraction assist for the locking sleeve 5 to facilitate a quick switch from the powered-on state to the powered-off state; in this embodiment, a spring 4 is provided at the locking sleeve 5. One end of the spring 4 is connected to the circuit board assembly 3, and the other end can abut against or be separated from the battery 6; when the locking sleeve 5 rotates forward, the spring 4 feeds in the direction of the battery 6 until it is compressed and abuts against it, and at the same time the battery 6 is connected to the circuit board assembly to be powered on; conversely, when the rotating sleeve rotates in reverse, the compressed spring 4 restores its deformation to provide an external force to provide a retraction assist for the locking sleeve 5, thereby further improving the efficiency.

[0059] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, in an embodiment, the connecting seat 8 is provided with a waterproof ring 7, and the waterproof ring 7 extends along the periphery of the connecting seat 8. Specifically, in order to further improve the waterproofness of this structure; in this embodiment, a waterproof ring 7 is provided at the connecting seat 8. The waterproof ring 7 is arranged around the periphery of the connecting seat 8 to fill the gap formed with the locking sleeve 5 to prevent water seepage. Of course, as Figure 9 、 Figure 10As shown in the figure, an annular groove may be provided on the periphery of the connecting seat 8 for accommodating the waterproof ring 7; in addition, a plurality of the waterproof rings 7 may be provided, and the plurality of waterproof rings 7 are spaced apart at the connecting seat 8. Some of the waterproof rings 7 can be used to fill the gap between the connecting seat 8 and the locking sleeve 5, and some of the other waterproof rings 7 can compensate for the gap between the upper float body 1 and the lower float body 9, further improving the waterproof performance of the structure.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a method for turning on and off the power of a fish float connection structure, which is applied to the fish float connection structure described above;

[0061] The method for turning on and off the power includes the following steps:

[0062] Rotate to connect the locking sleeve 5 and the connecting seat 8;

[0063] When all the limiting portions 10 and all the limiting and cooperating portions 11 are completely in limiting cooperation, enter the power supply mode to supply power to the light-emitting body through the battery 6 via the circuit board assembly 3;

[0064] When the locking sleeve 5 is rotated in the reverse direction until at least one of the limiting portions 10 and at least one of the limiting and cooperating portions 11 are released from the limiting cooperation, enter the power-off state to disconnect the connection between the battery 6 and the circuit board assembly 3, and make the locking sleeve 5 stay at the connecting seat 8, and the upper float body 1 and the lower float body 9 are not completely separated.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the user only needs to simply rotate the locking sleeve 5 (upper float body 1) to complete the operation of power supply or power off, without complex steps or additional tools, greatly improving the convenience of use. When all the limiting portions 10 and the limiting and cooperating portions 11 are completely aligned, the user can confirm that the power supply mode has been entered through the sense of touch; on the contrary, when a limiting portion 10 and a limiting and cooperating portion 11 are released from the cooperation by rotating in the reverse direction, the power-off state can be clearly sensed, the operation is faster, and accidental power-on is also prevented; of course, since a specific rotation action is required to enter the power supply mode, the power-on situation caused by accidental collision or other unintended operations is effectively prevented; when not in use, the connection between the battery 6 and the circuit board assembly 3 can be effectively cut off through the power-off mechanism, avoiding the power loss of the battery 6 in the standby state for a long time, and prolonging the service life of the battery 6; furthermore, even in the power-off state, the locking sleeve 5 still stays at the connecting seat 8, and the upper float body 1 and the lower float body 9 are not completely separated, ensuring the stability and integrity of the overall structure of the fish float, and reducing the risk of component loss. Since it is not necessary to frequently take out the battery 6 for power-off operation, the wear probability of the battery 6 and related components is reduced, and at the same time, the maintenance and battery 6 replacement process are simplified. The built-in connection of the battery 6 and the circuit board assembly 3 further enhances the sealing performance of the entire structure, which is particularly suitable for use in humid or multi-water environments.

[0066] As Figure 2 , Figure 11 shown, this embodiment also provides a float assembly, which includes a float tail 14, a float foot 15, and the above-mentioned float connection structure. The float tail 14 is integrally formed on the upper float body 1, and the float tail 14 is internally provided with the light-emitting body. The connection seat 8 is provided with an extension part for connecting the float foot 15 and making the float foot 15 protrude outside the lower float body 9.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the integrated design of the float tail 14 and the upper float body 1 reduces the connection points between components, enhances the stability and durability of the overall structure, and reduces the risk caused by loosening or falling off at the connection (a flexible flat cable is hidden inside the float tail 14); by placing the battery 6 in the cavity formed by the connection seat 8 and connecting the float foot 15 through the extension part, the center of gravity of the entire float moves downward, which helps to reduce the turning-over time of the float in water and improve the response speed and efficiency. The built-in light-emitting body and battery 6 design improve the sealing and waterproof performance of the float, which is especially suitable for use in humid or multi-water environments and effectively prevents water from seeping into the internal circuit. At the same time, the design of the built-in light-emitting body in the float tail 14 can provide clearer and more intuitive signal feedback, especially at night or in low-light environments, greatly improving the fishing experience.

[0068] For the specific structure of the above-mentioned connection structure, refer to the above embodiment. Since this float assembly adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
