Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a fishing reel with a braking part that suppresses recoil. Background Technology

[0002] When the fishing line is released during casting, the spool containing the line will rotate along with it. Therefore, in fishing reels, if the spool rotates faster than the line is released during casting, a backlash can sometimes occur. This backlash causes the line to slack, a condition known as "line slack," which is also a cause of line tangling.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a reel braking device for fishing line reels, which has an electrical conductor, a movable part that moves toward or away from the electrical conductor, and a magnet disposed on the movable part on the inner circumference of the reel. The eddy current generated by the rotation of the reel causes the magnet disposed on the movable part to move toward or away from the electrical conductor, and an appropriate braking force is applied to the reel by adjusting the magnetic induction force.

[0004] Existing technical documents Patent documents Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2016-36308. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The problem that the invention aims to solve However, in the braking mechanism of the fishing reel in Patent Document 1, even if the magnet provided in the movable part is brought as close as possible to the electrical conductor, it is impossible to apply sufficient braking force to the reel by magnetic induction alone. For example, when casting a heavy lure or fishing rig, recoil may occur.

[0006] Therefore, the objective of this invention is to provide a fishing reel capable of suppressing recoil.

[0007] means for solving problems The fishing reel of the present invention comprises: a drum rotatably disposed in the reel body and capable of winding fishing line; and a braking device that brakes the rotation of the drum, the braking device having: a magnetic force-induced braking function and a contact-based friction braking function.

[0008] According to the present invention, when sufficient braking force cannot be obtained through the induced force braking function, the required sufficient braking force can be obtained through braking with the additional friction braking function.

[0009] In the fishing reel of the present invention, the braking device includes: a conductive part disposed on the reel; a magnet disposed opposite to the conductive part; a movable part capable of movably holding the magnet between a first position and a second position, and capable of moving between the first position and the second position according to the rotation of the reel, wherein the first position is located in a direction away from the conductive part, i.e., a first direction, and the second position is located in a direction opposite to the first direction relative to the conductive part than the first position, i.e., a second direction; and a contact part disposed on the movable part, and contacting the reel when the movable part is in the second position.

[0010] According to the present invention, the magnetic force-induced braking function can be composed of a conductive part, a magnet, and a movable part that can movably hold the magnet between a first position and a second position as the drum rotates. Furthermore, the contact-based friction braking function can be composed of a contact part that contacts the drum when the movable part is in the second position. Therefore, it is possible to add friction braking to the braking force of the magnetic force-induced braking function.

[0011] In the fishing reel of the present invention, another braking device includes: a magnetic part provided on the reel body and having magnetic force; a movable part provided on the reel shaft and moving in the axial direction of the reel shaft according to the rotational speed of the reel; a conductive part provided on the movable part and moving together with the movable part, and capable of approaching or moving away from the magnetic part; and a contact part provided on the movable part and moving together with the movable part, and capable of contacting the contacted part provided on the reel body.

[0012] According to the present invention, the magnetic force-induced braking function can be composed of a magnetic part, a moving part that moves along the axial direction of the spool shaft, and a conductive part that moves with the moving part and can approach or move away from the magnetic part. Furthermore, the contact-based friction braking function can be composed of a contact part that moves with the moving part and can contact a contacted part provided on the winding body. Therefore, it is possible to add friction braking to the braking force of the magnetic force-induced braking function.

[0013] A fishing reel includes: a spool rotatably disposed on the reel body and capable of winding fishing line; a conductive part disposed on the spool; a magnet disposed opposite to the conductive part; a movable part capable of movably holding the magnet between a first position and a second position, and capable of moving between the first position and the second position according to the rotation of the spool, wherein the first position is located in a direction away from the conductive part, i.e., a first direction, and the second position is located in a direction opposite to the first direction relative to the conductive part, i.e., a second direction; and a contact part disposed on the movable part, and contacting the spool when the movable part is in the second position.

[0014] According to the present invention, in addition to applying a braking force (hereinafter sometimes referred to as induced braking force) to the drum by means of the induced force generated by the magnet provided opposite to the conductive part provided on the drum, it is also possible to apply a braking force based on friction generated when the movable part is in a second position due to the eddy current generated by the rotation of the drum and the contact part contacts the drum (hereinafter sometimes referred to as friction braking force).

[0015] Furthermore, the movable part has: a shaft extending along the axial direction of the conductive part; a main body supported at one end of the shaft and supporting a plurality of magnets; and a force-applying part that applies force to the other end of the main body in a first direction, and the contact part can be positioned closer to the other end than at least one magnet.

[0016] According to this structure, since the contact portion is positioned closer to the other end of the main body, the amount of movement of the contact portion can be increased. Therefore, due to the larger amount of movement of the contact portion, the contact state and non-contact state between the contact portion and the drum can be controlled.

[0017] In addition, the contact portion can be located at the other end of the main body.

[0018] According to this structure, the amount of movement of the contact part can be further increased, thereby enabling control over the contact state and non-contact state between the contact part and the drum.

[0019] Furthermore, the contact portion may have: an abutment portion that can abut against the drum; and a protrusion portion that is located further in a first direction than the abutment portion and protrudes further than the abutment portion. The main body portion has: a first locking portion that can lock and position the protrusion portion; and a second locking portion that is located further in a second direction than the first locking portion and can lock and position the protrusion portion.

[0020] According to this structure, when the contact part is positioned at the first locking part, braking using friction can be prevented, and when the contact part is positioned at the second locking part, braking using friction can be performed. In other words, the braking force can be switched between braking with friction and braking without friction, i.e., braking with only friction, by adjusting the locking position, thus allowing for easy adjustment of the braking force.

[0021] Furthermore, the end portion of the contact portion in the second direction and the central portion in the circumferential direction of the roll may protrude in the second direction.

[0022] According to this structure, since the end of the abutment portion in the second direction and the central portion in the circumferential direction of the drum are formed to protrude in the second direction, the abutment portion contacts the drum surface. Therefore, since the abutment portion contacts the drum surface, the generation of abnormal noise can be suppressed.

[0023] Furthermore, the contact portion of the contact portion located at the second locking portion protrudes from the surface of the main body in the second direction in the second direction. The amount of protrusion of the contact portion in the second direction can be set such that, in the initial stage when the reel begins to rotate when the fishing line is pulled out, the contact portion is in a non-contact state with the reel, and as the number of rotations of the reel increases, the contact portion comes into contact with the reel.

[0024] According to this structure, in addition to the induced braking force generated by the magnet provided opposite to the conductive part provided on the drum, when the movable part is in the second position due to the rotation of the drum, the contact part contacts the drum, thereby enabling braking with additional friction braking force.

[0025] The fishing reel of the present invention comprises: a reel shaft rotatably supported on a reel body; a reel disposed on the reel shaft and capable of winding fishing line; a magnetic part disposed on the reel body and having magnetic force; a movable part disposed on the reel shaft and movable in the axial direction of the reel shaft according to the rotational speed of the reel; a conductive part disposed on the movable part and moving together with the movable part, and capable of approaching or moving away from the magnetic part; and a contact part disposed on the movable part and moving together with the movable part, and capable of contacting a contacted part disposed on the reel body.

[0026] According to the present invention, since it has a moving part that moves along the axial direction of the drum shaft according to the drum's rotational speed, a conductive part that moves with the moving part and can approach or move away from the magnetic part, and a contact part that moves with the moving part and can contact the contacted part provided on the winding body, in addition to non-contact braking, i.e., induced force braking, which does not contact the drum, it is also possible to perform contact braking, i.e., friction braking, which involves contact with the drum. Therefore, since both induced force and friction braking can be performed on the drum, recoil can be suppressed.

[0027] In addition, the main body of the reel includes a holding part that holds the magnetic part, and the holding part may have a contacted part that contacts the contact part.

[0028] According to this structure, the retaining part, a portion of the winding body that is contacted and the retaining magnetic part can be shared, thereby achieving lightweighting and miniaturization.

[0029] In addition, at least one of the contact portion or the contacted portion may have a sliding element.

[0030] According to this structure, since at least one of the contact portion or the contacted portion has a sliding member, the generation of abnormal noise can be suppressed when the contact portion comes into contact with the contacted portion.

[0031] Furthermore, the holding portion may have: a first holding portion that holds a first magnet portion located radially outward from the winding drum than the conductive portion; and a second holding portion that holds a second magnet portion located radially inward from the winding drum than the conductive portion and disposed opposite to the first magnet portion; and the contact portion having: a first contact portion capable of contacting the first holding portion; and a second contact portion capable of contacting the second holding portion.

[0032] According to this structure, since the contact portion has a first contact portion that can contact the first holding portion that is the contacted portion, and a second contact portion that can contact the second holding portion that is the contacted portion, the frictional force can be increased compared to a single contact portion structure. Therefore, since the frictional force can be increased, the generation of recoil can be further suppressed.

[0033] Invention Effects According to the present invention, in addition to non-contact braking generated by the inductive force of the magnet, braking by friction caused by the contact portion contacting the drum can also be added, thereby providing a fishing reel that can suppress recoil.

[0054] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the fishing reel of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the drawings, the same or equivalent parts are given the same reference numerals and will not be described again.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The prior art of a fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a fishing reel according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a fishing reel according to a first embodiment of the present invention. For example, this fishing reel is a dual-bearing reel primarily used for lure fishing. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fishing reel has a handle 1, a star-shaped force valve 2, and a reel body 3.

[0056] The handle 1 is used for winding the fishing line. The handle 1 is located on the side of the reel body 3. The handle 1 has: an arm 1a, which is plate-shaped and has a rotating shaft at the center in the longitudinal direction; and a pair of handles 1b, which are rotatably mounted at both ends of the arm 1a. When the handle 1 is turned, the spool 10, described later, rotates and winds the fishing line.

[0057] The star-shaped force valve 2 adjusts the line to prevent it from breaking due to excessive tension when a fish is hooked. The star-shaped force valve 2 is coaxially configured with the handle 1 and located between the handle 1 and the reel body 3.

[0058] The reel body 3 is mounted on the fishing rod. The reel body 3 has a spool 10, a frame 11, a cover 12, and a clutch operating lever 14. The reel body 3 also has a gear mechanism 19, a clutch mechanism 17, a traction mechanism 18, a uniform winding mechanism 13, and a braking device 30, etc.

[0059] The spool 10 is configured to wind fishing line. The spool 10 is mounted on the reel body 3 in a manner that allows it to rotate about an axis. For example, the spool 10 is made of aluminum alloy, which is a non-magnetic electrical conductor. The spool 10 is not limited to aluminum alloy. The spool 10 only needs to be at least a non-magnetic electrical conductor, and various materials can be selected. The spool 10 has a body 101, a flange 102, a boss 103, and a spool shaft 104. For example, the spool 10 is integrally formed.

[0060] Fishing line is wound around the outer periphery of the body 101. The body 101 is formed into a cylindrical shape with the same diameter. A cylindrical boss 103 extending along the axial direction is integrally provided on the inner periphery of the body 101. A pair of flanges 102 are provided. The pair of flanges 102 extend axially and radially outward from the ends on both sides of the body 101, respectively. A spool 104 is fixed to the boss 103 and rotates synchronously with the body 101. The spool 104 passes through the boss 103. For example, the spool 104 is fixed to the boss 103 by a serrated engagement to avoid relative rotation with respect to the body 101.

[0061] The frame 11 supports various components such as the handle 1 and the reel 10. The frame 11 has a first frame 111 and a second frame 112. The first frame 111 and the second frame 112 are plate-shaped components arranged opposite each other across the reel 10. The first frame 111 and the second frame 112 are respectively orthogonal to the extending direction of the reel shaft 104. Hereinafter, with the fishing reel installed on the fishing rod, the direction in which the rod tip points is referred to as forward X1, the opposite direction as backward X2, and the forward-backward direction as X. The direction from the reel 10 towards the handle 1 is referred to as right Y2, the opposite direction as left Y1, and the left-right direction as Y. Furthermore, in the up-down direction Z, which is orthogonal to the forward-backward direction X and the left-right direction Y, the top is referred to as Z1, and the bottom as Z2.

[0062] The cover 12 forms the outer wall of the reel body 3. The cover 12 has a first cover 121, a second cover 122, and a thumb support portion 123.

[0063] The first cover 121 forms the left side wall of the cable reel body 3. The first cover 121 is supported by the first frame 111 and is located to the left (Y1) of the first frame 111. The first cover 121 has a boss portion 121a. The boss portion 121a extends to the right (Y2) from the right surface of the first cover 121.

[0064] The second cover 122 forms the right side wall of the cable reel body 3. The second cover 122 is supported by the second frame 112 and is located to the right Y2 of the second frame 112.

[0065] The thumb support portion 123 forms the upper wall of the reel body 3. The thumb support portion 123 is disposed in the region X1 in front of the drum 10, in the region Y1 further to the left of the left end of the drum 10, and in the region Y2 further to the right of the right end of the drum 10. Specifically, except for the region X2 behind the drum 10, the thumb support portion 123 is disposed around the drum 10.

[0066] The uniform winding mechanism 13 is a mechanism for uniformly winding fishing line onto the spool 10. The uniform winding mechanism 13 is located at the front X1 of the spool 10 and moves in the left-right direction. The uniform winding mechanism 13 is positioned at the front X1 of the spool 10 between the first frame 111 and the second frame 112.

[0067] The clutch operating lever 14 is used to operate the clutch mechanism 17 between the operating handle 1 and the drum 10. The clutch operating lever 14 is configured to be located at the rear X2 of the drum 10 and can swing in the vertical Z direction. In addition, the clutch operating lever 14 has a thumb rest portion at the middle part in the horizontal Y direction for thumb pressing.

[0068] like Figure 2As shown, the gear mechanism 19, the clutch mechanism 17, and the traction mechanism 18 are located between the second frame 112 and the second cover 122.

[0069] The gear mechanism 19 transmits the rotational force from the handle 1 to the spool 10 and the uniform winding mechanism 13. The gear mechanism 19 is disposed in the front-rear direction X between the spool shaft 104 and the uniform winding mechanism 13.

[0070] The clutch mechanism 17 switches the connection between the handle 1 and the drum 10. Rotation of the handle 1 is transmitted to the drum shaft 104 via the transmission gear 171, pinion 172, and the clutch mechanism 17. The clutch mechanism 17 engages or disengages depending on the operation of the clutch operating lever 14. Operating the clutch operating lever 14 disengages the clutch mechanism 17. Rotating the handle 1 in the winding direction while the clutch mechanism 17 is disengaged resets the clutch mechanism 17 to the engaged state.

[0071] When a fish takes the bait, the drag mechanism 18 applies a braking force to the brake drum 10 in the direction the fishing line is released as the fishing line is pulled out. The drag mechanism 18 includes brake pads, etc. By operating the star-shaped fishing force valve 2 to press the brake pads, the drag mechanism 18 adjusts the friction of the brake pads, etc., thereby adjusting the braking force on the drum 10.

[0072] Next, refer to Figure 3 The braking device 30 will be described below. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the braking device 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a plane orthogonal to the vertical direction Z and passing through the axis of the drum 10, excluding the movable unit 40. When casting with the clutch mechanism 17 disengaged, the drum 10 rotates freely, the fishing line is released, and therefore backlash may occur. The braking device 30 brakes the rotation of the drum 10 to suppress backlash. The braking device 30 brakes the rotation of the drum 10 using an induced force braking function and a friction braking function. The induced force braking function applies an induced force to the drum 10, and the friction braking function applies a frictional force to the drum 10. At least a portion of the braking device 30 is disposed between the first frame 111 and the first cover 121. Figure 3 As shown, the braking device 30 has a housing 31, a conductive part 32, a magnet 33, a movable unit 40, and a contact part 50.

[0073] The housing 31 connects the braking device 30 to the first cover 121. The housing 31 closes the opening 111a formed in the first frame 111. The housing 31 has an annular portion 311, an outer cylindrical portion 312, and an inner cylindrical portion 313. For example, the housing 31 can be integrally formed by drawing metal material. It should be noted that the housing 31 only needs to ensure basic rigidity, and it can also be integrally formed by synthetic resin.

[0074] The annular portion 311 is an annular plate orthogonal to the left-right direction Y. The annular portion 311 is disposed opposite to the left Y1 side portion of the movable unit 40. The annular portion 311 is connected to the connecting portion formed on the first cover 121 via multiple connecting members.

[0075] The outer cylinder portion 312 extends Y2 to the right from the outer periphery of the annular portion 311. The axis of the outer cylinder portion 312 is aligned with the axis of the drum 10. The right end of the outer cylinder portion 312 is positioned opposite the left end of the left flange portion 102. The right end of the outer cylinder portion 312 closes the opening 111a of the first frame 111.

[0076] The inner cylinder portion 313 extends to the left (Y1) and right (Y2) from the outer periphery of the annular portion 311. The axis of the inner cylinder portion 313 is aligned with the axis of the drum 10. The left end of the inner cylinder portion 313 is fitted onto a protrusion 121a extending to the right (Y2) from the first cover 121. The right end of the inner cylinder portion 313 extends further to the right (Y2) than the right end of the outer cylinder portion 312. The left portion of the drum shaft 104, which extends in the left-right direction (Y), is inserted through the inner cylinder portion 313. Thus, the right end of the inner cylinder portion 313 rotatably supports the left end of the drum shaft 104 via a bearing member. It should be noted that the middle portion of the drum shaft 104 is supported on the second frame 112 via a bearing member, and the right end of the drum shaft 104 is supported on the second cover 122 via a bearing member.

[0077] The conductive part 32 generates eddy currents through the magnetic flux of the magnet 33. Since the drum 10 is made of a non-magnetic electrical conductor, namely aluminum alloy, in this embodiment, the inner circumference of the drum 10 (body 101) corresponds to the conductive part 32. It should be noted that the conductive part 32 is not necessarily the same as the drum 10. If the drum 10 is not an electrical conductor such as rigid resin, a conductive part 32 as an electrical conductor can be separately provided on the inner circumference of the drum 10. Furthermore, the conductive part 32 only needs to be able to generate eddy currents and is not limited to a cylindrical shape.

[0078] For example, magnet 33 may be a plurality of permanent magnets. The plurality of magnets 33 are positioned circumferentially opposite the inner circumferential portion (conductive portion 32) of the drum 10 and along the axis of rotation of the drum 10. For example, each magnet 33 is formed in the shape of a disk, with an N pole on one side and an S pole on the other side. The plurality of magnets 33 are arranged in a manner where the N poles and S poles alternate circumferentially. It should be noted that the arrangement of the N poles and S poles of the magnets 33 only needs to alternate, and it is not necessary to start from either side.

[0079] Next, refer to Figures 3 to 8 The movable unit 40 will be described below. Figure 4 This is a perspective view of the movable unit 40 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a front view of the movable unit 40 when the movable part 42 of the first embodiment of the present invention moves to the second position P2. Figure 6 This is a front view of the movable unit 40 when the movable part 42 of the first embodiment of the present invention moves to the first position P1. Figure 7 This is a perspective view of the contact portion 50, which is locked to the second locking portion 428, according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 This is a perspective view of the contact portion 50, which is engaged with the first locking portion 427, according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The movable unit 40 is a mechanism that oscillates to support the plurality of magnets 33 and the contact portion 50. Hereinafter, when viewed from the movable portion 42, the direction away from the conductive portion 32 (radially inward) will be described as the first direction D1, and the direction opposite to the first direction D1 will be described as the second direction D2. Furthermore, the position relative to the conductive portion 32 in the first direction D1 will be described as the first position P1, and the position relative to the conductive portion 32 in the second direction D2, which is closer to the first position P1, will be described as the second position P2. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the movable unit 40 has a cylindrical portion 41 and a movable portion 42.

[0080] The cylindrical portion 41 supports the movable portion 42. The cylindrical portion 41 is formed as a cylinder coaxial with the drum 10, and the left side portion is surrounded by the housing 31. The cylindrical portion 41 has a cylindrical body 411, a foot 412, a shaft support portion 413, and a locking portion 414.

[0081] The main body 411 has an axis that is common to the axis of the drum 10. The main body 411 has a cylindrical space radially inside the drum 10. The left side portion of the drum shaft 104 is inserted into the space of the main body 411. The main body 411 is positioned opposite to the left end portion of the body 101. A shaft support portion 413 and a locking portion 414 are disposed on the outer periphery of the main body 411. Hereinafter, the radially inside or radially outside of the drum 10 will sometimes be simply referred to as the radially inside or radially outside.

[0082] The feet 412 secure the cylindrical body 41 to the housing 31. For example, a pair of feet 412 are provided, one at the front and one at the back. The pair of feet 412 are located on the outer periphery of the left end of the cylindrical body 411 in the diametrical direction. The pair of feet 412 extend from the left end of the cylindrical body 411 along the axial direction. The left end of the pair of feet 412 is provided with a protrusion that protrudes radially outward, and these protrusions are fixed to the housing 31.

[0083] The shaft support portion 413 supports the movable portion 42 in a swingable manner. For example, a pair of shaft support portions 413 are provided, one above the other. The pair of shaft support portions 413 protrude radially outward from the cylindrical body 411 at the middle part in the left-right direction Y.

[0084] The locking portion 414 restricts the swinging of the movable portion 42. Specifically, the locking portion 414, through its relationship with the engaging portion 423 described later, restricts the radial outward movement of the movable portion 42 from exceeding a predetermined amount. For example, a pair of locking portions 414 are provided, one above the other. The pair of locking portions 414 protrude radially outward from the right end portion of the cylindrical body 411. Each pair of locking portions 414 has a space S.

[0085] The shaft support portion 413 and the locking portion 414 are provided corresponding to one end and the other end of the movable portion 42, respectively. Therefore, a pair of movable portions 42 are arranged along the outer periphery of the drum body 411. Specifically, the pair of movable portions 42 are arranged in a point-symmetric manner with respect to the rotation center of the drum 10. In the circumferential direction, the foot portion 412 is provided corresponding to the intermediate position between the shaft support portion 413 and the locking portion 414. The space S of the locking portion 414 opens toward the corresponding shaft support portion 413 in the circumferential direction. Hereinafter, in the circumferential direction of the drum body 411, the direction from one end of the movable portion 42 in the circumferential direction toward the other end of the movable portion 42 in the circumferential direction will be described as the other end direction W2, and the opposite direction will be described as the one end direction W1.

[0086] The movable part 42 swings radially in the cylindrical part 41. Specifically, the movable part 42 swings with reference to the axis of the shaft 422 supported on the cylindrical part 41. The movable part 42 extends along the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 411, and a pair (two) are provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 411. One end of the movable part 42 in the circumferential direction W1 is supported by the shaft support 413, and the other end in the circumferential direction W2 is engaged with the locking part 414. The movable part 42 has a main body 421, a shaft 422, a locking part 423, a force-applying part 424, and a storage part 425 (see reference). Figure 7 ).

[0087] The main body 421 pivots around the shaft 422. For example, the main body 421 is made of synthetic resin and has a specified elastic modulus. The main body 421 is formed in an arc shape along the outer periphery of the cylindrical main body 411. The main body 421 supports a plurality of magnets 33 and a single contact portion 50 on its radially outer side. For example, the plurality of magnets 33 may be three magnets 33. It should be noted that there may be one magnet 33 or more than four magnets 33. Furthermore, there may be two or more contact portions 50.

[0088] The shaft portion 422 provides pivotal support for the main body portion 421. The shaft portion 422 is located at one end of the movable portion 42 in the direction W1. The shaft portion 422 extends along the axial direction of the conductive portion 32. Specifically, the shaft portion 422 is fixed to the shaft support portion 413 and extends from the shaft support portion 413 in the direction opposite to the housing 31. The main body portion 421 pivots about the shaft portion 422 as its pivot center in either the first direction D1 or the second direction D2. When the main body portion 421 is located radially inward of the conductive portion 32, the first direction D1 is radially inward, and the second direction D2 is radially outward. It should be noted that when the main body portion 421 is located radially outward of the conductive portion 32, the first direction D1 is radially outward, and the second direction D2 is radially inward.

[0089] The engaging portion 423 engages with the locking portion 414. The engaging portion 423 extends from the end of the main body portion 421 in the direction W2 toward the other end and enters the space S of the locking portion 414. When the main body portion 421 is rotated to its maximum extent in the first direction D1 about the shaft portion 422, the other end portion of the engaging portion 423 in the direction W2 contacts the cylindrical body portion 411. When the main body portion 421 is rotated to its maximum extent in the second direction D2 about the shaft portion 422, one end portion of the engaging portion 423 in the direction W1 contacts the locking portion 414.

[0090] The force-applying part 424 applies force to the engaging part 423 in the first direction D1. The force-applying part 424 is disposed inside the space S and fixed to the wall surface of the locking part 414 on the second direction D2 side. Thus, when the drum 10 is not rotating, the force-applying part 424 extends, and the movable part 42 is located at the first position P1 on the first direction D1 side. Furthermore, when the drum 10 is rotating at high speed, the force-applying part 424 retracts, and the movable part 42 is located at the second position P2 on the second direction D2 side. In other words, as the drum 10 rotates, the movable part 42 can movably hold the magnet 33 between the first position P1 and the second position P2, and move between the first position P1 and the second position P2.

[0091] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the storage portion 425 houses the contact portion 50. The storage portion 425 is located at the other end of the main body portion 421 in the circumferential direction, closer than at least one magnet 33. In this embodiment, the storage portion 425 is located at the other end of the main body portion 421 in the circumferential direction, closer than all magnets 33. The storage portion 425 has a longitudinal wall 426, a first locking portion 427, a second locking portion 428, and a column portion 429.

[0092] A pair of longitudinal walls 426 are provided at one end in the direction W1 and at the other end in the direction W2 of the storage section 425. The pair of longitudinal walls 426 protrude from the surface of the main body section 421 in the second direction D2 and are opposite each other in the circumferential direction.

[0093] A pair of first locking portions 427 are provided in the middle layer of a pair of longitudinal walls 426. The pair of first locking portions 427 lock the contact portions 50. The pair of first locking portions 427 extend in the circumferential direction from the pair of longitudinal walls 426 in a relatively close manner. When the pair of first locking portions 427 lock the contact portions 50, only the induced force braking function can be performed.

[0094] A pair of second locking portions 428 are provided at the ends of the pair of longitudinal walls 426 in the second direction D2. The pair of second locking portions 428 lock the contact portions 50. The pair of second locking portions 428 extend in the circumferential direction from the pair of longitudinal walls 426 in a manner that they are relatively close to each other. When the pair of second locking portions 428 lock the contact portions 50, the induced force braking function and the friction braking function can be performed.

[0095] The column portion 429 defines the axial and circumferential positions of the contact portion 50. The column portion 429 is cylindrical and extends radially from the surface of the main body portion 421 in the second direction D2. Figure 7 As shown, when the contact portion 50 is engaged with the second engaging portion 428, the end of the post portion 429 in the second direction D2 (radially outward) is located further in the first direction D1 (radially inward) than the end of the contact portion 50 in the second direction D2. Figure 8 As shown, when the contact portion 50 is engaged with the first locking portion 427, the end of the post portion 429 in the second direction D2 (radially outward) is located further in the second direction D2 (radially outward) than the end of the contact portion 50 in the second direction D2. Since the main body portion 421 has a predetermined elastic modulus, the separation interval between the opposing pair of first locking portions 427 or the pair of second locking portions 428 can be forcibly changed. This facilitates the engagement and disengagement of the contact portion 50 with the main body portion 421.

[0096] like Figures 3 to 8As shown, the contact portion 50 functions as a friction braking device. Specifically, when the contact portion 50 is engaged with the second engaging portion 428 and the movable portion 42 is in the second position P2, the contact portion 50 contacts the drum 10. The contact portion 50 is disposed on the movable portion 42. After the conductive portion 32 and the magnet 33 work together to perform an induced force braking function, the contact portion 50 performs a friction braking function. The contact portion 50 is positioned at the other end of the main body portion 421 in the circumferential direction, closer than at least one magnet 33. In this embodiment, the contact portion 50 is positioned at the other end of the main body portion 421 in the circumferential direction, closer than all magnets 33. In other words, the contact portion 50 is positioned at the end of the main body portion 421 in the other end direction W2. A cylindrical space is formed in the central portion of the contact portion 50. The cylindrical portion 429 is inserted into the cylindrical space of the contact portion 50, thereby positioning the contact portion 50. The contact portion 50 has an abutment portion 51 and a protrusion 52.

[0097] With the contact portion 50 engaged with the second locking portion 428 and the movable portion 42 in the second position P2, the abutment portion 51 abuts against the inner circumference of the drum 10. The abutment portion 51 is inserted into the post portion 429 extending from the outer circumference of the main body portion 421. The end of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 and the central portion of the drum 10 in the circumferential direction protrude in the second direction D2. Specifically, the end of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 is formed along the inner circumference of the drum 10. Thus, the end of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 slides relative to the inner circumference of the drum 10 in a face-to-face contact state. When the protrusion 52 is engaged with the first locking portion 427, the end of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 does not protrude in the second direction D2 from the end of the main body portion 421. When the protrusion 52 is engaged with the second locking portion 428, the end portion of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 protrudes from the end portion of the main body portion 421 in the second direction D2 towards the second direction D2. In this embodiment, the amount of protrusion of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 is set such that, in the initial stage when the spool 10 begins to rotate when the fishing line is pulled out, the abutment portion 51 does not contact the spool 10, and as the number of rotations of the spool 10 increases, the abutment portion 51 contacts the spool 10. Furthermore, for example, the abutment portion 51 is made of synthetic resin.

[0098] The protrusion 52 is located further in the first direction D1 than the abutment 51, and protrudes at least more circumferentially than the abutment 51. The protrusion 52 is engaged with the first locking portion 427 and the second locking portion 428. Specifically, when the protrusion 52 is engaged with the first locking portion 427, the abutment 51 is housed inside the housing portion 425. That is, when the protrusion 52 is engaged with the first locking portion 427, even if the movable portion 42 is in the second position P2, the abutment 51 does not abut against the drum 10. On the other hand, when the protrusion 52 is engaged with the second locking portion 428, the abutment 51 protrudes radially outward from the housing portion 425. That is, when the protrusion 52 is engaged with the second locking portion 428, if the movable portion 42 is in the second position P2, the abutment 51 abuts against the drum 10.

[0099] Next, refer to Figure 9 This section explains the operation of a fishing reel. Figure 9 This is a graph G representing the relationship between the elapsed time since the fishing line was released and the braking force, according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0100] The following explains the situation where the induced force braking function is activated. When the contact portion 50 is locked at the first locking portion 427, the fishing reel only activates the induced force braking function. For example... Figure 9 As shown by the dashed line in the graph, before casting, the braking force acting on the drum 10 is zero. If the drum 10 rotates due to the casting operation, eddy currents corresponding to the rotational speed are generated in the drum 10 through the magnetic flux of the magnet 33, which is positioned opposite to the conductive part 32 (drum 10). Through these eddy currents, an induced force acting in the opposite direction to the rotational direction acts on the drum 10. As a result, the braking force increases, and the drum 10 is braked. It should be noted that the first position P1 is preset to a position where eddy currents can be generated by the rotation of the drum 10.

[0101] Furthermore, the reaction force of the induced force caused by the magnet 33 due to the rotation of the drum 10 (movement of the conductive part 32 surface) pulls the magnet 33 in the direction of rotation of the drum 10. As a result, the movable part 42 resists the force applied by the force-applying part 424 and is pulled towards the rotating surface of the conductive part 32 (drum 10) with the shaft part 422 as the fulcrum. As the movable unit 40 approaches the drum 10, the magnetic flux linked to the conductive part 32 increases. As a result, the rate of change of the magnetic flux of the drum 10 in the rotational circumferential direction increases. In particular, since the magnetic poles of adjacent magnets 33 are different, the rate of change of the magnetic flux in the rotational circumferential direction further increases. That is to say, as the movable part 42 approaches the rotating surface of the drum 10, the induced force increases, and the braking force increases. Since the fishing line is lowered into the water, the braking force reaches its peak after time t1, and then decreases as time passes.

[0102] Next, the case where friction braking is performed in addition to the induced force braking function will be explained. When the contact part 50 is engaged with the second engaging part 428, the fishing reel performs both the induced force braking function and the friction braking function. Although the engaging position of the contact part 50 can be manually switched, it is basically based on the engaging position of the second engaging part 428. Figure 9 As shown by the solid line in the graph, the braking force acting on the drum 10 is zero before casting the rod. If the drum 10 rotates by casting the rod, eddy currents corresponding to the rotational speed are generated in the drum 10 through the magnetic flux of the magnet 33, which is positioned opposite to the conductive part 32. Through these eddy currents, an induced force acting in the opposite direction to the rotational direction acts on the drum 10. As a result, the braking force increases, and the drum 10 is braked.

[0103] Furthermore, the reaction force of the induced force caused by the magnet 33 due to the rotation of the drum 10 pulls the magnet 33 in the direction of rotation of the drum 10. As a result, the movable part 42 resists the force applied by the force-applying part 424 and is pulled towards the rotational surface of the conductive part 32 with the shaft part 422 as the fulcrum. As the movable part 42 approaches the drum 10, the magnetic flux connecting the conductive part 32 increases. As a result, the rate of change of the magnetic flux of the drum 10 in the rotational circumferential direction increases. In other words, as the movable part 42 approaches the rotational surface of the drum 10, the induced force increases, and the braking force increases.

[0104] Since the contact portion 50 is locked by the second locking portion 428, when the movable portion 42 moves to the position where the movable portion 42 reaches the second position P2, the abutment portion 51 contacts the inner circumferential surface of the drum 10. In this embodiment, it is adjusted so that the abutment portion 51 contacts the drum 10 after time t1 has elapsed since the start of casting. Since the abutment portion 51 slides in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the drum 10, a braking force is applied to the drum 10 by friction. Thus, after time t1, that is, in the first half when the drum 10 is rotating at its highest speed, in addition to the braking force generated by the magnetic induction force, the braking force generated by the friction force based on the reaction force of the induction force also acts on the drum 10. Therefore, after time t1, a greater braking force can be obtained compared to the case where only the induction force generates the braking force, as shown by the dashed line.

[0105] After time t1, the braking force reaches its peak, and then the induced force decreases as the rotational speed of the drum 10 decreases. If the induced force decreases, the movable part 42 separates from the rotating surface of the conductive part 32 by the force applied by the force-applying part 424. In this embodiment, it is adjusted so that the abutment part 51 separates from the drum 10 after time t2 since the start of casting. Therefore, after time t2, only the braking force generated by the induced force acts on the drum 10, and then the braking force decreases as time passes.

[0106] Based on the above structure, when the movable part 42 has not reached the second position P2, the eddy current generated by the rotation of the drum 10 can ensure the braking force on the drum 10 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the induced braking force) through the induced force generated by the magnet 33 provided opposite to the conductive part 32 provided on the drum 10, and can perform induced braking by applying induced braking force to the drum 10. When the movable part 42 is located at the second position P2 due to the eddy current generated by the rotation of the drum 10, the friction force generated by the contact part 50 contacting the drum 10 can ensure the braking force on the drum 10 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the friction braking force), and in addition to the induced braking force, can also perform friction braking by applying friction braking force to the drum 10.

[0107] Furthermore, the movable part 42 includes: a shaft portion 422 extending along the axial direction of the conductive part 32; a main body portion 421, one end of which is pivotally supported on the shaft portion 422 and supports a plurality of magnets 33; and a force-applying portion 424 that applies force to the other end of the main body portion 421 in a first direction D1, and the contact portion 50 can also be positioned closer to the other end than at least one magnet 33. According to the above structure, since the contact portion 50 is positioned close to the other end of the main body portion 421, the amount of movement of the contact portion 50 can be increased. Therefore, because the amount of movement of the contact portion 50 is large, the contact and non-contact states between the contact portion 50 and the drum 10 can be controlled.

[0108] Furthermore, the contact portion 50 can be disposed at the other end of the main body portion 421. Based on the above structure, the amount of movement of the contact portion 50 can be further increased, thereby enabling control over the contact and non-contact states between the contact portion 50 and the drum 10.

[0109] Furthermore, the contact portion 50 may have: an abutment portion 51 that abuts against the drum 10; and a protrusion 52 located further in the first direction D1 than the abutment portion 51 and protruding further than the abutment portion 51. The main body portion 421 may have: a first locking portion 427 that can lock and position the protrusion 52; and a second locking portion 428 located further in the second direction D2 than the first locking portion 427, and capable of locking and positioning the protrusion 52. According to the above structure, when the contact portion 50 is positioned at the first locking portion 427, braking using friction force can be prohibited; when the contact portion 50 is positioned at the second locking portion 428, braking using friction force can be performed. In other words, the braking force can be easily adjusted by switching between braking with friction force added to the induced braking force and braking without friction force, i.e., braking with only induced braking force, by the locking position.

[0110] Furthermore, the end portion and the circumferential center portion of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 can also protrude in the second direction. According to the above structure, since the end portion and the circumferential center portion of the abutment portion 51 protrude in the second direction D2, the abutment portion 51 contacts the surface of the drum 10. Therefore, since the abutment portion 51 contacts the inner circumferential surface of the drum 10, the generation of abnormal noise can be suppressed.

[0111] Furthermore, the abutment portion 51 of the contact portion 50 located at the second locking portion 428 protrudes from the surface of the main body portion 421 in the second direction D2. The amount of protrusion of the abutment portion 51 in the second direction D2 can be set such that, in the initial stage when the spool 10 begins to rotate as the fishing line is pulled out, the abutment portion 51 is in a non-contact state with the spool 10, and as the rotation of the spool 10 increases, the abutment portion 51 comes into contact with the spool 10. According to the above structure, in addition to the induced braking force generated by the magnet 33 provided opposite to the conductive portion 32 provided on the spool 10, when the movable portion 42 is located at the second position P2 due to the rotation of the spool 10, the contact portion 50 comes into contact with the spool 10, thereby enabling braking with an additional friction braking force.

[0112] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be implemented in various ways without departing from its spirit. For ease of understanding, the drawings are sometimes schematically shown with each component as the main element. The number of each component shown in the drawings may differ from the actual number due to the convenience of making the drawings. Furthermore, the components shown in the above embodiments are merely examples and are not particularly limited. Various modifications can be made without substantially departing from the effect of the present invention.

[0113] (1) In this embodiment, the movable part 42 is in the form of swinging radially around the shaft part 422 in the cylindrical part 41, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The movable part 42 may also be a movable part that moves parallel to the radial direction. Figure 10 This is a front view showing a modified example of the movable part 42 in the first embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the movable unit 40A has a movable part 42A. The movable part 42A has a main body part 421A, a force-applying part (not shown), and a linkage mechanism 43.

[0114] The main body 421A undulates via a linkage mechanism 43. The main body 421A supports a plurality of magnets 33 and a single contact portion 50 radially outward. Specifically, the single contact portion 50 is positioned between two magnets 33 with different magnetic poles.

[0115] The linkage mechanism 43 has a pair of links 431. One link 431 connects the end of the main body portion 421A in the direction W1 to the cylindrical main body 411. The other link 431 connects the end of the main body portion 421A in the direction W2 to the cylindrical main body 411. The pair of links 431 and the main body portion 421A form a parallelogram linkage. When the pair of links 431 are in a collapsed position, the main body portion 421A is located further in the first direction D1 than when the pair of links 431 are in an upright position. The main body portion 421A when the pair of links 431 are in an upright position is parallel to the main body portion 421A when the pair of links 431 are in a collapsed position.

[0116] Even when the magnet 33 does not generate an inductive force, the force-applying part applies force in a manner that causes the pair of connecting rods 431 to fall over. According to this structure, the distance between each magnet 33 and the conductive part 32 is equal, and the magnetic flux of the magnet 33 can be effectively utilized regardless of the position of the magnet 33 in the circumferential direction.

[0117] (2) In this embodiment, a pair of movable parts 42 are provided, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The movable part 42 may be a single part or three or more parts. In addition, the number of magnets 33 and the number of contact parts 50 may be appropriately selected according to the required performance.

[0118] (3) In this embodiment, no component is disposed between the protrusion 52 and the main body 421, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. A contact force-applying part that applies force to the contact part 50 in the second direction D2 may be provided between the protrusion 52 and the main body 421. In this case, the force applied by the contact force-applying part is lower than the force applied by the force-applying part 424. As a result, the timing of the friction force can be managed with high precision.

[0119] (4) In this embodiment, the contact portion 50 is positioned and fixed by the first locking portion 427, the second locking portion 428, and the post portion 429, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The first locking portion 427 and the second locking portion 428 can be omitted by providing a thread on the post portion 429 and a threaded hole in the center of the contact portion 50. In this case, an anti-loosening mechanism can also be provided between the contact portion 50 and the post portion 429.

[0120] (5) A lubricating oil supply mechanism for supplying lubricating oil can be provided on the inner circumferential surface of the drum 10. As a result, when the contact part 50 contacts the drum 10, abnormal noise can be prevented.

[0121] (6) In this embodiment, the locking position of the contact portion 50 is changed manually between the first locking portion 427 and the second locking portion 428, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The locking position of the contact portion 50 can be fixed at the locking position of the second locking portion 428. In addition, a switching device for switching the locking position can be provided to mechanically change the locking position of the contact portion 50.

[0122] (7) In this embodiment, one end of the main body 421 in the circumferential direction is swayably supported on the shaft 422, and the other end in the circumferential direction is subjected to force, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The main body 421 may also be configured such that, not limited to the circumferential direction, the middle part is swayably supported on the shaft 422, and the middle part is subjected to force.

[0123] Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the fishing reel of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the drawings, the same or equivalent parts are given the same reference numerals and will not be described again.

[0124] (Implementation Method 1) Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The prior art of a fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 11 This is a schematic structural diagram of a partial cross-section of a fishing reel having the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 This is a cross-sectional view of the reel 10 and the braking device 20 in the non-braking state, according to Embodiment 1 of the second aspect of the present invention. For example, this fishing reel is a dual-bearing reel primarily used for lure fishing. Figure 11 As shown, the fishing reel has a handle 1, a star-shaped force valve 2, a reel body 3, and a braking device 20.

[0125] The handle 1 is used for winding the fishing line. The handle 1 is located on the side of the reel body 3. The handle 1 has: an arm 1a, which is plate-shaped and has a rotating shaft at the center in the longitudinal direction; and a pair of handles 1b, which are rotatably mounted at both ends of the arm 1a. When the handle 1 is turned, the spool 10, described later, rotates and winds the fishing line.

[0126] The star-shaped force valve 2 adjusts the line to prevent it from breaking due to excessive tension when a fish is hooked. The star-shaped force valve 2 is coaxially configured with the handle 1 and located between the handle 1 and the reel body 3.

[0127] The reel body 3 is mounted on the fishing rod. The reel body 3 has a spool 10, a frame 11, a cover 12, a clutch operating lever 14, and a retaining part 15. Furthermore, the reel body 3 has a gear mechanism, a clutch mechanism, a traction mechanism, and a uniform winding mechanism 13, etc.

[0128] The spool 10 is configured to wind fishing line. The spool 10 is mounted on the reel body 3 in a manner that allows it to rotate about an axis. For example, the spool 10 is made of aluminum alloy, which is a non-magnetic electrical conductor. The spool 10 is not limited to aluminum alloy. The spool 10 only needs to be at least a non-magnetic electrical conductor, and various materials can be selected. Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the drum 10 has a body 101, a flange portion 102, a boss portion 103, and a drum shaft 104. For example, the drum 10 is integrally formed from a drum component disposed on the drum shaft 104 and rotating about the axis.

[0129] Fishing line is wound around the outer periphery of the body 101. The body 101 is generally cylindrical. The inner diameter of the body 101 tapers from the center outward along the axial direction. That is, a first tapered portion 101a is provided on the inner periphery of the body 101. It should be noted that the inner diameter of the body 101 tapers, but is not limited to this. The inner diameter of the body 101 may increase towards the outer side, or it may be curved.

[0130] Flange portions 102 are respectively provided at the ends of both sides of the body 101. A pair of flange portions 102 extend axially and radially outward from the ends of both sides of the body 101. A boss portion 103 is integrally provided with the body 101 at the center of the body 101 in the axial direction. The boss portion 103 is formed into a cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction.

[0131] The spool 104 is rotatably supported on the main body of the cable reel. The spool 104 is fixed to the boss portion 103 and rotates synchronously with the body portion 101. The spool 104 passes through the boss portion 103. For example, the spool 104 is fixed to the boss portion 103 by a serrated engagement or adhesive to avoid relative rotation with respect to the body portion 101.

[0132] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the frame 11 supports the handle 1, the reel 10, and other components. A pair of frames 11 are provided. Each pair of frames 11 is a plate-shaped component arranged opposite each other across the reel 10 and orthogonal to the extending direction of the reel shaft 104. Hereinafter, with the fishing reel mounted on the fishing rod, the direction in which the rod tip points is sometimes referred to as forward X1, the opposite direction as backward X2, and the forward-backward direction as X. The direction from the reel 10 towards the handle 1 is sometimes referred to as left Y1, the opposite direction as right Y2, and the left-right direction as Y.

[0133] The cover 12 forms the outer wall of the reel body 3. The cover 12 has a thumb support portion. Except for the rear X2 of the reel 10, the thumb support portion is arranged around the reel 10.

[0134] The uniform winding mechanism 13 is used to uniformly wind the fishing line onto the spool 10. The uniform winding mechanism 13 moves in the left-right direction. The uniform winding mechanism 13 is positioned between the first frame 111 and the second frame 112 at the front X1 of the spool 10.

[0135] The clutch operating lever 14 is used to operate the clutch mechanism between the operating handle 1 and the drum 10. The clutch operating lever 14 is configured to be located at the rear X2 of the drum 10 and is capable of swinging in the vertical direction. In addition, the clutch operating lever 14 has a thumb rest portion at the middle part in the horizontal Y direction for thumb pressing.

[0136] The retaining part 15 holds the magnetic part 22, which will be described later. The retaining part 15 is disposed on the right side Y2 of the spool 10 and supported by the frame 11. The left end of the retaining part 15 is configured to be in the same plane as the left end of the frame 11. Furthermore, the retaining part 15 is formed in a cylindrical shape and has the same axis as the spool shaft 104. The retaining part 15 includes: a first retaining part 151; a second retaining part 152, which is located radially inward than the first retaining part 151; and a sliding member 16.

[0137] The slider 16 is a ring-shaped component formed from a self-lubricating synthetic resin material. For example, the slider 16 can be selected from POM (polyoxymethylene), MC nylon, PTFE, UPE, etc. The slider 16 is equivalent to the brake shoe in a brake system used in vehicles, etc. The slider 16 has a first slider 161 and a second slider 162.

[0138] The first slider 161 is disposed at the left end of the first retaining portion 151, forming a part of the first retaining portion 151. The left end of the first slider 161 is configured to be on the same plane as the left end of the frame 11. It should be noted that the first slider 161 can extend radially and be disposed at the left end of both the first retaining portion 151 and the left end of a part of the frame 11. Furthermore, the left end of the first slider 161 can protrude further to the left than the left end of the frame 11.

[0139] The second slider 162 is disposed at the left end of the second retaining portion 152, forming a part of the second retaining portion 152. The left end of the second slider 162 is configured to be on the same plane as the left end of the frame 11. It should be noted that the second slider 162 can extend radially and be disposed at the left end of both the second retaining portion 152 and the left end of a part of the frame 11. Furthermore, the left end of the second slider 162 can protrude further to the left than the left end of the frame 11.

[0140] Next, refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The braking device 20 will be described. Figure 13 This is a cross-sectional view of the drum 10 and the braking device 20 in a friction braking state, according to Embodiment 1 of the second aspect of the present invention. The friction braking state is a state in which braking is performed using friction generated by contact. Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the braking device 20 has a moving part 21, a magnetic part 22, and a conductive part 23.

[0141] The moving part 21 moves along the axis of the drum shaft 104 according to the rotational speed of the drum 10. The moving part 21 is disposed on the drum shaft 104 and rotates integrally with the drum 10 in sync. Since the centrifugal force increases with the faster the rotational speed of the drum 10, the movement of the moving part 21 increases. The moving part 21 is located between the inner circumference of the drum 10 and the drum shaft 104. The moving part 21 has a moving main body 211, a support 212, a guide 213, and a force-applying part 214.

[0142] The movable main body 211 supports the support part 212 and the guide part 213. The movable main body 211 is generally cylindrical and is inserted through the spool 104. For example, the movable main body 211 slides in the left-right direction Y from the center of the axial direction of the spool 100 to the end of the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the spool 104. The movable main body 211 may be integrally formed with the support part 212.

[0143] The support portion 212 supports the guide portion 213. The support portion 212 extends radially outward from the middle portion in the left-right direction Y of the moving main body portion 211. The radially outer end of the support portion 212 is radially separated from the inner periphery (first tapered portion 101a) of the drum 10.

[0144] The guide portion 213 is formed to be guided by the support portion 212 and is movable radially. The guide portion 213 is circumferentially anti-rotating relative to the support portion 212. The guide portion 213 is held to the support portion 212 in such a way that it covers the support portion 212 from the radially outward side; therefore, when moving radially outward, the overlap area with the support portion 212 decreases, and when moving radially inward, the overlap area with the support portion 212 increases. It should be noted that the guide portion 213 is preferably formed of a self-lubricating synthetic resin material. This allows for the suppression of abnormal noise while exerting frictional force. For example, the guide portion 213 can be selected from POM (polyoxymethylene), MC nylon, PTFE, UPE, etc. The guide portion 213 has a second tapered portion 213a.

[0145] The second tapered portion 213a is disposed opposite to the inner circumference of the drum 10 (the first tapered portion 101a) at the radially outer end of the guide portion 213. Specifically, the second tapered portion 213a is inclined along the axial direction of the drum 10 and bent along the circumference of the drum 10. That is, the second tapered portion 213a is formed to be able to contact and slide with the surface of the first tapered portion 101a. Thus, the second tapered portion 213a converts the force acting on the guide portion 213 in the radially outward direction into a force in the axial direction toward the right (Y2).

[0146] The force-applying part 214 applies force to the moving main body 211 toward the center of the drum 10 along its axial direction. This force-applying part 214 is inserted into the drum shaft 104. The left end of the force-applying part 214 abuts against the right end of the moving main body 211, and the right end of the force-applying part 214 abuts against the locking part 104a. For example, the locking part 104a is supported in a groove of the drum shaft 104.

[0147] The magnetic part 22 has magnetic force. The magnetic part 22 is formed as a cylinder with the same axis as the axis of the spool 10. The magnetic part 22 is provided in the winding body 3. Specifically, the magnetic part 22 is disposed on the right side Y2 of the spool 10 and is held radially by the holding part 15. The magnetic part 22 has a first magnet part 221 and a second magnet part 222.

[0148] The first magnet portion 221 is located radially outward of the spool 10, further than the conductive portion 23. The first magnet portion 221 is a ring-shaped magnet, with its S and N poles alternately magnetized circumferentially, oriented radially. This first magnet portion 221 is held by a first holding portion 151. Specifically, the radially outer portion of the first magnet portion 221 is surrounded by the first holding portion 151, which is supported on the frame 11. The left end of the first magnet portion 221 is located further to the right than the left end of the first slider 161 (first holding portion 151).

[0149] The second magnet portion 222 is located radially inward of the drum 10, closer to the conductive portion 23. The second magnet portion 222 is a ring-shaped magnet in which the S and N poles, oriented radially, are alternately magnetized circumferentially. This second magnet portion 222 is arranged opposite to the first magnet portion 221 in a polarity opposite to that of the first magnet portion 221. The left end of the second magnet portion 222 is positioned at the same location as the left end of the first magnet portion 221 along the axial direction of the drum 10. The second magnet portion 222 is held by the second holding portion 152. Specifically, the radially inward portion of the second magnet portion 222 is supported by and surrounded by the second holding portion 152 of the frame 11. The left end of the second magnet portion 222 is located further to the right than the left end of the second slider 162 (the second holding portion 152). It should be noted that while the magnetic poles of the first magnet portion 221 and the second magnet portion 222 are arranged opposite to each other, this is not a limitation. One of the first magnet part 221 and the second magnet part 222 can be configured to rotate in the circumferential direction, and the braking force can be adjusted by shifting the phase of the two.

[0150] A conductive portion 23 is disposed on the movable portion 21 and moves together with the movable portion 21. The conductive portion 23 moves closer to or further away from the magnetic portion 22 depending on the rotational speed of the drum 10. The conductive portion 23 is formed as a cylinder with the same axis as the axis of the drum 10. Specifically, the diameter of the conductive portion 23 is smaller than the diameter of the first magnet portion 221 and larger than the diameter of the second magnet portion 222. The conductive portion 23 rotates integrally with the drum 10; the faster the rotational speed of the drum 10, the more of it enters the magnetic field formed by the magnetic portion 22. When the drum 10 is not rotating, the conductive portion 23 does not enter the magnetic field formed by the magnetic portion 22. For example, the conductive portion 23 is formed of a non-magnetic conductive material such as aluminum or copper. The conductive portion 23 has a connecting portion 230 and a contact portion 23A.

[0151] The connecting portion 230 connects the conductive portion 23 to the movable main body portion 211. The connecting portion 230 extends radially outward from the movable main body portion 211 at a position further outward in the axial direction than the support portion 212 (right side Y2). The connecting portion 230 supports the inner end of the conductive portion 23 in the axial direction at its radially outward portion. Thus, the connecting portion 230 maintains the posture of the conductive portion 23 extending outward in the axial direction (right side Y2) from the connecting portion 230.

[0152] The contact portion 23A is formed to be able to contact the contacted portion. The contacted portion is provided in the cable reel body 3 (see reference). Figure 11 For example, the contacted portion corresponds to at least one of the frame 11, the holding portion 15, and the magnetic portion 22. In this embodiment, the holding portion 15 corresponds to the "contacted portion". Specifically, the first slider 161, which constitutes part of the first holding portion 151, and the second slider 162, which constitutes part of the second holding portion 152, respectively correspond to the "contacted portion".

[0153] The contact portion 23A is provided on the movable portion 21 and moves together with the movable portion 21. Specifically, the contact portion 23A is integrally formed with the conductive portion 23. The contact portion 23A has a first contact portion 231 and a second contact portion 232. For example, the contact portion 23A corresponds to the brake disc in a brake system used in vehicles, etc.

[0154] The first contact portion 231 is in surface contact with the first slider 161. The first contact portion 231 is an annular plate portion. The first contact portion 231 extends radially outward from the midpoint of the axial direction of the conductive portion 23. The radially outward end of the first contact portion 231 is located radially inward than the radially outward end of the first slider 161. When the amount of conductive portion 23 attempting to enter the magnetic field of magnetic portion 22 reaches a predetermined value or more, the first contact portion 231 abuts against the first slider 161, generating a frictional braking force. The magnetic field of magnetic portion 22 approximates the space formed by the opposing first magnet portion 221 and second magnet portion 222.

[0155] The second contact portion 232 is in surface contact with the second slider 162. The second contact portion 232 is an annular plate portion. The radially inner end of the second contact portion 232 is located further radially outward than the radially inner end of the second slider 162. The second contact portion 232 extends radially inward from the midpoint of the axial direction of the conductive portion 23 corresponding to the first contact portion 231. Therefore, the timing of the second contact portion 232 abutting against the second slider 162 is the same as the timing of the first contact portion 231 abutting against the first slider 161. Hereinafter, the state in which the conductive portion 23 is not in the magnetic field of the magnetic portion 22 is sometimes referred to as the non-braking state; the state in which the conductive portion 23 is in the magnetic field of the magnetic portion 22 and the amount of entry is less than a predetermined value so that the contact portion 23A is not in contact with the slider 16 is sometimes referred to as the induced force braking state; and the state in which the conductive portion 23 is in the magnetic field of the magnetic portion 22 and the contact portion 23A is in contact with the slider 16 is sometimes referred to as the friction braking state.

[0156] Next, the operation of the braking device 20 will be explained. For example... Figure 12 As shown, when the drum 10 is not rotating and is in a non-braking state, the centrifugal force directed radially outward does not act on the moving part 21. Since the centrifugal force does not act on the moving part 21, the moving main body 211 is pressed inward (to the left Y1 side) by the force applied by the force-applying part 214. In the non-braking state, the conductive part 23, the first contact part 231, and the second contact part 232 are separated from the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22. The conductive part 23 is largely unaffected by the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22.

[0157] When the drum 10 begins to rotate due to the boom operation, a centrifugal force acting radially outward acts on the moving part 21. Because of this centrifugal force acting on the moving part 21, the guide part 213 moves radially outward along the support part 212, and the second conical part 213a is pressed against the first conical part 101a of the body 101. The guide part 213 converts the radially outward force acting on the moving part 21 into an axially outward force (right Y2 side). The moving body part 211 moves to a position where the axially outward force after centrifugal force conversion is balanced with the applied force of the force-applying part 214. As a result, the conductive part 23 enters the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22. Through the magnetic flux of the magnetic part 22, which is positioned opposite to the conductive part 23, eddy currents corresponding to the rotational speed are generated in the drum 10. The eddy currents, acting in the opposite direction to the rotational direction, exert an induced force braking function on the drum 10. It should be noted that the induced force braking function refers to the function of using the induced force caused by the eddy current generated by the magnetic force as a braking force in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the drum 10, and making it act on the drum 10.

[0158] like Figure 13As shown, when the rotational speed of the drum 10 further increases and the centrifugal force acting on the moving part 21 increases, the amount by which the conductive part 23 attempts to enter the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22 increases to a predetermined value or more. Due to the larger centrifugal force acting on the moving part 21, the moving main body 211 resists the force-applying part 214 and moves further outward in the axial direction. Through the movement of the moving main body 211, the eddy current increases, and the induced force also increases with the increase of the eddy current. Furthermore, since the amount by which the conductive part 23 attempts to enter the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22 reaches a predetermined value or more, the contact part 23A contacts the sliding member 16. Frictional force is generated between the contact part 23A and the sliding member 16, thereby enabling the friction braking function. Thus, the induced force and frictional force act as braking forces on the drum 10. It should be noted that the friction braking function refers to the function whereby the frictional force generated by the contact part 23A contacting the sliding member 16 (holding part 15), which is the contacted part, functions as the braking force of the drum 10.

[0159] On the other hand, as the rotational speed of the drum 10 decreases, the centrifugal force acting on the moving part 21 decreases. As the centrifugal force decreases, the force acting on the outer side in the axial direction decreases, and the moving main body 211 moves inward in the axial direction. As a result, the contact part 23A separates from the slider 16, and the conductive part 23 retracts from the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22.

[0160] Based on the above structure, since it has: a moving part 21 that moves along the axis of the drum shaft 104 according to the rotational speed of the drum 10; a conductive part 23 that moves together with the moving part 21 and can approach or move away from the magnetic part 22; and a contact part 23A that moves together with the moving part 21 and can contact the contacted part, i.e., the sliding member 16 (holding part 15), provided on the main body 3 of the reel, shortly after the casting operation, the induced force caused by the eddy current generated by the magnetic force can act on the drum 10. If the rotational speed of the drum 10 further increases, the moving part 21 approaches the magnetic part 22 due to the centrifugal force of the drum 10, and the contact part 23A contacts the sliding member 16. In other words, in addition to non-contact braking, i.e., induced force braking, where there is no contact with the drum 10, the braking device 20 also applies contact braking, i.e., friction braking, where there is contact with the drum 10. Therefore, since both induced force and friction braking can be applied to the drum 10, recoil can be suppressed.

[0161] Furthermore, the cable reel body 3 is configured to include a retaining portion 15 that holds the magnetic force portion 22. The retaining portion 15 also has a sliding member 16 that contacts the contact portion 23A. Thus, the contacted portion that contacts the contact portion 23A and the retaining portion 15, which is part of the cable reel body 3, can be shared, thereby achieving weight reduction and device miniaturization.

[0162] Furthermore, the holding portion 15, which is the contacted portion, has a sliding member 16. According to this structure, the contact portion 23A and the holding portion 15 are pressed together via the sliding member 16, thus suppressing the generation of abnormal noise during friction braking.

[0163] Furthermore, the holding portion 15 includes: a first holding portion 151 that holds a first magnet portion 221 located radially outward of the winding 10 compared to the conductive portion 23; and a second holding portion 152 that holds a second magnet portion 222 located radially inward of the winding 10 compared to the conductive portion 23 and disposed opposite to the first magnet portion 221. The contact portion 23A includes: a first contact portion 231 capable of contacting the first holding portion 151; and a second contact portion 232 capable of contacting the second holding portion 152. According to this structure, since the contact portion 23A has a first contact portion 231 capable of contacting the first holding portion 151 and a second contact portion 232 capable of contacting the second holding portion 152, the contact area between the contact portion 23A and the contacted portion can be increased compared to the case where the contact portion 23A has a single structure. In other words, since the contact area between the contact portion 23A and the contacted portion can be increased, the frictional force generated between the contact portion 23A and the contacted portion can be increased. Therefore, by increasing friction, it is possible to further suppress recoil from fishing reels.

[0164] (Implementation Method 2) Next, refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 Embodiment 2 of the braking device 20 will be described. The main difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the contacted part is the magnetic part 22A instead of the retaining part 15, which is part of the winding body 3. Hereinafter, the differences between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 will be explained. It should be noted that since the various variations described below are basically the same as those in Embodiment 1, the same reference numerals will be used for the same parts, and detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0165] Figure 14 This is a diagram showing the braking device 20A in the non-braking state of Embodiment 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 15 This is a diagram illustrating the braking device 20A in the friction braking state of Embodiment 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention. (See diagram) Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the braking device 20A has a moving part 21, a magnetic part 22A, and a conductive part 23.

[0166] For example, the magnetic part 22A is equivalent to the "contacted part". The magnetic part 22A has a first magnet part 221, a second magnet part 222, and a slider 16. The slider 16 includes a third slider 163 and a fourth slider 164.

[0167] The third slider 163 is disposed at the left end of the first magnet portion 221, forming a part of the first magnet portion 221. The radial width of the third slider 163 is the same as the radial width of the first magnet portion 221. The third slider 163 can be extended radially, and can be disposed at the left end of a part of the frame 11 in addition to the left end of the first magnet portion 221.

[0168] The fourth slider 164 is disposed at the left end of the second magnet portion 222, forming a part of the second magnet portion 222. The radial width of the fourth slider 164 is the same as the radial width of the second magnet portion 222. The fourth slider 164 can be extended radially, and can be disposed at the left end of a part of the frame 11 in addition to the left end of the second magnet portion 222.

[0169] The conductive part 23 has a contact part 23A. The contact part 23A is integrally formed with the conductive part 23. The contact part 23A has a third contact part 233 and a fourth contact part 234.

[0170] The third contact portion 233 contacts the third slider 163. The third contact portion 233 is an annular plate portion. The third contact portion 233 extends radially outward from the middle portion in the axial direction of the conductive portion 23. The radially outer end of the third contact portion 233 is located at a radial position that can abut against the left side of the third slider 163. When the amount by which the conductive portion 23 attempts to enter the magnetic field of the magnetic portion 22 reaches a predetermined value or more, the third contact portion 233 abuts against the left side of the third slider 163 and generates a frictional braking force.

[0171] The fourth contact portion 234 contacts the fourth slider 164. The fourth contact portion 234 is an annular plate portion. The radially inner end of the fourth contact portion 234 is located at a radial position that allows it to abut against the left side of the fourth slider 164. The fourth contact portion 234 extends radially inward from the middle portion of the conductive portion 23 corresponding to the third contact portion 233 along its axial direction. Therefore, the timing of the contact between the fourth contact portion 234 and the left side of the fourth slider 164 is the same as the timing of the contact between the third contact portion 233 and the left side of the third slider 163.

[0172] According to the above structure, when the amount of conductive part 23 attempting to enter the magnetic field of magnetic part 22A increases to a predetermined value or more, in addition to induced force braking, the third contact part 233 and the fourth contact part 234 also contact the third slider 163 and the fourth slider 164 respectively, and perform friction braking function. Moreover, by integrating the slider 16 with the magnetic part 22A, the third slider 163 (fourth slider 164) can be disposed in the ineffective space formed between the left end of the first holding part 151 (second holding part 152) and the left end of the first magnet part 221 (second magnet part 222). Thus, the ineffective space generated by the arrangement of the magnetic part 22 can be utilized, thereby enabling miniaturization of the braking device 20A.

[0173] (Implementation Method 3) Next, refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 Embodiment three of the braking device 20 will be described. The main difference between Embodiment three and Embodiments one and two lies in the mounting of the sliding member 16 to the contact portion 23A. The differences between Embodiment three and Embodiments one and two will be explained below.

[0174] Figure 16 This is a diagram showing the braking device 20B in the non-braking state of Embodiment 3 of the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 17 This is a diagram illustrating the braking device 20B in the friction braking state of Embodiment 3, which is a second embodiment of the present invention. (See diagram) Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the braking device 20B has a moving part 21, a magnetic part 22, and a conductive part 23.

[0175] For example, the magnetic part 22 is equivalent to the "contacted part". The magnetic part 22 has a first magnet part 221 and a second magnet part 222.

[0176] The conductive part 23 has a contact part 23B. The contact part 23B is integrally formed with the conductive part 23. The contact part 23B has a third contact part 233, a fourth contact part 234, and a slider 16. The slider 16 includes a fifth slider 165 and a sixth slider 166. The fifth slider 165 and the sixth slider 166 are each formed in an annular shape.

[0177] The third contact portion 233 contacts the first magnet portion 221. The third contact portion 233 has a fifth slider 165. The fifth slider 165 is located on the right side and radially outward end of the third contact portion 233.

[0178] The fourth contact portion 234 contacts the second magnet portion 222. The fourth contact portion 234 has a sixth slider 166. The sixth slider 166 is located on the right side and radially inward end of the fourth contact portion 234.

[0179] According to the above structure, when the amount by which the conductive part 23 attempts to enter the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22 increases to a predetermined value, in addition to induced force braking, the fifth sliding member 165 and the sixth sliding member 166 also contact the first magnet part 221 and the second magnet part 222 respectively, and perform friction braking function. Moreover, since the sliding member 16 is fixed to the drum 10 side, the moment of inertia of the moving part 21 can be increased when the braking device 20B is activated, thereby enabling earlier rise of the centrifugal force of the drum 10.

[0180] (Implementation Method 4) Next, refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 Embodiment four of the braking device 20 will be described. The main difference between Embodiment four and other embodiments lies in the placement of the slider 16 between the first magnet portion 221 and the second magnet portion 222. The differences between Embodiment four and other embodiments will be explained below.

[0181] Figure 18 This is a diagram showing the braking device 20C in the non-braking state of Embodiment 4 of the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 19 This is a diagram illustrating the braking device 20C in the friction braking state of Embodiment 4, which is a second embodiment of the present invention. (See diagram) Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the braking device 20C has a moving part 21, a magnetic part 22C, and a conductive part 23.

[0182] For example, the magnetic part 22C is equivalent to the "contacted part". The magnetic part 22C has a first magnet part 221, a second magnet part 222, and a slider 16. The slider 16 includes a seventh slider 167.

[0183] A seventh slider 167 is disposed between the first magnet portion 221 and the second magnet portion 222. Specifically, the seventh slider 167 is fixed to the middle portion in the axial direction of the magnetic portion 22C. This seventh slider 167 is formed of a ring-shaped component that is approximately orthogonal to the left-right direction Y.

[0184] The conductive part 23 has a contact part 23C. The contact part 23C is integrally formed with the conductive part 23. The contact part 23C is located at the right end of the conductive part 23. When the amount by which the conductive part 23 attempts to enter the magnetic field of the magnetic part 22 increases to a predetermined value or more, the contact part 23C contacts the seventh slider 167.

[0185] Based on the above structure, when the amount of conductive part 23 attempting to enter the magnetic field of magnetic part 22 increases to a predetermined value or more, in addition to induced force braking, the frictional braking function generated by the contact part 23C contacting the seventh sliding member 167 is also utilized. Moreover, there is no need to separately provide radially extending contact parts on conductive part 23, thereby simplifying components and achieving miniaturization and weight reduction of the device.

[0186] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be implemented in various ways without departing from its spirit. For ease of understanding, the drawings are sometimes schematically shown with each component as the main element. The number of each component shown in the drawings may differ from the actual number due to the convenience of making the drawings. Furthermore, the components shown in the above embodiments are merely examples and are not particularly limited. Various modifications can be made without substantially departing from the effect of the present invention.

[0187] (1) In this embodiment, the contact portion 23A extends radially from the conductive portion 23, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The contact portion 23A can be in a contact state with the magnetic portion 22 at least when friction is required. Therefore, the contact portion 23A can be configured to switch between an upright state where it can contact the magnetic portion 22 and a folded state where it cannot contact the magnetic portion 22. Specifically, a flexible hinge is provided at the middle of the radial direction of the contact portion 23A. Thus, the contact portion 23A can switch between a first posture that extends radially and contacts the magnetic portion 22, and a second posture that bends in a direction intersecting the radial direction and does not contact the magnetic portion 22. Therefore, since it is possible to switch whether friction braking force is used, the required braking characteristics can be performed according to the usage conditions even if the rotational speed of the drum is the same. Furthermore, a switching mechanism that can freely switch the posture of the contact portion 23A between the first posture and the second posture can also be provided.

[0188] (2) In this embodiment, the magnetic part 22 has a first magnet part 221 and a second magnet part 222, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The braking device only needs to be able to perform both induced force braking and friction braking, so the magnetic part 22 can be a single magnet part. In this case, a slider can be provided instead of the omitted magnet part. As a result, it is possible to increase the braking force while suppressing the generation of abnormal noise during braking.

[0189] (3) In this embodiment, the conductive part 23 is supported on the moving main body part 211 via the connecting part 230, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The conductive part 23 can move forward and backward along the axial direction based on the centrifugal force caused by the rotation speed of the drum 10. For example, the conductive part 23 can be supported on the support part 212 or on the guide part 213.

[0190] (4) In this embodiment, the contact portion 23A contacts the slider 16, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The contact portion 23A can at least contact the contacted portion provided on the main body 3 of the reel, and the slider 16 can be omitted so that it contacts the frame 11 or the holding portion 15, etc.

[0191] (5) In this embodiment, the conductive part 23 moves forward and backward along the axial direction based on the centrifugal force caused by the rotational speed of the drum 10, but this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, such as Figure 20 As shown, a cam surface can be formed to cause the conductive part 23 to move axially when the drum 10 rotates. Hereinafter, based on... Figure 20 Detailed explanation. Since it is basically the same as Embodiment 2 described above, the same symbols are added to the same parts, and detailed explanation is omitted.

[0192] like Figure 20 As shown, the braking device 20D has a cam portion 4. The cam portion 4 has a fixed cam portion 104A and a movable cam portion 211A. The fixed cam portion 104A is configured to rotate integrally with the drum shaft 104 and has an inclined fixed cam surface 104b facing outward in the axial direction. The movable cam portion 211A is configured to move relative to the drum shaft 104 in the axial direction and has an inclined movable cam surface 211a facing inward in the axial direction. When the rotational speed of the drum 10 is low, the fixed cam surface 104b and the movable cam surface 211a are approximately parallel and in surface contact, therefore, the movable cam portion 211A is located to the left (Y1). When the rotational speed of the drum 10 increases, the component of the fixed cam surface 104b relative to the movable cam surface 211a facing outward in the axial direction increases. If the axial component of the force on the fixed cam surface 104b is greater than the force applied by the force-applying part 214, the relative state between the fixed cam surface 104b and the movable cam surface 211a changes, and the movable cam part 211A is pressed by the fixed cam part 104A and moves to the right Y2. By appropriately setting the tilt angle between the fixed cam surface 104b and the movable cam surface 211a, the timing of friction braking can be adjusted.
