Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fishing gear, in particular to a fishing reel with a line-releasing switch state sensing function. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their hobbies are developing rapidly. Fishing is an outdoor sport. The goal is to catch fish from the water with fishing gear. Fishing is not limited to gender and age. Adults and children like it. Fishing is close to nature and cultivates sentiments. It has been enthusiastically pursued by many enthusiasts.

[0003] The fishing reel is a vital part of fishing gear, and the most important parts of the fishing reel are the spool for winding the fishing line and the crank for rotating the spool. In actual use of the fishing reel, there is no need for transmission between the spool and the crank when casting. Therefore, the existing fishing reels on the market are generally provided with a clutch assembly and a line-releasing switch. Before casting, pressing the line-releasing switch switches the clutch assembly to a disengaged state, so that the spool can rotate without being hindered by the crank, thereby releasing the line smoothly.

[0004] For example, the Chinese patent with patent number ZL202023337642.0 discloses: "A clutch structure for a fishing reel, which solves the technical problems of the clutch structure of the existing fishing reel not being able to clutch in place and having poor stability. It includes a pinion mounted on the winding wheel shaft, a clutch pressure plate that drives the pinion to disengage the winding wheel shaft, a clutch cam pressure plate located below the clutch pressure plate, a clutch switch that drives the clutch cam pressure plate, and a clutch cam connecting plate that resets the clutch cam pressure plate; a U-shaped opening is provided at one end of the clutch cam pressure plate, and protrusions are provided on the clutch cam pressure plates on the left and right sides of the U-shaped opening; a strip limit hole perpendicular to the U-shaped opening is provided at the other end of the clutch cam pressure plate, and the driving end of the clutch switch is located in the strip limit hole; this application is widely used in the technical field of fishing reel clutch mechanisms".

[0005] Including the solution described in the above patent, the fishing reels with clutch components and line release switches in the prior art all have a defect, that is, during casting with the fishing reel, the rotation of the spool will not only be hindered by the rocker arm, but also affected by the brake component in the fishing reel. In particular, most existing fishing reels are provided with brake components. If you want to eliminate the influence of the brake component on the rotation of the spool during casting, you need to implement inductive monitoring of the state of the line release switch, so that the subsequent release switch state changes and the brake component is linked, so that the brake component also changes state;

[0006] However, the prior art still lacks a fishing reel that can sense and monitor changes in the state of a line-releasing switch. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to overcome the deficiency of the prior art that there is a lack of fishing reels capable of sensing and monitoring the state of a line-releasing switch, the utility model provides a fishing reel with a line-releasing switch state sensing function.

[0008] The utility model solves the technical problem by providing a fishing reel with a line-releasing switch state sensing function, comprising:

[0009] Reel body;

[0010] A spool, which is rotatably connected to the spool body via a rotating shaft;

[0011] A crank handle rotatably connected to the reel body;

[0012] A clutch assembly, which acts between the rotating shaft and the crank; when the clutch assembly is in an engaged state, the rotating shaft and the crank form a transmission connection; when the clutch assembly is in a disengaged state, the connection between the rotating shaft and the crank is released;

[0013] A line-releasing switch, which is movably arranged on the reel body and forms a transmission connection with the clutch assembly, and the line-releasing switch can move relative to the reel body to drive the clutch assembly to switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state;

[0014] Also included are:

[0015] The induction component comprises a triggering member and an induction member; the triggering member is movably arranged in the reel body and forms a transmission connection with the line-releasing switch, and the induction member is fixedly arranged in the reel body; the triggering member can change its position state relative to the induction member under the drive of the line-releasing switch.

[0016] Furthermore, the triggering member has at least a distant position state and a close position state relative to the sensing member;

[0017] When the trigger member is in a remote position, the clutch assembly is in an engaged state;

[0018] When the trigger member is in the close position state, the clutch assembly is in a separated state.

[0019] Furthermore, an electric control board is arranged in the wire wheel body, and the induction component is integrated on the electric control board.

[0020] Furthermore, the reel body also includes an electromagnetic brake assembly, which includes a mover magnet and a stator coil. The mover magnet is connected to the rotating shaft, and the stator coil is electrically connected to the electric control board. The electric control board can provide current to the stator coil to generate a magnetic field.

[0021] Furthermore, when the triggering member changes its position relative to the induction member, the induction member can act on the electric control board to change the direction or magnitude of the current provided by the electric control board to the stator coil.

[0022] Furthermore, the sensing element is a Hall element, and the triggering element is a magnetic body.

[0023] Furthermore, the line-releasing switch is connected to a mounting seat, the mounting seat is provided with a mounting groove, and the trigger member is embedded in the mounting groove.

[0024] Furthermore, the mounting seat is provided with two mounting grooves arranged side by side, namely a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove.

[0025] The reason for setting the two mounting grooves is further described. The existing fishing reels include a right-hand wheel and a left-hand wheel, and the main difference between them is whether the setting position of the crank on the reel body is on the right side or on the left side; in the actual structure of the fishing reel, in addition to the difference in the setting position of the crank, there is also a slight difference in the position of the line-releasing switch between the right-hand wheel and the left-hand wheel; therefore, two mounting grooves are provided on the mounting groove; when the structure of the utility model is applied to the right-hand wheel, the trigger member can be installed in the first mounting groove to match the position of the line-releasing switch on the right-hand wheel; when the structure of the utility model is applied to the left-hand wheel, the trigger member can be installed in the second mounting groove to match the position of the line-releasing switch on the left-hand wheel; therefore, the structure of the utility model can be commonly used in left-hand wheels and right-hand wheels, and on the mounting seat, an "R"-shaped texture is recessed above the first mounting groove, and an "L"-shaped texture is recessed above the second mounting groove to facilitate distinction.

[0026] Furthermore, a plug-in rib is protruding from one side of the line-releasing switch, and a plug-in groove is correspondingly provided on the mounting seat. The plug-in rib can be plugged into the plug-in groove to achieve the connection between the line-releasing switch and the mounting seat.

[0027] Furthermore, the reel body includes a main body and a side cover detachably connected to the main body, the line-releasing switch is connected to the main body, the sensing element is arranged in the side cover, and the trigger element is located between the main body and the side cover.

[0028] The state change and induction process of the pay-off switch of the utility model:

[0029] First, before casting the fishing reel, press the line-releasing switch to move it downward relative to the reel body, and the line-releasing switch can drive the clutch assembly to switch from the engaged state to the disengaged state. At the same time, since the triggering member is also switched from the distant position state to the close position state relative to the sensing member, after the sensing member senses the approach of the triggering member, the sensing member controls the electric control board to adjust the current provided to the stator coil, so that the magnetic field generated by the stator coil becomes smaller or even disappears; at this time, the transmission contact between the crank handle and the rotating shaft, and the braking effect of the electromagnetic brake assembly on the rotating shaft also disappears, the rotation of the spool will no longer be affected by the two, and the rotation speed of the spool can be faster and smoother;

[0030] After the casting is completed, turning the handle can make the line-releasing switch move up again, and the clutch assembly can also be restored to the engaged state from the separated state. At this time, turning the handle can drive the spool to rotate, and the upward movement of the line-releasing switch will also drive the trigger member, so that the trigger member will return to the distant position from the close position relative to the sensing member. After the sensing member senses the distance of the trigger member, the sensing member controls the electronic control board to resume providing current to the stator coil, so that the magnetic field of the stator coil becomes larger and returns to the normal state, thereby allowing the electromagnetic brake assembly to resume the braking effect on the rotation of the spool.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0032] 1. A triggering member that can move with the wire-releasing switch and a sensing member that can sense the movement of the triggering member are provided. By sensing the relative position state change between the two, the position state change of the wire-releasing switch can be determined, thereby realizing the inductive monitoring of the wire-releasing switch state;

[0033] 2. An electromagnetic brake component is provided. When the induction component senses that the position state of the trigger component has changed, it can be fed back to the electric control board to change the braking effect of the electromagnetic brake component, thereby realizing that during the process of casting and releasing the fishing line, the spool can be free from the influence of the electromagnetic brake component, ensuring the smooth rotation of the spool during the process of releasing the line;

[0034] 3. Two mounting grooves are provided on the mounting seat for mounting the trigger member, so that the structure of the utility model can be adapted to both the left-hand wheel and the right-hand wheel of the fishing reel, effectively improving the applicability of the structure.

[0062] The state change and induction process of the pay-off switch 6 of this embodiment:

[0063] First, before casting the fishing reel, press the line-releasing switch 6 to move it downward relative to the reel body 1, and the line-releasing switch 6 can drive the clutch assembly 5 to switch from the engaged state to the disengaged state. At the same time, since the trigger member 7 is also switched from the distant position state a to the close position state b relative to the induction member 8, after the induction member 8 senses the approach of the trigger member 7, the induction member 8 controls the electric control board 9 to adjust the current provided to the stator coil 11, so that the magnetic field generated by the stator coil 11 becomes smaller or even disappears; at this time, the transmission contact between the crank handle 4 and the rotating shaft 3, and the braking effect of the electromagnetic brake assembly on the rotating shaft 3 also disappears, the rotation of the spool 2 will no longer be affected by the two, and the rotation speed of the spool 2 can be faster and smoother;
