Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing gear, and more specifically, to a rod plug locking device. Background Technology

[0002] The rod end cap is a component on a fishing rod, mainly located at the front end. It is used to secure the fishing line and enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the rod.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN217826436U discloses a fishing rod winder with a plug, comprising: a fishing rod collar with a through hole; a plug block fixedly connected to one end of the through hole; and a winding assembly fixedly connected to the fishing rod collar. The winder is fitted onto one end of the retracted fishing rod through the through hole in the fishing rod collar, forming a plug. The fishing rod sealer, with its line winding assembly, allows for easy winding and storage of the fishing line. This integrated design saves space and avoids the problem of forgetting the line when stored separately. Several slots on the inner wall of the through-hole allow the rod swivel to adapt to rods of various thicknesses. When the swivel contacts the rod, the slots adjust their position according to the rod's thickness to accommodate different rod sizes.

[0004] In the above structure, the rod collar is designed to fit various rod sizes by shrinking the connecting groove. However, the shrinking of the connecting groove only allows the rod collar to fit rods with a diameter greater than or equal to the diameter of the through hole. When the diameter of the rod is smaller than the diameter of the through hole, the rod collar cannot fit and is likely to fall off the rod. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rod cap locking device. This invention utilizes a deformation groove located between the first and second take-up blocks. When binding and winding the fishing line, tightening the line pulls the first and second take-up blocks closer together, causing the deformation groove to tighten. This allows the cap to adapt to rods with a diameter slightly smaller than the slot diameter. Furthermore, when the rod diameter is slightly larger than the slot diameter, the rod can expand the deformation groove, allowing the cap to clamp and fix itself to the rod. This achieves the goal of the cap adapting to rods with diameters slightly smaller or larger than the slot.

[0006] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0007] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, some embodiments of this application provide a rod plug locking device, including:

[0008] A plug sleeve, fitted onto a fishing rod, has a slot for inserting the fishing rod.

[0009] The rod plug locking device also includes:

[0010] The first take-up block is located on the end sleeve and on the side wall of the end sleeve;

[0011] The second take-up block is located on the end cap and is situated on one side of the first take-up block;

[0012] The plug sleeve has a deformation groove; the deformation groove extends along the height direction of the plug sleeve and penetrates the plug sleeve at least downward; the deformation groove is located between the first take-up block and the second take-up block; the deformation groove is connected to the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, a first take-up groove is formed on the first take-up block; a second take-up groove is formed on the second take-up block;

[0014] The first take-up slot is connected to the second take-up slot.

[0015] Furthermore, the first take-up groove and the second take-up groove are located on both sides of the plug sleeve.

[0016] Furthermore, the first take-up groove and the second take-up groove extend downward through the first take-up block and the second take-up block, respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, the deformation groove extends upwards through the plug sleeve.

[0018] Furthermore, the first take-up groove includes:

[0019] The tightening zone is constructed in the shape of a long strip and is located on the side wall of the first take-up block;

[0020] The connected region is constructed in the shape of a quadrant arc, located above the tightened region, and connected to the tightened region.

[0021] The second take-up groove is symmetrically arranged with the first take-up groove.

[0022] Furthermore, there is a gap between the first take-up block and the second take-up block, which forms a storage space.

[0023] Furthermore, both the first take-up block and the second take-up block have anti-rotation surfaces on their side walls;

[0024] The anti-rotation surface is a plane.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. By positioning the first and second take-up blocks on either side of the deformation groove, the fishing line can be stretched taut in the deformation groove when it is tied and wound around the first and second take-up blocks. This allows the plug to be clamped and fixed onto the tail rod, enabling the plug to adapt to tail rods with smaller diameters. Furthermore, when a tail rod with a larger diameter is fitted into the plug, the tail rod expands the deformation groove, allowing the plug to also adapt to tail rods with larger diameters, thus increasing the adaptability of the tail rod.

[0027] 2. The design of the first and second line take-up grooves allows the fishing line to be taken in after winding without being exposed, thus preventing the fishing line from touching the ground or other surfaces and causing wear and tear, and extending the service life of the fishing line.

[0028] 3. By designing storage space, fishing floats and other items on the fishing line can be embedded in the storage space when the fishing line is wound and stored, forming a protective space to prevent the fishing floats from being damaged by collision.

[0029] 4. By setting the anti-rotation surface, after the plug sleeve is put on the tail rod, the anti-rotation surface is in contact with the ground to prevent the tail rod from rolling due to uneven ground.

[0030] 5. The deformation groove extends upwards, allowing the fishing line to be pulled out directly from the groove when it is pulled out and stored, without having to be folded down between the tail rod and the plug. This effectively avoids wear and tear on the opening of the fishing line and tail rod, thus extending the service life of the fishing line. Attached Figure Description

[0044] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-3 A rod stopper locking device 100 includes: a stopper sleeve 101, a first take-up block 102, and a second take-up block 103; the stopper sleeve 101 is generally cylindrical, and a slot 101a for inserting the tip of a fishing rod is provided inside the stopper sleeve 101; a deformation groove 101b is provided on the side wall of the stopper sleeve 101, the deformation groove 101b is elongated and extends downward along the height direction of the stopper sleeve 101, at least penetrating the stopper sleeve 101 downward, and the deformation groove 101b communicates with the slot 101a; the first take-up block 102 is integrally formed on the side wall of the stopper sleeve 101; the second take-up block 103 is integrally formed on the side wall of the stopper sleeve 101, located on one side of the first take-up block 102, and the deformation groove 101b is located between the first take-up block 102 and the second take-up block 103.

[0046] When using the rod stopper locking device 100, the user retracts the entire fishing rod into the tail rod, then puts the stopper 101 onto the end of the tail rod, then pulls out the fishing line and winds it around the first reel block 102 and the second reel block 103 to store and organize the fishing line, thus improving safety.

[0047] When the fishing line is wrapped around the first reel block 102 and the second reel block 103, the user pulls the fishing line tightly. The first reel block 102 and the second reel block 103 are pulled closer by the tension of the fishing line, which causes the deformation groove 101b to shrink, so that the plug 101 is tightly attached to the tail rod and clamps the tail rod.

[0048] By setting the deformation groove 101b, the plug sleeve 101 can be adapted to fishing rods with a tail rod diameter within a certain range. The diameter of the slot 101a is 10mm, and the diameter of the tail rod is 11mm. Through the expansion of the deformation groove 101b, the tail rod can also be inserted into the slot 101a.

[0049] By winding and tightening the plug sleeve 101 with fishing line, the plug sleeve 101 can be adapted to fishing rods with a tail rod diameter within a certain range, such as the diameter of the slot 101a being 10mm and the diameter of the tail rod being 9mm. Through the tightening of the deformation groove 101b, the plug sleeve 101 can also be clamped and fixed on the tail rod, greatly improving the adaptability of the plug sleeve 101.

[0050] A first take-up groove 102a and a second take-up groove 103a are respectively provided on the first take-up block 102 and the second take-up block 103. The first take-up groove 102a is located on the side of the first take-up block 102 away from the second take-up block 103. The first take-up groove 102a is composed of a tightening area 102b and a connecting area 102c. The tightening area 102b is constructed in the shape of a vertical strip, and the lower end of the tightening area 102b penetrates downward through the first take-up block 102. The connecting area 102c is constructed in the shape of a quadrant arc, located at the upper end of the tightening area 102b, and communicates with the tightening area 102b. The second take-up groove 103a is symmetrically arranged with the first take-up groove 102a. The connecting area 102c of the second take-up groove 103a communicates with the upper connecting area 102c of the first take-up groove 102a.

[0051] After the fishing line is wound into the first take-up groove 102a and the second take-up groove 103a, the fishing line can be hidden inside the first take-up block 102 and the second take-up block 103 because the first take-up groove 102a and the second take-up groove 103a are concave. This makes it less likely for the fishing line to touch the ground or other places after it is stored, and can effectively prevent the fishing line from being worn after being wound.

[0052] The deformation groove 101b extends upward through the plug 101 so that the fishing line on the fishing rod can be pulled out from the upper end of the deformation groove 101b.

[0053] After the fishing line is pulled out from the upper end of the deformation groove 101b, it can be directly wound around the first take-up block 102 and the second take-up block 103. This makes it easier to wind the fishing line and also extends the service life of the fishing line. If the deformation groove 101b does not pass through the plug 101 upwards, the fishing line needs to be pulled down and pressed against the outer wall of the tail rod when winding the fishing line. Then the plug 101 is put on the tail rod. However, this operation will cause the opening of the tail rod and the opening of the slot 101a to fold and press the fishing line. After the fishing line is folded multiple times, the strength of the fishing line will be reduced and it will be easy to break. In addition, the fishing line will rub against the opening of the slot 101a and the opening of the tail rod, resulting in wear of the fishing line.

[0054] There is a gap between the first take-up block 102 and the second take-up block 103, which forms a storage space 102d for storing fishing floats and other items on the fishing line.

[0055] Fishing floats and other items on the fishing line can be moved and stored in the storage space 102d after the fishing line is tangled. This storage space protects the floats, preventing them from being exposed and worn out due to collisions.

[0056] Both the first take-up block 102 and the second take-up block 103 have an anti-rotation surface 102e, which is a plane and is located on the side of the first take-up block 102 and the second take-up block 103 away from the plug sleeve 101.

[0057] After the plug 101 is put onto the tail rod, since the tail rod is a cylinder, it is easy to roll when placed on uneven surfaces such as slopes. However, by placing the anti-rotation surface 102e downwards in contact with the ground, the rolling of the fishing rod can be effectively prevented.

[0058] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure.
