Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fishing tackle, and in particular, to a variable-light fishline guiding device. Background Art
[0002] In fishing activities, a fishline is an important medium connecting a fisherman and fish. However, since a fishline is usually made of thin and transparent nylon or other synthetic materials, it is very difficult for a fisherman to clearly see the position and state of the fishline in low light or when the line of sight is blocked, which brings certain difficulties and inconveniences to fishing. To solve this problem, various fishline guiding devices have emerged on the market. These devices usually make the fishline more visible in a low-light environment by means of light emission or reflection, thereby improving the fisherman's perception and operation efficiency. Similar products include glow-in-the-dark sinkers, which mainly have two forms: night light and LED light emission. However, both of these are in a continuous light-emitting state during use. When thrown into the water, the light is likely to startle the fish school and affect the fishing experience. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a variable-light fishline guiding device and a control method.
[0003] However, one of the deficiencies in the related prior art is that it is impossible to determine whether to emit light by judging whether it is in water. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the above technical problems.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the first object of the utility model is to provide a variable-light fishline guiding device.
[0006] The second object of the utility model is to provide a control method for a variable-light fishline guiding device.
[0007] To achieve the first object of the utility model, an embodiment of the utility model provides a variable-light fishline guiding device, which includes: a control chip, the control chip includes a capacitance sensing device; a light-emitting device, the light-emitting device is connected to the control chip; a power supply, the power supply is connected to the light-emitting device and the control chip.
[0008] The fishing line is illuminated by a lighting device, which helps the angler clearly see the position of the fishing line in low-light or obstructed vision conditions, thus more accurately controlling the fishing line and monitoring the state of the bait. In the night or very dark environment, the fishing line can be clearly seen, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of night fishing. The capacitance induction device senses the capacitance change of the surrounding environment. When the fishing line guiding device moves from air to water or from water to air, the capacitance induction device senses the capacitance change of the surrounding environment. The control chip makes corresponding operations according to the change and sends corresponding information to the lighting device, and the lighting device determines whether to turn on the light according to the information sent by the control chip. The power supply powers the control chip and the lighting device.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the control chip further includes an oscillator, and the oscillator is connected to the capacitance induction device.
[0010] The combination of the oscillator and the capacitance induction device can achieve high-sensitivity detection of the change in the state of the fishing line. Since the oscillator can generate a stable high-frequency signal, when the state of the fishing line changes, such as entering the water from the air or emerging from the water into the air, it will cause a change in the capacitance value. This change will be immediately reflected in the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator, enabling the device to quickly respond to environmental changes. During fishing, the fishing line may be interfered by various external factors, such as water flow, wind, etc. The combination of the oscillator and the capacitance induction device can effectively filter out these interference signals. Because the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator has a certain stability and regularity, the normal environmental changes and interference signals can be distinguished through algorithms, thus maintaining the stability and accuracy of the device.
[0011] In any of the above technical solutions, the control chip further includes a counter, and the counter is connected to the oscillator.
[0012] By recording the frequency change of the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator, the counter can accurately monitor and record the change in the state of the guiding device. And the counter can convert the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator into a digital signal. Digital signals are less susceptible to noise and interference than analog signals. Therefore, during the transmission and processing of signals, the accuracy is improved. Digital signals are easy to be processed by computer systems and can be conveniently stored, analyzed and subjected to subsequent processing, such as amplification, filtering and other operations. Digital systems are usually easier to debug and maintain than analog systems because the state of digital signals is either high level or low level, and diagnosing problems is relatively simple.
[0013] In any of the above technical solutions, the control chip further includes an amplifier circuit, and the amplifier circuit is connected to the counter.
[0014] The enhanced signal is less vulnerable to external electromagnetic interference, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the system. The amplified signal can be conveniently fed into subsequent digital circuits or processing units for further processing, such as analysis, conversion, or storage. During the amplification process, the effective information in the signal becomes more prominent, while the influence of noise is relatively reduced, contributing to an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. By adjusting the amplification parameters, the amplification circuit can adapt to different application scenarios and meet different power and sensitivity requirements.
[0015] In any of the above technical solutions, the variable-light fishing line guiding device further includes: an induction circuit board, which is connected to the control chip, the light-emitting device, and the power supply.
[0016] The induction range of the capacitance induction device in the control chip is relatively small. By connecting an external induction circuit board, the induction range of the capacitance induction device can be expanded, ensuring that the induction range of the capacitance induction device can break through to the outside of the sealed housing and sense the capacitance changes in the surrounding environment. Connecting the control chip, the light-emitting device, and the power supply to the induction circuit board can make the device more integrated and improve the integrity of the guiding device.
[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the induction circuit board is formed by attaching copper to a flexible circuit board.
[0018] The flexible circuit board is lighter than the traditional rigid circuit board, facilitating installation and use and reducing the overall weight of the device. The flexible circuit board has good bending characteristics and can be deformed according to specific shape and design requirements, making it easy to adapt to different space limitations and layouts. Copper has good electrical conductivity, and using copper material on the circuit board can effectively reduce resistance and improve the conduction efficiency of the circuit. Copper has relatively high strength, enabling the flexible circuit board to maintain good structural stability even under bending or folding conditions. Since the thickness of copper can be relatively thin, the flexible circuit board with attached copper can be more lightweight than the traditional rigid circuit board and is suitable for portable and miniaturized devices.
[0019] In any of the above technical solutions, the variable-light fishing line guiding device further includes: a support structure, which abuts against the induction circuit board and the power supply.
[0020] The support structure provides physical support to ensure that the induction circuit board and the power supply remain stable without being vulnerable to external interference or vibration, enhancing the overall stability of the device. The design of the support structure helps prevent the circuit board and the power supply from shifting or being damaged during use, reducing the risk of short circuits or safety hazards caused by improper fixation. The support structure can assist in heat dissipation, especially under high-load operation, keeping the temperature of the power supply and the circuit board within an acceptable range and extending their service life. A good support structure ensures good electrical contact, reduces contact resistance and electrical losses, and improves the overall efficiency of the circuit. A structure with good support makes installation and maintenance more convenient, enabling quick replacement or repair of the circuit board and the power supply.
[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, the support structure is provided with through holes through which the fishing line passes.
[0022] The through-hole design allows the fishing line to pass through the support structure conveniently, improving the convenience of installation. The through-hole design can avoid direct friction between the fishing line and other components, reducing the risk of wear and breakage of the fishing line and the guiding device and extending its service life.
[0023] In any of the above technical solutions, the variable-light fishing line guiding device further includes: a housing, and the support structure is placed in the housing.
[0024] The housing provides additional structural support, helping to enhance the stability of the support structure and keeping the device safe and secure in various working states. The housing can effectively protect the internal support structure, as well as components such as the circuit board and the power supply, preventing damage caused by external environmental factors such as dust and impact, thereby extending the service life of the device. And since the guiding device often operates in water, a waterproof housing can effectively isolate the water in the surrounding environment and prevent water from entering the device and damaging the electronic components.
[0025] To achieve the second object of the present utility model, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a control method for a variable-light fishing line guiding device, which is used to control the variable-light fishing line guiding device in any of the above technical solutions, and determine whether it changes light according to the position of the variable-light fishing line guiding device. It includes: Step S110: The capacitance sensing device continuously senses the capacitance change that occurs from air to water or from water to air; Step S120: When the capacitance changes, the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes accordingly; Step S130: The counter monitors and records the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator. When the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes, the counter converts the change in the high-frequency signal into a digital signal; Step S140: The amplifier circuit amplifies the digital signal and sends the amplified digital signal to the light-emitting device; Step S140: The light-emitting device determines whether to emit light according to the digital signal.
[0026] The sensitive detection of capacitance changes can provide accurate information, ensuring that the device can accurately identify environmental conditions both in water and in air, and improving the accuracy of judgment. By adopting the capacitance induction method, the structure is relatively simple, facilitating implementation, maintenance and production, and does not have to rely on a complex sensor system. Through the design of an oscillator and a counter, this method can operate under low-power conditions, extending the battery life of the device and being suitable for long-term outdoor use. The amplification circuit can ensure that the strength of the digital signal is sufficient, avoiding misjudgment caused by weak signals and improving the system stability. The lighting device makes a lighting judgment based on the digital signal and can set different lighting modes according to different environments, such as lighting on the water and turning off underwater, or lighting off on the water and turning on underwater, etc. Description of the Drawings

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model, but the utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, the scope of protection of the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a light-changing fishing line guiding device, which is hung on a fishing line for use, and includes: a control chip 10, the control chip 10 includes a capacitive sensing device 11; a light-emitting device 20, the light-emitting device 20 is connected to the control chip 10; a power supply 30, the power supply 30 is connected to the light-emitting device 20 and the control chip 10; an induction circuit board 40, the induction circuit board 40 is connected to the control chip 10, the light-emitting device 20, and the power supply 30, the induction circuit board 40 is attached with a conductive medium, and the induction circuit board 40 is formed by a flexible circuit board attached with copper.
[0038] In this embodiment, the control chip 10 can be PT2043A or other chips of the same type, and the light emitting device 20 can be an LED lamp. The control chip 10 is integrated with a capacitive sensing device 11. Since the sensing range of the capacitive sensing device 11 itself is very small, a capacitive sensing area is formed by attaching copper to a large area on the flexible circuit board, thereby converting the flexible circuit board into a sensing circuit board 40. By connecting the pins of the capacitive sensing device 11 to the sensing circuit board 40, the capacitive sensing range of the capacitive sensing device 11 is expanded to ensure that it can sense the capacitance change of the surrounding environment of the guiding device. The control chip 10 and the light emitting device 20 are both connected to the sensing circuit board 40. The sensing circuit board 40 is provided with two protruding parts, which are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply 30. The power supply 30 can achieve the effect of supplying power to the control chip 10 and the light emitting device 20 through the sensing circuit board 40. When the capacitance sensing device 11 senses a change in the capacitance of the surrounding environment, for example, when the guiding device moves from water to air or from air to water, the control chip 10 will make corresponding processing and send a signal to the light-emitting device 20. After receiving the signal, the light-emitting device 20 makes a judgment and then turns on or off the light. The guiding device can set the output mode before use, setting high level effective or low level effective, correspondingly controlling the lighting device 20 to light up or turn off. In this embodiment, the variable light fishing line guiding device turns off when it enters the water and turns on when it leaves the water.
[0039] like Figure 5As shown, the control chip 10 further includes an oscillator 12, which is connected to the capacitance sensing device 11; the control chip 10 further includes a counter 13, which is connected to the oscillator 12; the control chip 10 further includes an amplifier circuit 14, which is connected to the counter 13.
[0040] In this embodiment, the control chip 10 is also integrated with an oscillator 12, a counter 13, and an amplifier circuit 14. When the guiding device moves from water to air or from air to water, the capacitance received by the induction circuit board 40 will change accordingly. This change will cause the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator 12 to change. The counter 13 will monitor the frequency change of the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator, record these changes, and then convert them into digital signals. The digital signals are amplified by the amplifier circuit 14 to obtain high and low levels at the output end, and finally sent to the lighting device 20. The lighting device 20 determines whether to change the light according to the received signal.
[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the variable light fishing line guiding device further includes: a support structure 100, which abuts against the induction circuit board 40 and the power supply 30; the support structure 100 is provided with a through hole 110, and the fishing line passes through the through hole 110; a housing 200, and the support structure 100 is placed in the housing 200.
[0042] In this embodiment, both the support structure 100 and the housing 200 adopt a semi-transparent structure to ensure that the light from the lighting device 20 can penetrate the support structure 100 and the housing 200 and be seen by the user. The support structure 100 is provided with a cylindrical groove, and the power supply 30 is placed in the cylindrical groove. The inner side of the support structure 100 is also provided with an annular groove, and the induction circuit board 40 is placed in the cylindrical groove, and the cylindrical groove is partially communicated with the cylindrical groove. A hollow cylinder runs through the entire support structure 100 in the middle of the support structure 100. The inner hollow structure of the cylinder is the through hole 110, which is used to pass the fishing line and isolate the fishing line from the internal components. The housing 200 adopts a detachable sleeve structure with waterproof function, which completely wraps the support structure 100, and only the through hole 110 communicates with the outside.
[0043] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a control method for a variable-light fishing line guiding device, which is used to control the variable-light fishing line guiding device as described in any of the above embodiments. According to the position where the variable-light fishing line guiding device is located, it is determined whether it changes light. The control method includes: Step S110: The capacitance sensing device senses in real time the capacitance change that occurs when going from air to water or from water to air; Step S120: When the capacitance changes, the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes accordingly; Step S130: The counter monitors and records the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator. When the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes, the counter converts the change of the high-frequency signal into a digital signal; Step S140: The amplification circuit amplifies the digital signal and sends the amplified digital signal to the lighting device; Step S140: The lighting device determines whether to emit light according to the digital signal.
[0044] In this embodiment, the capacitance sensing device senses in real time the capacitance change that occurs when going from air to water or from water to air. When the capacitance received by the capacitance sensing device changes, the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes accordingly. The counter will monitor and record in real time the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator. When it is monitored that the high-frequency signal generated by the oscillator changes, the counter converts the change of the high-frequency signal into a digital signal, then amplifies it through the amplification circuit and sends it to the lighting device. The lighting device makes a judgment based on the signal to perform the light-emitting operation or the light-extinguishing operation. Before use, the output mode can be set to achieve the effect of turning off the light when entering the water and turning on the light when leaving the water, or turning on the light when entering the water and turning off the light when leaving the water.
