Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fishing devices, specifically relating to a resistance mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional fishing mechanics, when fishing for bottom-dwelling fish, the end weight (usually bait and sinker) needs to reach the bottom. The float uses buoyancy to balance the downward pull of the end weight, while the float tip, with very little buoyancy, remains above the water. When a fish takes the bait with force exceeding the remaining downward pull of the end weight or the resistance from that pull, the float tip will move. The angler then uses this movement to set the hook. To achieve this mechanics, the angler needs to adjust the weight of the end weight and the distance between the float and the end weight according to the water depth. This process is challenging due to uneven water depth and casting accuracy. This difficulty increases further as the fishing spot moves closer to the shore, creating a strong demand for equipment that automatically implements this mechanics.

[0003] Existing devices that allow the end weight to automatically reach the bottom employ the following methods: a delayed magnetic lock to lock the fishing line after water enters the shell and buoyancy changes; a mechanical structure that delays magnetic locking of the fishing line when the end weight reaches the bottom; a movable float that locks the fishing line based on buoyancy changes after the end weight reaches the bottom; or an auxiliary weight placed on the side of the float near the fishing rod. These methods have the following technical drawbacks:

[0004] The delayed locking method is only applicable within a specific water depth range. If the bottom weight has not reached the bottom when the delay ends, the fishing line will be automatically locked and the automatic bottom finding will fail. When the end weight reaches the bottom and the delay has not ended, the automatic bottoming is successfully achieved. The float does not have an upward pulling force on the bottom weight, the fishing line in the water cannot be taut, and the bite signal cannot be effectively transmitted.

[0005] Setting up a movable float tip requires high precision in manufacturing. Because the fishing line is angled after being cast into the water, or the friction caused by insufficient manufacturing precision increases the upward resistance, the float cannot rise effectively. Therefore, under non-extreme conditions, it is difficult to achieve a situation where the end of the weight reaches the bottom and the float tip is exposed above the water.

[0006] The principle behind setting up an auxiliary weight is as follows: the float can slide along the fishing line, and an auxiliary weight that can slide along the line is placed on the side of the float closest to the fishing rod. The weight of the auxiliary weight is insufficient to pull the float underwater. In this structure, the end weight can directly reach the bottom, and the auxiliary weight locks the relative displacement between the float and the end weight when the end weight reaches the bottom. This automatic bottoming method has the following drawbacks: the weight of the end weight needs to be greater than the auxiliary weight, and the auxiliary weight and the end weight have opposite functions, which cannot meet the fishing requirements. The ideal fishing method requires that there is downward pressure at both ends of the float, and that the downward pressure is balanced. This method can partially achieve the traditional fishing mechanics model. However, since both the float and the auxiliary weight are designed to slide, this process is difficult to adjust. Furthermore, there is no obstruction to the movement of the auxiliary weight on the side beyond the fishing rod. During fishing, the auxiliary weight often slides to the bottom, thus breaking the above balance. The downward pressure on the float disappears, and the bite signal cannot be effectively transmitted. At the same time, the float of this type of equipment is generally designed to be spherical, and part of the fishing line needs to pass through the float. When the fish bites, the signal generated by the float is generally a shaking. When waves are generated on the water surface or the fishing area is far away, the float signal is difficult for the angler to capture due to its unique characteristics. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a resistance mechanism that sets resistance for the movement of the float along the fishing line, so as to balance or partially balance the buoyancy of the float and the downward pull of the weight at the end of the fishing line. This enables the weight at the end of the line to automatically reach the bottom from top to bottom. Furthermore, the present invention conforms to the traditional mechanical model of fishing, and the fish's bite signal can be effectively transmitted to the surface for the angler to observe. The present invention eliminates the uncontrollable variables found in existing automatic bottom-reaching devices, and solves the technical problems of low success rate and poor bite signal transmission in existing automatic bottom-reaching devices.

[0008] The specific technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A resistance mechanism is mounted on a fishing line and moves along the line to mount a float and provide resistance to the movement of the float along the fishing line, so as to balance or partially balance the buoyancy of the float and the downward pull of the weight at the end of the fishing line.

[0010] Furthermore, the resistance mechanism is adjustable to control the resistance level of the float as it moves along the fishing line.

[0011] Furthermore, the resistance mechanism includes a main body and a resistance generating device; the float is mounted on the main body; the main body is mounted on the fishing line and has a degree of freedom of movement along the fishing line; the resistance generating device is mounted on the main body and is used to generate resistance to the movement of the main body along the fishing line.

[0012] Furthermore, the resistance generating device provides direct frictional resistance or transmitted resistance between the body portion and the fishing line.

[0013] Furthermore, the resistance generating device provides a transmissive resistance between the main body and the fishing line; the resistance generating device includes a follower block and a braking device; the fishing line contacts the follower block to generate contact friction with the follower block; the follower block follows or partially follows the fishing line; the braking device is used to set the motion resistance of the follower block.

[0014] Furthermore, the resistance generating device provides contact friction between the fishing line and the follower block based on pressure or tension.

[0015] Furthermore, the follower block is in the shape of a reel; the fishing line is wrapped around the radial outer periphery of the follower block to set the tension and / or the contact friction force.

[0016] Furthermore, the resistance generating device includes an array of magnets, and the braking device includes a resistance magnet; the array of magnets is mounted on the follower block, and the resistance magnet is mounted on the main body; the resistance generating device sets the motion resistance based on the positional relationship between the resistance magnet and the array of magnets.

[0017] Furthermore, the arrangement, position, and / or magnetic pole orientation of the array magnets are adjustable; the resistance mechanism adjusts the resistance method and / or resistance magnitude based on adjusting the arrangement, position, and / or magnetic pole orientation of the array magnets.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects that this utility model can bring are as follows:

[0020] This invention incorporates resistance to the movement of the float along the fishing line, balancing or partially balancing the buoyancy of the float and the downward pull of the weight at the end of the fishing line. This allows the weight to automatically reach the bottom from top to bottom. Furthermore, this invention conforms to traditional fishing mechanics, effectively transmitting fish bite signals to the surface for the angler to observe. This invention eliminates the uncontrollable variables present in existing automatic bottom-reaching devices, solving the technical problems of low success rates and poor bite signal transmission in current automatic bottom-reaching devices.

[0021] The resistance mechanism of this utility model is adjustable, allowing anglers to choose and match different types of floats to meet different fishing needs. At the same time, this utility model can lock the float on different areas of the fishing line after adjusting the resistance, so as to fish at different water depths.

[0022] When the resistance mechanism of this utility model adopts direct friction resistance, the equipment is easy to implement and has low cost. When the transmission friction resistance is selected, the equipment is easy to process and the variable control effect is precise.

[0023] If this utility model uses the transmission of frictional resistance, it avoids the influence of variables such as the thickness and curvature of the fishing line on the overall mechanical model.

[0024] If the present invention adopts a non-contact method to set the resistance, it further avoids the influence of variables such as the bending of the fishing line on the overall mechanical model, and at the same time, the resistance setting is more precise.

[0037] It should also be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this disclosure. The drawings only show the components related to this disclosure and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0038] Additionally, in the following description, specific details are provided to provide a thorough understanding of the examples. However, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the aspects described may be practiced without these specific details.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, a resistance mechanism is provided. The resistance mechanism is installed on the fishing line and moves along the fishing line. It is used to install a float and set resistance for the movement of the float along the fishing line, so as to balance or partially balance the buoyancy of the float and the downward pull of the weight at the end of the fishing line.

[0040] This embodiment provides a mechanical model of the relationship between a float, a fishing line, and a weight (usually a sinker, hook, bait, or other material that needs to be attached to this end) at the end of the fishing line (the end of the fishing line away from the angler).

[0041] In the traditional fishing mechanics model, taking platform fishing as an example, the angler needs to adjust the balance between the end weight and the float (a type of float) so that after the end weight reaches the desired fishing depth, part of the float (usually the float tip with the least buoyancy, referred to as the float tip below) floats to the surface. When fish or other aquatic creatures (hereinafter referred to as fish) take the bait, the existing balance between the float and the end weight is broken, and the float moves. The angler determines whether the fish has finished taking the bait based on the movement of the float tip, and then chooses the right time to lift the rod. If the float is completely submerged in the water, the angler cannot see the above movement.

[0042] When anglers need to lure bottom-feeding fish, at least part of the end weight needs to be adjusted so that it reaches the bottom while the float tip is above the water. This ensures that bottom-feeding fish are feeding on the bait and that the angler can detect any movement of the float. In existing platform fishing models, the float seat is threaded onto the fishing line and there is significant friction between them. The float itself cannot move the float seat along the fishing line. To lure bottom-feeding fish, anglers need to adjust the distance between the float seat and the end weight so that the float tip is above the water as needed (this is called "finding the bottom"). In natural fishing environments... The varying depths of the water, influenced by underwater features such as unevenness, ledges, slopes, and structural elements, mean that when anglers adjust the float using the methods described above, it generally only applies to fishing within a specific area. When casting the weight to other areas, the bottom-finding process will likely need to be repeated. This is especially true when using long-distance casting to fish for bottom-dwelling fish. The distance between the target area and the shore makes casting difficult, and environmental factors like wind and the angler's casting force further complicate matters. The further the distance, the harder it is to control the landing point, making bottom-finding extremely challenging. This is why anglers cannot handle excessively long rods or long-distance casting rods. Furthermore, even if the initial bottom-finding is successful, changes in the casting point can cause the distance between the float and the weight to become insufficient to meet the water depth requirements, leading to the failure of the bottom-finding process.

[0043] The more the float is submerged in water, the greater the buoyancy. When the resistance set by the drag mechanism is less than the downward pull of the end weight, the end weight can sink to the bottom, regardless of water depth. When the resistance is less than the downward pull of the end weight and less than the buoyancy of the float, the end weight can sink to the bottom while part of the float remains above the surface; this process is also independent of water depth, and the float signal can be observed. Using the drag mechanism of this invention, anglers can set the specific resistance in non-fishing areas or near the shore and then attract bottom-dwelling fish without needing to perform bottom-finding operations, greatly reducing the difficulty of fishing. Furthermore, the drag mechanism of this embodiment can adapt to different fishing methods, specifically by selecting the float, adjusting the weight of the weight, and adjusting the aforementioned resistance.

[0044] In some embodiments, anglers can adjust the weight of the object, the buoyancy of the float, or select a float and adjust the resistance based on the resistance mechanism to change the fishing depth or fishing method according to their fishing needs.

[0045] In some embodiments, the resistance mechanism sets resistance to the movement of the float along the fishing line in ways including but not limited to: using elastic or inelastic devices to set friction, or using permanent or electromagnetic brakes.

[0046] The resistance mechanism can be a friction plate, a friction disc, a tension mechanism, a follower device, or any combination thereof.

[0047] In some embodiments, the float in this embodiment may be configured as an integral structure with the drag mechanism.

[0048] In some embodiments, the resistance mechanism is adjustable to control the movement of the float along the fishing line. Considering the varying resistance requirements due to changes in line diameter, end weight, and float buoyancy, a single resistance structure can accommodate these different needs. Adjustments to the resistance include, but are not limited to, changing the magnitude of friction or the magnitude of the magnetic brake.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the resistance generating device 4 provides direct frictional resistance or transmitted frictional resistance between the main body 1 and the fishing line. The method of setting the transmitted frictional resistance includes setting a follower that moves with the fishing line and setting resistance for the follower's movement. Since the diameter of the fishing line is generally less than 1mm, the direct frictional resistance will be uneven if the fishing line is curled, knotted, or has an inconsistent diameter. Setting the corresponding resistance as transmitted frictional resistance can avoid this defect.

[0050] In some embodiments, the magnitude of direct frictional resistance or transmissive frictional resistance can be adjusted; the adjustment methods for direct frictional resistance include changing the clamping force, changing the friction area, changing the pressure of the friction material, etc., while the adjustment methods for transmissive frictional resistance include changing the clamping force, friction area, pressure of the friction material, or non-contact resistance acting on the follower, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the resistance generating device 4 provides transmitted resistance between the main body 1 and the fishing line; the resistance generating device 4 includes a follower block 5; the fishing line contacts the follower block 5 to generate contact friction with the follower block 5; the follower block 5 follows or semi-follows the fishing line. The follower block 5 moves axially relative to the fishing line to generate cyclic or reciprocating motions such as rotation, and the magnitude of the transmitted friction resistance can be adjusted by changing the motion resistance of the follower block 5 itself.

[0052] In some embodiments, the resistance generating device 4 provides contact friction between the fishing line and the follower reel based on pressure or tension to ensure the effect of the follower motion.

[0053] In some embodiments, the braking device 7 is used to adjust the resistance of the friction discs. The number of friction discs is one or more, and the resistance is adjusted by changing the clamping degree between the friction discs or adjusting the contact length between the fishing line and the friction discs. The number of friction discs is set according to the resistance requirements. Two friction discs can be used for clamping, or other components can be used to press the fishing line tightly against a single friction disc. The friction force of the friction discs can also be set to be adjustable by the angler to adapt to floats or end weights with different buoyancy, in accordance with the aforementioned mechanical model. The friction discs can exist independently as the aforementioned direct friction resistance, or resistance can be set for the rotation of the friction discs to achieve the aforementioned transmitted friction resistance.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the follower block 5 is in the shape of a reel; the fishing line is wrapped around the radial outer circumference of the follower block 5 to set tension and / or contact friction. The follower block 5 is set in the shape of a reel to rotate and follow the fishing line in a circular manner. After the fishing line is wrapped around the follower block 5, tension and contact friction are generated. The number of wraps can be set according to the needs and may not be less than one wrap.

[0055] In some embodiments, the follower block 5 is in the shape of a reel, and the fishing line only contacts a portion of the follower block 5. At the same time, other devices are used to press the fishing line onto the follower block 5 to ensure contact friction.

[0056] In some embodiments, the resistance generating device 4 further includes a driven block 6, which clamps the fishing line between the driven block 6 and the follower block 5 to provide pressure. The driven block 6 presses the fishing line against the follower block 5 to increase the friction between the fishing line and the follower block 5. Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5. In some embodiments, as... Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the outer periphery of the follower block 5 and the driven block 6 of the reel are set as mutually meshing gear structures. The gear part of the follower block 6 has a line-accommodating groove, and the follower block is made of soft material, which ensures the clamping force on the fishing line while avoiding the line jamming and causing the follower reel to be unable to rotate.

[0057] In some embodiments, the resistance generating device 4 includes an array of magnets 8, and the braking device 7 includes a resistance magnet 9; the array of magnets 8 is mounted on the follower block 5, and the resistance magnet 9 is mounted on the main body part 1; the resistance generating device 4 sets the motion resistance based on the positional relationship between the resistance magnet 9 and the array of magnets 8.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the resistance magnet 9 is provided with a movement amount that adjusts the distance between itself and the follower block 5, and is provided on the body part 1 in a threaded or other retractable manner.

[0059] The closer the magnetic poles of a magnet are, the stronger the interaction force. This invention adopts the principle of like poles repelling and unlike poles attracting. A resistance magnet 9 is set outside the array magnet 8. The closer the resistance magnet 9 is to the array magnet 8, the greater its influence on the rotation of the follower block 5. Thus, different resistances are set for the follower block 5's motion.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the main body of the follower block 5 is disc-shaped and has at least one mounting slot 10 for mounting the array magnet 8. The array magnet 8 is at least one, so as to generate an interaction force with the drag magnet 9. When there is only one array magnet 8, it needs to be eccentrically mounted on the follower block 5. The closer the drag magnet 9 is to the array magnet 8, the greater the braking force on the follower block 5, and vice versa. Using one magnet as the array magnet 8, without setting other braking devices 7, the braking force mainly occurs during the rotation of the follower block 5, within the angle range where the array magnet 8 and the drag magnet 9 are closest. When the follower block 5 rotates to other angles, the interaction force between the two magnets is small. At this time, if the fish eats the bait, the downward pull on the float decreases, and the float will generate an upward signal. If the fish eats the bait, the downward pull on the float increases, and the float will generate a jogging signal within a certain range. If the fish eats the bait multiple times and does not completely inhale the bait, the downward pull on the float will sometimes increase and sometimes decrease, and the upward movement of the float will increase within a certain range. The upward signal is generated normally and the jogging signal is strengthened.

[0061] When the number of magnets in the array magnet 8 is set to one or more, and the magnets in the array magnet 8 are arranged in a relative, centrally symmetrical, or non-centrally symmetrical manner, the main force range of the drag magnet 9 on the array magnet 8, that is, the angle of the main force on the follower block 5, can be changed. At the same time, changing the magnetic pole arrangement of the array magnet 8 can change the magnitude of the force, the range of the force, and the form of the floating and jogging signals of the float.

[0062] If the number of magnets in the entire column is set to two and they are arranged relative to each other based on the center of the follower wheel, and the magnetic pole directions of the two magnets are set to be opposite or opposite, then the above-mentioned buoyancy signal and jogging signal will be different; when the distances of the two magnets from the center of the follower wheel are not the same, the buoyancy signal and jogging signal will also be different.

[0063] Meanwhile, when at least two magnets in the array magnet 8 are within the range that can generate interaction forces, the following effects can be produced depending on the arrangement or the direction of the magnetic poles: increasing the resistance of the main resistance range and adjusting the distribution of the resistance range; the present invention sets different arrangement methods, arrangement positions or magnetic pole directions of the array magnet 8, which can facilitate the setting of the required bait signal display effect or anti-interference method for different types of floats, floats with different buoyancy, different fishing environments, and different types of fish.

[0064] In some embodiments, the arrangement, position, and / or orientation of the array magnets 8 are adjustable, so that anglers can adopt different strategies for different floats, different fishing environments, and different types of fish, so that the float can generate the required bite signal and anti-interference method.

[0065] In some embodiments, the resistance mechanism adjusts the resistance method and / or resistance magnitude based on the adjustment arrangement, position, and / or magnetic pole direction.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the distance between the resistance magnet 9 and the array magnet 8 is adjustable, so that the angler can adjust the magnitude or mode of the force exerted by the resistance magnet 9 on the array magnet 8 after the array magnet 8 is set.

[0067] In some embodiments, the resistance magnet 9 is connected to the body portion 1 via a threaded structure to adjust the distance between the resistance magnet 9 and the array magnet 8.

[0068] In some embodiments, the follower block 5 is provided with two or more mounting slots 10 arranged symmetrically around the center of the follower block 5. The mounting slots 10 are used to mount the array magnets 8. When the magnetic poles of adjacent array magnets 8 are arranged in opposite directions, the drag magnet 9 will generate a stronger force to make the follower block 5 rotate to the direction of the array magnets 8 opposite to the magnetic poles of the drag magnet 9. This can enhance the potential energy of the follower block 5 rotating to this opposite magnetic pole. Anglers or designers can increase the drag to accommodate floats with greater buoyancy according to this potential energy setting method, or reduce the size of the follower block 5, or change the way the float responds to the fish's bite signal.

[0069] A typical float consists of a stem, body, and tip, all of the same diameter. The stem is used to connect the fishing line. The body is the largest part and is used to provide buoyancy to balance or partially balance the weight at the end. The tip, being thinner, provides less buoyancy and therefore remains above the water to create an observable signal when fish take the bait.

[0070] In this embodiment, the float can be integrally formed with the main body 1 or it can be disposed separately. In a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the main body 1 is equipped with a detachable device that can be used to install different floats, which allows anglers to choose the appropriate float according to their needs to achieve the corresponding environmental resistance, sensitivity, etc.

[0071] In some embodiments, the removable device includes a mounting bolt and a float seat; the mounting bolt detachably mounts the float seat onto the body portion 1 and is provided with a mounting groove 10; the float seat supports the installation of various types of floats. When it is necessary to install a skid float, the skid float can be installed onto the body portion 1 by passing the mounting bolt through the bottom hole of the skid float.

[0072] In some embodiments, the drag mechanism is designed with a center of gravity optimized to minimize friction between the fishing line and the main body 1 when the fishing line reaches the bottom perpendicular to the horizontal plane, while ensuring that the float is parallel to or on the same straight line as the fishing line. In some embodiments, the above requirements can be achieved by providing a mounting groove 10 that allows the bottom of the float or the float seat to rotate at a certain angle. At the same time, the drag mechanism is designed with overall density optimization to minimize buoyancy or sinking force underwater.

[0073] In some embodiments, the radial outer periphery of the follower reel is provided with a line groove to prevent the fishing line from slipping off the follower reel.

[0074] In some embodiments, the line groove is provided with protrusions and recesses to increase the friction between the fishing line and the reel.

[0075] In some embodiments, the resistance mechanism further includes a guide inlet 2 and / or a guide outlet 3 mounted on the body portion 1 or the resistance generating device 4; the guide inlet 2 adjusts the position of the fishing line at the resistance generating device 4; the guide outlet 3 adjusts the position of the fishing line leaving the resistance generating device 4 or the body portion 1. The guide inlet 2 and guide outlet 3 are provided to change the angle at which the fishing line enters and exits the resistance mechanism, avoiding variable friction caused by the angle of the fishing line or the fishing line failing to properly engage with the resistance generating device 4. Both the guide inlet 2 and guide outlet 3 can be located on the body portion 1 or the resistance generating device 4.

[0076] In some embodiments, a water-absorbing and expanding through-hole is provided at the guide inlet 2 or guide outlet 3, and the expansion locking time is set to a duration sufficient for the end weight to reach the bottom of the water, so that the fishing process is completely equivalent to the traditional fishing mechanics model while ensuring automatic bottoming. The water-absorbing and expanding through-hole can be used for real-time connection during fishing.

[0077] The angler's operating procedure is as follows:

[0078] Select a suitable float, connect the float to the main body 1 of the resistance mechanism, pass the fishing line through the guide inlet 2 and the guide outlet 3, and wind the fishing line around the follower block 5 or clamp the fishing line on the follower block 5 based on the follower block 6.

[0079] Wrap or partially wrap the fishing line around the follower block 5;

[0080] Cast the float into the near-shore water and observe the first water volume of the float when the end weight pulls on the float. If necessary, adjust the mass of the end weight until the first water volume of the float reaches the required level.

[0081] Release the lock on the follower block 5 and adjust the brake device 7 so that the end weight can reach the bottom of the water and the second water entry range of the float reaches the required level; when the array magnet 8 is set, the movement pattern of the float can be observed during the descent of the end weight.

[0082] Locking brake device 7;

[0083] The setup process is now complete. Anglers can cast the end weight to any fishing area, and the end weight will reach the bottom, with the float displaying the second water inflow range.

[0084] In some embodiments, the angler adjusts the brake device 7 near the shore according to the buoyancy of the float and the weight of the object at the end, so that the float tip is exposed above the water. Locking the brake device 7 will enable the float tip to also be exposed above the water when casting to the far shore. If the water-absorbing and expanding hole is not used, the angler can observe the shaking or jumping of the float tip when it sinks near the shore to determine the effective signal of taking the bait.

[0085] Definition of terms: In the above embodiments, "float" refers to a "buoyancy generating device" that can provide buoyancy to the end weight, and is generally equipped with a display component (such as the "tip" of a float) that can alert the float to its movement.

[0086] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
