[0028] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an adjustable fishing reel rocker arm, including a rocker arm body 1 and a handle 2. The handle 2 is connected to the rocker arm body 1 through a transmission device. It also includes a main shaft 3 and an adjustment component 4. The main shaft 3 is connected to the rocker arm body 1, and the adjustment component 4 is connected to the main shaft 3. The adjustment component 4 includes a drive part 5 and a rotating part 6. The drive part 5 drives the rotating part 6 to move axially.

[0030] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to adjust. Through the adjustment component 4 connected to the main shaft 3, the drive unit 5 can drive the rotating unit 6 to move axially and adjust the installation distance of the rocker arm. This allows for adjustment of the installation spacing of the main shaft at the rocker arm mounting end, making it compatible with various fishing reels of different specifications. This improves the versatility of the rocker arm and eliminates the need for different rocker arms. One rocker arm can be used for different models of fishing reels.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, one end of the rocker arm body 1 is connected to the handle 2 through a transmission device. The fishing reel rocker arm is used by rotating the handle 2. The other end of the rocker arm body 1 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 3. The main shaft 3 moves synchronously with the rocker arm body 1 and can rotate with the rocker arm body 1.

[0032] The transmission device is an existing technology in the field. Operators can select it according to their needs. The transmission device can be composed of a transmission shaft, transmission bearings and other structures. The transmission device acts as a joint to connect the rocker arm body 1 and the handle 2. The winding and unwinding of the line can be performed by rotating the handle 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the spindle 3 is provided with an adjusting thread, which is located on the outer circumference of the spindle 3. The rotating part 6 is connected to the spindle 3 by a thread, and the driving part 5 is movably connected to the spindle 3.

[0034] Specifically, the main shaft 3 is a round rod-shaped structure with an adjusting thread on its outer circumference, and the main shaft 3 is a stepped shaft structure with a progressively changing diameter. The small diameter end of the main shaft 3 is used to connect with the main body structure of the fishing reel, and the large diameter end of the main shaft 3 is connected to the rocker arm body 1. The adjusting component 4 is sleeved on the main shaft 3 and can be axially adjusted and moved on the main shaft 3 to adjust the spacing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the large-diameter end of the spindle 3 is provided with a connecting hole 31 that extends radially through it. A connecting pin 7 is provided in the connecting hole 31. The end of the rocker arm body 1 is provided with a second connecting hole 11 that is adapted to the connecting pin 7. The dimensions of the connecting hole 31, the connecting pin 7 and the second connecting hole 11 are all adapted. The end of the connecting pin 7 passes through the connecting hole 31 and connects with the second connecting hole 11 of the rocker arm body 1, thereby fixing the spindle 3 and the rocker arm body 1 together through the connecting pin 7. The installation is convenient and the connection is stable.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the axial length of the connecting pin 7 is adapted to the outer diameter of the end of the rocker arm body 1, ensuring a stable connection between the main shaft 3 and the rocker arm body 1.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment component 4 is disposed on the outer periphery of the main shaft 3, the rotating part 6 is disposed on the inner end, and the driving part 5 is disposed on the outer end. The driving part 5 can drive the rotating part 6 to move axially on the main shaft 3.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the rotating part 6 is provided with a rotating disk 61. The rotating disk 61 is a disc-shaped structure with a through hole in the middle. The rotating disk 61 is sleeved on the main shaft 3 and is arranged perpendicular to the main shaft 3. The inner circumference of the through hole of the rotating disk 61 is provided with a connecting thread. The rotating disk 61 is threadedly connected to the main shaft 3, so that under external drive, the rotating disk 61 can move axially along the main shaft 3, thereby adjusting the installation distance of the main shaft 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rotating disk 61 is provided with an adjustment connection part, and the driving part 5 is provided with an adjustment mating part adapted to and connected to the adjustment connection part. The rotating disk 61 is detachably connected to the driving part 5 through the adjustment connection part.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment connection part is provided with adjustment holes 62. The adjustment holes 62 are provided on the side of the rotating disk 61 near the drive part 5. There are two adjustment holes 62, both of which are arranged along the axial direction of the rotating disk 61. The two adjustment holes 62 are arranged opposite each other on the same radial circumferential side of the rotating disk 61. The rotating disk 61 is connected to the adjustment mating part of the drive part 5 through the adjustment holes 62.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the drive unit 5 is provided with an adjustment knob 51, which has a through hole for connecting the main shaft 3, and the end of the adjustment knob 51 is connected to the rotating disk 61.

[0042] The adjustment knob 51 is an adjustment cam structure with a circular cross section. The adjustment knob 51 is located on the outer periphery of the main shaft 3 and the diameter of the through hole inside the adjustment knob 51 is larger than the outer diameter of the main shaft 3, so that the adjustment knob 51 can pass through the end of the main shaft 3 and connect to the inner rotating disk 61.

[0043] In this embodiment, the adjustment fitting part is located at the end of the adjustment knob 51. The adjustment fitting part is provided with an adjustment block 52. The adjustment block 52 is a cylindrical structure, and there are two adjustment blocks 52. Both of them extend outward along the axial direction of the adjustment knob 51. The adjustment block 52 is adapted to the adjustment hole 62 on the rotating disk 61. The adjustment block 52 can be inserted into the adjustment hole 62. The adjustment knob 51 is connected to the adjustment hole 62 on the rotating disk 61 through the adjustment block 52. The adjustment knob 51 and the rotating disk 61 move synchronously. When it is necessary to adjust the rocker arm distance, the adjustment knob 51 is installed, and then the adjustment knob 51 is rotated to synchronously drive the rotating disk 61 to rotate, thereby adjusting its axial position on the main shaft 3.

[0044] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the adjustment knob 51 is provided with an adjustment thread 53. By setting the adjustment thread 53, the friction is increased, making it easier to rotate the adjustment knob 51 for adjustment.

[0045] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the size and number of the adjustment blocks 52 provided on the adjustment knob 51 are adapted to the adjustment holes 62 of the rotating disk 61, and the connection relationship between the adjustment knob 51 and the rotating disk 61 can be adapted and adjusted according to actual usage requirements.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the rocker arm body 1 is connected to the end of the rocker arm sleeve 8, which is fixedly connected to the rocker arm body 1. The rocker arm sleeve 8 is located on the outer periphery of the main shaft 3, and the rotating disk 61 is located on the inner side of the rocker arm sleeve 8.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rocker arm sleeve 8 is a circular sleeve structure with a hollow interior. An annular connecting part 81 is provided on the inner circumference of the rocker arm sleeve 8. The annular connecting part 81 is provided with a mounting hole. The annular connecting part 81 is fixedly connected to the rocker arm body 1 by connecting screws 9.

[0048] Moreover, in this embodiment, the end of the rocker arm sleeve 8 is tightly connected to the rocker arm body 1 without any gaps, thereby avoiding the gaps between the rocker arm sleeve 8 and the rocker arm body 1 during installation or adjustment. This not only affects the external aesthetics of the fishing reel, but also allows impurities or seawater to easily enter the rocker arm through the gaps, affecting its service life.

[0049] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the end of the adjusting knob 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the rocker arm sleeve 8, so as to achieve convenient installation and adjustment.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the rocker arm body 1 is connected to an elastic snap-fit ​​member 10, and the inner circumferential side of the rocker arm sleeve 8 is provided with a snap-fit ​​mating part adapted to and connected to the elastic snap-fit ​​member 10. The rocker arm sleeve 8 is snap-fitted to the end of the rocker arm body 1 through the elastic snap-fit ​​member 10.

[0051] The elastic snap-fit ​​component 10 is disposed in the second connecting hole 11 of the rocker arm body 1, and is disposed at the end of the connecting pin 7 in the second connecting hole 11. At this time, the axial length of the connecting pin 7 is less than the outer diameter of the end of the rocker arm body 1 and greater than the outer diameter of the end of the spindle 3, thereby ensuring that the connecting pin 7 provides installation space for the elastic snap-fit ​​component 10 when connecting the spindle 3 and the rocker arm body 1.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, the elastic snap-fit ​​component 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​spring 101 and a snap-fit ​​ball 102. The snap-fit ​​ball 102 snaps into the end of the second connecting hole 11. The snap-fit ​​spring 101 is disposed between the end of the connecting pin 7 and the snap-fit ​​ball 102. The diameter of the snap-fit ​​ball 102 is adapted to the diameter of the second connecting hole 11. The outer end of the second connecting hole 11 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the snap-fit ​​ball 102, so that the snap-fit ​​ball 102 can snap into the end of the second connecting hole 11 and protrude a distance smaller than its radius. The inner circumference of the rocker arm sleeve 8 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, which is adapted to the snap-fit ​​ball 102, so that the rocker arm sleeve 8 and the rocker arm body 1 can be snapped together by the elastic snap-fit ​​component 10.

[0053] Thus, the elastic snap-fit ​​connector 10 not only enables the rocker arm body 1 to be quickly connected to the rocker arm sleeve 8, but also allows the rocker arm sleeve 8 to be connected to the rocker arm body 1 if the connecting screw 9 is damaged and cannot be used during the use of the rocker arm, thus preventing the rocker arm from becoming unusable. This not only increases the stability of the connection, but also provides safety and convenience in its use.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotating disk 61 is disposed on the inner circumferential side of the rocker arm sleeve 8 and the rotating disk 61 is coaxially disposed with the rocker arm sleeve 8. A sealing element 12 is provided between the outer circumferential side of the rotating disk 61 and the inner circumferential side of the rocker arm sleeve 8. The sealing element 12 is an O-ring seal, which ensures the tight connection between the rotating disk 61 and the rocker arm sleeve 8.

[0055] When the rocker arm needs adjustment, the adjustment knob 51 is connected to the end of the rotating disk 61. By rotating the adjustment knob 51, the rotating disk 61 is driven to move axially along the main shaft 3. After the distance between the main shaft 3 and the rocker arm is adjusted to the correct position, the adjustment knob 51 is removed, and then the rocker arm is connected to the fishing reel body for installation and use. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to adjust. Through the adjustment component connected to the main shaft, the drive unit can drive the rotating unit to move axially, adjusting the installation distance of the rocker arm. This allows for adjustment of the installation distance of the main shaft at the rocker arm mounting end, making it compatible with various fishing reels of different specifications. This improves the versatility of the rocker arm, enhances the user experience, and eliminates the need for different rocker arms. One rocker arm can be used for different models of fishing reels, saving production costs.
