Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing reel technology, specifically a clutch assembly for a fishing reel. Background Technology
[0002] A fishing reel, also called a fishing line reel, line feeder, or line reel, is an essential fishing tackle for casting (sea) rod fishing. It typically consists of 11 main components, including a handle, crank arm, anti-reverse button, main reel body, reel feet, guide reel, line reel, casting nut, hook clip, line housing, and drag device. It is a fishing tackle fixed in front of the casting rod handle and is the main tackle for forming a casting rod fishing rig.
[0003] When using modern fishing reels, the internal clutch assembly can cause the casting lever to engage with the anti-reverse ratchet during operation. This engagement, due to the direct-insertion mechanism, can cause the ratchet to engage with the teeth, resulting in a jammed ratchet. This prevents the shaft from rotating, affecting the smoothness of the reel and extending its lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clutch assembly for a fishing reel, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, when using a current fishing reel, the internal clutch assembly structure causes the casting lever to directly insert into the anti-reverse ratchet during operation. This direct insertion results in the ratchet being pressed and jammed, preventing the shaft from rotating and affecting the use of the fishing reel. Consequently, the fishing reel is not smooth enough and its service life is affected.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A clutch assembly for a fishing reel includes a main reel body. A geared spindle is horizontally inserted into one side of the main reel body. A bearing cap is fixedly sleeved at one end of the geared spindle, and a slewing bearing is fixedly sleeved at another end of the geared spindle. A fastening screw is threadedly connected to one end of the geared spindle. A drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the geared spindle, and a backstop ratchet is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the geared spindle. A torsion spring is fixedly engaged on the side of the main reel body. A clutch plate is provided on the side of the main reel body. A clutch assembly is fastened to the side of the clutch plate. A clutch guide rod is fastened to the side of the clutch assembly away from the clutch plate. A tension spring is provided on the side of the main reel body. A protective baffle is provided on the side of the main reel body. A casting lever is provided on the side of the main reel body. A second fastening screw is inserted into the side of the casting lever. A clutch trigger key is engaged on the side of the main reel body.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: one end of the gear transmission spindle is inserted into the side of the main wheel body near the edge hole, the bearing cap is fixedly sleeved at the end of the gear transmission spindle near the main wheel body, and the rotary bearing is fixedly snapped into the side hole of the main wheel body.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fastening screw is threadedly fixedly connected to the end of the gear transmission spindle near the side hole inserted into the main wheel body, and the outer side of the power gear plate is toothed to the main shaft gear of the main wheel body.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the anti-reverse ratchet is fixedly disposed on the outer side of the gear transmission main shaft near the side of the power gear plate; one end of the torsion spring is fixedly inserted into the side of the main wheel body near the edge, and the other end is fixedly inserted into the side through hole of the clutch assembly; the clutch plate is sleeved at one end of the central main shaft of the main wheel body; the anti-reverse ratchet and the power gear plate are flat holes, which are positioned and installed in conjunction with the flat part of the gear transmission main shaft; the bearing cover is fixedly disposed on the main wheel body; and the protrusion on the clutch assembly is fixedly engaged with the groove on the clutch plate.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the clutch assembly is fastened to a position away from the main wheel body, the side column of the clutch guide rod is fixedly inserted into the inner groove of the clutch plate, one end of the tension spring is fixedly sleeved at one end of the bearing cover, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly sleeved at the lower end of the protective baffle.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: one end of the protective baffle is fixedly inserted into the through groove of one end of the throwing lever, one end of the throwing lever is fixedly connected to the side of the clutch plate by two fastening screws, and the other end of the throwing lever is located near the outer side of the anti-reverse ratchet.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention involves the following: After holding the main wheel, pressing the clutch trigger button causes the throwing paddle to rotate around the screw as its axis. Under the influence of the tension spring, the throwing paddle rotates towards the anti-reverse ratchet around the screw axis. The throwing paddle, pulled by the tension spring, is pulled towards the anti-reverse ratchet and contacts its teeth. During operation, rotating the gear transmission main shaft drives the anti-reverse ratchet to rotate. The teeth on the anti-reverse ratchet push the throwing paddle to move, which in turn pushes the clutch assembly to rotate. The clutch assembly, carrying the torsion spring, rotates. The throwing paddle then passes the center point between the torsion spring and the clutch assembly. When the clutch assembly is in use, under the force of the torsion spring, it jumps upward to return to its original position. The other end of the clutch assembly pushes the casting lever to rotate outward, disengaging it from the anti-reverse ratchet. This prevents the casting lever from being inserted into the anti-reverse ratchet in a downward, straight-in manner, which would otherwise cause the anti-reverse ratchet to jam and prevent the main shaft from rotating, resulting in an overall jammed state that renders the fishing reel unusable. The use of an arc-shaped flip-limiting structure prevents this straight-in, top-connection jamming, making it smoother to use and extending the lifespan of the fishing reel.
