Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing gear technology, specifically to a clutch switching mechanism for a fishing reel. Background Technology
[0002] The clutch switching mechanism of a fishing reel is a mechanical device that allows anglers to control the rotation of the spool during fishing, thereby enabling the functions of letting out and reeling in the line. When the clutch is disengaged, the spool can rotate freely, allowing the fishing line to be released smoothly, suitable for casting bait or letting the fish swim. When the clutch is engaged, turning the handle of the fishing reel will cause the spool to rotate, thereby reeling in the fishing line, suitable for pulling fish ashore or adjusting the fishing line tension. The design and complexity of the clutch switching mechanism can vary depending on the type and purpose of the fishing reel.
[0003] Currently, some clutch mechanisms use a spring in conjunction with an elastic stop to control the engagement and disengagement of the spool, while others rely on an external stop mechanism to control the rotation of the spool, thus achieving engagement and disengagement between casting and reeling. The first type of stop mechanism is relatively simple, but its fixing effect is difficult to guarantee. Under prolonged casting and reeling operations, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the clutch. When catching a large fish, the pulling force can easily cause the clutch mechanism to break. The second type of mechanism is more complex, and the external operating mechanism is more susceptible to damage from impacts.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a spool 1, with a left guard plate 21 and a right guard plate 22 respectively connected to both sides of the spool 1. Both the left and right guard plates 21 and 22 have mounting brackets for connecting to a fishing rod on both sides (this is conventional technology and is not described in detail in the specification). A drive shaft 3 is rotatably connected between the left and right guard plates 21 and 22. A drive disc 4 is connected to the middle of the drive shaft 3. Multiple sets of limiting swing arms 5 are rotatably connected to both sides of the drive disc 4. Each limiting swing arm 5 has a meshing tooth 6 on one side. A connecting frame 7 is connected to both sides of the drive disc 4. A traction spring 8 is connected between the connecting frame 7 and the limiting swing arm 5. A connecting sleeve 91 is rotatably connected to one end of the drive shaft 3. A cross 9 is connected to one end of the sleeve 91. Multiple sets of actuating shafts 10 are connected to one side of the cross 9. A rotating plate 11 is connected to the other side of the cross 9. A limit locking head 12 is connected to one side of the rotating plate 11. A connecting frame 2 13 is connected to one end of the connecting sleeve 91. A pin 14 is connected to one side of the connecting frame 2 13. A protective shell 15 is rotatably mounted on one side of the left guard plate 21. A knob 16 is connected to one side of the protective shell 15. A reset unit 17 is connected to one side of the left guard plate 21. One end of the drive shaft 3 passes through the right guard plate 22 and is connected to a handle connector 18. A mounting bracket 101 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the spool 1. Limiting toothed rings 20 are connected to both sides of the mounting bracket 101.
[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, connecting bearings 23 and protective inner rings 232 are connected to both sides of the spool 1. Connecting rings 231 are connected to the sides of the left guard plate 21 and the right guard plate 22 that are close to each other. The outer ring of the connecting bearing 23 is fixedly connected to the spool 1, and the inner ring is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 231. Bearing seats 33 are connected to the drive shaft 3 on one side of the left guard plate 21 and the right guard plate 22. The protective inner ring 232 is rotatably connected to the spool 1. The bearing seats 33 can ensure the rotation effect of the drive shaft 3 and avoid friction between it and the left guard plate 21 and the right guard plate 22. At the same time, the connecting bearings 23 can ensure the rotation effect between the spool 1 and the left guard plate 21 and the right guard plate 22. When casting bait and releasing line, the rotation effect of the spool 1 is guaranteed. The protective inner ring 232 can further ensure the support of the spool 1 and further ensure the rotation stability of the spool 1.
[0027] Reference Figure 5 As shown, multiple sets of guide holes 41 are opened on one side of the drive disk 4. One end of the actuating shaft 10 passes through the guide hole 41 and is rotatably connected to a cylinder. One side of the cylinder abuts against the limiting swing arm 5. When the actuating shaft 10 rotates with the cross 9, it will also rotate along the guide hole 41. While rotating, the external cylinder will squeeze each corresponding limiting swing arm 5, causing it to open the inner meshing connection of the limiting tooth ring 20.
[0028] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a rotating hole 141 is provided on one side of the left protective plate 21. One end of the pin 14 passes through the rotating hole 141 and is connected to the protective shell 15. When the protective shell 15 is rotated by the knob 16, the pin 14 can be rotated along the rotating hole 141, thereby driving the internal rotating plate 11 and cross 9 to rotate through the connecting sleeve 91, so as to drive the effect described above.
[0029] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the reset unit 17 includes a downward pressing shaft 171 slidably disposed on one side of the left guard plate 21. One end of the downward pressing shaft 171 extends into the spool 1 and is connected to a limit bracket 172, while the other end is connected to a rubber head sleeve 173. One end of the limit bracket 12 is engaged with the limit bracket 172, and can be repositioned by attaching a rubber head sleeve 173. Figure 4It can be seen that the limiting card head 12 has a release groove on one side of the middle, while the limiting card frame 172 is set with an arc and has round ball heads at both ends. This ensures that the limiting card head 12 can be smoothly locked into the limiting card frame 172 after the rotating plate 11 rotates to a suitable angle and is then limited. A fixing seat 112 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the spool 1. A reset spring 111 is connected to one side of the fixing seat 112. One side of the limiting card frame 172 is in contact with the reset spring 111. By pressing down the pressure shaft 171 through the rubber head sleeve 173, the limiting card frame 172 is positioned in the release groove of the limiting card head 12, thereby losing the limiting effect on the limiting card head 12. The limiting card head 12 is then directly reset, causing the spool 1 to separate from the rotating shaft 3.
[0030] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a bolt is connected to one side of the handle connector 18, and the bolt is reverse threaded. It is connected to one end of the drive shaft 3. The reverse thread design ensures that the handle connector 18 and the drive shaft 3 will not loosen when the cable is wound up by rotating the handle 18, but will instead become tighter.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 As shown, a fitting frame 201 is connected to one side of the limiting tooth ring 20, and a fitting groove 102 is opened on both sides of the mounting frame 101 corresponding to the fitting frame 201. A positioning bolt 202 is connected to one side of the limiting tooth ring 20, and one end of the positioning bolt 202 passes through the limiting tooth ring 20 and is connected to the mounting frame 101.
[0032] Reference Figure 5 As shown, a circular shaft 61 is provided between the limiting swing arms 5. The circular shaft 61 is rotatably connected to the drive disk 4, which can ensure that the limiting swing arms 5 on both sides can rotate synchronously and ensure the stability of use.
[0033] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When casting bait and releasing line, the spool 1 can rotate freely. When it is time to reel in the line, the knob 16 is turned, which drives the pin 14 through the protective shell 15, thereby driving the cross 9 and the transmission plate 11 at the bottom of the connecting sleeve 91 to rotate. When the cross 9 rotates, it drives the limiting arm 5 through the actuating shaft 10, thereby causing the meshing teeth 6 to mesh and lock with the limiting tooth ring 20. At the same time as the transmission plate 11 rotates, the limiting head 12 is locked by the reset unit 17, which keeps the actuating shaft 10 in a locked position, achieving a clutch engagement state. Thus, the spool 1 can be driven to rotate through the drive shaft 3 to reel in the line. Pressing the reset unit 17 releases the limiting head 12, the actuating shaft 10 loses its limit, and the traction spring 8 pulls the limiting arm 5 to reset, thereby squeezing the actuating shaft 10 to reset, causing the limiting arm 5 to separate from the limiting tooth ring 20, and allowing the spool 1 to return to a state of free rotation.
