Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing reel technology, and in particular to an adjustable fishing reel guide assembly. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of fishing reels, the line guide ensures that the reel has stable line take-up and take-up functions. It is generally composed of a guide post, a twist rod, a twist bushing, and a guide assembly. The guide post and the twist bushing are fixed side by side inside the spool housing. The twist rod is rotatably mounted on the spool housing inside the twist bushing and is connected to the spool via a gear assembly. The guide assembly reciprocates under the combined action of the guide post and the twist rod.

[0003] The existing line guide assembly includes a guide gauge, a crescent pin, and a nut. The guide gauge is fitted onto the guide post and the twisted shaft sleeve via a sliding hole. The crescent pin passes through the threaded portion of the guide gauge and enters the guide gauge, with its crescent-shaped edge engaging with the twisted shaft. The nut is fixed to the threaded end of the guide gauge, abutting against the outer end face of the crescent pin. However, with use of the fishing reel, the crescent-shaped edge of the crescent pin wears down, causing the line guide assembly to move poorly. Maintenance is required, which involves unscrewing the nut, filling the nut with a shim of a certain thickness, and then tightening the nut. The thickness of the shim needs to be selected based on the wear of the crescent-shaped edge. This process requires multiple experiments and repeated disassembly and reassembly of the nut, resulting in low maintenance efficiency and difficulty in ensuring the desired fit after maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable fishing reel guide assembly that improves maintenance convenience and ensures the effective cooperation between the half-moon pin and the twisted shaft.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable fishing reel guide assembly includes a guide gauge, a crescent pin, and a nut. The guide gauge has a guide portion for the fishing line to pass through and a threaded portion that mates with the nut. The threaded portion has a mounting hole for the crescent pin to pass through. The nut has a threaded hole corresponding to the mounting hole, and a set screw for abutting the outer end face of the crescent pin is fitted into the threaded hole. By using a set screw through the nut, the crescent pin can be re-engaged with the twisted rod without disassembling the nut; simply adjusting the length of the set screw into the nut effectively improves maintenance convenience. Furthermore, the set screw offers high adjustment precision, allowing the operator to manually rotate it until the crescent pin and the twisted rod achieve the desired engagement.

[0007] The set screw is provided with a damping element for providing circumferential damping force. Adding a damping element to the set screw restricts its free rotation and prevents axial displacement due to bumps during transportation, thus affecting the fit between the adjusted half-moon pin and the twisted rod.

[0008] The damping element is an anti-loosening adhesive coated on the external thread of the set screw.

[0009] The damping element is a PTFE raw material tape wound around the external thread of the set screw.

[0010] A crimping groove is formed on the outer end face of the crimping pin, and the tail end of the set screw passes into the crimping groove and abuts against the bottom of the crimping groove. The crimping groove increases the accommodating space of the set screw along the axial direction, avoiding excessive exposure of the set screw and affecting the appearance.

[0011] The head end of the set screw has an internal hexagonal groove, and the external thread of the set screw extends to the outside of the head end.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention improves the convenience of maintenance by using a set screw that runs through the nut. When maintaining the wire assembly, there is no need to remove the nut. Simply adjust the length of the set screw into the nut to push the half-moon pin and the twisted shaft to engage again. At the same time, compared with the prior art, the set screw has high adjustment precision, and the operator can rotate the set screw until the half-moon pin and the twisted shaft achieve the desired engagement effect.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable fishing reel guide assembly, including a guide gauge 4, a crescent pin 5, and a nut 6. The guide gauge 4 has a guide portion 401 for the fishing line to pass through and a threaded portion 402 that mates with the nut 6. The threaded portion 402 has a mounting hole 403 for the crescent pin 5 to pass through. The nut 6 has a threaded hole 601 at a position corresponding to the mounting hole 403. A set screw 7 for abutting against the outer end face of the crescent pin 5 is connected in the threaded hole 601. The set screw 7 passes through the nut 6 and abuts against the outer end face of the crescent pin 5, replacing the original tightening function of the nut 6. Therefore, when maintaining the worn crescent pin 5, it is not necessary to disassemble the nut 6. By adjusting the length of the set screw 7 screwed into the nut 6, the crescent pin 5 can be pushed to re-engage with the twisted shaft, thereby effectively improving the convenience of maintenance. At the same time, the adjustment method of the set screw 7 is more precise than the existing shim adjustment method, allowing the operator to rotate the set screw 7 until the crescent pin 5 and the twisted shaft achieve the required engagement effect.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the set screw 7 is a hexagonal flat-end set screw 7, that is, the head end of the set screw 7 has an internal hexagonal groove 701, the tail end of the set screw 7 is a plane, and the external thread of the set screw 7 extends to the outside of the head end.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to avoid excessive exposure of the set screw 7 on the outside of the nut 6, which would affect the aesthetics of the wire assembly, a crimping groove 501 is provided on the outer end face of the crimping pin 5. The crimping groove 501 increases the space along the axial direction to accommodate the set screw 7. The tail end of the set screw 7 passes into the crimping groove 501 and abuts against the bottom of the crimping groove 501.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, the distance between the top of the nut 6 and the bottom of the crimping groove 501 is equal to the length of the set screw 7, so that during the initial assembly, the crescent pin 5 is determined to be in the initial position based on the fact that the head of the set screw 7 is flush with the surface of the nut 6.

[0028] Further preferably, to prevent the set screw 7 from axially shifting due to bumps during transportation of the fishing reel, thereby affecting the fit between the adjusted crescent pin 5 and the twist rod 1, the set screw 7 is provided with a damping element for providing circumferential damping force. In one embodiment, the damping element is an anti-loosening adhesive coated on the external thread of the set screw 7. Specifically, the anti-loosening adhesive is a single-component pre-coated thread sealant, which forms an anti-loosening film on the thread after curing. In other embodiments, the damping element is a PTFE tape wrapped around the external thread of the set screw 7. The mechanism of both is to fill the thread gap between the set screw 7 and the threaded hole 601 to prevent the set screw 7 from loosening.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the guide gauge 4, guide post 3, and twisted bushing 2 of this guide assembly are installed on the fishing reel. The crescent pin 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 403 of the guide gauge 4 and engages with the twisted rod 1. The nut 6 is tightened onto the threaded end. The set screw 7, which has been coated with glue and cured with an anti-loosening film, is screwed into the threaded hole 601 until the head of the set screw 7 is flush with the nut 6, thus completing the assembly of the guide assembly. When the crescent pin 5 wears and needs maintenance, the operator uses a hex wrench to adjust the set screw 7 with a rotational force greater than the damping force. The degree of engagement between the crescent pin 5 and the twisted rod 1 is judged based on the sliding effect of the guide gauge 4 to meet the user's needs. The whole process is efficient and convenient, enhancing the user experience of the fishing reel.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
