Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing vessel technology, specifically a novel braking and force-relieving structure for fishing vessels. Background Technology

[0002] Lure fishing reels are fishing gear specifically designed for lure fishing. They integrate sophisticated mechanics with the angler's ingenuity, aiming to provide superior line control and casting accuracy. These reels are typically made of lightweight yet sturdy materials, such as aluminum alloy or high-strength plastic, to ensure durability and portability. Their core components include a rotating spool for winding and releasing the fishing line, and an adjustable braking system to help anglers precisely control the release speed of the line and avoid "line tangling" during casting. Lure fishing reels also feature comfortable grips and easy-to-operate rocker arms, allowing anglers to easily engage in long fishing sessions.

[0003] The braking system of ordinary fishing reels has a fixed braking force that cannot be adjusted at any time. During the process of pulling on the fish after it has been hooked, the braking force is difficult to adjust. Therefore, a new type of fishing reel braking and force-relieving structure is needed to meet people's needs. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0019] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel fishing reel braking and unloading structure, including a fishing reel base 1, a drive shaft 2 installed inside the fishing reel base 1, and an upper brake pad 3, a gear disc 4, a lower brake pad 5, a brake pad 6, a rotating pad 7, a one-way bearing sleeve 8, a rotating sleeve 9, and a common bearing 11 sequentially sleeved on the drive shaft 2. The upper brake pad 3 and the lower brake pad 5 are located on both sides of the gear disc 4 and are in contact with both sides of the gear disc 4. The common bearing 11 has a pad groove, and a bearing pad 12 is installed in the pad groove. The outer diameter of the bearing pad 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the pad groove. A boss is provided on one side of the fishing reel base 1, and a one-way bearing 10 is installed in the boss. The one-way bearing sleeve 8 is installed in the one-way bearing 10. The rotating sleeve 9 and the common bearing 11 are located in the boss. The sum of the lengths of the one-way bearing sleeve 8, the rotating sleeve 9, and the common bearing 11 is greater than the distance from the outer surface of the boss on the side of the fishing reel base 1 to the inner wall of the fishing reel base 1. The thickness of the platform is such that a thrust bearing 13, a rocker arm 14, and a paddle 15 are sequentially installed on the outer side of the boss. Dust caps 16 are fitted onto the thrust bearing 13, rocker arm 14, and paddle 15. The end of the drive shaft 2 passes through the thrust bearing 13 and rocker arm 14 and is threadedly connected to a relief screw 17. The relief screw 17 passes through the dust cap 16, paddle 15, and rocker arm 14. A spring 18 and a spring washer 19 are installed between the dust cap 16 and the relief screw 17. One end of the spring 18 is installed inside the relief screw 17, and the other end of the spring 18 presses against one side of the spring washer 19. The other side of the spring washer 19 contacts the dust cap 16. The drive shaft 2 and the relief screw 17 are interconnected and pass through each part. By rotating the relief screw 17, the upper brake pad 3 and the lower brake pad 5 located on both sides of the gear plate 4 inside the fishing reel base 1 are pressed against the gear plate 4 together to provide friction, so that the relief screw 17 can adjust the braking force according to the rotation angle.

[0020] Example 2: Figure 1 , 2 In order to add an additional force to the braking force set by the unloading screw 17, a movable groove is provided on the dust cap 16, and the middle section of the rocker arm 14 is installed in the movable groove. One end of the rocker arm 14 located inside the dust cap 16 contacts one side surface of the paddle 15. The contact surfaces of the rocker arm 14 and the paddle 15 are respectively provided with slopes, and the slopes of the contact surfaces of the rocker arm 14 and the paddle 15 are adapted to each other. The remaining features are the same as in embodiment 1.

[0021] The working principle is as follows: When the fishing reel is in use, rotating the relief screw 17 causes the upper brake pad 3 and lower brake pad 5 located on both sides of the gear disc 4 inside the fishing reel base 1 to press against the gear disc 4, providing friction. This allows the relief screw 17 to adjust the braking force according to the rotation angle. Inside the dust cap 16, the contact surfaces of the rocker arm 14 and the paddle 15 are respectively provided with ramps. When the rocker arm 14 is rotated, the contact surfaces of the rocker arm 14 and the paddle 15 move relative to each other, causing the protrusions on the rocker arm 14 and the protrusions on the paddle 15 to change from being misaligned to pressing against each other. This adds an extra force to the braking force set by the relief screw 17, increasing the braking power. After releasing the rocker arm 14, the contact surfaces of the rocker arm 14 and the lever 15 return to their original misaligned state, causing the braking force to return to the value set by the unloading screw 17. When a fish is hooked, tighten the unloading screw 17 to set the braking force, and then rock the rocker arm 14. According to the fish's feedback, increase or decrease the braking force at any time to pull and control the fish's movement, while consuming the fish's energy. Avoid direct confrontation with the fish. If you pull hard, the fishing line may break or the fish may get off the hook. By rocking the rocker arm 14, you can increase or release additional braking force on top of the braking force set by the unloading screw 17, which can better control the fish and reduce the risk of line breakage or fish getting off the hook.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
