Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing equipment technology, specifically to a fishing float and a fishing rod with the fishing float. Background Technology
[0002] In fishing, the problem of float drifting with the current has long plagued many fishing enthusiasts, greatly affecting the fishing experience and the catch. Traditional fishing floats have a relatively simple structure, with the body mostly being a solid structure, usually filled with foam or reeds. This design reveals many drawbacks when facing complex aquatic environments, especially when the current is strong, the disadvantages become more obvious.
[0003] First, wind is a common natural factor causing currents. In windy weather, the wind force acts on the water surface, creating waves and pushing the water to form a current. Traditional fishing floats, due to their solid structure, are difficult to maintain a stable position under the impact of such currents. In addition, the foam or reed filling material is relatively light and is more easily carried by the current, causing the float to quickly shift away from the originally intended fishing spot.
[0004] Secondly, aeration equipment in fishponds can also cause water flow problems. Currently, oxygen deficiency is a common problem in fishponds, and fishpond owners often turn on oxygen pumps to increase water oxygenation to ensure fish survival. When the oxygen pump is working, it strongly agitates the water, generating a strong current. Traditional fishing floats often cannot withstand this current and are quickly swept away, severely interfering with the angler's judgment of fish bite signals.
[0005] In addition, weather changes can also affect water bodies, leading to currents. For example, when the upper layer of water is warm and the lower layer is cool, thermal convection occurs. The current generated by this thermal convection constantly impacts the float, and traditional floats, due to their structural characteristics, cannot remain stable under this current, resulting in frequent movement.
[0006] The strong current makes it difficult for traditional fishing floats to stay in one spot, greatly reducing the success rate of fishing. Because the float is constantly moving, anglers cannot accurately judge when a fish bites, making it impossible to accurately cast the bait to the target area, resulting in a reduced catch.
[0007] Based on this, a new type of fishing float and a fishing rod with the fishing float have been developed in this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0008] One objective of this invention is to provide a fishing float that greatly reduces the frequent displacement of the float due to current, allowing the float to remain stably in a relatively fixed position in the water, thereby improving the stability of the float during fishing and providing anglers with a more reliable observation basis.
[0009] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a fishing float, the fishing float comprising a float tail, a float body and a float foot connected in sequence; wherein, the float body has a sealed cavity; a counterweight is provided in the sealed cavity, the counterweight is connected to the float tail through a connecting line to realize the suspension of the counterweight.
[0010] Furthermore, the counterweight is a lead weight.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting line is a fishing line.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealed cavity is located on the float body near the tail end of the float.
[0013] Furthermore, the volume of the sealed cavity occupies at least half of the volume of the float.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The float has a sealed cavity containing a counterweight, which is suspended by a connecting line to the float tip. When encountering a current, the water flow impacts the float, causing stress on the entire float system. Due to the weight of the counterweight, it has inertia to maintain its original stationary state. At the moment the current acts, the float as a whole tends to move with the current, but the counterweight, due to inertia, lags behind within the sealed cavity. For example, if the current impacts from the left, the float will move to the right, but the counterweight will "hold" the float tip, preventing it from moving quickly to the right, thus slowing down the float's movement from the initial stage.
[0016] As the water flow continues to impact the float, the counterweight begins to swing within the sealed cavity. During this swing, the counterweight generates tension with the connecting line and friction and collision forces with the inner wall of the sealed cavity. These forces interact, continuously consuming the energy exerted on the float by the water flow. For example, when the counterweight swings to the left, it generates a rightward pull on the float, and when it swings to the right, it generates a leftward pull. By constantly changing the direction of the pull, it offsets some of the impact force from the water flow, much like a car's shock absorber absorbs the energy from road bumps, making the float's movement in the water flow smoother and further reducing the impact of the water flow on the float.
[0017] Furthermore, the position of the counterweight changes accordingly within the sealed cavity under the impact of water flows of different directions and magnitudes. When the water flows from below, the counterweight swings upward, shifting the center of gravity of the float upward, reducing the risk of being overturned by the water flow and enhancing vertical stability. In the horizontal direction, the swinging of the counterweight continuously adjusts the position of the float's center of gravity, helping the float better resist the impact of horizontal water flows and maintain a relatively stable floating posture.
[0018] Compared to traditional floats, which may travel 3 meters per minute, the float of this invention travels only 1.5 meters or even 1 meter per minute under the same current conditions. This greatly reduces the frequent displacement of the float due to the current, allowing it to remain stably in a relatively fixed position in the water, thus improving the stability of the float during fishing and providing anglers with a more reliable observation basis.
[0019] With a slower current and increased stability, the float allows anglers to cast their bait more accurately to the target area, reducing bait placement errors caused by float shifting. Furthermore, a stable float transmits the bite signal more clearly and accurately when a fish bites, making it easier for anglers to time their bite and react promptly, thus increasing the success rate and providing a better fishing experience for enthusiasts.
[0020] The second objective of this invention is to provide a fishing rod, including the aforementioned float. Attached Figure Description

[0025] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps. Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 The invention will be described in detail, including specific implementation methods.
[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a fishing float, which includes a float tip 1, a float body 2, and a float stem 3 connected in sequence. The float body 2 has a sealed cavity 20; a counterweight 4 is provided within the sealed cavity 20, and the counterweight 4 is connected to the float tip 1 via a connecting line 5 to suspend the counterweight 4.
[0028] The float body 2 has a sealed cavity 20, inside which is a counterweight 4, which is connected to the float tip 1 via a connecting line 5 for suspension. When encountering a current, the water flow impacts the float, and the entire float system is subjected to force. At this time, due to the large weight of the counterweight 4, it has the inertia to maintain its original stationary state. At the moment the water flow acts, the float as a whole tends to move with the current, but the counterweight 4, due to its inertia, lags behind within the sealed cavity 20. For example, if the current impacts from the left, the float will move to the right, but the counterweight 4 will "hold" the float tip 1, preventing the float from moving quickly to the right, thus slowing down the speed at which the float is swept away by the current from the initial stage.
[0029] As the water flow continues to impact the float, the counterweight 4 begins to swing within the sealed cavity 20. During this swing, the counterweight 4 generates tension with the connecting line 5 and friction and collision forces with the inner wall of the sealed cavity 20. These forces interact, continuously consuming the energy exerted on the float by the water flow. For example, when the counterweight 4 swings to the left, it generates a rightward pull on the float, and when it swings to the right, it generates a leftward pull. By constantly changing the direction of the pull, it offsets some of the impact force of the water flow, much like a car's shock absorber absorbs the energy from road bumps, making the float move more smoothly in the water flow and further reducing the impact of the water flow on the float.
[0030] Furthermore, under the impact of water flows of different directions and magnitudes, the position of the counterweight 4 within the sealed cavity 20 changes accordingly. When the water flows from below, the counterweight 4 swings upward, causing the center of gravity of the float to shift upward, reducing the risk of being overturned by the water flow and enhancing vertical stability. In the horizontal direction, the swinging of the counterweight 4 continuously adjusts the position of the float's center of gravity, helping the float to better resist the impact of horizontal water flows and maintain a relatively stable floating posture.
[0031] Compared to traditional floats, which may travel 3 meters per minute, the float of this invention travels only 1.5 meters or even 1 meter per minute under the same current conditions. This greatly reduces the frequent displacement of the float due to the current, allowing it to remain stably in a relatively fixed position in the water, thus improving the stability of the float during fishing and providing anglers with a more reliable observation basis.
[0032] With a slower current and increased stability, the float allows anglers to cast their bait more accurately to the target area, reducing bait placement errors caused by float shifting. Furthermore, a stable float transmits the bite signal more clearly and accurately when a fish bites, making it easier for anglers to time their bite and react promptly, thus increasing the success rate and providing a better fishing experience for enthusiasts.
[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the counterweight 4 is a lead weight, and the connecting line 5 is a fishing line.
[0034] The lead weight has a high density, allowing for sufficient weight within a relatively small volume. This enables the counterweight 4 to exert good inertia within the float. When water impacts the float, the heavier lead weight, due to its greater mass, generates significant inertia, more effectively resisting the instantaneous impact of the water flow. Like a stable "anchor," it prevents the float from being carried away by the current too quickly, thus ensuring the float's initial stability. Furthermore, lead weights are readily available on the market and relatively inexpensive, making them an economical choice for producing this new type of float.
[0035] Fishing line is used as the connecting line 5 because it possesses high strength and good toughness. During the swinging of the counterweight 4, the fishing line can withstand the tension between the counterweight and the float without easily breaking. For example, when the counterweight 4 swings violently within the sealed cavity 20, generating a large tension on the fishing line, it remains intact, ensuring a stable connection between the counterweight 4 and the float, allowing the shock absorption and force dissipation mechanism to function properly. Furthermore, the fishing line has a certain degree of elasticity, which can buffer the impact force generated when the counterweight 4 swings. When the counterweight 4 swings rapidly, the elasticity of the fishing line can absorb some energy, reducing the damage to the connection point between the float and the counterweight 4 caused by sudden tension. It also helps to transmit force more smoothly, enhancing the shock absorption and force dissipation effect.
[0036] Furthermore, in some specific embodiments, the sealed cavity 20 is located on the float body 2 near the float tip 1. The float tip 1 is a key part for anglers to observe the fish bite signal. By placing the sealed cavity 20 close to the float tip 1, the nearby oscillation of the counterweight 4 provides better stability to the float tip 1. When a fish bites, generating a small pulling or pushing force, the float tip 1 can react more sensitively and stably. Compared to having the sealed cavity 20 in other locations, this design reduces the ambiguity or misjudgment of the float tip signal caused by the overall swaying of the float, allowing anglers to observe the fish bite signal more accurately.
[0037] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the volume of the sealed cavity 20 occupies at least half of the volume of the float body 2. The larger volume of the sealed cavity 20 can accommodate a sufficiently large counterweight 4, which provides enough room for the counterweight 4 to move, allowing it to swing fully under the impact of water flow, thereby better exerting its inertial resistance and swing force relief functions.
[0038] Based on the aforementioned fishing float, this utility model also provides a fishing rod, which includes the aforementioned fishing float. This fishing rod incorporates at least all the technical solutions of the aforementioned fishing float, and therefore possesses all the advantages of the aforementioned fishing float, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
