Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to fishing tackle product field, concretely is a water drop wheel magnetic brake structure with switchable floating and fixed state. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the fishing equipment field, the water drop wheel is favored because of its accurate line exit and strong control feeling. Its casting performance and stability depend largely on the brake system, and the magnetic brake is one of the common and effective technical means.

[0003] The traditional magnetic brake mechanism, such as the water drop wheel magnetic brake structure disclosed by CN222193766U, usually includes a brake seat, a brake pad with a magnetic sheet, a return spring and a brake cover. Its core principle is that: the brake seat is provided with a spiral slide rail on both sides, the brake pad is slidably arranged outside the slide rail, and is connected with the end of the slide rail through the return spring. When casting, the rotating line cup generates magnetic resistance with the magnetic sheet on the brake pad; as the line cup speed changes, the tension on the brake pad changes, so that it overcomes the force of the return spring and slides on the slide rail, thereby changing the magnetic action area with the line cup and realizing adaptive brake force adjustment. Compared with the earlier scheme of simply adjusting the fixed distance between the magnet and the line cup through a knob, this design does improve the stability and adaptability of the casting process to some extent.

[0004] However, in actual use, it is found that the above-mentioned adaptive structure based on sliding and spring return still has certain limitations. The brake pad is always in a "floating" state, and the adjustment of the brake force completely depends on the dynamic balance of the instantaneous tension generated by the rotation of the line cup and the spring return force. In the face of different fishing methods, different bait weights or extreme casting conditions, this single "floating" mode may not provide the most ideal brake force curve. For example, when extremely weak brake force is needed to achieve super long casting, the initial pre-pressure of the spring may still be too large; when strong line explosion needs to be quickly suppressed, the dynamic balance of the magnetic force and the spring force may not be fast enough or the force may not be sufficient. In other words, the existing structure provides an "elastic adaptive" scheme, but lacks a mechanism that allows users to actively and firmly switch the working mode of the brake pad (for example, between "free floating" and "complete fixation") according to specific needs. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a water drop wheel magnetic brake structure with more flexible control, which can adapt to more complex fishing scenes, allowing users to simply and reliably change the working state of the brake pad according to actual needs, thereby obtaining better casting performance and use experience.

[0009] In the second installation state, the return spring is removed, the brake pad is installed by turning over, the limiting block directly abuts against the end of the spring placing groove, so that the position of the brake pad is fixed.

[0010] Preferably, the spring placing groove has a first end at the starting end of the slide rail and a second end at the middle section of the slide rail; in the first installation state, one end of the return spring abuts against the second end, and the other end abuts against the limiting block; in the second installation state, the limiting block abuts against the second end.

[0011] Preferably, the spring placing groove is arranged along the extension direction of the slide rail, and the cross-sectional shape of the spring placing groove matches the shapes of the return spring and the limiting block, so that the return spring can be accommodated in the groove, and the limiting block can slide in the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the spring placing groove is formed by the corresponding structures of the brake cover and the brake seat.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] (1) The magnetic braking structure of the baitcasting reel provided by this utility model introduces a switchable and combinable mechanism for the working mode of the brake pads on the basis of the traditional floating adaptive brake.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, it will be described more comprehensively and in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a magnetic brake structure for a teardrop wheel with switchable floating and fixed states. The structure mainly includes a brake seat 1, a brake cover 2, brake pads 4, and a return spring 6.

[0028] The brake cover 2 is fixed to one end of the brake seat 1 by screws 7, and the two fit together on their circumferential sides to form two spiral slide rails. The two brake pads 4 are respectively installed in the corresponding slide rails and can slide or be fixed therein.

[0029] On the inner side of each slide rail, a spring placement groove 3 is provided along its extension direction. The spring placement groove 3 is formed by the corresponding structure on the brake seat 1 and the brake cover 2, and its cross-sectional shape matches the return spring 6 and the limiting block 5 on the inner side of the brake pad 4.

[0030] The spring placement groove 3 has a fixed first end and a second end. The first end is located at the starting end of the slide rail, structurally forming a fixed abutment reference; the second end is located at the middle section of the slide rail in its extension direction. In the floating state, the movable range of the brake pad 4 is formed from the second end to the ending end of the slide rail.

[0031] The limiting block 5 and the brake pad 4 are preferably integrally formed, and their positions correspond to the spring placement groove 3. The brake pad 4 is provided with multiple magnetic plates to generate magnetic resistance when the spool rotates. The return spring 6 is an arc-shaped spring and is detachably placed in the spring placement groove 3.

[0032] The brake pad 4 of this utility model has two switchable installation states, as follows:

[0033] First installation state (floating state):

[0034] The return spring 6 is placed in the spring placement groove 3, with one end abutting against the end of the spring placement groove 3 and the other end abutting against the limiting block 5 on the brake pad 4. In this state, the brake pad 4 can slide in the spiral direction within the slide rail, achieving adaptive magnetic brake adjustment.

[0035] Second installation state (fixed state):

[0036] Remove the return spring 6 from the spring placement slot 3, flip the brake pad 4 over and reinstall it, so that the limiting block 5 directly abuts against the second end of the spring placement slot 3 to form a rigid abutment. At this time, the brake pad 4 cannot move in the slide rail and is in a fixed position, providing a stable static braking force.

[0037] Preferably, the two brake pads 4 can be independently selected to be in the first installation state or the second installation state, thereby achieving the following three combination methods: both brake pads are floating; one brake pad is floating and the other brake pad is fixed; both brake pads are fixed.

[0038] This design allows users to flexibly adjust the braking mode according to different casting conditions (such as bait weight, wind speed, target distance, etc.), combining the advantages of adaptive braking and fixed braking, and improving the overall maneuverability and adaptability of the baitcasting reel.

[0039] For matters not covered in this utility model, conventional structures in the prior art can be used, such as spool assemblies, bearings, and reel covers, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
