Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fishing reels, specifically to a knob-controlled fishing reel. Background Technology

[0002] Fishing reels are typically equipped with a braking and deceleration device for the spool to prevent line tangling during casting. To adapt to different working scenarios, the operating parameters of this braking and deceleration device need to be adjusted. Existing technologies that rely on electromagnetic induction to brake the spool generally use a rotor magnet connected to the spool and rotating with it, and a stator coil mounted on the reel body. Braking of the spool is achieved through electromagnetic induction generated by their mutual rotation. For example, Chinese patent ZL201910152176.1 discloses a technology that "controls the braking force of the spool braking unit by using current generated by electromagnetic induction to switch on / off." Application number CN202311367137.6 discloses "an electronic control device for a fishing reel, comprising a spool for rotating and unwinding fishing line, a stator winding, a rotor, and a controller, wherein: the stator winding is disposed on the fishing reel body, the rotor rotates integrally with the spool, and the stator winding and the rotor are arranged facing each other to form a rotary motor; the controller is disposed on the fishing reel body, and the controller includes a processor and a current control unit, the current control unit being electrically connected to the stator winding; when it is necessary to change the rotational speed of the spool, the controller applies a driving current to the stator winding through the current control unit, and the stator winding generates an electromagnetic torque on the rotor. By actively applying a driving current to the stator winding, the rotational state is changed by overcoming the rotational inertia of the spool."

[0003] Existing electromagnetic braking devices for fishing reels generally use buttons or knobs to adjust and set operating parameters, and rely on wireless control terminals to control and adjust these parameters. For example, Chinese patent ZL202311674086.1 discloses an electromagnetic fishing reel and its control method controlled by buttons and external wireless communication; while Chinese patent CN202322901657.2 discloses an electromagnetic fishing reel controlled by a knob.

[0004] Existing fishing reel knob controls use indicator marks corresponding to dials to indicate operating parameters. The parameter on the dial pointed to by the indicator mark on the knob is set as the selected operating parameter, and the indicator mark on the knob and the parameter on the dial have a physical positional correspondence. The drawback of this method is that when the fishing reel switches operating parameters via wireless signal, the knob does not automatically rotate synchronously. Therefore, the operating parameter selected by the wireless signal cannot be synchronously fed back and displayed on the fishing reel dial. In other words, the selected operating parameter may not be consistent with the parameter on the dial pointed to by the indicator mark on the knob, which can easily cause confusion or misoperation by the operator, seriously affecting the user experience.

[0027] The "operating parameters" mentioned in this article specifically refer to the parameters used to control the electromagnetic braking force of the fishing reel when casting, including the braking gear or braking mode. These operating parameters are input as user commands to the control circuit module for processing. Controlling the electromagnetic braking force of the fishing reel based on the operating parameters, thereby adjusting the spool speed by 500 rpm, is a well-known existing technology in the field. As described in the background section, applying current to the stator winding generates an electromagnetic torque on the rotor, thus forming a braking force. The current in the stator coil of the fishing reel is adjusted by the control circuit module according to the operating parameters.

[0028] The "control knob" mentioned in this article specifically refers to a rotatable operating knob device installed on the side or top of a fishing reel. It has an operating dial 301 and a linked potentiometer or rotary encoder 310. The potentiometer or rotary encoder 310 is electrically connected to the control circuit module 200 to transmit electrical signals. The rotation of the operating dial 301 drives the potentiometer shaft or rotary encoder 310 to rotate, thereby switching the operating parameters of the fishing reel and transmitting them to the control circuit module 200 in the form of electrical signals. The "rotary encoder" specifically refers to a sensor that converts the mechanical displacement of a rotating object into an electrical signal. It can be a rotary mechanical contact encoder, a rotary magnetic encoder, or a rotary optical encoder, etc., and can be an incremental encoder or an absolute encoder. Examples include common mouse wheels, volume knobs on audio equipment, or channel knobs on televisions, all of which are existing technologies well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] The "display module" mentioned in this article specifically refers to the display element set on the surface of the fishing reel body 100, and the setting method also includes the installation method of setting it on the display window of the fishing reel shell.

[0030] The "light-emitting element" mentioned in this article specifically refers to an element that is controlled to light up or turn off according to an electrical signal, such as LEDs, fluorescent tubes, incandescent lamps, and other electroluminescent devices, all of which are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] The "digital display" mentioned in this article specifically refers to a component that displays numbers or characters according to electrical signals, such as LED digital tubes and fluorescent digital tubes, which are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] The "control circuit module" mentioned in this article specifically refers to a circuit device with a circuit board and electronic components and the software stored therein, which can process the working parameters input by the user, control the switching of current on and off or the change of current intensity in the stator coil, and also control the display information of the display module; the electrical connection involved in this application specifically refers to: circuit connection, or connection method for transmitting electrical signals or electrical energy through wireless connection.

[0033] The "wireless control terminal" mentioned in this article specifically refers to external devices such as mobile phones, remote controls, computers, or wearable devices that can adjust the working parameters of fishing reels by emitting wireless signals. These devices can use Bluetooth, WIFI, or light signals such as infrared. Example

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a knob-controlled fishing reel includes a reel body 100, a control circuit module 200, a control knob 300, and a display module 400.

[0035] The control knob 300 has an operation turntable 301 and a linked rotary encoder 310, wherein the rotary encoder 310 has a magnetic rotating body 311 and a magnetic sensitive element 315, and transmits the brake gear information selected by the user to the control circuit module 200 by detecting the rotation position of the operation turntable 301.

[0036] The display module 400 includes several light-emitting elements 401 fixed on the surface of the fishing reel, arranged in an arc shape around the operation dial 301 of the control knob 300 to form a light-emitting dial. Light-emitting elements at different positions indicate different braking gears of the fishing reel.

[0037] The control circuit module 200 controls the braking force of the fishing reel according to the braking gear information, and at the same time illuminates the light-emitting element in the display module 400 corresponding to the selected braking gear. For example, the fifth light-emitting element corresponds to the preset braking force of level 5. When the operation dial 301 is rotated until the fifth light-emitting element is lit, it indicates that the braking force has been successfully switched to level 5.

[0038] When switching braking gear information via wireless signal, the control circuit module 200 performs the same processing to keep the selected braking gear synchronized with the indicator on the illuminated dial. For example, the 7th luminous element corresponds to the preset 7th braking force. When the 7th braking force is set via the mobile terminal, the 7th luminous element lights up, indicating that the 7th braking force has been successfully switched.

[0039] Compared to existing technologies, this improvement allows for a simultaneous and intuitive display of the current braking force level. Existing technologies indicate the braking force level by the physical position of the control dial relative to the scale, and the control dial cannot automatically rotate synchronously when switching braking gear information via wireless signal.

[0040] In this embodiment, the magnetic sensitive element 315 is a Hall effect device, or it can be other electromagnetic induction sensors; the luminous dial can also be arranged in a circular, strip-shaped or other pattern shape, or it can be set in other positions unrelated to the position of the operating turntable, such as the top or front of the fishing reel; the brake position can be indicated by the position of a single LED bead lit, or by a combination of multiple LED beads lit; the light-emitting element 401 can be an LED bead, or it can be other electroluminescent devices.

[0041] The above-mentioned device for switching braking gears can also be used to switch braking modes and other operating parameters. Example

[0042] Based on Embodiment 1, the following replacements and improvements are made: the luminous dial in the display module is replaced with a digital display 402, and the different brake positions of the fishing reel are displayed in the form of numbers or characters. Example

[0043] Based on Embodiment 2, the following replacements and improvements are made: the digital display is replaced with an e-ink screen, and the different brake positions of the fishing reel are displayed on the e-ink screen.

[0044] The above specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to the embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
