Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fishing tackle, and in particular to a protective structure for a folding fishing rod. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are many types of fishing rods, which can be divided into two categories according to their structure: hand rods (without a reel) and sea rods or casting rods (with a reel). Hand rods consist of a handle and a multi-section telescopic rod that gradually tapers to a point from the handle to the rear. Sea rods or casting rods, on the other hand, have a reel fixedly attached to the handle of the hand rod, facilitating the extension and retraction of the fishing line. However, since existing reels are generally attached to the outside of the handle, line tangling is common during casting and reeling. While existing fishing rods are adjustable, the shortened length is usually determined by the length of the rod tip connected to the handle. Therefore, the shortened rod still occupies a significant amount of space, making it inconvenient to handle and store.

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, existing technology offers a foldable fishing rod with a reel and multi-section telescopic rod body integrated into a single structure. The reel is enclosed within this integrated structure, preventing line tangling and splintering. The rod body and reel can be hinged for folding or extending, reducing the overall space occupied by the rod when folded and facilitating storage. However, the hinge structure between the rod body and reel includes a hinge post on the reel and a hinge slot at the rear of the rod body. The hinge post is inserted into the hinge slot and connected via a hinge shaft. Due to the eccentric arrangement of the hinge post and reel, during repeated folding and extending of the reel and multi-section telescopic rod body, especially after a fish is hooked, the hinge post bears stress in addition to the multi-section telescopic rod body. Because of the eccentric arrangement of the hinge post and reel, and the fish's movement in the water during pulling, the forces acting on it are irregular, making it prone to breakage. This can result in rod breakage, line breakage, and fish loss. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective structure for a folding fishing rod that can reinforce the hinge post, thereby effectively preventing the hinge post from breaking.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a protective structure for a folding fishing rod. The protective structure includes a fishing reel cover and a rod body connector. The fishing reel cover and the rod body connector are hinged together by a folding assembly. The folding assembly includes a hinge post at one end of the fishing reel cover. The rod body connector has hinge plates on both sides corresponding to the hinge post. Both the hinge post and the hinge plates have hinge holes. The hinge post is inserted between the two hinge plates and connected to the hinge holes through a hinge shaft. A support plate is provided inside the hinge post. The upper part of the support plate has a support hole coaxial with the hinge hole of the hinge post. The lower part of the support plate extends towards the fishing reel cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the support plate, the hinge column, and the fishing reel cover are integrally injection molded.

[0008] Furthermore, the end face of the fishing reel cover includes a lower horizontal section, a lower inclined section, and a lower arc-shaped section. The hinge post is located in the middle between the lower inclined section and the lower arc-shaped section, and the hinge post is located on the side close to the lower arc-shaped section.

[0009] Furthermore, the end face of the rod body connector includes an upper horizontal section, an upper inclined section, and an upper arc-shaped section. The hinge post is located on both sides between the upper inclined section and the upper arc-shaped section, and the hinge plate is located on the side close to the upper horizontal section.

[0010] Furthermore, the folding assembly also includes a folding cavity on the other side of the fishing reel cover. The outer wall of the folding cavity has an opening and closing groove, and a fixed opening and closing hole is provided between the folding cavity and the opening and closing groove. A folding buckle is provided in the fixed opening and closing hole, and a folding spring that cooperates with the folding buckle is provided in the folding cavity. An opening and closing plate that cooperates with the opening and closing groove is provided on the other side of the rod body connector. The opening and closing plate has a movable opening and closing hole that cooperates with the folding buckle.

[0011] Furthermore, reinforcing grooves are provided on both sides of the hinged column.

[0012] Furthermore, the support piece includes a connecting section with the support hole and an extension section connected to the top cover of the fishing reel, with a transition section between the connecting section and the extension section.

[0013] Furthermore, the transition section is provided with reinforcing protrusions with a circular or elliptical cross-section.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1: This example discloses a protective structure for a folding fishing rod, referring to... Figures 1-4 The fishing reel includes a top cover 1 and a rod body connector 2. The top cover 1 and the rod body connector 2 are hinged together by a folding assembly 3. The folding assembly 3 includes a hinge post 31 at one end of the top cover 1. The rod body connector 2 has hinge plates 32 on both sides corresponding to the hinge post 31. Both the hinge post 31 and the hinge plates 32 have hinge holes. The hinge post 31 is inserted between the two hinge plates 32 and connected to the hinge hole through a hinge shaft 33. The hinge post 31 has a... The support plate 34 has a support hole 341 on its upper part, which is coaxial with the hinge hole of the hinge post 31. The lower part of the support plate 34 extends towards the upper cover 1 of the fishing reel. By vertically setting the support plate 34 inside the hinge post 31 and extending its lower end towards the upper cover 1 of the fishing reel, it can strengthen the hinge post 31 and prevent breakage caused by irregular force (stress concentration). This avoids situations such as broken rods, broken lines, and lost fish due to the breakage of the hinge post 31.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 The support plate 34, the hinge column 31, and the fishing reel cover 1 are integrally injection molded. In this embodiment, the hinge column 31 and the fishing reel cover 1 are preferably made of plastic material, while the support plate 34 is preferably made of metal material. During molding, the support plate 34 is first placed in the mold cavity, and then the glue is injected. After cooling, the mold is demolded to achieve the purpose of integral injection molding. After the support plate 34, the hinge column 31, and the fishing reel cover 1 are injection molded into an integral structure, in addition to the reinforcement effect of the support plate 34 itself, its integral structure can further improve the reinforcement effect of the hinge column 31.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 The end face of the fishing reel cover 1 includes a lower horizontal section 11, a lower inclined section 12, and a lower arc-shaped section 13. The hinge post 31 is located in the middle between the lower inclined section 12 and the lower arc-shaped section 13. The hinge post 31 is located on the side near the lower arc-shaped section 13. The end face of the rod body connector 2 includes an upper horizontal section 21, an upper inclined section 22, and an upper arc-shaped section 23. The hinge post 31 is located on both sides between the upper inclined section 22 and the upper arc-shaped section 23. The hinge plate 32 is located on the side near the upper horizontal section 21. The lower horizontal section 11, the lower inclined section 12, and the lower arc-shaped section 13 are respectively installed correspondingly to the upper horizontal section 21, the upper inclined section 22, and the upper arc-shaped section 23, so that the rod body connector 2 and the fishing reel cover 1 make accurate and tight contact after unfolding. When the rod body connector 2 rotates relative to the fishing reel cover 1, the upper arc-shaped section 23 cooperates with the lower arc-shaped section 13 to facilitate rotation, folding, and unfolding.

[0027] Reference Figures 2-4 The folding assembly 3 further includes a folding cavity 35 located on the other side of the fishing reel cover 1. The outer wall of the folding cavity 35 has an opening and closing groove 36. A fixing opening and closing hole 37 is provided between the folding cavity 35 and the opening and closing groove 36. A folding buckle is provided inside the fixing opening and closing hole 37. A folding spring that cooperates with the folding buckle is provided inside the folding cavity 35. The other side of the rod body connector 2 has an opening and closing plate 38 that cooperates with the opening and closing groove 36. The opening and closing plate 38 has a movable part that cooperates with the folding buckle. When folding, press the folding buckle to separate the movable opening hole 39 from the folding buckle. Then, rotate the rod body connector 2 at the center of the hinge shaft 33 to disengage the opening plate 38 from the opening groove 36. Continue to rotate to fold the rod body connector 2 and the fishing reel relative to each other. The folded fishing rod saves space. When unfolding, rotate the rod body connector 2 to insert the opening plate 38 into the opening groove 36, and fasten the movable opening hole 39 and the folding buckle under the action of the folding spring. Then you can cast the rod to fish.

[0028] Reference Figure 3The hinge post 31 has reinforcing grooves 311 on both sides. By opening reinforcing grooves 311 on both sides of the hinge post 31, the outside of the hinge post 31 can be strengthened. The reinforcing grooves 311 cooperate with the support plate 34 inside the hinge post 31 to form an internal and external cooperation to strengthen the support, and further improve the effect of preventing the hinge post 31 from breaking.

[0029] Example 2, refer to Figure 5 The support plate 34 includes a connecting section 342 with the support hole 341 and an extension section 343 connected to the fishing reel cover 1. A transition section 344 is provided between the connecting section 342 and the extension section 343. The width of the support plate 34 gradually narrows from the connecting section 342, the transition section 344 to the extension section 343. The transition section 344 is provided with a reinforcing protrusion 345 with a circular or elliptical cross section. Based on the fracture of most of the hinge posts 31 in actual applications, it is found that irregular twisting fracture is most likely to occur in the middle position. Therefore, this embodiment provides a reinforcing protrusion 345 in the transition section 344 of the support plate 34 (corresponding to the middle position of the hinge post 31), which can specifically strengthen the strength of the support plate 34 and further prevent the hinge post 31 from breaking.
