Description

Technical Field

[0001] A bubble float, this utility model belongs to the field of fishing gear technology, specifically relating to the field of bubble float technology. Background Technology

[0002] In fishing, the float, as a key fishing tackle accessory, plays a vital role in transmitting the dynamics of a fish biting the hook. Traditional floats have many drawbacks: structurally, the connection between the float stem, float head, and float body is prone to loosening, affecting the stability of signal transmission; unsuitable material selection leads to easy deformation of the float stem and poor sensitivity of the float head, making it difficult to accurately detect subtle fish bites; and the limited structural design makes them unsuitable for different waters, fish species, and fishing scenarios. As fishing enthusiasts demand a higher level of fishing experience, there is an urgent need for a new type of float that is structurally stable, provides accurate signals, and is highly adaptable. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a bubble float, thereby creating a bubble float with a scientific and reasonable structural design, excellent performance in signal transmission accuracy, durability and adaptability to use scenarios, helping anglers to increase the catch rate and optimize the fishing experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A bubble float includes a float body, a float foot, and a float head. The ends of the float foot and the float head are joined inside the float body. Fixed coils extending from both sides of the float are wound around the joint of the float foot and the float head. The float foot is made of stainless steel, and the float head is made of fiberglass material.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the float body is configured as a transparent spherical structure.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the float body is configured as a transparent spindle shape.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the shape of the float body is a transparent streamlined shape that is round in the front and pointed in the back or pointed in the front and round in the back.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the float head is composed of a sensitivity adjustment zone and a blunting adjustment zone, and the surface of the blunting adjustment zone is provided with an annular groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the end of the float foot furthest from the float body is designed as a cone shape.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by using the connection method of internal docking and fixed coil winding in the float body, the connection between the float foot and the float head is greatly improved, reducing the probability of float damage caused by parts falling off, significantly extending the service life of the float, and reducing the cost of replacing fishing gear for anglers.

[0012] The stainless steel float stem ensures that subtle changes in tension are accurately transmitted when a fish bites, allowing anglers to clearly detect fish bites and not miss the opportunity to hook a fish.

[0013] The float head is made of fiberglass and features both sensitivity and insensitivity adjustment zones, allowing for flexible adjustment of sensitivity based on actual fishing conditions (such as the biting force of different fish species and the speed of water flow). When adjusting for sensitivity, the sensitivity zone captures weak signals; when adjusting for insensitivity, the insensitivity zone and annular groove structure stabilize the float head, filtering out some interfering signals and improving the effectiveness and accuracy of fish bite signals.

[0014] The float comes in a variety of shapes. The spherical structure is suitable for still water, shallow water, and scenarios where visibility of the float is important. The spindle-shaped structure performs well in water with some current and when balancing buoyancy and stability is required. The streamlined structure is suitable for waters with strong currents and where rapid signal feedback is desired, meeting the needs of different fishing scenarios and fish species.

[0015] The tapered design at the tip of the float simplifies the connection with other fishing gear and improves the efficiency of rig assembly. The adjustable sensitivity and insensitivity zones of the float head allow anglers to quickly adjust according to the actual fishing conditions without changing the float, adapting to different water conditions and greatly enhancing the flexibility of use and adaptability to complex fishing environments.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A bubble float, comprising a float body 1, a float stem 2, and a float head 3, has the following specific technical features:

[0023] Component connection and fixing

[0024] The ends of the float stem 2 and the float head 3 are joined inside the float body 1, and a fixing coil 6 extending to both sides is wound around the joint. The fixing coil 6 is made of high-strength, wear-resistant fishing line. The tension is strictly controlled during the winding process to ensure a firm connection and effectively prevent the float stem 2 and the float head 3 from separating during use, thus ensuring the structural stability of the float.

[0025] Material selection

[0026] The float stem 2 is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has excellent strength and toughness, and is not easily deformed in complex underwater environments and under frequent stress, providing a solid foundation for the stable and accurate transmission of fish bite signals.

[0027] The float head 3 is made of fiberglass. Fiberglass is lightweight and can sensitively respond to subtle changes in tension caused by a fish biting the hook; at the same time, it is strong and can withstand repeated bending and other operations, ensuring the stability of the float head's structure and performance.

[0028] Floating Body Structure 1

[0029] The float body 1 comes in various shapes, all made of transparent material, allowing anglers to easily observe the internal bubble state and fish bites:

[0030] It can be designed as a transparent spherical structure, with a simple shape, good flowability in water, and high visual recognition.

[0031] It can also be designed as a transparent spindle shape. The spindle-shaped structure has both buoyancy and stability, making it suitable for various aquatic environments.

[0032] It can also adopt a transparent streamlined design with a round front and pointed back or a pointed front and round back. This type of shape has less resistance when moving in water, and can more accurately and quickly reflect the position and buoyancy changes caused by the fish biting the hook, thus improving the signal feedback efficiency.

[0033] Float head 3-part subdivision structure

[0034] The float head 3 consists of a sensitivity adjustment zone 31 and a sensitivity adjustment zone 32. The sensitivity adjustment zone 31 is used to achieve high-sensitivity signal capture. When it is necessary to observe subtle fish movements, such as small fish gently biting or wary fish testing the waters, the sensitivity adjustment zone can be used more. The sensitivity adjustment zone 32 has an annular groove on its surface. Its functions are twofold: first, to increase the structural recognizability and make it easier for anglers to quickly locate the adjustment area; second, to provide a point of leverage for hand operation or auxiliary tools during sensitivity adjustment, making it easier to accurately control the degree of sensitivity adjustment, and to meet the sensitivity requirements of different fish situations, such as when a large fish takes the hook or when a school of fish is competing for food, so as to avoid false signals.

[0035] Float foot 2 end structure

[0036] The end of the float stem 2 furthest from the float body 1 is machined into a cone shape 5. The cone shape design makes it easier to connect the float stem 2 to other fishing tackle components such as fishing line and connectors. When inserted into the connection part, it is smooth and stable, and it is not easy to slip or loosen after connection, ensuring the reliability of the entire fishing rig connection.

[0037] Component manufacturing process

[0038] Floating Foot 2 Processing

[0039] Select stainless steel wire that meets the strength and toughness standards, cut it according to the design length, and use precision grinding equipment to process the end away from the float body 1 into a tapered shape 5. During the grinding process, strictly control the taper and surface smoothness to ensure smooth connection with other fishing gear parts and avoid sharp edges damaging fishing lines and other accessories.

[0040] Making the Floating Head 3

[0041] The float head 3 blank is manufactured using glass fiber prepreg through a molding process. After molding, the float head 3 is divided into a sensitivity adjustment zone 31 and a desensitization adjustment zone 32 using high-precision cutting equipment. An annular groove is then machined on the surface of the desensitization adjustment zone 32 using processes such as laser engraving. Subsequently, the float head 3 undergoes grinding and polishing to ensure a smooth surface and reduce underwater resistance and signal interference.

[0042] Floating body 1 molding

[0043] Depending on the selected float body shape (spherical, spindle-shaped, streamlined, etc.), a transparent, high-transmittance fishing-grade plastic material with certain buoyancy and toughness is selected and manufactured using injection molding. After molding, the appearance is trimmed and cleaned to ensure the transparency and structural integrity of the float body.

[0044] Fixed coil 6 preparation

[0045] Select suitable high-strength fishing line, cut it to the designed length, and pre-stretch it to eliminate internal stress and ensure stable tension of the line during winding.

[0046] II. Assembly and Debugging Process

[0047] Component assembly

[0048] First, precisely align the ends of the float foot 2 and the float head 3, and slowly insert them into the predetermined docking position inside the float body 1. During the process, pay attention to maintaining the coaxiality of the components to avoid skewing that could affect signal transmission.

[0049] After alignment, tightly wrap the fixed coil 6 around the mating part. The number of turns and tension should be strictly in accordance with the design standards. After winding, fix the end of the coil by knotting or applying adhesive to ensure that the coil does not come loose.

[0050] Performance tuning

[0051] Sensitivity Adjustment: Connect the assembled bubble float to the test fishing rig, and apply different pulling forces using a tension testing device to simulate different fish bite strengths, testing the signal feedback in the sensitivity zone 31 and the insensitivity zone 32 respectively. Based on the test data, fine-tune parameters such as the position of the float head 3 within the float body 1 and the winding tension of the coil 6 to ensure accurate and stable signal feedback in both sensitivity and insensitivity settings.

[0052] Buoyancy and stability adjustment: The bubble float was placed in a standard test area, and the buoyancy performance, upright stability, and signal feedback delay of the float body 1 were observed under different water currents and depths. For any issues identified, the material density of the float body 1 and the weight ratio between the float stem 2 and the float head 3 were adjusted to ensure stable performance of the bubble float in actual fishing scenarios.

[0053] Three practical operation

[0054] When using this float, anglers can choose the appropriate float body shape 1 based on the actual fishing environment, such as still / flowing water, shallow / deep water, target fish species (small / large, wary / newly biting), and adjust the sensitivity by changing the depth of the float head 3 in either the sensitivity zone 31 or the insensitivity zone 32. Utilizing the conical structure 5 at the end of the float stem 2, the float can be quickly assembled with the fishing line, connector, etc., into a fishing rig. After casting into the water, the transparent nature of the float body 1 allows for observation of the internal bubbles and fish bite signals, enabling anglers to detect bites and improve fishing success rates and overall experience.

[0055] This bubble float, through its scientific structural design, high-quality material selection, and meticulous manufacturing and debugging process, provides anglers with a high-performance and highly adaptable fishing tackle accessory, helping to enhance the fun and catch rate of fishing activities.

[0056] 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.
