Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model discloses a counterweight (lead ball) connector, belonging to the technical field of deep-sea trolling equipment, specifically relating to a deep-sea trolling counterweight connector. Background Technology
[0002] A sea fishing reel (also known as an electric reel or electric rod reel) is a commonly used auxiliary device in sea fishing, mainly used in deep-sea fishing, boat fishing, or trolling where large fish need to be targeted. Its core function is to help release the hook to the ideal depth of the sea, which is especially advantageous in deep water or when fighting large fish.
[0003] In some sea fishing situations, a shot put is necessary. It's an important piece of auxiliary equipment, primarily used to control the sinking speed of the rig, stabilize the bait's position, and detect fish activity. Traditionally, shot puts are directly connected via a cable, which presents the following problems:
[0004] 1. Using a cable directly will cause the cable to twist, making it impossible to quickly connect or release the shot put;
[0005] 2. When the cable is retracted to the end, the connector may become stuck in the pulley of the cable lowering machine;
[0006] 3. Because the shot put has a certain weight, and the cable is directly connected to the shot put with only one bearing point, there is almost no cushioning between the cable and the shot put, resulting in a large sinking pressure on the shot put. At the same time, the installation of the cable and the shot put is very troublesome.
[0007] 4. When the lower cable machine uses large-sized pulleys, the large gaps in the pulleys cause the lead ball connector to become stuck in the lower cable machine pulley due to lack of cushioning. Utility Model Content
[0008] Purpose of the utility model: To provide a deep-sea trolling counterweight connector to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0009] Technical solution: A deep-sea trolling counterweight connector, comprising: a line winder, a rubber sleeve, a cylindrical soft stop, and a stainless steel rotatable pin;
[0010] The winding device consists of a base and a cover. The winding device is sleeved on the end of the rubber sleeve. The cylindrical soft stop is located at the front end of the rubber sleeve. The stainless steel rotatable pin is connected to the tail end of the winding device.
[0011] The cable passes sequentially through the cylindrical soft stop, the rubber sleeve, the winder, and the stainless steel rotatable pin. The cable passes sequentially through each hole in the base of the winder and through the stainless steel rotatable pin that is already fitted onto the winder. Finally, the cover of the winder is pressed together. The other end of the rotatable pin is connected to a lead ball.
[0012] In a further embodiment, the base and the cover are flip-top type, and the head of the base and the head of the cover are connected.
[0013] The base is provided with a first wiring groove, a second wiring groove and a third wiring groove that run from the head to the tail. The cover is provided with a first pressure block, a second pressure block and a third pressure block that correspond to the positions of the first wiring groove, the second wiring groove and the third wiring groove and are structurally matched.
[0014] In a further embodiment, the cover is provided with a locking hole, and the cover is provided with a locking post that corresponds to the position of the locking hole and is structurally compatible.
[0015] In a further embodiment, the base is provided with a lifting ring at its tail.
[0016] In a further embodiment, the end of the winder is fitted inside the rubber sleeve, and the two ends of the rubber sleeve have through holes to allow the cable to pass through the rubber sleeve and enter the winder.
[0017] In a further embodiment, the lifting ring is provided with a fourth cable routing groove. The cable enters through the end hole of the first cable routing groove and exits through the tail hole of the first cable routing groove. Then, it passes around the fourth cable routing groove, passes through the stainless steel rotatable pin, enters through the tail hole of the third cable routing groove, and exits through the end hole of the third cable routing groove. Finally, it enters through the end hole of the second cable routing groove and exits through the tail hole of the second cable routing groove.
[0018] In a further embodiment, the surface of the cylindrical soft stop is provided with multiple grooves to form a layered structure.
[0019] In a further embodiment, the stainless steel rotatable pin consists of a swivel and a hook, with rotating rings at both ends of the swivel connecting the hanging ring and the hook respectively, and a lead ball connected to the tail of the hook.
[0020] Beneficial effects: This utility model protects the cable and the pulley of the lowering cable machine by using a cable winder, rubber sleeve, cylindrical soft stop, and stainless steel rotatable pin, and ensures a smooth and easy connection between the sinking cable and the sinking shot. The combination of the cable winder and rubber sleeve can fix the cable and provide upper protection. The cylindrical soft stop protects the connection between the lowering cable machine pulley and the shot connector, acting as a buffer to prevent collision or accidental embedding. The stainless steel rotatable pin allows for quick connection of the shot. The stable connection greatly reduces the risk of detachment and improves the success rate of catching.

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0034] A deep-sea trolling counterweight connector includes: a line winder 1, a rubber sleeve 2, a cylindrical soft stop 3, and a stainless steel rotatable pin 4.
[0035] The stainless steel rotating pin is rust-free and can quickly connect or release lead balls. The swivel prevents the cable from twisting.
[0036] The rubber sleeve, made of softer rubber, prevents the connector from getting stuck in the lower cable pulley when the cable is retracted to the end.
[0037] The cable winder, by passing through multiple holes in a short distance, effectively distributes the weight of the cable at multiple points, providing a buffering effect. Furthermore, the cable ends are knot-free; simply closing the winder cap secures the cable firmly. The connection between the cable and the shot put can be completed without any tools.
[0038] A cylindrical soft stop is needed when the lower cable machine uses a larger pulley of a different specification. If the pulley clearance is too large and the winder rubber sleeve is too small, a cylindrical soft stop is required to buffer the pulley and prevent the lead ball connector from getting stuck in the lower cable machine pulley.
[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the winding device 1 consists of a base 5 and a cover 6. The winding device 1 is connected to the end of the rubber sleeve 2. The cylindrical soft stop 3 is located at the front end of the rubber sleeve 2. The stainless steel rotatable pin 4 is connected to the tail end of the winding device 1.
[0040] The cable passes sequentially through the cylindrical soft stop, the rubber sleeve, the winder, and the stainless steel rotatable pin. The cable passes sequentially through each hole in the base of the winder and through the stainless steel rotatable pin that is already fitted onto the winder. Finally, the cover of the winder is pressed together. The other end of the rotatable pin is connected to a lead ball.
[0041] Specifically, based on Figure 9As shown, first pass the cable, about 60cm long, through the cylindrical soft stop, then through the rubber sleeve. Insert the stainless steel rotatable pin into the winding ring. The three holes on the top of the winding ring are the holes for the first cable routing groove 7, the second cable routing groove 8, and the third cable routing groove 9. Insert the cable into the top hole of the first cable routing groove, and pull out 15cm of cable from the bottom hole. Next, simultaneously pass the cable through the ring 15 and the swivel of the stainless steel rotatable pin 4, then upwards into the bottom hole of the third cable routing groove 9, and pull it out from the top hole and insert it into the top hole of the second cable routing groove 8. Pull the cable until it passes through the bottom hole. Combine the cover and base, securely clamping the cable. Then pull both ends of the cable until taut, ensuring the cable is fixed in the fourth cable routing groove on the winding ring. Fit the rubber sleeve onto the top of the winding ring 1 and test pull. Once the cable is secure, a lead ball can be added.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the base 5 and the cover 6 are flip-top type, and the head of the base 5 and the head of the cover 6 are connected.
[0043] The base 5 is provided with a first wiring groove 7, a second wiring groove 8 and a third wiring groove 9 that run from the head to the tail. The cover 6 is provided with a first wire pressing block 10, a second wire pressing block 11 and a third wire pressing block 12 that correspond to the positions of the first wiring groove 7, the second wiring groove 8 and the third wiring groove 9 and are structurally matched.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the cover 6 is provided with a locking hole 13, and the cover 6 is provided with a locking post 14 that corresponds to the position of the locking hole 13 and is structurally compatible.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the base 5 has a hanging ring 15 at its tail.
[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the end of the winder 1 is fitted inside the rubber sleeve 2, and the two ends of the rubber sleeve 2 have through holes to allow the cable to pass through the rubber sleeve 2 and enter the winder 1.
[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the surface of the cylindrical soft stop 3 is provided with multiple grooves to form a layered structure.
[0048] In a further embodiment, the stainless steel rotatable pin 4 consists of a swivel and a hook. The two ends of the swivel are provided with rotating rings, which are respectively connected to the hanging ring and the hook. The tail of the hook is connected to a lead ball.
[0049] Working principle: When working, the cable first passes through the through hole of the cylindrical soft stop, then through the through hole on the rubber sleeve 2 into the winder, and then the cable is wound (e.g. Figures 8 to 9 As shown), open the winding device 1. The cable first enters through the end hole of the first cable routing groove 7 on the base and exits through the tail hole of the first cable routing groove 7. Next, it passes around the fourth cable routing groove 16 on the bottom hanging ring 15, passes through the stainless steel rotatable pin 4, enters through the tail hole of the third cable routing groove 9, and exits through the end hole of the third cable routing groove 9. Finally, it enters through the end hole of the second cable routing groove 8 and exits through the tail hole of the second cable routing groove 8. Then, close the base 5 and the cover plate 6, and the first cable pressing block 10 and the second cable pressing block 10... Line block 11 and third pressure block 12 cooperate with the first cable routing groove 7, the second cable routing groove 8, and the third cable routing groove 9 to press the cable down. At the same time, the base 5 and the cover plate 6 are fixed through the locking hole 13 and the locking post 14. Thus, the winder 1 achieves multi-point load bearing, disperses the load pressure of the cable, and plays a certain buffering role. Meanwhile, the cable end does not need to be knotted. As long as the winder is closed, the cable can be firmly fixed. Finally, the winder 1 is connected to the rubber sleeve 2, and the stainless steel rotatable pin 4 is connected to the lead ball at the end, thus completing the overall installation.
[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
