Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a control device for a fishing game, including a base 1, on which a mounting bracket 2 and a tension sensor 10 are mounted.

[0024] A torque control motor 4 is fixed on the mounting bracket 2. The output shaft of the torque control motor 4 is connected to the fishing line storage device 3. The torque control motor 4 can drive the fishing line storage device 3 to rotate. A linear motor 5 is mounted on the mounting bracket 2. A guide ring 7 is connected to the output shaft of the linear motor 5. The linear motor 5 can drive the guide ring 7 to move left and right.

[0025] The tension sensor 10 is connected to a line direction changing guide ring 9. One end of the fishing line 20 is connected to the fishing line storage device 3, and the other end of the fishing line 20 is connected to the fishing rod and fishing reel. The fishing line 20 passes through the guide ring 7 and the line direction changing guide ring 9. Pulling the fishing line 20 can apply tension to the line direction changing guide ring 9. The tension sensor 10 can detect the tension applied by the fishing line 20 to the line direction changing guide ring 9 and send the information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller can control the torque control motor 4 and the linear motor 5 to work.

[0026] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of various components, the microcontroller provides the following basic instructions during specific use.

[0027] Reeling in the line: The torque control motor 4 rotates forward according to specified parameters, while the linear motor 5 drives the guide ring 7 to move left and right, allowing the fishing line 20 to be evenly wound around the fishing line storage device 3. During operation, the tension of the fishing line 20 on the line-out direction changing guide ring 9 is monitored in real time. If the tension is too low, it indicates that the fishing line 20 is not taut, and the operation is stopped to prevent the line from breaking. If the tension is too high, it indicates that the fishing line 20 has been completely retrieved or that the fishing line 20 has become entangled in other objects, and the operation is stopped to prevent accidental injury.

[0028] Line release: Due to the inherent resistance of the motor and mechanical device, a weak reverse drive current is applied to the torque control motor 4 to keep it stationary when not under tension. As soon as the torque control motor 4 is subjected to even a slight force, it reverses to release the line. During operation, the tension of the fishing line 20 on the line-release direction guide ring 9 is monitored in real time. If the tension is too low, it indicates that the fishing line is not taut, and operation is stopped to prevent line breakage. Simultaneously, the reverse speed is monitored. If the speed is too high, the drive current is reduced to prevent line breakage due to a mismatch between the line release speed and the motor speed of the torque control motor 4 caused by the inertia of the mechanical device itself.

[0029] The microcontroller receives the movement data of the fish in the game via Bluetooth or serial communication, and controls the forward and reverse rotation of motor 4 by driving torque to simulate the relevant force feedback.

[0030] Casting: The torque-controlled motor has a 4-line-retrieving mode, which retrieves the line from the player's fishing reel into this mechanical device, allowing the player to feel the bait carrying the fishing line as it flies out.

[0031] Lure control: In the line release mode of the torque control motor 4, the player cranks the fishing reel to retrieve the fishing line with minimal resistance. Simultaneously, the speed of the torque control motor 4 and the tension detected by the tension sensor 10 are uploaded to the game to determine if the player is performing lure control actions such as jerking, even retrieval, or rapid retrieval.

[0032] Biting: The torque control motor 4 alternates between reeling and releasing modes, rotating forward with a certain torque and pausing for a specified time. The sudden appearance and disappearance of the tension is transmitted through the fishing line 20 to the fishing rod, creating a vibration effect. This simulates the fish's sudden lunge to attack the bait.

[0033] Playing the fish: The torque control motor has four reel-in and let-out modes, which appear as needed. In the game logic, when a fish tries to escape, it sends a reel-in command and adds the required torque, preventing the player from reeling in the line or even actively pulling the line off the reel. When the fish is exhausted, the torque output is reduced, providing resistance so the player feels the fish's weight when reeling in. Simultaneously, changing the torque output and reel-in / let-out mode during the fish-playing process simulates the escape behavior of different fish species.

[0034] This device can simulate the forces of a fish biting the hook, struggling, and trying to escape, providing a realistic fishing feel when used with a fishing rod.

[0035] In this embodiment, a linear motor mounting base 6 is provided on the mounting bracket 2, and the linear motor 5 is mounted on the linear motor mounting base 6. The linear motor mounting base 6 is provided in this embodiment for mounting the linear motor 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, a support base 11 is provided on the base 1, and a guide ring 12 is provided on the support base 11. The guide ring 12 is located to the left of the tension sensor 10, and the height of the guide ring 12 is higher than the height of the lead-out direction changing guide ring 9.

[0037] A gantry frame 13 is provided on the base 1, and a slider 14 is slidably provided on the gantry frame 13. A slider driving assembly 15 is provided on the gantry frame 13, and the slider driving assembly 15 can drive the slider 14 to move left and right. A second guide ring 16 is provided on the slider 14. After the fishing line 20 changes direction and passes through the guide ring 9, it passes through the first guide ring 12 and the second guide ring 16 in sequence.

[0038] In this embodiment, guide ring 12 and guide ring 16 are provided to provide the fishing line path, enabling the fishing line to apply tension to the line-out direction changing guide ring 9, thus meeting the detection requirements of the tension sensor 10. Simultaneously, slider 14 is provided to drive guide ring 16 to move left and right, simulating the left-right swaying force after a fish is hooked, further improving the feel of the fishing game. In this embodiment, the slider drive assembly 15 uses existing technology; as long as it can drive the slider 14 to move, it is sufficient and will not be elaborated further.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 2 is connected to a line guide ring support column 19, and a line guide ring 8 is connected to the line guide ring support column 19. The fishing line 20 passes through the guide ring 7, then through the line guide ring 8, and then through the line direction changing guide ring 9. In this embodiment, the line guide ring 8 is provided between the guide ring 7 and the line direction changing guide ring 9 to guide the fishing line 20.

[0040] In this embodiment, an electromagnetic clamp mounting base 18 is provided on the base 1, and an electromagnetic clamp 17 is provided on the electromagnetic clamp mounting base 18. The electromagnetic clamp 17 is located above the tension sensor 10, and the fishing line 20 passes through the electromagnetic clamp 17. The electromagnetic clamp 17 can clamp the fishing line 20.

[0041] In this embodiment, an electromagnetic clamp 17 is provided. When reeling in the line, the electromagnetic clamp 17 clamps the fishing line, but it does not clamp it completely. It only clamps it to provide friction, which can provide tension when reeling in the line and ensure the flatness of the fishing line 20 stored in the fishing line storage device 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fishing line storage device 3 includes a cylinder with annular baffles connected to both sides and a sealing plate connected to one end. The torque control motor 4 is located inside the cylinder, and its output shaft is connected to the sealing plate. In actual use, one end of the fishing line 20 is connected to the outer wall of the cylinder. When storing the fishing line 20, it is wound around the outer wall of the cylinder. The torque control motor 4 is placed inside the cylinder for containment. During use, the output shaft of the torque control motor 4 rotates, causing the sealing plate to rotate, which in turn drives the fishing line storage device 3 to rotate.

[0043] In this embodiment, all components are controlled by a microcontroller. Microcontroller control technology is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
