Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fishing gear technology, and in particular relates to a live fish catcher. Background Technology

[0002] A live fish catcher is a tool used to temporarily restrain live fish while fishing, primarily in lure fishing or other situations where it's necessary to keep the fish alive. It works by securing the fish's lower jaw or lips to a specially designed catch, allowing the fish to swim freely in the water without dying, thus extending its lifespan and allowing the angler to continue fishing or release it.

[0003] Existing live fish catches work by using a reel to wind up the fishing line and then securing the fish with the line. However, these catches are limited in function and cannot lock the line on the reel according to specific needs. If the reel fails to lock the line, the line may loosen or even come off completely when the fish swims or struggles, resulting in a lost catch. For example, when fishing for large fish, if the line is not locked, the fish may struggle violently and break free of the catch, causing the angler to lose the fish. To solve these problems, designing a live fish catcher is essential. Utility Model Content

[0016] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0017] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0018] The preferred embodiment of the live fish buckle provided by this utility model is shown in Figures 1 to 14. Figure 5 As shown: A live fish catcher includes an outer shell 1, inside which a winding wheel 4 is rotatably mounted. The winding wheel 4 is hollow inside. A line outlet hole 5 is provided on the outer shell 1. Fishing line is wound on the winding wheel 4 and passes through the line outlet hole 5. A bushing 6 is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer shell 1. A spline groove is provided inside the bushing 6. A ratchet 7 is fixedly mounted on the bushing 6. A protective cover 8 is fixedly mounted on the outer shell 1. The ratchet 7 is located in the protective cover 8. A pawl 9 is rotatably mounted on the outer shell 1. An elastic piece 10 is fixedly connected between the pawl 9 and the protective cover 8. An inner shaft 11 passes through the outer shell 1, passes through the winding wheel 4, and engages with the winding wheel 4 through a spline. A control mechanism is provided on the outer shell 1 to drive the inner shaft 11 to move.

[0019] The outer casing 1 has an upper protrusion 2 fixedly mounted on its upper end, and a hanging hole 3 is provided on the upper protrusion 2. All corners of the outer casing 1 are rounded. The control mechanism includes a frame 12 fixedly mounted on the outer casing 1, a turntable 13 rotatably mounted on the frame 12, an electric telescopic rod 14 fixedly mounted on the turntable 13, and an output end of the electric telescopic rod 14 rotatably mounted on an inner shaft 11. The electric telescopic rod 14 is controlled by a controller mounted on the turntable 13. A spline 15 is fixedly mounted on the inner shaft 11. A protrusion 16 is provided on the turntable 13, and multiple limit switches 17 arranged in a circular array are fixedly mounted inside the frame 12. An indicator 18 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the turntable 13, and multiple markers 19 arranged in a circular array are fixedly mounted on the outside of the frame 12. The protective cover 8 has a limiting groove inside, and multiple limiting blocks 20 are fixedly installed at the end of the inner shaft 11. The limiting blocks 20 can be inserted into the limiting groove.

[0020] The live fish catcher of this application has three working modes, including ratchet mode, free mode, and drag mode. When working in ratchet mode, rotating the turntable 13 drives the protrusion 16 to contact one of the limit switches 17 and triggers the limit switch 17. The limit switch 17 connects the controller circuit of the electric telescopic rod 14 and controls the electric telescopic rod 14 to work. The electric telescopic rod 14 drives the spline 15 on the inner shaft 11 to engage with the spline of the ratchet 7, while the limit block 20 separates from the limit groove in the protective cover 8. At this time, with the cooperation of the ratchet pawl, the reel 4 can only rotate in one direction, and the line can be pulled but the fishing line cannot be retrieved.

[0021] In free mode, rotating the turntable 13 causes the protrusion 16 to contact other limit switches 17. Similarly, the electric telescopic rod 14 causes the spline 15 on the inner shaft 11 to completely disengage from the ratchet 7, allowing the winding wheel 4 to rotate freely and perform winding and unwinding operations.

[0022] In drag mode, rotating the turntable 13 causes the protrusion 16 to contact other limit switches 17. Similarly, the electric telescopic rod 14 causes the limit block 20 on the inner shaft 11 to engage with the limit groove in the cover 8, which can lock the winding wheel 4. The winding wheel 4 is locked and cannot rotate, so the live fish buckle can be pulled to drag the fish.

[0023] By switching between ratchet mode, free mode, and drag mode, the live fish catcher can adapt to the needs of different fishing scenarios. Ratchet mode allows only unidirectional line pulling, preventing line reeling and suitable for securing the catch. Free mode allows for free line release and reeling, facilitating quick adjustments to line length. Drag mode completely locks the reel, suitable for dragging the catch or moving the live fish catch. This multi-functional design avoids the drawbacks of traditional live fish catchers with limited functionality, enhancing the device's practicality. Ratchet mode prevents accidental line reeling. In ratchet mode, the reel can only rotate in one direction, preventing accidental line reeling due to fish struggling, ensuring the catch remains securely fixed and reducing the risk of loss or injury. In drag mode, the reel is completely locked, suitable for dragging the catch or moving the live fish catch, preventing the catch from escaping due to loose line.
