Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fishing gear technology, and in particular to a hand-operated fishing reel. Background Technology

[0002] Hand-operated fishing reels are a traditional and popular type of fishing reel, favored by fishing enthusiasts for their simple structure and direct operation. In existing technologies, the structural design of hand-operated reels has always sought a balance between easy disassembly and stable functionality. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN219556042U discloses a hand-operated reel that achieves quick assembly and disassembly by incorporating a one-way fixing cover, a locking knob, and a reel detachably connected to the main body, facilitating maintenance and line replacement.

[0003] While this existing technology solves the problem of overall reel disassembly, its disassembly and brake adjustment functions are structurally separate: disassembling the reel requires unscrewing the locking knob, while the braking function relies on a separate brake assembly and adjusting nut. This functional separation results in relatively cumbersome operation, and the user experience still has room for improvement in scenarios involving frequent disassembly and adjustment. Furthermore, the overall integrity of the structure and the intuitiveness of operation are still insufficient.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for a new type of hand-operated fishing reel structure that integrates quick disassembly and brake adjustment functions more closely and intuitively. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a hand-operated fishing reel.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve its technical purpose is: a hand-operated fishing reel, including a connecting shaft, a reel and a spindle, wherein one side of the reel is fixed to the connecting shaft and rotatably mounted on the spindle, characterized in that: a limiting cap is provided on the other side of the reel, and the limiting cap is entirely sleeved on the spindle; The inner side of the limiting cap is fitted onto the spindle by an elastic clip. A button is provided on one side of the elastic clip. By pressing the button, the two sides of the elastic clip can be opened, so that the limiting cap and the elastic clip can be separated from the spindle. The other side of the inner side of the limiting cap is threaded to the spindle via a brake shaft. The limiting cap moves along the brake shaft on the spindle, which can lock the spool brake. When the button is pressed, the limiting cap and the elastic clip disengage from the spindle, and at the same time, the limiting cap disengages from the brake shaft.

[0007] Preferably, a T-shaped boss is fixedly connected to one end of the mandrel, the boss including a cylindrical end and a frustum end.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic clip includes an I-shaped spring piece, which is provided with two symmetrical spring pieces. One end of the two spring pieces abuts against each other and is pressed against the cylindrical end of the boss through an internal fitting groove, and is in contact with the frustum end of the boss.

[0009] Preferably, the other ends of the two springs are elastically connected inside the limiting cap by springs.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic clip further includes a limiting block, which is located at the top and bottom of the two spring pieces respectively, and maintains a sliding connection with the spring pieces.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic clip further includes a baffle plate, which is attached to one side of the limiting block and the spring sheet, and has a through hole at its middle end, the diameter of which is larger than the maximum diameter of the frustum end of the boss.

[0012] Preferably, the button includes an integrally connected expansion key, which is arranged in an arc-shaped cone structure, with one end of the expansion key located in the gap between two spring pieces.

[0013] Preferably, a retaining ring is provided on the outside of the button, and the retaining ring is fixed to the end face of the limiting cap by bolts, and the retaining ring blocks and restricts the edge part of the button.

[0014] Preferably, a gap is reserved between the edge of the button and the inside of the retaining ring.

[0015] Preferably, the brake shaft is configured as a regular hexagonal shaft, with a connecting sleeve fitted on its outer wall. A retaining ring is provided inside the connecting sleeve, with one end of the retaining ring protruding outside the connecting sleeve. The brake shaft, retaining ring, and connecting sleeve fit together inside the limiting cap on the other side.

[0016] The working principle of this hand-operated fishing reel is as follows: During operation, the reel rotates freely around its spindle to let out or retrieve line. When braking is required, the user rotates the retaining cap. The cap engages with the brake shaft, retaining ring, and connecting sleeve through its internal groove, causing the brake shaft to thread along the spindle. This moves the retaining cap and brake shaft together towards the reel, compressing them and achieving braking through friction. To remove the retaining cap, the user presses a button. The button's release mechanism extends into the gap between two spring contacts, compressing the spring and disengaging the spring contacts from the cylindrical and frustum ends of the boss. At this point, the elastic retainer is released from the spindle. Simultaneously, the groove on the other side of the retaining cap disengages from the brake shaft, connecting sleeve, and retaining ring, allowing the retaining cap to be removed from the spindle. Releasing the button returns the spring contacts to their original position, ready for the next installation and locking.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This hand-operated fishing reel features highly integrated functions and intuitive, convenient operation. By creatively integrating quick disassembly and brake adjustment into a single core component—the limit cap—users can achieve stepless adjustment of the braking force simply by rotating the limit cap without the need for additional tools. The limit cap and its internal components can be quickly disassembled by pressing a button, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving ease of use and efficiency.

[0018] This hand-operated fishing reel achieves reliable axial locking and free circumferential rotation of the limiting cap under normal conditions through the ingenious cooperation of elastic components, including springs, locking grooves, and springs, with the boss on the spindle. Simultaneously, the transmission engagement between the brake shaft, connecting sleeve, and the internal locking groove of the limiting cap precisely converts rotational motion into axial movement, achieving a stable braking function. The linkage between all components is precise and reliable, resulting in a compact structure and strong overall integrity.

[0019] This hand-operated fishing reel features a clever unlocking mechanism and smooth disassembly. Through the integrated design of the button and the spread button, combined with the I-shaped structure and gap of the two springs, the pressing operation can efficiently convert the spreading force into the radial expansion of the springs, thereby instantly releasing the lock from the boss and simultaneously disengaging from the brake shaft side, achieving one-click smooth disassembly and avoiding component jamming.

[0020] This hand-operated fishing reel offers high safety and a superior user experience. The retaining ring effectively prevents the button from accidentally falling off during operation, while the gap between the button and the inside of the retaining ring ensures that the movement of the limit cap is not interfered with by the button when adjusting the brake, thus avoiding misoperation and improving the product's safety and reliability.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. "Several" means one or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" 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. Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4A hand-operated fishing reel includes a connecting shaft 1, a reel 2, and a spindle 3. One side of the reel 2 is fixed to the connecting shaft 1 and rotatably mounted on the spindle 3. The other side of the reel 2 is provided with a limiting cap 5, which is fitted onto the spindle 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inner side of the limiting cap 5 is fitted onto the mandrel 3 by an elastic clip. A button 8 is provided on one side of the elastic clip. By pressing the button 8, the two sides of the elastic clip can be opened, allowing the limiting cap 5 and the elastic clip to detach from the mandrel 3, thus facilitating the subsequent removal of the thread reel 2. Specifically: One end of the spindle 3 is fixedly connected to a T-shaped boss 4, which includes a cylindrical end and a frustum end. The elastic clip fits snugly inside the limiting cap 5 on one side, and includes two symmetrical I-shaped springs 601. One end of the two springs 601 abuts against each other and is pressed against the cylindrical end of the boss 4 through an internal fitting groove 602, while also fitting against the frustum end of the boss 4. The other ends of the two springs 601 are elastically connected inside the limiting cap 5 by a spring 603.

[0032] Due to the I-shaped design of the two spring pieces 601, a gap can be created when one end of the two spring pieces 601 abuts against each other, preventing excessive pressure from the spring pieces 601 on the cylindrical end of the boss 4. Furthermore, through the setting of the fitting groove 602, it can fit with the cylindrical end of the boss 4, allowing the spring pieces 601 to rotate around the cylindrical end of the boss 4, thereby enabling the limiting cap 5 to rotate around the cylindrical end of the boss 4. When the two spring pieces 601 are opened from the gap by pressing the button, the spring 603 is compressed, the distance between the two spring pieces 601 increases, and finally, a gap is created between the two spring pieces 601 that can disengage from the frustum end of the boss 4, allowing the elastic clip to disengage from the spindle 3 along with the limiting cap 5.

[0033] The elastic clip also includes a limiting block 604, which is located at the top and bottom of the two spring pieces 601 respectively and is slidably connected to the spring pieces 601; the limiting block 604 restricts the movement trajectory of the spring pieces 601.

[0034] The elastic clip also includes a baffle 6, which is attached to one side of the limiting block 604 and the spring piece 601, and has a through hole in its middle. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the maximum diameter of the frustum end of the boss 4. The baffle 6 blocks the entire elastic clip inside the limiting cap 5, making the overall structure compact. At the same time, the through hole needs to ensure that the entire elastic clip can pass through the frustum end of the boss 4, so that the limiting cap 5 can be removed from the spindle 3.

[0035] Button 8 includes an integrally connected expansion key 801, which is arranged in an arc-shaped cone structure. One end of the expansion key 801 is located in the gap between two spring pieces 601. By pressing button 8, the expansion key 801 is inserted into the gap between the two spring pieces 601, thereby expanding the two spring pieces 601 and causing the limiting cap 5 and the elastic clip to disengage from the spindle 3.

[0036] A retaining ring 7 is provided on the outside of button 8. The retaining ring 7 is fixed to the end face of the limiting cap 5 by bolts. The retaining ring 7 blocks and restricts the edge part of button 8. Button 8 and the opening key 801 are located inside the elastic clip and retaining ring 7. Since the two spring pieces 601 abut against each other when no external force is applied, the opening key 801 is pushed outward and reset. The edge part of button 8 can abut against the inside of the retaining ring 7, preventing button 8 from coming out of the retaining ring 7. At the same time, the retaining ring 7 can also block the elastic clip inside the limiting cap 5, so that the overall structure will not fall apart.

[0037] It should be noted that there is a gap between the edge of button 8 and the inside of retaining ring 7, so that when retaining ring 7 moves inward, it will not move button 8 with it.

[0038] In this embodiment, the other side of the inner side of the limiting cap 5 is threaded to the spindle 3 via the brake shaft 902. By rotating the limiting cap 5, the limiting cap 5 moves along the spindle 3 with the brake shaft 902, and the limiting cap 5 and the brake shaft 902 move closer to the spool 2, thereby braking and locking the spool 2. Specifically, as follows: The brake shaft 902 is a regular hexagonal shaft, and a connecting sleeve 9 is fitted on its outer wall. A retaining ring 901 is provided inside the connecting sleeve 9. One end of the retaining ring 901 protrudes outside the connecting sleeve 9. The brake shaft 902, the retaining ring 901, and the connecting sleeve 9 fit together inside the limiting cap 5 on the other side. The inner side of the limiting cap 5 has a groove that matches and fits the brake shaft 902, the retaining ring 901, and the connecting sleeve 9. The limiting cap 5 can be removed from the spindle 3 by fitting the groove. Rotating the limiting cap 5 can also drive the screw of the brake shaft 902 to move through the engagement of the retaining ring 901 and the brake shaft 902. This causes the limiting cap 5 and the brake shaft 902 to move together toward the spool 2. The limiting cap 5 and the brake shaft 902 can squeeze the other side of the spool 2, thereby increasing friction and braking the spool 2.

[0039] It should be noted that, since there is a gap between the edge of the button 8 and the inside of the retaining ring 7, the retaining ring 7 will not move with the button 8 when it moves inward with the limiting cap 5, and the area of ​​the button 8 exposed outside the retaining ring 7 is larger.

[0040] When button 8 is pressed, the limiting cap 5 and the elastic clip disengage from the spindle 3, and at the same time, the limiting cap 5 disengages from the brake shaft 902.

[0041] The specific usage procedure for this hand-operated fishing reel: In its normally locked and rotating state, the limiting cap 5 is connected to the spindle 3 through two internal mechanisms. On one side, the elastic clips (mainly composed of two I-shaped spring pieces 601, a spring 603, a limiting block 604, and a baffle 6) are engaged by the preload of the spring 603, causing one end of the two spring pieces 601 to abut against each other. This allows the internal engaging grooves 602 to tightly engage with the cylindrical end of the T-shaped boss 4 on the spindle 3, while the side of the spring piece 601 fits against the frustum end of the boss 4. This design achieves axial locking between the limiting cap 5 and the spindle 3, preventing accidental dislodgement, while also allowing the limiting cap 5 to rotate freely around the cylindrical end of the boss 4. On the other side, the brake shaft 902 is connected to the spindle 3 via threads. Its hexagonal shaft body engages with the external connecting sleeve 9 and retaining ring 901, which in turn engage with corresponding slots inside the limiting cap 5. This allows the brake shaft 902 to rotate and perform threaded transmission when the limiting cap 5 is rotated.

[0042] When brake adjustment is required, the user simply rotates the limiting cap 5. Since the limiting cap 5 and brake shaft 902 are circumferentially linked via the connecting sleeve 9 and retaining ring 901, the rotation of the limiting cap 5 is converted into the threaded movement of the brake shaft 902 on the spindle 3. When tightened inwards, the limiting cap 5 and brake shaft 902 move together towards the spool 2, squeezing the spool 2 from the side and increasing friction to lock the brake; rotating in the opposite direction releases the brake, restoring the spool 2's free rotation.

[0043] When quick disassembly of the limiting cap 5 is required for maintenance or replacement, the user presses button 8. The arc-shaped, cone-shaped opening key 801, integrally connected to button 8, then penetrates the initial gap between the two spring pieces 601, forcibly opening them. This process compresses the spring 603. After the spring pieces 601 are opened, their engaging grooves 602 disengage from the cylindrical end of the boss 4, and simultaneously, the inner surface of the spring pieces 601 separates from the frustum end of the boss 4, thereby releasing the axial lock between the elastic clip and the spindle 3. At the same time, as the limiting cap 5 is pulled outwards, the slot on the other side of its interior also disengages from the brake shaft 902, connecting sleeve 9, and retaining ring 901. Thus, the limiting cap 5, along with its integrated elastic clip, button 8, etc., can be removed from the spindle 3 as a single unit.

[0044] During disassembly, the retaining ring 7 ensures that the button 8 will not come out, while the gap between the button 8 and the retaining ring 7 ensures that the movement of the limiting cap 5 will not be affected by the button 8 during brake adjustment. When the button 8 is released, the compressed spring 603 pushes the two spring pieces 601 to reset, causing them to re-engage with each other, preparing for the next installation and locking.

[0045] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural, procedural, or functional transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
