Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of kite flying poles, specifically, it relates to a fishing rod-type kite pole. Background Technology

[0002] Fishing rod-style kite poles, as key tools connecting kites and operators, are widely used in traditional kite flying and sports kite competitions. Their structural design directly affects the flexibility, portability, and safety of kite control. Existing fishing rod-style kite poles typically consist of a multi-section nested telescopic tube, a handle, and a reel connection structure. The pole length is adjusted by telescoping to accommodate kites of different sizes (e.g., a short pole is needed for small, low-wind kites, while a long pole is needed for large kites to increase the lever arm). The rigidity of the pole is used to transmit control force, enabling the kite to take off, turn, and hover.

[0003] However, existing fishing rod-style kite poles still have the following defects in actual use: 1. The ratchet teeth of the ratchet are mostly right-angled ratchet teeth. When the right-angled ratchet teeth mesh with the locking device, due to their sharp right-angle structure, the point of force application is relatively concentrated. This leads to the generation of large stress in the right-angle part during frequent use. Over a long period of time, the ratchet teeth may develop fatigue cracks or even break, reducing their service life; 2. The locking structure is mostly a push-type locking device. After repeated use, the spring is prone to fatigue, resulting in insufficient elasticity to keep the locking device stably in the locked position, which in turn leads to kite control failure and difficulty in maintaining a stable flight state.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fishing rod-style kite pole to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fishing rod-type kite rod, comprising a reel, a tube, and a line rod. The reel includes an outer reel and an inner reel. The inner reel has evenly distributed arc-shaped pieces at equal angles. One end of each arc-shaped piece is fixed to the edge of the inner reel to form a connection point, and the other end extends inwards into the inner reel. The geometric centers of adjacent arc-shaped pieces form an angle equal to the line connecting the center of the inner reel. The gap between adjacent arc-shaped pieces forms a limiting groove. A circular groove is provided on one side of the tube for fixing the reel. A locking member is provided at the bottom of the tube. The locking member can be engaged in the limiting groove through an opening in the circular groove. Pushing the locking member controls the locking and unlocking of the reel. This utility model provides a stable locking effect when the locking member engages in the limiting groove, preventing the reel from easily detaching. It also offers high compatibility with different kites, high stability during kite line deployment and reeling, and is lightweight for easy carrying and storage.

[0006] This utility model provides a fishing rod-type kite rod, including a reel, which includes an outer reel, an inner reel, and a spool; the inner reel has arc-shaped pieces evenly distributed at equal angles.

[0007] The arc-shaped pieces are evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner disk with the center as the center, forming a regular ring array. The convex arc surface is far away from the center of the inner disk, while the concave arc surface is close to the center of the inner disk.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the arc-shaped piece is fixed to the circumferential edge of the inner disk to form a connection point, and the other end extends into the inner disk. The angle between the geometric centers of adjacent arc-shaped pieces and the center of the inner disk is equal. The gap between adjacent arc-shaped pieces forms a limiting groove.

[0009] Each arc-shaped piece has a center point of symmetry. Draw straight lines from the center of the inner disc (center of the circle) to the center points of symmetry of the two adjacent arc-shaped pieces to form an included angle. The included angles of the adjacent arc-shaped pieces are all equal.

[0010] The inner disc is the ratchet of the fishing rod-style kite rod, and its ratchet teeth are composed of evenly distributed arc-shaped plates at equal angles. Traditional ratchet teeth have linear backs, and the limiting grooves formed between the teeth are fixed (e.g., right-angled ratchet). During frequent use, the limiting grooves and locking components are prone to significant stress, which, over time, can cause cracks or even breakage of the ratchet teeth, reducing their lifespan. In contrast, the arc-shaped plates of this invention differ from traditional ratchet teeth; their backs are arc-shaped, and the limiting grooves formed between adjacent arc-shaped plates are gaps without fixed boundaries. Therefore, ratchet breakage will not occur even after prolonged use. Furthermore, the arc-shaped plates allow the locking component to transition more smoothly on the plates, resulting in a more continuous and stable transmission process. This allows the operator to more precisely control the speed and length of the kite line, improving the stability and accuracy of kite handling.

[0011] Furthermore, the fishing rod-type kite pole also includes a tube rod, with a disc groove on one side and a locking element at the bottom.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the locking member is provided with a latching protrusion, and the disc groove is provided with an opening; the latching protrusion passes through the opening and can be engaged into the limiting groove.

[0013] The front end of the locking protrusion is a bevel, which fits well with the curved surface of the arc-shaped piece and increases the contact area between them. Under the same tensile force, the locking protrusion reduces the pressure per unit area, reduces wear on the arc-shaped piece, and extends its service life. Simultaneously, the larger contact area also means greater friction, which more effectively prevents relative slippage between the locking element and the arc-shaped piece when the kite line is under greater tension, resulting in a more stable locking state.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking member has sliding plates on both sides and cylindrical blocks on the bottom sidewall.

[0015] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on the outer side of the sliding plate; the cylindrical block is used to fix the spring.

[0016] The spring is fixed within a defined area below the locking element. By pushing the locking element backward, the spring deforms. The spring experiences a relatively unidirectional and stable force. During normal operation, the deformation amplitude of the spring is relatively small, and the stress change is relatively gentle, making it less prone to fatigue. This reduces the possibility of spring relaxation, extends the service life of the spring, and enables the locking element to maintain stable working performance for a long time.

[0017] Furthermore, a locking mounting position is provided at the bottom of the cylinder rod, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the locking mounting position; the protrusion is inserted into the sliding groove and can slide within the sliding groove.

[0018] When the locking element is in its original position, the protrusion is forward, and the locking protrusion engages with the limiting groove, locking the reel. When the locking element is pushed backward by hand, the protrusion slides backward in the groove, and the locking protrusion gradually disengages from the limiting groove, unlocking the reel. When the locking element is released or pushed forward, it quickly returns to its original position, the protrusion engages with the limiting groove, and locking the reel.

[0019] When using the aforementioned fishing rod-style kite rod, the operator naturally grips the rod, with the force exerted by the arm and wrist primarily along the back-and-forth motion of the rod. The operating direction of the push-type locking mechanism of this invention (back-and-forth motion along the rod's axis) perfectly coincides with this natural movement, allowing for locking or unlocking of the reel without requiring any additional hand posture changes. Furthermore, the locking mechanism of the push-type locking mechanism relies on the deep engagement of the latch and the limiting groove. The axial force generated by the kite's pulling force actually enhances the engagement stability, unlike the push-type locking mechanism which relies on spring return for locking. Spring fatigue could lead to the locking mechanism accidentally disengaging under excessive pulling force; therefore, this invention avoids this situation.

[0020] Furthermore, the locking member is also provided with a push part, and the end of the push part is provided with an upward protrusion.

[0021] Furthermore, the push-hand part is also provided with anti-slip ripples.

[0022] The design of the push part with anti-slip ripples and an upward protrusion at its end can improve the stability of the fishing rod-type kite rod and prevent slippage when pushing the locking part.

[0023] Furthermore, the reel has a central shaft hole inside, which is connected to the inner edge of the reel via spokes.

[0024] The reel has a hollow interior, which reduces the weight of the fishing rod-style kite rod, reduces operator hand fatigue, and improves control endurance.

[0025] Furthermore, the winding reel also includes a shaft reel with a mandrel at its center; the outer and inner reels are hollow discs, the shaft reel covers the hollow part of the outer reel, and the mandrel passes through the central shaft hole.

[0026] Furthermore, a thread wheel shaft hole is provided at the center of the disc groove; the thread wheel shaft hole is inserted into the central shaft hole, and the mandrel is inserted into the thread wheel shaft hole.

[0027] The insertion of the mandrel into the spool shaft hole and the insertion of the spool shaft hole into the central shaft hole form a double nested positioning system. The outer layer achieves radial (horizontal) coarse positioning through the fit between the spool shaft hole and the central shaft hole, while the inner layer achieves axial (vertical) precise positioning through the fit between the mandrel and the spool shaft hole. This design ensures that the central axis of the winding reel and the disc groove are completely aligned, preventing eccentricity after assembly. This avoids uneven tension during winding, which could lead to uneven tangling of the kite line (such as the line piling up on one side), or even jamming or breakage.

[0028] Furthermore, the fishing rod-type kite pole also includes a line pole, which comprises a first line pole and a second line pole.

[0029] Furthermore, the first rod is connected to the cylinder rod, and the first rod can retract into the cylinder rod; the first rod is connected to the second rod, and the second rod can retract into the first rod.

[0030] The line pole has a multi-section nested structure. On the one hand, the length of the line pole can be adjusted to a wider range to adapt to various usage scenarios. When the size of the kite, the strength of the wind, the height of the flyer, and the operating habits are different, the appropriate length of the line pole can be adjusted according to the actual situation. On the other hand, the multi-section nested structure can compress the length of the entire kite pole, making it easier to store and carry.

[0031] Furthermore, the cylinder rod is provided with a first guide wire hole, the first rod is provided with a second guide wire hole, and the second rod is provided with a third guide wire hole.

[0032] Furthermore, the fishing rod-type kite pole also includes a grip; the outer disc is also provided with a rocker arm grip.

[0033] The kite line on the reel is wound up and unwound by turning the rocker arm handle.

[0034] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. The ratchet teeth of this utility model are composed of arc-shaped pieces evenly distributed at equal angles. The back of the teeth is arc-shaped, and the limiting groove formed by the gap between adjacent arc-shaped pieces has no fixed boundary. Therefore, the arc-shaped pieces are not easy to break and are more suitable for the dynamic tension changes of kite line release and reeling.

[0036] 2. The locking component of this utility model is a push-type locking component. When the locking component is pushed, the deformation amplitude of the spring is relatively small, the stress change is relatively mild, the spring is not prone to fatigue, and the situation of the locking component accidentally disengaging when the tension is too large can be reduced.

[0037] 3. The locking protrusion at the front end of the locking component forms an inclined surface with the front end. This inclined surface increases the contact area between the locking component and the arc-shaped piece, reduces the wear of the arc-shaped piece, extends its service life, and increases the friction between the locking component and the arc-shaped piece, preventing relative sliding between the locking component and the arc-shaped piece, making the locking state more stable.

[0038] 4. The pole has a multi-section nested structure, which allows for a wider range of length adjustments, making it suitable for various usage scenarios and easy to store and carry. Attached Figure Description

[0056] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are intended to facilitate the understanding of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation thereof.

[0057] Example 1: A fishing rod-type kite pole

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, a fishing rod-type kite rod includes a reel 1, a tube 2, a line rod 3, and a handle 4, with the tube 2 and the handle 4 connected as one piece.

[0059] like Figure 2-7As shown, the reel 1 includes an outer reel 5, an inner reel 6, and a spool 7. Arc-shaped pieces 8 are evenly distributed at equal angles on the inner reel 6. These arc-shaped pieces 8 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the inner reel 6, centered on its center 9, forming a regular circular array. The convex arc surface 10 of each arc-shaped piece 8 is away from the center 9 of the inner reel 6, while its concave arc surface 11 is close to the center 9. One end of each arc-shaped piece 8 is fixed to the edge of the inner reel 6, forming a connection point 12. The other end extends into the inner reel 6. The geometric centers 13 (centers of symmetry) of adjacent arc-shaped pieces 8 form an angle 14 with the center 9 (center) of the inner reel 6, and each angle 14 is equal. The gaps between adjacent arc-shaped pieces 8 form limiting grooves 15. The inner disc 6 serves as the ratchet of the fishing rod-style kite rod, with evenly distributed arc-shaped plates 8 forming the ratchet teeth. The backs of these teeth are arc-shaped, and the limiting grooves 15 formed between adjacent arc-shaped plates 8 are gaps without fixed boundaries. Therefore, even with significant stress generated between the limiting grooves 15 and the locking element 22 during frequent use, the arc-shaped plates 8 are less likely to break. Furthermore, the arc-shaped plates 8 allow the locking element 22 to transition more smoothly, resulting in a more continuous and stable transmission process. This allows the operator to more precisely control the speed and length of the kite line, improving the stability and accuracy of kite control. The reel 7 has a central shaft hole 16 inside, which connects to the inner edge of the reel 7 via spokes 17. The reel 7 has a hollow internal structure; both the outer disc 5 and the inner disc 6 are hollow discs, reducing the weight of the fishing rod-style kite rod, minimizing operator hand fatigue, and improving control endurance. The outer disc 5 also features a rocker arm grip 18. The reel 1 also includes a spindle 19, with a spindle 20 disposed at its center. The spindle 19 covers the hollow part of the outer reel 5, and the spindle 20 passes through the central shaft hole 16.

[0060] like Figure 8-13As shown, a disc groove 21 is provided on one side of the cylinder rod 2, and a locking member 22 and a locking mounting position 23 are provided at the bottom. The disc groove 21 has an opening 24, and a locking protrusion 25 is provided at one end of the locking member 22; the locking protrusion 25 passes through the opening 24 and can be engaged with the limiting groove 15. The front end of the locking protrusion 25 is a slope 26, which has a good fit with the arc surface of the arc plate 8 and increases the contact area between the locking protrusion 25 and the arc plate 8. Under the same tensile force, the locking protrusion 25 reduces the pressure per unit area, reduces the wear of the arc plate 8, and extends its service life. At the same time, the larger contact area also means greater friction, which can more effectively prevent relative sliding between the locking member 22 and the arc plate 8 when the kite line is under greater tensile force, making the locking state more stable. A cylindrical block 27 is provided on the bottom side wall of the locking member 22, and the cylindrical block 27 is used to fix the spring 28. Spring 28 is fixed within a defined area below locking member 22. By pushing locking member 22 backward, spring 28 deforms. The force on spring 28 is relatively unidirectional and stable. During normal operation, the deformation amplitude of spring 28 is relatively small, and the stress change is relatively gentle, making it less prone to fatigue. This reduces the possibility of spring 28 loosening, extends its service life, and allows locking member 22 to maintain stable working performance for extended periods. Slide plates 29 are also provided on both sides of locking member 22, with protrusions 30 on the outer sides of the slide plates 29. Locking member 22 also has a push-hand part 31, which has anti-slip ripples 32 and an upward-pointing protrusion 33 at its end. The anti-slip ripples 32 and the upward-pointing protrusion 33 on the push-hand part 31 improve the operational stability of the fishing rod-type kite rod and prevent slippage when pushing locking member 22. The locking mounting position 23 is provided with sliding grooves 34 on both sides, and the protrusion 30 is inserted into the sliding groove 34 and can slide within the sliding groove 34. When the locking member 22 is in its original position, the protrusion 30 is in the front position of the sliding groove 34. At this time, the locking protrusion 25 of the locking member 22 is inserted into the limiting groove 15, and the winding reel 1 is in the locked state. When the locking member 22 is pushed backward by hand, the protrusion 30 slides backward within the sliding groove 34. At this time, the locking protrusion 25 of the locking member 22 gradually disengages from the limiting groove 15, and the winding reel 1 is in the unlocked state. When the locking member 22 is released or pushed forward by hand, the locking protrusion 25 is inserted into the limiting groove 15, and the winding reel 1 is locked.

[0061] When using the aforementioned fishing rod-type kite rod, the operator naturally grips the rod, with the force exerted by the arm and wrist primarily along the back-and-forth motion of the rod. The operating direction of the push-type locking component 22 of this invention (back-and-forth motion along the rod axis) completely coincides with this natural action, allowing for locking or unlocking of the reel 1 without requiring any additional changes to the hand posture. Furthermore, the locking of the push-type locking component 22 relies on the deep engagement of the latch 25 and the limiting groove 15, unlike the push-type locking component which relies on the spring's return mechanism. The axial force generated by the kite's pulling force actually enhances the engagement stability, preventing the locking component from accidentally disengaging even with excessive pulling force.

[0062] like Figure 7-8 As shown, a spool shaft hole 35 is located at the center of the disc groove 21. The spool shaft hole 35 is inserted into the central shaft hole 16, and the mandrel 20 is also inserted into the spool shaft hole 35. The insertion of the mandrel 20 into the spool shaft hole 35 and the insertion of the spool shaft hole 35 into the central shaft hole 16 form a double nested positioning. The outer layer achieves radial (horizontal) coarse positioning through the cooperation of the spool shaft hole 35 and the central shaft hole 16, while the inner layer achieves axial (vertical) precise positioning through the cooperation of the mandrel 20 and the spool shaft hole 35. This design ensures that the winding reel 1 and the central axis of the disc groove 21 are completely aligned, avoiding eccentricity after assembly. This prevents the kite line from winding unevenly due to uneven force, resulting in skewing (such as the line piling up on one side), or even jamming or breaking the line.

[0063] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the line pole 3 includes a first line pole 36 and a second line pole 37. The first line pole 36 is connected to the tube pole 2 and can be retracted into the tube pole 2 and the handle 4; the first line pole 36 is connected to the second line pole 37, and the second line pole 37 can be retracted into the first line pole 36. A first guide ring 38 is provided at the upper end of the tube pole 2, a second guide ring 39 is provided at the top of the first line pole 36, and a third guide ring 40 is provided at the top of the second line pole 37. The line pole 3 has a multi-section nested structure. On the one hand, the length of the line pole 3 has a wider range of adjustment, adapting to diverse usage scenarios. When the size of the kite, the wind strength, the height of the flyer, and the operating habits are different, the appropriate length of the line pole can be adjusted according to the actual situation. On the other hand, the multi-section nested structure can compress the length of the entire kite pole, making it easier to store and carry.

[0064] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0065] 1. Pass the kite line wound on the reel 7 of the spool 1 through the first guide ring 38, the second guide ring 39 and the third guide ring 40 in sequence, and tie them together with the kite; adjust the length of the first rod 36 and the second rod 37.

[0066] 2. Line release operation: Hold the handle 4 with your left hand and push the locking part 22 backward with your thumb. The locking protrusion 25 gradually disengages from the limiting groove 15, and the reel 1 is in the unlocked state. At the same time, turn the rocker arm handle 18 with your right hand to release the line. When the kite flies to a certain height and no longer needs to release the line, release your thumb or push the locking part 22 forward. The locking protrusion 25 engages with the limiting groove 15, and the reel 1 is locked.

[0067] 3. Reeling in the line: Hold the lever 4 with your left hand and push the locking part 22 backward with your thumb. The locking protrusion 25 gradually disengages from the limiting groove 15, and the reel 1 is in the unlocked state. Turn the rocker arm handle 18 in the opposite direction with your right hand to reel in the line.

[0068] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
