Description

The present invention relates to a spinning reel.In fishing reels, a spinning reel is known in which a one-way clutch is disposed between a handle shaft and a drive shaft to prevent a handle from turning over when a rotor rotates in the throwing direction (line delivery). For example, JP 6 518 520 B1 discloses such a conventional fishing reel.In such a conventional fishing reel, when a torque causing rotation in the winding direction (line winding direction) is generated due to the weight of the handle, the handle swings like a pendulum in association with the rotation of the rotor in the casting direction. Therefore, the spinning reel disclosed in JP 6 518 520 B1 has a brake mechanism that suppresses a tilting of the handle that may be accompanied with the rotation of the rotor in the winding direction. The brake mechanism applies a braking force to the rotation of the handle in the direction opposite to the winding direction.In a brake mechanism disclosed in JP 6 518 520 B1, the torque generated by the weight of the handle may cause the handle to rotate in the winding direction when the handle is initially stopped. In the conventional drum, a one-way clutch can be engaged when the rotor rotates in the throwing direction due to the torque generated by the weight of the handle, and the one-way clutch can be disengaged by the reversal of a drive shaft. Thus, it is difficult to suppress the handle from moving back and forth.Embodiments of the present invention can stably suppress or prevent the reciprocation of a handle when a rotor rotates in the line delivery direction.A spinning reel according to an aspect of the present invention includes a reel body, a reel shaft, a reel, a rotor, a handle shaft, a drive shaft, a rotation transmission mechanism, a rotation control mechanism, and a brake. The coil shaft is supported by the bobbin. The coil is supported by the coil shaft. The rotor serves to wind a fishing line around the spool. The rotor is capable of rotating about the axis of the spool shaft. The handle shaft extends in the direction intersecting with the reel shaft, and is supported by the reel body so as to be rotatable in the winding direction and in the direction opposite to the winding direction. The drive shaft is rotatable about the axis of the handle shaft. The rotation transmission mechanism transmits the rotation of the drive shaft to the rotor. The rotation control mechanism is disposed between the handle shaft and the drive shaft, and transmits only the rotation of the handle shaft in the winding direction to the drive shaft, and does not transmit the rotation of the rotor in the line discharge direction from the drive shaft to the handle shaft. The brake rotates integrally with the drive shaft and is disposed to be in contact with the handle shaft to brake the rotation of the handle shaft.In an embodiment of a spinning reel, the brake rotates integrally with the drive shaft, so that the braking force of the brake does not act on the handle shaft at all when the handle shaft rotates in the winding direction. On the other hand, when the drive shaft rotates in the throwing direction and a rotational force is generated in the handle shaft in the winding direction due to the weight of the handle, a braking force is reliably applied from the brake because the brake is disposed to be in contact with the handle shaft. Thus, the one-way clutch is not switched by the relative rotation of the handle shaft and the drive shaft. In this way, it is possible to reliably suppress reciprocation of the handle when the rotor rotates in the throwing direction.In one embodiment, the drive shaft has a hollow portion through which the handle shaft passes, and the brake may be disposed in the hollow portion of the drive shaft. In this embodiment, the coil body can be compact in the axial direction.In one embodiment, the brake may be a plain bearing that supports the handle shaft. Therefore, it is possible to apply a braking force to the rotation of the handle shaft while supporting the handle shaft with the slide bearing.In one embodiment, the handle shaft may include a shaft body and a tapered portion whose outer diameter decreases as the distance from the shaft body increases. The brake may have, on the inner periphery, a support part formed corresponding to the tapered portion and supporting the tapered portion. In this embodiment, the braking force can be easily adjusted.The spinning reel may further include a first operating member that presses the brake toward the shaft body from the tapered portion. For example, in this embodiment, the braking force can be adjusted by adjusting the operating force of the operating member.The brake may be a friction plate in contact with the tip of the handle shaft. In this embodiment, the movement of the handle shaft in the axial direction can be easily suppressed.The spinning reel may further include an adjusting member that rotates integrally with the drive shaft and is capable of adjusting the braking force of the brake. In this embodiment, it is possible to easily and quickly adjust the braking force.The spinning reel may further include a handle, a drive gear, a pinion, and a second actuator. The handle is arranged on the left side of the coil body. The drive gear is rotatably connected to the drive shaft. The pinion extends in the axial direction of the spool shaft and meshes with the drive gear. The second actuator actuates the drive gear in the direction away from the pinion. In this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the rotation of the handle in the winding direction from becoming too difficult.The spinning reel may further include an elastic member that generates a frictional force between the handle shaft and the rotation control mechanism. The rotation control mechanism is constituted by the one-way clutch, and may include an inner ring rotatably disposed on one of the input shaft and the handle shaft, an outer ring rotatably disposed on the other of the input shaft and the handle shaft, and a plurality of rolling elements disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring. The elastic member is disposed between the handle shaft and the inner ring in the axial direction, and can generate a frictional force between the handle shaft and the inner ring. In this embodiment, swinging or reciprocating of the handle can be prevented when the handle is in a position in which torque is generated in the winding direction.The spinning reel may further include the handle connected to the handle shaft. Preferably, the torque required to shift the one-way clutch to an engaged state is greater than the torque generated by the weight of the handle and less than the braking force of the brake. In this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the handle from being moved back and forth.According to embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the hand grip from being moved reciprocally when the rotor rotates in the throwing direction.In the following description, an embodiment of a spinning reel according to an aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, wherein FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional side view of a spinning reel; FIG. 2 is a side view of the spinning reel; FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 2 ; FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial view of FIG. 3 ; FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a part of the configuration of a rotation control mechanism; FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 3 ; FIG. 7 is a view of a spinning reel according to another embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 ; FIG. 8 is a view of the spinning reel according to another embodiment corresponding to FIG. 4; FIG. 9 is a view of a spinning reel according to another embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 ; FIG. 10 is a view of a spinning reel according to another embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 ; FIG. 11 is a view of a spinning reel according to another embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3 ; FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a modification of a handle brake; and FIG. 13 is a perspective cross-sectional view illustrating a modification of the handle brake.Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional side view of a spin roll 10.

The tapered portion 53 is integral with the shaft body 52.The drive shaft 24 is a hollow shaft member and is rotatable about the axis of the handle shaft 22. The drive shaft 24 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 12 via bearings 25 a, 25 barranged on the reel body 12.The drive shaft 24 has a shaft portion 61, a hollow portion 62, and a housing 63. the shaft portion 61 extends parallel to the handle shaft 22. the shaft portion 61 has a first bore 61 aand a second bore 61 b.

The drive gear is connected to the drive shaft 24 in a rotationally fixed manner. In this embodiment, the drive gear 40 is integrally formed with the drive shaft 24.

As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the one-way clutch 71 includes an inner ring 75, an outer ring 76, a plurality of rollers 77, a holding member 78, and a plurality of actuators 79 (see FIG. 5 ).The inner ring 75 has a hollow stepped shape and is rotationally fixedly connected to the drive shaft 24. The inner ring 75 has a small diameter portion 75 aand a large diameter portion 75 b. The outer periphery of the small diameter portion 75a is engaged with the first bore 61a of the drive shaft 24 so that the inner ring 75 is non-rotatably connected to the drive shaft 24. On the inner periphery of the large diameter portion 75b, a bearing 45 fixed to the shaft body 52 of the handle shaft 22 and the flange part 52d of the handle shaft 22 are disposed. The inner ring 75 is rotatably supported on the handle shaft 22 via the bearing 45.The outer ring 76 has a plurality of circumferentially spaced recesses 76a on its outer periphery and a plurality of formed cam surfaces 76b on its inner periphery.The plurality of rolling elements 77 is disposed between the inner ring 75 and the outer ring 76. The plurality of rolling elements 77 are movable in the circumferential direction into a transmission position in which the rotation is transmitted and into a release position in which the rotation is not transmitted.The holding member 78 arranges the plurality of rolling elements 77 at intervals in the circumferential direction, respectively. The retaining member 78 has a plurality of protrusions 78 athat engage the plurality of recesses 76 aof the outer ring 76 and rotate integrally with the outer ring 76. The operating members 79 are, for example, coil springs and operate the rolling members 77 toward the disengagement position.The one-way clutch 71 is rotatably supported by a rotation bracket 72 fixed to the left side portion of the spool 12. The rotation carrier 72 rotatably supports the handle shaft 22 via a connector 73 integrally rotatably connecting the handle shaft 22 and the outer ring 76.

The support shaft 73a is rotatably supported on the rotation support 72 via the bearings 46a, 46b. The support shaft 73a and the spacer 73b are also designated in the configuration of the handle shaft 22.The spacer 73 bis disposed between the support shaft 73 aand the shaft body 52 of the handle shaft 22, and integrally rotatably connects the support shaft 73 aand the shaft body 52 and also locks the male thread 52 cof the shaft body 52. The spacer 73b has on its outer periphery a rectangular engaging portion 73d which engages with the inner periphery of the support shaft 73a.

The disc 73c has a plurality of protrusions 73f which engage with the plurality of recesses 76a of the outer ring 76.As shown in FIG. 3, the brake 30 applies a braking force to the rotation of the handle shaft 22. The brake 30 rotates integrally with the drive shaft 24 and is disposed so as to be in contact with the handle shaft 22. The brake 30 is accommodated in the large-diameter portion 63 bof the housing 63.The brake 30 in this embodiment consists of a slide bearing which supports the handle shaft 22. Specifically, the brake 30 includes a supporting member 30 a. The supporting member 30a is formed on the inner periphery of the brake 30. The supporting member 30a supports the tapered portion 53 and brakes the rotation of the handle shaft 22 by contacting the tapered portion 53. The supporting part 30a has a shape corresponding to the shape of the tapered portion 53. That is, the supporting part 30 ais shaped such that its outer diameter decreases as the distance from the shaft body 52 of the handle shaft 22 increases.The brake 30 has, on its outer periphery, an engaging part 30 bwhich engages with the engaging part 63 cof the large-diameter portion 63 bof the housing 63 so as to be integrally rotatable. The brake 30 is fixed to the inner periphery of the large diameter portion 63 bof the housing 63 by press fitting and the like. The brake 30 can be prevented from moving in the axial direction, for example, by a spring element which prevents slipping out.The spinning reel 10 may further include a handle brake 80 and a handle stopper 81, as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6. Since the handle brake 80 and the handle stopper 81 have the same configurations as those in the prior art, they will be briefly described.As shown in FIG. 6, the handle brake 80 applies a braking force to the rotation of the handle shaft 22 in the direction opposite to the winding direction. In Fig. 6, RD refers to the winding direction and WD refers to the direction opposite to the winding direction (i.e., the throwing direction).The handle brake 80 includes a ratchet member 80a, a spring member 80b, a brake member 80c, and an elastic ring 80d. The ratchet member 80a is rotatably mounted on a pivot shaft 78b disposed on the support member 78. The ratchet member 80a rotates between an engagement position in which the ratchet member 80a engages the brake member 80c and a disengagement position in which the ratchet member 80a is separated from the brake member 80c.The spring member 80 bapplies the ratchet member 80 atoward the engagement position when the handle shaft 22 rotates in the direction opposite to the winding direction, and actuates the ratchet member 80 atoward the non-engagement position when the handle shaft 22 rotates in the winding direction. Since the spring element 80 bdoes not appear in cross section, it is represented in FIG. 6 by a chain line with double dashed lines.The brake member 80c is a metallic annular member rotatably mounted on the spool 12 about the axis of the drive shaft 24. The brake member 80c has a plurality of internal teeth 80e engaged by the ratchet member 80a. The brake member 80c is rotatably fixed to an annular member 15 fixed to the spool 12.The elastic ring 80d is fixed to the annular member 15 in a compressed state and frictionally engages the brake member 80c. As a result, the rotation of the handle shaft 22 in the reverse direction is decelerated by the brake member 80c via the pawl member 80a and the holding member 78.The handle stopper 81 stops the handle shaft 22 at a predetermined rotation phase F only when the handle shaft 22 rotates in the direction opposite to the winding direction. The predetermined rotational phase F is a position at the front of the bottom dead center DP on the handle 23 side.The handle stopper 81 includes the ratchet member 80a and a protrusion 15a disposed on the annular member 15. When the rotation of the handle shaft 22 in the reverse direction is braked, the rotation of the handle shaft 22 in the reverse direction is stopped when the holding member 78 rotates in the reverse direction and the ratchet member 80a engages with the protrusion 15a.In the spinning reel 10 having the above configuration, the brake 30 rotates integrally with the drive shaft 24, therefore, the braking force of the brake 30 does not act on the handle shaft 22 when the handle shaft 22 rotates in the winding direction. Specifically, the rotation of the handle shaft 22 is transmitted to the drive shaft 24 via the rotation control mechanism 28 when the handle shaft 22 is rotated in the winding direction, therefore, the braking force of the brake 30 that rotates integrally with the drive shaft 24 does not act on the handle shaft 22, but since the brake 30 is disposed to be in contact with the handle shaft 22, the braking force of the brake 30 acts on the handle shaft 22 when the handle shaft 22 rotates in the direction opposite to the winding direction.In addition, the braking force of the brake 30 acts on the handle shaft 22 when the drive shaft 24 rotates in the throwing direction and the weight of the handle 23 generates a torque on the handle shaft 22 in the winding direction. Therefore, the one-way clutch 71 is not switched to the engaged state by the relative rotation of the handle shaft 22 and the drive shaft 24. Moreover, the brake 30 is disposed to abut on the handle shaft 22, so that the brake 30 can reliably apply a braking force. In this way, it is possible to reliably suppress the reciprocation of the handle 23 when the rotor 18 rotates in the throwing direction, even when the handle 23 is initially stationary and is located at a position where a torque rotating in the winding direction is generated. In addition, since the range in which the handle shaft 22 and the brake 30 come into contact with each other is tapered, it is possible to finely adjust the braking force by adjusting the position of the brake 30 in the axial direction, for example.Meanwhile, it is preferable that the torque required to bring the one-way clutch 71 into a coupled state is larger than the torque generated by the weight of the handle 23 and smaller than the braking force of the brake 30.An embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the invention. In particular, a plurality of embodiments and modifications explained in the present specification can be combined as needed.As shown in FIG. 7, a spinning reel 10 may further include actuators 84. The actuators 84 are an example of a first actuator. The actuators 84 may be, for example, coil springs in one embodiment. The actuators 84 urge the brake 30 toward a shaft body 52 of a handle shaft 22 from a tapered portion 53. the brake 30 has a surface 30 cpressed by the actuators 84 on its inner periphery. The operating members 84 are supported by a supporting protrusion 34b formed on a cap member 34. In this embodiment, the brake 30 does not need to be fixed to the inner periphery of a large-diameter gate 63 bof the housing 63 by press fitting or the like. In addition, the cap member 34 may be formed as a readjustment member capable of adjusting the braking force of the brake 30. Here, the cap member 34 adjusts the braking force of the brake 30 by adjusting the operating force of the operating members 84. Since the cap member 34 moves in the axial direction relative to the housing 63 by the rotational movement of the cap member 34, the operating force of the operating members 84 is adjusted.As shown in FIG. 8, the spinning reel 10 may further include an elastic member 86. The elastic member 86 generates a frictional force between a handle shaft 22 and a rotation control mechanism 28, and the elastic member 86 is disposed between a support shaft 73 aof a handle shaft 22 and an inner ring 75 in the axial direction, and generates a frictional force between the support shaft 73 aand the inner ring 75 In this embodiment, when a rotor 18 rotates in the throwing direction, the handle shaft 22 is rotated by a force in the direction opposite to the winding direction. Therefore, when a handle 23 is located at a position where a torque is generated in the winding direction, the handle 23 can be prevented from being reciprocally moved.In the above embodiment, a plain bearing is used as the brake 30, but the brake 30 is not limited to this embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, it is possible to apply a braking force by arranging a friction plate 88 (an example of a brake) on the inner periphery of a cap member 34 and bringing the tip of a handle shaft 22 laterally into contact with the friction plate 88 at a second end portion 52 b. In this embodiment as well, the cap element 34 can be designed as an adjusting element which is capable of adjusting the braking force of the friction plate 88. Here, the braking force of the friction plate 88 is adjusted by adjusting the pressing force of the friction plate 88. In this embodiment, the tapered portion 53 is omitted, and the brake 30 in the above embodiment is changed to a simple plain bearing or a rolling bearing.As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, in the spinning reel having the handle 23 at the left side portion of the spool 12, in a configuration in which the brake 30 or the friction plate 88 is pressed in the axial direction, the drive shaft 24 is pressed by the operating members 84 via the cap member 34 in the direction away from the handle 23. Thereby, a drive gear 40 can be pressed against a pinion 42 via the drive shaft 24, and the rotation of the handle 23 in the winding direction can become difficult. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the spinning reel 10 may include an actuator 90 for reducing the pressing force with which the drive shaft 24 is pressed. The excitation element 90 is an example of a second excitation element. The operating member 90 is, for example, a plate spring. The operating member 90 is disposed between, for example, a bearing 25 band a flange portion 61 cdisposed on a shaft portion 61 of the drive shaft 24 in the axial direction. A flange portion is disposed closer to a side of the second bore 61 bthan the drive gear 40 is, the operating member 90 suppresses the drive gear 40 from being pressed against the pinion 42.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the drive gear 40 is prevented from being pressed against the pinion gear 42 by the operation member 90, but in this embodiment, the operation force of the operation member 90 changes depending on the position of the drive shaft 24. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, in the rotating coil having the handle 23 at the left side portion of a bobbin 12, the coil may be formed so that the reactive force of the actuators 84 does not act on a drive shaft 24. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the housing 63 is integrally formed with a shaft portion 61, and the housing 63 is rotatably supported by a bearing 92 provided on the bobbin 12. Inside the housing 63 are housed a brake 30, actuators 84, a collar member 94 and a rolling bearing 95.The confirmation elements 84 are arranged in the compressed state between the brake 30 and the collar element 94. The operating members 84 operate the brake 30 toward the handle 23. the operating members 84 operate the collar member 94 toward the direction away from the handle 23. the collar member 94 transmits the operating force of the operating members 84 to an outer ring of the rolling bearing 95. the collar member 94 is rotatably accommodated in the housing 63 to be integrated with the housing 63. The handle shaft 22 has an extended portion 54 extending from a tapered portion 53 in the axial direction. The rolling bearing 95 rotatably supports the expanded portion 54. An external thread 54a is formed on the outer periphery of the tip of the expanded portion 54, and a cap member 96 is screwed into the external thread 54a. The cap member 96 is disposed to abut against an inner ring of the rolling bearing 95 to prevent the rolling bearing 95 from coming off the housing 63. In this embodiment, the collar member 94 and the operating members 84 are prevented from coming off the housing 63. In this configuration, the drive gear 40 is not pressed against the pinion 42 by the actuating elements 84, so that an actuating element 90 can be dispensed with.As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a handle brake 80 may be formed by a spring member 98 formed by bending a metal spring wire. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the periphery of an annular member 150 fixed to the bobbin 12 along a planar surface orthogonal to a drive shaft 24. The spring member 98 has an annular portion 98a and a spring hook 98b. The annular portion 98a is fixed to an annular groove 150a formed on the outer periphery of the annular member 150 so as to be frictionally engageable. The spring hook 98 bextends radially outward from the annular portion 98 a. The spring hook 98 bis hooked to a holding member 78 of a one-way clutch 71. The tip of the spring hook 98b is curved toward the ring portion 98a. A retaining groove 78c extending in the radial direction is formed on the retaining member 78, and the spring hook 98b is hooked on the retaining groove 78c. Here, the groove width of the retaining groove 78 cis preferably selected such that it is minimized with respect to the wire diameter of the spring element 98. In this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the mobility of the spring member 98 in the rotational direction and also to prevent the spring member 98 from coming off the holding member 78.In the embodiment in which the handle brake 80 is composed of the spring member 98, when the handle 23 rotates in the direction WD opposite to the winding direction, the holding member 78 rotates in the throwing direction WD, thereby reducing the diameter of the annular portion 98 aof the spring member 98. Thereby, the rotational resistance increases when the annular portion 98a and the annular groove 150a are frictionally engaged, and the handle 23 is braked. On the other hand, when the handle 23 rotates in the winding direction RD, the holding member 78 rotates in the winding direction RD, and thus the diameter of the annular portion 98 aof the spring member 98 increases. Thereby, the rotational resistance in frictional engagement between the annular portion 98 aand the annular groove 150 adeceeds, and the braking force of the handle brake 80 hardly acts on the handle 23.In the above embodiment, the inner ring 75 is integrally rotatably connected to the drive shaft 24, and the outer ring 76 is integrally rotatably connected to the handle shaft 22. However, the inner ring 75 can also be connected to the handle shaft 22 in a rotationally fixed manner and the outer ring 76 can be connected to the drive shaft 24 in a rotationally fixed manner.REFERENCE CHARACTER10 Spinning reel 12 Spool 14 Spool shaft 15 Annular member 15 a Vorsprung 16 Spool 18 Rotor 20 Rotor brake 20 a Bremshebel lever 20 b Brems part 20 c Einwegkupplung clutch 22 Handle shaft 23 Handle 23 a Handgriff arm 23 b Handgriff part 23 bDrive shaft 25 a Lager 25 b Lager 26 Rotation transmission mechanism 28 Rotation control mechanism 30 Brake 30 a Tragende part 30 b Eingriffsteil part 30 c Druck surface 32 Reciprocating mechanism 34 Cap member 34 a Innengewinde 34 b Projection 36 Cover member 40 Drive wheel 42 Ritzel 43 a Lager 43 b Lager 43 c Lager 45 Lager 51 Arm connector 51 a Innengewinde 52 Shaft body 52 aFirst end part (left end) 52 bSecond end part (right end) 52 c Außengewinde 52 d Flanschteil part 53 Tapered portion 54 Expanded portion 54 aouthear thread 61 shaft portion 61 afirst hole 61 bsecond hole 61 c flange part 62 hollow portion 63 housing 63 alow diameter portion 63 blow diameter portion 63 cengagement part 63 douthear thread 71 one-way clutch 72 rotation carrier 73 connector 73 asupport shaft 73 bspacer 73 c disk 73 dpreviously engaging part 73 eun-round hole 73 fwarx protrusions 75 inner ring 75 alow diameter portion 75 blow diameter portion 76 outer ring 76 awarx recesses 76 bwarx cam surfaces 77 plurality of rolling elements 78 retaining member 78 awarx protrusions 78 bthrottle shaft 78 cholder groove 79 plurality of operating elements 80 handle brake 80 alock element 80 bspring element 80 cholder element 80 delastic ring 80 ewarx inner teeth 81 Handle stop 84 Actuating elements 86 Elastic element 88 Friction plate 90 Actuating element 92 Bearing 94 Collar element 95 Rolling bearing 96 Cap element 98 Spring element 98 aRing section 98 bSpring hook 150 Ring-shaped element 150 aRing groove DP Bottom dead point F Predefined rotational phase RD Winding direction WD Opposite direction of the winding direction / ejection direction
