[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing rod. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, is known as a method for printing a solar cell onto a component. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-95187 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] While it has been considered to attach the above-mentioned printed thin-film solar cells to fishing rods to supply electricity, fishing rods are cylindrical and are moved by the angler while fishing. As a result, there are problems such as the sunlight hitting the solar cells being uneven, and wiring is difficult and difficult to manufacture, leaving room for improvement.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a fishing rod that can stabilize the generated power and can be easily manufactured. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A first aspect of the fishing rod according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a rod body, a solar cell unit provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body, and a power stabilization unit that stabilizes the power generated by the solar cell unit.

[0007] According to the first aspect of the fishing rod of the present invention, solar cells are provided on the circumferential surface of the rod body in at least a portion of the axial direction, allowing for a constant amount of power to be generated. Furthermore, in the present invention, even if the way sunlight hits the fishing rod changes depending on the movement of the fishing rod, causing the generated power to fluctuate, the power stabilization unit can stabilize the power generated by the solar cell unit, allowing for a stable supply of power to the fishing rod. This prevents voltage fluctuations caused by the intensity of sunlight on the solar cell unit due to conditions such as the season, shade, or sunny location, which would otherwise occur when power is generated solely by solar cells, preventing the electrical circuit connected to the solar cell unit from becoming unstable. Furthermore, according to the fishing rod of the present invention, the cells can be arranged in a plane on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body, which simplifies the wiring structure compared to when the solar cells are stacked radially of the rod body.

[0008] (2) Aspect 2 of the present invention is directed to the fishing rod of aspect 1, wherein the solar cell section has a plurality of cells, each of which preferably extends in the circumferential direction of the rod body and is aligned in the axial direction of the rod body.

[0009] In this case, the ring-shaped cells extend in the circumferential direction of the rod body, so sunlight is input to at least a portion of the cells in the circumferential direction of the rod body, and by connecting the cells in the axial direction of the rod body, a large amount of electricity can be obtained.

[0010] (3) Aspect 3 of the present invention is a fishing rod according to aspect 1 or aspect 2, wherein the solar cell unit has a plurality of cells, each of which preferably extends in the axial direction of the rod body and is arranged in the circumferential direction of the rod body.

[0011] In this case, by connecting the parts of the circumferential surface of the rod body that are exposed to sunlight and the parts that are not exposed to sunlight in parallel, a constant current can be obtained, and power can be stabilized.

[0012] (4) A fourth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the fishing rod of the first aspect, the solar cell unit has at least one cell, and the cell is arranged spirally along the axial direction of the rod body on the outer circumferential surface of the rod body.

[0013] In this case, by arranging the cells in a spiral, it is possible to take advantage of the advantages of both connecting cells extending circumferentially around the rod body in series in the axial direction of the rod body, and connecting cells extending axially around the rod body in parallel in the circumferential direction of the rod body, thereby effectively stabilizing power.

[0014] (5) A fifth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the fishing rod of the fourth aspect, the solar cell section has a plurality of cells, and the plurality of cells are arranged in a multiple spiral.

[0015] In this case, the spiral cells can be arranged efficiently, and the effect can be further enhanced.

[0016] (6) A sixth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the fishing rod of any one of the first to fifth aspects, the solar cell unit is printed on the rod body.

[0017] In this case, the solar cell portion is formed by a printed coating, so the effect on the rigidity of the rod body can be minimized compared to when a separate cell is arranged.

[0018] (7) A seventh aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that the fishing rod of any one of the first to sixth aspects further comprises a power storage unit that stores the power generated by the solar cell unit.

[0019] In this case, since the power is stored in the power storage unit of the fishing rod, a stable supply of power can be secured.

[0020] (8) Aspect 8 of the present invention may be characterized in that, in a fishing rod according to any one of aspects 1 to 7, the solar cell unit has a power generation layer that generates electricity, a transparent layer that is arranged radially outside the rod body of the power generation layer, and an electrode that outputs the electricity, and the electrode is provided on the transparent layer.

[0021] In this case, the transparent layer located radially outside the rod body from the power generation layer becomes the electrode, so sunlight that passes through the transparent layer can be input to the power generation layer, and by overlapping the electrode radially outside the rod body, the area of ​​the power generation layer can be expanded, allowing for efficient power generation.

[0022] (9) A ninth aspect of the present invention may be characterized in that, in any one of the fishing rods of the first to eighth aspects, the solar cell unit has a power generation layer that generates electricity, a conductive reflective layer that is arranged radially inside the rod body of the power generation layer, and an electrode that outputs the electricity, and the electrode is provided on the conductive reflective layer.

[0023] In this case, the conductive reflective layer located radially inward of the rod body from the power generation layer serves as an electrode, so that sunlight that passes through the power generation layer can be reflected toward the power generation layer, thereby generating electricity efficiently.

[0024] (10) Aspect 10 of the present invention may be characterized in that, in the fishing rod of any one of aspects 1 to 9, the rod body has a first rod body and a second rod body that can be mechanically connected, and the solar cell unit has a first solar cell unit provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first rod body, and a second solar cell unit provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second rod body and electrically connected to the first solar cell unit.

[0025] In this case, the solar cell units of the first rod body and the second rod body, which are separate bodies, are electrically connected to each other, so that by connecting a plurality of solar cell units, it is possible to supply a large amount of power. [Effects of the Invention]

[0026] The fishing rod according to the present invention can stabilize the generated power and can be easily manufactured. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 7] FIG. 10 is a side view showing the main part of a fishing rod body equipped with a solar cell unit according to a third embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fishing rod according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that in each drawing, the scale of each component may be changed as necessary to make each component large enough to be visible.

[0029] (First embodiment) 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a fishing rod 1 of this embodiment. The fishing rod 1 of this embodiment includes a fishing rod body 10 and a solar cell device 100 that is provided on the fishing rod body 10 and includes a solar cell unit 20. The fishing rod 1 is configured to output power obtained from the solar cell unit 20 during fishing to an output device 50, such as a display.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1, the fishing rod 1 includes a fishing rod main body 10 (rod body). The fishing rod main body 10 is the main body of the fishing rod 1. The fishing rod main body 10 includes a butt rod 11, an intermediate rod (not shown), and a tip rod (not shown). The butt rod 11 includes a grip 14 and a reel seat 15.

[0031] In the following description, where necessary, the direction of each part will be shown using three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, with the direction from the butt 16 to the tip 17 of the fishing rod body 10 (i.e., the direction of the rod axis) being the x-axis, and the directions forming a plane perpendicular to the x-axis (i.e., the cross section of the fishing rod body 10) being the y-axis and z-axis. Also, the direction perpendicular to the x-axis, which is the rod axis direction, is called the radial direction, and the direction going around the x-axis as viewed from the x-axis direction is called the circumferential direction.

[0032] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example (first configuration example) of the solar cell device 100 of the fishing rod 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing another configuration example (second configuration example) of the solar cell device 100 of the fishing rod 1 of this embodiment.

[0033] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the solar cell devices 100A, 100B of the fishing rod 1 include a solar cell unit 20 provided on the outer peripheral surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10, a power stabilization unit 30 that stabilizes the power generated by the solar cell unit 20, and a power storage unit 40 that stores the power generated by the solar cell unit 20.

[0034] 2, a first solar cell device 100A according to a first configuration example has a first power stabilization section 30A including a charging circuit electrically connected to a solar cell section 20 to which solar energy E is input, and a first power storage section 40A such as a secondary battery is further connected to the first power stabilization section 30A. The first power stabilization section 30A is electrically connected to an output device 50. The first power stabilization section 30A, which includes the first power storage section 40A and has a power storage function, stably outputs power generated by the solar cell section 20 to the output device 50.

[0035] 3, a second solar cell device 100B according to a second configuration example is configured such that a second power stabilization section 30B is electrically connected to a solar cell section 20 to which solar energy E is input, and a second power storage section 40B such as a capacitor is further connected between the solar cell section 20 and the second power stabilization section 30B. The second power stabilization section 30B is electrically connected to an output device 50. Since the power generated by the solar cell section 20 is stored in the second power storage section 40B, stable power is output from the second power stabilization section 30 to the output device 50.

[0036] The output device 50 may be, for example, a display device provided on the fishing rod body 10. An example of this display device is one that includes an information display unit (not shown) consisting of the above-mentioned display or the like, and an information processing unit (not shown) that outputs information to the information display unit. The information display unit may be a liquid crystal panel, electronic paper, organic EL panel, or the like. The information display unit is located in an easy-to-see position, facing upward when the user holds or places the fishing rod 1 while fishing, such as on the outer surface 10a of the butt rod 11 on the rod tip 17 side (+x side) of the reel seat 15. Note that the display device is not limited to one, and multiple devices may be combined. It may also be combined with a light-emitting element such as an LED (light-emitting diode). When the display device is the output device 50 in this way, the angler can obtain a lot of information by visually checking the information display unit on the fishing rod body 10.

[0037] Other examples of the output device 50 include an audio device, a communication device, an information input device, a measuring device (sensor, etc.), etc. Furthermore, the output device 50 is not limited to being incorporated into the fishing rod 1, but may be a device provided separately from the fishing rod 1. In that case, the separate output device 50 is electrically connected to the separate output device 50 by a wireless signal or a wired signal of a communication device described later. The information input device is, for example, a touch sensor or touch panel operated by the user (angler).

[0038] If the output device 50 is a communication device, it has a transmitter and a receiver and inputs and outputs data to and from the outside via wireless signals. In this case, the communication direction may be such that the fishing rod 1 and the smartphone are connected via short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), and the smartphone communicates via wide-area wireless communication such as a mobile communication network. Another communication method may be to connect the wireless communication unit of the fishing rod 1 to the Internet via an access point installed on a fishing boat, for example, using Wi-Fi (registered trademark). Still another communication method may be to connect the communication unit of the fishing rod 1 to the Internet via a mobile wireless communication network such as 4G or 5G. Note that the communication unit between the output device 50 and the outside is preferably wireless, but may also be connected via a wired connection.

[0039] The power stabilization unit 30 is provided, for example, in the hollow portion of the grip 14 on the rod butt 16 side (-x side) of the reel seat 15. The power stabilization unit 30 may be connected to a communication unit (output device 50) that can communicate information with devices provided inside or outside the fishing rod 1. The communication unit includes a transmitter and a receiver, and inputs and outputs data to and from the outside via wireless signals.

[0040] The power stabilization unit 30 may have a simple configuration, such as a three-terminal regulator. Alternatively, a configuration such as a switching regulator may be used. Furthermore, the power stabilization unit 30 may include a circuit for boosting the voltage. The voltage output from the power stabilization unit 30 may be one of a plurality of voltages, such as 5V, 3.7V, and 1.0V.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the solar cell unit 20 is a power supply unit that supplies power to the power stabilization unit 30 and the power storage unit 40 by self-generating power.

[0042] Fig. 4 is a side view showing the main part of the fishing rod body 10 equipped with the solar cell unit 20 of the first embodiment. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the solar cell unit 20 is printed on the fishing rod body 10. The solar cell unit 20 may also be provided by being fixed to or incorporated into the outer peripheral surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10.

[0043] The solar cell unit 20 is arranged in a spiral shape along the x-axis direction on the outer peripheral surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10. The solar cell unit 20 has a plurality of cells 21 (21A, 21B, 21C) (three in this embodiment), and the cells 21A, 21B, 21C adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are electrically connected in the circumferential direction. The spirals of these multiple cells 21A, 21B, 21C are arranged to form a multiple spiral. Each cell 21 is strip-shaped, and the spiral pitch is set to be at least twice the strip width. When viewing the fishing rod body 10 from the side, the multiple spiral solar cell unit 20 is arranged in the x-axis direction in the order of cells 21A, 21B, 21C, 21A, 21B, 21C, .... The solar cell unit 20 of this embodiment has substantially the same cell arrangement when viewed from any direction in the circumferential direction of the fishing rod body 10.

[0044] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II shown in FIG. 4, showing the fishing rod body 10 equipped with the solar cell unit 20. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the solar cell unit 20 includes a power generation layer 22 that generates electricity, a transparent layer 23 disposed radially outward of the power generation layer 22 with respect to the fishing rod 1, and a conductive reflective layer 24 disposed radially inward of the power generation layer 22. The solar cell unit 20 is laminated in the following order from the radially inner side to the radially outer side: the conductive reflective layer 24, the power generation layer 22, and the transparent layer 23. The power generation layer 22, the transparent layer 23, and the conductive reflective layer 24 are formed by, for example, printing a conductive paint on each layer. However, this is not limited to printing, and each layer may be formed by attaching conductive members made of conductive materials to the outer peripheral surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10 in layers.

[0045] The solar cell section 20 has a first electrode 23A and a second electrode 24A that output electric power. The first electrode 23A is provided on a transparent layer. The second electrode 24A is provided on a conductive reflective layer 24.

[0046] The power generation layers 22 correspond to the cells 21. In Fig. 5, four power generation layers 22 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. An insulating layer 25 is formed between the power generation layers 22 arranged in the circumferential direction. The four power generation layers 22 arranged in the circumferential direction are electrically connected in parallel in the circumferential direction.

[0047] The transparent layer 23 is a first electrode 23A and is provided over the entire periphery in the circumferential direction.

[0048] The conductive reflective layer 24 is a second electrode 24A, and is provided over the entire circumferential direction on the outer circumferential surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10. As the conductive reflective layer 24, for example, a coating containing metal powder or the like is used.

[0049] In the fishing rod 1 configured in this manner, the power generated by the solar cell unit 20 and stabilized by the power stabilization unit 30 and the power storage unit 40 is output to an output device 50 such as a display device, so that, for example, information about a school of fish detected by a fish finder (not shown) mounted on a vessel (such as a recreational fishing boat) can be transmitted to the output device 50 via wireless communication from the vessel's antenna. The information about the school of fish received from the vessel is then displayed on the output device 50 of the fishing rod 1. Furthermore, for example, instructions from the captain of a recreational fishing boat regarding water depth (depth) and instructions for reeling in the line may be provided to the output device 50 via wireless communication from the vessel's antenna.

[0050] Although not shown, in the case of a fishing rod body 10 having a first rod body and a second rod body that are mechanically connectable, the solar cell unit 20 may be configured to have a first solar cell unit provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first rod body and a second solar cell unit provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second rod body and electrically connected to the first solar cell unit. In this case, the solar cell units of the separate first rod body and second rod body are electrically connected to each other, so connecting multiple solar cell units makes it possible to supply a large amount of power.

[0051] Next, the operation of the fishing rod 1 configured as above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0052] The fishing rod 1 according to this embodiment includes a fishing rod body 10, a solar cell unit 20 provided on the outer peripheral surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10, and a power stabilization unit 30 that stabilizes the power generated by the solar cell unit 20.

[0053] In the fishing rod 1 of this embodiment, solar cells are provided on the circumferential outer surface of at least a portion of the outer surface in the axial direction of the fishing rod body 10, so that a constant amount of power can be generated at all times. Furthermore, in this embodiment, even if the way sunlight hits the fishing rod 1 changes depending on the movement of the fishing rod 1, causing the generated power to fluctuate, the power stabilization unit 30 can stabilize the power generated by the solar cell unit 20, and stable power can be supplied to the fishing rod 1. Therefore, unlike conventional cases where power is generated solely by solar cells, voltage fluctuations caused by the strength of sunlight on the solar cell unit due to conditions such as the season, shade, or sunny location can be prevented, preventing instability in the electrical circuit connected to the solar cell unit 20. Furthermore, according to the fishing rod 1 of this embodiment, the cells can be arranged in a plane on the outer peripheral surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10, which simplifies the wiring structure compared to when the solar battery cells are stacked in the radial direction of the fishing rod body.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cells 21 are arranged spirally on the outer circumferential surface 10a of the fishing rod body 10 along the x-axis direction. In this way, by arranging the cells 21 in a spiral pattern, it is possible to incorporate the advantages of both connecting circumferentially extending cells in series in the axial direction and connecting circumferentially extending cells in the x-axis direction in parallel, thereby effectively stabilizing power.

[0055] In this embodiment, the solar cell section 20 has a plurality of cells 21. The plurality of cells 21 are arranged in a multiple spiral. This allows the spiral cells 21 to be arranged efficiently, and the effect can be further enhanced.

[0056] In this embodiment, the solar cell unit 20 is printed on the fishing rod body 10. In this way, since the solar cell section 20 is formed by a printed coating, the effect on the rigidity of the fishing rod body 10 can be minimized compared to when a separate cell is disposed.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the power is stored in the power storage unit 40 of the fishing rod 1, a stable supply of power can be ensured.

[0058] In this embodiment, the solar cell section 20 has a power generation layer 22 that generates power, a transparent layer 23 that is arranged radially outside the power generation layer 22 of the fishing rod body 10, and a first electrode 23A and a second electrode 24A that output power. The first electrode 23A is provided on the transparent layer 23. Therefore, the transparent layer 23 located radially outward from the power generation layer 22 becomes the first electrode 23A, so that sunlight that has passed through the transparent layer 23 can be input to the power generation layer 22. By overlapping the first electrode 23A radially outward from the fishing rod body 10, the area of ​​the power generation layer 22 can be increased, allowing for efficient power generation.

[0059] In this embodiment, the solar cell section 20 includes a power generation layer 22 that generates power, a conductive reflective layer 24 that is disposed radially inside the power generation layer 22 of the fishing rod body 10, and a first electrode 23A and a second electrode 24A that output power. The second electrode 24A is provided on the conductive reflective layer 24. Therefore, the conductive reflective layer 24, which is located radially inward of the fishing rod body 10 from the power generation layer 22, becomes the second electrode 24A, and sunlight that has passed through the power generation layer 22 can be reflected toward the power generation layer 22, allowing for efficient power generation.

[0060] The fishing rod 1 according to this embodiment configured as described above can stabilize the generated power and can be easily manufactured.

[0061] Next, another embodiment of the fishing rod according to the present invention will be described. Note that components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions of these components will be omitted to avoid duplication.

[0062] (Second embodiment) FIG. 6 is a side view showing the main part of a fishing rod body 10 equipped with a solar cell unit 20A of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the solar cell unit 20A of the fishing rod 1A of the second embodiment has a plurality of cells 21 (denoted by reference numerals 21D, 21E, and 21F in FIG. 6) each having a strip shape extending in the x-axis direction and arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. The plurality of cells 21 arranged in the circumferential direction are electrically connected in series. The plurality of cells 21D, 21E, and 21F may be provided around the entire circumferential direction of the fishing rod body 10, or the cells 21 may be arranged only in a portion of the circumferential direction. For example, the plurality of cells 21 may be arranged only in the range of the upper half of the fishing rod 1A held by the angler.

[0063] The width of each cell 21 can be set appropriately. The specific configuration of the solar cell section 20A is similar to that of the solar cell section 20 of the first embodiment described above, and includes a power generation layer 22, a transparent layer 23, and a conductive reflective layer 24 (see FIG. 5).

[0064] In the fishing rod 1A of the second embodiment, multiple strip-shaped cells 21D, 21E, and 21F extending in the x-axis direction are connected in parallel in the circumferential direction, so that during fishing, there is at least one cell 21 among the multiple cells 21D, 21E, and 21F, into whose entirety solar energy E is input. In other words, by connecting in parallel the portions of the circumferential surface of the fishing rod body 10 that are exposed to sunlight and the portions that are not exposed to sunlight, a constant current can be obtained, and power can be stabilized.

[0065] (Third embodiment) FIG. 7 is a side view showing the main part of a fishing rod body 10 equipped with a solar cell section 20B of the third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 7, the solar cell unit 20B of the fishing rod 1B of the third embodiment has a plurality of cells 21 (denoted by reference numerals 21G, 21H, and 21I in Fig. 7) each having a ring shape extending circumferentially and arranged at intervals in the x-axis direction. The plurality of cells 21 arranged in the x-axis direction are electrically connected in series. The plurality of cells 21G, 21H, and 21I can be provided in an appropriate installation range in the x-axis direction of the fishing rod body 10.

[0066] The width of each cell 21 can be set appropriately. The specific configuration of the solar cell section 20B is similar to that of the solar cell section 20 of the first embodiment described above, and includes a power generation layer 22, a transparent layer 23, and a conductive reflective layer 24 (see FIG. 5).

[0067] In the fishing rod 1B of the third embodiment, multiple ring-shaped cells 21G, 21H, and 21I extending in the circumferential direction are connected in series in the x-axis direction. Therefore, sunlight is input to at least a portion of each of the cells 21G, 21H, and 21I in the circumferential direction, and by connecting 21G, 21H, and 21I in the x-axis direction, a large amount of power can be obtained.

[0068] Although the embodiments of the fishing rod according to the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiments can be embodied in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The embodiments include, for example, those that can be easily imagined by a person skilled in the art, those that are substantially the same, those within the scope of equivalents, etc.

[0069] For example, the shape, size, number of divisions, and other configurations of the fishing rod body 10 can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the configurations such as the shape, size, and arrangement of the solar cell unit 20, the power stabilization unit 30, and the power storage unit 40 are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.
