Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a squid fishing line guide mechanism and a squid fishing machine, and in particular to a technology for effectively catching squid that fall off the fishing line and into the sea in a squid fishing machine that reels the fishing line in with a drum and is used on a ship, thereby preventing or reducing the loss of squid that fall into the sea. [Background technology]

[0002] Many patent applications have been filed for squid fishing machines that use a drum to reel in a fishing line with many squid hooks attached. For example, Patent Document 1, listed below, discloses a technique for preventing squid caught on the squid hook from coming off the squid hook and falling into the sea when the squid passes through a guide roller, in which a hook rod is provided on the periphery of the guide roller that guides the fishing line into the boat with a reeling machine, protruding approximately vertically from the guide roller. This allows the hook rod to pierce the squid caught on the squid hook, preventing it from coming off and falling.

[0003] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses, as a means for solving the same problem as that of the above-mentioned Document 1, a configuration including a plurality of squid fishing machines that reel in squid by winding up the fishing line wound and held on a rotating drum via a front roller, and a control means for centrally controlling the squid fishing machines. The control means sets a hook-up region in the final stage of the winding-up operation of the squid fishing machine, and sets the speed and winding-up force of the winding-up operation in the hook-up region to be smaller than those of the previous stage, thereby preventing the squid from coming off the hook and falling off.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-245318 A "Fishing line guide roller for squid fishing machine" [Patent Document 2] JP 10-313755 A "Automatic squid fishing device" Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing a situation that is a problem that both of the techniques disclosed in the patent documents address. This is related to the problem of squids falling off the hook, which is particularly noted for purple squids, and shows the situation of the squid S coming off the hook and falling off when the fishing line R is reeled in in a squid fishing machine 1030. However, the technique disclosed in the above-mentioned document 1 causes secondary damage to the caught squid, which leads to a decrease in freshness and marketability, and is undesirable. On the other hand, the technique disclosed in the document 2 is an invention that can centrally control the speed and force of the reeling operation in multiple drums by a control means, but the problem of the squid falling off remains. A more practical technique is required that prevents secondary damage to the caught squid as much as possible.

[0006] Therefore, the problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a highly practical technology that can eliminate the problems of the conventional technology, prevent secondary damage to caught squid, and prevent or reduce losses due to falling into the sea. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The inventors of the present application have studied the above problem. They do not take any particular measures to prevent the squid from coming off the fishing line, but aim to create a structure that will prevent the squid from falling into the sea from the boat if it does come off the fishing line. They have come up with a structure that will catch the squid on the boat and prevent it from falling into the sea if the squid comes off the fishing hook and falls, and have completed the present invention based on this.

[Figure 13] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing a situation that is a problem faced by the techniques disclosed in each of the patent documents. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the basic configuration of the squid fishing line guide mechanism and squid fishing machine of the present invention. Figures 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4 are explanatory diagrams (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, respectively) conceptually and sequentially showing the basic operations of the squid fishing line guide mechanism and squid fishing machine of the present invention shown in Figure 1. Figure 1-2 shows the state before the squid hooked on the fishing line passes through the guide section, Figure 1-3 shows the state after the squid has passed through the guide section, and Figure 1-4 shows the state after the squid has fallen from the fishing line and is received in the receiving section.

[0014] As shown in these figures, the squid fishing line guide mechanism 10 is either part of a squid fishing machine 30 that uses a drum 20 to wind up a fishing line R to which multiple squid hooks are attached, or is a mechanism that is placed below the drum 20 and has specifications that allow it to be attached to the squid fishing machine 30.The main components of the mechanism are a receiving section 2 that receives squid S that fall after coming off the fishing line R, and a guide section 3, the upper surface of which forms part of the receiving section 2.The guide section 3 has an opening 4 that guides the fishing line R from the lower side of the receiving section 2 to the drum 20 side, and is formed so that the squid S caught on the fishing line R can pass through upwards.

[0015] In the squid fishing machine 30 and squid fishing line guide mechanism 10 of the present invention having such a configuration, when a squid S is caught, the fishing line R is pulled from the sea to above the sea surface and then upward from there, passing through the opening 4 of the guide part 3 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 10 forming the area on the ship, and is wound up by the drum 20 located above. The falling of the squid S from the hook into the sea that should be prevented by the mechanism 10 is the falling of the squid S after it has been caught on the fishing line R (the fishing hook) and passed through the opening 4 of the guide part 3, that is, the falling of the squid S at the point where it is located above the guide part 3.

[0016] A part of the receiving part 2 is the upper surface of the guide part 3. In other words, the upper surface of the guide part 3 having the opening 4 through which the squid S passes forms a part of the receiving part 2, and the receiving part 2 exists over a wider area including the upper surface. Although the squid S caught on the fishing line R can pass upward through the guide part 3, a structure is provided to prevent the squid S from passing downward after passing through, that is, from returning downward through the guide part 3. In this regard, although the structure of the guide part 3 through which the fishing line R passes is particularly conceptually shown in Figs. 1 to 1-4, a more specific structural example will be described later with reference to Fig. 2 etc.

[0017] With this configuration, even if the squid S falls off the fishing line R while the fishing line R with the squid S hooked on it is being reeled in by the drum 20, the squid S is received by the receiving part 2, which has a certain amount of space and the upper surface of the guide part 3 is a part of it, and is prevented from falling below. Also, the guide part 3 has a structure that allows the squid S to pass upward through the opening 4 but prevents it from moving backward downward, so the squid S is also prevented from falling through the opening 4. In this way, the squid S is prevented from falling into the sea.

[0018] The squid fishing line guide mechanism 10 may be provided as a component that forms part of the squid fishing machine 30, or may be a separate body that can be attached to the squid fishing machine 30 later or that can be detached from the squid fishing machine 30.

[0019] Furthermore, the specific specifications and structure of the receiving portion 2 are not particularly limited, so long as it has a structure capable of at least receiving the falling squid S. In other words, it may be flat, as in the embodiment described below. However, it may be designed, and is recommended, to have a shape and structure that prevents the received squid S from bouncing off and going out of the receiving portion 2, especially outside the ship, or that prevents the falling squid S from bouncing off and going back inside the ship and sliding down, so as not to fall into the sea.

[0020] In addition, in order to prevent damage to the squid body due to impact when the fallen squid S collides with the receiving part 2 and the resulting decrease in marketability, it is possible to appropriately use an impact-absorbing material for the receiving part 2.

[0021] The main specific cause of the squid S falling is, as shown in FIG. 13 and other documents relating to the prior art, the squid S becoming detached from the fishing hook of the fishing line R. Detachment occurs when an external force acting on the squid S that is greater than the hooking force of the fishing hook and acts in a different direction from the hooking force. Examples of external forces include centrifugal force on the fishing line R being reeled in by the drum 20, wind force, and impact force from a squid that has previously become detached.

[0022] 2 and 2-2 are explanatory diagrams showing an example of the configuration of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention having a one-sided opening and closing structure and its operation (part 1 and part 2, respectively), the former showing the state in which the one-sided opening and closing structure is closed, and the latter showing the state in which it is open. In each figure, (a) is a plan view, and (b) is a side cross-sectional view. As shown in these figures, in addition to the configuration explained in FIG. 1 etc., the present squid fishing line guide mechanism 210 can be configured to have a one-sided opening and closing structure 25 in which the guide part 23 opens only in the direction from the lower side to the upper side of the receiving part 22. The one-sided opening and closing structure 25 can be configured to open when the squid caught on the fishing line is passed through (FIG. 2-2), and close after the squid passes through upward (FIG. 2), thereby reducing the area of ​​the opening 24 facing the upper side of the guide part 23.

[0023] In this squid fishing line guide mechanism 210, which is configured with such a one-sided opening / closing structure 25, when a squid caught on the fishing line passes through the guide section 23 from below to above, the opening 24 opens upward (Figure 2-2) from a narrowed state (Figure 2), and on the other hand, after the squid has passed through upward, the opening closes, returning to its original narrowed state (Figure 2).

[0024] The one-sided opening / closing structure 25 can be simply constructed by a door-like half body pivoted to open only on one side (upper side). In this case, the one-sided opening / closing structure 25 opens upward (Fig. 2-2) when the squid fish body pushes it upward, and closes (Fig. 2) when the upward push by the squid fish body is released.

[0025] The one-sided opening / closing structure 25 is normally closed when no squid passes through the guide section 23 (Fig. 2), and opens only when a squid passes through (Fig. 2-2). Therefore, the area of ​​the opening 24 facing the upper side of the guide section 23 is reduced when it is normally closed (Fig. 2), and expands only when it is open (Fig. 2-2). In other words, when a squid passes upward, the one-sided opening / closing structure 25 opens to the cross-sectional area required for this, but after the squid passes through, it closes and narrows the area of ​​the opening 24. This significantly reduces the possibility that a squid will fall through the opening 24, even if it falls from above.

[0026] As shown in the figure, the guide section 23 can be configured to include a tube 26 located below the receiving section 22, and a one-sided opening / closing structure 25 provided on the upper end side of the tube 26. The fishing line passes through the tube 26 from below, passes through the one-sided opening / closing structure 25, and reaches the drum located above, where it is wound around.

[0027] The tube 26 restricts to a certain degree the position and degree of freedom of movement of the fishing line, which is in the sea at its bottom and wound up on the drum at its top, before and after passing through the guide section 23. In other words, it is possible to suppress fluctuations in the direction of the fishing line and the direction of the squid hooked on it and align them to a certain degree. This allows the fishing line to be reeled in while controlling to a certain degree the movements of the fishing line and the hooked squid before and after passing through the guide section 23, and also reduces the risk of the squid becoming detached from the fishing line or being damaged.

[0028] The above-mentioned regulating action of the tubular body 26 on the fishing line is mainly performed by the edge of its lower end (open end) 26R and the upper end, i.e., the one-sided opening and closing structure 25, but is particularly affected by the edge of the open end 26R. By using this edge as a turning point for the fishing line, the fishing line is tensioned linearly without any excess slack, making it easier to adjust and control the direction of the fishing line or the positional relationship between the fishing line and the drum. The adjustment and control of such positional relationship will be described later with reference to Figure 6 etc.

[0029] There are no particular limitations on the specific specifications of the tube 26. In other words, for example, the length, inner diameter, cross-sectional shape, and further the material and properties of the tube 26 can be appropriately designed as long as they can smoothly pass the fishing line and squid upward and can sufficiently achieve the above-mentioned regulating effect.

[0030] As shown in the figure, the one-sided opening / closing structure 25 can be composed of a plurality of opening / closing plates 25a, 25b, 25c, and 25d pivoted to the receiving portion 22. These opening / closing plates 25a, etc. can be formed so as to close by natural drop after the squid caught on the squid fishing line is passed upward. In the configuration example shown in the figure, the number of opening / closing plates 25a, etc. is four, but this is only an example and the number is not limited. In the example shown in the figure, the shapes of the opening / closing plates 25a, etc. are all the same, but they may of course be configured differently.

[0031] Figures 3 and 3-2 are explanatory side cross-sectional views (part 1 and part 2, respectively) showing the main parts of an example of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention equipped with a one-sided opening and closing structure using an elastic body, the former showing the state before the squid passes, and the latter showing the state during the squid's passage. As shown in these figures, the one-sided opening and closing structure 35 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 310 can be constructed using an elastic body. The one-sided opening and closing structure 35 can be constructed from multiple elastic pieces 35a, 35b, etc.

[0032] The elastic pieces 35a etc. are normally in a position that forms part of the receiving portion and forms a narrow opening 34 (Fig. 3), but when a squid S passes from below to above (Fig. 3-2), the central portion that forms the opening 34 is pushed upward by the squid S, and the position widens the opening 34. After the squid S has passed, they return to their normal position (Fig. 3) and form part of the receiving portion, fulfilling the function of catching the squid as it falls from above.

[0033] The elastic pieces 35a, etc. can be formed using an appropriate elastic material such as synthetic rubber. The design and specifications, such as a combination of materials and shapes with different elasticity, can be appropriately determined so that the elastic pieces 35a, etc. can be bent in one direction by an external force but not easily bent in the opposite direction.

[0034] Fig. 4 is a plan view of the main part of a configuration example of a squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention, which is equipped with a one-sided opening and closing structure made of multiple elastic pieces. As shown in the figure, the one-sided opening and closing structure 45 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism can be composed of multiple elastic pieces 45a, 45b, ... arranged to form an opening 44 in the center. In the figure, the number of elastic pieces 45a, etc. is 11, but it goes without saying that the number, shape, and uniformity of the shapes are not limited to the example shown in the figure.

[0035] 5 is a side cross-sectional view of the main part of an example of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention, which has a tube body formed with a radius. As shown in the figure, at least one open end 56R of the tube body 56 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 510 can be formed with a radius, i.e., a rounded shape. When the above-mentioned open end 65R regulates and allows the fishing line to pass, if the turning point of the fishing line is an acute angle or a right angle, there is a high possibility of damage to the fishing line and the hooked squid. If the open end 56R is radiused, this is reduced, and better effects can be obtained.

[0036] The scope of the present invention also includes a squid fishing machine 30 etc. that is equipped with a squid fishing line guide mechanism 10 etc. of any of the configurations described above and a drum 20 etc. for winding up the squid fishing line that is arranged above the squid fishing line guide mechanism 10 etc.

[0037] FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the configuration of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention equipped with an opening-drum position adjustment means. Fig. 6-2 is a plan view explanatory diagram showing the operation of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention having the configuration shown in Fig. 6. As shown in these figures, in addition to the configuration shown above, the squid fishing machine 630 of the present invention can be configured to have an opening-drum position adjustment means 67 for adjusting the positional relationship between the opening 64 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 610 and the drum 620, or an opening-drum position adjustment means 67.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 6-2, the opening-drum position adjusting means 67 acts on the drum 620 to adjust its horizontal position back and forth and left and right to match the opening 64 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 610, and moves it horizontally Hm. On the other hand, the opening-drum position adjusting means 68 acts on the squid fishing line guide mechanism 610 to adjust its horizontal position back and forth and left and right to match the drum 620. A configuration in which both of these 67 and 68 are provided is not excluded from the present invention, but a sufficient effect can be obtained by providing either one of the opening-drum position adjusting means.

[0039] In addition, the term "horizontal" here does not refer to the direction of gravity (vertical direction), but refers to a plane parallel to the receiving portion 62 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 610. In addition, the "vertical position" of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 610 and the drum 620 in which the opening 64 is formed, that is, the vertical positional fluctuation, is not excluded from being adjusted in order to adjust the "horizontal position". The above also applies to the following explanations.

[0040] In this way, the opening-drum position adjustment means 67 and the like are provided to adjust the planar positional relationship between the opening 64 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 610 and the drum 620 to ensure smooth winding of the squid fishing line with a squid hooked thereon and reliable reception of the falling squid that has fallen off the squid fishing line by the reception part 62. Note that the adjustment of the positional relationship does not necessarily mean that the horizontal positions of the opening 64 and the drum 620 are the same. Rather, it may be better for them to be misaligned, and it may also be better to change the positional relationship depending on the situation.

[0041] The specific configuration and specifications of the opening-drum position adjustment means 67 and the like can be designed as appropriate. For flexible adjustment according to the situation, a highly manual structure is rather preferable, but the inclusion of automated elements is not excluded from the present invention.

[0042] FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the configuration of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention having an intermediate guide portion. Fig. 7-2 is a plan view explanatory diagram showing the operation of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention configured as shown in Fig. 7. As shown in the figure, the squid fishing machine 730 can be configured to have an intermediate guide section 79 for hanging the squid fishing line between the opening 74 and the drum 720 in order to adjust the positional relationship between the opening 74 of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 710 and the pulling direction of the squid fishing line wound around the drum 720. The specific structure and specifications of the intermediate guide section 79 are not particularly limited as long as it can hang the squid fishing line. For example, even a circular ring as shown in the figure can provide a sufficient operation (Fig. 7-2).

[0043] With this configuration, in the squid fishing machine 730, the squid fishing line is hung on the intermediate guide part 79 provided at a position between the opening 74 at the bottom and the drum 720 at the top, and the horizontal positional relationship between the opening 74 and the pulling direction of the squid fishing line hung around the drum 720 is adjusted. As shown in the figure, an intermediate guide part adjustment means 71 for adjusting the horizontal position of the intermediate guide part 79 may be provided.

[0044] The present invention does not exclude a configuration including all three of the above-described opening-drum position adjustment means 67, opening-drum position adjustment means 68 (FIGS. 6 and 6-2), and intermediate guide section 79 and intermediate guide section adjustment means 71 (FIGS. 7 and 7-2). Of course, a configuration including any two of these is also not excluded. However, even with only one of these, the effect of adjusting and controlling the positional relationship between the opening and the drum can be sufficiently obtained.

[0045] 8 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the configuration of the squid fishing line guide mechanism of the present invention equipped with an auxiliary receiving part. As shown in the figure, the squid fishing machine 830 of the present invention can be configured to have an auxiliary receiving part 812 provided at a height between the drum 820 and the squid fishing line guide mechanism 810 to auxiliary receive the squid that falls off the fishing line, etc.

[0046] In the squid fishing machine 830 having such a configuration, the squid that falls after coming off the fishing line can be assisted by the auxiliary receiving part 812 located at a height between the drum 820 and the squid fishing line guide mechanism 810. Any squid that cannot be received here can be received by the receiving part 82 below.

[0047] The specific specifications and structure of the auxiliary receiving part 812 are not particularly limited, as long as it has a structure capable of receiving a falling squid at the very least, similar to the receiving part 82. In other words, it may be flat. However, it can be designed and is recommended to have a shape and structure that prevents the received squid from rebounding and going overboard, or that prevents the falling squid from bouncing back into the boat or sliding into the sea even if it is not caught by the receiving part 82.

[0048] In addition, in order to prevent damage to the squid's body and the resulting decline in marketability when the falling squid collides with the auxiliary receiving portion 812, it is possible to appropriately use a shock-absorbing material for the auxiliary receiving portion 812. EXAMPLES

[0049] Examples of the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited thereto. FIG. 9 is a perspective photograph showing the main part of the squid fishing machine according to the embodiment of the present invention. Figures 10, 11, and 12 are photographs of the embodiment shown in Figure 9 from above, below, and of the tube body, respectively. As shown in the figures, the one-sided opening and closing structure 95 is formed of four opening and closing plates 95a, 95b, 95c, and 95d. In addition, the receiving part 92 is provided with a plurality of small holes for draining water.

[0050] A test was conducted under the condition that the novelty under the Patent Law was maintained by the squid fishing machine 930 of this embodiment. Several squids were hooked on the fishing line (hook), and the fishing line was hung from the lower part of the squid fishing line guide mechanism 910 through the guide part 93 to the drum 920. The several squids were hooked on the fishing hook in a state where they could easily come off.

[0051] When the drum 920 was rotated to reel in the fishing line, the fishing line, with a squid hooked, passed smoothly through the guide section 93 (one-sided opening / closing structure 95), and each opening / closing plate 95a etc. opened every time a squid passed, and closed immediately after the squid passed. If the squid became detached from the hook and fell after passing through the guide section 93, the falling squid was received on the receiving section 92, and was effectively prevented from falling into the sea. In addition, the falling squid was also effectively prevented from falling into the sea through the opening 94 of the one-sided opening / closing structure 95. From the above, the high effectiveness and practicality of the present invention could be confirmed. [Industrial Applicability]

[0052] According to the squid fishing line guide mechanism and squid fishing machine of the present invention, it is possible to effectively prevent the squid from falling into the sea while preventing secondary damage to the caught squid. Therefore, this invention has high industrial applicability in the squid fishing industry, the squid fishing machine manufacturing industry, and all related fields. [Explanation of symbols]
