Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of spool technology, and specifically to a spool having a thread winding assisting function.

Background Art

[0002] A spool is a core device that assists in performing "thread winding" (wrapping fishing line around a reel) by winding and releasing the fishing line during fishing activities. It is usually used in combination with a reel (such as a spinning reel, bait reel, etc.) and is one of the important components of fishing tackle.

[0003] During fishing activities, the thread winding operation on the spool directly affects the user experience. When using a conventional spool, it is necessary to use a dedicated thread winding machine or have someone assist in fixing the thread winding disc. The operation is cumbersome and lacks portability, making it difficult for a single person to wind the thread. Moreover, during the thread winding process, due to the lack of stable resistance, the thread winding disc is prone to idling, resulting in uneven winding of the fishing line and even dropping off, which affects the fishing efficiency.

[0007] A preferred solution of the present invention is that the quick-release assembly includes a rotating ring rotatably connected inside a spool of thread, a disc fixedly connected to the front of the rotating ring, an insertion rod slidably connected in the front-rear direction inside the disc, a pressing block fixedly connected to the front of the insertion rod, a protruding column rotatably connected to the inside of the spool of thread with its position restricted, a push-up rod slidably connected in the front-rear direction inside the protruding column, a knob fixedly connected to one end of the push-up rod away from the insertion rod, four fixed shafts fixedly connected inside the disc, and a rotating rod rotatably connected to the outside of each of the four fixed shafts, with a sliding block provided on the outside of one end of the rotating rod away from the fixed shaft.

[0008] A preferred solution of this invention is that the sliding block is slidably connected in the front-rear direction inside an elastic fastener, the knob is slidably connected inside a protruding column, and storage grooves are provided at corresponding positions of the protruding column and the knob.

[0009] A preferred solution of this invention is that four ribs are fixedly connected to the outside of the insertion rod, the insertion rod abuts against the thrust rod, insertion grooves are made at corresponding positions on the protruding column and the thrust rod, the insertion rod is inserted into the insertion grooves, and one end of the resistance rod away from the fixing band abuts against the resistance groove.

[0010] A preferred solution of the present invention is that the auxiliary assembly includes two anti-detachment posts fixedly connected to the front of the knob, a first tension spring is provided between the two anti-detachment posts and the protruding post, and two arc-shaped blocks are fixedly connected to the outside of the insertion rod.

[0011] A preferred solution of the present invention is that the two arc-shaped blocks are spaced apart between the four ribs, and both ends of the first tension spring are fixed to a fall-prevention column and a protruding column, respectively, with the fall-prevention column being slidably connected to the inside of the protruding column.

[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. The quick-attachment design of the fixing band and elastic fastener allows the spinning wheel to be driven and rotated simply by pinching the fixing band, without the need for a dedicated spinning wheel or assistance from others. This solves the conventional cumbersome problem of requiring multiple people or tools for spinning, and greatly improves ease of use.

[0016] 2. By combining a nitrile rubber resistance rod with a corrugated resistance groove, stable rotational resistance is provided through elastic deformation and collision, effectively preventing the winding disc from spinning freely, ensuring that the fishing line is wound uniformly, and guaranteeing stability and high efficiency in the winding process.

[0017] 3. The quick-release assembly, by linking the elastic fastener via a rotating ring and rotating rod, allows for quick removal of the retaining band and replacement of the worn resistance rod.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, the following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention while referring to the specification and drawings. (Example 1)

[0021] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 9, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a spool with a thread winding assisting function and includes a quick release component. The quick release component includes a thread winding disk 10 provided with four elastic fasteners 11 inside. Outside the four elastic fasteners 11, a fixed band 12 to which a resistance bar 13 is fixedly connected on the outside is provided. A resistance groove 14 is opened inside the thread winding disk 10. Inside the thread winding disk 10, a quick release assembly 15 adapted to the elastic fasteners 11 is provided. Inside the inner side of the thread winding disk 10, an auxiliary assembly 16 adapted to the quick release assembly 15 is provided.

[0022] Here, for the resistance bar 13, nitrile rubber, which is an elastic material having a certain flexibility, is adopted to provide a stable rotational resistance. When the resistance bar 13 is driven by the fixed band 12 to rotate, the resistance bar 13 collides with the undulations of the resistance groove 14. The resistance bar 13 cooperates with the resistance groove 14 by its own elastic deformation to give a certain resistance to the rotating thread winding disk 10, thereby realizing a stable thread winding.

[0023] Furthermore, the quick-release assembly 15 includes a rotating ring 151 rotatably connected inside the spinning wheel 10, a disc 152 fixedly connected to the front of the rotating ring 151, an insertion rod 153 slidably connected in the front-rear direction inside the disc 152, a pressing block 154 fixedly connected to the front of the insertion rod 153, a protruding column 155 rotatably connected to the inside of the spinning wheel 10 with its position restricted, a push-up rod 156 slidably connected in the front-rear direction inside the protruding column 155, a knob 157 fixedly connected to one end of the push-up rod 156 away from the insertion rod 153, four fixed shafts fixedly connected inside the disc 152, and outside the four fixed shafts, A rotating rod 158 is rotatably connected to each of them, and a sliding block 159 is provided on the outside of one end of the rotating rod 158 away from the fixed shaft, and the sliding block 159 is slidably connected in the front-rear direction inside the elastic fastener 11, the knob 157 is slidably connected inside the protruding column 155, and storage grooves are opened at corresponding positions on the protruding column 155 and the knob 157, four ribs are fixedly connected to the outside of the insertion rod 153, the insertion rod 153 abuts against the push-up rod 156, and insertion grooves are opened at corresponding positions on the protruding column 155 and the push-up rod 156, and the insertion rod 153 is inserted into the insertion grooves, and one end of the resistance rod 13 away from the fixed band 12 abuts against the groove 14.

[0024] Here, the sliding block 159 can slide a small distance in the front-rear direction inside the elastic fastener 11. As a result, when the rotating rod 158 is deflected by the rotation of the disc 152, and the sliding block 159 is pulled, causing the elastic fastener 11 to tilt, the sliding block 159 can slide inside the elastic fastener 11. By correcting the front-rear displacement caused by the tilting of the elastic fastener 11, the sliding block 159 and the rotating rod 158 are always positioned on the same vertical plane. As a result, when the disc 152 is deflected, the rotating rod 158 and the sliding block 159 are more likely to retract into the disc 152, and the elastic fastener 11 is more likely to move closer to the disc 152 and tilt. Furthermore, if the displacement is not corrected, problems such as deformation of the parts due to distortion of the connection surface between the sliding block 159 and the elastic fastener 11 can be avoided.

[0025] Preferably, the auxiliary assembly 16 includes two anti-detachment posts 161 fixedly connected to the front of the knob 157, each of which is provided with a first tension spring 162 between the two anti-detachment posts 161 and the protruding post 155, and two arc-shaped blocks 163 fixedly connected to the outside of the insertion rod 153, which are spaced apart between the four ribs, and both ends of the first tension spring 162 are fixed to the anti-detachment posts 161 and the protruding post 155, respectively, and the anti-detachment posts 161 are slidably connected inside the protruding post 155.

[0026] What needs to be explained is that when the knob 157 is rotated, under the cooperation of the push-up rod 156 and the protruding column 155, and under the cooperation of the two fall-prevention columns 161 and the protruding column 155, the protruding column 155 is driven and rotates synchronously and stably, reducing wear on the insertion grooves in the push-up rod 156 and the protruding column 155, and extending the service life of the device. Furthermore, the knob 157 is securely stored in the storage groove of the protruding column 155 under the action of the first tension spring 162 and the fall-prevention column 161, so that the knob 157 does not move unintentionally when the spinning wheel 10 is used normally, thereby preventing the insertion rod 15 from being pushed.

[0027] When in use, the fixing band 12 is fitted onto the reeling disc 10 under the action of four elastic fasteners 11, completing the assembly of the fixing band 12 and the reeling disc 10. When the fixing band 12 is grasped, the reel is driven to rotate the reeling disc 10, thereby winding the fishing line from the outside of the reeling disc 10 onto the reel. By simply grasping the fixing band 12, one person can wind the fishing line, avoiding the problems of existing technologies that require the purchase of a dedicated reeling machine or require assistance from others to complete the winding of the fishing line. The design of the resistance rod 13 and resistance groove 14 enables one person to wind the fishing line, making it convenient and quick.

[0028] In the initial state, the knob 157 is housed inside the storage groove of the protruding column 155 under the action of the fall prevention column 161 and the first tension spring 162. At this time, one end of the push-up rod 156 away from the knob 157 is flush with the front surface of the protruding column 155, and the push-up rod 156 is in contact with the insertion rod 153. At this time, the rotation of the protruding column 155 and the rotating ring 151 does not affect each other. If the resistance rod 13 becomes severely worn due to prolonged use and can no longer provide resistance to the rotation of the spool winding machine 10, the pressing block 154 is pressed backward. The insertion rod 153 is driven and slid backward inside the disc 152, thereby inserting the insertion rod 153 into the protruding column 155. Since there are four ribs on the outside of the insertion rod 153, after the insertion rod 153 is inserted into the protruding column 155, it rotates in sync with the protruding column 155, and as the insertion rod 153 moves, it pushes the push rod 156 and slides inside the protruding column 155, thereby disengaging the knob 157 from the storage groove and protruding to the outside of the protruding column 155. After the pressing block 154 is fully pressed, the knob 157 is grasped with the right hand and rotated, and the sliding block Because 159 is located in the middle of the elastic fastener 11, it can rotate both clockwise and counterclockwise. This causes the push-up rod 156 to rotate, driven by the knob 157, which in turn rotates the protruding column 155 to drive the insertion rod 153 to rotate. As a result, the disc 152 rotates, and at this time, the four fixed axes inside the disc 152 move away from the straight line connecting the center of the sliding block 159 and the center of the disc 152. This causes the rotating rod 158 to deflect around the fixed axis, which in turn pulls the sliding block 159. Meanwhile, the elastic fastener 11 remains constant. The elastic fasteners 11 are pulled and simultaneously recessed inward by the cooperation of the rotating rod 158 and the sliding block 159 as the sliding block 159 is pulled, allowing for quick removal of the fixing band 12. At this time, the fixing band 12 can be pulled away from the outside of the winding plate 10 and the elastic fasteners 11, thereby allowing for the replacement of the worn resistance rod 13. After that, the new fixing band 12 can be fitted onto the winding plate 10 to restore the resistance effect on the winding plate 10 and ensure the winding effect.

[0029] After the removal of the fixing band 12 is complete, the knob 157 is released, and at this time, driven by the repulsion of the first tension spring 162, the fall prevention column 161 slides inside the protruding column 155, and the knob 157 moves inside the protruding column 155 under the action of the first tension spring 162 and the fall prevention column 161, and the push rod 156 is driven by the knob 157 to push the insertion rod 153, and when the knob 157 is fully retracted into the storage groove of the protruding column 155, the insertion rod 153 is released from inside the protruding column 155, and at this time the protruding column 155 and the disc 152 no longer rotate in sync, and at this time the new fixing band 12 is fitted into the spool 10, and when fitted, the four elastic fasteners 11 Under the action of the fixing band 12, the disc 152 and rotating ring 151 are recessed inward, causing them to rotate and the insertion rod 153 to detach from the protruding column 155. As a result, the rotation of the disc 152 does not affect the position of the protruding column 155. After the fixing band 12 is installed, the four elastic fasteners 11 are driven to return to their original positions, and the disc 152 returns to its initial state. This state is maintained until the newly installed resistance rod 13 breaks and needs to be replaced again. The separable design of the fixing band 12 and the winding wheel 10 means that if damaged, only the low-cost fixing band 12 needs to be replaced, extending the service life of the equipment and consequently reducing operating costs. (Example 2)

[0030] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, this is a second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the above embodiment in the following ways. This embodiment provides a malfunction prevention component and includes a lifting block 20 that is slidably connected vertically inside the spindle winding machine 10, with a positioning ball 21 fitted inside the lifting block 20, a second tension spring 22 provided between the lifting block 20 and the spindle winding machine 10, two positioning grooves 23 opened inside the protruding column 155, the positioning ball 21 abutting against the inside of the positioning grooves 23, and both ends of the second tension spring 22 fixed to the lifting block 20 and the spindle winding machine 10, respectively.

[0031] Specifically, the arc-shaped block 163 is attached to the gap between the ribs of the insertion rod 153, and the arc-shaped block 163 and the pressing block 154 are provided on both sides of the disc 152, so that the insertion rod 153 is securely positioned inside the disc 152 and does not come off. Furthermore, the design of the arc-shaped block 163 allows for adjustment of the insertion groove of the protruding column 155, so that if the insertion groove and the arc-shaped block 163 are misaligned, the insertion rod 153 will not be connected to the protruding column 155. The elastic fasteners 11 are always separated from the disc 152 by their own properties, thereby ensuring secure attachment of the fixing band 12 to the winding plate 10. When the arc-shaped block 163 is aligned with the insertion groove, it pushes the insertion rod 153 into contact with the protruding column 155, thereby enabling the rotation of the disc 152. Under the action of the rotating rod 158 and the sliding block 159, the four elastic fasteners 11 are synchronously pulled inward, thereby enabling the quick release of the fixing band 12.

[0032] When replacing the fixing band 12 during use, in order to facilitate alignment and insertion of the insertion rod 153 and the protruding column 155, the lifting block 20 drives the positioning ball 21 under the action of the second tension spring 22 to engage it inside the positioning groove 23 of the protruding column 155. After the replacement of the fixing band 12 is completed, the knob 157 is pressed to push the insertion rod 153 out of the protruding column 155, thereby releasing the synchronized rotation of the insertion rod 153 and the protruding column 155. Then, the knob 157 is pulled to detach it from the storage groove of the protruding column 155, at which time the knob 157 is turned clockwise. The pressing block 154 is rotated 90 degrees (when viewed from the front), causing the knob 157 to drive the protruding column 155 under the action of the fall prevention column 161 and the push-up rod 156, rotating it 90 degrees clockwise. Under the rotational force of the protruding column 155, the positioning ball 21 detaches from inside the positioning groove 23. At this time, the positioning ball 21 comes into close contact with the protruding column 155 under the action of the second tension spring 22. After rotating 90 degrees, the positioning ball 21 aligns with the position of another positioning groove 23, and at this time, the positioning ball 21 engages inside the positioning groove 23, making a "click" sound. A sound is heard, and at this time the rotation of the knob 157 stops and is released. Driven by the repulsion of the first tension spring 162, the fall prevention column 161 returns to its original position, thereby storing the knob 157 inside the storage groove. The position of the protruding column 155 is locked by the cooperation of the positioning ball 21 and the positioning groove 23, and unless a strong twisting force is applied by an external force, the protruding column 155 will not rotate. Because the back of the protruding column 155 is slightly lower than the back of the thread winding plate 10, the protruding column 155 will not come into contact with the winding plate 10 during normal use, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the protruding column 155. This further ensures that, after the protruding column 155 rotates, the insertion groove inside it and the arc-shaped block 163 outside the insertion rod 153 are misaligned. As a result, when the pressing block 154 is pressed, the insertion rod 153 is not aligned and inserted into the inside of the protruding column 155. This avoids the problem of the disc 152 being deflected due to misoperation of the pressing block 154 when using the spinning wheel 10, which affects the stability between the fixing band 12 and the spinning wheel 10. This ensures the attachment of the fixing band 12 to the spinning wheel 10, thereby facilitating quick spinning.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and that all such modifications should be included within the scope of the utility model registration claims of the present invention.
