[0023] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a locking device according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Components common to multiple drawings are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the multiple drawings. The drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale for ease of illustration. Please note that there is no.

[0024] First, with reference to FIG. 1, a fishing reel 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in the figure, a fishing reel 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a spool 3 for winding a fishing line and An operating unit 4 for rotating the spool 3 and a switch for switching whether or not power transmission between the operating unit and the spool is possible. A clutch 2 that switches the spool 3, a rotation detector 5 that detects the rotation of the spool 3, and a throw preparation detector a throw preparation start detection unit 6 for detecting the start of throw preparation, a throw end detection unit 7 for detecting the end of throwing, and A history data generating unit 8 that generates history data up until the end of the throwing, and a storage unit 9 that stores the history data. The device is configured to include a storage unit 9.

[0025] According to the fishing reel 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, various history data during casting and retrieval are recorded. By making the data available at any time, users can improve their casting technique and catch more fish. It becomes Noh.

[0026] Here, the spool 3 is rotatably supported on the fishing reel 1, and when rotated forward, The fishing line can be wound up and released by rotating the reel in the reverse direction. For example, the handle is configured as a handle, and the rotation operation of the user is transmitted to the steering wheel via a transmission mechanism such as a gear. The operation unit 4 is a lever or other operating unit. It may be a combination of a working member and a power source such as a motor.

[0027] The clutch 2 has an ON state in which power can be transmitted to the spool 3, and an OFF state in which power is not transmitted. In the ON state, the spool 3 is operated in the forward direction by the operating member 3. In the OFF state, the operation can be performed in the forward and reverse directions regardless of the state of the operating member 3. (spool free state).

[0028] The rotation detector 5 includes a detection means such as a photointerrupter and a light-shielding device provided on the spool 3. The spool can be configured in combination with a detection means such as a plate. The rotation of the sensor 3 can be converted into an electrical signal. The means is not limited to the above example, and known means such as a magnet and a magnetic sensor can be used.

[0029] Here, the throw preparation start detection unit 6, the throw end detection unit 7, the history data generation unit 8, and the storage unit 9 are This is realized as a program in a microcomputer, the details of which will be described later. A clutch state detection means for detecting the state of the clutch 2 may be provided. By providing a detection means and detecting its position with a magnetic sensor or the like, the state of the clutch can be electrically can be converted into a signal.

[0030] Next, we will demonstrate how to cast and retrieve fishing gear such as lures using general reels, including this reel. An example of the procedure will be described with reference to FIG. 8. First, as shown in FIG. 8(a), After adjusting the lure 20 to a predetermined length from the tip of the rod using the member 3, the clutch 2 is turned off. Set the spool to the free state. At this time, the fishing line will come out due to the weight of the lure 20, etc. Hold spool 3 with your thumb to prevent this.

[0031] Then, as shown in FIG. 8(b) to (d), the fishing rod is swung to impart initial velocity to the lure 20. Next, as shown in Figure 8(e), the time when the speed and direction of the lure became appropriate was selected. When you release your thumb from spool 3, you can cast the lure.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8(g), after casting, the lure is affected by the tension from the fishing line and the air resistance. Meanwhile, spool 3 starts to rotate in the reverse direction due to the tension from the fishing line. When the fishing line release speed and the lure flight speed match, spool 3 rotates at its maximum speed. The fishing line loses tension. The lure continues to stall due to air resistance, etc. When lure 3 continues to rotate at high speed due to inertia, the release speed of the fishing line exceeds the flight speed of the lure. This causes excess fishing line to be released and tangled in the reel. To this end, a predetermined braking force is applied to the spool 3 by a braking device 7.

[0033] When the lure's altitude drops sufficiently, it will land on the water. If the braking force is too large at this time, the lure will The distance that the fishing line can be thrown will be shortened. If the braking force is too small, the line will get tangled. The appropriate braking force depends on the size of the lure and the rod. It changes depending on various influences, such as the throwing method and natural conditions such as wind, as well as the length of the throwing ball.

[0034] After the lure hits the water, it is sunk to a predetermined depth, and then the lure is released by operating the operating unit 3. This is how you get the fish to bite the lure. The fishing speed can affect the catch.

[0037] Next, in step S3, the rotation detector 5 detects the rotation of the spool 3. Check if rotation of the pool is detected. If rotation is detected, measure the specified distance. After increasing the value (L=L+1), the process returns to step S3. Note that the distance L is the rotation speed of the spool 3. It may be the amount of rotation, or the amount of fishing line released corrected for the change in radius of the spool 3.

[0038] In step S3, the rotation detector 5 detects the rotation of the spool 3. If the rotation of the target is not detected, the process proceeds to the next step. The throwing end detection unit 7 detects whether the throwing is finished. If not, the process returns to step S3.

[0039] If the throwing is completed, the process proceeds to step S5. A history data generating unit 8 generates history data from the throwing end to the throwing end. and proceed to the next step.

[0040] In step S6, a storage unit for storing the history data generated in step S5 The history data stored or generated by the 9 is sent to the outside by a communication processing unit described later. This allows you to send information to external devices such as computers, smartphones, other reels, etc. It can be transmitted, and data can be viewed and recorded.

[0041] Here, the history data will be described. The history data may be, for example, a single It may be a transition of the distance L at regular intervals, or it may be only the final flight distance L. By differentiating the spool speed change, the braking force change over time, the maximum speed of the fishing line, and the spring speed are calculated. In addition, the maximum number of rotations of the ball may be included in the total number of throws for each day by tallying up multiple throws. The throw history may be recorded, or all throw data for that reel may be recorded.

[0042] According to the fishing reel 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, various history data during casting and retrieval are recorded. By making the data available at any time, users can improve their casting technique and catch more fish. In other words, by understanding the relationship between throwing distance and braking force setting, it is possible to optimize the braking force setting. Also, by recording the number of throws and the throwing distance, it is possible to improve the throwing method. It can be connected.
