Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing spinning reel in which, by rotating a handle, a rotor is rotated and a fishing line is wound onto a spool through a fishing line guide provided on the rotor, and a fishing rod equipped with the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, fishing spinning reels are attached to a fishing rod via a rod attachment portion formed at the end of a leg extending from the reel body. A handle shaft, to which a handle is fixed, is rotatably supported on the reel body. A drive gear is fixed to the handle shaft, and the drive gear meshes with teeth formed on the outer periphery of the base end of a drive shaft extending perpendicular to the handle shaft and rotatably supported on the reel body. The drive shaft is supported via a rolling bearing that restricts axial movement. A rotor is integrally attached to the tip end, and a spool shaft extends perpendicular to the handle shaft and penetrates the drive shaft. A spool, around which fishing line is wound, is attached to the tip end of the spool shaft. The spool shaft reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft by a spool reciprocating mechanism (oscillating mechanism) that converts rotational force from the handle into back-and-forth movement of the spool shaft.

[0003] In this way, in a fishing spinning reel, when the handle is turned, the rotor rotates while the spool shaft moves back and forth, and the fishing line is wound onto the spool via the rotor's fishing line guide, so during this winding operation, a load is applied to the drive shaft from the fishing line wound onto the spool via the rotor. Normally, a rolling bearing that rotatably supports this drive shaft has an outer ring fixed to the reel body via a fixing member, and an inner ring sandwiched between the drive shaft and the rotor, thereby restricting axial movement of the drive shaft, and by fixing the rotor to the drive shaft, the rotor is supported in a predetermined position.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an example of such a spinning reel for fishing. The spinning reel is configured to be attached to a fishing rod and includes a reel body with a handle and attachable to the fishing rod, a cylindrical portion rotatably supported at the front of the reel body, first and second arms positioned on opposite sides of the cylindrical portion across the rotation axis and integrally molded with the cylindrical portion, a first bail support member attached to the tip of the first arm and having a line guide at its tip, a second bail support member attached to the tip of the second arm, and a bail extending from the first bail support member to the second bail support member. The spinning reel is also equipped with a rotor rotated by the handle, and a spool located between the first and second arms, wherein the distance from the rotation axis of the rotor to the center of gravity of the second bail support member is longer than the distance from the rotation axis of the rotor to the center of gravity of the first bail support member including the line guide.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-246045 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] When the pinion gear tooth surface and the drive gear tooth surface come into contact in the forward line winding direction, the pinion gear receives a force in the opposite direction, so even if there is backlash in the pinion axial direction, the pinion gear is pressed down. However, if the input in the line winding direction is discontinuous or line winding is stopped, the force pressing down on the pinion gear does not work, so the pinion gear floats up. This movement is transmitted to the winding side through the handle as backlash, causing discomfort to the operator. On the other hand, if a washer is inserted in the pinion gear axial direction to eliminate backlash in order to reduce backlash, the rotation becomes heavy when winding the line, impairing smooth rotation.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a fishing spinning reel and a fishing rod equipped with the same that can prevent the pinion gear from floating up by pushing the pinion gear downward in the axial direction, whether before winding the line, during the line winding operation, or after line winding has stopped. Other objects of the present invention will become apparent by reading this entire specification. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of a fishing spinning reel and a fishing rod according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Components common to multiple drawings are designated by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings. Please note that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale for the sake of convenience.

[0017] 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a fishing rod according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the fishing rod 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a fishing spinning reel 6, which will be described later.

[0018] Next, the basic structure of the fishing spinning reel 6 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0019] A fishing spinning reel according to one embodiment of the present invention has a reel body 12a, legs 12b extending from the reel body 12a, and a rod attachment portion 12c formed at the end of the legs 12b and attached to a fishing rod. A winding drive mechanism for winding fishing line onto a spool 14 is provided within the reel body 12a. Specifically, a handle shaft 18 to which a handle 16 is fixed is rotatably supported within the reel body 12a. A drive gear 20 is fixed to the handle shaft 18, and this drive gear 20 meshes with a pinion gear 22a.

[0020] The pinion gear 22a extends in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 18 and is mounted on the reel body 12a through a bearing 24 (to be described later). 1 ,twenty four 2 The drive shaft 22 is rotatably supported via a drive cylinder shaft 23. A rotor 28 having a bail 26 and a fishing line guide 27 is integrally attached to the tip of the drive shaft (drive cylinder shaft) 22.

[0021] A spool shaft 30, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 18, passes through the drive shaft 22. The spool shaft 30 is arranged concentrically with the drive shaft 22 and can move back and forth within the drive shaft 22 in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft 18. The spool 14, which is used to wind the fishing line, is attached to the tip of the spool shaft 30.

[0022] In addition, a gear 36 that meshes with an interlocking gear 34 of an oscillating mechanism (reciprocating mechanism) 32 is formed on the handle shaft 18. The oscillating mechanism 32 of this embodiment is of a so-called gear type and includes an interlocking gear 34 that meshes with the gear 36 and rotates interlocked therewith, an engaging protrusion 34a that protrudes from the interlocking gear 34 and is positioned eccentrically from the central axis of rotation of the interlocking gear 34, a slider 38 that is attached to the rear end of the spool shaft 30 via a screw 31 and has a cam groove 38a that engages with the engaging protrusion 34a, and a guide rail 40 that engages with the slider 38 and guides the reciprocating movement of the slider 38. In this oscillating mechanism 32, when the handle shaft 18 is rotated by rotating the handle 16, the interlocking gear 34 that meshes with the gear 36 on the handle shaft 18 rotates, and in response, the engaging protrusion 34a of the interlocking gear 34 rotates, and the slider 38 reciprocates back and forth guided by the cam groove 38a that engages with the engaging protrusion 34a. Therefore, the spool shaft 30 attached to the slider 38 reciprocates (moves back and forth) along the axial direction.

[0023] When the operating part (handle) 16 is rotated to rotate the handle shaft 18, the spool 14 attached to the spool shaft 30 reciprocates back and forth via the oscillating mechanism 32, and the drive gear 20 The rotor 28 is driven to rotate via the pinion gear 22a and the drive shaft 22. In this way, the fishing line is wound evenly around the spool 14 via the fishing line guide portion 27.

[0024] Furthermore, the end of a switching rod 42 of a reverse prevention mechanism equipped with a well-known one-way clutch 40 that prevents reverse rotation of the rotor 28 (rotation in the fishing line-releasing direction) penetrates through the rear end wall 13 of the reel body 12a, and a switching lever 42a is attached to the end of the switching rod 42 that protrudes outward from the rear end wall 13. Via this switching lever 42a, the rotor 28 can be switched between a state in which it is capable of forward and reverse rotation and a state in which it is capable of forward rotation but not reverse rotation. The one-way clutch 40 has an inner ring 40a that is fitted to the drive shaft 22 so as to be anti-rotatable, a retainer 40b that is disposed outside the inner ring 40a and that holds multiple rolling members R, and an outer ring 40c that is disposed outside the retainer 40b.

[0025] The rotor 28 is fixed by being sandwiched between, for example, a hexagonal nut 44 that is screwed onto the tip of the drive shaft 22 and an inner ring 40a of the one-way clutch 40. A female screw 44a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the shaft of the hexagonal nut 44, and by screwing this female screw 44a into a male screw formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the drive shaft 22, hexagonal A nut 44 is fastened to the drive shaft 22. The outer peripheral surface of the head of this hexagonal nut 44 engages with the head of a screw member 45 that is threaded into the rotor 28, and this screw member 45 prevents the hexagonal nut 44 from rotating.

[0026] 3, a recessed annular storage groove 44b is formed on the inner periphery of the head of the hexagonal nut 44. A rolling bearing 48 that rotatably supports the spool shaft 30 via a resin collar 46a is housed in this storage groove 44b. In this embodiment, to prevent the rolling bearing 48 from slipping out of the storage groove 44b, a flat head screw 49 is threadedly engaged with the end face of the hexagonal nut 44, and the rolling bearing 48 is locked via the head of the flat head screw 49. At the rear of the drive shaft 22, the spool shaft 30 is supported by the drive shaft 22 and the reel body 12a via the resin collar 46b. An extremely small gap S is formed between the inner periphery of the drive shaft 22 and the outer periphery of the spool shaft 30 by the two resin collars 46a, 46b arranged at the front and rear of the drive shaft 22. This reduces friction between the drive shaft 22 and the spool shaft 30, allowing the drive shaft 22 and the rotor 28 to rotate smoothly and integrally in conjunction with the rotation of the handle 16.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the drive shaft 22 is supported at the front of the reel body 12a by a first rolling bearing 241 and a second rolling bearing 242 in a state where its axial movement is restricted.

[0028] More specifically, the drive shaft 22 (also called the drive cylinder shaft, but referred to as the drive shaft throughout this specification) is formed so that the outer diameter of the pinion gear 22a is larger than the cylindrical portion 22b and the rear end support portion 22c, and the first rolling bearing 241, which is fitted into the stepped accommodating recess 15 formed in the reel body 12a and is prevented from moving rearward, supports the cylindrical portion 22b on the front side of the pinion gear 22a via a washer 50 between the pinion gear 22a and the first rolling bearing 241. Second Rolling bearings 24 2On the other hand, on the rod tip side (opposite the side where the one-way clutch 40 is located), a second retaining plate 54 that retains the one-way clutch 40 within the reel body 12a is fixed to the reel body 12a with a set screw. This prevents the first rolling bearing 241 from moving forward or backward, and the drive shaft 22 is restricted from moving forward in the axial direction by the first rolling bearing 241 that engages with the pinion gear 22a and the washer 50. In this embodiment, the washer 50 interposed between the pinion gear 22a and the first retaining plate 52 engages with the inner ring 241b of the first rolling bearing 241, and the first retaining plate 52 interposed between the one-way clutch 40 and the outer ring 40c engages with the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 to retain the first rolling bearing 241 within the reel body 12a, but this can also be reversed. Although a washer can be used instead of the first retaining plate 52, the present specification will be described assuming the use of the first retaining plate 52. In the fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention, a gap 29 is provided on the rear side (the second rolling bearing 242 side) of the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 as viewed in the axial direction of the drive shaft 22, so that the rear side of the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 does not come into contact with the reel body 12a. Furthermore, an elastic member, which will be described in detail later, is provided, for example, between the first retaining plate 52 and the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241. In other embodiments, an elastic member may be provided between the outer ring 40c of the one-way clutch 40 and the first retaining plate 52, or between the one-way clutch 40 and the second retaining plate 54. Details of both embodiments will be described later.

[0029] The second rolling bearing 242, which supports the rear end support portion 22c of the drive shaft 22, is housed in a support portion 17 formed integrally with the reel body 12a. This support portion 17 has a recess 17a into which an outer ring 242a of the second rolling bearing 242 is fitted, and a flange portion 17b that protrudes radially inward from the outer periphery of the rear end of this recess 17a, and the resin collar 46b is sandwiched between this flange portion 17b and the outer ring 242a of the second rolling bearing 242. This prevents the second rolling bearing 242 from moving rearward, and the axial movement of the drive shaft 22 rearward is restricted by the second rolling bearing 242, which engages with the drive shaft 22 via the pinion gear 22a.

[0030] The inner ring 242b of the second rolling bearing 242 housed in this support portion 17 is directly connected to the pinion gear 22a. The second rolling bearing 242 biases the drive shaft 22 forward (toward the first rolling bearing 241), i.e., toward the rod tip, along the axial direction of the spool shaft 30. A first holding plate 52 provided in front of the pinion gear biases the pinion gear 22 a The gap 29 between the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 and the reel body 12a allows the force of the first retaining plate 52 urging the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 to escape to the pinion gear 22a and the second rolling bearing 242 via the inner ring 241b of the first rolling bearing 241. In other words, the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 located at the front does not come into contact with the reel body 12a, allowing for a margin in the pinion gear axial direction. The inner ring 241b of the first rolling bearing 241 is urged rearward, while the inner ring 242b of the second rolling bearing 242 located at the rear is urged forward while the outer ring 242a is engaged with the reel body 12a.

[0031] In the fishing spinning reel 6 thus formed, the drive shaft 22 is connected to the first holding plate 52, the first rolling bearing 241, the pinion gear 22, and the like along the axial direction of the spool shaft 30. aThe first and second rolling bearings 241 and 242 are integrally disposed to receive the force, and a gap exists between the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 and the reel body 12a, so that the biasing force of the elastic member is not absorbed by the body but effectively acts as a preload for the rolling bearings. This absorbs minute back-and-forth movements of the drive shaft 22 caused by play between the inner and outer rings of the first and second rolling bearings 241 and 242, which restrict the axial movement of the drive shaft 22. Furthermore, vibrations of the rotor 28 coupled to the drive shaft 22, caused by slight imbalances during rotation of the rotor, are also absorbed axially. Therefore, for example, during a reeling operation, vibrations caused by the first and second rolling bearings 241 and 242 and the rotor 28 are prevented from being transmitted to the angler's hands via the reel body 12a, preventing discomfort to the angler. Furthermore, suppressing play in the rolling bearings extends the service life of the rolling bearings.

[0032] A fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention is a fishing spinning reel 6 including an operating unit 16, a reel body 12a, a drive shaft 22 rotatably supported on the front of the reel body 12a via a first rolling bearing 241 and rotating in conjunction with the operating unit 16, a rotor 28 attached to the drive shaft 22 and rotating together with the drive shaft, and a spool 14 that can wind fishing line by rotating the operating unit 16, and is configured such that a pinion gear 22a is provided on the drive shaft 22, and an elastic member 8 is provided axially forward of the pinion gear 22a on the drive shaft 22.

[0033] In this way, it is possible to provide a fishing spinning reel that can prevent the pinion gear from floating up by pushing it down in the axial direction, whether before, during, or after line winding has stopped. As described above, when the pinion gear tooth surface and the drive gear tooth surface come into contact in the forward line winding direction, the pinion gear receives a force in the opposite direction, so even if there is backlash in the pinion axial direction, the pinion gear is pushed down. However, if the input in the line winding direction is discontinuous or if line winding has stopped, no force is applied to push the pinion gear down, causing it to float up. If a spring washer were provided between the inner ring 242b of the second rolling bearing 242 and the pinion gear 22a, this condition would be even more severe. However, by providing the above-mentioned elastic member and creating a gap 29 between the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 and the reel body 12a, the pinion gear can be pushed down in an axial downward direction as a unit, and by preventing or reducing this floating of the pinion gear, the occurrence of backlash can be prevented or reduced, making it possible to prevent or reduce the transmission of backlash to the winding side through the handle and causing discomfort to the operator.

[0034] Next, a fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6. In the fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first rolling bearing 241 restricts the forward axial movement of the pinion gear 22a and the drive shaft 22, the one-way clutch 40 is provided on the reel body 12a via a second retaining plate 54, the outer ring 40c of the one-way clutch 40 is connected to the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 via a first retaining plate 52, and an elastic member 8 is provided between the first rolling bearing 241 and the first retaining plate 52 (example shown in Figures 3 and 4), between the outer ring 40c of the one-way clutch 40 and the first retaining plate 52 (example shown in Figure 6), or between the one-way clutch 40 and the second retaining plate 54 (example shown in Figure 5). Although not shown, it is also possible to provide a rolling bearing between the one-way clutch 40 and the second retaining plate 54, and in that case, the elastic member 8 may be provided between the second retaining plate 54 and the outer ring of the rolling bearing.

[0035] According to a fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a fishing spinning reel that can prevent the pinion gear from lifting up by pushing the pinion gear downward in the axial direction, whether before, during, or after line winding has stopped. As described above, when the pinion gear tooth surface and the drive gear tooth surface come into contact in the forward line winding direction, the pinion gear receives a force in the opposite direction, so even if there is backlash in the pinion axial direction, the pinion gear is pressed down. However, if the input in the line winding direction is discontinuous or if line winding has stopped, the force pushing down the pinion gear is no longer applied, causing it to lift up. This condition would be even more severe if a spring washer were provided between the inner ring of the second rolling bearing 242 and the pinion gear 22a. However, by providing the above-mentioned elastic member, the pinion gear can be pushed downward along its axis, and by preventing or reducing this lifting of the pinion gear, the occurrence of backlash can be prevented or reduced, which makes it possible to prevent or reduce the transmission of backlash to the winding side through the handle and cause discomfort to the operator.

[0036] In the fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 8 biases the outer ring 241a of the first rolling bearing 241 rearward in the axial direction of the drive shaft 22. First rolling bearing 241 By biasing the pinion gear toward the axial rear side (the side of the second rolling bearing 242 opposite to the side where the first rolling bearing 241 is located), the pinion gear can be pushed downward in the axial direction, and by preventing or reducing such floating of the pinion gear, the occurrence of backlash rattle can be prevented or reduced.

[0037] Next, as shown in FIG. 7, in a fishing spinning reel 6 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 8 is any one of a wave washer, a spring washer, a disc spring washer, or an O-ring.

[0038] A fishing rod 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to include any of the above-described spinning reels for fishing and a rod body 2. In this way, it is possible to provide a fishing rod equipped with a spinning reel for fishing that can prevent the pinion gear from floating up by pushing the pinion gear downward along its axis in any of the following states: before winding the line, during the line winding operation, and after line winding has stopped, thereby reducing the occurrence of backlash.

[0039] The dimensions, materials, and arrangement of each component described in this specification are not limited to those explicitly described in the embodiments, and each component can be modified to have any dimensions, materials, and arrangement that can be included in the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, components not explicitly described in this specification can be added to the described embodiments, and some of the components described in each embodiment can be omitted.
