Description

A fishing rod that transmits detection signals based on bite patterns

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing rod that transmits a detection signal according to a biting pattern, and more specifically, to a fishing rod that transmits a detection signal according to a biting pattern that can accurately target a target fish by determining whether a vibration pattern measured by a 3-axis accelerometer installed in the grip part is a biting pattern of a target fish and transmitting a detection signal to the user.

[0002]

[0003] A fishing float serves as an indicator that informs the angler of a fish bite, allowing for the detection of the bite by continuously monitoring it. During the day, bites are identified by visual observation, while at night, they are identified through electrical lighting methods using luminescence or motion sensors. However, this fishing method had the inconvenience of requiring constant attention to the float to continuously observe its movement or luminescence.

[0004] If a fish bites while the angler is momentarily distracted, the fish may be missed. Additionally, when fishing at night, it is often difficult to judge a bite because one must rely solely on the luminous material attached to the fishing float. Furthermore, beginner anglers face the problem of being unable to identify the movement of the float regardless of whether it is day or night, making it difficult to determine the precise timing for setting the hook.

[0005] A technology is disclosed in the prior art Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0490805 (registered on December 30, 2019, "Luminous Fishing Float") that activates a light-emitting means in response to a fish bite, thereby enabling easy recognition of the fish bite.

[0006] However, in the case of such fishing floats, the upper tip of the float is formed long and the body of the float that accommodates the power supply is formed at the bottom, so the center of gravity is concentrated at the bottom, which causes the fishing float to not fly far and not stand upright when cast into the water, and the float body becomes completely submerged, increasing the possibility that the power supply will be damaged by the influence of water, and in seas with rough waves, the fishing float may frequently sink into the water or splash, making it difficult to accurately detect a bite.

[0007]

[0008] The technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a fishing rod that transmits a detection signal according to a bite pattern, which can accurately target a target fish, by determining whether a vibration pattern measured by a 3-axis accelerometer installed in the grip part is a bite pattern of a target fish and transmitting a detection signal to the user.

[0009] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that transmits a detection signal according to a bite pattern, which improves compatibility between equipment, such as by allowing the grip part to be detachably attached to the main body part, so that only the main body part can be replaced, is convenient to use as the grip part can be separated for charging or storage, and allows for convenient data updating regarding the bite pattern of a target fish.

[0010] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that transmits a detection signal according to a bite pattern, which enables intuitive and fast hook setting by simultaneously transmitting an LED signal, a vibration signal, and a low-frequency signal to notify the user when the bite pattern of a target fish is confirmed.

[0011] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned technical problems will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0020] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the low-frequency module may include a low-frequency pad that contacts the skin of a fishing user to deliver low-frequency stimulation; and a cable connecting the low-frequency pad and a grip portion.

[0021]

[0022] As described above, the fishing rod that transmits a detection signal according to the biting pattern according to the embodiment of the present invention has the effect of accurately targeting the target fish by determining whether the vibration pattern measured through a 3-axis accelerometer installed in the grip part is the biting pattern of the target fish and transmitting a detection signal to the user.

[0024] In addition, the present invention has the effect of enabling intuitive and fast hook setting by simultaneously transmitting an LED signal, a vibration signal, and a low-frequency signal to the user when the biting pattern of a target fish is confirmed.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 1, a fishing rod according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a main body (100) that is connected by multiple tubular bodies and extends in length, and a grip portion (200) that is coupled to one end of the main body (100). At this time, a reel set (300) on which a reel on which a fishing line is wound may be detachably installed may be installed in the main body (100).

[0043] With reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, the configuration of the grip portion (200) according to the present invention will be described.

[0044] The grip portion (200) according to the present invention may be largely composed of a first body portion (210) and a second body portion (220).

[0045] At this time, the first body part (210) and the second body part (220) may be formed in a mutually detachable structure, and the first body part (210) may be used in a state connected to the main body part (100). For example, the second body part (220) may occupy most of the grip part (200) and be used in a form that is detachable from the main body part (100) via the first body part (210).

[0046] The first body part (210) wraps around and connects to the end of the tubular main body part (100), and can form a cone shape in which the inlet side into which the main body part (100) is inserted is narrow and the diameter gradually widens in the opposite direction.

[0047] The first body part (210) can be made of a transparent synthetic resin material or a light-diffusing light guide material.

[0048] At this time, an LED (225a) is installed in the second body part (220) to emit light, and the first body part (210) is connected to the second body part (220) and can serve to diffuse the LED light in a 360-degree circumferential direction.

[0049] The first body part (210) can be manufactured in a cone shape or a cylindrical shape, and a first insertion groove (211) into which the main body part (100) is inserted is formed at the center of one side, and a detachable coupling part (212) into which the second body part (220) is detachably coupled can be formed at the other side.

[0050] The detachable coupling part (212) is formed to have a certain width, and a second insertion groove (213) may be formed in the center of the detachable coupling part (212).

[0051] At this time, the second insertion groove (213) can serve as a guide groove for mounting the lamp module (225), which will be described later. At this time, the lamp module (225) and the second insertion groove (213) may be arranged in a slit shape extending in the transverse direction.

[0052] The second insertion groove (213) can be connected to the first insertion groove (211) to form a light path through which LED light travels. At this time, the LED light that enters the first insertion groove (211) can be diffused throughout the entire first body part (210) and emitted to the outside.

[0053] A second body part (220) can be detachably coupled to the first body part (210).

[0054] The configuration of the second body part (220) is described below.

[0055] The second body part (220) can be configured to form a semi-circular case (221) that is combined in a cylindrical shape.

[0056] At this time, a vibrator (223) that measures a vibration pattern transmitted through the main body (100) is installed inside the case (221), a PCB (224) equipped with a CPU that compares and determines whether the vibration pattern measured by the vibrator (223) is the same pattern as the biting pattern of a target fish is installed, and a lamp module (225) that emits light when the vibration pattern is determined to be the same pattern as the biting pattern of a target fish is installed as a result of the CPU judgment may be installed.

[0057] The above case (221) is formed by combining left and right half-body parts, and a PCB holder (221a) for mounting a PCB (224) is formed on the mutually facing opposite surfaces of each half-body part, and the PCB (224) may be formed to be mounted horizontally at the center position of the case (221).

[0058] At this time, the PCB holder (221a) can be fixed so that the four corners of the PCB (224) are fitted, and each can be fixed by fitting the PCB (224) board between the pair of plates spaced apart vertically.

[0059] Additionally, a clamp (221b) for fixing a vibrator (223) can be formed on the lower part of the PCB holder (221a).

[0060] The clamp (221b) can be formed in the shape of a "C" clip on each of the opposing surfaces facing each other on the left and right sides of the case (221).

[0061] Additionally, a detachable surface (221c) facing the first body part (210) is formed on one side of the case (221), and a hook pin (221d) protruding to be inserted into the first body part (210) may be formed on the detachable surface (221c).

[0062] At this time, the hook pin (221d) is formed at a position where a pair of cases (221) face each other, and is formed in a semi-body shape on each of the two cases (221) and is inserted together into the projection groove (214) on the side of the first body part (210) while facing each other.

[0063] At this time, the protrusion groove (214) may be composed of an entry portion into which the hook pin (221d) enters and a rotation portion space in which the hook pin (221d) can rotate in the circumferential direction after entry.

[0064] At this time, the state in which the hook pin (221d) is seated in the rotating part space is maintained in a kind of locking state so that the first body part (210) and the second body part (220) can be prevented from being separated.

[0065] A through hole (221e) through which a lamp module (225) passes is formed in the center of the detachable surface (221c), and a charging hole (221f) into which a charging jack is inserted may be formed on the other side of the case (221).

[0066] Additionally, the lamp module (225) may include a plurality of LEDs (225a) including R, G, and B colors mounted on a PCB (224), an LED guide (225b) on which the LEDs (225a) are aligned, and a pair of permanent magnets (225c) magnetized as N and S poles at both ends of the LED guide (225b).

[0067] At this time, magnetizing the permanent magnet (225c) with a pair of N and S poles is intended to prevent the second body part (220) from being inverted vertically when combined with the first body part (210).

[0068] For example, by magnetizing the N-pole and S-pole facing magnets (215) on the first body part (210) so as to face the permanent magnet (225c), when the polarities of the permanent magnets facing the coupling direction are mutually opposite, a reaction force is applied to prevent mutual coupling, thereby preventing the upper and lower positions of the second body part (220) from being reversed and coupled.

[0069] This is to maintain a constant orientation of the 3-axis accelerometer (222) according to one embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the 3-axis accelerometer (222) may be installed to be located at the center (top) of the PCB (224).

[0070] At this time, the 3-axis accelerometer (222) is a sensor that measures acceleration in the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis directions when the sensor moves in three dimensions, and when a fish bites, the vibration transmitted through the main body (100) causes movement of the 3-axis accelerometer (222), and the movement of the 3-axis accelerometer (222) can be measured as a change in acceleration values ​​in the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis directions.

[0071] At this time, the change in acceleration value may repeat a constant pattern, and by comparing whether this pattern matches the bite pattern of a specific fish that has been entered in advance, it is possible to fish targeting only specific fish (such as flounder).

[0072] For example, the biting pattern may differ depending on the target fish species, such as flounder, rockfish, sea bream, squid, and octopus. Therefore, the user can set the biting pattern information for the fish species to be caught through fishing via the PCB (224) of the grip unit (200), and if the set biting pattern is detected during fishing, a detection signal can be transmitted to induce a quick response from the user.

[0073] At this time, the detection signal can be transmitted to the user in the form of LED light, vibration, or low-frequency stimulation.

[0074] At this time, the LED light can be set to emit light in R, G, and B colors or as a light pattern composed of a combination thereof, which can be pre-set according to the species of fish the user intends to catch. For example, the lamp module (225) according to the present invention can be configured so that the color or light pattern of the LED emitting light is set differently depending on the species of fish intended to be caught.

[0075] Additionally, a rechargeable battery (227) may be installed in the grip portion (200). A connection terminal (227a) for supplying external power may be formed on one side of the PCB (224) where the battery (227) is installed. At this time, the connection terminal (227a) may be a type of connection terminal (227a) capable of functioning as a power supply terminal and inputting / outputting signals, and the grip portion (200) of the present invention may be connected to an external computing device (not shown) using the connection terminal (227a) to download biting pattern data of a desired fish species.

[0076] At this time, the battery (227) can be installed so as to be located on the upper part of the grip portion (200) relative to the PCB (224).

[0077]

[0078] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, the system may further include a low-frequency module (226) that generates a low-frequency stimulation signal when the vibration pattern determined by the CPU judgment result is the same pattern as the biting pattern of the target fish.

[0079] At this time, the low-frequency module (226) may include a low-frequency pad (226a) that contacts the skin of a fishing user to deliver low-frequency stimulation, and a cable (226b) that connects the low-frequency pad (226a) and the grip portion (200).

[0080] At this time, the low-frequency pad (226a) can be attached to the back of the user's hand or wrist for use, and such low-frequency stimulation can induce an immediate response from the user, thereby enabling rapid hook setting.

[0081] The fishing rod according to the present invention can be used by selectively selecting a grip portion (200) with a bite pattern for each fish species input and mounting it on the main body portion (100).

[0082] In addition, the grip portion (200) of the present invention may be equipped with a communication module (228) capable of wireless communication inside. At this time, it can communicate directly with a user's mobile terminal through the communication module (228), and can transmit or receive data through this. In addition, the grip portion (200) can be used in conjunction with a fishing application on the user's mobile terminal.

[0083] For example, information such as wind speed and flow velocity can be received through the user's mobile terminal, and noise signals can be filtered from the input signals of the 3-axis accelerometer (222).

[0084] As described above, the fishing rod that transmits a detection signal according to the biting pattern according to the embodiment of the present invention can accurately target the target fish by determining whether the vibration pattern measured through a 3-axis accelerometer installed in the grip part is the biting pattern of the target fish and transmitting a detection signal to the user.

[0085] In addition, the present invention improves compatibility between equipment, such as allowing only the main body to be replaced, by enabling the grip portion to be detachably attached to the main body. It also offers convenience in use as the grip portion can be separated for charging or storage, and facilitates the updating of data regarding the biting patterns of target fish.

[0086] In addition, when the biting pattern of a target fish is confirmed, the present invention simultaneously transmits an LED signal, a vibration signal, and a low-frequency signal to notify the user, thereby enabling intuitive and fast hook setting.

[0087] Although the present invention has been described above, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention may be implemented in other forms while maintaining the technical concept and essential features of the invention.

[0088] The scope of the rights of the present invention shall be determined primarily by the claims; however, all modifications or variations derived from configurations directly derived from the descriptions in the claims, as well as configurations equivalent thereto, shall be interpreted as being included within the scope of the rights of the present invention.
