The adjustment member of the electric reel differs from the adjustment member that is merely a mechanical adjustment of the output of the motor. That is, in order to adjust the output of the motor for the electric reel, it is necessary to finely adjust the hook for the fish. Anglers attach great importance to the subtle adjustment of the adjustment components, and the subtle adjustments also affect the anglers' harvest.

In the adjustment member that previously adjusted the output of the motor by the rotation operation, if the rotation of the adjustment member is too smooth, the adjustment member cannot be finely adjusted.

An object of the present invention is to perform a fine adjustment operation on an adjustment member that adjusts the output of the motor of the electric reel.

The electric reel of the present invention includes a reel body, a support shaft, a spool, a motor, an adjustment member, a first elastic member, and a control portion. The support shaft is disposed on the reel body. The spool is rotatably disposed on the reel body. The motor is disposed on the reel body and rotationally drives the reel. The adjustment member includes a through hole that supports the shaft through, and is rotatably supported by the support shaft. The first elastic member is placed directly or indirectly on the first side of the adjustment member so as to be in contact with the reel body, the adjustment member, and the support shaft, respectively. The control unit adjusts the output of the motor in accordance with the rotational position of the adjustment member.

In the electric reel, the adjustment member is supported by the support shaft via the first elastic member. The first elastic member is disposed directly or indirectly on the first side of the adjustment member in contact with the reel body, the adjustment member, and the support shaft, and the adjustment member is supported by the support shaft via the first elastic member. Here, the adjustment member may be in contact with the cord reel body and the support shaft without being in direct contact with each other via the first elastic member. Therefore, the rotation of the adjustment member can be adjusted by changing the frictional resistance generated by the contact with the first elastic member, whereby the adjustment member can be finely adjusted.

The electric reel may further include a first washer member that is disposed between the first elastic member and the reel body. The first elastic member indirectly contacts the reel body via the first gasket member. In this case, the first elastic member is not in contact with the reel body but is in contact with the first washer member whose surface is smoother than the reel body, so that the frictional resistance is easily fixed. Therefore, the adjustment operation of the adjustment member becomes smoother, and the adjustment member can be finely adjusted.

The adjustment member may have a first contact surface that contacts and slides with the first elastic member on the first side. The first contact surface is a tapered surface that is inclined with respect to either of the reel body and the support shaft. In this case, since the first elastic member is in contact with the adjustment member on the tapered surface, the first elastic member can receive the force in the axial direction and the radial direction of the adjustment member.

The through hole is disposed apart from the support shaft by a gap, and the first contact surface may be provided on the first side of the through hole. In this case, since the adjustment member does not directly contact the support shaft, the frictional resistance of the first elastic member is stabilized.

The support shaft can also be supported by the cantilever by protruding from the reel body. In this case, since the support shaft is supported by the cantilever, the degree of freedom in the arrangement of the adjustment members becomes high.

The electric cord reel may in turn be provided with a screw member having a large diameter head and which can be screwed into the front end of the support shaft. The adjustment member is prevented from coming off by the head of the screw member. In this case, the amount of elastic deformation of the first elastic member can be adjusted by the screwing amount of the screw member, whereby the frictional force can be adjusted.

Further, the electric reel may further include a second elastic member that is disposed in contact with the screw member, the adjustment member, and the support shaft directly or indirectly on the second side opposite to the first side of the adjustment member. Between. In this case, since both ends of the adjustment member are supported by the first elastic member and the second elastic member, a finer adjustment operation can be performed.

At least one of the first elastic member and the second elastic member may be an O-ring. In this case, the commercially available O-ring support adjustment member can be used, so that the support structure can be realized at low cost.

The electric reel may further include a second washer member disposed between the head and the second elastic member. The second elastic member indirectly contacts the head of the screw member via the second gasket member. In this case, even if the second elastic member is in contact with the second washer member on the second side of the adjustment member, the frictional resistance acting on the adjustment member is changed even on the second side of the support shaft supported by the cantilever. In order to fix, the adjustment operation of the adjustment member becomes smoother, and finer adjustment operations can be performed.

The adjustment member may have a second contact surface that contacts and slides with the second elastic member. The second contact surface is a tapered surface that is inclined with respect to either of the head of the screw member and the support shaft. In this case, since the second elastic member is in contact with the adjustment member on the tapered surface, the second elastic member can receive the force in the axial direction and the radial direction of the adjustment member.

The through hole is disposed with a gap between the through hole and the support shaft, and the second contact surface may be provided on the second side of the through hole. In this case, since the first contact surface and the second contact surface are provided on both sides of the through hole, the first elastic member and the second elastic member can stably support the adjustment member.

The support shaft can also be supported at both ends of the reel body. In this case, the adjustment member is supported at both ends of the reel body, so that the adjustment member can be operated from both the handle side and the opposite side of the handle.

The electric reel may further include a second elastic member that is in direct or indirect contact with the reel body, the adjustment member, and the support shaft on the second side opposite to the first side of the adjustment member. Between. In this case, the adjustment members supported at both ends are supported on the first side and the second side, and both ends are supported by the first elastic member and the second elastic member, so that the adjustment member can be finely adjusted.

At least one of the first elastic member and the second elastic member may be an O-ring. In this case, the commercially available O-ring support adjustment member can be used, so that the support structure can be realized at low cost.

The electric reel may further include a second washer member that is disposed between the reel body and the second elastic member. The second elastic member indirectly contacts the reel body via the second gasket member. In this case, even if the second elastic member is in contact with the second washer member on the second side of the adjustment member, the frictional resistance acting on the adjustment member even on the second side is supported by the support shaft supported at both ends. It becomes fixed, so that the adjustment operation of the adjustment member becomes smoother, and the adjustment member can be finely adjusted.

The adjustment member may have a second contact surface that contacts and slides with the second elastic member. The second contact surface is inclined with respect to either the reel body and the support shaft Conical surface. In this case, since the second elastic member is in contact with the adjustment member on the tapered surface, the second elastic member can receive the force in the axial direction and the radial direction of the adjustment member.

The through hole is disposed with a gap between the through hole and the support shaft, and the second contact surface may be provided on the second side of the through hole. In this case, since the first contact surface and the second contact surface are provided on both sides of the through hole, the first elastic member and the second elastic member can stably support the adjustment member.

The adjustment member may further include a first spacer that is provided between at least the first contact surface and the first elastic member in the through hole. In this case, since the first elastic member is in contact with the first spacer, the frictional force acting on the adjustment member is more easily fixed on the first side.

The adjustment member may further include a second spacer that is provided between at least the second contact surface and the second elastic member in the through hole. In this case, since the second elastic member is in contact with the second spacer, the frictional force acting on the adjustment member is more easily fixed on the second side.

The adjustment member may further include a third spacer that is provided between the support shaft and the through hole in the through hole. In this case, since the spacer is provided in the entire through hole including the first contact surface and the second contact surface, the spacer can be formed with high precision.

The adjustment member can also be rotated from the operational starting position at which the motor is stopped. The electric reel further includes a rotation restricting portion that restricts the rotation of the adjustment member from the operation start position and the rotation to the operation start position. In this case, the rotation from the operation start position is restricted, so that the adjustment member is difficult to rotate from the adjustment start position against the intention of the user, so that the motor is not easily accidentally rotated.

The rotation restricting portion can also restrict the rotation to the operation start position. In this case, it is difficult for the adjustment member to rotate toward the adjustment start position against the intention of the user, so that it is difficult for the motor to stop unexpectedly.

The rotation restricting portion may have an engaging portion and a positioning pin. The engaging portion is provided in one of the reel body and the adjusting member, and includes an engaging recess corresponding to the operation start position. Positioning The pin is disposed on the other of the reel body and the adjustment member, and is biased toward the engagement portion to be engaged with the engagement portion. In this case, when the rotation is restricted, the positioning pin is engaged with the engaging portion to restrict the rotation by the pin which is pushed by the pin, so that the click feeling can be obtained when the rotation is restricted, and the user is relatively easy. Realize that the rotation is restricted.

The engaging portion may further include: a circular arc recessed portion that is provided adjacent to the engaging recessed portion and formed in an arc shape with the axial center of the support shaft as a center; and a protruding portion that is provided in the engaging recessed portion and the circular arc recessed portion between. In this case, the rotation of the adjustment member is restricted by the projection provided at the boundary portion between the engagement recess and the circular arc recess.

The engaging portion may also be disposed on the reel body, and the positioning pin may be disposed on the adjusting member. In this case, the positioning member is provided on the moving adjustment member, so that a click feeling can be obtained.

According to the present invention, the rotation of the adjustment member can be adjusted by the frictional resistance generated by the contact with the first elastic member, whereby the adjustment member can be finely adjusted.

<Adjustment member>

The adjustment member 5 is provided to adjust the output of the motor 12 to a plurality of stages (for example, 10 stages or more, and 31 stages in this embodiment), and is provided in the reel body 1. The adjustment member 5 is provided between the side plate main body 19a of the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a as shown in Fig. 3 . In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the adjustment member 5 is rotatably attached to the support shaft 36a which is erected on the outer side surface of the rear portion of the casing member 36 of the water depth display portion 4. The adjustment member 5 is disposed on the first side (the left side in FIG. 4) opposite to the case member 36. The second side (the right side in FIG. 4) is disposed to face the first side cover 8a.

The adjustment member 5 is disposed between the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a in a state of being attached to the support shaft 36a. The adjustment member 5 is disposed on the first side (the left side in FIG. 4) opposite to the case member 36. The second side (the right side in FIG. 4) is disposed to face the first side cover 8a.

The support shaft 36a has a female screw hole 36b to which the screw member 54 is screwed on the front end surface. The screw member 54 is provided to prevent the adjustment member 5 from being detached from the support shaft 36a. The screw member 54 has a large diameter head 54a.

The rotation restricting portion 55 restricts the rotation of the adjustment member 5 from the operation start position, and restricts the rotation of the adjustment member 5 toward the operation start position. The operation start position is a position at which the motor 12 is locked by the adjustment member 5. And the operation start position is a position for stopping the rotation of the motor 12. The rotation restricting portion 55 has an engaging portion 56 that is provided to the case member 36 and a positioning pin 57 that is provided to the adjusting member 5. The engaging portion 56 has a pair of arcuate recesses 36c, a pair of engaging recesses 36d, and a projection 36e formed on the outer surface of the housing member 36 around the support shaft 36a. The pair of circular arc recessed portions 36c and the pair of engaging recessed portions 36d are formed at intervals of 180 degrees. The engagement recessed portion 36d is formed in a spherical recess and is disposed adjacent to the circular arc recessed portion 36c. The engagement recess 36d is provided corresponding to the operation start position. The circular arc recessed portion 36c is formed in an arc of the same core as the center of rotation of the adjustment member 5, and is provided corresponding to the rotational angle of the adjustment member 5. The angle of rotation of the adjusting member 5 is, for example, in the range from 80 to 120 in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the angle of rotation is 100°. However, the rotation of the adjustment member 5 The moving angle is not limited to this. The protruding portion 36e is formed between the engaging recessed portion 36d and the circular arc recessed portion 36c so as to protrude more than the engaging recessed portion 36d and the circular arc recessed portion 36c. The protruding portion 36e is provided to restrict the rotation of the adjustment member 5.

When the adjustment angle of the adjustment member 5 is large, the angle at which the output can be distributed in each stage of the adjustment of the output of the motor 12 becomes large, and therefore, the adjustment operation of the output can be stably performed at each stage. However, if the angle of rotation of the adjustment member 5 becomes too large, it is difficult to quickly perform the operation across the plurality of stages. Further, depending on the shape of the reel body, there is a case where the rotation angle cannot be increased. Under these constraints, it is preferred to set the angle of rotation of the adjustment member 5 to the maximum angle.

The adjustment member 5 is, for example, a substantially annular member made of synthetic resin. The adjustment member 5 has an operation protrusion 5a that protrudes in the radial direction on the outer peripheral surface as shown in Fig. 6 . The outer peripheral surface of the adjusting member 5 other than the operation protrusion 5a is spaced apart in the circumferential direction to form a plurality of grooves 5b in the axial direction for preventing slip.

As shown in FIG. 6, the positioning pin 57 is attached to the pair of positioning accommodation parts 5e in a retractable manner. The positioning pin 57 is pushed by the pair of coil springs 58 toward the housing member 36. The coil spring 58 is housed in the positioning housing portion 5e. The positioning pin 57 has a hemispherical shape head portion 57a, and the head portion 57a is engaged with the engagement recess portion 36d and the circular arc recess portion 36c. By providing the positioning pin 57 and the engaging recess 36d, the adjustment member 5 can be surely positioned at the operation start position. Also, due to the concave recess 36d and the arc concave The protruding portion 36e is formed between the portions 36c, and therefore, the adjusting member 5 positioned at the operation start position is difficult to rotate from the adjustment starting position against the intention of the user. Thereby, the motor 12 is not easily accidentally rotated.

As shown in FIG. 4, the adjustment member 5 has a through hole 5f formed in the center portion and rotatably supported by the support shaft 36a via the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47. Further, the adjustment member 5 has a first contact surface 5g formed on the first side of the through hole 5f and a second contact surface 5h formed on the second side of the through hole 5f. The first contact surface 5g is in contact with and slides with the first elastic member 46. The second contact surface 5h is in contact with and slides with the second elastic member 47. The first contact surface 5g is a tapered surface that is inclined with respect to either of the case member 36 and the support shaft 36a constituting the reel body 1. The second contact surface 5h is a tapered surface that is inclined with respect to either the head portion 54a of the screw member 54 and the support shaft 36a. In the first embodiment, the tapered surface is formed in a conical shape with respect to the support shaft 36a by inclination of 30 to 60 degrees, preferably 40 to 50 degrees.

For the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47, for example, an N-ring made of NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) or fluorenone rubber is used. The first elastic member 46 is directly or indirectly contacted with the outer surface of the case member 36, the adjustment member 5, and the support shaft 36a on the first side of the adjustment member 5, and is disposed between them. In the first embodiment, the first elastic member 46 indirectly contacts the case member 36 via the first gasket member 50. Further, the first elastic member 46 is in direct contact with the support shaft 36a and the first contact surface 5g. The second elastic member 47 is in direct or indirect contact with the head portion 54a of the screw member 54, the adjustment member 5, and the support shaft 36a on the second side of the adjustment member 5, and is disposed therebetween. In the first embodiment, the second elastic member 47 indirectly contacts the head portion 54a via the second gasket member 52. Further, the second elastic member 47 is in direct contact with the support shaft 36a and the second contact surface 5h.

<Detector>

The detector 34 is attached to the adjustment member 5 as shown in Figs. 4, 6 and 9. Specifically, as described above, it is fixed to one of the pair of adjustment members 5 to the detector housing portion 5d by an appropriate fixing method. The detector 34 has the first one fixed to the pair of detector housing portions 5d, respectively. The magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b. The first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b are magnetized in the axial direction of the adjustment member 5, respectively. The second magnet 34b is magnetized in a direction opposite to the first magnet 34a. In this embodiment, the first magnet 34a is magnetized to the N pole on the side opposite to the case member 36, and the bottom surface side of the detector housing portion 5d is magnetized to the S pole. Conversely, the second magnetic system is magnetized to the S pole on one side of the housing member 36, and the bottom surface side of the detector housing portion 5d is magnetized to the N pole. By arranging the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b which are axially magnetized so that the magnetic flux direction is reversed, the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b which are axially magnetized can be obtained and radially. The magnetized magnet also reacts to the detector 34.

<phase detection unit>

The phase detecting unit 35 is mounted on the hall element 35a of the sub-circuit board 74b, and the sub-board board 74b is disposed inside the case member 36 of the water depth display unit 4 as described above. As shown in FIG. 7, the Hall element 35a is arranged in alignment with the rotation center C of the adjustment member 5. By arranging the hall element 35a in this manner, the hall element 35a can detect a change in the direction of the magnetic flux generated by the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b. As a result, the direction of the magnetic flux that changes according to the rotation of the adjustment member 5 can be detected using the hall element 35a, and the rotational phase of the adjustment member 5 can be detected. As shown in FIG. 10, if the N pole of the radially magnetized detector 34 is located at 0° on the side of the mark 35b of the Hall element 35a, for example, a semicircular shape, the detector element 34 is 0. At the position of °, the output voltage becomes minimum as shown in FIG. If the detector 34 is relatively rotated from 0° counterclockwise with respect to the hall element 35a, the output voltage gradually rises, and the output voltage becomes maximum when the detector 34 approaches 360°, and outputs when the detector 34 returns to 0°. The voltage is restored to a minimum. Thereby, the rotational phase of the adjustment member 5 can be detected by the Hall element 35a in the range from 0° to 360°. However, in this embodiment, for example, the output voltage of the Hall element 35a is used in a range from about 50° to about 150°. However, the angular range of the output voltage of the Hall element 35a is not limited to this. For example, it is a range from 230° to 330°, and can be appropriately selected depending on the output characteristics of the Hall element.

<Control System>

The electric reel 100 has a reel control unit 70 as shown in FIG. 12, and the reel control unit 70 controls the motor 12 and the display 72. The reel control unit 70 is an example of a control unit. The reel control unit 70 includes a microcomputer including a CPU (Central Processing Unit). Each of the Hall element 35a as the phase detecting unit 35, the switch of the switch operation unit 6, and the spool sensor 78 are connected to the cord reel control unit 70. Further, the reel control unit 70 is connected to a display 72 to be controlled, a motor drive circuit 76, a buzzer 80, and other input/output units 82. The spool sensor 78 has a pair of reed switches (or Hall elements) that detect a magnet (not shown) mounted on the spool 10. A pair of tongues are arranged side by side in the direction of rotation of the spool 10. In this embodiment, a pair of reed switches are provided in the spool support portion 17 of the reel body 1. The number of rotations (rotational position) and the direction of rotation of the spool 10 can be detected by the spool sensor 78. The motor drive circuit 76 performs PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) driving on the motor 12. That is, the motor 12 is driven by changing the duty ratio. The buzzer 80 is housed inside the case member 36. The buzzer 80 sounds when the fishing group reaches the position of the fishing shed or reaches the bottom of the sea. The other input/output unit 82 includes, for example, a wireless communication unit or the like. The wireless communication unit can communicate various materials such as water depth data in two directions with an external display device.

<Operation of electric reel>

In the electric reel 100 constructed in this manner, when fishing is performed, the angler performs a pressing operation of the clutch operating member 11 by holding the thumb of the fishing rod. Thereby, the clutch mechanism 16 is switched from the clutch open state to the clutch closed state, so that the spool 10 is freely rotated, and the fishing line is taken out to the sea by the weight of the fishing set.

When the fish is hung on the fishing group and the fishing line is taken up, the clutch operating member 11 is pushed up by the fingertip of the thumb holding the fishing rod. When the clutch operating member 11 is pushed up, the clutch mechanism 16 is switched to the clutch open state, and the spool 10 and the motor 12 can be used to rotate the spool 10 in the wire winding direction.

When the fishing line is taken up by the motor 12, the hand holding the fishing rod or the handle of the operating handle 2 is utilized. The adjustment member 5 is operated. At this time, since the adjustment member is disposed between the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a, the clutch operating member 11 and the adjustment member 5 disposed in the rear portion of the reel body 1 are disposed closer to each other. Therefore, the thumb pressing operation can be performed to operate the adjustment member 5 with the fingertip of the hand. Therefore, it becomes easy to perform the joint operation of the adjustment member 5 and the clutch operating member 11. Further, when the fishing is performed and the amount of winding of the fishing line is reduced, the thumb pressing operation can be performed via the clutch operating member 11, so that the thumb pressing operation in the fishing can be performed regardless of the winding amount of the fishing line. Stable.

When the adjustment member 5 is rotated, the detector 34 rotates together with the adjustment member 5, and the output voltage of the Hall element 35a of the phase detecting portion 35 changes. Based on the change in the output voltage, the reel control unit 70 controls the motor drive circuit 76 to adjust the output of the motor 12 in accordance with the rotational position of the adjustment member 5. In this case, the rotation phase of the adjustment member 5 is detected without using a rotation detector such as a rotary encoder or a potentiometer. Therefore, even if the stage of adjustment by the adjustment member 5 is increased to 10 stages or more, the adjustment member 5 can be suppressed at low cost. The increase in the volume of the mounting portion.

Further, since the adjustment member 5 is supported by the support shaft 36a via the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47, the frictional resistance generated by the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 acts on the adjustment member 5. Thereby, the rotation of the adjustment member 5 can be adjusted by the frictional resistance generated by the contact with the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47, and the adjustment member 5 can be finely adjusted.

<Modification of the first embodiment>

In FIG. 13, the adjustment member 105 according to the modification of the first embodiment further includes a spacer 59 which is disposed between the first contact surface 5g and the first elastic member 46. The spacer 59 is provided between the second contact surface 5h and the second elastic member 47 and between the through hole and the support shaft 36a. The spacer is made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy, and a portion made of a synthetic resin of the adjustment member 105 is integrally formed with the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b by, for example, insert molding. In this case, the first elastic member 46 and the second elastic member 47 are made of metal and have a surface. Since the smooth spacers 59 are in contact with each other, the frictional force acting on the adjustment member 105 is more easily fixed on the first side and the second side of the adjustment member 105.

<Second embodiment>

In FIG. 14, in the electric reel 300 of the second embodiment, the adjustment member 205 is provided at the rear of the casing member 236, and the casing member 236 is included in the reel body 1. As shown in FIG. 15, the case member 236 has a housing recess 236g that can accommodate the adjustment member 205 at the rear. Both ends of the support shaft 236a are supported by the housing member 236. The support shaft 236a has a large-diameter head portion 236h and a shaft portion 236i that supports the adjustment member 205. The support shaft 236a is mounted from one end side of the housing member 236. The support shaft 236a is prevented from disengaging from the housing member 236 by the retaining ring 228. Similarly to the first embodiment, the first contact surface 205g and the second contact surface 205h are through-hole tapered surfaces. Further, the first elastic member 246 indirectly contacts the wall surface of one of the housing recesses 236g of the case member 236 via the first gasket member 250. The second elastic member 247 indirectly contacts the other wall surface of the housing recess 236 g of the case member 236 via the second washer member 252 .

Even in the second embodiment, the same operational effects as those in the first embodiment are exhibited.
