Description

Electric reel

The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel.

In the past, a fishing rod with an electric reel, for example, used for fishing smelt, has been known to have a structure that applies resistance to rotation in the line-releasing direction when the clutch is connected (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). The fishing rod with an electric reel has a winding part and a grip part that are integrated, and the winding part has a reel that reels and recycles the fishing line that is driven by a built-in electric motor.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the known electric reel-integrated fishing rod reel structure shown in the above-mentioned patent document 1, no braking force is applied to stop the free rotation of the reel for releasing the line, but the motor in the stopped state is reversed, so a large force is applied. In other words, the reel is braked as a fishing force valve when it is stopped. In the known method, there is a problem that the reel is reversed too much (winding) because the free rotation of the reel is too light.

In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an electric wire reel that has a braking structure that applies a braking force to the reel, so that a large force does not need to be applied and the occurrence of excessive reversal (winding) of the reel can be suppressed. [Means for solving the problem]

(1) The electric fishing reel of the present invention is a fishing rod-integrated electric fishing reel, with a top fishing rod detachably mounted at the front end. The fishing line is wound and released by connecting and disconnecting the driving force from the electric motor through a clutch. The electric fishing reel comprises: a reel support shaft, a reel rotatably supported on the reel support shaft, A reel bearing of the shaft, and a braking member arranged to be opposite to the outer side surface of the reel in the reel shaft direction and movable in the reel shaft direction relative to the outer peripheral surface of the reel support shaft; by moving the braking member toward the reel side, the braking member is pressed against the reel, so that the braking force acts in the reel shaft direction.

With the electric fishing reel of the present invention, the braking member can be pressed against the reel by moving the braking member on the reel support shaft toward the reel side. At this time, in the present invention, since the outer peripheral surface of the reel support shaft is used to move the braking member toward the reel shaft direction, the structure in which the above-mentioned braking force is applied to the reel can be achieved without significantly changing the known structure. Moreover, in the present invention, even if the reel is excessively reversed (winding), the reel can be easily removed by removing the braking member from the reel body, and the winding fishing line can be handled.

(2) By moving the brake member toward the drum side, pressure is applied between the inner wheel and the outer wheel of the bearing, so that the brake force acts in the axial direction of the drum.

In this case, since the pressure generated by the movement of the brake member can be directly applied between the inner wheel and the outer wheel of the bearing of the reel, the braking force can be effectively applied to the reel.

(3) A plurality of the bearings are arranged in the axial direction of the drum, the brake member is a spring member, and the spring member is inserted between the plurality of bearings in a state of being biased in the axial direction of the drum.

In this case, by applying force to the bearing in the thrust axis direction by the elastic force of a spring member such as a bending washer, the resistance of the bearing can be slightly increased. Therefore, by tightening the brake member to the drum support shaft and increasing the compression of the spring member, the braking force can be adjusted like a throw-control brake.

(4) One end of the bearing in the thrust axis direction is retained by the reel body to restrict movement in the thrust axis direction, and the other end of the bearing in the thrust axis direction is retained by a casing member covering the other end side of the reel to restrict movement in the thrust axis direction.

In this case, the movement of the plurality of bearings arranged via the spring member in the thrust axis direction is restricted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bearings from being disengaged from the drum support shaft by causing the bearings to move toward the other end of the thrust axis direction due to the elastic pressure of the spring member arranged between the plurality of bearings. [Effect of the invention]

According to the electric wire reel of the present invention, since a braking force is applied to the reel, it is not necessary to apply a large force and the occurrence of excessive reversal (winding) of the reel can be suppressed.

The following is a description of the embodiment of the electric fishing reel of the present invention with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, an electric fishing reel for fishing smelt is used as an example. In each drawing, in order to adjust each component to a recognizable size, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as needed.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the electric reel 1 of the present embodiment is suitable for a fishing rod-type electric reel for smelt, and a top thin rod (not shown) is detachably mounted at the front end.

In this embodiment, in the electric reel 1, the front side of the rod is defined as the front end and the front, the tail side of the rod is defined as the rear end and the rear, and the length direction from the front end to the tail end of the rod is defined as the front-rear direction. The direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction when the electric reel 1 is viewed from above is called the left-right direction and the width direction.

The electric fishing reel 1 comprises: a fishing reel body 10 which houses a fishing reel driving unit (not shown) having an electric motor or a clutch, a fishing reel unit 2 provided at the front end of the fishing reel body 10, and a top fishing rod (not shown) protruding forward from the front end surface of the fishing reel body 10.

The reel body 10 includes a main body casing 11 that covers a main body frame 10a together with a reel drive unit, and the main body frame 10a supports the reel drive unit from below. The main body frame 10a is a component that is arranged at the bottom of the electric reel 1 and is formed integrally with, for example, synthetic resin or metal. A plate-shaped reel mounting portion 16 is provided at the front of the main body frame 10a, and the reel mounting portion 16 can be used to attach and detach the reel body 10 to a part of a ship or the like.

The main body housing 11 is provided with a clutch operating unit 12 and a display panel 13; the clutch operating unit 12 is used to operate a clutch (not shown) for connecting and disconnecting the driving force from the electric motor to the winding unit 2; the display panel 13 is used to display the water depth of the fishing group that can be installed at the front end of the fishing line.

The main body shell 11 has a gripping portion 14 and a reel storage portion 15; the gripping portion 14 is formed in a shape that is long in the front-to-back direction, and can be grasped from the top from the central portion 11a of the shell to the rear portion 11b of the shell in the middle of the front-to-back direction; the reel storage portion 15 is provided at the front portion 11c of the shell, and the front portion 11c of the shell is located in front of the gripping portion 14. A storage space for accommodating the reel drive portion is formed on the inner side of the main body shell 11. In FIG1, a part of the right side of the main body shell 11 is omitted, so that the inside of the main body shell 11 can be seen. Furthermore, a top thin rod mounting tube 17 is provided at the front portion 11c of the outer shell, and the top thin rod mounting tube 17 can detachably mount a top thin rod (not shown).

The display panel 13 is provided at the housing center portion 11a of the grip portion 14. The housing rear portion 11b of the grip portion 14 is formed into a conical shape whose length in the width direction gradually decreases from the housing center portion 11a toward the rear when viewed from the top. The shape and size of the grip portion 14 are set to a size that can be grasped from above and covered by the palm of the hand.

The display panel 13 is composed of a liquid crystal display that can display the water depth of the fishing group, and has a plurality of (two in this embodiment) operation buttons for performing display operations.

The cable reel storage portion 15 is formed by notching the right half of the main body housing 11 to form a notch recess 15a for arranging the cable reel 2. As shown in FIG3, the cable reel support portion 4 is fixed to the notch recess 15a, and the cable reel support portion 4 rotatably supports the reel support shaft 21 and the left end of the reel 22 of the cable reel 2 to be described later.

As shown in Fig. 3, the reel support portion 4 includes a main body 41 fixed to the notch recess 15a of the reel housing 15, and a reel shaft support hole 42 supported by the main body 41. The reel shaft support hole 42 supports the reel support shaft 21 of the reel portion 2 described later in a state where the front end portion 21a is inserted.

As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the winding section 2 includes: a winding drum support shaft 21, a winding drum 22, and a bending pad 5 (brake member, spring member); the winding drum 22 has a pair of bearings 24 (24A, 24B) rotatably supported by the winding drum support shaft 21; the bending pad 5 (brake member, spring member) is arranged to face the central protruding side surface 22a of the winding drum 22 in the winding drum shaft O direction, and is inserted between the bearings 24A and 24B in a state of being elastically pressed in the winding drum shaft O direction. In this embodiment, in the winding section 2, the direction around the winding axis O is defined as the circumferential direction, and the direction viewed from the winding axis O and perpendicular to the winding axis O is defined as the radial direction.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the reel support shaft 21 has a shaft portion 21A and a shaft head portion 21B located at one end of the shaft portion 21A in the axial direction. A male thread portion is formed at the front end portion 21a of the shaft portion 21A. The reel support shaft 21 is fixed to the reel support portion 4 by screwing the front end portion 21a into the female thread portion 42a of the reel shaft support hole 42 provided in the reel support portion 4. The reel 22 is arranged in the area of the shaft portion 21A between the front end portion 21a of the shaft portion 21A and the shaft head portion 21B.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , the reel 22 is arranged coaxially with the reel support shaft 21 and is freely rotatably arranged on the reel support shaft 21 via a pair of bearings 24A and 24B, and the reel support shaft 21 is fixed to the reel support portion 4. The reel 22 has: a cylindrical reel body 22A for winding the fishing line, and a pair of flanges 22B and 22B that expand radially outward at both ends of the reel body 22A. The reel 22 is rotationally driven by a friction tube arranged on the motor shaft of the drive motor, so that the clutch mechanism driven by the clutch operating portion 12 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is linked. As shown in FIG3 , the outer periphery of the flange portion 22B on the left side of the reel 22 is covered from the outside by the main body portion 41 of the reel support portion 4, and the outer periphery of the flange portion 22B on the right side is covered from the outside by the outer shell member 25.

The housing member 25 is formed into a topped cylindrical shape, with the top facing the right side, and the cylindrical portion covers the flange portion 22B on the right side. An opening is formed in the central portion of the housing member 25, and the shaft head portion 21B of the reel support shaft 21 is arranged in the opening.

As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, a plurality of bearings 24A and 24B (two in this case) are arranged on the reel 22 in the direction of the reel axis O. Between the bearings 24A and 24B, a bending gasket 5 (spring member) is inserted through an intermediate stopper 26 in a state of being elastically pressed in the direction of the reel axis O. That is, the bearing 24B, the intermediate stopper 26, the bending gasket 5, and the bearing 24A are arranged in this order in the direction of the reel axis O.

The bearing 24 has a structure in which a plurality of rollers 243 are sandwiched between an outer wheel 241 and an inner wheel 242. The inner wheel 242 is fixed to the shaft portion 21A of the drum support shaft 21, and the outer wheel 241 is fixed to the drum 22. The intermediate stopper 26 is fitted to the outer side of the shaft portion 21A of the drum support shaft 21.

One end of the bearings 24A and 24B in the thrust axis direction X (the left bearing 24B) is held by the reel support portion 4 of the reel body 10 to restrict movement in the press-fit direction X1 of the thrust axis direction X. The other end of the bearings 24A and 24B in the thrust axis direction X (the right bearing 24A) is held by the housing member 25 to restrict movement in the direction opposite to the press-fit direction X1 in the thrust axis direction X (the direction of movement to the right).

As shown in FIG5 , the bent gasket 5 is a leaf spring formed by bending a plate-like member into a U-shape when viewed from the side, and is arranged coaxially with the winding shaft O. A circular hole is formed in the center of the bent gasket 5 so that the winding support shaft 21 can pass therethrough. The bent gasket 5 is arranged so that the convex surface 5a abuts against the outer wheel 241 of the bearing 24A on the right side, and the outer peripheral edge 5b located on the outer peripheral side of the convex surface 5a abuts against the central protruding side surface 22a of the winding shaft 22 located at a position radially outward of the right end surface 26a of the intermediate stopper 26.

Next, the function of the electric reel 1 of this structure is described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the electric reel 1 of this embodiment, the elastic force of the bending pad 5, which functions as a braking member, applies pressure between the outer wheel 241 and the inner wheel 242 of the bearing 24 for supporting the reel support shaft 21, so that the braking force acts in the direction of the reel shaft O. In this case, since the pressure generated by the elastic deformation of the bending pad 5 can be directly applied between the inner wheel and the outer wheel of the bearings 24A and 24B of the reel 22, the braking force can be applied to the reel 22 more effectively. That is, as shown in Figure 3, at the right side bearing 24A, the reel support shaft 21 presses the inner wheel 242 toward the thrust axis direction X and the pressing direction X1 (left side of the paper), and by allowing the bent pad 5 to push the outer wheel 241 back in the opposite direction of the pressing direction X1 (right side of the paper), the opposite direction of force acts on the inner and outer wheels, and the braking force can be applied to the reel 22.

Moreover, in the present embodiment, the bearings 24A and 24B arranged via the bent gasket 5 are restricted from moving in the thrust axis direction X by the reel support portion 4 and the housing component 25, so that the bearings 24A and 24B are prevented from moving to the right in the thrust axis direction X and being separated from the reel support shaft 21 by the elastic pressure of the bent gasket 5.

In the electric wire reel of the present embodiment having the above-mentioned structure, since it is a braking structure for applying a braking force to the reel 22, it is not necessary to apply a large force and the occurrence of excessive reversal (winding) of the reel can be suppressed.

Although the above describes the implementation of the electric reel of the present invention, the implementation is only presented as an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The implementation can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In the implementation or its variant, for example, it includes a structure that is easily associated with a skilled person, a substantially identical structure, and a so-called equal scope.

For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although it is described that the electric reel is applicable to fishing smelt, the present invention is not limited to the reel for fishing smelt, for example, it is also applicable to a smaller fishing rod-type electric reel used for fishing small fish such as goby or mullet.

In this embodiment, as a means (brake member) for applying pressure to the drum 22 and applying a thrust load in the thrust axis direction, although a bending gasket 5 composed of a leaf spring that bends and applies pressure to the bearings 24A and 24B in the thrust axis direction is adopted, it is not limited to the bending gasket 5, and other forms of spring members can also be adopted. For example, a coil spring can be used as a bending gasket instead of a leaf spring. Moreover, the position of setting the bending gasket or the contact position of the bearings 24A and 24B relative to the inner wheel and the outer wheel is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. It is sufficient to configure the brake member so that a thrust load in the thrust axis direction can be applied to the drum 22.

As other braking members, for example, a cam-type braking member or a braking member of a push nut threadedly engaged with the reel support shaft 21 may be used. As the braking member of the push nut, a push nut provided with a female threaded portion may be used, and the female threaded portion is used to thread with a male threaded portion formed on the outer side of the bearing of the reel support shaft, for example. By threading the push nut toward the reel side, the push nut presses the reel to apply a braking force in the reel shaft direction.
