There is known an electric fishing reel for fishing, in which when a user presses a motor switch to perform an on operation while driving a spool driving motor by a rod-shaped motor output adjuster, the spool driving motor is driven at a motor output level set in advance during the on operation (for example, see patent document 1).

Disclosure of Invention

[ problem to be solved by the invention ]

In fishing using an electric fishing reel for fishing, the rotation speed of a spool is temporarily changed during the fishing line winding process, and a temporary speed change is also caused in the operation of a hook assembly, which is related to the fishing result. Therefore, for example, a user performs an operation of irregularly rotating the handle while executing a winding-up fishing line (motor winding operation) in which the spool is driven to rotate by the motor. However, particularly when the handle is short, it may be difficult to obtain a change in the take-up speed according to the intention of the user.

In the technique described in patent document 1, the rotation speed of the spool can be changed by operating the motor switch, but is changed to a constant speed corresponding to a predetermined motor output level regardless of the rotation speed of the spool set by the motor output adjuster. Therefore, the change in the rolling speed is often different from the expectation of the user, and the user is likely to feel a sense of discomfort.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to reduce a user's uncomfortable feeling against a rotational speed change, which is a temporary rotational speed change of a spool in response to an operation during a motor winding operation.

[ solution for solving problems ]

In order to solve the above-described problems, one aspect of the present invention is a spool drive control device for an electric fishing reel for fishing, including a spool drive control unit that drives a spool of the electric fishing reel for fishing to rotate according to a post-change rotation speed set as a result of a predetermined speed change amount being given to the rotation speed of the spool when a speed change operation is performed, in a state in which the spool is driven by a motor to rotate to wind up a fishing line.

According to the above configuration, when a speed change operation is performed by a user in a state where a motor winding operation is performed in which the spool is driven to rotate by the motor, the rotation speed of the spool is changed to a changed rotation speed set based on a result of giving a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed of the spool at the time of the speed change operation. By changing the rotational speed in this manner, the rotational speed can be changed by a predetermined amount of change based on the rotational speed of the spool before the speed changing operation is performed. Accordingly, the uncomfortable feeling of the user to the change of the winding speed in response to the speed changing operation can be reduced.

In addition to the above-described spool drive control device, one aspect of the present invention may include a speed change amount setting unit that variably sets the speed change amount in response to a user operation.

According to the above configuration, the user can set the speed variation. Accordingly, since the speed change amount can be adjusted in accordance with the user's feeling, the user's sense of discomfort can be further reduced.

In addition to the above-described bobbin drive control device, the present invention may further include a rotation speed setting unit that sets a rotation speed of the bobbin in response to an operation, wherein the bobbin drive control unit sets the post-change rotation speed based on a result of a predetermined speed change amount being given to the rotation speed set by the rotation speed setting unit at the time of the speed change operation.

According to the above configuration, the rotation speed of the spool can be appropriately changed in response to the speed change operation in response to a case where the drive control of the spool is performed so as to be fixed to the rotation speed of the spool set by, for example, operating the spool drive lever.

In addition to the above-described bobbin drive control device, the present invention may further include a rotation speed detection unit that detects a rotation speed of the bobbin when the speed change operation is performed, wherein the bobbin drive control unit sets the post-change rotation speed based on a result of applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed detected by the rotation speed detection unit.

According to the above configuration, even in a situation where the rotation speed of the spool changes according to a certain condition, for example, the rotation speed of the spool can be appropriately changed in response to the speed change operation.

In the above-described spool drive control device, the spool drive control unit may set the post-change rotation speed by applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed detected by the rotation speed detection unit when the spool is driven to rotate so that the tension of the fishing line is constant.

According to the above configuration, the rotation speed of the spool can be appropriately changed in response to the speed change operation in accordance with a change in the rotation speed of the spool, for example, in response to a case where the spool is drive-controlled so that the tension of the fishing line is constant.

In the above-described bobbin drive control device, in a case where a rotation speed obtained by applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed of the bobbin at the time of the speed change operation is a negative value, the bobbin drive control unit may set a predetermined rotation speed determined in advance as the changed rotation speed.

According to the above configuration, even if the rotation speed obtained by applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed of the spool is a negative value, an appropriate post-change rotation speed can be set.

In the above-described bobbin drive control device, the bobbin drive control unit may stop the rotation of the bobbin when a rotation speed obtained by applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed of the bobbin at the time of the speed change operation is a negative value.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to cope with a case where the rotation speed of the spool is preferably stopped when the rotation speed obtained by applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed of the spool is a negative value.

In the above-described bobbin drive control device, according to an aspect of the present invention, the bobbin drive control unit may stop the rotation of the bobbin when a rotation speed obtained by applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed of the bobbin when the speed change operation is performed is 0.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to cope with a case where it is preferable to stop the rotation of the spool when the rotation speed obtained by applying a predetermined speed change amount to the rotation speed of the spool is 0.

In the above-described spool drive control device, the spool drive control unit may stop the rotation of the spool in response to an operation of the same operation element as the operation element operated in the speed change operation, when the setting of the post-change rotation speed by applying the speed change amount is set to be invalid.

According to the above configuration, when the setting of the post-change rotation speed by applying the speed change amount is set to be invalid, the bobbin drive control section can use the same operation member as the operation member operated in the speed change operation for an operation of temporarily stopping the rotation of the bobbin during the motor winding operation, and thus operability is improved. In addition, the limited number of operation pieces of the electric fishing reel for fishing can be used reasonably and effectively.

In the above-described bobbin drive control device, the bobbin drive control unit may drive the bobbin to rotate in accordance with the changed rotation speed while the speed change operation is continued.

According to the above configuration, while the operation element such as a predetermined button is kept pressed, for example, a change in the rotation speed based on the changed rotation speed can be given to the spool. By such an operation, the user can easily control the timing of the rotation speed change based on the changed rotation speed applied to the spool.

In addition, an aspect of the present invention is a spool drive control method for an electric fishing reel for fishing, including a spool drive control step of driving a spool of the electric fishing reel for fishing to rotate according to a changed rotation speed set as a result of a predetermined speed change amount being given to a rotation speed of the spool when a speed change operation is performed, in a state in which the spool is driven to rotate by a motor to wind up a fishing line.

In addition, an aspect of the present invention is a spool drive control program for an electric fishing reel for fishing, the program causing a computer as a spool drive control device to function as a spool drive control section, wherein the spool drive control program drives a spool of the fishing reel to rotate according to a post-change rotation speed set as a result of a predetermined speed change amount being given to a rotation speed of the spool when a speed change operation is performed, in a state where the spool is driven to rotate to wind up a fishing line.

[ Effect of the invention ]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a technical effect of reducing the uncomfortable feeling of the user to the rotation speed change, which is a temporary rotation speed change of the spool in response to the operation in the motor winding action.

Next, an electric fishing reel 1 as a spool drive control device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the present embodiment, the driving of the spool means that the spool is rotated by power obtained by, for example, a driving motor.

In the present embodiment, the control of the driving of the spool refers to control related to the driving of the spool. Such drive control of the spool includes control for rotating the spool, control for stopping the rotation of the spool, control for changing the rotation speed of the spool, and the like.

In the following description, the "driving" of the spool is sometimes referred to as "rotational driving", and the purpose thereof is to clearly describe the operation of rotating the spool.

In the following description, a case where the electric fishing reel 1 for fishing is a dual-bearing reel is exemplified. In fig. 1 and 2, the scale of each component may be appropriately changed as necessary in order to make each component a size that can be visually confirmed.

[ example of electric fishing reel for fishing ]

Fig. 1 and 2 show an example of the appearance of the electric fishing reel 1 for fishing. The electric fishing reel 1 shown in fig. 1 and 2 is driven by electric power supplied from an external power supply and has a power supply therein when used as a manual-winding dual-bearing reel.

The electric fishing reel 1 for fishing includes: a reel unit 2 that can be attached to a fishing rod; a handle 20 attached to the reel unit 2 so as to be rotatable about a handle axis C1; a spool 3 that is rotatable about a spool shaft C2 with respect to the reel unit 2, around which a fishing line, not shown, is wound, the spool shaft C2 being parallel to the handle shaft C1; and a motor 4 provided in the reel unit 2 and transmitting a rotational driving force to the spool 3.

The fishing electric reel 1 includes a clutch mechanism 5. The clutch mechanism 5 is a mechanism portion that can be switched between a connected state (clutch engaged) in which the spool 3 is connected to the handle 20 and a disconnected state (clutch disengaged) in which the spool 3 is disconnected from the handle 20. The switching between the clutch engaged state and the clutch disengaged state can be performed by the user operating the clutch operating member 50.

Here, in the present embodiment, the handle axis C1 and the spool axis C2 are provided in parallel with each other, and these directions are defined as a left-right direction L1 and a direction perpendicular to the left-right direction L1 and along a direction in which a fishing line wound around the spool 3 is paid out is defined as a front-rear direction L2 as necessary. In the front-rear direction L2, the direction in which fishing line is paid out from the spool 3 is defined as the front, the opposite direction is defined as the rear, and the left and right are defined as the viewpoint of the fishing electric reel 1 viewed from the rear side.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the electric fishing reel 1 viewed obliquely from the rear and upward, and fig. 2 is a perspective view of the electric fishing reel 1 viewed obliquely from the front and downward.

The reel unit 2 includes a main body frame 21, a cover 22 covering a part of the main body frame 21, and a display operation panel unit 23 positioned above the main body frame 21.

The main body frame 21 is an integrally formed member made of, for example, synthetic resin or metal. The main body frame 21 has: a right side plate 21A positioned on the handle 20 side with the spool 3 therebetween in the left-right direction L1; a left side plate 21B located at a position opposite to the right side plate 21A; and a plurality of connecting members 21C connecting the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B.

The right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B are disposed at an interval in the left-right direction L1. Further, a rotation driving mechanism such as a support portion that supports the spool 3 and the motor 4, and the clutch mechanism 5 are disposed on each of the side plates 21A and 21B.

The end portions of the spool rotation shaft (not shown) of the spool 3 are attached to the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B in a freely rotatable supported state. The connecting member 21C shown in fig. 2 has a plate shape and connects lower portions of the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B. A fishing rod attachment portion 24 for attachment to a fishing rod is attached to a substantially central portion of one of the link members 21C in the left-right direction L1.

The cover 22 has a right cover 22A, a left cover 22B, and a front cover 22C. The right cover 22A is provided with a predetermined housing space to cover the right plate 21A, and is fastened to an outer edge portion of the right plate 21A by, for example, screws. The left cover 22B is provided with a predetermined housing space to cover the left plate 21B, and is fastened to an outer edge portion of the left plate 21B by, for example, screws. The front cover 22C covers the front of the main body frame 21.

Although not shown, a connector for connecting an electric power supply line from the outside is provided at a front lower portion of the right side plate 21A.

The display operation panel unit 23 is a portion for displaying to a user who uses the fishing electric reel 1 and for being operated by the user (here, button operation).

The display operation panel section 23 is disposed between the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B. The display operation panel section 23 has an operation section 101 and a display section 102.

The operation unit 101 is a part operated by a user as a button. In the example shown in the figure, three buttons, i.e., the 1 st button BT-1, the 2 nd button BT-2, and the 3 rd button BT-3, are arranged as buttons (operation elements) for performing button operations in the operation unit 101.

In the following description, the 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd buttons BT-1, BT-2, and BT-3 will be referred to as buttons BT without particular distinction.

The display unit 102 is a part for displaying predetermined contents in response to the operation of the fishing electric reel 1. The display device included in the display unit 102 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a liquid crystal display device and an organic EL display device.

Fig. 3 shows an example of the form of the display operation panel 23 of the fishing electric reel 1. In the display operation panel section 23, three buttons, i.e., the 1 st button BT-1, the 2 nd button BT-2, and the 3 rd button BT-3, are arranged from left to right in a horizontally aligned manner on the lower side of the display section 102. Further, characters clearly indicating the BT function of each button are arranged at positions corresponding to the 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd buttons BT-1, BT-2, and BT-3 of the display operation panel unit 23.

The description will be made with reference to fig. 1 and 2. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the handle 20 has: a handle arm 25 which is non-rotatably attached to the distal end portion 20a of the handle shaft; and a handle knob (handle knob)26 attached to one end of the handle arm 25 so as to be rotatable about an axis parallel to the handle axis C1.

Further, a drag device 27 is provided on the reel unit 2 side.

In a state where the clutch mechanism 5 is in the clutch engaged state, the torque from the handle 20 is directly transmitted to the spool 3.

The spool 3 is rotatably provided between the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B via bearings (not shown). The spool 3 includes a spool rotation shaft, not shown, a cylindrical spool body 32, and flanges 33, wherein the spool body 32 is disposed coaxially with the spool rotation shaft and is rotatable in conjunction with the spool rotation shaft, and the flanges 33 are radially outwardly expanded at both ends of the spool body 32.

The spool 3 is driven to rotate by a motor 4 via a spool driving mechanism not shown, and a clutch mechanism 5 driven by a clutch operation member 50 is linked with the spool 3. The spool rotation shaft is rotatably supported by the right side cover 22A and the left side cover 22B through bearings.

By the operation of the clutch operation member 50, the clutch mechanism 5 can be switched between a clutch engaged state in which the rotation of the handle 20 can be transmitted to the spool 3 and a clutch disengaged state in which the rotation of the handle 20 cannot be transmitted to the spool 3. In the clutch engagement position, the rotation of the pinion is transmitted to the spool rotation shaft to be in a clutch engagement state, and the pinion and the spool rotation shaft can rotate integrally. In the clutch off position, the rotation of the pinion gear is not transmitted to the spool rotation shaft, and therefore, the clutch off state is established, and the spool 3 can freely rotate.

As shown in fig. 1, the clutch operating member 50 is a portion that performs an operation for switching the clutch mechanism 5 between the clutch engaged state and the clutch disengaged state.

The clutch operating member 50 is provided between the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B at the rear portion of the reel unit 2, and is provided so as to be movable in a direction approaching and separating from the rod attachment portion 24 at the rear portion of the reel unit 2. In the present embodiment, the clutch operating member 50 is provided so as to be swingable around the bobbin rotation shaft.

The spool driving mechanism drives the spool 3 to rotate in the winding direction. Further, when the fishing line is wound, the drag device 27 generates drag force on the spool 3 to prevent the fishing line from being cut.

The drag device 27 is disposed coaxially with the handle shaft between the handle arm 25 of the handle 20 and the right side cover 22A. The spool driving mechanism includes the motor 4 and a rotation transmission mechanism, wherein the motor 4 is prohibited from rotating in the spool direction by a reverse rotation prevention portion (not shown) in the form of a roller clutch (not shown), and the rotation transmission mechanism decelerates the rotation of the motor 4 and accelerates the rotation of the handle 20 to transmit the rotation to the spool 3.

As shown in fig. 2, the motor 4 is disposed at the front of the fishing electric reel 1 on the front side of the spool 3 (see fig. 1), and is provided in a state of being covered with the motor housing 40 in a half-open shape.

The spool drive lever 28 is rotatable about the rotation axis C3 within a certain rotation range in response to a user's operation. The spool drive lever 28 is an operation member that performs an operation for driving the spool in a rotational direction corresponding to the direction in which the fishing line is wound up. The spool drive lever 28 is set such that the rotational speed of the spool 3 changes in accordance with the rotational position of the spool drive lever 28. For example, when the rotational position of the spool drive lever 28 is, for example, the position rotated to the rearmost side (the nearest front side as viewed by the user who performs the operation), the spool 3 is in the state of stopping the driving, and the rotational speed of the spool gradually increases in stages in response to the rotation as the spool drive lever 28 is rotated forward from here.

[ functional Structure example of electric fishing reel for fishing ]

An example of the functional configuration of the electric fishing reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 4. In the figure, the same portions as those in fig. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

The fishing electric reel 1 in the figure includes an operation unit 101, a display unit 102, a control unit 103, a storage unit 104, a motor drive circuit 105, a motor 4, a spool 3, and a rotation sensor 106.

The control unit 103 performs various controls of the fishing electric reel 1. The function of the control unit 103 is realized by a cpu (central Processing unit) of the fishing electric reel 1 executing a program.

The control unit 103 includes a rotation speed setting unit 131, a spool drive control unit 132, a speed change amount setting unit 133, and a rotation speed detection unit 134.

The rotation speed setting unit 131 sets the rotation speed of the spool 3 in response to an operation during the motor winding operation in the constant speed mode. Specifically, the rotation speed setting unit 131 of the present embodiment sets the rotation speed of the spool 3 in response to an operation of the spool drive lever 28.

The rotational position (number of stages) of the spool drive lever 28 is changed in response to the user's operation. When the motor winding operation in the constant speed mode is performed, the rotation speed setting unit 131 detects the rotational position of the bobbin drive lever 28, and sets the rotation speed of the bobbin 3 corresponding to the detected rotational position. The rotation speed setting unit 131 may acquire the rotation speed of the spool 3 associated with the detected rotation position from the rotation speed storage unit 142, and set the acquired rotation speed.

Further, the spool drive lever 28 may also continuously change the rotational position. In this case, the rotation speed setting unit 131 may continuously change the rotation speed of the spool 3 in response to a change in the rotational position of the spool drive lever 28 corresponding to the operation.

Further, the function as an up button or a down button for adjusting the rotation speed may be assigned to a predetermined button of the electric fishing reel 1 for fishing, and the rotation speed setting unit 131 may set the rotation speed in accordance with the operation of the up button or the down button.

The bobbin drive control section 132 performs control (bobbin drive control) for driving the bobbin 3 to rotate by the motor 4.

As the bobbin drive control, the bobbin drive control section 132 drives the bobbin 3 to rotate at a rotation speed set by the rotation speed setting section 131 in accordance with the rotation position of the bobbin drive lever 28.

In addition, as the bobbin drive control, when the speed change operation is performed, the bobbin drive control section 132 sets the post-change rotation speed based on a result of a predetermined speed change amount being given to the rotation speed of the bobbin at the time when the speed change operation is performed. The bobbin drive control section 132 rotationally drives the bobbin 3 in accordance with the set post-change rotational speed.

The speed change amount setting unit 133 sets the speed change amount in response to an operation by the user. That is, in the present embodiment, the speed change amount for setting the changed rotation speed can be changed by the user's operation.

The rotation speed detecting unit 134 detects the rotation speed of the spool 3.

The storage unit 104 stores various information corresponding to the fishing electric reel 1. The storage unit 104 includes a speed change amount storage unit 141, a rotational speed storage unit 142, and a winding torque storage unit 143.

The speed change amount storage unit 141 stores a parameter value of the speed change amount set (registered) by the speed change amount setting unit 133 in response to the user's operation.

The rotation speed storage section 142 stores the rotation speed in correspondence with each rotation position of the spool drive lever 28 in correspondence with the speed constant mode.

The winding torque storage section 143 stores winding torque in correspondence with each rotational position of the bobbin drive lever 28 in correspondence with the tension constant mode. The winding torque storage unit 143 may store a current value to be supplied to the motor as the winding torque.

The motor drive circuit 105 is a circuit that drives the motor 4 in response to the control of the spool drive control section 132. The spool 3 is driven to rotate by power obtained by rotation of the motor 4.

The rotation sensor 106 detects rotation of the spool. The rotation speed detecting unit 134 of the control unit 103 can detect the rotation speed of the spool 3 based on the detection output of the rotation sensor 106. The rotation sensor 106 may be a sensor having a potentiometer or the like for detecting the rotational position of the spool 3, or may be a sensor for detecting the rotational speed by an angular velocity sensor or the like.

[ overview of temporary speed-changing function of Motor winding operation ]

The electric fishing reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment has a function of temporarily changing the speed. The temporary speed changing function is a function of temporarily changing the rotation speed of the spool 3 in response to the 1 st button BT-1 being pressed by the user's operation to be in an on state when the user operates the spool drive lever 28 to perform a winding-up operation (a motor winding operation) of a fishing line. When the state that the user presses the 1 st button BT-1 is released, the temporary speed changing function is turned off, the rotation speed corresponding to the rotation position of the spool drive lever 28 is restored, and the motor winding operation is continued.

The operation element for temporarily changing the speed function on and off may be an operation element other than the 1 st button BT-1.

There are cases where the fishing result is obtained by temporarily changing the rotational speed of the spool 3 during the motor winding operation. As a specific example, when north pacific squid (pacific squid: surumeika; Todarodes pacifics) is fished, after the fish is initially caught, a subtle speed change is given to a special artificial bait (lure) for a glue squid, thereby promoting the fish to eat. The temporary speed change function according to the present embodiment can be used to give a temporary speed change to the special lure for squid made of gelatin in such north squid fishing.

The motor winding speed in the temporary speed changing function is changed by adding a speed change amount to the rotation speed (original rotation speed) of the spool 3 corresponding to the rotation position of the spool drive lever 28. That is, the changed rotational speed (changed rotational speed) in the temporary change speed function is set based on the result of applying a speed change amount to the original rotational speed.

In addition, the speed change amount in the present embodiment can be set (registered) in advance by the user's operation. By configuring such that the user can set the speed change amount, the degree of change in the rotation speed of the spool 3 based on the temporary speed change function can be made closer to the feeling desired by the user.

An example of the operation of setting (registering) the speed variation will be described. For example, in a state where the motor winding operation is stopped (the edge of the boat is stopped) by winding up the fishing line to a predetermined winding stop length, the user performs a predetermined operation on a predetermined button of the operation unit 101 to display a parameter setting screen on the display unit 102, the parameter setting screen enabling setting of a parameter value of the speed change amount.

The button operated to display the parameter setting screen is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, the 1 st button BT-1. As described above, the turning on and off of the temporary change speed function is performed by operating the 1 st button BT-1. Therefore, the parameter corresponding to the temporary speed change function can be changed by operating the same 1 st button BT-1 when the motor winding operation is in a stopped state, and thus, it is easy for the user to remember the operation.

Fig. 5 shows an example of a parameter setting screen P on which an operation for setting a parameter value of a speed change amount can be performed. In the parameter setting screen P of the figure, the speed change amount setting area AR1 is an area corresponding to the setting of the speed change amount.

In a state where the parameter setting screen P is first displayed, the speed change amount setting area AR1 is in a state where no parameter value is particularly displayed. When the 1 st button BT-1 is pressed in this state, the parameter value of the speed change amount currently set is displayed in the speed change amount setting area AR1 for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds).

In addition, while the current setting value is displayed, the parameter value displayed in the speed change amount setting area AR1 is changed every time the operation (parameter value changing operation) of pressing the 1 st button BT-1 again is performed.

Here, the case where the variable range OF the parameter values listing the speed variation is defined hierarchically as "-5", "-4", "-3", "-2", "-1", "OF", "+ 1", "+ 2", "+ 3", "+ 4", "+ 5" is exemplified. The variable range of the parameter value of the speed change amount is an example, and can be changed as appropriate. In this case, as shown in the figure, the parameter value change pattern, which is the amount OF change in speed corresponding to the parameter value change operation, is cyclically changed in the order OF "-5", "-4", "-3", "-2", "-1", "OF", "+ 1", "+ 2", "+ 3", "+ 4", "+ 5" every time the operation OF pressing the 1 st button BT-1 is performed.

The actual values OF the defined speed variations, except for the parameter values OF the speed variations "OF", correspond to the parameter values "-5", "-4", "-3", "-2", "-1", "+ 2", "+ 3", "+ 4", "+ 5", respectively, OF the speed variations.

The parameter values "-5", "-4", "-3", "-2", "-1" of the speed variation respectively correspond to the actual values of the negative speed variation. The actual value of the speed variation of the negative value establishing the correspondence becomes larger in the order of the parameter values "-5", "-4", "-3", "-2", "-1" of the speed variation. When any one of the parameter values "-5", "-4", "-3", "-2", "-1" of the speed change amount is set, the rotation speed of the spool 3 is reduced by performing the speed changing operation.

The parameter values "+ 1", "+ 2", "+ 3", "+ 4", "+ 5" of the velocity variation respectively establish a correspondence with the actual value of the velocity variation of a positive value. The actual value of the velocity change amount of the positive value that establishes the correspondence relationship is larger in the order of the parameter values "+ 1", "+ 2", "+ 3", "+ 4", "+ 5" of the velocity change amount. When any one of the parameter values "+ 1", "+ 2", "+ 3", "+ 4", and "+ 5" of the speed change amount is set, the rotation speed of the spool 3 is increased by performing the speed changing operation.

The parameter value "OF" for the speed change amount corresponds to turning off (disabling) the temporary speed change function.

When the temporary speed change function is turned off, the spool 3 stops rotating in response to the user pressing the same 1 st button BT-1 used also for the speed change operation when the motor winding operation is performed at the rotation speed corresponding to the rotation position of the spool drive lever 28. After that, when the user releases the state of pressing the 1 st button BT-1, the motor winding operation is restarted at the rotation speed corresponding to the rotation position of the spool drive lever 28.

After the user displays the parameter value to be set in the speed change amount setting area AR1 by the parameter value changing operation, the user waits for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) without performing any special operation. When a certain time has elapsed, for example, the display of the parameter values in the speed change amount setting area AR1 disappears, and the parameter value last displayed in the speed change amount setting area AR1 is set (registered).

The parameter values set as described above are stored in the speed change amount storage unit 141 by the speed change amount setting unit 133. Furthermore, the parameter values "-5", "-4", "-3", "-2", "-1", "+ 2", "+ 3", "+ 4", "+ 5" are each associated with a value of a prescribed speed variation (for example, expressed in Xrpm). The speed change amount storage unit 141 may store a value of the speed change amount corresponding to the set parameter value.

In the present embodiment, the control mode of the motor winding operation corresponding to the rotational position of the spool drive lever 28 can be switched between the constant speed mode and the constant tension mode. The control mode of the motor winding operation can be switched in response to a predetermined operation of the operation unit 101 by a user, for example.

The constant speed mode is a control mode in which the driving control of the spool 3 is performed so that the rotation speed determined in accordance with the rotation position (number of stages) of the spool drive lever 28 is constant.

The tension-constant mode is a control mode in which the drive control of the spool 3 is performed so that the tension of the fishing line is constant with respect to the winding torque set in accordance with the rotational position (number of steps) of the spool drive lever 28.

The operation corresponding to the temporary speed changing function when the motor winding operation in the constant speed mode is performed is as follows.

That is, when the motor winding operation in the constant speed mode is performed, the user performs an operation (speed change operation) to bring the 1 st button BT-1 into a pressed state. The bobbin drive control section 132 acquires the rotation speed Vp of the bobbin 3 determined in accordance with the rotational position of the bobbin drive lever 28 at the time of the speed change operation. The bobbin drive control unit 132 rotationally drives the bobbin 3 at a post-change rotation speed Va (Vp + Vm) calculated by adding the currently set speed variation Vm to the acquired rotation speed Vp.

However, when the speed change amount Vm is a negative value corresponding to deceleration, a value obtained by adding the speed change amount Vm to the rotation speed Vp may be 0 or less. When such a value is directly applied to the post-change rotation speed Va, the post-change rotation speed Va becomes 0 or a negative value.

Although the rotation of the spool 3 may be stopped in response to the changed rotation speed Va being equal to or less than 0, it is possible to take an idea that it is not preferable to stop the rotation of the spool 3 in consideration of the fishing skill required for the temporary speed changing function.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the value obtained by adding the speed variation Vm to the rotation speed Vp is 0 or less, the spool 3 is driven to rotate by setting, for example, the lowest rotation speed (lowest rotation speed) among the rotation speeds corresponding to the rotational position of the spool drive lever 28 to the post-change rotation speed Va.

The speed change operation is released by releasing the state where the 1 st button BT-1 is pressed. In response to the release of the speed change operation, the bobbin drive control section 132 returns the rotational speed of the bobbin 3 from the changed rotational speed Va to the rotational speed Vp of the bobbin 3 corresponding to the rotational position of the bobbin drive lever 28, and drives the bobbin 3 to rotate.

The operation of the temporary speed changing function when the motor winding operation in the constant tension mode is performed is as follows.

When the motor winding operation in the constant tension mode is performed, the user performs a speed change operation using the 1 st button BT-1. In the tension constant mode, the rotation speed of the spool 3 is varied to keep the tension of the fishing line constant. Therefore, in this case, the rotation speed detecting unit 134 detects the actual rotation speed (rotation speed Vr) of the spool 3 at the time of the speed changing operation. The bobbin drive control unit 132 drives and rotates the bobbin 3 at a post-change rotation speed Va (═ Vr + Vm) calculated by adding the currently set speed variation Vm to the detected rotation speed Vr.

In the tension constant mode, as in the speed constant mode, when the speed variation Vm is a negative value corresponding to deceleration, a value obtained by adding the speed variation Vm to the rotation speed Vr may be 0 or less. Therefore, in the tension constant mode, as in the speed constant mode, when the value obtained by adding the speed variation Vm to the rotation speed Vr is 0 or less, the lowest rotation speed among the rotation speeds obtained by operating the spool drive lever 28 can be set as the post-change rotation speed Va, and the spool 3 can be driven to rotate.

When the speed changing operation is released in the tension maintaining mode, the spool drive control unit 132 switches from the drive control to the post-change rotation speed Va to the drive control to rotate the spool 3 so that the tension of the fishing line is maintained constant with respect to the winding torque set in accordance with the rotational position of the spool drive lever 28.

[ example of treatment procedure ]

An example of processing steps executed in association with the temporary speed changing function during the motor winding operation of the electric fishing reel 1 for fishing in a state in which the speed constant mode is set will be described with reference to the flowchart of fig. 6.

Step S101: in the fishing electric reel 1, the rotation speed setting unit 131 determines whether or not the operation of the spool drive lever 28 for the motor winding operation is performed in a state where the speed constant mode is set.

Step S102: when it is determined in step S101 that the spool drive lever 28 has been operated, the rotation speed setting unit 131 obtains the rotation speed Vp associated with the rotation position changed by the operation.

The rotational speed storage unit 142 stores information on the rotational speed Vp associated with each rotational position of the spool drive lever 28 in the constant speed mode. The rotation speed setting unit 131 obtains the rotation speed Vp associated with the rotational position obtained by operating the spool drive lever 28 from the rotation speed storage unit 142.

Step S103: the rotation speed setting unit 131 starts drive control for rotating the spool 3 as a motor winding operation, in which the spool 3 is rotated so as to be fixed to the rotation speed Vp acquired in step S102.

Step S104: after the process of step S103 or when it is determined in step S101 that the operation of the spool drive lever 28 is not performed, the spool drive control unit 132 determines whether or not the speed change operation is started while the motor winding operation is being performed. While the motor winding operation is being performed, the speed change operation is started by starting the state where the 1 st button BT-1 is pressed.

Step S105: in response to the start of the speed change operation, the spool drive control section 132 executes a process of setting the post-change rotation speed Va (post-change rotation speed setting process).

Step S106: the bobbin drive control section 132 starts drive control for rotating the bobbin 3 at the changed rotation speed Va set in step S105.

Step S107: in a state where the spool 3 is rotated at the changed rotation speed Va by the process of step S106, the spool drive control unit 132 waits for the release of the speed change operation started in accordance with step S104.

When the speed change operation is released because the state where the 1 st button BT-1 is pressed is released, the process returns to step S102. Accordingly, the spool 3 is returned to the state of being driven at the rotation speed Vp fixed in accordance with the rotation position of the spool drive lever 28.

An example of the post-change rotation speed setting process in step S105 in fig. 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart in fig. 7.

Step S201: the bobbin drive control unit 132 acquires the rotation speed Vp associated with the rotational position of the bobbin drive lever 28 at the time when the speed change operation is started from the storage unit 104. At this time, the spool 3 is rotated at the fixed rotation speed Vp.

Step S202: the bobbin drive control unit 132 acquires the speed variation Vm stored in the speed variation storage unit 141 in association with the parameter value of the speed variation.

For example, the storage section 104 may store a speed change amount table that associates a value of the speed change amount with each parameter value of the speed change amount. In this case, the bobbin drive control unit 132 can acquire the speed change amount Vm in correspondence with the parameter value of the speed change amount stored in the speed change amount storage unit 141 by referring to the speed change amount table. Alternatively, the spool drive control unit 132 may calculate the speed change amount Vm by a predetermined calculation using a parameter value of the speed change amount stored in the speed change amount storage unit 141.

Step S203: the spool drive control unit 132 calculates the calculated rotation speed Ve. The calculated rotation speed Ve is a value of a rotation speed calculated by simply adding (giving) the speed variation Vm to the rotation speed Vp.

Step S204: the spool drive control unit 132 determines whether or not the calculated rotation speed Ve calculated in step S203 is 0 or less (that is, 0 or a negative value).

Step S205: if it is determined in step S204 that the calculated rotation speed Ve is greater than 0, the spool drive control unit 132 sets the calculated rotation speed Ve to the post-change rotation speed Va.

Step S206: when it is determined in step S204 that the calculated rotation speed Ve is 0 or less, the bobbin drive control unit 132 sets the minimum rotation speed Vmin to the post-change rotation speed Va.

The minimum rotation speed Vmin is the lowest rotation speed among the rotation speeds corresponding to the rotation position of the spool drive lever 28. Therefore, in the case of the present embodiment, when the calculated rotation speed Ve is equal to or less than the minimum rotation speed Vmin, the minimum rotation speed Vmin is set to the post-change rotation speed Va.

An example of processing steps executed in association with the temporary speed changing function during the motor winding operation of the electric fishing reel 1 for fishing in a state in which the tension maintaining mode is set will be described with reference to the flowchart of fig. 8.

Step S301: in the fishing electric reel 1, the spool drive control unit 132 determines whether or not the operation of the spool drive lever 28 for the motor winding operation is performed in a state in which the tension constant mode is set.

Step S302: when it is determined in step S301 that the operation of the spool drive lever 28 has been performed, the spool drive control unit 132 acquires the spool torque Tc associated with the rotational position obtained by the operation.

The winding torque storage section 143 stores information of the winding torque Tc associated with each rotational position of the bobbin drive lever 28 in the tension constant mode. The bobbin driving control section 132 acquires the bobbin torque Tc associated with the rotational position obtained by the operation of the bobbin driving lever 28 from the bobbin torque storage section 143.

Step S303: the spool drive control unit 132 starts drive control for rotating the spool 3 as a motor winding operation, in which the spool 3 is rotated so that the tension of the fishing line is constant with respect to the winding torque Tc acquired in step S302.

When the spool 3 is rotated so that the tension of the fishing line is constant with respect to the winding torque Tc, the spool drive control unit 132 determines the winding diameter from the fishing line length per rotation of the spool 3 calculated in accordance with the current number of rotations of the spool 3. The bobbin drive control section 132 drives the motor 4 with a motor drive current corresponding to the actual winding torque of the motor drive circuit 105. The spool drive control unit 132 calculates the tension of the fishing line by correcting the actual winding torque by the winding diameter. The bobbin drive control section 132 performs control to change the drive current of the motor 4 so that the calculated tension is within a certain range.

Step S304: after the process of step S303 or when it is determined in step S301 that the operation of the spool drive lever 28 is not performed, the spool drive control unit 132 determines whether or not the speed change operation is started during the execution of the motor winding operation.

Step S305: in response to the start of the speed change operation, the spool drive control section 132 executes a process of setting the post-change rotation speed Va (post-change rotation speed setting process).

Step S306: the bobbin drive control section 132 starts drive control for rotating the bobbin 3 at the changed rotation speed Va set in step S305.

Step S307: in the state where the spool 3 is rotated at the changed rotation speed Va by the process of step S306, the spool drive control unit 132 waits for the release of the speed change operation started in accordance with step S304.

When the speed change operation is released, the process returns to step S302. Accordingly, the spool 3 is driven and controlled so that the tension of the fishing line is constant with respect to the winding torque Tc corresponding to the rotational position of the spool drive lever 28.

An example of the post-change rotational speed setting process in step S305 in fig. 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart in fig. 9.

Step S401: the bobbin drive control section 132 detects the rotation speed Vr at the time of starting the speed change operation based on the detection output of the rotation sensor 106.

Step S402: the bobbin drive control unit 132 acquires the speed variation Vm stored in the speed variation storage unit 141 in association with the parameter value of the speed variation.

Step S403: the spool drive control unit 132 calculates the calculated rotation speed Ve. The calculated rotation speed Ve in this case is a value of the rotation speed calculated by adding (giving) the speed variation Vm to the rotation speed Vr.

The processing of steps S404 to S406 is the same as steps S202 to S204 of fig. 7.

< modification example >

Next, a modified example of the present embodiment will be described.

In the above embodiment, when the calculated rotation speed Ve ((Vp + Vm) or (Vr + Vm)) is 0 or less in setting the post-change rotation speed Va, the bobbin drive control unit 132 sets the lowest rotation speed Vmin to the post-change rotation speed Va.

However, when the calculated rotation speed Ve is 0 or less, the bobbin drive control unit 132 may set 0 to the post-change rotation speed Va, for example, and stop the rotation of the bobbin 3.

Alternatively, for example, when the calculated rotation speed Ve is 0, the bobbin drive control unit 132 may set the minimum rotation speed Vmin to the post-change rotation speed Va, and when the calculated rotation speed Ve is a negative value, the bobbin drive control unit 132 may set 0 to the post-change rotation speed Va.

Alternatively, for example, when the calculated rotation speed Ve is 0, the bobbin drive control unit 132 may set 0 to the post-change rotation speed Va, and when the calculated rotation speed Ve is a negative value, the bobbin drive control unit 132 may set the lowest rotation speed Vmin to the post-change rotation speed Va.

The speed changing operation is not limited to the mode in which a predetermined button operation element such as the 1 st button BT-1 is pressed as in the above embodiment.

For example, in the speed changing operation, for example, the drive control based on the changed rotation speed may be turned on in response to one-time pressing operation of a predetermined button operation element, and then the drive control based on the changed rotation speed may be turned off in response to one-time pressing operation of the predetermined button operation element. In this case, the button operator for turning on the drive control based on the changed rotation speed and the button operator for turning off the drive control based on the changed rotation speed may be the same or different.

The speed change operation may be a method of switching on and off of the drive control based on the changed rotation speed by operating a lever operation element other than the spool drive lever 28, for example.

In the above-described embodiment, as illustrated in fig. 5, in addition to the change OF the parameter value OF the speed change amount, any one OF the parameter values ("-5" -1 "," +1 "-" +5 ") and" OF "corresponding to the speed change amount is selected, and thereby the operation related to the on/off (active/inactive) OF the temporary speed change function is performed. However, the operation of switching on and off (enabling and disabling) the temporary speed change function may be performed by operating a predetermined operation element provided in the fishing electric reel 1, for example, differently from the change of the parameter value of the speed change amount.

The electric fishing reel 1 according to the above embodiment can be switched between the constant speed mode and the constant tension mode with respect to the motor winding operation. However, the fishing electric reel 1 according to the embodiment may be configured to be capable of executing only either one of the motor winding operation in the constant speed mode and the motor winding operation in the constant tension mode.

Further, a program for realizing the function of the electric fishing reel 1 according to the above-described embodiment may be recorded in a computer-readable recording medium, and the processing of the electric fishing reel 1 may be performed by causing a computer system to read and execute the program recorded in the recording medium. Here, "causing a computer system to read and execute a program recorded in a recording medium" includes installing the program in the computer system. The "computer system" referred to herein includes hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. In addition, a "computer system" may include a plurality of computer apparatuses connected via a network including communication lines such as the internet, WAN, LAN, dedicated line, and the like. The "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a storage device such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a removable medium such as a ROM or a CD-ROM, or a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. The recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM. In addition, the recording medium also includes a recording medium provided inside or outside, which is accessible from the distribution server to distribute the program. The program code stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the program code in a form executable at the terminal apparatus. That is, the configuration is not limited to the one stored in the distribution server as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a format executable by the terminal device. The configuration may be such that the program is divided into a plurality of programs, the programs are downloaded at different times and then combined in the terminal device, and the distribution server that distributes the divided programs may be different. The "computer-readable recording medium" also includes a recording medium that holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory (RAM) in a computer system serving as a server or a client when the program is transmitted via a network. The program may be a program for realizing a part of the functions. Further, the program may be a program that can realize the above-described functions in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system, that is, a differential file (differential program).
