A clutch plate 37 for transmitting or interrupting the winding power from the motor 17 to the spool 7 is provided between the clutch plate 37 and the clutch plate 37.

The electric reel for fishing according to the present embodiment has, in addition to the structure described above, a fisherman holding both sides of the reel body 1 with both hands at the front of the right side of the reel body 1 during actual fishing. In the held state, one motor output adjustment lever (hereinafter referred to as “lever”) 39 operable with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand is mounted rotatably in the front-rear direction of the reel body 1 over a range of about 120 °. At the same time, a rotary potentiometer 41 is connected to the lever 39 as output adjustment means of the motor 17, and the rotation of the lever 39 causes the motor 1 to rotate.
The output 7 is continuously increased or decreased from the winding stop state (off state) to the maximum value.

That is, as is well known, the potentiometer 4
Reference numeral 1 denotes a device which moves the brush with a given mechanical displacement, slides the brush on a fixed resistor, and changes the resistance value to extract a voltage corresponding to the position of the brush.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the lever 39 is connected to the potentiometer 41, and the position of the brush in the potentiometer 41 is changed by rotating the lever 39. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a change in the resistance value of the potentiometer 41 due to the operation of the lever 39 is input to the control circuit 43, and the drive current is supplied to the motor 17 as a duty ratio of a pulse signal corresponding to the operation amount of the lever 39. The time ratio is variably controlled by the control circuit 43, and the rotation of the motor 17 is changed from the winding stop state to the maximum value (0

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 45 denotes a control unit for storing the control circuit 43, and the control unit 45 is a watertight storage unit 4 integrated with the reel side frames 3 and 5.
7 and assembled to the reel body 1.

The operation panel 4 of the control unit 45
An ON / OFF switch 51 for the motor 17 and a digital display unit 53 are provided on the top of the motor 9.

The digital display 53 is provided with a display 55 for displaying the motor output by operating the lever 39. The display 5 is provided in accordance with the adjustment of the motor output.
The scale of the bar display amount of No. 5 sequentially changes from “0” to “100”. And the above ON / OF
When the F switch 51 is turned on, winding of the fishing line 9 is started with the motor output of the lever 39 at the current position, and thereafter, the output of the motor 17 can be continuously controlled according to the operation of the lever 39.

In the drawing, reference numeral 57 denotes a power cord connected to the reel body 1 via a connector 59. The power cord is connected to a DC current of a battery or the like disposed on the ship by a crocodile clip or the like. , The motor 17 and the control circuit 43 are activated.

Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, when fishing is performed, the power cord 57 is connected to the reel body 1 via the connector 59, and the power cord 57 is mounted on the boat by a crocodile clip or the like. It is connected to a DC power supply such as a placed battery.

When the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned ON when a fish hits, the lever 3
The spool 7 is rotated by the motor output at the current position 9 and the fishing line 9 is wound up. Therefore, if the angler wants to slowly wind up the fishing line 9 while checking the display 55, for example, a lever display on the display 55 is displayed. Operate the lever 39 so that the scale of the amount is "20". If the fish is strongly pulled and the harness is strong, operate the lever 39 so that the scale of the bar display amount is "80". If the output of the motor 17 is controlled while operating the lever 39 in accordance with the above situation, the fishing line 9 can be wound at a motor speed optimal for winding. Then, when it is desired to stop winding, the lever 39 may be returned so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes “0”.

As described above, according to the electric fishing reel according to the present embodiment, the motor output is transmitted to the reel body 1 while taking into account the Harris strength, the target fish, the size and the number of hits of the fish, the tide, and the waves. The number of revolutions of the spool 7 can be continuously increased or decreased from the winding stop state to the maximum value by controlling with one mounted lever 39, and the fisherman holds both sides of the reel body 1 with both hands. Since the lever 39 can be operated with the thumb and the index finger without shifting the right hand, the operability of winding the fishing line 9 is remarkably improved as compared with a conventional electric fishing reel.

In this embodiment, the potentiometer 41 is used as a motor output adjusting means for continuously increasing or decreasing the motor output of the motor 17 by rotating the lever 39. Instead of these, a potentiometer 41 and a Hall element are used. It may be used, and even with such a structure, the intended purpose can be achieved similarly to the above embodiment.

In this embodiment, when the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned on, the winding of the fishing line 9 is started by the motor output of the lever 39 at the current position, and thereafter, the lever 3 is turned on.
Although the output of the motor 17 can be continuously controlled in accordance with the operation of No. 9, the ON / OFF switch 51 may be omitted. That is, when the lever 39 is rotated to the foremost position, the motor output is set to the winding stop state, and by rotating the motor forward, the motor output can be continuously adjusted to the maximum value. From ON / O
The FF switch 51 may be omitted, and the lever 39 may be configured to also serve as a power switch (ON / OFF switch).

Then, in such a configuration, in consideration of safety, the lever 39 is once returned to the "0" position, and then the winding of the spool 7 is started (the safety function is provided). That is, for example, when the power cord is disconnected at the time of actual fishing and the like, and the power cord is
The motor is not driven again unless the position is returned to the position "0" once.

As a result, the motor is not re-driven in accordance with the shift position, so that a switch operation error that is likely to occur when the switch operation is performed in a hurry can be prevented.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, the lever 39 is installed in the front of the right side of the reel body 1, but as shown in FIG.
The lever 39 may be disposed on the operation panel 49 of the control unit 45, and the position of the lever is not particularly limited.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment uses a reed switch instead of the potentiometer 41 to increase or decrease the motor output in multiple stages. Since the configuration except for the inventive portion is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted here, and the inventive portion will be described exclusively. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In the drawing, reference numeral 61 denotes a control unit 45.
A slide lever 65 including a magnet 63 is mounted on the slide base 61 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction of the reel body 67.

In the control unit 45, a number of reed switches 69 are provided in parallel with the magnets 63, and as shown in FIG. ON,
A change in the resistance value detected when the switch is turned off is input to the control circuit 71. Then, the control circuit 71 variably controls the drive power supply time ratio to the motor 17 as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the operation amount (displacement amount) of the slide lever 65, so that the rotation of the motor 17 is performed in multiple stages ( (0-100%).

Further, as in the first embodiment, the bar display of the display 55 provided on the digital display section 53 is sequentially changed by adjusting the motor output of the slide lever 65. Then, the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned ON.
When operated, the output of the motor 17 can be continuously controlled according to the operation of the slide lever 65.

According to the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, when the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned ON when a fish hits, the winding of the fishing line 9 is carried out by the motor output of the slide lever 65 at the current position. Since the fishing line 9 is started, the angler controls the output of the motor 17 by operating the slide lever 65 in accordance with the winding state while checking the display 55, and the fishing line 9 is wound at an optimum motor speed for winding. Can be When it is desired to stop winding, the slide lever 6 is set so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes “0”.
You just have to return 5.

As described above, also in the electric fishing reel according to the present embodiment, the motor output is controlled by the slide lever 65 serving as the same operation unit in consideration of the harris strength, the target fish, the size and the number of hits of the fish, the tide, the waves, and the like. However, in many stages (0-100
%), The number of rotations of the spool 7 can be increased or decreased, so that the operability to wind up the fishing line 9 is dramatically improved as compared with a conventional electric fishing reel.

In the second and third embodiments, a volume switch or a hall element may be used as the motor output adjusting means, and a safety function similar to that of the first embodiment is provided.

[0034]

According to the present invention, at the time of the spool winding operation by the motor, the angler continuously displaces the single motor output adjusting member with the fingers of the hand while maintaining the reel body. While checking the increase or decrease of the motor output displayed on the display provided at the top, it is possible to adjust the hoisting speed according to the situation of the fishing place, so the fine adjustment of the hoisting speed according to the fish pulling condition The operation can be performed reliably and easily without observing the operation position of the output adjuster and the rotation state of the spool.
