Fishing reel having centrifugal brake system

摘要

A fishing reel having a centrifugal brake system is provided. The fishing reel includes a frame, a shaft, a spool and a centrifugal brake system. The centrifugal brake system includes a support member, a plurality of brake shoes, a brake disc and a controller. The support member is provided on one side of the spool and is rotated in conjunction with the spool. The brake shoes are radially coupled to the support member by respective shaft pins. Each brake shoe has a heavy weight part and a light weight part on opposite sides based on the shaft pin to have a weight eccentric structure. When the spool is rotated, the brake shoes are swung by centrifugal force. The controller adjusts a distance between the brake disc and the brake shoes, thus controlling braking power.

1. A fishing reel, comprising:
a frame; a shaft coupled to the frame; a spool provided on the shaft to allow a fishing line to be wound around the spool; and a centrifugal brake system, comprising:
a support member provided on one side of the spool, the support member being rotated in conjunction with the spool;a plurality of brake shoes radially coupled to the support member by respective shaft pins disposed in the support member, at least two shaft pins disposed at different distances from a center axis of the shaft, each of the brake shoes having a heavy weight part and a light weight part on opposite sides based on the corresponding shaft pin to have a weight eccentric structure, wherein when the spool is rotated, the brake shoes are swung by centrifugal force such that the heavy weight parts of the brake shoes are swung away from the shaft and the light weight parts are swung towards the shaft;a brake disc coupled to the frame;a connection member disposed between the support member and the brake disc;a plurality of slot-type stoppers provided in the connection member, each of the slot-type stoppers limiting a swing displacement of one of the brake shoes, at least two of the slot-type stoppers having different slot depths such that the two corresponding brake shoes have different swing displacements; a plurality of planar portions formed in between the slot-type stoppers in the connection member, the planar portions preventing the brake shoes from swinging when the support member is rotated with respect to the connection member; and
a controller controlling braking power by adjusting a distance between the brake disc and the brake shoes, thus controlling braking power.
