Abstract
A display system for visualizing fish strike data in electric reels, comprising a rotation speed detection unit configured to determine the line speed of a fishing line, a current detection unit and a voltage detection unit configured to detect system current and voltage values, and a memory unit configured to store a rotation speed relationship table and a power relationship table. A coefficient calculation unit substitutes the detected values into respective relationship tables to calculate a line speed coefficient and a power coefficient, which are then integrated by a fish strike data calculation unit to calculate fish strike data, with the fish strike data being visualized on a display device.

A display system for visualizing fish strike data in electric reels, comprising:
- a rotation speed detection unit, configured to detect the rotation speed of a spool per unit of time to determine the line speed of a fishing line during retrieval or release from the spool;
- a current detection unit, configured to detect the operating current value of the system;
- a voltage detection unit, configured to detect the operating voltage value of the system;
- a memory unit, pre-storing a rotation speed relationship table and a power relationship table;
- a coefficient calculation unit, configured to substitute the detected spool rotation speed into the rotation speed relationship table to calculate a line speed coefficient, and to substitute the detected current value and voltage value into the power relationship table to calculate a power coefficient, then to store the calculated line speed coefficient and power coefficient in the memory unit;
- and
- a fish strike data calculation unit, configured to integrate the line speed coefficient and the power coefficient to calculate fish strike data, and then generate a visualized result based on the calculated fish strike data for display on a display device to intuitively represent the fish's fighting force;
- wherein the rotation speed relationship table defines the fish explosive power exerted on the system by setting the line speed and the line speed coefficient as the X and Y axes, respectively, using a first reference value corresponding to a zero line speed state as a baseline, which indicates the condition where the fish pulling force equals the system force;
- when the line speed increases from zero in the positive direction representing spool line retrieval, it is represented as a first fish explosive power function on the X-Y coordinates, where the line speed coefficient gradually decreases but remains greater than zero;
- when the line speed increases from zero in the negative direction representing spool line release, it is represented as a second fish explosive power function on the X-Y coordinates, where the line speed coefficient gradually increases, and the tangent slope of the first fish explosive power function is less than that of the second fish explosive power function;
- and wherein the power relationship table defines the fish pulling force exerted on the system by setting the power and the power coefficient as the X and Y axes, respectively, with the power calculated based on the detected current value and voltage value starting from zero and increasing positively, and the power coefficient starting at a value greater than zero, and wherein a critical power value divides the power range into a first region from zero to the critical power value represented by a first fish pulling force function, and a second region from the critical power value onward to higher power levels represented by a second fish pulling force function, with the tangent slope of the first fish pulling force function being greater than that of the second fish pulling force function.
