Patent number: 11841427Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver fish-finder that stabilizes its balanced state while in water to transmit ultrasonic waves vertically downward, thus improving detection accuracy. The ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver 10 includes an ultrasonic transducer 21 that transmits and receives ultrasonic waves; a hanging-bell shaped case 50 that houses the ultrasonic transducer 21; and a cable 40 that suspends the case 50. A weight 81 is arranged above the ultrasonic transducer 21 provided at the bottom 54 of the case 50. In addition, the filler A1 is filled into the case 50 such that a cavity A2 is secured in the upper region of the case 50.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2019Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: HONDA ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenji Nagareda, Shuichi Sano

Patent number: 11635515Abstract: The flasher-type multi-frequency fish finder includes a wideband ultrasonic transducer, a display-rotating disk, a motor and a control device. The plurality of display LEDs are composed of the first, second and third display LEDs. The control device has a signal-separating and obtaining part and a light-emission signal-producing part. The signal-separating and obtaining part separates the reflected signal and obtains the first reflected signal corresponding to the high frequency, the second reflected signal corresponding to the medium frequency, and the third reflected signal corresponding to the low frequency. The light-emission signal-producing part generates first, second and third light-emission signals based on the first, second and third reflection signals, respectively. The first, second and third annular-display regions are concentrically set on the display surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: HONDA ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenji Nagareda, Shuichi Sano, Kazuki Higuchi

Publication number: 20220291365Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver with a fastening member that enables the case of such transmitter/receiver to be fastened reliably without impairing the usability of such transmitter/receiver during normal use. The ultrasonic-wave transmitter/receiver 10 comprises an ultrasonic transducer that transmits and receives ultrasonic waves; a case 50 that houses the ultrasonic transducer; and a cable 40 that suspends the case 50. The case 50 is of a hanging-bell shape comprising a lower-half part 51 having a bottom surface 52 and an outer-peripheral surface 53; and an upper-half part 61 having a structure of which the outer diameter gradually decreases toward the upper end. At least the lower-half part 51 of the case 50 is made of an elastic body. The groove 57 extending in the circumferential direction of the lower-half part 51 is formed on the outer-peripheral surface 53 of the lower-half part 51.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2019Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Kenji NAGAREDA, Shuichi SANO
