[0002] In the development of modern science and technology, zoom eyepieces, as an optical device, are widely used in various fields. It can achieve clear observation of objects near and far, providing great convenience for users. The zoom eyepiece is mainly composed of two convex lens groups, one of which is fixed, while the other can change its position by rotation, so as to achieve the magnification or reduction of the object. When the light passes through the first convex lens group, it will refract and focus on the second convex lens group. By adjusting the position of the second convex lens group, we can change the refraction angle and distance of the light, so as to achieve the effect of magnification or reduction. This design allows the zoom eyepiece to flexibly adjust the focus according to the needs of the user to achieve clear observation.

[0003] The zoom eyepiece designed in this utility model is mainly used in firearms, and its use environment is more harsh, and the impact level is as high as 1000G.

[0004] The zoom eyepiece currently used in firearms is usually fixed to the screw hole of the rotating barrel by a handwheel guide pin, and then cooperates with the internal cam rotating barrel circular hole to realize the function of continuous zoom. Its structural form is a rotating barrel fixing method, which poses risks in use environments that require impact resistance and has a short service life. The reliability of environmental adaptability impact tests in mass production is insufficient, which affects production costs and use costs. Utility Model Content

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 This embodiment provides a continuous zoom eyepiece, including: a fixed barrel 1, a variable power rotating barrel 2, a cam barrel assembly 3 and an eyepiece group 4.

[0023] One end of the variable power rotating cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the fixed cylinder 1, and the cam cylinder assembly 3 is built into the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 1. The cam cylinder assembly 3 includes an outer cam cylinder 31 and an inner cam cylinder 32. The outer wall of the outer cam cylinder 31 is circumferentially provided with an outer cam cylinder rotation groove 31a and a first hand wheel guide pin mounting inner hole 31b. The outer wall of one end of the fixed cylinder 1 close to the variable power rotating cylinder 2 is provided with a fixed cylinder straight groove 1a, and the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 1 is also provided with a second hand wheel guide pin mounting hole 1b. The variable power rotating cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the outer cam cylinder 31 via a first hand wheel guide pin 5. The first hand wheel guide pin 5 is built into the fixed cylinder straight groove 1a, and the first hand wheel guide pin 5 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder straight groove 1a.

[0024] Specifically, one end of the first handwheel guide pin 5 is inserted into the first handwheel guide pin mounting inner hole 31b to achieve a fixed connection with the outer cam tube 31, and the other end of the first handwheel guide pin 5 is inserted into the first handwheel guide pin mounting outer hole 2a to achieve a fixed connection with the zoom rotating tube 2.

[0025] Preferably, the variable power rotating cylinder 2 and the fixed cylinder 1 are rotatably connected by shaft-hole matching.

[0026] Preferably, the rotating cylinder straight groove 2b and the first hand wheel guide nail mounting outer hole 2a are arranged relative to each other at an angle of 180°.

[0027] Specifically, when the power-changing rotating cylinder 2 is rotated, the power-changing rotating cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the outer cam cylinder 31 via the first hand wheel guide pin 5 to drive the outer cam cylinder 31 to rotate relative to the fixed cylinder 1 .

[0028] Furthermore, a second handwheel guide pin 6 is installed in the second handwheel guide pin installation hole 1b, a rotating cylinder straight groove 2b is opened on the outer wall of the variable magnification rotating cylinder 2, the second handwheel guide pin 6 is built into the rotating cylinder straight groove 2b, and the second handwheel guide pin 6 is slidably connected to the rotating cylinder straight groove 2b.

[0029] Preferably, the fixing cylinder straight groove 1a and the second hand wheel guide nail mounting hole 1b are arranged relative to each other at 180°.

[0030] Specifically, the rotating cylinder straight groove 2b is used to limit the rotation angle of the second hand wheel guide pin 6. Since the second hand wheel guide pin 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer cam cylinder 31, when the second hand wheel guide pin 6 rotates to the two ends of the rotating cylinder straight groove 2b, the second hand wheel guide pin 6 cannot continue to expand and rotate. That is, the rotation angle of the outer cam cylinder 31 is limited.

[0031] Furthermore, the inner cam barrel 32 is built into the outer cam barrel 31, and the inner cam barrel 32 is rotatably connected to the outer cam barrel 31. The outer wall of the inner cam barrel 32 is provided with an inner cam barrel straight groove 31b, and the outer wall of the outer cam barrel 31 is provided with an outer cam barrel rotating groove 31a. The inner cavity of the inner cam barrel 32 is provided with a compensation group 7 and a magnification group 8.

[0032] Specifically, the inner cam barrel 32 and the outer cam barrel 31 are clearance-matched, and the inner cam barrel 32 and the outer cam barrel 31 are coaxially arranged.

[0033] Furthermore, the zoom group in the eyepiece is mainly used to provide different magnifications required for microscopic observation to meet different observation needs. The zoom group of the eyepiece is usually composed of several lenses, which can change the focal length by moving the position of the lens, thereby adjusting the magnification. When the position of the lens group changes, the magnification of the eyepiece will change.

[0034] Furthermore, the main function of the compensation group in the eyepiece is to correct the optical distortion generated when the eyepiece is used to ensure that the observed image has a high imaging quality. Due to the design and manufacturing process limitations of the eyepiece, they may introduce some optical distortions during the magnification process, such as astigmatism, field curvature and distortion. The compensation group is a special design in the eyepiece, which is usually composed of specific lenses to correct the above distortions. Specifically, the compensation group will be designed with a corresponding shape and focal length according to the characteristics of the imaging, so as to compensate for the distortion generated by the imaging during the magnification process of the eyepiece.

[0035] Furthermore, the compensation group 7 and the zoom group 8 are both driven and connected to the cam barrel assembly 3 through a driving guide pin 9, one end of the driving guide pin 9 is fixedly connected to the compensation group 7, one end of the adjacent driving guide pin 9 is fixedly connected to the zoom group 8, and the other end of the driving guide pin 9 fixedly connected to the compensation group 7 and the zoom group 8 is built into the outer cam barrel rotating groove 31a and the inner cam barrel straight groove 31b.

[0036] Furthermore, the driving guide pin 9 is built into the outer cam barrel rotating groove 31a and the inner cam barrel straight groove 31b, and the driving guide pin 9 is slidably connected with the outer cam barrel rotating groove 31a and the inner cam barrel straight groove 31b.

[0037] Specifically, when the magnification rotating cylinder 2 is rotated, the magnification rotating cylinder 2 drives the outer cam cylinder 31 to rotate. When the outer cam cylinder 31 rotates, the driving guide pin 9 is built into the outer cam cylinder rotating groove 31a, which drives the driving guide pin 9 to move. Since the driving guide pin 9 is also built into the inner cam straight groove 31b, the driving guide pin 9 can only move along the direction of the inner cam straight groove 31b. That is, when the magnification rotating cylinder 2 rotates, the magnification group 8 and the compensation group 7 move relative to each other, adjusting the distance between the two, and providing different magnification factors required for eyepiece observation to meet different observation needs.

[0038] Furthermore, the eyepiece group 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed tube 1 away from the variable power rotating tube 2 , and a retaining pressure ring 10 is provided between the outer wall of the eyepiece group 4 and the inner wall of the eyepiece group 4 .

[0039] Furthermore, the anti-backlash pressure ring 10 is annular as a whole, the inner hole diameter of the anti-backlash pressure ring 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the multi-thread of the eyepiece group 4, and the inner diameter and outer diameter of the anti-backlash pressure ring 10 are eccentrically arranged.

[0040] Preferably, in the present embodiment, the inner hole diameter of the anti-recoil pressure ring 10 is 43.2 mm, and the inner hole and the outer hole of the anti-recoil pressure ring 10 are eccentrically arranged, and the eccentric distance between the center positions of the two is 0.5 mm. The outer diameter size of the multi-thread in the eyepiece group 4 is 43 mm, so the assembly direction can be changed from the right side of the lens barrel of the normal eyepiece group 4 to first inserting the anti-recoil pressure ring 10 into the lens barrel of the eyepiece group 4, and then locking the anti-recoil pressure ring 10, so as to achieve the diopter adjustment function of the eyepiece group 4 within the designed range. The anti-recoil pressure ring 10 with the eccentric design can solve the problem that the anti-recoil pressure ring 10 cannot be assembled from the front due to the excessive size of the eye mask interface of the eyepiece group 4, and the eye mask interface is split into two parts. The eyepiece group 4 and the eye mask are designed as an integrated whole, which can reduce production costs and assembly efficiency.

[0041] Working principle: The continuous zoom eyepiece provided by the utility model comprises a fixed barrel 1, a variable power rotating barrel 2, a cam barrel assembly 3 and an eyepiece group 31. One end of the variable power rotating barrel 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the fixed barrel 1, the cam barrel assembly 3 is built into the inner cavity of the fixed barrel 1, the cam barrel assembly 3 comprises an outer cam barrel 31 and an inner cam barrel 32, the outer wall of the outer cam barrel 31 is circumferentially provided with an outer cam barrel rotating groove 31a and a first hand wheel guide pin mounting inner hole 31b, the outer wall of the fixed barrel 1 close to one end of the variable power rotating barrel 2 is provided with a fixed barrel straight groove 1a, the outer wall of the fixed barrel 1 is provided with a second hand wheel guide pin mounting hole 1b, the variable power rotating barrel 2 is fixedly connected to the outer cam barrel 31 through a first hand wheel guide pin 5, the first hand wheel guide pin 5 is built into the fixed barrel straight groove 1a, and the first hand wheel guide pin 5 is slidably connected to the fixed barrel straight groove 1a.

[0042] Specifically, when the magnification rotating cylinder 2 is rotated, the magnification rotating cylinder 2 drives the outer cam cylinder 31 to rotate. When the outer cam cylinder 31 rotates, the driving guide pin 9 is built into the outer cam cylinder rotating groove 31a, which drives the driving guide pin 9 to move. Since the driving guide pin 9 is also built into the inner cam straight groove 31b, the driving guide pin 9 can only move along the direction of the inner cam straight groove 31b. That is, when the magnification rotating cylinder 2 rotates, the magnification group 8 and the compensation group 7 move relative to each other, adjusting the distance between the two, and providing different magnification factors required for eyepiece observation to meet different observation needs.

[0043] The specific implementation methods of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
