[0028] As described in the background technology section, the aiming point or aiming reticle of the existing sight is illuminated by LED, and the LED is powered by a battery. When the battery is exhausted, the battery of the sight needs to be replaced, which wastes some unnecessary time. In addition, the battery of the existing sight is a button battery with a small capacity, which leads to frequent battery replacement of the sight, causing a lot of inconvenience to the user. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing sight.

[0029] In order to better describe the technical solution of the present invention, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 6 An embodiment of the sight provided by the present invention is described.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a sighting device, including a scope body 1, a rechargeable battery 2 and a rechargeable sighting device bracket 3, wherein the rechargeable sighting device bracket 3 includes a bracket body 4 for mounting the sighting device and a power supply circuit board 31 for electrically connecting to the rechargeable battery 2, a card slot 41 for connecting to a gun rail is provided at the bottom of the bracket body 4, the bracket body 4 is also provided with a battery compartment 42 for mounting the rechargeable battery 2 and a charging interface 43 for connecting to an external power source, the battery compartment 42 and the charging interface 43 are both located above the card slot 41, the power supply circuit board 31 is installed in the battery compartment 42, one end of the charging interface 43 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit board 31, and the other end of the charging interface 43 is connected to the external environment. The scope body 1 is connected to the bracket body 4, and the scope body 1 is located above the card slot 41, the rechargeable battery 2 is installed in the battery compartment 42 and is electrically connected to the power supply circuit board 31, so that the charging interface 43, the power supply circuit board 31 and the rechargeable battery 2 form a rechargeable and dischargeable power module.

[0032] It is understandable that the above-mentioned sighting device also includes a light source module 5 (refer to Figure 2As shown in the figure, the light source module 5 is installed inside the mirror body 1 and connected to the power supply circuit board 31 of the power supply module through a wire, so that the power supply module provides the light source module 5 with a stable power supply required for lighting. The power supply circuit board 31 has a constant voltage and constant current module and a protection module for charging management. The constant voltage and constant current module mainly provides a stable input for the rechargeable battery 2, such as providing a corresponding constant voltage according to the allowable charging voltage of the battery. The protection module mainly plays three roles: overcharge protection, over-discharge protection and over-temperature protection. For example, when the power supply circuit board 31 detects that the battery is fully charged, it stops charging to prevent the battery from overcharging.

[0033] After the sight is fixedly mounted on the firearm through the card slot 41 and used for a period of time, when the power of the rechargeable battery 2 is about to be exhausted, for example, when the lighting brightness of the light source module 5 is darker than before under the same lighting gear, the charging plug connected to the external power supply is inserted into the charging interface 43 to charge the rechargeable battery 2, so that the sight can continue to be used. Even when used outdoors, the sight can be charged by a mobile power supply, so that the sight can be used continuously. In this process, there is no need to disassemble and assemble the battery installation device of the sight, which not only saves disassembly and assembly time, but also does not need to replace the battery, providing great convenience to the user. In addition, the structure of the sight can use a large-capacity rechargeable battery 2, and its endurance is greatly improved compared with the button batteries commonly used in existing sights, so the use time of the sight can be extended.

[0034] In this embodiment, the charging interface 43 can be set to one of the following four commonly used interfaces as needed: micro USB interface, Type-C interface, 30-PIN interface and lightning interface.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in order to prevent moisture from the external environment from entering the power module, in this embodiment, the bracket body 4 is also provided with a waterproof port 44 communicating with the external environment, and the charging interface 43 is communicated with the external environment through the waterproof port 44. The sight bracket 3 also includes a waterproof plug 32, which is inserted into the waterproof port 44 to prevent water from entering the charging interface 43. It should be noted that the waterproof plug 32 can be made of rubber or silicone material, so that when the waterproof plug 32 is inserted into the waterproof port 44, the waterproof port 44 is prevented from communicating with the external environment by deformation of the rubber or silicone, thereby preventing moisture from the external environment from entering the power module through the charging interface 43, and the waterproof plug 32 is not easy to separate from the waterproof port 44. The waterproof plug 32 can also be made of hard materials such as metal, hard plastic, etc., and the waterproof plug 32 can also play a waterproof role through the close fit between the waterproof plug 32 and the waterproof port 44. In order to ensure that it is not only waterproof during use, but also that the waterproof plug 32 is not easy to separate from the waterproof port 44, a first sealing ring 33 is provided on the outer surface of the waterproof plug 32, so that when the waterproof plug 32 is inserted into the waterproof port 44, the deformation of the first sealing ring 33 is utilized to prevent the waterproof port 44 from being connected to the external environment, thereby preventing moisture from the external environment from entering the power module through the charging port 43.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, when the sight needs to be charged, the waterproof plug 32 needs to be pulled out so that the charging plug can be connected to the charging interface 43. In order to facilitate the pulling out of the waterproof plug 32, in this embodiment, the waterproof plug 32 is provided with a handle 34, and the handle 34 extends out of the bracket body 4. By pulling the part of the handle 34 extending out of the bracket body 4, the waterproof plug 32 can be easily pulled out. It should be noted that the handle 34 can be made of materials such as ropes and cloth strips; the handle 34 can also be made of hard materials such as metals and hard plastics. In this case, one end of the handle 34 is connected to the side of the waterproof plug 32 facing the external environment, and the other end of the handle 34 extends out of the bracket body 4.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the storage of the handle 34, in this embodiment, the handle 34 is made of a magnetic material (such as a ferrite material), and one end of the handle 34 is hingedly connected to the side of the waterproof plug 32 facing the external environment, and the bracket body 4 is provided with a magnet 45 that is attracted and connected to the other end of the handle 34. When charging is required, the end of the handle 34 that is attracted to the magnet 45 is pulled away to free it from the restraint of the magnet 45, and then the waterproof plug 32 is pulled out through the handle 34 to facilitate the insertion of the charging plug (such as Figure 3 After the waterproof plug 32 is pulled out, the handle 34 can be attracted to the magnet 45 to prevent the waterproof plug 32 from being lost (as shown). Figure 5 After charging is completed, the waterproof plug 32 is reinserted into the waterproof port 44, and the handle 34 is rotated so that the portion extending out of the bracket body 4 is attracted to the magnet 45 again, so that the handle 34 is stored (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown).

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to better indicate the charging process, in this embodiment, at least one LED light 46 is also provided on the circumference of the bracket body 4, and the LED light 46 is electrically connected to the power circuit board 31, and is used to remind the charging process. For example, when the power of the rechargeable battery 2 is less than a certain threshold, the LED light 46 flashes; during the charging process, the LED light 46 is always on. Further, in order to achieve more prompt functions, the LED light 46 is a two-color LED light 46 (such as a red and green LED light 46), which can be achieved through the control of the power circuit board 31: when the power of the rechargeable battery 2 is less than a certain threshold, the red light flashes; during the charging process, the green light flashes; after being fully charged, the green light is always on; after the charging plug is unplugged, the LED light 46 goes out.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that the bracket body 4 of the sight bracket 3 includes an upper bracket body 47 and a lower bracket body 48, and the upper bracket body 47 and the lower bracket body 48 are detachably connected, for example, by fasteners, the waterproof port 44 and the waterproof plug 32 are both arranged on the upper bracket body 47, the card slot 41 is arranged on the lower bracket body 48, and the battery compartment 42 includes an upper accommodating compartment 421 and a lower accommodating compartment 422 respectively arranged on the upper bracket body 47 and the lower bracket body 48, the power circuit board 31 is installed in the upper accommodating compartment 421, and the rechargeable battery 2 is installed in the lower accommodating compartment 422 after being electrically connected to the power circuit board 31. When the upper bracket body 47 and the lower bracket body 48 are connected, the upper accommodating compartment 421 covers the rechargeable battery 2, which can further stabilize the rechargeable battery 2 to prevent the battery from being displaced. The connection methods of the scope body 1 and the bracket body 4 are as follows:

[0041] Method 1

[0042] The mirror body 1 is fixedly connected to the upper bracket body 47, including the mirror body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 being fixedly connected by fasteners, or the mirror body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 being fixedly connected by welding, or the mirror body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 being connected by gluing, or the mirror body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 being integrally formed. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, for the internal red dot sight, since the length of the scope body 1 is short and the scope body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 are integrally formed, the installation time of the scope body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 can be saved, so it is preferred to adopt a structure in which the scope body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 are integrally formed; Figure 6 As shown, for the prism inverted image sight, since the length of the scope body 1 is relatively long, it is suitable to adopt a structure in which the scope body 1 and the upper bracket body 47 are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0043] Method 2

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the scope body 1 is fixedly connected to the lower bracket body 48, including the scope body 1 and the lower bracket body 48 being fixedly connected by fasteners, or by a structure of fasteners and adhesive combination connection, or the scope body 1 and the lower bracket body 48 being fixedly connected by welding. The connection method included in the second method is more suitable for sights with a relatively long scope body 1, such as prism inverted image sights.

[0045] It should be noted that a second sealing ring 35 is provided between the upper bracket body 47 and the lower bracket body 48 , and the second sealing ring 35 surrounds the battery compartment 42 to prevent moisture from entering the battery compartment 42 .

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. As long as the technical effects of the present invention are achieved by any same or similar means, they should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
