Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sights, and in particular relates to a planar key structure with red and green dual-color lighting on a sight reticle. Background Art

[0002] In order to increase the use range of white light sights in different lighting environments, the reticle of the white light sight must be illuminated with a red or green LED in low light conditions so that the reticle of the sight presents clear red or green reticle dots and lines so that the user can see the reticle dots and lines clearly and perform normal aiming and shooting.

[0003] Most of the reticle lighting systems of the sight use a single red or single green color for reticle illumination, and some use red and green dual colors to switch illumination according to the needs of the user; the control switch of the reticle lighting system of the sight has two types: mechanical knob and button; the reticle lighting system of the sight is mostly installed and fixed on the left plane of the saddle of the sight body where the ballistic adjustment system is located or installed on the sight focusing mechanism on the left plane of the saddle of the sight body, and some are also installed and fixed on the eyepiece barrel at the eyepiece end of the sight; the reticle lighting system of the sight is equipped with a battery and a circuit board; the reticle lighting system of the sight must also be able to increase or decrease the brightness of the reticle lighting in multiple gears according to different usage environments;

[0004] Reticle illumination systems using mechanical knobs rely on fixed brushes to connect different gears on a circuit board that rotates with the knob to control the on / off switching of the illumination system, as well as the adjustment of brightness and the switching of illumination colors. Users experience a distinct shifting sensation when rotating the knob. However, these mechanical knob-based reticle illumination systems have three drawbacks. First, users often forget to turn the knob off, which can easily drain the battery. Second, there is no memory function, as users typically have their own preferred brightness settings, requiring readjustment each time. Third, the limited number of brightness levels is particularly evident in mechanical knob-based reticle illumination systems that switch between red and green colors.

[0005] Currently, most push-button reticle illumination systems on the market are designed to automatically shut off after a period of inactivity and also have a memory function so that the user's brightness is restored to the last used brightness the next time they turn it on. There are two installation methods for push-button reticle illumination systems. One is mounted on the eyepiece barrel at the eyepiece end of the scope and features two flat pushbutton switches that individually control the on / off switching of the red and green LEDs and the cyclic increase / decrease of the brightness. These two buttons also individually control the on / off switching and cyclic increase / decrease of the brightness of a single-color LED. The other is mounted on the left side of the scope's saddle, where the ballistic adjustment system is located. A flat pushbutton switch is located in the middle of the end face of the cylindrical illumination adjustment system to control the on / off switching of the single-color LED and the cyclic increase / decrease of the brightness. Cyclic brightness adjustment is somewhat inconvenient for the user, as if the desired brightness is exceeded, the user must cycle to the desired brightness. Of course, this structure can also be programmed on the circuit board to use a single flat pushbutton switch to control the switching of the two-color illumination and the cyclic increase / decrease of the brightness. However, such a product is very complicated and inconvenient to use.

[0006] Currently, there is no dual-color illuminated flat button structure installed on the left side of the saddle where the trajectory adjustment system of the scope is located on the market. This dual-color lighting structure requires two button switches to control the switching of red and green colors and to control the increase and decrease of brightness respectively. The main difficulty of this structure is that the layout direction of the two buttons can only be horizontal or vertical. Although the middle flat button switch on the market does not have the problem of installation direction, it also has obvious shortcomings. Summary of the Invention
