[0033] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] The ratio of the focal length of the first lens 3 to the focal length of the entire lens satisfies the following relationship:
[0037] 0.3 < |f1 / f| < 1
[0038] Where f is the focal length of the entire lens, and f1 is the focal length of the first lens, which is 20.7mm;
[0039] The first lens 3 uses a glass lens, which improves the environmental adaptability of the eyepiece;
[0040] A second entrance pupil 2 is provided on the other side of the first lens 3, and a first entrance pupil 1 is provided on the other side of the second entrance pupil 2;
[0041] The center thickness of the cemented positive lens is 6.1 mm for the biconvex lens and 1.1 mm for the biconcave lens; the materials of the cemented positive lens are heavy flint glass and heavy lanthanum flint glass, respectively.
[0042] The central thickness of the plastic aspheric negative lens is 2.2 mm; the material of the plastic aspheric negative lens is PMMA, E48R, K26R, F52R, APL5014DP, PAL5514ML, ep5000, etc., which have excellent optical performance and the density is generally not greater than 1.25 g / cm3, obviously smaller than the density of glass, so that the weight of the ocular optical system is significantly reduced, and the batch molding cost is much lower than that of glass lenses;
[0043] The aspheric coefficients of the plastic aspheric negative lens are A=-1.2292151E-5, B=2.7596927-10, C=-3.2466247E-11, and D=7.7502617E-14.
[0044] The diameters of the first entrance pupil 1 and the second entrance pupil 2 are both between 7.5 mm and 9.5 mm.
[0045] As shown in Figures 2-3 , the abscissa represents the spatial frequency of line pairs per millimeter, and the ordinate represents the MTF value. Figure 2 It can be seen that the embodiment exhibits better contrast within the spatial frequency of 30 lp / mm in the central region, meeting the requirements of human eye observation.
[0046] As shown in Figure 4 , the maximum distortion is only 2.2%.
[0047] The 4 lenses of the double-exit-pupil ocular optical system of the application have a total of 7 surfaces, and the curvature radius, lens center thickness, lens center distance, and lens refractive index meet the following conditions:
[0048] Surface No. Surface Type R (radius of curvature) D (center distance) Nd (refractive index) 1 Stop Infinite 40(20) 2 Spherical 14.37 6.1 1.88 3 Spherical -38.04 1.1 1.96 4 Spherical 59.05 6.44 5 Aspherical -23.11 2.2 1.54 6 Aspherical 9.84 1.23 7 Spherical 12.39 3.3 1.65 8 Spherical -137.17 8.7 9 Spherical Infinite

[0053] It should be noted that the two surfaces of the plastic lens can be aspheric surfaces, and appropriate adjustments can be made according to the parameters of the system, the material of the plastic lens, and the difficulty of processing.
[0054] In summary, the double-exit-pupil ocular optical system provided by the application has the following beneficial effects:
[0055] First, the first lens is made of glass, which improves the eyepiece's environmental adaptability.
[0056] Secondly, the second lens uses a plastic lens, which improves the image quality of the eyepiece and reduces the overall weight of the eyepiece. The mass production molding cost is far lower than that of glass lenses.
[0057] Third, the eyepiece of the present invention has two exit pupil distances. The first exit pupil distance is greater than 20mm and the exit pupil diameter is greater than 12mm, which can be used as a front-mounted aiming eyepiece. The second exit pupil distance is greater than 40mm and the exit pupil diameter is greater than 6mm, which can meet the high eyepoint requirements of a gun aiming eyepiece.
[0058] Fourth, the entire system uses only 4 lenses, and its structure is simple and easy to construct.
[0059] like Figures 5-8 As shown, the optical system is located inside the eyepiece tube 9. An eyepiece frame 8 is located on the outside of the eyepiece tube 9, and a lens mount 7 is located on the outside of the eyepiece frame 8.

The locking rods 14 are used in conjunction with the slots 15. When it is necessary to adjust the distance of the eyepiece tube 9, the insertion rod 12 is disengaged from the inside of the insertion hole 10, and then the eyepiece frame 8 is moved inside the lens base 7 so that the eyepiece frame 8 is moved to the appropriate position. Then the insertion rod 12 is inserted into the inside of the insertion hole 10, and at the same time, the two sets of locking rods 14 are locked into the corresponding slots 15, so that the eyepiece frame 8 is stably locked into the inside of the lens base 7.
[0060] like Figures 7-8 As shown, a fixing bolt 16 is provided at the other end of the eyepiece frame 8, and a positioning hole 17 is provided on the outer wall of the eyepiece tube 9. Multiple sets of positioning holes 17 are equally spaced on the outer wall of the eyepiece tube 9.

At the same time, by rotating the fixing bolt 16, the fixing bolt 16 can be disengaged from the corresponding positioning hole 17, and the eyepiece tube 9 can be adjusted to a suitable position inside the eyepiece frame 8. Then, the fixing bolt 16 is engaged inside the corresponding positioning hole 17, which achieves a more convenient and stable locking effect. It also facilitates the disassembly of the lens base 7, eyepiece frame 8, and eyepiece tube 9, and makes it convenient to replace and repair the lens base 7, eyepiece frame 8, and eyepiece tube 9, and adjust the diopter. The overall structure is simple, and the assembly, disassembly, and adjustment operations are all convenient.
