[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] Refer to the attached Figure 1 、 2 , Figure 1 It is the exploded view of one of the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 It is the three-dimensional view after combination of one of the embodiments of the present application. From Figure 1 、 Figure 2As can be seen, the reusable self-heating infrared thermal imaging precision target consists of a target 1, a self-heating material pack 2, and a target board 3. The target 1 is made of a good thermal conductor material. In one of the embodiments, the target 1 in the shape of a chest ring target is adopted, and the central 10-ring area is cut into a circular hole, forming a hole-type aiming point 5 in the 10-ring area; the target 1 is pasted on the front of the target board 3, and the target board 3 is made of a poor thermal conductor material; in front of the target 1, there are 3 self-heating material packs 2 arranged in an isosceles triangle configuration directly above, lower left, and lower right, thus forming a left-right symmetric shape for easy shooting aiming. Obviously, since the self-heating material pack 2 is pasted on the target 1 and the target 1 is made of a good thermal conductor material, the heat released by the self-heating material pack 2 through the oxidation reaction will be quickly absorbed by the target 1 and conducted to the entire chest ring target surface, forming a high-temperature chest ring target with a temperature higher than the ambient temperature, which can thus be detected by a shooter using an infrared thermal imaging sight. At the same time, since the 10-ring bullseye of the chest ring target is cut into a circular hole, the heat cannot be conducted to this 10-ring bullseye area, so it is displayed as an aiming point 5 in the low-temperature area in the infrared thermal imaging sight, thus providing a shooter with a precise thermal infrared chest ring target for shooting with a 10-ring bullseye.

[0024] Obviously, this solution is clearly also applicable to other-shaped targets, such as half-body targets, head targets, perforation targets, hostage targets, and so on.

[0025] Similarly, in this embodiment, the 10-ring bullseye of the chest ring target is cut into a circular hole. Obviously, it can also be cut into any shape such as "×", "+", "⊕", "△", "◇", "v", "☆", etc. that can be used to indicate the aiming point.

[0026] Further, referring to the appendix Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a perspective view of the second embodiment of the present application. Comparing Figure 2 with Figure 3 it can be seen that the first embodiment and the second embodiment are basically the same. The difference is that in the second embodiment, on the target surface of the target 1, target ring lines 4 are added. These target ring lines 4 are lines or numbers directly printed on the target 1 to identify the ring numbers, so as to enable the shooter to determine the position of the impact point and calculate the shooting score.

[0027] Obviously: in the above first and second embodiments, since the self-heating material pack 2 is completely exposed, it is very easy to replace. When the heat generation of the self-heating material pack 2 is insufficient, we can directly remove it from the target 1 and replace it with a new self-heating material pack 2, thus realizing the multiple reuse of the entire target.

[0028] Further, referring to the appendix Figure 4 , 5 , Figure 4This is an exploded view of the third embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the assembled embodiment of the present application. Since the cost of printing the target ring line 4 on the target surface of the target 1 made of a good thermal conductor material in the second embodiment is relatively high, we can also use the method of sticking target paper 6 on the target 1 to help the shooter determine the location of the impact point and calculate the shooting score. Obviously, the cost of directly printing the target paper 6 is very low. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 It can be seen that a layer of target paper 6 is added between the target 1 and the self-heating material package 2, that is, the target paper 6 is first pasted on the target 1, and then the self-heating material package 2 is pasted on the target paper 6. Since the target paper 6 is relatively thin, it does not affect the transfer of heat from the self-heating material package 2 to the target 1, nor does it affect the thermal imaging effect of the target 1 in the infrared thermal imaging sight.

[0029] Although the target paper 6 reduces the cost, a new problem is that the self-heating material package 2 is attached to the target paper 6 by a self-adhesive sticker, which makes it difficult to remove and may damage the target paper 6. This new problem can be solved by the following methods:

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the target paper 6 has an area mark 7 at the location where the self-heating material package 2 is pasted. The size of the area mark 7 is consistent with the size of the self-heating material package 2, and is arranged in an isosceles triangle at the top, bottom left, and bottom right of the target paper 6. We can apply silicone oil or other surface-smoothing materials on the entire surface of the target paper 6, or in the area of the area mark 7, to make the surface of the target paper 6, or the surface within the area of the area mark 7, smoother and reduce tension, so as to prevent the self-adhesive adhesive on the self-heating material package 2 from sticking to the target paper 6, and ensure that the self-adhesive adhesive is easy to separate, thereby conveniently achieving the replacement of the self-heating material package 2. This is an existing well-known technology and is also easy to implement, so it will not be further described here.

[0031] It is also obvious that the surface of the target 1 in the first and second embodiments mentioned above can also be coated with silicone oil or other surface-smoothing materials on the entire surface of the target 1, or on the position where the self-heating material package 2 is pasted, so that the surface of the target 1, or the surface of the position where the self-heating material package 2 is pasted, is smoother and the tension is reduced to prevent the self-adhesive adhesive on the self-heating material package 2 from sticking to the target 1, ensuring that the self-adhesive adhesive is easy to separate, thereby conveniently realizing the replacement of the self-heating material package 2.

[0032] The target 1 of the present application is made of a good thermal conductor material. Considering the thermal conductivity and material price of various good thermal conductor materials, we can preferably choose an aluminum plate to make the target 1.

[0033] The target board 3 of the present application is made of a material with poor thermal conductivity. Considering the performance and price of various materials, we should preferably select EVA material, rubber material, PVC material, etc.

[0034] The reusable self-heating infrared thermal imaging precision target of the present application has remarkable characteristics and advantages such as no need for external power supply, no need for technical support, no need for maintenance, convenient and fast use, and low cost. It effectively solves the problem that there is no shooting training target for infrared thermal imaging sights, filling the gap in military and police training.
