Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aiming scope technology, and specifically relates to a multi-functional adjustment mechanism for an electronic aiming scope. Background Technology

[0002] Sights play a crucial role in numerous fields, including hunting, competitive shooting, military operations, laser aiming, and instrument calibration. With rapid technological advancements, electronic sights (infrared sights, digital sights, etc., all within the same context) have emerged in the market, meeting diverse needs with their unique features such as memory, storage, networking, target highlighting, variable reticle, and automatic aiming. However, while different types of electronic sights have their own functional focuses, they all suffer from problems such as a single focusing mechanism, inconvenient operation and control, and limited layout. In white light sights, the focusing mechanism is generally located in the center (focusing has evolved from rotating at the lens end to center focusing, also known as side focusing). Users accustomed to traditional white light sights find it difficult to adapt to the operating habits of current electronic sights, resulting in a poor user experience and low satisfaction. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-functional adjustment mechanism for electronic sights that can simultaneously achieve axial focusing of the electronic sight core and adjustment of the electronic menu and functions of the entire scope. This multi-functional adjustment mechanism is compatible with the operating habits of traditional white light sights, thereby solving the problems of existing electronic sight focusing mechanisms being singular, inconvenient to operate, and having poor user experience.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a multi-functional adjustment mechanism for an electronic sight, including a focusing group and an encoder group; the focusing group is connected to the middle part of the electronic sight body and is drivenly connected to the electronic aiming mechanism inside the electronic sight; the encoder group is connected to the outside of the focusing group.

[0005] According to the above scheme, the focusing group includes a curve wheel, a focusing handwheel, and a guide pin; the curve wheel is rotatably connected to the lens body, and the focusing handwheel is fixed to the outer periphery of the curve wheel; a curve groove is provided at the bottom of the curve wheel, one end of the guide pin is located in the curve groove, and the other end passes through the oval hole of the lens body and is fixed to the optical axis adjustment frame; the electronic sight mechanism is fixed inside the optical axis adjustment frame.

[0006] According to the above scheme, the axial direction of the electronic sight mechanism is fixed by the mechanism pressure ring, and its radial direction is fixed by multiple stop screws.

[0007] According to the above scheme, a spring is provided between the optical axis adjustment frame and the mirror body.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the curve wheel is axially limited by the curve wheel pressure ring, and the curve wheel pressure ring is connected to the lens body; the focusing handwheel is fixed to the curve wheel by multiple first countersunk screws.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the curved wheel is hollow, and an adapter is provided in the hollow part. One end of the adapter is connected to the mirror body, and the other end is connected to the encoder group.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the encoder assembly includes an encoder, an encoder mount, an encoder handwheel, and a rubber button; the encoder mount is connected to the focusing assembly, the encoder is fixed in the encoder mount, the encoder handwheel is sleeved on the top of the encoder mount, and the rubber button is located on the top of the encoder handwheel; the encoder handwheel is radially rotatably connected to the control rod of the encoder, and the rubber button is axially movable connected to the control rod.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the encoder assembly includes a limiting ring and an encoder pressure ring; the limiting ring is connected to the periphery of the control lever, and the encoder handwheel is fixed to the limiting ring by multiple second countersunk screws; the encoder pressure ring is fixed to the encoder seat to axially limit the limiting ring.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the encoder is fixed to the encoder mount by a cylindrical head screw.

[0013] The present invention also provides an electronic sight, including the multi-functional adjustment mechanism of the electronic sight described above.

[0014] Beneficial effects This invention integrates the focusing group and encoder group in the middle of the scope body and works in conjunction with the electronic sight mechanism. On the one hand, the focusing group arranged in the middle can follow the traditional white light sight side focusing operation logic, reducing the user's operating threshold and improving the user experience. On the other hand, the encoder group integrated on the outside can realize electronic function control by relying on the same middle mounting position, without the need for additional scattered control components. The overall structure is compact, and optical focusing and electronic parameter adjustment can be easily completed by relying on only the two sets of components integrated in the middle, taking into account both operating habits and overall space utilization.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0018] See Figs. 1-3 This embodiment provides a multi-functional adjustment mechanism for an electronic sight, including a focusing group and an encoder group 19; the focusing group is connected to the middle of the scope body 1 of the electronic sight and is drivenly connected to the electronic aiming mechanism 5 inside the electronic sight; the encoder group 19 is connected to the outside of the focusing group.

[0019] In this embodiment, the focusing group and the encoder 19 group are both located on the top surface of the middle part of the lens body 1. In other embodiments of the present invention, the focusing group and the encoder 19 group can also be set separately, for example, installed on different mounting surfaces in the middle part of the lens body 1, and can also independently complete their respective adjustment functions.

[0020] Furthermore, the focusing assembly includes a curve wheel 11, a focusing handwheel 12, and a guide pin 9; the curve wheel 11 is rotatably connected to the lens body 1, and the focusing handwheel 12 is fixed to the outer periphery of the curve wheel 11; the bottom of the curve wheel 11 is provided with a curved groove, one end of the guide pin 9 is located in the curved groove, and the other end passes through the oval hole of the lens body 1 and is fixed to the optical axis adjustment frame 2; the electronic sight mechanism 5 is fixed inside the optical axis adjustment frame 2.

[0021] Specifically, the focusing principle of the focusing group is as follows: rotating the focusing handwheel 12 drives the curve wheel 11 to rotate, and the curve wheel 11 drives the guide pin 9 to move through the curve groove. Since the guide pin 9 is limited by the oval hole, it can only move along the axis of the lens body 1. Therefore, the guide pin 9 will drive the optical axis adjustment frame 2 to move back and forth along the axis of the lens body 1, thus realizing the focusing of the electronic sight mechanism 5.

[0022] The focusing assembly also includes an anti-rotation pin 8 and a pressure plate. The anti-rotation pin 8 is connected to the optical axis adjustment frame 2 and is used to prevent the electronic sight mechanism 5 from rotating. The pressure plate is used to press the cable of the electronic sight mechanism 5 and is fixed with screws.

[0023] Furthermore, the axial direction of the electronic sight mechanism 5 is fixed by the mechanism pressure ring 7, and its radial direction is fixed by multiple stop screws 6.

[0024] Specifically, this embodiment is provided with a total of 4 stop screws 6, and the vertical position of the electronic sight mechanism 5 can be adjusted by adjusting the screws 6 in and out.

[0025] Furthermore, a spring 4 is provided between the optical axis adjustment frame 2 and the mirror body 1.

[0026] Specifically, spring 4 is used to eliminate the backlash phenomenon during the focusing process.

[0027] Furthermore, the curve wheel 11 is axially limited by the curve wheel retaining ring 10, and the curve wheel retaining ring 10 is connected to the lens body 1; the focusing handwheel 12 is fixed to the curve wheel 11 by multiple first countersunk screws 13.

[0028] Furthermore, the curved wheel 11 is hollow, and an adapter 14 is provided in the hollow part. One end of the adapter 14 is connected to the mirror body 1, and the other end is connected to the encoder 19 group.

[0029] Specifically, the adapter 14 is connected to the mirror body 1 and the encoder mount 17 by threads or screws.

[0030] Furthermore, the encoder 19 group includes an encoder 19, an encoder mount 17, an encoder handwheel 22, and a rubber button 23; the encoder mount 17 is connected to the focusing group, the encoder 19 is fixed in the encoder mount 17, the encoder handwheel 22 is sleeved on the top of the encoder mount 17, and the rubber button 23 is disposed on the top of the encoder handwheel 22; the encoder handwheel 22 is radially rotatably connected to the control rod of the encoder 19, and the rubber button 23 is axially movable connected to the control rod.

[0031] Specifically, the encoder mount 17 and the adapter mount 14 are connected by threads. In other embodiments of the invention, they can also be connected by at least two threads and fixed with adhesive. The adapter mount 14 has a hollow structure for the signal line of the encoder 19 to pass through.

[0032] The rubber button 23 is fixed to the encoder handwheel 22 by adhesive.

[0033] Furthermore, the encoder 19 group includes a limiting ring 20 and an encoder pressure ring 21; the limiting ring 20 is connected to the periphery of the control lever, and the encoder handwheel 22 is fixed to the limiting ring 20 by multiple second countersunk screws 27 (3 in this embodiment); the encoder pressure ring 21 is fixed to the encoder seat 17 to axially limit the limiting ring 20.

[0034] Specifically, when the encoder handwheel 22 rotates, it drives the limit ring 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the control lever to rotate. When the rubber button 23 is pressed down, it drives the control lever to move downward. By rotating and pressing the control lever (rotation and pressing can be performed separately without interference), the menu control function and electronic function adjustment of the electronic sight are realized.

[0035] Furthermore, the encoder 19 is fixed to the encoder base 17 by a cylindrical head screw 26.

[0036] The focusing mechanism of this embodiment also includes multiple sealing devices, specifically: a first sealing ring 3 is provided between the optical axis adjustment frame 2 and the lens body 1; a second sealing ring 15 is provided between the adapter 14 and the focusing handwheel 12; a third sealing ring 16 is provided between the curve wheel 11 and the lens body 1; a fourth sealing ring 18 is provided between the encoder 19 and the encoder base 17; and a fifth sealing ring 24 and a sixth sealing ring 25 are provided between the encoder base 17 and the encoder handwheel 22. The present invention also provides an electronic sight, including the multi-functional adjustment mechanism of the electronic sight described above.

[0037] It should be noted that, depending on the implementation needs, the various steps / components described in this application can be broken down into more steps / components, or two or more steps / components or parts of the operation of steps / components can be combined into new steps / components to achieve the purpose of this invention.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
