The utility model installs the laser rangefinder body in the entire optical system module through an adapter bracket during optical assembly, then installs the optical system module containing the laser rangefinder inside the housing, and installs the infrared detection sensing module and the circuit processing module inside the housing through structural parts. At the same time, the transmission cable of the laser rangefinder body is connected to the circuit processing module, so that the circuit processing module can receive the target distance information detected by the laser rangefinder body, which can reduce the inconvenience of optical axis debugging caused by the built-in rangefinder, and because the assembly method does not occupy the external space of the housing, the overall appearance of the sight is not affected, so the appearance and size can be well guaranteed, so that the overall design effect of the infrared thermal imager is better;

By optimizing the assembly process and the accuracy of components, the error in the assembly process can be effectively reduced, thereby simplifying the debugging process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0018] 3. Optical axis alignment is a crucial step in infrared thermal imagers, which directly affects the imaging quality and performance stability.
