Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser ranging, in particular to an optical projection system and a laser ranging device. Background Art

[0002] A laser rangefinder is mainly an instrument for accurately measuring the distance to a target using a laser. When the laser rangefinder works, it emits a very thin laser beam towards the target, and a photoelectric element receives the laser beam reflected by the target. A timer measures the time from the emission to the reception of the laser beam, and calculates the distance from the observer to the target. However, the optical projection path of the existing laser ranging device usually uses a reflection optical path to transmit to the eyepiece imaging surface, and the reflection optical path must use a total reflection mirror and a mirror bracket, resulting in a complex internal structure and a complex optical design. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an optical projection system and a laser ranging device for the problem that the projection path of the existing laser ranging device uses a reflection optical path to transmit to the eyepiece imaging surface, and the reflection optical path must use a total reflection mirror and a mirror bracket, resulting in a complex internal structure and a complex optical design.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0005] Provide an optical projection system, including a color screen, a lens assembly and a light guide assembly arranged in sequence. The color screen emits light linearly towards the light guide assembly, and the color screen, the lens assembly and the light guide assembly are located on the same direct light path. The lens assembly is located between the color screen and the light guide assembly, and the plane where the lens assembly is located is set at a right angle to the light emission path of the color screen. The lens group is used to align and focus the light beam emitted by the color screen and transmit it to the light guide assembly, so that the light guide assembly transmits the light emitted by the color screen to the imaging surface of the eyepiece.

[0006] Further, the light guide assembly includes a roof prism and a cemented prism assembly bonded to the roof prism.

[0007] Further, the cemented prism assembly includes a first cemented prism bonded to the roof prism and a second cemented prism corresponding to the lens assembly.

[0008] Further, the lens assembly is sequentially provided with a first lens, a second lens and a third lens along the direction of the light emission path of the color screen.

[0009] Further, the first lens, the second lens and the third lens are sequentially detachably assembled together.

[0010] According to the optical projection system of the above embodiments of the present utility model, since the color screen emits light linearly towards the light guide component, and the color screen, the lens component and the light guide component are located on the same direct light path. In this way, in this embodiment, because the optical projection system adopts a direct light path, the light emitted by the color screen is directly projected onto the light guide component, so that the light guide component can transmit it to the imaging surface of the eyepiece, and then image to the human eye. Compared with the existing technology where the projection path enters through a reflection light path, the optical design is simplified, and the total reflection mirror and the mirror bracket necessary for the reflection light path are omitted, thereby saving material costs and effectively solving the problem that the optical projection path of the existing laser ranging device uses a reflection light path to transmit to the imaging surface of the eyepiece, and the reflection light path must use a total reflection mirror and a mirror bracket, resulting in a complex internal structure and a complex optical design.

The color screen 106 emits light linearly in the direction of the light guide assembly 108, and the color screen 106, the lens assembly 109, and the light guide assembly 108 are located on the same direct light path. The lens assembly 109 is located between the color screen 106 and the light guide assembly 108, and the plane where the lens assembly 109 is located is perpendicular to the light emission path of the color screen 106. The lens group 109 is used to align and focus the light beam emitted by the color screen 106 and transmit it to the light guide assembly 108, so that the light guide assembly 108 transmits the light emitted by the color screen 106 to the imaging surface of the eyepiece 105. In this way, in this embodiment, since the optical projection system adopts a direct light path, the light emitted by the color screen 106 is directly projected onto the light guide assembly 109, so that the light guide assembly 109 transmits it to the imaging surface of the eyepiece 105, and then images to the human eye 200. Compared with the prior art where the projection path uses a reflection light path to enter, the optical design is simplified, and the total reflection mirror and the mirror bracket necessary for using the reflection light path are omitted, thereby saving the material cost and effectively solving the problem that the optical projection path of the existing laser ranging device uses a reflection light path to transmit to the imaging surface of the eyepiece, and the reflection light path must use a total reflection mirror and a mirror bracket, resulting in a complex internal structure and a complex optical design.

[0024] According to the optical projection system of the above embodiment of the present invention, since the color screen emits light linearly towards the light guide assembly, and the color screen, the lens assembly, and the light guide assembly eyepiece are located on the same direct light path. In this way, in this embodiment, because the optical projection system adopts a direct light path, the light output of the color screen is directly projected onto the light guide assembly, so that the light guide assembly transmits it to the imaging surface of the eyepiece, and then images to the human eye. Compared with the projection path in the prior art that enters through a reflection light path, the optical design is simplified, and the total reflection mirror and the mirror bracket necessary for the reflection light path are omitted, thereby saving the material cost and effectively solving the problem that the optical projection path of the existing laser ranging device uses a reflection light path to transmit to the imaging surface of the eyepiece, and the reflection light path must use a total reflection mirror and a mirror bracket, resulting in a complex internal structure and a complex optical design.
