A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplified operation. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the multifunctional astronomical telescope provided in this embodiment includes a telescope assembly 1, an eyepiece 2, an image sensor 3, a display screen 4 and a switch 5; the eyepiece 2 and the image sensor 3 are both installed in the telescope assembly 1; the display screen 4 is communicatively connected with the image sensor 3; the switch 5 is arranged in the light channel 12 of the telescope assembly 1, and the switch 5 is used to switch the propagation path of the light so that the light is propagated to the eyepiece 2 or the image sensor 3.

[0040] If multiple users need to observe celestial bodies at the same time, the light is transmitted to the image sensor 3 and the image is displayed on the display screen 4. If only one user needs to observe the celestial body, the light can be transmitted to the eyepiece 2 or to the image sensor 3 and the image is displayed on the display screen 4.

[0041] It is a prior art that the display screen 4 uses the image sensor 3 to obtain the image signal, and the specific communication principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0042] Optionally, one of the eyepiece 2 and the image sensor 3 is the first piece, and the other is the second piece. The telescope assembly 1 is provided with a light-transmitting window 11. The switch 5 includes a reflector 51. The reflector 51 is rotatably arranged in the light channel 12. The rotation center line of the reflector 51 is located on the side of the light-transmitting window 11 away from the lens of the telescope assembly 1. The first piece is arranged on the light-transmitting window 11, and the second piece is arranged on the light channel 12 and is located on the side of the reflector 51 away from the lens of the telescope assembly 1. The reflector 51 can switch between a first state of blocking the light channel 12 and a second state of blocking the light-transmitting window 11. When the reflector 51 is in the first state, the reflector 51 is tilted to face the light-transmitting window 11, and the reflector 51 reflects light to the first piece located in the light-transmitting window 11. When the reflector 51 is in the second state, the light in the light channel 12 is emitted toward the second piece.

[0043] In this embodiment, the eyepiece 2 is disposed in the light-transmitting window 11 , and the image sensor 3 is disposed in the light channel 12 and located on a side of the reflector 51 away from the lens of the telescope assembly 1 .

[0044] When it is necessary to use the eyepiece 2 to observe celestial bodies, the reflector 51 is rotated so that the reflector 51 faces the light-transmitting window 11. For example, the reflecting plane of the reflector 51 forms a 45-degree angle with the central axis of the telescope assembly 1. At this time, the reflecting plane of the reflector 51 forms a 45-degree angle with the central axis of the light-transmitting window 11. The light passes through the lens of the telescope assembly 1 and enters the light channel 12. Due to the blocking effect of the reflector 51, the light fails to illuminate the image sensor 3. The reflector 51 reflects all the light onto the eyepiece 2. On nights with weak light, the light can be completely reflected by the reflector 51 to the eyepiece 2, which can improve clarity and facilitate user observation. When it is necessary to display the celestial image on the display screen 4, the reflector 51 is rotated and blocked in the light-transmitting window 11. The central axis of the reflector 51 coincides with the central axis of the light-transmitting window 11, and the central axis of the reflector 51 is perpendicular to the central axis of the telescope assembly 1. The light passes through the lens of the telescope assembly 1 and enters the light channel 12. The reflector 51 does not block the propagation of the light, and the light is irradiated to the image sensor 3, and the display screen 4 can display the celestial image.

[0045] In some other embodiments, the eyepiece 2 is disposed in the light channel 12 and located on a side of the reflector 51 away from the lens of the telescope assembly 1 , and the image sensor 3 is disposed in the light-transmitting window 11 .

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the reflector 51 is in the first state, the reflective plane of the reflector 51 forms an angle of 45 degrees with the central axis of the light-transmitting window 11 , and the light passes through the lens of the telescope assembly 1 and enters the light channel 12 .

[0047] like Figure 4As shown, the reflector 51 is in the second state, the central axis of the reflector 51 is perpendicular to the central axis of the telescope assembly 1 , and the light directly irradiates the image sensor 3 in the light channel 12 .

[0048] The reflector 51 blocking the light-transmitting window 11 referred to in this embodiment does not specifically mean sealing and blocking the light-transmitting window 11. When the reflector 51 completely blocks the light-transmitting window 11, light cannot pass through the light-transmitting window 11. Similarly, when the reflector 51 completely blocks the image sensor 3, so that light cannot illuminate the image sensor 3, it can be regarded as the reflector 51 blocking the light channel 12.

[0049] In this embodiment, the switch 5 further includes a rotating rod 52, which is rotatably mounted on the telescope assembly 1. One end of the rotating rod 52 is located outside the telescope assembly 1, and the other end of the rotating rod 52 extends into the light channel 12 and is connected to the reflector 51. In this embodiment, the user can rotate the reflector 51 via the rotating rod 52, which is convenient and low-cost.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the switch 5 includes a motor, which is in transmission connection with the reflector 51 , and the motor drives the reflector 51 to rotate.

[0051] Optionally, the telescope assembly 1 includes a mounting sleeve 13 and a telescope body 14, the mounting sleeve 13 is arranged at one end of the telescope body 14, the rotating rod 52 is rotatably installed on the mounting sleeve 13, the light-transmitting window 11 is opened in the mounting sleeve 13, and the eyepiece 2 and the image sensor 3 are both arranged in the mounting sleeve 13.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mounting sleeve 13 is fixedly mounted on the end of the telescope body 14 away from the lens. For example, the mounting sleeve 13 is fixedly bonded to the end of the telescope body 14 away from the lens by glue, or the mounting sleeve 13 is mounted on the periphery of the telescope body 14 and then a locking member such as a screw is used to lock the mounting sleeve 13 to the telescope body 14.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the mounting sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to an end of the telescope body 14 away from the lens. When the mounting sleeve 13 is rotated, the distance from the reflector 51 to the lens of the telescope body 14 can be adjusted.

[0054] In some embodiments, the eyepiece 2 is inserted into the mounting sleeve 13 and a locking member such as a screw is used to lock the eyepiece 2 to the mounting sleeve 3. The distance between the eyepiece 2 and the reflector 51 cannot be adjusted and no refocusing is required. When a better eyepiece 2 is needed, the locking member can be removed.

[0055] In some other embodiments, the eyepiece 2 is inserted into the mounting sleeve 13 and glue is used to bond the eyepiece 2 and the mounting sleeve 13 together. The distance between the eyepiece 2 and the reflector 51 cannot be adjusted and refocusing is not required.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the eyepiece 2 is threadedly connected to the mounting sleeve 13 , and the distance between the eyepiece 2 and the reflector 51 can be adjusted according to actual needs, which also facilitates the replacement of the eyepiece 2 .

[0057] Optionally, the multifunctional astronomical telescope further comprises a tripod 6, and the telescope assembly 1 is rotatably mounted on the tripod 6. In this embodiment, the telescope body 14 is rotatably mounted on the tripod 6, so that the user can adjust the use angle of the telescope body 14 conveniently.

[0058] Optionally, the multifunctional astronomical telescope further includes a finderscope 7 , which is mounted on the telescope assembly 1 , and a central axis of the finderscope 7 is arranged parallel to a central axis of the telescope assembly 1 .

[0059] Optionally, the display screen 4 is rotatably mounted on the telescope assembly 1 .

[0060] Optionally, the telescope assembly 1 further includes a focusing component 15 .

[0061] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
