[0024] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] In this embodiment, a laser rangefinder includes: a sealed housing 100, a rangefinder body 200, a display panel 300, and a control panel assembly 400. The rangefinder body 200, the display panel 300, and the control panel assembly 400 are all disposed inside the sealed housing 100. The display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are both electrically connected to the rangefinder body 200, and the display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are located on the same side of the sealed housing 100.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the sealed housing 100 has a hollow interior for mounting and accommodating components such as the rangefinder body 200, display panel 300, and control panel assembly 400. This encapsulates the rangefinder body 200, display panel 300, and control panel assembly 400, protecting the internal electronic components. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the rangefinder body 200 can be any commercially available miniature laser rangefinder. It should be noted that the improvements in the laser rangefinder in this embodiment lie in the structure of the sealed housing 100, display panel 300, and control panel assembly 400, not the rangefinder body 200. Therefore, any existing rangefinder body 200 can be used, and the structure of the rangefinder body 200 is not limited. The sealed housing 100 is provided with a through hole for transmitting laser signals, facilitating the rangefinder body 200 to transmit and receive laser signals, thereby measuring the distance of an object. The through hole can be covered with a transparent protective plate to play a sealing and protective role without affecting the laser signal, so as to prevent external liquids or dust from entering the rangefinder body 200 and affecting the use effect and service life of the rangefinder body 200. Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are both arranged on the same side of the sealed housing 100. The control panel assembly 400 is used to control the rangefinder body 200 to perform measurement work, and the display panel 300 displays relevant data such as distance. The display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are both arranged on the same side of the sealed housing 100, which facilitates real-time observation of the data on the display panel 300 when operating the control panel assembly 400, thereby improving the convenience and operating efficiency during distance measurement and ensuring the accuracy of the distance measurement results.

[0028] Optionally, in this embodiment, the control panel assembly 400 includes a capacitive sensing touch button, and the capacitive sensing touch button is electrically connected to the rangefinder body 200 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the control panel assembly uses capacitive sensing touch buttons. Capacitive sensing touch buttons can penetrate more than 8mm of insulating material shells (glass, plastic, etc.) and accurately detect the effective touch of fingers. It also ensures that the sensitivity, stability, reliability, etc. of the product will not change due to changes in environmental conditions or long-term use, and has waterproof and strong anti-interference capabilities. Since the capacitive sensing touch buttons can be triggered through the protective shell to achieve the control effect, the entire control panel assembly 400 can be completely sealed inside the sealed shell 100 to avoid the formation of gaps, thereby ensuring the waterproof and dustproof effects of the sealed shell 100.

[0030] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the sealed housing 100 includes a fixed bottom box 101, a protective cover 102 and a cover fixing frame 103, the rangefinder body 200, the display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are all installed inside the fixed bottom box 101, the protective cover 102 is covered on the display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400, and the protective cover 102 is installed on the fixed bottom box 101 via the cover fixing frame 103.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed bottom box 101 is a square or rectangular box with an open top and a hollow interior. The open top of the fixed bottom box 101 facilitates installation of the rangefinder body 200, display panel 300, and control panel assembly 400 within the fixed bottom box 101. During installation, the display panel 300 and control panel assembly 400 face the open side of the fixed bottom box 101. A protective cover 102 is provided over the opening of the fixed bottom box 101. On the one hand, the protective cover 102 can seal the fixed bottom box 101, ensuring the stability of the internal electronic components. On the other hand, the protective cover 102 can protect the display panel 300 and control panel assembly 400, preventing damage to the display surface and control panel assembly 400 from external impacts, thereby increasing the service life of the laser rangefinder. The protective cover 102 is connected to the fixed bottom box 101 via a cover fixing bracket 103. The cover fixing bracket 103 ensures the stability of the protective cover 102 and improves the sealing performance of the connection between the cover fixing bracket 103 and the fixed bottom box 101.

[0032] In this embodiment, the protective cover 102 may be made of a transparent material, such as glass or transparent plastic, so that the operator can easily observe the data on the display panel 300 through the protective cover 102 .

[0033] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, a sealing assembly 500 is provided at the connection between the fixed bottom box 101 and the cover plate fixing frame 103 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixed base box 101 and the protective cover 102 are manufactured separately, reducing manufacturing complexity and facilitating the placement of the rangefinder body 200, display panel 300, and control panel assembly 400 within the fixed base box 101. Consequently, gaps exist between the fixed base box 101, the protective cover 102, and the cover holder 103, impairing the sealing effect and allowing dust or liquid to enter the sealed housing 100, shortening the service life of the laser rangefinder. Therefore, in this embodiment, a sealing assembly 500 is provided at the junction of the fixed base box 101 and the cover holder 103 to enhance the sealing effect between the fixed base box 101 and the cover holder 103 and ensure the sealing of the interior of the sealed housing 100.

[0035] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the sealing assembly 500 includes a sealing protrusion 501 arranged on the periphery of the fixed bottom box 101 and a sealing groove 502 opened along the periphery of the cover plate fixing frame 103, and the sealing protrusion 501 is clamped in the sealing groove 502.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed bottom box 101 is provided with an annular sealing protrusion 501 along the periphery of the opening, and at the same time, an annular sealing groove 502 is correspondingly opened on the cover plate fixing frame 103. When the cover plate fixing frame 103 is connected and installed with the fixed bottom box 101, the sealing protrusion is clamped in the sealing groove 502 to play a sealing role. The sealing protrusion 501 cooperates with the sealing groove 502 to improve the connection strength of the cover plate fixing member while playing a sealing role, and avoid deformation and formation of gaps at the edge of the cover plate fixing member, which affects the sealing effect or the use effect. It can be understood that the edges of the cover plate fixing frame 103 and the fixed bottom box 101 are easily deformed after being subjected to external impact or extrusion. The sealing groove 502 and the sealing protrusion 501 are provided so that the connection between the cover plate fixing frame 103 and the fixed bottom box 101 intersects with each other to form a whole, thereby improving the connection strength between the cover plate fixing frame 103 and the fixed bottom box 101.

[0037] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the sealing assembly 500 further includes a sealing ring, which is disposed in the sealing groove 502 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the sealing ring can be made of a soft material such as rubber or silicone. Its shape matches the shape of the sealing groove 502, allowing it to be snapped into place within the groove. When the sealing protrusion 501 is snapped into the groove 502, the edge of the sealing protrusion 501 abuts the sealing ring, enhancing the seal between the protrusion 501 and the groove 502. The sealing ring is directly snapped into the groove 502 and can be removed for maintenance and replacement as needed. As is understood, sealing rings are susceptible to aging and damage, which can affect the sealing performance. In such cases, the sealing ring can be replaced, thereby extending the lifespan of the true laser rangefinder.

[0039] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the control panel assembly 400 is disposed between the display panel 300 and the lower side wall of the sealed housing 100 .

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the control panel assembly 400 is disposed in the lower half of the sealed housing 100, while the display panel 300 is disposed in the upper half of the sealed housing 100. By arranging the display panel 300 in the upper half and the control panel assembly 400 in the lower half, it is convenient for the user to observe the display panel 300 while operating the control panel assembly 400. This structure is similar to that of existing mobile phones and remote controls, conforming to people's daily operating habits and improving the user comfort of the laser rangefinder.

[0041] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the distance between the control panel assembly 400 and the lower side wall of the sealed housing 100 is 20-60 mm.

[0042] In this embodiment, the height of the control panel assembly 400 above the sealed housing 100 affects operator comfort. It is understood that when operating a laser rangefinder, an operator typically grips the sealed housing 100 and then uses their thumb to touch the control panel assembly 400 to control the device. Therefore, if the control panel assembly 400 is too high or too low, the operator may be unable to touch the control panel assembly 400 or experience inconvenience during operation. In this embodiment, the distance between the control panel assembly 400 and the lower sidewall of the sealed housing 100 is 20-60 mm, which is an appropriate height for easy operation and improved operator comfort.

[0043] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, an indicator light is provided at the control panel assembly 400 , and the indicator light is used to display the position of the control panel.

[0044] In this embodiment, the control panel assembly 400 completely covers the underside of the protective cover 102, and there are no protruding keys. This makes it difficult for the operator to determine the specific location of the control panel assembly or the capacitive touch buttons, especially in dark environments, where it is often difficult to accurately touch the control buttons. Therefore, indicator lights are provided on the control panel assembly to indicate the capacitive touch buttons, making it easier for the operator to accurately touch the buttons and improve operational convenience.

[0045] Optionally, in some implementations of this embodiment, the laser rangefinder further includes a storage battery, and the storage battery is electrically connected to the rangefinder body 200 .

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the laser rangefinder is a small, portable laser rangefinder suitable for travel or daily use. A storage battery provides power to the rangefinder, eliminating the need for wires during measurement. This makes it easy to use in any environment, such as in the wild where power is unavailable. Without the restraint of wires, measurements are made more comfortable and easier to carry.

[0047] In summary, the present invention provides a laser rangefinder, which includes: a sealed housing 100, a rangefinder body 200, a display panel 300, and a control panel assembly 400. The rangefinder body 200, the display panel 300, and the control panel assembly 400 are all disposed within the sealed housing 100. The display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are both electrically connected to the rangefinder body 200, and the display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are located on the same side of the sealed housing 100. The display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are both disposed on the same side of the sealed housing 100. The control panel assembly 400 is used to operate the rangefinder body 200 to perform measurement operations, while the display panel 300 displays relevant data such as distance. The display panel 300 and the control panel assembly 400 are both disposed on the same side of the sealed housing 100. This facilitates real-time observation of data on the display panel 300 when operating the control panel assembly 400, thereby improving convenience and operating efficiency during distance measurement and ensuring the accuracy of the distance measurement results.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
