TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to binocular night vision device technical field, specifically is binocular night vision device of objective lens protection. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the night or low light conditions, in order to enhance the visual perception ability of observer, binocular night vision device is widely used in military, law enforcement, outdoor adventure and night driving and other fields. This kind of night vision device usually through the integration of advanced image enhancement technology or infrared sensing technology, so that the observer can clearly see the target in dim environment. However, although night vision device performs well in improving visual experience, its precise optical components, especially objective lens part, is extremely vulnerable to the damage of external environment, such as strong light irradiation, dust pollution and physical impact.
[0003] Traditional protection measures often rely on simple lens cover or protective cover, but these methods have many shortcomings. For example, lens cover is cumbersome in the case of needing to use night vision device frequently, and protective cover may hinder the test and internal state inspection of objective lens due to improper design. In addition, the lack of targeted light reduction measures also makes the objective lens vulnerable to irreversible damage when facing sudden strong light.
[0004] In addition, night vision device needs to magnify the existing light to achieve a clearer and brighter night vision picture, so its objective lens is usually designed with a very large optical light quantity, and the aperture usually reaches F1.2 or even F1.0 or more. The larger the aperture, the larger the depth of field, that is, the lens with larger light quantity will blur the background when focusing on the object in the near place. The night vision device without objective lens protection cover cannot be started in the daytime because the strong light will not pass through the internal lens of the objective lens to magnify and focus the light to the first intensifier tube in the body, resulting in damage or even scrap of the optical elements such as image intensifier tube. This results in that the user has no way to test the night vision device without objective lens protection in the daytime bright light. The existing technical solution is to open a very small hole on the completely closed lens cover to minimize the aperture (dispersed light) to protect the optical elements. However, the biggest problem and defect of this solution is that the small hole according to the solution will make the original aperture of the objective lens of the night vision device smaller, so the depth of field becomes deeper, that is, the image that should be blurred in the background after focusing on the object in the near place becomes clear in the near place and the far place. The biggest problem of this is that the user cannot test and pre-adjust the focus point of the night vision device in the daytime, for example, if the user wants to pre-adjust the focus of the night vision device to infinity in the daytime, but because of the defect of the existing solution, the user can see clearly in the near place and the far place in the daytime, so it is impossible to accurately adjust the focus to infinity.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for an eyepiece protection solution that effectively protects the objective lens of the night vision goggles without hindering their daily use and testing. Such a solution needs to be able to withstand strong light exposure, prevent dust and moisture from entering, while maintaining the visibility of the internal state of the objective lens in order to perform the necessary maintenance and checks. SUMMARY
[0006] To this end, the utility model provides a kind of objective lens protection binocular night vision goggles to solve the above-mentioned problems in prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a kind of objective lens protection binocular night vision goggles, including frame, at least one rotationally connected in the lower part of frame night vision goggles, and objective lens sheath is fixed in the objective lens outside of night vision goggles, the objective lens sheath is built-in with light reduction lens.
[0008] Further, one end of the night vision goggles is provided as an objective lens, and the other end is provided as an eyepiece.
[0009] Further, the objective lens sheath includes an end cap, a clasp, a bracket, a through hole and a light reduction lens.
[0010] Further, the end cap is sleeved outside the objective lens, and a plurality of anti-skid grooves are formed around the outer surface of the end cap, and a plurality of clamping grooves matched with the groove structure of the outer surface of the objective lens are formed around the inner surface of the end cap.
[0011] Further, the clasp is clamped and fixed outside the night vision goggles, the bracket is connected between the end cap and the clasp, and the bracket is provided in the shape of a Chinese character "j" to avoid the protruding part of the objective lens.
[0012] Further, the through hole is preformed in the middle of the end cap, and the light reduction lens is installed and fixed inside the through hole to prevent strong light from damaging the objective lens and allow direct observation of the internal state of the objective lens through the through hole.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The objective lens protection binocular night vision goggles effectively solve the problem of insufficient protection of the objective lens of the traditional night vision goggles by adopting the objective lens sheath design with built-in light reduction lens, significantly improving the durability and safety of the night vision goggles. This design not only effectively prevents direct exposure of the objective lens to strong light, reducing the risk of damage to optical elements caused by strong light, but also allows testing and internal state observation of the objective lens without disassembling the sheath, greatly improving the maintenance convenience and practicality of the night vision goggles.
[0015] In addition, another advantage of the light reduction sheet and the enlarged opening is that the physical principle essentially does not completely reduce the aperture of the lens, but reduces the amount of light entering under the condition of ensuring the original aperture of the lens (or reducing the aperture by a little bit), which not only protects the optical elements of the night vision device from the strong light, but also retains the relationship between the focal point and the depth of field to a greater extent, so that the user can also test the focusing and pre-focusing of the night vision device in the daytime, thereby facilitating the operation at night.
