[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] See Figures 1-3 A handheld infrared thermal imager with a large-capacity battery, low power consumption, and long battery life includes a side cover 3, a top cover 7 mounted on the top of the side cover 3, an infrared imaging processor 14 installed inside the side cover 3, an infrared lens barrel 1 at one end of the infrared imaging processor 14, an infrared lens 11 at the end of the infrared lens barrel 1, the infrared lens 11 being connected to a lens protective ring 8, a lens adjustment ring 9 for adjusting the infrared lens 11 being provided outside the lens protective ring 8, a rangefinder lens barrel 2 being provided below the lens protective ring 8, a rangefinder lens 12 being installed inside the rangefinder lens barrel 2, an eyepiece bracket 6 being provided at the other end of the infrared imaging processor 14, an eyepiece body 13 being installed inside the eyepiece bracket 6, an eyepiece inner cover 5 being provided inside the eyepiece body 13, an eyepiece aperture ring 4 being installed at the end of the eyepiece inner cover 5, and a ring-shaped side cover 3 being provided outside the eyepiece aperture ring 4.

[0020] See Figures 1-3 The bottom of the side cover 3 is equipped with a Picatinny rail 15. The side cover 3 and the Picatinny rail 15 are detachably fixed together by screws. This arrangement makes it easy to fix the device to the required equipment by means of the Picatinny rail 15 when needed, which improves the flexibility and stability of the device.

[0021] See Figures 1-3 The side cover 3 and the top cover 7 have heat dissipation grooves formed on their surfaces. This design makes it easier to increase the contact area between the side cover 3 and the top cover 7 and the air, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the side cover 3 and the top cover 7. This allows the heat generated by the infrared imaging processor 14 inside the side cover 3 and the top cover 7 to be quickly dissipated during operation, preventing heat from accumulating inside the infrared imaging processor 14 and causing malfunctions.

[0022] See Figure 3 The infrared lens barrel 1 is provided with a lens cover 10. The lens cover 10 and the lens protection ring 8 are fastened together by friction. This arrangement can provide dust and water protection for the infrared lens 11 when the device is not in use, and prevent the infrared lens 11 from getting dirty.

[0023] See Figure 3The lens cap 10 and the lens protective ring 8 are integrally formed at one end. This design can prevent the lens cap 10 from being lost and ensure the stability of the lens cap 10 and the lens protective ring 8 when they are fastened together.

[0024] See Figure 3 The infrared imaging processor 14 integrates an 18650 battery, which has the advantages of high energy density, long cycle life and wide application adaptability, and can effectively improve the endurance of this device in field operations.

[0025] Working principle: When using this device, the user holds the side cover 3 with one hand and places their eye against the eyepiece aperture 4. The eyepiece aperture 4 provides light protection and prevents glare for the user's eyes. At the same time, the user turns the lens adjustment ring 9 with the other hand to adjust the focus of the infrared lens 11 and the rangefinder lens 12, performing infrared thermal imaging processing on the desired location. The information collected by the infrared lens 11 and the rangefinder lens 12 is fed back to the infrared imaging processor 14 for processing and then displayed on the eyepiece body 13 for easy observation by the user.
