Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of golf rangefinder technology, specifically a golf rangefinder with a front-mounted indicator light. Background Technology
[0002] When using a golf rangefinder, users can automatically calculate the impact of slope on shot distance using the SLOPE mode. However, in official competitions, SLOPE mode is disabled, hence the existence of a SLOPE mode switch and an indicator light to identify the SLOPE disabled state. Since users typically grip the rangefinder with their right hand, obscuring the right side, the existing SLOPE status indicator light is installed on the left side for referees to observe. However, some users are left-handed, which would cause the SLOPE status indicator light to be obscured, preventing referees from seeing it; this poses a potential threat to fair adjudication in golf rangefinder use.
[0003] In addition, to facilitate users in recording and viewing the data observed through the eyepiece, a display screen that can show the data observed through the eyepiece is often set on the side of the golf rangefinder; however, for users who do not use their left or right hand, the screen may be blocked by the side, making it inconvenient to directly obtain the data.
[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a golf rangefinder with a front-mounted indicator light. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a golf rangefinder with a front-mounted indicator light. The front end of the rangefinder body is equipped with a circumferentially arranged ring-shaped indicator light strip, facilitating clear observation of the ring-shaped indicator light strip by referees and observers. A display screen showing eyepiece observation data is located on the lower rear side of the rangefinder body, improving convenience. This solves the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a golf rangefinder with a front-mounted indicator light, including a golf rangefinder body. The front end of the golf rangefinder body is provided with a ring-shaped indicator light strip along the circumference, which makes it easy for referees and observers to clearly observe the ring-shaped indicator light strip of the golf rangefinder and thus know whether the SLOPE mode is off. The lower rear end of the golf rangefinder body is provided with a display screen for displaying eyepiece observation data. When the user observes through the eyepiece, they only need to tilt their eyes downwards to see the eyepiece observation data, which greatly improves convenience. There is no need to rotate the wrist to make the side of the golf rangefinder body face the user in order to view the eyepiece observation data.
[0007] Preferably, when the golf rangefinder is placed horizontally, the angle between the display screen and the vertical direction is 20°-50°. After multiple tests, this angle range is more conducive to clearly observing the eyepiece observation data on the display screen. In addition, the display screen is located below the eyepiece, and the design of the eyepiece obstruction and tilt angle avoids reflection interference when viewing the eyepiece observation data.
[0008] Preferably, the housing of the golf rangefinder body includes a middle tube shell, a front end cover, and a rear end cover, with the front end cover and the rear end cover respectively installed at the front and rear opening ends of the middle tube shell.
[0009] Preferably, the front cover is provided with an annular light groove along the axial direction, and the annular indicator light strip is matched and installed in the annular light groove. The annular indicator light strip is located between the front cover and the middle tube shell, ensuring that the annular indicator light strip can be observed by the referee on all 360° circumferences of the front end of the golf rangefinder body.
[0010] Preferably, the lower side of the rear cover is provided with an inclined surface, the angle between the inclined surface and the vertical direction is 20°-50°, the display screen is embedded in the rear cover, and the display screen is located in the inclined surface, which facilitates the tilt and stable installation of the display screen.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. The front end of the golf rangefinder body of this utility model is provided with a ring-shaped indicator light strip along the circumference, which makes it easy for referees and observers to clearly observe the ring-shaped indicator light strip of the golf rangefinder and thus know whether the SLOPE mode is turned off; the lower rear end of the golf rangefinder body is provided with a display screen to display the eyepiece observation data; when the user observes through the eyepiece, he only needs to tilt his eyes downward to see the eyepiece observation data, which greatly improves convenience.
[0013] 2. The display screen of this utility model is located below the eyepiece. The design of the eyepiece's obstruction and tilt angle avoids glare interference when viewing the data observed through the eyepiece. Attached Figure Description
