In addition, the diopter adjustment ring and the eyepiece ring rotate together, affecting the customer's experience.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An eyepiece structure with a non-rotating eyecup includes a lens locking ring, an eyepiece tube, a diopter adjustment ring, several lenses, an eyecup ring, and a flange tube. A boss retaining ring is provided at one end of the eyepiece tube cavity, and a lens locking ring is installed inside the other end of the eyepiece tube cavity, located on the image plane side. Several lenses are placed inside the eyepiece tube cavity, with their ends respectively pressed by the boss retaining ring and the lens locking ring. An eyecup ring is fitted outside one end of the eyepiece tube, and a flange tube is fitted outside the other end of the eyepiece tube. The eyepiece tube can move left and right within the flange tube. A diopter adjustment ring is fitted in the middle of the eyepiece tube. A first external thread section is provided on the flange tube near the image plane side, and a second external thread section is provided on the side of the flange tube near the diopter adjustment ring.
