[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monocular telescope technology, specifically a monocular telescope with a protective structure. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, telescopes are a commonly used tool for long-distance observation, especially in outdoor environments. Monoculars are a type of telescope that uses a single-tube structure. As a visual optical instrument for observing distant objects, they can magnify distant objects by a certain magnification, resulting in a larger image in the image space. This makes objects that are normally invisible or indistinguishable to the naked eye become clear and discernible. Monoculars are an indispensable tool in astronomical and ground-based observation.
[0003] To protect the objective lens of a monocular telescope, a lens cover is often installed on the lens section. Existing monocular lens covers are mostly attached to the lens via a strap, resulting in poor aesthetics and causing the cover to sway during lens adjustments, hindering equipment use. Furthermore, existing monocular telescopes often only possess a physical imaging structure and cannot store observational images digitally, limiting their functionality. Therefore, this paper proposes a monocular telescope with a protective structure. Utility Model Content

Figure 1 As shown, the first magnetic block 13 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the lens section of the telescope body 1, and the second magnetic block 14 is fixedly fitted and installed on the lower end cap side of the objective lens cover 12. After being folded up for storage, the second magnetic block 14 and the first magnetic block 13 are magnetically attached and connected. After being opened, the objective lens cover 12 can be kept in a flat open state and stably attached to the upper part of the lens through the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic block 13 and the second magnetic block 14. The objective lens cover 12 will not swing or shake with the movement of the lens, which will hinder the operation of the equipment. Compared with the traditional hanging installation structure, it has better storage aesthetics. In order to improve the stability of the objective lens cover 12 when closed, an adsorption iron block is provided on the lens port side of the telescope body 1. After being closed, the objective lens cover 12 can be stably closed and limited by the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic block 14 and the adsorption iron block.
[0034] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: During use, the telescope body 1 is connected and installed to the tripod 2. Then, the tripod 2 is unfolded to support the telescope body 1. Next, the objective lens cover 12 is opened by flipping it open. After the objective lens cover 12 is opened to a certain angle, it is pulled down to connect the support shaft 16 with the upper part of the elongated slot 15. Then, the objective lens cover 12 is flipped further until it is in the attached position. Figure 3 In the open state shown, the second magnet 14 on the upper part of the objective lens cover 12 is aligned and connected with the first magnet 13 on the upper part of the lens of the telescope body 1. The objective lens cover 12 is stably attracted and limited by reverse magnetic pole contact, completing the opening and closing operation of the objective lens cover 12. Initially, the eyepiece 6 is in the imaging docking state. Then, the telescope body 1 is aligned with the object being observed, and the imaging focal length of the telescope is adjusted by turning the adjustment knob 4. During physical imaging, the user observes distant objects through the eyepiece 6. When taking a picture, the docking position of the lens assembly is adjusted by rotating the switching tube base 5. After switching, the adjustment and positioning are completed when the spring protrusion 11 clicks. At this time, the electronic eyepiece 7 is in the imaging docking position. The image can be previewed and the scene can be selected and photographed by connecting the electronic eyepiece 7 to the mobile phone, thus completing the digital viewfinder operation. After use, flip the objective lens cover 12 to the downward tilt position, and then push the objective lens cover 12 up to connect the support shaft 16 with the lower part of the long slot 15. Push and press to align and fit the rubber ring side of the objective lens cover 12 with the opening of the lens. At the same time, the second magnet 14 and the iron block at the bottom of the lens are attracted to achieve stable closing and limiting of the objective lens cover 12. Store the telescope body 1 and the tripod 2 to complete the operation.
[0035] In summary, this telescope adopts a dual-mode imaging structure of physical and digital imaging. A right-angle reflecting prism is installed on the eyepiece mounting side of the telescope body 1, and the observation eyepiece 6 and electronic eyepiece 7 are connected and installed through the switching tube base 5. During use, the docking positions of the observation eyepiece 6 and electronic eyepiece 7 can be switched by rotating them, thereby realizing the switching between physical and digital imaging modes. The structure is simple and easy to operate, allowing the telescope to quickly switch between physical and digital imaging modes, which greatly improves the functionality of the device. Furthermore, it adopts a flip-up, retractable objective lens cover 12. The objective lens cover 12 is connected and installed using a flip-up block with a long slot 15 and a fixed-axis support column 16, allowing the objective lens cover 12 to be opened at a large angle. The opening of the objective lens cover 12 is limited by a magnetic structure. After opening, the objective lens cover 12 can be kept in a flat open state and stably fixed to the upper part of the lens by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic block 13 and the second magnetic block 14. The objective lens cover 12 will not swing or shake with the movement of the lens, thus not hindering the operation of the equipment.
