Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aiming scope technology, specifically to an aiming scope structure that allows for switching between curved and straight fire. Background Technology
[0002] The tube-type weapon system can switch between indirect and direct fire modes, taking into account both indirect and direct fire capabilities, and reducing the number and weight of equipment carried by soldiers.
[0003] Electro-optical sights are used with tube-type weapons for individual soldier teams and are characterized by their light weight, small size, and ease of operation. An electro-optical sight typically consists of an electro-optical imaging module, a laser rangefinder module, an environmental parameter measurement sensor, an image processing module, an external display mechanism, a ballistic calculation module, a display module, an attitude sensor, and external interfaces.
[0004] Traditional electro-optical sights have poor adjustability and cannot simultaneously support both indirect and direct fire modes. Therefore, tube-type weapon systems typically contain two types of sights, using different electro-optical sights for different operating modes of the weapon system, which increases the time required for battlefield weapon preparation and the burden on individual soldiers.
[0005] In view of this, there is an urgent need for a sight that can switch between indirect and direct fire and a sight itself. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model solves the problem using the following technical structure.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A sight switching structure for curved and straight fire includes: a mounting base, a turbine, a worm gear, a connecting base, and a fixing component. The turbine and the worm gear are both disposed on one side of the mounting base and are engaged with each other.
[0009] The connecting seat is coaxially connected to the turbine, and the connecting seat is used to mount the sight.
[0010] The fastener is used to secure the mounting base to the weapon.
[0011] A ring-shaped dial is provided on one side of the mounting base, the turbine is coaxially disposed inside the dial, and one end of the worm extends to the outside of the dial.
[0012] A bushing is fitted on one side of the connecting seat, and the bushing is coaxially mounted on the dial.
[0013] A handwheel is provided at the suspension end of the worm gear.
[0014] The fastener includes a mounting bracket and a linear slide rail. The mounting bracket is disposed on the mounting base, and the linear slide rail is disposed on the weapon. The mounting bracket is engaged with the linear slide rail.
[0015] The card holder includes a fixed plate, a movable plate, a locking bolt, and a locking nut. The fixed plate is disposed on the mounting base, the locking bolt is disposed on the fixed plate, the movable plate is sleeved on the locking bolt, and the locking nut is disposed on the suspended end of the locking bolt and is threadedly connected to the locking bolt.
[0016] The fixed plate and the movable plate are respectively located on both sides of the linear slide rail.
[0017] Both the fixed plate and the movable plate are provided with slots, and the openings of the two slots are arranged opposite each other.
[0018] An attitude sensor is installed on the mounting base.
[0019] A sight, including the aforementioned sight-firing / direct-fire switching structure.
[0020] It also includes a mechanical level mounted on the sight.
[0021] The above-described structure of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0022] In use, the mounting base is fixed to the weapon's barrel using fasteners, and the sight is fixed to the connecting seat. At this time, the turbine's axis is horizontal. When the barrel weapon is used for direct fire, the worm gear is rotated to rotate the turbine, which in turn rotates the connecting seat until the sight is in a horizontal position, meeting the direct fire requirement of the barrel weapon. When the barrel weapon is used for indirect fire, the worm gear is rotated in the opposite direction to rotate the turbine, which in turn rotates the connecting seat until the sight is in an upward-tilted position, meeting the indirect fire requirement of the barrel weapon. This allows the sight to accommodate both direct and indirect fire modes, reducing battlefield weapon preparation time and the burden of carrying by individual soldiers. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0028] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.
[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0030] refer to Figure 1-3 The illustrated sight's indirect fire / direct fire switching structure includes: a mounting base 1, a turbine 2, a worm gear 3, a connecting seat 4, and a fixing component. Both the turbine 2 and the worm gear 3 are rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting base 1, and the turbine 2 and worm gear 3 are engaged. The connecting seat 4 is coaxially connected to the turbine 2. In use, the mounting base 1 is fixed to the weapon's barrel by the fixing component, and the sight is fixed to the connecting seat 4. At this time, the axis of the turbine 2 faces horizontally. When the barrel weapon is used for direct fire, rotating the worm gear 3 causes the turbine 2 to rotate, which in turn rotates the connecting seat 4 until the sight is in a horizontal position, meeting the direct fire requirement of the barrel weapon. When the barrel weapon is used for indirect fire, rotating the worm gear 3 in the opposite direction causes the turbine 2 to rotate, which in turn rotates the connecting seat 4 until the sight is in an upward-tilted position, meeting the indirect fire requirement of the barrel weapon. This allows the sight to simultaneously support both indirect and direct fire modes, reducing battlefield weapon preparation time and the burden on individual soldiers.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to facilitate quick angle adjustment of the scope, a ring-shaped dial 5 is provided on one side of the mounting base 1. The turbine 2 is coaxially set inside the dial 5, and one end of the worm gear 3 extends to the outside of the dial 5. That is to say, the position of the dial 5 is fixed. When the turbine 2 rotates, the observation point on the scope is compared with the scale on the dial 5 to accurately adjust the elevation angle of the scope, further reducing the battlefield weapon preparation time. In addition, in order to facilitate the rotation of the worm gear 3, a handwheel 7 is provided at the suspension end of the worm gear 3.
[0032] A further optimization is that a bushing is fitted on one side of the connecting seat 4, and the bushing is coaxially mounted on the dial 5. By setting the bushing on the connecting seat 4, the connecting seat 4 is supported while ensuring that the connecting seat 4 can rotate stably.
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the fixing component includes a mounting bracket and a linear slide rail 8. The mounting bracket is set on the mounting base 1, and the linear slide rail 8 is set on the weapon. The mounting bracket is secured to the linear slide rail 8. Specifically, the mounting bracket consists of a fixed plate 9, a movable plate 10, a locking bolt 11, and a locking nut 12. The fixed plate 9 is set on the mounting base 1, the locking bolt 11 is set on the fixed plate 9, the movable plate 10 is sleeved on the locking bolt 11, and the locking nut 12 is set on the suspended end of the locking bolt 11 and threadedly connected to it. The fixed plate 9 and the movable plate 10 are respectively set on both sides of the linear slide rail 8. Thus, during installation, the linear slide rail 8 is fixed to the weapon body. Tighten the locking nut 12 to increase the distance between the movable plate 10 and the fixed plate 9. Then, place the movable plate 10 and the fixed plate 9 on both sides of the linear slide rail 8. Then, tighten the locking nut 12 in the opposite direction to decrease the distance between the movable plate 10 and the fixed plate 9, thereby clamping them onto the linear slide rail 8. The purpose of this design is to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the scope on the weapon body and further improve the adjustability of the scope position. In order to improve the stability of the fixation, both the fixed plate 9 and the movable plate 10 are provided with slots 13. The openings of the two slots 13 are arranged opposite each other, and the scope is clamped onto both sides of the linear slide rail 8 through the two slots 13.
[0034] Further optimizations include, for example Figure 3 As shown, a wrench 14 is rotatably provided at the suspended end of the locking nut 12, which allows the locking nut 12 to be rotated more easily.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, an attitude sensor 6 is also installed on the mounting base 1. The angle result detected by the attitude sensor 6 is compared with the angle result detected by the attitude sensor inside the scope, and the angle value obtained by comparison is reported to the ballistic calculation module of the weapon.
[0036] Specifically, this utility model also provides a sight that applies the aforementioned sight's curved and direct fire switching structure, and provides two mechanical levels 15 on the sight, which are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal direction. Thus, during use, the state of the sight can be observed by looking at the two mechanical levels 15; at the same time, when the system is powered off, the mechanical levels 15 keep the sight's pitch and roll angles at zero, and the state of the sight can be observed by directly reading the scale 5.
[0037] In summary, during use, the mounting base 1 is fixed to the weapon's barrel using fasteners, and the sight is fixed to the connecting base 4. At this time, the axis of the turbine 2 is horizontal. When the barrel weapon is used for direct fire, the worm gear 3 is rotated to rotate the turbine 2, which in turn rotates the connecting base 4 until the sight is in a horizontal position, meeting the direct fire requirement of the barrel weapon. When the barrel weapon is used for indirect fire, the worm gear 3 is rotated in the opposite direction to rotate the turbine 2, which in turn rotates the connecting base 4 until the sight is in an upward-tilted position, meeting the indirect fire requirement of the barrel weapon. This allows the sight to simultaneously accommodate both direct and indirect fire modes, reducing battlefield weapon preparation time and the burden of carrying by individual soldiers.
[0038] This application is compatible with both the curved and straight firing modes of a dual-purpose tube weapon.
[0039] This application has a downgrade function, which can meet the operational needs of all weather and all time, without being limited by power supply;
[0040] This application is capable of firing at high angles, can meet the firing requirements of tube-type weapon systems at different angles, and is compatible with weapon systems with different firing angles;
[0041] This application features flexible installation, easy conversion, and simple operation;
[0042] This application features a design that integrates systems, is modular, miniaturized, low-power, easy to operate, and visual.
[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
