[0003] On December 12, 2023, the inventor of this application filed a patent application for "An Infrared Thermal Imaging Precision Target", application number 202323373557.3. This infrared thermal imaging precision target combines a target made of a good thermal conductor with a self-heating material. The heat released by the chemical reaction between the self-heating material and oxygen is conducted to the target with the target shape. A hole is cut at the aiming point, so that the entire target exhibits high temperature characteristics and the aiming point exhibits low temperature characteristics, thus providing a training device for accurately indicating the target in infrared thermal imaging aiming and shooting.

[0004] On December 12, 2023, the inventors of this application filed a patent application for "A technical implementation method of an infrared thermal imaging precision target", application number 202311697296.2. This patent was the first to propose a method for reusing an infrared thermal imaging precision target by temporarily replacing the self-heating material, which was the initial prototype of this application.

Summary of the Invention

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Comparison Appendix Figure 1 , 2 , Figure 1 This is an exploded view of one of the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a perspective view of one of the embodiments of this application after combination. From Figure 1 , Figure 2As can be seen, the reusable self-heating infrared thermal imaging precision target consists of a target 1, self-heating material packs 2, and a target plate 3. The target 1 is made of a material that is a good conductor of heat. In one embodiment, the target 1 is shaped like a chest ring target, with a circular hole cut into the central 10-ring area to form a 10-ring area hole-type aiming point 5. The target 1 is attached to the front of the target plate 3, which is made of a material that is a poor conductor of heat. In front of the target 1, there are three self-heating material packs 2 arranged in an isosceles triangle at the top, bottom left, and bottom right, forming a symmetrical shape for easy aiming. Obviously, since the self-heating material packs 2 are attached to the target 1, and the target 1 is made of a material that is a good conductor of heat, the heat released by the self-heating material packs 2 through oxidation will be quickly absorbed by the target 1 and conducted to the entire chest ring target surface, forming a high-temperature chest ring target with a temperature higher than the ambient temperature, thus making it detectable by the shooter using an infrared thermal imaging sight. Meanwhile, because the 10-ring bullseye of the chest ring target is cut into a circular hole, heat cannot be conducted to this 10-ring bullseye area. Therefore, it is displayed as aiming point 5 in the low-temperature zone in the infrared thermal imaging sight, thus providing the shooter with a precise thermal infrared chest ring target with a 10-ring bullseye.

[0024] It is obvious that this approach is also applicable to targets of other shapes, such as half-body targets, head targets, perforation targets, hostage targets, and so on.

[0025] Similarly, in this embodiment, the 10-ring center of the chest target is cut into a circular hole. Obviously, it can also be cut into any shape that can be used to indicate the aiming point, such as "×", "+", "⊕", "△", "◇", "v", "☆".

[0026] Furthermore, in comparison with the appendix Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a perspective view of a second embodiment of this application. (Comparison) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 are basically the same. The difference is that in Embodiment 2, target ring lines 4 are added to the target surface of target 1. These target ring lines 4 are lines or numbers directly printed on target 1 to identify the ring number, so as to determine the position of the bullet impact point for the shooter and calculate the shooting score.

[0027] It is evident that in the above embodiments one and two, since the self-heating material pack 2 is completely exposed, it is easy to replace. When the self-heating material pack 2 is insufficient in generating heat, we can simply remove it from the target 1 and replace it with a new self-heating material pack 2, thereby achieving multiple reusable uses of the entire target.

[0028] Furthermore, in comparison with the appendix Figure 4 , 5 , Figure 4This is an exploded view of embodiment three of this application. Figure 5 This is a perspective view of the combined components of Embodiment 3 of this application. Since printing the target ring lines 4 on the target surface of the target 1, a material with good thermal conductivity, in Embodiment 2 is relatively expensive, we can also use the method of pasting target paper 6 onto the target 1 to determine the position of the bullet impact point and calculate the shooting score for the shooter. Obviously, directly printing the target paper 6 is much cheaper. (Comparison) Figure 4 , Figure 5 It can be seen that a layer of target paper 6 is added between the target 1 and the self-heating material pack 2. That is, the target paper 6 is first attached to the target 1, and then the self-heating material pack 2 is attached to the target paper 6. Since the target paper 6 is relatively thin, it does not affect the transfer of heat from the self-heating material pack 2 to the target 1, nor does it affect the thermal imaging effect of the target 1 in the infrared thermal imaging sight.

[0029] While the target paper 6 reduces costs, a new problem arises: the self-heating material package 2, being adhered to the target paper 6 with adhesive, is difficult to remove and can damage the target paper 6. This new problem can be solved by the following methods:

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the target paper 6 has area markings 7 at the locations where the self-heating material pack 2 is attached. The size of the area markings 7 is the same as the size of the self-heating material pack 2, and they are arranged in an isosceles triangle on the target paper 6, positioned at the top, bottom left, and bottom right. We can either coat the entire surface of the target paper 6, or the area marked 7, with silicone oil or other surface-smoothing materials to make the surface of the target paper 6, or the surface within the area marked 7, smoother and reduce tension. This prevents the adhesive on the self-heating material pack 2 from sticking to the target paper 6, ensuring that the adhesive is easily separated, thus facilitating the replacement of the self-heating material pack 2. This is existing, well-known technology and easily implemented, so it will not be elaborated further here.

[0031] It is also obvious that the surface of the target 1 in the aforementioned embodiments one and two can also be coated with silicone oil or other smoothing materials on the entire surface of the target 1 or at the location where the self-heating material pack 2 is pasted, so as to make the surface of the target 1 or the location where the self-heating material pack 2 is pasted smoother and reduce the tension, so as to prevent the self-heating material pack 2 from sticking to the target 1, and ensure that the self-heating material pack 2 can be easily separated, thereby making it easy to replace the self-heating material pack 2.

[0032] The target 1 of this application is made of a good thermal conductor. Considering the thermal conductivity and material price of various good thermal conductors, we can preferably choose an aluminum plate to make the target 1.

[0033] The target plate 3 of this application is made of a material that is a poor conductor of heat. Considering the performance and price of various materials, we should preferably choose EVA material, rubber material, or PVC material, etc.

[0034] The reusable self-heating infrared thermal imaging precision target described in this application has significant features and advantages such as no need for external power supply, no need for technical support, no need for maintenance, convenient and quick use, and low cost. It effectively solves the problem of lack of shooting training targets for infrared thermal imaging sights and fills the gap in military and police training.
