Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-6 As shown, a night vision device eyepiece adjustment device includes a night vision device body 101. The night vision device body 101 has an electronic component for adjusting parameters, which is the prior art. Objective lenses 102 and adjustment blocks 103 are respectively provided at both ends of the night vision device body 101. An eyepiece 104 is provided inside the adjustment block 103. An eyecup 105 is installed on the side of the adjustment block 103 away from the night vision device body 101. A scale ring 106 is fixedly installed on the outside of the adjustment block 103. The number and angle of the scale lines on the surface of the scale ring 106 are adapted to the through hole 309. The through hole 309 and the pin 310 cooperate to realize the sliding limit of the eyepiece adjustment ring 301.

[0028] A protective mechanism 200 is installed on the side of the objective lens 102 away from the night vision device body 101 to prevent damage to the objective lens 102. The adjustment block 103 is equipped with a moving mechanism 300 for adjusting the position of the eyepiece 104. This mechanism works with the scale ring 106 to precisely change the distance difference between the eyepiece 104 and the user's eye. Before using the eyepiece adjustment device of the night vision device, check whether the night vision device can be used normally. Then, adjust and fix the eyepiece 104 through the moving mechanism 300 to facilitate the adjustment of the clarity and put the night vision device into the ready-to-use state.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective mechanism 200 includes a mounting plate 201 disposed on the outside of the objective lens 102. A plug-in interface is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 201. The size and style of the plug-in interface are adapted to the size and style of the plug 205. The protective plate 202 is sleeved on the outside of the objective lens 102 to facilitate the disassembly of the protective plate 202. The protective plate 202 is made of a relatively rigid material and plays a protective role. A transparent protective sheet 203 is fixedly installed inside the protective plate 202 to prevent damage to the lens. A cover 204 is hinged to the top of the protective plate 202 to prevent dust from adhering to the surface of the objective lens 102 when it is not in use and affecting its use. A plug 205 is fixedly disposed at the top of the protective plate 202 and near the plug-in interface. One end of the plug 205 is inserted into the plug-in interface and connected with a bolt to facilitate the disassembly of the protective plate 202 and extend the life of the objective lens 102.

[0030] Among them, such as Figures 2-6 As shown, the moving mechanism 300 includes an eyepiece adjusting ring 301 rotatably connected to the adjusting block 103. A chamber 302 is formed inside the adjusting block 103. A gear ring 303 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the eyepiece adjusting ring 301. A gear 304 is meshed on the inner side of the gear ring 303. One end of the gear 304's rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chamber 302, and the other end of the gear 304's rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a screw 305. The end of the screw 305 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chamber 302, and a sliding thread is provided on the outer side of the screw 305. Block 306 and slider 306 are fixedly installed on the outside of eyepiece 104. The screw drive structure of gear 304 and screw 305 is combined with guide rod 307 to ensure that eyepiece 104 can move smoothly without deviation, which is suitable for different user needs. The bottom of eyepiece 104 is provided with a guide component for pulling slider 306 to move. The eyepiece adjustment ring 301 is provided with a fixing component on the side near the night vision device body 101, which effectively prevents the position of eyepiece 104 from changing due to external collision, pressing or vibration, and improves the reliability of field use.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the guide assembly includes a guide rod 307 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chamber 302, and a slider 306 slidably connected to the guide rod 307, which guides the eyepiece 104 and prevents the slider 306 from shifting during use, thus avoiding jamming.

[0032] Among them, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a rotating ring 308 fixedly disposed on both sides of the eyepiece adjustment ring 301. The rotating ring 308 has several through holes 309 evenly distributed on its surface. A pin 310 is installed inside the through hole 309 at the top. The pin 310 is connected to the adjustment block 103 by a spring to prevent the pin 310 from being lost. The spring also enables the pin 310 to automatically return to its original position.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the scale on the surface of the scale ring 106 is matched with the position of the through hole 309, and the spacing of the through holes 309 matches the scale of the scale ring 106 to avoid adjustment errors. The position and number of through holes 309 are restricted to improve the overall usability of the structure. The number of scale ring 106 and through holes 309 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the eyepiece adjustment ring 301 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture on the surface of the eyepiece adjustment ring 301 can be distinguished by color, which makes it possible to perform zeroing operation of the scale line of the eyepiece adjustment ring 301, reducing the threshold of use for beginners. The function of the anti-slip texture is to increase the contact area between the user and the eyepiece adjustment ring 301, improve the friction effect, and prevent slippage. Example

[0035] The difference from Example 1 is that, as in Example 2, ... Figure 4 As shown, the bottom end of the cover 204 and the bottom end of the protective plate 202 are fixed by magnetic attraction. The cover 204 is closed by magnetic attraction to prevent dust from entering and to provide double protection when not in use. Other methods can also be selected according to actual needs to meet the fixing requirements of the cover 204 and the protective plate 202.

[0036] In use, the user rotates the eyepiece adjustment ring 301, causing the inner wall gear ring 303 to rotate. The gear ring 303 drives the gear 304 to mesh and transmit power, which in turn drives the screw 305 to rotate, causing the threaded slider 306 to move linearly along the guide rod 307, thereby pushing the eyepiece 104 to adjust its position back and forth. The scale ring 106 engages with the through hole 309, allowing the user to observe the scale. When the specified position is reached, the pin 310 is inserted into the through hole 309 of the rotating ring 308 under the action of the spring, locking the eyepiece adjustment ring 301 to prevent accidental displacement, increase structural stability, and achieve precise adjustment.
