[0002] In existing technologies, laser rangefinders are mostly monocular structures with relatively low magnification in their optical systems, short measurement distances, and limited functionality, resulting in a narrow range of applications. Existing Porro laser rangefinders often use OLED displays, have non-adjustable eye distances, rely heavily on image processing technology for object imaging, place high demands on the imaging detector, and suffer from poor battery life and high costs. Currently, laser rangefinders are transitioning from military to civilian applications to meet the needs of military observation, outdoor exploration, geological surveys, and other fields. This requires reducing costs while improving operability and observation comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] A Porro laser rangefinder includes a telescope body assembly, an eyepiece group, and an objective lens group. The telescope body assembly includes a left telescope body, a right telescope body, a central axis, a left telescope cover, and a right telescope cover. The left and right telescope covers are respectively mounted and connected to the left and right telescope bodies, which are connected via the central axis and can rotate around it. The objective lens group is mounted on the left and right telescope covers, and the eyepiece group is mounted on the left and right telescope bodies. A transparent display screen is provided in the right telescope body, corresponding to the position of the eyepiece group mounted on that side. Each of the right and left telescope bodies contains a prism group and an optical axis adjustment assembly, which can adjust the optical axis of the prism group. The right telescope cover contains a laser rangefinder module, a digital electronic compass, and a main control circuit board. The left telescope cover contains a battery assembly, which powers the telescope. After the laser rangefinder module and the digital electronic compass acquire data, the main control circuit board converts the light signals into electrical signals, and finally images the data information onto the transparent display screen, which is then magnified by the eyepiece group for human observation.
[0005] Furthermore, the prism assembly includes a prism frame, and an upper prism and a lower prism disposed on the prism frame, with a spherical column provided on the prism frame.
[0006] Furthermore, both the right and left mirror bodies are provided with spherical concave holes corresponding to the spherical cylinders inside.
[0007] Furthermore, the optical axis adjustment assembly includes a compression spring, an adjusting screw, and a locking screw. The prism frame is initially fixed by the locking screw after being positioned by the corresponding spherical column and spherical concave hole. Then, the adjusting screw is turned in cooperation with the compression spring to finely adjust the angle of the prism frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the lug holes on the left and right sides of the mirror body are tapered, and the central axis can be loosely or loosely set in the lug holes by means of a set screw.
[0009] Furthermore, the prism group, eyepiece group, and objective lens group constitute a Porro telescope optical system.
[0010] Furthermore, the right mirror is also equipped with a button group connected to the main control circuit board, which includes buttons for ranging and angle measurement functions.
[0011] Furthermore, the mirror assembly is covered with a rubber protective skin.
[0012] Furthermore, the battery assembly includes a lithium battery, a battery casing, and a battery cover. The lithium battery is installed in the battery casing, and the battery casing is fixed inside the left mirror cover after being threadedly connected to the left mirror cover via the battery cover.
[0013] Furthermore, the eyepiece is equipped with an eye shield, and the laser lens of the laser ranging module is fitted with protective glass.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the significant advantages of this invention are as follows: The Porro laser rangefinder combines the advantages of the Porro telescope optical system and the laser rangefinder, and incorporates a transparent display screen, allowing data and images to be displayed simultaneously in the eyepiece, providing stereoscopic observation capabilities. The optical axis is adjusted externally using springs and screws, which is time-saving and labor-saving. It has the advantages of being lightweight, small in size, highly accurate, easy to operate, and highly adaptable to various environments. It can meet both military and civilian needs and is widely used in military observation, outdoor exploration, geological exploration, and other fields, providing a new approach to laser rangefinders.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this invention discloses a Porro laser rangefinder telescope, including a body assembly, an eyepiece group 1, an objective lens group 2, a battery assembly 3, a button assembly 4, and a rubber protective cover 5. The metal parts, such as the body assembly, are mainly made of aluminum alloy to ensure necessary strength while reducing weight. The components are rigidly connected by screws and threads, and exposed connections are sealed with sealant. The rubber protective cover 5 encases the entire device. The overall structure is compact, stable, reliable, waterproof, and shockproof, maintaining stable operation even in complex environments. The button assembly 4 contains two buttons for distance and angle measurement functions, facilitating handheld use and wide applicability.
[0028] like Figure 3The diagram shows the optical principle of the telescope of this invention. The telescope also includes a transparent display screen 6, a laser ranging module 7, a digital electronic compass 8, an optical axis adjustment assembly, and a prism group 11. The eyepiece group 1, prism group 11, and objective lens group 2 form a Porro telescope optical system, integrating white light observation with data acquisition. Distant objects are imaged on the transparent display screen 6 through the objective lens group 2 and prism group 11, and then magnified by the eyepiece group 1 for human observation. The ranging and angle measurement functions are achieved by the laser ranging module 7 and the digital electronic compass 8, powered by a single CR123 lithium battery 9 in the battery assembly 3. After acquiring data, the laser ranging module 7 and the digital electronic compass 8 convert the light signals into electrical signals through the main control circuit board 23, ultimately image the data information on the transparent display screen 6, and then magnified by the eyepiece group 1 for human observation. The laser ranging module 7 has a protective glass 10, providing a wide ranging and angle measurement range with high accuracy.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the lens assembly includes a left lens body 12, a right lens body 13, a central axis 14, a left lens cap 16, and a right lens cap 17. The left lens cap 16 and the right lens cap 17 are respectively installed on the left lens body 12 and the right lens body 13 with screws, and the connection is sealed with sealant. The left lens body 12 and the right lens body 13 are connected by the central axis 14, and the left and right lens bodies can rotate around the central axis 14 to realize the eye distance adjustment function.
[0030] like Figure 5a and 5b As shown, the prism assembly 11 includes a prism frame 24, and an upper prism 25 and a lower prism 26 disposed on the prism frame 24. A spherical column 30 is provided on the prism frame 24 for optical axis adjustment.
[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the left and right mirror bodies (12, 13) are each provided with spherical concave holes 31 corresponding to the spherical column 30, which are used for the stable installation of the prism assembly 11 and the optical axis adjustment.
[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, the optical axis adjustment assembly includes a compression spring 27, an adjusting screw 28, and a locking screw 29. The prism assembly 11 is installed on the left and right mirror bodies (12, 13) respectively using the compression spring 27, adjusting screw 28, and locking screw 29. After initial installation, the optical axis is adjusted using an optical axis calibration instrument. First, the locking screw 29 is tightened, and then the adjusting screw 28 is fine-tuned using an Allen wrench. The compression spring 27 provides buffering and restoring force, aligning the left and right optical axes. To ensure ranging accuracy, the laser ranging module 7 is calibrated using an optical axis calibration instrument. Shims are added to the mounting location of the laser ranging module 7, and the emitting optical axis of the laser ranging module 7 is adjusted to coincide with the crosshairs of the transparent display screen 6. This invention allows for external optical axis adjustment using the compression spring 27 and two screws, reducing the number of disassembly and reassembly steps and improving calibration efficiency.
[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, the eyepiece assembly 1 is equipped with an eye shield 15, which provides eye protection. Figure 9 As shown, the central axis 14 and the left and right mirror body support holes are tapered. The friction between the central axis 14 and the left and right mirror bodies can be changed by adjusting the tension of the set screw 18 until the left and right mirror bodies rotate smoothly.
[0034] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, objective lens group 2 includes a left objective lens 19 and a right objective lens 22. The left objective lens 19 and the battery assembly 3 are respectively connected to the left lens cover 16 by threads. The battery assembly 3 mainly consists of a CR123 lithium battery 9, a battery sleeve 20 and a battery cover 21.
[0035] The laser ranging module 7 and the digital electronic compass 8 are mounted on the right mirror cover 17. Correspondingly, the right mirror cover 17 is also equipped with a main control circuit board 23. The laser ranging module 7 and the digital electronic compass 8 transmit the collected data to the transparent display screen 6 through the processing of the main control circuit board 23. After being magnified by the eyepiece group 1, the data is observed by the human eye.
[0036] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly. In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection" and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Although the implementation process of this utility model has been described in detail above, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
