Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of variable magnification sights, and more particularly to combination sights supported by a combination bracket. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, sights are generally classified as fixed magnification sights and variable magnification sights. The optical path of a fixed magnification sight is very simple, divided into an objective lens unit, an image transfer lens unit, a reticle, and an eyepiece lens unit. Except for the ballistic adjustment mechanism and the refraction adjustment unit, there are no other moving mechanisms within the sight body. The fewer moving parts, the higher the reliability of the components. Some fixed magnification gun sights permanently fix non-moving parts with adhesive during shipping. This means that only the limited components mentioned above are affected by vibrations during shooting.

[0003] The optical path of a variable magnification sight is more complex, consisting of an objective lens unit, an image transfer lens unit, a magnification lens unit, a variable magnification ring, a reticle, and an eyepiece lens unit. In addition to the ballistic adjustment mechanism and the refraction adjustment, the magnification lens unit and variable magnification ring are also constantly moving parts. However, the increased number of moving parts in a variable magnification sight means reduced component reliability. Furthermore, traditionally, sight adjustments to compensate for factors like wind typically require movement of the firearm, resulting in poor adjustment accuracy.

[0004] Conventional variable magnification sights mainly include speed sights (such as the Vortex Razor GEN2) and rapid variable magnification sights (such as the ELCAN SPECTERDR), which usually use a handwheel or lever to adjust the magnification. The main drawback of these sights is that they tend to create an obscured area when adjusting the magnifier, which blocks the shooter's field of view and creates a blind spot that is detrimental to shooting observation.

[0005] A combined red dot and magnifier sight system consists of a combined red dot sight and a magnifier, which is a fixed magnification telescope. Typically, in a combined system, the magnifier is mounted on a reversible bracket, allowing the system to be switched between magnified and non-magnified modes to accommodate long- and short-range aiming needs.

[0006] For example, application No. 2022229425207 provides a sight combining a variable reticle-integrated red dot and a magnifier. The combination sight includes a bracket, a positioning groove at the upper front of the bracket, a built-in red dot sight located within the positioning groove, and a magnifier reversing mechanism at the upper rear of the bracket. The magnifier is movably connected to the magnifier reversing mechanism, which includes a connecting plate, a rotating sleeve integrally mounted with the connecting plate, and a spring seat mounted below the connecting plate. One end of the spring seat is fixed in a mounting groove at the upper part of the bracket via a spring seat pressing plate, and the other end of the spring seat is a free end. The rotating sleeve is movably connected to the bracket via a rotating shaft. When the magnifier is not in use, the magnifier forms an obscured area in front of the field of view, blocking the shooter's field of view and creating a blind spot, which is detrimental to shooting observation. Summary of the Invention

[0019] First embodiment

[0020] 1 to 8, this embodiment provides a combination sight supported by a combination bracket including a bracket 15, the front of which is a front sight mounting base 25, which is fixedly connected to a front sight 26, the rear of which is a multiplier connection base 27, which is provided with a multiplier 1 via a movable connection mechanism 28, and a multiplier bracket lifting mechanism 29 is further provided on the bracket 15. By operating the movable connection mechanism 28, the multiplier 1 can be rotated up and down to be in use or not in use, and the multiplier bracket lifting mechanism 29 locks the multiplier 1 in use, thereby ensuring stability during use and improving accuracy during aiming.

[0021] Furthermore, the movable connection mechanism 28 includes a front support rod 3 and a rear support rod 2, and the front support rod 3 and the rear support rod 2 have the same structure and are both H-shaped, with the difference being that the front support rod 3 has a groove 31 and a hinge connection hole 30, while the rear support rod 2 does not have a groove 31 or a hinge connection hole 30. Specifically, connection holes are provided at both ends of the front support rod 3, the connection hole at one end of the front support rod 3 is movably connected to the multiplier 1 via a rotating screw 6, the connection hole at the other end of the front support rod 3 is movably connected to the multiplier connection base 27 via the rotating screw 6, a first washer 8 is further provided on the rotating screw 6, a hinge connection hole 30 is further provided on the front support rod 3, and a connection groove 31 is provided around the connection hole at the other end of the front support rod 3, connection holes are provided at both ends of the rear support rod 2, the connection hole at one end of the rear support rod 2 is movably connected to the multiplier 1 via the rotating screw 6, the connection hole at the other end of the rear support rod 2 is movably connected to the multiplier connection base 27 via the rotating screw 6, and a first washer 8 is further provided on the rotating screw 6.

[0022] 2, 3, and 6, the multiplier bracket lifting mechanism 29 includes a compression spring 17, a push rod 24, a hinge 4, two safety switches 9, and a rotating shaft 21. A compression spring mounting hole 32 is provided in the center of the front aiming device mounting base 25, and the extension direction of the compression spring mounting hole 32 is in the front-rear direction. The compression spring 17 is disposed in the compression spring mounting hole 32, and one end of the compression spring 17 contacts the first mounting screw 18, and the compression spring 17 is fastened to the first mounting screw 18. The compression spring 17 is sealed in the compression spring mounting hole 32, and the other end of the compression spring 17 contacts one end of the push rod 24 inserted into the compression spring mounting hole 32. A sealing ring 23 is sleeved on the end where the push rod 24 and the compression spring 17 contact. The other end of the push rod 24 is movably connected to the hinge 4 via the second needle roller 7. The hinge 4 is further movably connected to the front support rod 3 via the first needle roller 5. Specifically, the first needle roller 5 is inserted into the connection hole of the hinge 4 and the hinge connection hole 30, so that the two are movably connected. The two safety switches 9 are provided symmetrically on both the left and right sides of the front aiming device mounting base 25, and the front aiming device mounting base 25 is provided with a rotary shaft mounting hole 33, specifically, the rotary shaft mounting hole 33 is provided at the rear of the front aiming device mounting base 25, the rotary shaft 21 is disposed within the rotary shaft mounting hole 33, and both ends of the rotary shaft 21 are connected to one safety switch 9 each. Therefore, by pressing either of the safety switches 9, the locked state of the multiplier 1 when in use can be released.

[0023] Furthermore, the safety switch 9 includes an outer shell 34 and an inner shell 35, the outer shell 34 and the inner shell 35 are connected by a mounting screw 10, a spring mounting groove 22 is provided between the outer shell 34 and the inner shell 35, a spring 12 is provided in the spring mounting groove 22, the lower side of the spring 12 is limited by a screw 11, the inner shell 35 is provided with a bump 36 cooperating with the groove 31, and the spring 12 is provided above the bump 36. When the multiplier 1 is in use and the multiplier 1 is raised to the use position, the compression spring 17 is compressed and is in a compressed state that continuously generates an elastic force that pushes the multiplier 1 back to the unused position. To stably hold the multiplier 1 in the position when in use, the groove 31 cooperates with the bump 36 to firmly lock the front support rod 3. When the multiplier 1 is no longer in use, simply press the safety switch 9 to release the locked state between the bump 36 and the groove 31, and the pressure of the compression spring 17 returns the multiplier 1 to the non-use position, as shown in Figure 6.

[0024] Furthermore, a screw 20 is further provided on the left side of the front sighting device mounting base 25, and a pressing block 14 is provided on the right side of the front sighting device mounting base 25. The screw 20 penetrates the front sighting device mounting base 25 from left to right and is connected to the pressing block 14 to fix the combination sight supported by the combination bracket. The screw 20 is provided with a limit washer 19, which can reduce wear between the screw 20 and the front sighting device mounting base 25 and prevent the screw 20 from loosening under vibrating operating conditions.

[0025] In actual use, when aiming at a close-range target and the use of the magnifier is not required, pressing either the left or right safety switch 9 will cause the internal compression spring 17 to quickly move the rear magnifier 1 to the position shown in Figure 6, without affecting the use of the front aiming device 26 or the left and right observation fields. When aiming at a long-range target and the use of the magnifier 1 is required, the rear magnifier 1 can be quickly lifted and quickly positioned to the position shown in Figure 7, and the left and right safety switches 9 will firmly lock both the front support rod 3 and the rear support rod 2, aligning the centers of the front aiming device 26 and the rear magnifier 1 on the same axis, allowing for easy and accurate aiming at long-range targets.

[0026] As described above, in a combination sight supported by a combination bracket, the magnifier is movably connected to the rear of the bracket by a movable connection mechanism. When the magnifier needs to be used, the magnifier bracket lifting mechanism lifts it into a usable state, and when it is not needed, the magnifier bracket lifting mechanism lowers it into a non-usable state and locks it. When changing the use state of the magnifier, no lateral position change occurs, so there is no increase in the blind spot area of ​​the shooter's field of view, and the magnifier bracket lifting mechanism is simple, convenient, and quick to operate.

[0027] The above contents are a more detailed description of the present disclosure in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific embodiments of the present disclosure should not be limited to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art of the present disclosure may make some simple inferences or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure, and all of these should be considered to be within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
