Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aiming systems, and specifically relates to an aiming system based on the fusion of infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and LED aiming light spots, and an aiming device with a thermal imaging function.

Background Art

[0002] The light emitted from the LED chip attached to the existing firearm aiming device is reflected by the adhesive lens to form an aiming light spot. The emission band of the LED chip is 560±80nm or other bands, and the light emitted from the LED often includes various colors such as red, yellow, and green. The narrow-band interference filter film and long-wavelength cut filter film coated on the adhesive lens reflect light of various colors. Light with a wavelength of 545±15nm and a wavelength greater than 600nm is reflected to the human eye. At the same time, the human eye observes the target and the environment around the target through the adhesive lens, and shoots in an aiming method where the aiming light spot coincides with the target.

[0003] Patent Application No. 201920048750.4 discloses an optical system for a reflective internal red dot sight that improves monochromaticity and concealment, and includes an LED chip and a lens used to reflect light emitted by the LED chip. Near the LED chip, a filter sheet coated with a narrowband interference filter film is placed between the LED chip and the lens. This filter sheet is used to filter out broadband light other than the central wavelength emitted by the LED chip in order to improve the monochromaticity of the light entering the human eye. The light energy of light of wavelengths other than the central wavelength emitted from the filter sheet is weakened or cut off, and the energy of the central wavelength light emitted from the filter sheet is directed onto the adhesive reflective surface of the lens. Because the adhesive reflective surface is coated with a cut film that cuts off the central wavelength, the light emitted from the lens is difficult to detect when viewed from a distance, improving the concealment of the sight. Directly observing a target through the human eye is extremely difficult in shooting environments where the distance is long or the light is low, making it very difficult to accurately judge or identify the target.

[0004] Japanese Patent Application No. 201922462324.8 discloses a two-light, three-color optical system and its sight, including a green light chip module, a red light chip module, and a right-angle prism. The green light chip module and the red light chip module are arranged perpendicularly, and the geometric center of the cubic prism is located at the intersection of the emitted rays from the green light chip module and the red light chip module. The cubic prism is coated with a composite film on its diagonal surfaces extending along the angle bisector of the emitted rays from the green light chip module and the red light chip module. This composite film is used to completely reflect the red light emitted by the red light chip module and to transmit the green light emitted by the green light chip module. By setting up two light sources, red and green, and emitting them orthogonally to each other, green light, red light, yellow light, etc. can be generated through a control circuit with the help of a prism and a total reflection film or a transmission film, significantly reducing the number of light sources and the volume and weight of the sight. However, with such sights, the target is still observed directly with the human eye, making it extremely difficult to accurately judge or identify a target at long distances or in low-light shooting environments.

[0026] The terms “First” and “Second” are used solely for descriptive purposes and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly specifying the number of designated technical features. Therefore, features limited by the terms “First” and “Second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such features. In this description, unless otherwise stated, “multiple” means two or more.

[0027] Example 1 This design was developed to address the problem of target observation and determination being heavily influenced by ambient light, which is a consequence of the optical systems of existing aiming devices that require direct observation of the target with the human eye.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the present invention provides a targeting system based on the fusion of infrared imaging, low-light imaging and an LED targeting light spot, comprising an LED graphic chip 20, a lens 3, a beam splitter 30, a display screen 31, a thermal imaging core assembly 13, a low-light night vision imaging module 48, and a main control board 1, wherein the thermal imaging core assembly 13 is electrically connected to the main control board 1, the low-light night vision imaging module 48 is electrically connected to the main control board 1, and both the thermal imaging core assembly 13 and the low-light night vision imaging module 48 are electrically connected to the display screen 31, and the main control The roll board 1 is electrically connected to the LED graphic chip 20 and the display screen 31, respectively. The light emitted from the LED graphic chip 20 and the display screen 31 passes through the beam splitter 30 and enters the lens 3. The LED graphic chip 20 provides a light spot for aiming under the control of the main control board 1. The light emitted from the LED graphic chip 20 is reflected or transmitted by the beam splitter 30 before entering the lens 3, and after being reflected by the lens 3, enters the shooter's eye 50. The shooter's eye 50 can directly observe the target 49 and the surrounding scenery through the lens 3. Furthermore, the thermal imaging core assembly 13 and the low-light night vision module 48, under the control of the control board 1, collect video images of the target 49 and the surrounding scenery. The collected video images are played back synchronously via the display screen 31, transmitted or refracted by the beam splitter 30, enter the lens 3, are reflected by the lens 3, and then enter the shooter's eye 55. The source from which the shooter observes the target 49 and the surrounding scenery may be the directly observed target 49 and surrounding scenery, or it may be a recording of the thermal imaging core assembly 13 and the low-light night vision module 48 projected onto the display screen 31. Thus, the problems of unclear observation and significant influence of environmental factors caused by existing aiming devices, where the target 49 and the surrounding scenery are directly observed by the shooter through the lens 3, can be overcome.Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the optical path of a sighting system based on the fusion of infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and an LED aiming light spot. From Figure 4, it can be seen that the sighting system is a reflective aiming mirror optical system, meaning that all the light emitted from the LED graphic chip 20 and the display screen 31 is reflected by the lens 3 and incident on the shooter's eye 50.

[0029] Furthermore, the light incident from the display screen to the beam splitter and the light incident from the LED graphic chip 20 to the beam splitter are arranged at a 90° angle. Note that, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, one of the aiming light spot emitted from the LED graphic chip 20 and the image reproduced on the display screen 31 are reflected by the beam splitter 30, while the other passes through the beam splitter 30.

[0030] Furthermore, since the beam splitter 30 primarily plays a role in optical fusion, it can also be replaced with a translucent, semi-reflective planar mirror.

[0031] Furthermore, the aiming system based on the fusion of infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and an LED aiming light spot further includes a battery 14, which is electrically connected to the LED graphic chip 20, the display 31, the thermal imaging core assembly 13, the low-light night vision module 48, and the main control board 1, respectively, and supplies the electrical energy necessary for the operation of the LED graphic chip 20, the display screen 31, the thermal imaging core assembly 13, the low-light night vision module 48, and the main control board 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the battery 14 can use CR123A, 18650, 18350, polymer lithium batteries, etc., the LED graphic chip 20 may use the HK-882 LED chipset, the display screen 31 can use Micro LED or OLED, the thermal imaging core assembly 13 can use the Arrow thermal imaging core assembly 13, the low-light night vision module 48 can use Sony's low-light 385 or 482 low-light night vision module, and the main control board 1 is customized and developed to meet the needs of products using the LED graphic chip 20, display screen 31, thermal imaging core assembly 13, and low-light night vision module 48. For example, the main control board developed according to the HK-882 LED chipset, Micro LED, Arrow, Amap, etc. thermal imaging core assemblies, and Sony's low-light CMOS sensor can be the 21109 main control board.

[0033] Furthermore, depending on the application scenario, the illustrated thermal imaging core assembly 13 and low-light night vision module 48 may be positioned separately from the sight. For example, the images captured by the thermal imaging core assembly 13 and low-light night vision module 48 can be transmitted wirelessly or via wired connection directly to the sight or AR glasses, thereby improving the ability to identify shooting targets and expanding the application scenarios of the red dot sight. Users can freely select and combine the thermal imaging core assembly 13 or the low-light night vision module 48 with the sight according to their application scenario.

[0034] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, the LED graphic chip can be further replaced with a Micro LED screen, in which case the system has two screens: one screen displays a split image and the other screen displays infrared and low-light images. The light from the two paths is reflected or transmitted by a beam splitter before entering the lens, which reflects the light before entering the shooter's eye, allowing the shooter to directly observe the target and surrounding images through the lens.

[0035] Example 3 Furthermore, unlike Examples 1 and 2, the aiming system based on the fusion of infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and an LED aiming light spot includes a lens, an OLED screen or Micro LED display, a thermal imaging core assembly, a low-light night vision module, and a main control board, wherein the thermal imaging core assembly is electrically connected to the main control board, the low-light night vision module is electrically connected to the main control board, both the thermal imaging core assembly and the low-light night vision module are electrically connected to a display screen, and the main control board is electrically connected to an OLED screen. The light emitted from the OLED screen enters the lens, and in this case, a single OLED screen or Micro LED display is used without using a beam splitter, and two color LEDs are used in the OLED screen or Micro LED display, with green displaying a fused image and red displaying a divided figure. The light emitted from the OLED screen or Micro LED display enters the lens directly, is reflected through the lens, and then enters the shooter's eye, allowing the shooter to directly observe the target and surrounding image through the lens.

[0036] In summary, this aiming system, based on the integration of infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and an LED aiming spot, can assist in target observation or determination by integrating infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and human-eye target observation. Furthermore, by determining the target through the aiming of the light spot, accurate shooting can be performed. This aiming system, based on the integration of infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and an LED aiming spot, can reduce the influence of environmental factors such as light and distance on shooting accuracy. The method of determining the target does not rely solely on human target observation, enhancing target identification ability and expanding the application scenarios of red dot aiming systems.

The adjustment assembly 7 further includes an adjustment screw 43, which is located behind the adjustment assembly body 17.

The LED graphic chip 20 provides a light spot for aiming under the control of the main control board 1. The light emitted from the LED graphic chip 20 is reflected or transmitted by the beam splitter 30 before entering the lens 3, and after being reflected by the lens 3, it enters the shooter's eye, allowing the shooter to directly observe the target and the surrounding scenery through the lens 3.

[0051] Furthermore, depending on the application scenario, the illustrated lens assembly 12 may be positioned separately from the sight.

[0052] In summary, this thermal imaging sight assists in target observation or determination through the integration of infrared imaging, low-light imaging, and human-eye target observation, allowing for target determination through the aiming light spot and enabling accurate shooting. Because this thermal imaging sight reduces the impact of environmental factors such as light and distance on shooting accuracy and lowers the risk of radiation exposure to the shooter, it enables target determination that does not rely solely on human-eye observation, improving target recognition capabilities and expanding the application environment of red dot sights.
