Description

A digital-mechanical collimating pistol sight Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aiming technology, specifically relating to a digital movement collimating pistol sight. Background Technology

[0002] To reduce the risk of exposure for shooters, improve target identification beyond mere observation, enhance target identifiability, and expand the application of red dot sights, thermal imaging technology has been applied to traditional red dot sights. This involves transmitting images captured by thermal imaging to the traditional red dot sight, which then reflects the image back to the user through the lens for aiming assistance. This process retains the inherent aiming function of the red dot sight, seamlessly integrating the thermal image with the red dot's inherent aiming capability. Furthermore, the electronic focusing function of thermal imaging significantly improves aiming accuracy, effectively mitigating the adverse effects of ambient light and shooting distance. For example, patent application number 202210970881.4 discloses a sight with thermal imaging capabilities.

[0003] In addition, to facilitate use and reduce operating costs, a split-type fusion sight has been provided, as seen in Chinese invention patent number 202223132354.0. This involves dividing the fusion sight with thermal imaging capabilities into two parts: a aiming component and an eyepiece component. The circuit connection and signal transmission of these two parts are completed through PCB wiring technology, or the two parts are powered separately and the signal is transmitted through a wireless communication module. This makes the use and maintenance of the red dot sight with thermal imaging capabilities more convenient.

[0004] However, it is not difficult to see that all of these sights, whether they are integrated or separate, especially the separate ones mentioned here, are still assembled as a whole when in use, and are not separate enough to be installed on the firearm. Therefore, the current thermal imaging red dot sights are not suitable for small handguns.

[0005] To address this, an integrated pistol fusion sight has been developed. Its main feature is that the reflex sight and camera assembly of the separate fusion sight are separated and separately mounted on the top rear end and bottom front end of the barrel. Although it achieves an integrated structure, the reflex sight used in this design has poor image quality, is prone to image distortion, and has a narrow field of view. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fusion sight suitable for small firearms, which has high imaging quality, no image distortion, a wide field of view, is opaque, and does not allow the real scene to be seen through the eyepiece, but the image and the real scene can be stitched together, and semi-fusion can be performed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a digital movement collimating pistol sight, including a pistol barrel, a digital movement collimating sight element, and a digital movement collimating camera assembly. The special feature is that the digital movement collimating sight element is clamped at the top of the rear end of the pistol barrel, and the digital movement collimating camera assembly is clamped at the bottom of the front end of the pistol barrel.

[0008] The digital camera collimation module includes a first wireless communication module connected to the digital image sensor module, and the digital camera collimation aiming element is provided with a second wireless communication module connected to the display screen, for transmitting the image data of the digital image sensor module to the display screen.

[0009] The image sensor digital mechanism is housed within the collimating sight of the digital mechanism.

[0010] The advantages of this invention are: It separately manufactures the target acquisition component (also known as the aiming component or camera component), which consists of the lens assembly and mechanism assembly of an existing sight with thermal imaging and low-light night vision aiming function (hereinafter referred to as a fusion sight), and the component containing a traditional LED graphic chip and a beam splitter display (mainly composed of a display screen and a beam splitter, also known as a reflective sight). Image data transmission is achieved through an added WIFI communication module. Furthermore, rails are provided on the outer shell of each component to connect to rails mounted on a pistol. This allows existing fusion sights to be easily adapted for use on pistols, offering not only ease of use but also flexible and simple maintenance and replacement. In particular, the use of a collimating lens group as the eyepiece results in better image quality, no image distortion, and a wider field of view. The image can also be stitched with the real-world scene, enabling semi-fusion. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To provide a fusion sight suitable for compact firearms, while offering high image quality, distortion-free images, a wide viewing angle, and opacity (preventing the view from being seen through the eyepiece), yet allowing for semi-fusion by stitching the image with the real scene, this embodiment provides a digital-mechanism collimating pistol sight as shown in Figure 1. It includes a pistol barrel 1, a digital-mechanism collimating sight 2, and a digital-mechanism collimating camera assembly 3. The digital-mechanism collimating sight 2 is mounted on the top rear end of the pistol barrel 1, and the digital-mechanism collimating camera assembly 3 is mounted on the bottom front end of the pistol barrel 1. Both the digital-mechanism collimating sight 2 and the digital-mechanism collimating camera assembly 3 are mounted on the pistol barrel 1 via Picatinny rails. Other mounting methods can also be used, depending on the design or production requirements of the technicians. The commonly used Picatinny rail is chosen here primarily for its versatility and convenience.

[0020] It should be noted that the digital camera collimation module 3 includes a first wireless communication module connected to the digital image sensor module, and the digital camera collimation aiming element 2 is provided with a second wireless communication module connected to the display screen, for transmitting the image data of the digital image sensor module to the display screen 6 shown in Figure 2; the digital image sensor module is located inside the digital camera collimation aiming element 2.

[0021] As shown in Figure 2, the digital sensor collimating sight 2 includes a housing 4, a display screen 6 mounted inside the front of the housing 4, and a collimating lens group 5 mounted inside the housing 4 and located between the display screen 6 and a protective glass mounted on the rear of the housing 4. The image sensor digital sensor mechanism and its circuit board are mounted at the bottom front of the housing 4, and a battery 8 is mounted at the bottom of the housing 4, behind the image sensor digital sensor mechanism and its circuit board. The entire digital sensor collimating sight 2 has a compact structure, is small in size, and is easy to clamp. In particular, the collimating lens group 5, when used as an eyepiece, provides better image quality, no image distortion, and a wider field of view. However, it is not light-transmitting, and the real scene cannot be seen through the eyepiece, but the image and the real scene can be stitched together for semi-fusion.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the image sensor digital camera module can be any of the following: thermal imaging camera module, night vision camera module, or visible light camera module.
