Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a conventional sight is combined with a rangefinder to enable distance measurement, then distance measurement capability is improved, but the equipment becomes bulky and heavy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the rangefinder and sight into a single integrated unit, merging the laser transmitting module, laser receiving element, and telescope into one compact device. This eliminates the need for separate equipment and reduces overall weight while maintaining distance measurement capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated sight-rangefinder unit performs multiple functions simultaneously: optical viewing through the telescope, distance measurement via laser transmission and reception, and target acquisition. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated devices, reducing total equipment weight.
2Measurement precision
If turrets are added to adjust the reticle direction for accurate aiming, then aiming precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the turret mechanism from the design, extracting the adjustment function and replacing it with a simpler fixed reticle system. This eliminates complex mechanical components while maintaining aiming capability through the integrated laser sight alignment.
Solution Approach 2:
The mechanical turret adjustment system is replaced with an optical-laser alignment system. The laser transmitting module provides a visible aiming beam that eliminates the need for mechanical reticle adjustment, substituting mechanical complexity with optical simplicity.
3Measurement precision
If the laser emitting module is adjusted automatically and simultaneously with turret adjustments, then distance measurement accuracy is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated design makes the laser transmitting module and sight inherently aligned through their fixed relative positions. The system serves itself by maintaining automatic alignment without requiring coordinated adjustments, as both components share the same optical axis by design.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of adjusting the laser module to follow turret movements, the patent inverts the approach by fixing the laser module's position relative to the sight and using the laser beam as the primary aiming reference. This eliminates the need for simultaneous adjustments.
4Volume of moving object
If a compact design is implemented without turrets, then the device size and weight are reduced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the laser transmitting module and sight into a single integrated unit with fixed relative positioning, the patent reduces the number of adjustable components. This consolidation simplifies the overall structure and reduces volume, while the fixed assembly process ensures consistent alignment during manufacturing.

AI summary
A sight capable of measuring distance comprises a telescope without any turrets, a laser transmitting module, a mount for adjusting elevation and windage and a power supply. The telescope comprises a barrel, an unadjustable reticle fixed in the barrel and a laser receiving module fixed in the barrel. The laser transmitting module is steadfastly fixed on the outer barrel of the telescope and emitting a laser beam toward the target. The mount for adjusting elevation and windage is fixed on a lower side of the outer barrel of telescope, and comprises a mounting part, an elevation adjusting part and a windage adjusting part. The power supply electrically connects to the laser transmitting module and the laser receiving module.
