Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sights, particularly night vision, digital, and dual-lens sights, are inconvenient due to the integrated arrangement of the objective lens and sight body, necessitating the purchase of a new sight for different focal lengths.

Innovation Solution

The objective lens piece is separably connected to the main body of the sight through clamping members and electric connection assemblies, allowing users to replace the lens for various focal lengths without buying a new sight.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the objective lens is integrated with the sight body, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The sight is divided into separate modules: the sight body and the objective lens piece. The objective lens piece can be detached and replaced independently, allowing users to switch between different focal lengths without replacing the entire sight. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining structural stability of the sight body while enabling adaptability through modular lens replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sight body is designed with a universal mounting interface that can accommodate multiple types of objective lens pieces with different focal lengths. This universal design allows a single sight body to perform multiple functions by simply changing the lens piece, thereby improving adaptability without compromising the stability of the main sight structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If the objective lens is integrated with the sight body, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing precisionVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the sight into a precision-manufactured sight body and interchangeable lens pieces, the manufacturing precision of the sight body is maintained while improving ease of operation. Users can easily replace lens pieces without affecting the precision alignment of the main sight structure, as the mounting interface is designed to preserve optical alignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sight body is pre-configured with mounting structures and alignment features that facilitate easy attachment and detachment of lens pieces. This preliminary preparation of the mounting interface ensures that users can quickly change lenses without complex adjustment procedures, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the objective lens and sight body are inseparable, then the reliability is improved, but the loss of substance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidloss of substance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The sight system is segmented into a reliable sight body and interchangeable lens pieces. This segmentation allows users to replace only the lens piece when focal length changes are needed, rather than discarding or replacing the entire sight. This reduces material loss while maintaining the reliability of the sight body through repeated use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design enables recovery and reuse of the sight body while allowing individual lens pieces to be discarded or replaced as needed. This selective replacement strategy reduces overall substance loss by keeping the expensive and reliable sight body in circulation and only replacing the consumable lens components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a sight. The sight includes a main body and an objective lens piece. The main body includes a connection end. A first electric connection assembly is arranged on an end surface of the connection end of the main body. A first clamping member is arranged around the first electric connection assembly. A second electric connection assembly is arranged on one end surface of the objective lens piece. A second clamping member is arranged around the second electric connection assembly. The second clamping member is clamped into the first clamping member to make the objective lens piece detachably connected to the main body. When the second clamping member is clamped into the first clamping member, the second electric connection assembly is abutted to the first electric connection assembly to make the objective lens piece electrically connected to the main body.
