Sight Rotational Counting via Electronic Signal Conversion

The patent replaces the manual mechanical counting ring system with an electronic sensing system. A sensor detects the axial movement of the adjusting unit and converts it to an electric signal, which is then processed by a control unit to determine the number of rotations. This substitution of mechanical counting with electronic sensing and digital processing resolves the contradiction by providing precise rotation recording without requiring complex manual tracking mechanisms.

The patent introduces an intermediary sensor that bridges the mechanical adjusting unit and the digital recording system. The sensor acts as a mediator that converts the mechanical axial movement into an electric signal, which is then processed by the control unit. This intermediary approach allows digital recording precision to be achieved while keeping the overall device complexity manageable by separating the sensing, signal conversion, and data processing functions into distinct modular components.

The converting unit is designed to automatically detect and record the axial movement of the adjusting unit without requiring external intervention. The sensor self-activates when movement occurs, automatically converts the mechanical displacement to an electric signal, and the control unit autonomously processes this signal to update the rotation count. This self-service capability improves reliability by eliminating manual operations while the modular design keeps complexity manageable.
