Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual adjustment of telescopic sight turrets and magnification power ring is used, then the shooter can adjust settings, but the shooting efficiency is greatly reduced and the shooter's attention is away from the battle or hunting field
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic sight system performs automatic adjustment of turrets and magnification power ring based on ballistic information from the smart device. The system serves itself by automatically converting ballistic parameters into turret adjustments without requiring manual shooter intervention, thereby resolving the contradiction between shooting efficiency and manual operation requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical adjustment system with an automated control system that receives digital ballistic information from a smart device and automatically adjusts the turrets and magnification power ring. This substitution eliminates the need for manual mechanical operations while maintaining precise adjustment capability
2Adaptability or versatility
If smart devices and telescopic sights are used separately, then each device has advanced functions, but they are not a linked system to coordinate with each other
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the smart device (rangefinder with ballistic calculation) and the telescopic sight into a coordinated linked system. The smart device provides ballistic information that is directly transmitted to and integrated with the telescopic sight's control system, enabling automatic turret adjustment and creating a unified shooting system that combines the advantages of both devices
3Measurement precision
If the shooter needs to measure distance, calculate trajectory and adjust turrets manually, then accuracy can be achieved, but these time-consuming tasks keep the shooter's attention away from the battle or hunting field
Solution Approach 1:
The smart device performs preliminary ballistic calculations in advance, computing trajectory compensation data based on measured distance and environmental parameters. This pre-calculated ballistic information is then automatically transferred to the telescopic sight, which automatically adjusts the turrets without requiring the shooter to perform manual calculations or measurements, thus maintaining accuracy while eliminating time loss
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the smart device continuously provides ballistic information to the telescopic sight control system, which automatically adjusts the turrets and magnification power ring. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures accurate target acquisition while eliminating the time-consuming manual adjustment process

AI summary
A sensing and adjustment system for a telescopic sight includes a plurality of sensing portions, a plurality of driving portions and a central controlling portion respectively fixed to a main body of the telescopic sight, a setting portion, a displaying portion, a plurality of fixing portions, a plurality of transmitting portions each fixed to a corresponding adjusting knob. Each sensing portion includes an angle position sensor and a gear and is configured to perceive a rotation angle of the corresponding adjusting knob and then transmitted to the central controlling portion. The fixing portion fixes the sensing portions and driving portions to the main body and close to their corresponding adjusting knob so that the gear of the sensing portions and driving portions is meshed with a corresponding gear of the transmitting portion. The central controlling portion can calculate an adjusting quantity of each adjusting knob according to setting data set by the setting portion and angle data perceived by the sensing portion and simultaneously drive the driving portion to automatically adjust the corresponding adjusting knob via the transmitting portion according to a received objective adjusting quantity.
