Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sighting device for a firearm, comprising a sighting telescope with display device for displaying ballistic correction values and with a mounting base which can be attached to the sighting telescope and contains input means for ballistic-relevant data and a processor for processing the data.
  • a sighting device of the aforementioned type is known from US 6,862,832 B2 known.
  • the known sighting device consists of a rifle scope and an electronic height adjustment knob with integrated keyboard.
  • TheCN can like a so-called.
  • Tower attached to the top of the scope, for example, be retrofitted.
  • the scope is mounted on a rifle that is shot at a certain distance.
  • the shooter enters certain parameters into the keyboard, namely target data (distance, direction, speed), data of ammunition used, environmental conditions (temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, altitude, air pressure), etc.
  • a computer calculates a value which corresponds to an optimal adjustment of a target in the scope.
  • the shooter now looks through the riflescope while twisting the height adjustment button "clicks" until it brings the displayed mark to cover the target object. Then the electronically recorded number of "clicks" corresponds to the previously calculated value.
  • the known sighting device is therefore cumbersome to use, because the necessarily small keyboard with small buttons under harsh environmental conditions, especially in a battle situation is difficult to operate.
  • Another disadvantage is that the display device is arranged outside of the riflescope or the field of view. As a result, the shooter has to interrupt the scene observation to read data.
  • display devices must have a night-lit display, which leads in the case of an external display device that the shooter is illuminated by the display and easily locatable for an opponent.
  • the known sighting finally represents only the position of the height tower, but not the side tower.
  • the shooter is queried by the computer menu-driven for specific data in the above manner, including the used rifle, the target, the ammunition and the environmental conditions.
  • the computer determines therefrom a destination information, the is displayed on a display and allows the shooter to optimally set the rifle target.
  • a sighting device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 1 340 956 A2 known.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the prior art, in particular to facilitate handling.
  • the sighting device has a mounting base, which contains input means for Ballisingrelekante data and a processor for processing the data and that at the mounting base, a mode selector switch and a rotary encoder with printing function for manual control the display and the adjustment of the data are provided.
  • a further embodiments of the invention which can also be used alone, is characterized in that the telescopic sight has at least one tower for adjusting the height or side of the scope, wherein the tower is provided with an adjustable in rotation locking ring, and that the Rest steps are displayed synchronously in the display device.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 10 as a whole denotes an embodiment of a sighting device according to the invention.
  • the sighting device 10 initially contains a scope 11 having an objective 12, an eyepiece 14 and an adjustment group 16.
  • the adjustment group 16 has a height adjustment tower 18 and a side adjustment tower 20.
  • the setting towers 18, 20 are provided in a manner known per se with setting rings which are rotatable for setting a target mark in the scope 11 in predetermined latching steps ("clicks").
  • the sighting device 10 further includes a mounting base 22 formed as a mounting module.
  • the mounting base 22 has a lower part 23 and two upper parts 24a and 24b. How to get out of the Figures 3 and 4 can take, the lower part 23 and the upper parts 24a and 24b are provided with cup-shaped receiving surfaces, which receive the telescopic sight 11 as a ring mount positively and non-positively in the assembled state of the mounting base 22.
  • the lower part 23 is preferably screwed to the upper parts 24a and 24b, as the Figures 3 and 4 clearly show.
  • a mode selector switch 26 On the right side of the mounting base 22, as seen from the shooter, there are two setting elements, namely a mode selector switch 26 and, next to it, a digital rotary encoder 28.
  • the mode selector switch whose details are shown in FIG. 7 are shown, is a rotatable tap changer, with the different functions can be selected.
  • the digital encoder its details FIG. 8 shows, serves for the quasi-continuous setting of a size. He is provided with a central acknowledgment push button.
  • an air pressure sensor 30 is shown as an example of an environmental condition sensing sensor. However, this is to be understood only as an example, because of course other or further sensors on the mounting base 22 (Temperature, humidity, angle of inclination, wind speed, wind direction, geographical altitude, etc.) can be provided.
  • a rail 32 is provided, with which the sighting unit 10 can be mounted on a corresponding counterpart of a firearm.
  • the rail may e.g. be formed according to the standard MIL STD 1913 Picatinny Rail.
  • a wire or fiber-bonded or wireless connection 33 leads to one or more external input devices 34, such as an input keyboard, a value memory, or a meter, e.g. a laser rangefinder.
  • the connection 33 can also lead to an external fire control or to a data network (Internet).
  • the input device may also include sensors for sensing physical environmental parameters (wind force, wind direction, temperature, altitude, air pressure, humidity, etc.) that are communicated to the mounting base 22 by wire or wireless.
  • FIG. 2 It can be seen that on the underside of the mounting base 22 is a mainboard 35 which is releasably secured there, for example with screws (see. FIG. 4 ). Furthermore one recognizes in FIG. 2 an interface, for example of the type USB or RS 232, which can lead to the connection 33. Furthermore, a battery compartment 38 can be seen on the front side of the mounting base 22.
  • FIG. 3 shows the mounting base 22 in partially disassembled from the scope 11 state. It can be seen that the screw connection between the lower part 23 and the upper parts 24a and 24b is released. Thus, on the upper side of the lower part 23, a first connecting means 40a of a further interface 40 can be seen, which connects during assembly of the lower part 23 and upper parts 24a, 24b with a second connecting means 40b, which is attached to the underside of the riflescope 11, as clear from FIG. 4 is recognizable.
  • FIG. 5 12 shows a block diagram 42 that illustrates the interaction between the mounting base 22 with the scope 11 on the one hand and with the external data input 34.
  • the external data input 34 includes, for example, a laser range finder that communicates with a processor 43 in the submount 22 via a preferably wireless interface RF.
  • a command input to the processor 43 is connected, for example, a button with which a new calculation of the data can be started with current values.
  • the processor 43 is also supplied with specific data, for example the projectile weight, the projectile diameter, the exit velocity v 0 of the projectile, the ballistic coefficient (from a table), the offset correction for v 0 , the parallax height of the telescopic sight 11 over the axis of the soul of the rifle, the unit definition, the setting of the reference data, as well as all data related to the shooting. These data arrive via the interface 36 to the processor 43.
  • sensors are integrated in the illustrated embodiment, e.g. the air pressure sensor 30, in the illustrated example, but also sensors for the relative humidity and the temperature, as well as for the inclination of the sighting device in several coordinates. These signals are also supplied to the processor 43.
  • the processor 43 includes a data memory, a program memory with the calculation software, a signal output, a power management, e.g. for a power-saving mode and the battery status, as well as a data bus master.
  • the mounting base 22 finally contains in the battery compartment 38 nor the necessary batteries, if necessary, a power supply unit.
  • a first data bus slave is used to control the display device used as a multi-function display 44, a second data bus slave for driving an adjustment of the target in the height direction and a third data bus slave for driving the target in the lateral direction.
