Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a riflescope for bell shooting.
  • the document WO 2016/097992 describes a telescope for shooting in bell including various mirrors, nevertheless, it does not allow to maintain a simultaneous direct view through the telescope and out of the telescope, which can pose difficulties for the initial aiming, especially for strong magnifications , where the field of vision in the telescope is reduced.
  • the figure 1 represents the general bell shooting parameters using a sighting system according to the invention.
  • the figure 2 represents the general bell shooting parameters using another sighting system according to the invention.
  • the figure 3 represents a telescopic sight not forming part of the invention.
  • the figures 4 to 6 represent examples of riflescopes according to the invention.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to replace the overall movement of the telescope by the movement of movable mirrors 60 and 69, making it possible to modify the line of sight 4 relative to the axis of the barrel 13 without moving the optical elements of the bezel. All the elements of the scope of the invention can then advantageously be arranged in a fixed box 14, which increases the robustness of the system.
  • the case 14 is sealed by the presence of a front window 15 and a rear window 16.
  • all of the elements of the bezel, including the mobile elements, are protected from external elements. (humidity, dirt, %), which makes the device particularly robust in aggressive environments (sand winds, rain, snow, ...)
  • the axis of view of the user 1 remains parallel to the axis of the weapon.
  • the position of the first movable mirror 60 is adjusted via a firing table which, to a firing range corresponds to an elevation angle ⁇ .
  • This firing table may for example take the form of a wheel graduated in m, said wheel adjusting the angular position of the first movable mirror 60.
  • the telescopic sight comprises means for adjusting the first mobile mirror 60 comprising a ballistic table and a computer connected to a rangefinder, said computer controlling an actuator adjusting the angular position of the mobile mirror 60 as a function of the range measured and ballistics of the ammunition used.
  • the movable mirror 60 returns the line of sight 4 towards an objective lens 61 cooperating with an ocular lens 63 to return an enlarged image of the targeted scene 2 towards the user 1.
  • the device advantageously comprises a deflection device such as a mirror 62 or a prism.
  • the ocular lens can be replaced by recording means such as a CCD or CMOS photographic sensor.
  • the image formed by the objective lens is formed on the sensor and returned by suitable means of communication to a screen, for example in a control room, or to a control console of the remote-controlled weapon system.
  • the ocular lens 63 can advantageously be a divergent lens defining a so-called Galilean geometry, which has the advantage of producing a straight image of the distant object.
  • This ocular lens can be a simple lens or comprise an achromatic assembly, such as an achromatic doublet or triplet.
  • the inverted image can advantageously be rectified by means of a suitable device, such as an additional lens, or a prism rectification device (Porro, Abbe -Koenig, ).
  • a suitable device such as an additional lens, or a prism rectification device (Porro, Abbe -Koenig, ).
  • the scope of the invention comprises a movable red point superimposed on the target during the aiming.
  • This red point is preferably obtained by a quasi-point light source 30 located in the extension of the optical axis of the eyepiece, behind the deflection device.
  • This may then include a semi-transparent mirror 62 or a separator cube formed by two prisms (not shown).
  • the device then has the advantage that the moving red point remains aligned with the target without having to move it.
  • the light source 30 is located in a plane conjugate to the focal plane of the eyepiece. This conjugation can for example be obtained by the use of a lens 31.
  • the light source can either be formed by a point source such as a small LED, it can include a needle hole controlling its size, or even be part of a bright screen 32 of good resolution (LED, OLED, Backlit LCD, ). In the latter case, other information can be communicated to the user, by superimposing the image on the screen on the image of the target. As will be seen below, this display could for example be used to indicate to the user the angle of superelevation (sometimes incorrectly called according to the English name, cant angle).
  • the scope of the invention also preferably includes a designation / illumination device illuminating the target or producing a luminous "spot" thereon.
  • This illumination is preferably done by means of light outside the visible wavelengths and seen for example by means of night vision goggles.
  • An example of a non-visible wavelength is the use of near infrared (IR). IR lasers of adequate power are preferably used.
  • an illumination light source 65 of adequate wavelength is arranged in the extension of the optical axis of the objective lens 61, behind the deflection device 62.
  • the return device must allow both the return of the image of the target to the eyepiece 63 and the transmission of the illumination beam.
  • This deflection device then also includes a semi-transparent mirror 62 or a separator cube formed by two prisms (not shown). Again the advantage of the device makes it possible to keep this source stationary. This time, the illumination light source 65 is located in the focal plane of the objective lens, or in a plane conjugated therewith.
  • the same semi-transparent mirror can advantageously be used, as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the bright red point and the designation beam can advantageously be moved to correct the azimuthal direction by moving the corresponding light sources laterally in their respective conjugate planes.
  • a second fixed deflection device 68 is added to the optical path of the telescope, returning the image to a second mobile mirror 69 returning the image of the target to the eye of the user.
  • This second movable mirror 69 is slaved to the first so as to maintain an angle of 90 ° between them, so as to maintain the axis of view of the user towards the target.
  • the enslavement of the two reflecting surfaces is obtained by the use of a prism 70 rotating around an axis 75.
  • a prism 70 rotating around an axis 75.
  • Such a device is shown in Figures 5 and 6 .
  • an elevation of an angle ⁇ will be obtained by a rotation of the movable mirror 60 or of the prism 70 by an angle ⁇ / 2.
  • the scope of the invention comprises an inclinometer measuring the cant angle of the weapon and an optical display by means of indications projected from a plane optically conjugated with the focal plane of the ocular lens, the optical display indicating when the superelevation angle is zero.
  • a tilt angle correcting the Magnus effect is determined, the optical display indicating to the user when this tilt angle is reached.
