Please refer to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a sight 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Before operating the sight 10 to perform trajectory compensation, it must be measured (such as distance or wind speed measurement) And calculation (for example, calculating the corresponding ballistic compensation amount based on the distance or wind speed data) to provide a ballistic compensation amount for the user's reference. Wherein, the sight 10 can be wirelessly connected to an electronic device used by the user for data transmission and division of labor to complete the aforementioned measurement and calculation operations. In some examples, the user uses the sight 10 to perform measurement operations, and the electronic device (such as a mobile phone or computer) performs calculations; in other examples, the user uses the sight 10 to perform calculations. The electronic device (such as a rangefinder or an anemometer) performs measurement operations; in other examples, the user uses the electronic device (such as a mobile phone or computer with measurement functions) to perform measurement and calculation at the same time operation.

During operation, the user will approach an eyepiece unit 16 on the sight 10 to observe the target. At this time, an indicating mechanism 20 will prompt the user of the current connection status of the sight 10 (for example, the electronic device is connected or disconnected). ). In addition, the user can turn an adjusting ring 18 to change the magnification of the sight 10 and can drive the indicating mechanism 20 to move. Therefore, the indicating mechanism 20 can also prompt the user of the current magnification.

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 at the same time. The sight 10 includes a body 12, an inner tube (not shown), an objective lens unit 14, an eyepiece unit 16, an aiming symbol (not shown), and at least one adjustment part (Not shown), an adjusting ring 18, an indicating mechanism 20, two conductors 22, a communication unit (not shown), a power supply unit (not shown), and a control unit (not shown). The assembly of these components is described in detail below: as shown in FIG. 2, the body 12 has a front end 121 and a rear end 123, the objective lens unit 14 is connected to the front end 121, and the eyepiece unit 16 is connected to the rear end 123. The inner lens barrel is arranged in the main body 12, located between the objective lens unit 14 and the eyepiece unit 16, and includes a plurality of lenses. The objective lens unit 14, the inner lens barrel and the eyepiece unit 16 constitute an optical axis (not shown). The aiming symbol may be located between the objective lens unit 14 and the inner lens barrel or between the inner lens barrel and the eyepiece unit 16. The adjusting part is disposed on the main body 12 and abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the inner lens barrel, and can be used to push the inner lens barrel to adjust the position of the optical axis relative to the central axis of the main body 12.

Please refer to FIG. 3A. The main body 12 has two grooves 125, and the conductors 22 are respectively disposed in the grooves 125. Wherein, each of the conductors 22 is an arc-shaped copper sheet extending substantially along the circumference of the main body 12, and the center angle of the arc-shaped copper sheet is approximately 140-160 degrees. In addition, the adjusting ring 18 is rotatably sleeved on the main body 12 to cover the conductors 22 and has a first receiving portion 183. The first receiving portion 183 has two second fixing holes 189 and a second receiving portion 181. The second receiving portion 181 has two first through holes 185 and a first fixing hole 187. Among them, the conductors 22 refer to articles with conductive functions, or can be called conductors, including metals (such as but not limited to: gold, silver, copper, iron...) or non-metals (graphite).

Please refer to FIG. 3B at the same time. The indicating mechanism 20 includes a cover 202, a light transmission element 204, a light emitting element 206, a circuit board 281, two pins 283, a first fixing member 210, a washer 212, and two A second fixing member 214. The circuit board 281 has a second through hole 811 and two guide holes 813. When the indicating mechanism 20 is assembled, the first fixing member 210 passes through the second through hole 811 and is disposed in the first fixing hole 187 to fix the circuit board 281 to the second receiving portion 181. Each of the pins 283 has a first end and a second end (in this embodiment, there are a total of two first ends and two second ends), and the first ends are fixed to the guide holes 813, and the second ends can extend through the first through holes 185 and abut the conductors 22. The light emitting element 206 is disposed on the circuit board 281 and has two pins, and the pins are respectively connected to the pins 283 by wires disposed on the circuit board 281. The gasket 212 surrounds the circuit board 281 and is disposed in the second receiving portion 181. The cover 202 has two third through holes 240 and a third receiving portion 242. The order The two fixing members 214 respectively pass through the third through holes 240 and are disposed in the second fixing holes 189 to fix the cover 202 to the first receiving portion 183. The optical transmission element 204 is disposed in the third receiving portion 242 and has a receiving end 401 and a transmitting end 403. Please refer to FIG. 4, when the light transmission element 204 is disposed in the third receiving portion 242, the receiving end 401 is close to or abutting on the light emitting element 206, and the transmitting end 403 can be seen from the appearance of the sight 10.

In addition, the communication unit, the power supply unit and the control unit are also arranged in the main body 12. The communication unit can be wirelessly connected to the electronic device used by the user to receive or transmit data to the electronic device. The power supply unit is used to supply power to all the electronic components on the sight 10. Note that the light-emitting element 206, the circuit board 281, the pins 283, the conductors 22, the control unit and the power supply unit form a conductive circuit. The control unit can be used to switch the conductive circuit to a conductive state (or a non-conductive state) to control the current provided by the power supply unit to flow (or not flow) the light-emitting element 206, thereby controlling the light-emitting element 206 to emit (or not) Glow). Wherein, the communication unit includes a Bluetooth module, the power supply unit includes a battery, and the control unit includes a switch and a processor.

As shown in Figure 1, after operating the sight 10 to connect with the electronic device, the user can view the pointing mechanism 20 along a direction parallel to the optical axis. Specifically, when the sight 10 is successfully connected to the electronic device through the communication unit, the control unit is triggered to switch the conductive circuit into a conducting state. At this time, current will flow through the light-emitting element 206 and cause the light-emitting element 206 to emit a light beam. The light beam enters the optical transmission element 204 from the receiving end 401, leaves the optical transmission element 204 from the emitting end 403, and then enters an eye of the user close to the eyepiece unit 16, so that the user can see that the emitting end 403 is emitting light. Conversely, when the sight 10 fails to connect to the electronic device through the communication unit (ie disconnection), the control unit is triggered to switch the conductive electrical The road is in a non-conducting state. At this time, current will not flow through the light-emitting element 206, and the light-emitting element 206 will not emit the light beam, and the user will see that the emitter 403 is not emitting light. In short, by confirming whether the transmitter 403 is emitting light from the appearance of the indicating mechanism 20, the user can know whether the sight 10 and the electronic device are currently connected or disconnected.

The light emitting element 206 can be a light emitting diode (LED), and the light transmission element 204 can be an optical fiber. In order to allow the user to see the colored light emitted from the emitting end 403, the light-emitting element 206 may be a colored (for example, red, green or blue) light-emitting diode, and the light transmission element 204 may be a transparent optical fiber. In another embodiment, the light-emitting element 206 may be a white light-emitting diode, and the light transmission element 204 may be a colored optical fiber.

In addition, when the magnification of the sight 10 is to be changed, the adjusting ring 18 is rotated to drive at least one lens in the inner barrel to move the lens in a direction parallel to the optical axis, thereby adjusting the magnification of the sight 10. While the adjustment ring 18 is rotating, the indicating mechanism 20 will also move relative to the main body 12 along the circumferential direction of the main body 12. It should be particularly noted that, since the conductors 22 are substantially arc-shaped extending along the circumferential direction of the main body 12, the pins 283 can continue to abut against the conductors 22 when the indicating mechanism 20 moves. In other words, after the sight 10 is successfully connected to the electronic device, even if the adjusting ring 18 and the indicating mechanism 20 thereon are rotating relative to the body 12, the user can still see the transmitting end from the appearance of the indicating mechanism 20 403 is glowing. In addition, if viewed in conjunction with a magnification scale (not shown) provided on the outer surface of the main body 12, the luminous emitting end 403 can also be used as an indicator light to indicate the current magnification of the sight 10.

In another embodiment, the light emitting element 206 can be a bi-color light emitting diode (Bi-color Light Emitting Diode), and the control unit can be used to control the conductive circuit to switch the light emitting element 206 to emit one of the colors (for example, red or Green) light, prompting the user to aim The current connection status between the calibrator 10 and the electronic device. For example, when the user watches the transmitter 403 emit red light, it means that the sight 10 and the electronic device are disconnected, and when the user sees the transmitter 403 emits green light, it means that the sight 10 and the electronic device emit a green light. The device is connected. With this configuration, even if the sight 10 and the electronic device are in a disconnected state, the indicating structure 20 can still be used as an indicator light for the current magnification of the sight 10. The arrangement and operation of the remaining components are similar to those of the aforementioned first embodiment, so they will not be repeated here.

In yet another embodiment, the control unit can be used to control the conductive circuit to adjust the blinking frequency of the light-emitting element 206, thereby prompting the user of the current connection state of the sight 10 and the electronic device. For example, when the user sees the light emitted by the emitter 403 flickering, it means that the sight 10 and the electronic device are disconnected, and when the user sees the light emitted by the emitter 403 does not flicker, it means the sight 10 is connected to the electronic device. With this configuration, even if the sight 10 and the electronic device are in a disconnected state, the indicating structure 20 can still be used as an indicator light for the current magnification of the sight 10. The arrangement and operation of the remaining components are similar to those of the aforementioned first embodiment, so they will not be repeated here.

In summary, the indicating mechanism 20 provided on the adjusting ring 18 can not only remind the user of the current connection state of the sight 10 and the electronic device, but also serve as an indicator light for the current magnification of the sight 10.
