Abstract

A sighting system includes a sight body, a compensating mechanism, a converting unit, a processing unit and an output unit. The sight body is configured to aim an object. The compensating mechanism is disposed on the sight body and includes a base, an adjusting unit and an adjusting cap, wherein the adjusting cap is configured to rotate the adjusting unit with respect to the base. The converting unit is disposed in the compensating mechanism and is configured to obtain rotation information of the adjusting cap, convert the rotation information into an electrical signal and output the electrical signal. The processing unit is configured to receive the electrical signal for obtaining an instant adjusting value of the adjusting cap and to compare the instant adjusting value with a predetermined adjusting value. The output unit is electrically connected to the processing unit for presenting information for correction of bullet impact points.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sighting system, comprising:
a sight body configured to aim an object;
a compensating mechanism disposed on the sight body and comprising a base, an adjusting unit and an adjusting cap, wherein the adjusting cap is configured to rotate the adjusting unit with respect to the base, so as to correct bullet impact points for the sight body;
a converting unit disposed in the compensating mechanism and configured to obtain rotation information of the adjusting cap, convert the rotation information into an electrical signal and output the electrical signal;
a processing unit configured to receive and process the electrical signal for obtaining an instant adjusting value of the adjusting cap and to compare the instant adjusting value with a predetermined adjusting value;
an output unit electrically connected to the processing unit for presenting information for correction of bullet impact points;
an input unit electrically connected to the processing unit by wire or wireless means, to change fineness of adjustment of the compensating mechanism as displayed on the output unit.

2. The sighting system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processing unit is electrically connected to the converting unit by wire or wireless means.

3. The sighting system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the output unit is electrically connected to the processing unit by wire or wireless means.

4. The sighting system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the output unit comprises a display unit configured to display the instant adjusting value, the predetermined adjusting value or a result of judgment for providing a feedback to a user.

5. The sighting system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the converting unit comprises a reference element and a sensing element, and the sensing element is configured to detect a movement of the reference element for obtaining the rotation information of the adjusting cap.

6. The sighting system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the rotation information of the adjusting cap is angle or number of rotation.

7. The sighting system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the adjusting unit comprises a rotating shaft and an adjusting screw, the rotating shaft is disposed in the base and is provided with a central hole, the adjusting screw is disposed in the central hole, and the adjusting cap is configured to rotate the rotating shaft and the adjusting screw, so that the adjusting screw is axially moved with respect to the base.

8. The sighting system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the reference element is fixed between the adjusting cap and the adjusting unit, and the sensing element is disposed on the adjusting unit, so that the sensing element is rotated and moved with respect to the reference element during a movement of the adjusting unit.

9. The sighting system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the sensing element is fixed between the adjusting cap and the adjusting unit, and the reference element is disposed on the adjusting unit, so that the reference element is rotated and moved with respect to the sensing element during a movement of the adjusting unit.

10. The sighting system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the reference element is a magnet.

11. The sighting system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the sensing element is a Hall-effect detector.

12. The sighting system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the input unit is configured to input the predetermined adjusting value.

13. The sighting system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a distance measuring device electrically connected to the processing unit by wire or wireless means, wherein the processing unit is configured to receive a measuring signal outputted by the distance measuring device, calculate and output the predetermined adjusting value and control the display unit to display the predetermined adjusting value.

14. The sighting system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a wind-speed measuring device electrically connected to the processing unit by wire or wireless means, wherein the processing unit is configured to receive a measuring signal outputted by the wind-speed measuring device, calculate and output the predetermined adjusting value and control the display unit to display the predetermined adjusting value.

15. The sighting system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sight body comprises an inner lens barrel and an outer lens barrel, the inner lens barrel is disposed in the outer lens barrel and comprises a plurality of lenses, the lenses constitute an optical axis, the base is disposed on the outer lens barrel, the adjusting unit is placed against the inner lens barrel, and the adjusting cap is configured to rotate the adjusting unit with respect to the base, so as to adjust the optical axis.

16. The sighting system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein information of correction of bullet impact point comprises the rotation information of the adjusting cap and adjusting information of the optical axis.
