DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are shown in the drawings in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure and are not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0027] In the description of the present disclosure, it is to be understood that the terms “length”, “width”, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer”, “lateral”, “transverse” etc. indicate the orientations or positional relationships on the basis of the drawings. These terms are only intended for facilitating illustrating the present application and simplifying the illustration, rather than indicating or implying that the devices or elements referred thereto have to present particular orientations, and be constructed and operated in particular orientations, and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0028] In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are only intended for illustrative purposes, rather than being construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly designating the number of the technical features as indicated. Thus, the features modified by “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more said feature. In the description of the present disclosure, the term “a plurality of” means two or more than two, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically defined.

[0029] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and defined, the terms “mounted to”, “connected to”, “coupled” and “fixed” should be understood in a broad sense, for example, fixedly connected or detachably connected, or integrated; mechanically connected or electrically connected; directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or in an interior communication or mutual interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above-described terms in the present disclosure may be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In the related art, while the optical sighting device such as the red dot optic sighting device brings convenience to operation, it also comes with a series of potential failure risks. These failure risks include, but are not limited to: failure of the optic sighting device due to depletion of the battery, malfunction of the internal circuit, failure of its function due to external force impact, and lens detachment due to poor manufacturing quality control. These failures are especially fatal in emergency situations and may result in complete failure of the optic sighting device, which seriously affects the execution of the shooting task.

[0031] In addition, some red dot optic sighting device designs directly integrate a mechanical rear sight on the base of the red dot optic sighting device. Although it seems that the two aiming methods are integrated, in actual use, the rear sight will often block a part of the field of view of the optic sighting device, which brings unnecessary aiming interference to the shooter, and reduces the accuracy and efficiency of aiming.

[0032] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, specific embodiments of a liftable sight assembly and an optic sighting device provided by the present disclosure are shown in the figures.

[0033] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure provides a liftable sight assembly.

[0034] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the liftable sight assembly includes: a base 1, a sight block 2, and an operation component 3.

[0035]A receiving space 110 is formed in the base 1. A lifting channel 120 is also formed in the base 1. The lifting channel 120 extends downward from an upper surface of the base 1 to communicate with the receiving space 110. An operation hole 130 is also formed in the base 1. The operation hole 130 extends from a lateral surface of the base 1 to the receiving space 110 to communicate with the receiving space 110.

[0036]The sight block 2 is movably mounted in the receiving space 110. The sight block 2 includes an aiming portion 210. The aiming portion 210 extends to the upper surface of the base 1 through the lifting channel 120. The aiming portion 210 protrudes out upward from the upper surface of the base 1 when the sight block 2 moves upward, and retracts downward into the lifting channel 120 when the sight block 2 moves downward.

[0037] The operation component 3 is mounted in the operation hole 130 and extends to a position adjacent to the sight block 2. The operation component 3 cooperates with the sight block 2 to move the sight block 2 in the receiving space 110.

[0038] In an embodiment, the sight block 2 can include two aiming portions 210 spaced from each other, so that the user can aim through a gap position between the two aiming portions 210. The operation component 3 is configured for controlling the movement of the sight block 2. When the sight block 2 moves upward, the aiming portions 210 protrude out from the base 1 and become visible; and when the sight block 2 moves downward, the aiming portions 210 are hidden in the base 1. Therefore, the user can show or hide the aiming portions 210 by operating the operation component 3 according to actual needs, thereby avoiding the inconvenience that the aiming portions 210 block the field of view or needs to be frequently mounted and dismounted. In an embodiment, a first elastic member 4 is connected to the sight block 2 and configured for resiliently resetting the sight block 2. In an embodiment, the first elastic member 4 can make the sight block 2 tend to move downward or upward according to the position where the first elastic member 4 is mounted, so that the aiming portions 210 of the sight block 2 can quickly eject out from or automatically retract in the base 1.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 3, in an embodiment, the first elastic member 4 is disposed under the sight block 2, and a limiting assembly 5 is disposed at a lateral surface of the sight block 2. When the aiming portions 210 are received in the lifting channel 120, the limiting assembly 5 is inserted in the operation hole 130 and stuck therein. When the operation component 3 presses the limiting assembly 5 to disengage the limiting assembly 5 from the operation hole 130, the aiming portions 210 eject upward under the elastic force of the first elastic member 4. In the present embodiment, the first elastic member 4 is disposed under the sight block 2, so that the sight block 2 tends to move upward. In order to stably limit the sight block 2 to the bottom of the receiving space 110 when hiding the aiming portions 210, the limiting assembly 5 is disposed at the lateral surface of the sight block 2 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, in an initial state, the aiming portions 210 are in a protruding state, i.e., an ejection state, under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic member 4. When the aiming portions 210 need to be hidden, a force can be applied downward on the aiming portions 210 to press the aiming portions 210, so that the whole sight block 2 is moved downward against the elastic force of the first elastic member 4. When the sight block 2 is moved to a position where the limiting assembly 5 faces the operation hole 130, the limiting assembly 5 inserts into the operation hole 130 to limit the aiming portions 210 in the hiding position, i.e., in a received state, as shown in FIG. 4. When the aiming portions 210 need to be used, the operation component 3 is operated to press the limiting assembly 5 in the operation hole 130, so that the limiting assembly 5 is disengaged from the operation hole 130, and the sight block 2 is released from the stuck state, At the same time, under the action of the elastic force of the first elastic member 4, the sight block 2 is moved upward to let the aiming portions 210 eject. Thus, the aiming portions 210 can be stably switched between the received state and the ejection state. In the present embodiment, the first elastic member 4 can be a spring.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 3, in an embodiment, a limiting hole 220 is formed on the lateral surface of the sight block 2. The limiting assembly 5 includes a second elastic member 510 and a limiting member 520 which are mounted in the limiting hole 220. When the aiming portions 210 are received in the lifting channel 120, the limiting member 520 is inserted in the operation hole 130 and stuck therein. In the present embodiment, the second elastic member 510 and the limiting member 520 are mounted in the limiting hole 220 to achieve a resilient limiting effect of the limiting member 520. When the aiming portions 210 are pressed downward with a force, the sight block 2 is moved downward. When the sight block 2 is moved to a position where the limiting member 520 faces the operation hole 130, the limiting member 520 ejects transversely from the limiting hole 220 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 510, and is inserted and stuck in the operation hole 130. When the operation component 3 transversely presses the limiting member 520, the limiting member 520 can be moved toward the limiting hole 220 against the elastic force of the second elastic member 510. When the limiting member 520 moves to a position where the limiting member 520 is disengaged from the operation hole 130, the sight block 2 is released from the stuck state, and ejects upward under the elastic force of the first elastic member 4. In the present embodiment, the second elastic member 510 can be a spring.

[0041]Referring to FIG. 3, in an embodiment, the operation component 3 includes an operation button 310 located at an outer end of the operation hole 130, and an operation rod 320 connected to the operation button 310. The operation rod 320 is sleeved with a third elastic member 330. When the operation button 310 is pressed, the third elastic member 330 is compressed, and the operation rod 320 moves toward an inner end of the operation hole 130 and presses the limiting assembly 5. In the present embodiment, when the operation button 310 is pressed transversely from the outside of the base 1, the operation rod 320 moves transversely and compresses the third elastic member 330, and an inner end of the operation rod 320 presses the limiting member 520 to disengage the limiting member 520 from the operation hole 130, thereby releasing the limiting assembly 5. In the present embodiment, the third elastic member 330 can be a spring.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in another embodiment, the first elastic member 4 is disposed on top of the sight block 2, and the sight block 2 has a lateral surface including a first inclined surface 230. When the operation component 3 presses the first inclined surface 230, the first elastic member 4 is compressed, and the aiming portions 210 protrude out upward. In the present embodiment, the first elastic member 4 disposed on top of the sight block 2 abuts against an upper end surface of the receiving space 110, so that the sight block 2 tends to move downward. When the user operates the operation component 3 to let an inner end thereof press the first inclined surface 230 of the sight block 2, a transverse force applied by the operation component 3 is converted into a vertical force through the first inclined surface 230, driving the sight block 2 to move upward, so that the sight block 2 moves upward against the elastic force of the first elastic member 4 to let the aiming portions 210 protrude out from the base 1. When the operation component 3 retracts, the sight block 2 moves downward under the elastic force of the first elastic member 4 to hide the aiming portions 210 in the base 1. In the present embodiment, the first elastic member 4 can be a spring.

[0043]Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in an embodiment, the operation component 3 includes a first screw 340 extending from the outer end of the operation hole 130 to the receiving space 110. An abutment head 350 is disposed at an end of the first screw 340 adjacent to the first inclined surface 230. The abutment head 350 presses the first inclined surface 230 when the first screw 340 is rotated. In the present embodiment, when the first screw 340 is rotated, the first screw 340 drives the abutment head 350 in a screw-driven manner to let the abutment head 350 press the first inclined surface 230 or move away from the first inclined surface 230, so as to control the sight block 2 to move upward and downward.

[0044] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure provides an optic sighting device. The optic sighting device includes the liftable sight assembly of any one of the above embodiments.

[0045]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the optic sighting device includes the liftable sight assembly, and can further include an optic sighting body 10 disposed on the base 1, a light holder 6, an up-down adjusting assembly 7, and/or a left-right adjusting assembly 8. The light holder 6 is disposed in the base 1. The up-down adjusting assembly 7 is configured for moving the light holder 6 upward and downward, and is disposed on the upper surface of the base 1. The left-right adjusting assembly 8 is configured for moving the light holder 6 leftward and rightward, and is disposed on the lateral surface of the base 1. The left-right adjusting assembly 8 can also be referred to as windage adjusting assembly, and the up-down adjusting assembly 7 can also be referred to as elevation adjusting assembly. In the present embodiment, the up-down adjusting assembly 7 and the left-right adjusting assembly 8 are used to achieve fine adjustment of the position the light holder 6 in the up, down, left, and right directions, thereby realizing accurate position adjustment of the light holder 6 in the base 1 to ensure the aiming accuracy.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 8, in an embodiment, the up-down adjusting assembly 7 includes a second screw 710, and a first adjusting block 720 screwed to the second screw 710 and connected to the light holder 6. The left-right adjusting assembly 8 includes a third screw 810, and a second adjusting block 820 screwed to the third screw 810 and connected to a lateral surface of the light holder 6. In the present embodiment, when the second screw 710 is rotated from the upper surface of the base 1, the first adjusting block 720 connected to the second screw 710 moves upward or downward with the second screw 710, and the light holder 6 connected to the first adjusting block 720 also moves upward or downward synchronously. When the third screw 810 is rotated from the lateral surface of the base 1, the second adjusting block 820 connected to the third screw 810 moves leftward or rightward with the third screw 810, and the light holder 6 connected to the second adjusting block 820 also moves leftward or rightward synchronously.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 8, in an embodiment, an error elimination assembly 9 is disposed at an oblique side of an end of the light holder 6 away from the second adjusting block 820. The error elimination assembly 9 includes a fourth elastic member 910 and an error elimination block 920. The error elimination block 920 abuts against a second inclined surface 610 of the light holder 6. In the present embodiment, the error elimination block 920 obliquely abuts against the second inclined surface 610 of the light holder 6 under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 910. When adjusting the vertical position of the light holder 6 with the up-down adjusting assembly 7, vertical friction is generated between the second inclined surface 610 and the error elimination block 920. When adjusting the transverse position of the light holder 6 with the left-right adjusting assembly 8, the second inclined surface 610 moves in a direction toward or away from the error elimination block 920 to compress or release the fourth elastic member 910, so as to ensure that the error elimination block 920 can eliminate the accuracy influence caused by the tolerance while providing space in the base 1 for fine adjustment of the light holder 6, thereby ensuring the aiming accuracy. In the present embodiment, the fourth elastic member 910 can be a spring.

[0048] In view of the above, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a liftable sight assembly and an optic sighting device. By providing the sight block 2, which can move upward and downward, the aiming portions 210 can protrude or retract under the driving of the operation component 3, so that the sight block 2 can be flexibly shown or hidden based on actual needs. By providing the first elastic member 4, the sight block 2 can be automatically reset to its initial position. By providing the limiting assembly 5, the sight block 2 can be stably fixed in the received state. By providing the operation button 310, the ejection of the sight block 2 can be controlled by simply pressing the operation button 310. By providing the up-down adjusting assembly 7 and the left-right adjusting assembly 8 in the optic sighting device, the fine adjustment of the position of the light holder 6 in the base 1 can be realized. By providing the error elimination assembly 9, the precision influence caused by the tolerance of different parts can be eliminated. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sight block can be flexibly shown or hidden according to actual needs, so that the reliability of mechanical aiming is retained, while the problem of view blocking during optical aiming is avoided, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of aiming.

[0049] The embodiments described above are only some specific implementations of the disclosure, and the usual changes and replacements made by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of the disclosure.
