Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic card connector, which is arranged on an electronic device, and comprises a shell with a card slot, an insulator body assembled at one end of the card slot, and a conductive terminal accommodated in the insulator body, wherein the shell is formed by a shell of the electronic device. The shell of the electronic device is taken as the shell of the card connector, so the thickness of the connector is reduced and the weight of the whole electronic device is lightened.

Description

Electronic card coupler

[technical field]

The present invention relates to a kind of electronic card coupler, refer in particular to a kind of electronic card coupler that is used for expanded function.

[background technology]

Now, electronic installations such as computer are extensive use in various fields, becomes indispensable instrument and recreational facilities in people's life.Along with demands of applications, the new function of various electronic installations is developed gradually, wherein, is applied to EXPRESS CARD on the computer and is the electronic cards of at present the most frequently used expansion computer function.This kind design can make the older computer of style by this kind electronic cards and the function of expansion itself.Corresponding, need to be equipped with in advance the EXPRESS CARD that EXPRESS CARD connector has expanded function with acceptance on the computer.

Along with electronic installations such as notebook computer to thickness and weight require more and more higher, the card connector that is installed on the electronic installation such as computer also needs to improve the requirement that adapts to thickness and weight.Similar card connectors such as traditional E XPRESSCARD CONN. constitute a card slot with metal-back on one and metal-back once, again in the terminal insulating body that contains conducting terminal of installing of slot.This kind design is wayward for the weight and the thickness of similar connectors such as CARD CONN., can not satisfy the lightening growth requirement of electronic installations such as notebook computer.

Therefore, be necessary to propose a kind of novel electron card connector, to address the above problem.

[summary of the invention]

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of electronic card coupler that serves as the housing of electronic card coupler by electronic device housing.

The technical scheme that realizes purpose of the present invention is: a kind of electronic card coupler, it is installed on the electronic installation, comprise the housing, the insulating body that is assembled in card slot one end that are provided with card slot, be contained in the conducting terminal in the insulating body, wherein, described housing is made of the shell of electronic installation.

Compared with prior art, the present invention has following beneficial effect: serve as the shell body of card connector by the shell of electronic installation, the thickness that has reduced connector has alleviated the weight of whole electronic installation simultaneously.

Fig. 2 is the exploded view of electronic card coupler as shown in Figure 1;

Fig. 3 is the stereogram of electronic card coupler as shown in Figure 1.

[embodiment]

See also Fig. 1 to shown in Figure 3, the utility model electronic card coupler 100 includes housing 1, insulating body 2, is contained in the conducting terminal of insulating body 2 (not label), trip mechanism 3 and printed circuit board (PCB) 4, and wherein, housing 1 constitutes a card slot 6.

See also shown in Figure 2ly, housing 1 is served as by the shell of notebook computer, includes upper shell 11 and lower house 12, and the last plane 110 of upper shell 11 is the outer surface of notebook computer shell, and lower plane (not label) is provided with two ribs 111.The lower surface of lower house 12 (not label) is the outer surface of notebook computer, includes installation portion 120 and receiving portion 122, and installation portion 120 in the vertical directions are lower than receiving portion 122, constitute step-like between the two.Receiving portion 122 is provided with dual-side 123, and side 123 is corresponding with above-mentioned rib 111, and side 123 and rib 111 constitute the two side of card slots 6.Inboard in dual-side 123 also is provided with raised line 124, and raised line 124 is near the inner surface of side 123, and in the vertical direction is lower than side 123.Constitute step-like between raised line 124 and the side 123.Said structure shows that raised line 124 is positioned at card slot 6.Sidewall can be formed by one of upper shell or lower house, and extends to relative housing direction.

Insulating body 2 is installed on the printed circuit board (PCB) 4, and conducting terminal is contained in insulating body 2.This insulating body 2 has tongue piece docking section 21, and this docking section 21 is used for and the respective electronic card docking, and the tongue piece docking section 21 of insulating body 2 can be docked with the standard docking port of express card herein, butt joint back transmission signals.

Trip mechanism 5 also is installed in close insulating body 2 on the printed circuit board (PCB), and trip mechanism 5 is a legacy card push-push type trip mechanism.Being contained in electronic cards and moving back of trip mechanism 5 in the card slot 6 can be in into card and move back two kinds of positions of card after card 51 cooperates.Contact with moving back card 51 after card slot 6 enters this electronic card coupler 100 in electronic cards, electronic cards was in and moved back card position this moment.Along with electronic cards continues to be pushed into, move back card 51 beginnings along with electronic cards is pushed together.When electronic cards is in into card position, moves back card 51 and locked by trip mechanism 5.When electronic cards is pushed once more, move back card 51 and promoted by electronic cards, at this moment, trip mechanism 5 is removed moving back the locking of card 51, and immediately, trip mechanism 5 drives and moves back card 51 to moving in the opposite direction with plug-in card side.Move back card 51 and promote electronic cards move together in moving process, electronic cards is moved back card 51 and is passed and move back card position from advancing card position.This process is promptly blocked the course of work of push-push type trip mechanism.Trip mechanism is installed on the printed circuit board (PCB) on 4 among this embodiment, and in other embodiments, this trip mechanism can certainly be installed in other positions, on upper shell 11, lower house 12 or other suitable structures.

Printed circuit board (PCB) 4 is installed on the installation portion 120 of lower house 12, and insulating body 2 is in the end of card slot 6.After electronic cards was inserted slot 6, raised line 123 cooperated the step of electronic cards side.

Housing 1 is the shell that notebook computer is arranged, and its material can be plastic cement, alloy material or other materials that is fit to.Card slot 6 has the electrostatic screen effect, if housing 1 is to make with the material that plastic cement etc. does not have an EMI suppression effect, then can add analog realization electrostatic screen effects such as aluminium foil in card slot 6 in.Electronic card coupler 100 described in the present embodiment also can be applied to other electronic installation, and the housing 1 of this electronic card coupler 100 is served as by the shell of this electronic installation.
