The elastic member is connected to the tray 30, that is, the elastic member does not move, but the elastic member can extend and compress by its elasticity, and the elastic member may be a spring or a soft material member, such as silicone rubber, etc.

Specifically, the moving member 10 pushes the elastic member abutting against the moving member 10 under the pushing of the thimble, so that the elastic member is stressed and compressed, and the moving member 10 rotates. The acting force of the thimble acting on the moving element 10 pushes the moving element 10 to abut against the PCB board 1, and the reaction force generated by the PCB board 1 pushes the door panel 20 and the tray 30 connected with the door panel 20 to move in the direction away from the PCB board 1. When the acting force acting on the moving member 10 disappears, the moving member 10 does not press the elastic member any more, and the compressed elastic member is extended due to the disappearance of the acting force, thereby pushing the moving member 10 abutting against the compressed elastic member to reset.

Referring to fig. 4 to 9, in another embodiment of the present invention, a card tray is adapted to a card seat disposed on a PCB board in a mobile terminal, the card tray includes a door 20, a movable member 10 and a tray 30, the door 20 is connected to one end of the tray 30, the door is provided with a through hole 21 for passing an ejector pin, and the tray 30 is provided with a mounting hole 50 for connecting the movable member 10. The movable member 10 includes a first connecting member 11 and a second connecting member 12 which rotate coaxially, the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 12 are distributed on two sides of the tray 30, a connecting end of the first connecting member 11 and a connecting end of the second connecting member 12 are fixedly connected and hinged in the mounting hole 50, and a movable end of the first connecting member 11 is opposite to the through hole 21 and abuts against the elastic member 40. When the movable end of the first connecting member 11 is pushed by the thimble, the movable end of the first connecting member 11 rotates to abut against the PCB 1, and pushes the tray 30 to move in a direction away from the PCB 1.
