Card holder connector and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of electronic products, and particularly relates to a card holder connector and electronic equipment.

Background

At present, in order to conform to the development trend of the electronic equipment, the corresponding parts are all miniaturized. Taking a card holder connector of a mobile phone as an example, a double-card double-standby function has become a standard of the mobile phone, and a mode of placing cards in a laminated mode (with small area of a cloth board and high space utilization rate) is generally adopted to replace the original tiled all-in-one card holder scheme so as to vacate more space for layout of batteries, antennas and the like. The conventional design of the stacked card holder generally refers to a stacked two-out-of-three card holder, and the stacked two-out-of-three card holder can selectively place 2 subscriber identity modules (Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) cards or a SIM card and a flash memory (Trans-FLASH CARD, TF) card, so as to meet the card requirement of a user.

However, as electronic devices are being developed in a direction of being thin, light and small, the overall size of the electronic devices is also being reduced, and accordingly, the size of the battery of the electronic devices is also being reduced, which results in a deterioration of the cruising ability of the electronic devices. In order to ensure the cruising ability of the electronic device, the battery size of the electronic device is increased, and the layout space of the battery of the electronic device is limited by the conventional design scheme of the card holder.

As can be seen, the card connector in the related art has a problem of large space occupation.

As shown in fig. 1 to 11, an embodiment of the present application provides a card socket connector, which includes a card socket 10, a card holder 20, and an ejection structure 30, wherein:

The card support 20 comprises a plugboard 21 with a clamping groove, a baffle 22 connected with one end of the plugboard 21, and a limit structure 213 coplanar with the clamping groove at one end of the plugboard 21 away from the baffle 22;

When the insert plate 21 is inserted into the card holder 10, one end of the insert plate 21 away from the baffle 22 is abutted against the card holder 10 through the ejection structure 30, and part of the components of the ejection structure 30 can be accommodated in the limiting structure 213.

In this embodiment, the limit structure 213 is disposed at the end of the first side of the board 21 far away from the baffle 22, so that a part of the component of the ejection structure 30 can be accommodated in the limit structure 213, and compared with the existing end of the board far away from the baffle, which is directly disposed with the part of the component of the ejection structure, the length of the card socket connector in the length direction (i.e. the plugging direction of the card holder) can be reduced, and further the size of the card socket connector in the length direction can be reduced, thereby reducing the installation space required by the card socket connector in the length direction.

Optionally, the card board 21 includes a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, the card slot includes a first card slot 211 disposed on the first side and a second card slot 212 disposed on the second side, the first card slot 211 is used for assembling a first SIM card, the second card slot 212 is used for assembling a second SIM card or TF card, and the limiting structure 213 is disposed coplanar with the first card slot 211.

It will be appreciated that the second card slot 212 is a combination card slot, which can be used for both the second SIM card and the TF card. For example, when the card holder connector is used to implement a dual-card dual-standby function, a first SIM card may be assembled in the first card slot 211, and a second SIM card may be assembled in the second card slot 212; accordingly, in the case that the card holder connector needs to be assembled with the TF card, the first SIM card may be assembled in the first card slot 211, and the TF card may be assembled in the second card slot 212.

Because of the size limitation of the TF card, the standard length of the TF card is generally 15mm, that is, the size of the TF card determines the size of the card holder 20; the size of the SIM card is smaller than that of the TF card, so that the space required by the first card slot 211 on the card holder on the side where the TF card is not arranged can be reduced by adjusting the arrangement direction of the first card slot 211, and the reserved space is used for accommodating other structures, such as accommodating part of the components of the ejection structure 30, so as to reduce the size of the ejection structure 30 in the length direction of the card holder connector, thereby reducing the installation space required by the card holder connector in the length direction.

Specifically, a limiting structure 213 may be disposed at one end of the first side of the board 21 away from the baffle 22, so that a part of the component of the ejection structure 30 may be accommodated in the limiting structure 213, and compared with the existing one end of the board 21 away from the baffle 22, where the part of the component of the ejection structure is disposed, the length of the card socket connector in the length direction (i.e. the plugging direction of the card holder) may be reduced, and further the size of the card socket connector in the length direction may be reduced, and the installation space required by the card socket connector in the length direction may be reduced.

When the card holder connector is applied to electronic equipment such as a mobile phone, the mounting space required by the card holder connector in the length direction is reduced, so that the length layout of a battery of the electronic equipment can be increased, the design volume of the battery can be increased, the capacity of the battery can be further increased, and the purpose of improving the cruising ability of the electronic equipment is achieved.

It can be understood that, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 4, the limiting structure 213 may be an end surface notch disposed on the first side, and the shape of the limiting structure may be adapted to a part of the component of the ejection structure 30 that may be accommodated in the limiting structure 213, so as to reduce the installation space of the ejection structure 30 in the length direction of the card connector, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the overall length of the card connector.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4, the limiting structure 213 is provided with a cross-sectional notch at an end of the insert plate 21 away from the baffle 22.

In some embodiments, a portion of the components of the ejection structure 30 that may be received in the limiting structure 213 may be a lever for ejecting the card holder 20 from the card holder 10. Specifically, the ejector rod of the ejection structure 30 can be pushed to drive the shift lever to move, and the card holder 20 is ejected by the shift lever, so that the card holder 20 is ejected from the card holder 10.

In other embodiments, the baffle 22 may be provided with a jack, and the external ejector pin may act on the ejector rod through the jack, so as to drive the ejector rod to move, and further drive the driving lever to move, so as to eject the card holder 20 from the card holder 10.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 4, the card holder 20 further includes a first limiting beam 214 located between the first clamping groove 211 and the limiting structure 213, where the limiting structure 213 is a sinking platform structure disposed on a side of the first limiting beam 214 away from the baffle 22;

The ejection structure 30 comprises a rotating rod 31 and an ejector rod 32, the rotating rod 31 is at least partially accommodated in the limiting structure 213, the first end of the rotating rod 31 is abutted to the first limiting beam 214, and the other end of the rotating rod 31 is movably connected with the ejector rod 32.

Wherein, the bottom surface of the sinking platform structure and the end surface of the first spacing beam 214 facing away from the second clamping groove 212 may form a step surface, that is, the bottom surface of the sinking platform structure is lower than the end surface of the first spacing beam 214 facing away from the second clamping groove 212, so that the accommodating space formed by the height difference between the bottom surface of the sinking platform structure and the end surface of the first spacing beam 214 facing away from the second clamping groove 212 forms a spacing structure 213, and the accommodating space may be understood as an avoiding space, which may be used for accommodating part of the components of the ejection structure 30. Such as a rotating rod 31 that receives the ejector structure 30.

In this embodiment, the rotating rod 31 may be assembled on the clamping seat 10 or other base by a rivet or a pin, so that the rotating rod 31 may swing rotationally by the rivet or the pin.

It will be appreciated that the rotating lever and the shift lever in this embodiment may be the same type of transmission lever, as long as the ejector clamp 20 can be realized.

Specifically, when the ejector rod 32 is pressed to act in the direction of inserting the card holder 20, the ejector rod 32 may drive the second end of the rotating rod 31 to move in the direction of inserting the card holder 20, the rotating rod 31 begins to swing rotationally relative to the rivet or the pin shaft, the second end of the rotating rod 31 moves in the direction of ejecting the card holder 20, and the first limiting beam 214 is pushed to move in the direction of ejecting the card holder 20, so that the card holder 20 is ejected from the card holder 10.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the side wall of the first limiting beam 214 facing the first clamping groove 211 is provided with an elastic arm 215, and the first limiting beam 214 is provided with a avoiding groove 216 corresponding to the elastic arm 215, where the avoiding groove 216 is used for partially or fully accommodating the elastic arm.

In this embodiment, the elastic arm 215 is provided, so that when the first SIM card is assembled in the first card slot 211, the elastic arm 215 can provide an elastic force, so that the first SIM card can be better fixed in the first card slot 211, and the first SIM card is prevented from being separated from the first card slot 211.

It can be appreciated that the avoiding groove 216 can provide a pre-pressing space for the elastic arm 215, that is, when the first SIM card is assembled in the first card slot 211, the first SIM card will squeeze the elastic arm 215 to move toward the first limiting beam 214, and the avoiding groove 216 has the function of providing a pre-pressing space for the elastic arm 215 when the elastic arm 215 is squeezed by the first SIM card, and improving the assembly efficiency of the first SIM card, so as to avoid the problem of difficult assembly of the first SIM card; and at the same time, the stability of the electrical connection between the first SIM card and the card holder 10 can be improved.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the limiting structure 213 includes a first limiting space 2131 and a second limiting space 2132, and at least a portion of the rotating rod 31 is accommodated in the first limiting space 2131;

The card connector further includes a detecting mechanism (not shown) that can be accommodated in the second limiting space 2132.

In this embodiment, by accommodating the detection mechanism also in the second limiting space 2132, the influence of the detection mechanism on the length design of the card connector can be reduced, thereby reducing the installation space required for the card connector in the length direction. The detection mechanism can be used for detecting the position of the card holder.

In some embodiments, the second limiting space 2132 and the first limiting space 2131 are in a step notch distribution, and the size of the second limiting space 2132 in the length direction of the card socket connector is greater than the size of the first limiting space 2131 in the length direction of the card socket connector.

Further, the end surface of the baffle 22 far away from the plugboard 21 may be set as a first surface, where the front projection of the elastic arm 215 on the first surface and the front projection of the second limiting space 2132 on the first surface are set in a staggered manner, by this setting, the space layout of the first clamping groove 211, the elastic arm 215 and the second limiting space 2132 on the first side of the plugboard 21 may be further improved, so that the second limiting space 2132 has a larger accommodating space, so that the second limiting space 2132 may better accommodate the detection mechanism, and the installation space required by the card connector in the length direction may be further reduced.

Optionally, the front projection of the limiting structure 213 in the first plane is at least partially overlapped with the front projection of the second card slot 212 in the first plane, where the first plane is a plane parallel to the plugging surface of the card 21.

In this embodiment, by providing the first and second card slots 211 and 212 in this manner, the layout design on the board 21 can be further improved.

Further alternatively, the width of the first slot 211 in the first direction is greater than the width of the first slot in the second direction, where the second direction is the insertion and extraction direction of the card 21, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction in the first plane.

In this way, by arranging the first clamping groove 211 transversely relative to the insertion and extraction direction of the plugboard 21, the layout length of the first clamping groove 211 in the length direction of the plugboard 21 can be reduced, and further more space can be reserved on the first side of the plugboard 21 to arrange the limiting structure 213, so that the limiting structure 213 is increased, and further, part of components of the ejection structure 30 can be accommodated in the limiting structure 213 to the greatest extent, so that the installation space required by the card connector in the length direction is further reduced.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, the card holder 10 is provided with first terminal pins 11 corresponding to the first card slot 211, and the first terminal pins 11 are distributed along the first direction.

In this embodiment, in the case where the first card slot 211 is arranged in the lateral direction of the insertion direction of the card board 21, the first terminal pins 11 electrically connected to the first SIM card in the card holder 10 may also be distributed in the lateral direction of the insertion direction of the card board 21, so as to make the first terminal pins 11 electrically connected to the first SIM card better.

The lateral distribution is understood to be the left-right direction in fig. 3.

Further, the distribution of the first terminal pins 11 in the present application can be understood as the orientation of the first terminal pins.

The card holder 10 further includes a second terminal pin for electrically connecting with the second SIM card, and a third terminal pin for electrically connecting with the TF card.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 6 to 9, a locking structure 218 is disposed on a second limiting beam 217 of the second card slot 212, where the second limiting beam 217 is a limiting beam of the second card slot 212 parallel to the insertion and extraction direction of the card board 21;

In this embodiment, by providing the locking structure 218, when the second SIM card or TF card is assembled in the second card slot 212, the second SIM card or TF card can be better fixed in the second card slot 212, and the stability of the electrical connection between the second SIM card or TF card and the card holder 10 can be improved.

Moreover, by providing the elastic member 2182, a pre-pressing space can be provided for the second SIM card or TF card, so that the second SIM card or TF card can be better assembled in the second card slot 212 through the guide post 2181.
