As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the support 210 includes a bracket 211 and a housing 212 covering the bracket 211. Wherein, a second sealing ring 213 is arranged at the joint of the bracket 211 and the housing 212. The connection tightness between the holder 211 and the housing 212 is optimized by the second sealing ring 213.

Referring to fig. 4, the holder 211 is formed with a first mounting cavity 211 a. The housing 212 is provided with an opening communicating with the first mounting cavity 211a to form an insertion hole 210x of the support 210. When the support member 210 is ejected out of the main body, the opening is completely exposed to the outside of the main body, so that the user can easily remove the card holder 220 in the first mounting cavity 211 a.

And, the holder 211 is also formed with a second mounting cavity 211 b. The housing 212 is provided with a light-transmitting region 212 a. For example, a cover glass is disposed on the housing 212 to form the light-transmitting region 212 a. The light-transmitting region 212a is disposed corresponding to the second mounting cavity 211b of the holder 211. The second mounting cavity 211b is used for mounting the camera module 400, and the lens in the camera module 400 is disposed toward the light-transmitting area 212 a.

In this manner, the camera module 400 is mounted on the support 210, that is, the camera module 400 and the card socket 200 are integrated. Further, when the card socket 200 is ejected out of the body, the camera module 400 is ejected out of the body synchronously. Therefore, the number of the holes matched with the camera module on the body can be reduced. For example, when the camera module 400 is used as a front camera, no opening is required to be formed in the display panel; when camera module 400 is used for the rear camera, need not to set up the trompil on the back lid.

The terminal device further comprises a flat cable 500, wherein the flat cable 500 is electrically connected with the image sensor, and data communication between the processor and the image sensor in the terminal device is realized to acquire an image signal output by the image sensor. The flat cable 500 is also electrically connected to the data interface, so that the processor in the terminal device is electrically connected to the data interface to read and write the SIM card or the memory card.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5, the second mounting cavity 211b communicates with the first mounting cavity 211 a. Specifically, the side of the second mounting cavity 211b opposite to the light-transmitting region 212a communicates with the first mounting cavity 211 a. One surface of the flat cable 500 faces the first mounting cavity 211a and is electrically connected to the image sensor in the camera module 400; the other side of the flat cable 500 faces the second mounting cavity 211b and is electrically connected to the data interface 230. The first mounting cavity 211a is communicated with the second mounting cavity 211b, so that the camera module 400 and the card holder 200 can be connected by using a group of flat cables 500. Accordingly, the overall thickness of the supporting member 210 is reduced, and the occupied space of the supporting member 210 in the terminal equipment is saved.

With continued reference to fig. 4, the card holder 220 includes a first portion 221 and a second portion 222. The first portion 221 is provided with a mounting groove 221 a. The mounting slot 221a is used to mount a SIM card or a memory card. Optionally, an error-proofing structure is provided on the mounting groove 221a in order to accurately mount the SIM card or the memory card.

The second portion 222 is connected to the first portion 221, and is used for bearing an external force to drive the first portion 221 to be separated from the insertion hole 210 x. Fig. 7-1 and 7-2 are schematic views of structures of card holders according to various exemplary embodiments. In the disclosed embodiment, a different implementation is provided with respect to the second portion 222.

In one example, as shown in fig. 7-1, the end of the second portion 222 remote from the first portion 221 has a downwardly projecting protrusion 222 a. When the card holder 200 is inserted into the insertion hole 210x, the protrusion 222a is clipped around the insertion hole 210x of the support member 210. Specifically, the projection 22a is snapped around the opening in the housing 212.

By providing the protruding portion 222a on the second portion 222, the user can apply force to the card holder 220 to pull the card holder 220 out of the insertion hole 210 x. Optionally, one surface of the protrusion 222a clamped with the housing 212 is an inclined surface, so that a gap gradually decreasing from bottom to top is formed between the protrusion 222a and the housing 212, which is convenient for a user to apply force, and further optimizes user experience.

In one example, as shown in fig. 7-2, an end surface of the second portion 222 distal from the first portion 221 includes a slope surface 222b, and an inclination direction of the slope surface 222b is configured to: the thickness of the portion of the second portion 222 away from the first portion 221 is smaller than the thickness of the portion of the second portion 222 close to the first portion 221. Accordingly, when the card holder 220 is inserted into the insertion hole 210x, the end surface of the card holder 220 is retracted, allowing an external object (e.g., a user's finger) to be inserted into the insertion hole 210 x.

The second portion 222 is further provided with a first groove 222c connected to the inclined surface 222 b. At this time, the first groove 222c forms a locking position, and the card holder 220 can be drawn out of the insertion hole 210x by an external object locking an edge where the first groove 222c and the slope 222b are connected.

Further, as shown in fig. 7-1 and 7-2, a first seal ring 223 is provided on the card holder 220. Optionally, the first sealing ring 223 is sleeved outside the card holder 220. And, a second groove 211c is provided at an inner wall of the second mounting cavity 211b, and the second groove 211c receives the first sealing ring 223 in a state that the holder 220 is positioned in the insertion hole 210 x.

The card holder 220 is stably seated in the insertion hole 210x by the cooperation of the first sealing ring 223 and the second groove 211 c. Also, since the card socket 200 is integrated with the camera module 400, the card socket 200 may be ejected out of the body in the case of starting the camera module 400. In this case, the first sealing ring 223 and the second groove 211c optimize the connection sealing performance of the card holder 220 and the support 210, and improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the terminal device.

To sum up, the terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure drives the card socket 200 to pop out of the body through the driving module 300, so that the user can install and detach the SIM card or the memory card.
