The present embodiment discloses an electronic device 10. The electronic device 10 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or other devices requiring access to an identification card.

As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 10 includes a back case 400 and a display screen, wherein the back case 400 is used for fixing the display screen and can form a space together with the display screen for accommodating other components of the electronic device.

The electronic device 10 further includes a storage device 100, and the storage device 100 is used for storing an identification card of the electronic device 10, which may be a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card or other identification card. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the back case 400 serves as the card slot 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the back shell 400 and the card slot 300 may be separate components that are fixedly connected and formed as a single unit only during use.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, referring to fig. 4 as necessary, the storage device 100 includes a card holder 200 and a card slot 300. The card holder 200 is used for holding an identification card, and the card slot 300 is used for accommodating the card holder 200. The card holder 200 is disposed in the card slot 300 in a pluggable manner. When the user needs to access the identification card, the user can access and insert the identification card by pressing the card holder 200.

In the present embodiment, the card holder 200 is switchable between a free state 201 and a fixed state 202. When the card holder 200 is in the free state 201, the card holder 200 is slidably disposed in the card slot 300; when the card holder 200 is in the fixed state 202, the card holder 200 is fixedly connected with the card slot 300.

Through such setting can make the card hold in the palm 200 and the fixed connection of draw-in groove 300, can realize the installation and pop out the identification card, and then realize need not the installation that can solve the identification card with the help of other instruments in the external world and pop out, the operation is simple more convenient.

As shown in fig. 6, fig. 2 and 3 may be referred to as necessary. The card holder 200 is provided with a slide rail assembly 210, and the card slot 300 is provided with a locking mechanism 310. Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the locking mechanism 310 is located on a side wall of the card slot 300 and is disposed opposite to the slide rail assembly 210, and the first rail 2101 and the second rail 2103 are disposed at an interval in the thickness direction H of the card holder 200. With the above arrangement, the lock mechanism can be moved from the first rail 2101 to the second rail 2103.

When the card holder 200 is in the free state 201, the locking mechanism 310 is slidably disposed on the sliding rail assembly 210. When the card holder 200 is in the fixed state 202, the locking mechanism 310 is fixed to the slide rail assembly 210. By arranging the locking mechanism 310 and the slide rail assembly 210, the card holder 200 and the card slot 300 can be slidably connected, and meanwhile, the card holder and the card slot can be fixedly connected.

Slide assembly 210 includes a first rail 2101, a connecting rail 2102, and a second rail 2103. Both ends of the connecting rail 2102 communicate with the first rail 2101 and the second rail 2103. When the card holder 200 is in the free state 201, the locking mechanism 310 is slidably disposed on the first rail 2101 or the second rail 2103; when the card holder 200 is in the fixed state 202, the locking mechanism 310 is fixed to the attachment rail 2102.

In other words, when the card holder 200 is in the free state 201 and the card holder 200 can slide freely on the card slot 300, the lock mechanism 310 can slide freely on the first rail 2101 or the second rail 2103. When the card holder 200 is in the fixed state 202, the card holder 200 is fixed to the card slot 300, i.e., the locking mechanism 310 is fixed to the connecting rail 2102. With such an arrangement, on the one hand, when the card holder 200 needs to be inserted into or pulled out of the card slot 300, the mating relationship of the first rail 2101 and the second rail 2103 with the locking mechanism 310 can ensure smooth sliding of the card holder 200 with respect to the card slot 300. On the other hand, when the card holder 200 needs to be fixed to the card slot 300, the mating relationship between the connecting rail 2102 and the locking mechanism 310 can realize a tight connection between the card holder 200 and the card slot 300.

The length direction L of the first rail 2101 and the second rail 2103 of the slide rail assembly 210 is parallel to the length direction L of the card holder 200, and the card holder 200 includes a first end 230 and a second end 240 along the length direction L. Where attachment rail 2102 is proximate first end 230 and ends of first rail 2101 and second rail 2103 distal from attachment rail 2102 extend to second end 240 of card holder 200, i.e., second ends 240 of first rail 2101 and second rail 2103 extend through second end 240 of card slot 300.

When the card holder 200 is mounted in the card slot 300, the locking mechanism 310 enters the first rail 2101 from the second end 240, the card holder 200 slides toward the inside of the card slot 300 along the direction from the first end 230 to the second end 240, and at this time, the locking mechanism 310 moves from the end of the first rail 2101 near the second end 240 toward the direction near the first end 230, thereby realizing the insertion of the card holder 200 into the card slot 300. When the card holder 200 needs to be taken out, the locking mechanism 310 moves from the first rail 2101 to the second rail 2103, the card holder 200 slides in a direction from the first end 230 to the second end 240 to a direction away from the card slot 300, and at this time, the locking mechanism 310 moves from a direction in which one end of the second rail 2103 close to the first end 230 is close to the second end 240, so that the card holder 200 is taken out. Due to the arrangement, the card holder 200 can be conveniently taken out of the card slot 300, and the card holder 200 can be conveniently placed in the card slot 300, so that the installation and the taking-out of the identification card can be realized.

Note that the lock mechanism 310 is fixed to a side wall surface of the card slot 300, and does not move in the longitudinal direction L of the card holder 200 (i.e., the insertion or extraction direction of the card holder 200). The locking mechanism 310 can only move relative to the card holder 200.

With continued reference to fig. 6, an inwardly recessed detent 250 is provided at the end of the connecting track 2102 adjacent the first track 2101. When the card holder 200 is in the secured state 202, the locking mechanism 310 is secured in the positioning slot 250. Therefore, the card holder 200 and the card slot 300 are fixedly connected, and the fixation of the card holder 200 can realize the communication between the identification card and the electronic device 10.

Specifically, as shown in conjunction with fig. 7 and 8, the detent 250 includes a guide sidewall 2501 distal from the first rail 2101. The guide side wall 2501 is disposed obliquely and extends to the second rail 2103. That is, from a direction away from the first rail 2101, the guide side wall 2501 is gradually raised to extend to the second rail 2103. With the above arrangement, the guide sidewall 2501 functions as a stopper when the card holder 200 is in the fixed state 202. When the card holder 200 is in the free state 201, the locking mechanism 310 may switch to the second track 2103 along the guide sidewall 2501.

In some embodiments, the junction of the guide sidewall 2501 and the second track 2103 forms a step, in other words, the plane in which the guide sidewall 2501 lies is adjacent to the slot 300 relative to the plane in which the second track 2103 lies. Because the connecting track 2102 and the first track 2101 are on the same side, such an arrangement can prevent the locking mechanism 310 from returning to the first track 2101 due to improper operation and the like after entering the second track 2103, and further better realize that the locking mechanism 310 can slide out from the second track 2103, thereby realizing the separation of the card slot 300 and the card holder 200.

As shown in fig. 7, in conjunction with fig. 2 and 3, as necessary. The positioning slot 250 includes a positioning sidewall 251 near the first rail 2101, and the bottom of the card slot 300 is provided with an elastic structure 320, and the elastic structure 320 is used for applying an acting force to the card holder 200 far from the bottom of the card slot 300. When the card holder 200 is in the fixed state 202, the card holder 200 tends to move away from the bottom of the card slot 300 (i.e., vertically upward in fig. 7) under the action of the elastic structure 320, so that the locking mechanism 310 can abut against the positioning sidewall 251 of the positioning slot 250. Through the above arrangement, when the card holder 200 is in the fixed state 202, the elastic structure 320 applies a force to the card holder 200 away from the card slot 300, and the locking mechanism 310 cannot move along the inserting and pulling direction of the card holder 200, so that the card holder 200 and the card slot 300 are better fixed.

In this embodiment, the elastic structure 320 is a spring for applying a force to the card holder 200 away from the bottom of the card slot 300. Meanwhile, when the electronic device 10 is subjected to impact vibration, the spring can be contracted or extended due to stress, so that hard collision between the card holder 200 and the card slot 300 is avoided, and further, even if the electronic device 10 is subjected to impact, the connection can be stable, and the identification card and the electronic device 10 are well communicated.

Referring to fig. 9, the locking mechanism 310 includes an elastic member 330 and a positioning block 340. The positioning block 340 is slidably disposed on the slide rail assembly 210. The two ends of the elastic element 330 are respectively fixedly connected to the side wall of the slot 300 and the positioning block 340, and are used for applying an acting force to the positioning block 340 towards the sliding rail assembly 210. It should be noted that the elastic member 330 may be a spring, and the spring is always in a compressed state. With the above arrangement, when the card holder 200 is in the fixed state, the locking mechanism 310 can better abut against the positioning groove 250, so that the card holder 200 and the card slot 300 can be better fixed, and the identification card can be communicated with the electronic device 10.

In the actual use process, when the identification card needs to be inserted into the electronic device 10, the identification card is first placed in the card holder 200, then the card holder 200 is inserted into the card slot 300, and the card holder 200 contacts with the elastic structure 320 arranged in the card slot 300. At this time, the elastic member 330 in the locking mechanism 310 is in a compressed state, the elastic structure 320 in the card slot 300 is also in a compressed state, and the pushing force of the user's hand is greater than the elastic force of the elastic structure 320, so that the card holder 200 is continuously pushed into the card slot 300 until the locking mechanism 310 enters the positioning slot 250. At this time, since the positioning groove 250 is sunk, the positioning block 340 of the locking mechanism 310 is rapidly introduced into the positioning groove 250 by the elastic force of the elastic member 330 and abuts against the inside of the positioning groove 250. Meanwhile, the positioning block 340 can abut against the positioning sidewall 251 under the cooperation of the elastic structure 320. At this time, the card holder 200 and the card slot 300 can be fixed, so that the card holder 200 cannot move continuously in the inserting and extracting direction of the card holder 200, and the card holder 200 is fixed in the card slot 300, thereby realizing that the identification card is communicated with the electronic device 10.

When the identification card needs to be replaced or removed, the user presses the card holder 200 with a hand, and the elastic structure 320 inside the card slot 300 is compressed to generate a force that moves the card holder 200 away from the card slot 300. When the pushing force of the user is greater than the elastic force of the elastic structure 320, the locking mechanism 310 moves upward along the connecting rail 2102 and gradually moves in the direction of the second rail 2103 through the guide sidewall 2501. At this time, the elastic member 330 in the locking mechanism 310 is compressed to an increased extent due to the guide side wall 2501. Until locking mechanism 310 enters second track 2103 from connecting track 2102. At this time, since there is a height difference at the joint between the connecting rail 2102 and the second rail 2103, the positioning block 340 in the locking mechanism 310 rapidly enters the second rail 2103 under the elastic force of the elastic member 330, so that the card holder 200 is switched to the free state 201, that is, the card holder 200 can be taken out, and the operation of taking out the identification card after pressing is completed.

In some embodiments, since the first rail 2101 and the second rail 2103 are spaced apart by a certain distance, when the lock mechanism 310 needs to be switched from the first rail 2101 to the second rail 2103 by the connecting rail 2102, the lock mechanism 310 needs to swing in the thickness direction H of the card tray 200, or the card tray 200 needs to move in the thickness direction H.

In the present embodiment, the opening formed in the card slot 300 for accommodating the card holder is adapted to the shape of the card holder 200, and no matter the card holder 200 is inserted into or separated from the card slot 300, the card holder 200 does not shake in the thickness direction H inside the card slot 300. When the locking mechanism 310 needs to be switched from the first track 2101 to the second track 2103 through the connecting track 2102, the position of one end of the elastic member 330 fixed to the side wall of the card slot 300 in the locking mechanism 310 is unchanged, and the other end of the elastic member 330 drives the positioning block 340 to swing along the thickness direction H of the card holder 200, so that the positioning block 340 is switched from the first track 2101 to the second track 2103.

In other embodiments, the locking mechanism 310 does not swing, but rather the card holder 200 swings. Specifically, the thickness of the opening formed in the card slot 300 for accommodating the card holder 200 is slightly greater than the thickness of the card holder 200. When the locking mechanism 310 needs to switch from the first track 2101 to the second track 2103 via the connecting track 2102, the cartridge 200 is moved a distance in a direction pointing from the first track 2101 to the second track 2103 to enable the immovable locking mechanism 310 to enter the second track 2103 from the first track 2101. It should be noted that whether the locking mechanism 310 swings with respect to the card slot 300 or the card holder 200 moves in the thickness direction depends on the arrangement of the first rail 2101 and the second rail 2103. This arrangement is provided to allow the locking mechanism 310 to slide smoothly in the first rail 2101 and the second rail 2103, and to allow the card holder 200 to be fixed in the positioning slot 250.

The above description is only exemplary of the present disclosure and should not be taken as limiting the disclosure, as any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure should be included in the scope of the present disclosure.
