Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 is a partial structure diagram of a typical card holder, and fig. 3 is a model diagram of force and bending moment of the elastic abutting member in fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 2, in a typical embodiment, the card holder 01 is provided with an elastic abutment portion 011 having two root portions 011a and one abutting portion 011b, both the portions 011a being fixedly provided and the SIM card being positioned in abutment by elastic deformation of the abutting portion 011 b.

In the above-described exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the elastic contact member 011 is a statically indeterminate beam with three degrees, L1 is a dimension of the elastic contact member 011 in the extending direction thereof, and M is a bending moment of the elastic contact member 011 at each position in the extending direction thereof. After being abutted and assembled with the SIM card, the abutting part 011b is deformed by the acting force F, correspondingly, the two root parts 011a are deformed, the two root parts 011a and the abutting part 011b generate larger bending stress, the elastic abutting part 011b is easy to yield and crack, the SIM card cannot be reliably fixed, the signal transmission stability of the SIM card can be influenced, and the electronic equipment 100 cannot be normally used.

In view of the above, the prior art adopts a high-elongation and high-strength material to prepare the elastic abutting member, which prolongs the service life of the elastic abutting member to a certain extent, but causes a significant increase in material cost, and the high-elongation and high-strength material is not easy to directly form the appearance surface of the card holder, and requires repeated processing and multiple forming during preparation, resulting in high process complexity.

Therefore, the card support provided by the embodiment of the application adopts the elastic abutting part in the form of the cantilever beam to replace the hyperstatic beam in the prior art, so that the constraint of the elastic abutting part can be reduced, the stress of the elastic abutting part is changed from multi-directional complex deformation into pure bending, the bending stress applied to the elastic abutting part can be greatly reduced, and the fracture and yield risks can be reduced. Thus, the use requirement can be met by using the conventional material with low modulus and low yield strength, the cost of the elastic abutting part can be effectively reduced, and the processing technology can be simplified. In addition, the size of the cantilever beam in the extending direction is smaller than that of the statically indeterminate beam in the prior art, materials can be saved, the cost can be further reduced, and meanwhile, the weight is favorably reduced, so that the light weight is realized.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a card holder according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 5 is a model diagram of stress and bending moment of the elastic abutting member in fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the card holder 1 includes a body 11, the body 11 includes a stopping portion 111 and a bearing portion 112, and the body 11 can be inserted into the insertion hole of the housing 101. The stopping portion 111 may abut against an inner wall of the insertion hole to limit the depth of the card holder 1 inserted into the housing 101 in the Y-axis direction. The carrier 112 is formed with a bracket 112a, and the bracket 112a is used for mounting a SIM card. In some embodiments, the wall surface of the bearing part 112 in the X-axis direction may be configured with a clamping structure for mounting and fixing the card holder 1 inside the housing 101.

The surface of the stopping portion 111 away from the bearing portion 112 forms an appearance surface of the electronic device 100, the surface shape of the surface can be matched with the housing 101, and after the insertion is completed, the surface of the stopping portion 111 away from the bearing portion 112 is substantially flush with the outer wall surface of the housing 101, so that the electronic device 100 can have a relatively good appearance effect. Moreover, since the card holder 1 does not form a protruding structure on the outer wall surface of the housing 101, when the electronic device 100 is in normal use, the card holder 1 will not collide with the limb organs (such as fingers and palms) of the user and other environmental components (such as seats, chairs, floors, mobile phone shells, etc.), on one hand, the harm to the user can be reduced, and on the other hand, the adverse effects on the installation reliability of the card holder 1 and the signal transmission stability of the SIM card can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the blocking portion 111 may further be provided with an operation hole (not shown in the drawings), and a user may insert an operation tool such as a paper clip or a steel wire into the operation hole to pull the card holder 1 out of the insertion hole.

The above-mentioned card holder 1 can also be provided with elastic abutment members 12 in the form of cantilever beams. With reference to fig. 4, the elastic contact member 12 includes a root 125 and a contact portion 126, the elastic contact member 12 can be connected to the body 11 through the root 125 to form a cantilever structure, and the elastic contact member 12 can elastically contact the peripheral wall of the SIM card through the contact portion 126.

With reference to fig. 5, L2 is a dimension of the elastic abutting member 12 in the extending direction thereof in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, after the card holder 1 is assembled with the SIM card, the abutting portion 126 receives the acting force F and rotates around the root portion 125, the deformation mode is pure bending deformation, the elastic abutting portion 12 mainly has bending stress at the root portion 125, and basically has no bending stress at the abutting portion 126, the bending stress received by the elastic abutting portion 12 can be greatly reduced, and the risk of fracture and yielding can be reduced, so as to prolong the service life of the elastic abutting portion 12, and improve the installation reliability of the SIM card and the stability of signal transmission, so as to be beneficial to ensuring the normal use of the electronic device 100. Moreover, since the performance of the elastic abutting part 12 is improved due to the structural improvement, the elastic abutting part 12 does not need to be prepared by using a material with high elongation and high strength, that is, a conventional material with low modulus and low yield strength can meet the use requirement, so that the preparation cost of the card holder 1 can be effectively reduced, and the processing and forming process can be simplified.

In addition, as can be seen from comparing the solutions in fig. 2 and fig. 4, the dimension L2 of the elastic abutting part 12 in the form of a cantilever beam in the X-axis direction is smaller than the dimension L1 of the statically indeterminate beam in the prior art, and therefore, the card holder 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application can also save materials, and can further reduce the manufacturing cost. Meanwhile, the reduction in size also reduces the weight, which is also advantageous in achieving the lightweight of the card holder 1 and the electronic apparatus 100. The specific dimension of the elastic abutment member 12 in the X-axis direction in the embodiment of the present application is not limited herein.

The resilient abutment 12 has an extension direction. In the embodiment of fig. 4, the area of the cross section of the abutment 126 perpendicular to the extension direction is greater than the area of the cross section of the root 125 perpendicular to the extension direction, so that the abutment 126 can have a relatively large size, which can improve the wear resistance. Further, with this design, the extending direction of the elastic contact piece 12 can be substantially parallel to the side wall surface of the SIM card, and when the SIM card is assembled, the contact portion 126 is naturally bent around the root portion 125 by the SIM card, thereby achieving elastic contact against the SIM card.

The shape of the cross section of the root 125 perpendicular to the extending direction may not be limited, and may be, for example, a rectangle, an approximate rectangle (for example, rounded transitions are configured at four corners of the rectangle, or at least one side of the rectangle is set to be a non-linear structure such as an arc line), a circle, or the like.

The body 11 may further be configured with a support 13 (a filled area exists in fig. 4), and the support 13 is used to support one plate surface of the SIM card in the Z-axis direction, so that the mounting reliability of the SIM card can be effectively improved.

The part of the support 13 for supporting the SIM card may be provided with a second hollow structure 132, where the second hollow structure 132 may specifically be a hole type or a groove type, the hole type refers to a through type design in the Z-axis direction, and the groove type refers to a non-through type design in the Z-axis direction. Second hollow out construction 132 can alleviate support piece 13's weight, and then can realize the lightweight of card support 1 and electronic equipment 100, simultaneously, also is favorable to the heat dissipation of SIM card, can promote the performance of SIM card in the course of the work.

In the embodiment of fig. 4, the second hollow structures 132 are rectangular holes, and the number of the second hollow structures may be four. In fact, the shape and number of the second hollow structures 132 are not limited thereto, and the second hollow structures 132 may also be circular holes, elliptical holes, triangular holes, other polygonal holes (number of sides > 4), some special-shaped holes, or the like; the holes included in the second hollow structure 132 may also be designed to be in other numbers, such as one, two, three, or more than five, and when the second hollow structure 132 includes a plurality of holes, the arrangement manner of the holes on the supporting member 13 may not be limited, and may specifically be determined by combining a certain simulation test and the like.

The support 13 may be a metal plate. The metal sheet can promote the structural strength that whole card held in the palm 1 to, the metal sheet can have better heat dispersion, when with SIM card direct contact, can promote the radiating effect of SIM card, is favorable to guaranteeing the performance of SIM card in the course of the work. The body 11 can also be made of metal, which is beneficial to ensuring the integral strength of the card holder 1; alternatively, the body 11 may be made of a plastic material, and in this case, the weight of the body 11 is light, which is advantageous for reducing the weight of the card holder 1 and the electronic device 100.

When the supporting member 13 is a metal plate and the body 11 is made of plastic material, the forming process of the card holder 1 may be an integral injection molding process based on the metal plate, so as to directly form the body 11 on the metal plate by injection molding, at this time, the body 11 and the supporting member 13 may be naturally connected, the connection reliability may be higher, and the preparation process is relatively simple. Of course, the metal plate and the body 11 may be connected by bonding, welding, clamping, riveting, screwing, or the like, as long as the reliability of the connection between the metal plate and the body 11 can be ensured.

When the body 11 and the support piece 13 are made of plastic materials, the body 11 and the support piece 13 can be directly integrally formed by adopting an integral injection molding process, and the preparation of the card holder 1 can be relatively simple.
