SYSTEME DE CONNEXION A BILLES POUR CARTE A MEMOIRE ET
AUTRES CONNEXIONS POUR SYSTEME ELECTRONIQUE
La presente invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'assurer une connexion avec une carte a mémoire dans un volume restreint.BALL CONNECTION SYSTEM FOR MEMORY CARD AND
OTHER CONNECTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a device for ensuring a connection with a memory card in a limited volume.
Ce dispositif concerne également toutes connexions, notamment dans le domaine électronique nécessitant un volume restreint.This device also relates to all connections, in particular in the electronic field requiring a limited volume.
Les lecteurs de cartes a memoire sont actuellement volumineux a cause, notamment, du dispositif de connexion.Memory card readers are currently bulky due, in particular, to the connection device.
Le dispositif, selon l'invention, permet de réduire l'épaisseur du connecteur a moins d'un centimètre. I1 est conçu afin que sa fabrication soit peu onéreuse.The device according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the connector to less than a centimeter. I1 is designed so that its manufacture is inexpensive.
il comporte, dans sa partie inférieure, un plateau a glissière en matière plastique permettant de glisser la carte et de l'ajuster exactement sous le dispositif de contact. La hauteur des glissières est équivalente a l'épaisseur de la carte. Elles se situent sur les deux longueurs. Une butée, au fond du dispositif, permet d'arrêter la carte en position lecture. it has, in its lower part, a plastic slide tray allowing to slide the card and to adjust it exactly under the contact device. The height of the slides is equivalent to the thickness of the card. They are located on both lengths. A stop at the bottom of the device stops the card in the reading position.
Un film plastique, collé sur les glissières, vient recouvrir le plateau.A plastic film, glued on the slides, covers the tray.
La carte s'insère entre le plateau et le film.The card is inserted between the set and the film.
A l'endroit exact des points de contact de la puce sont perces dans le film des trous dans lesquels sont serties des billes métalliques. Ces trous sont de diamètre légèrement inférieur aux billes qu'ils reçoivent.At the exact location of the contact points of the chip, holes are drilled in the film in which metal balls are crimped. These holes are slightly smaller in diameter than the balls they receive.
Le premier film plastique est recouvert d'un second film plastique sur lesquels ont été collées des bandes conductrices. Elles viennent en contact avec les billes, assurant ainsi la continuité électrique entre la puce et l'unité a servir -par l'intermédiaire des bandes conductrices qui desserviront l'unité logique a alimenter.The first plastic film is covered with a second plastic film on which conductive strips have been stuck. They come into contact with the balls, thus ensuring electrical continuity between the chip and the unit to be served - by means of the conductive strips which will serve the logic unit to be supplied.
Le dispositif, selon l'invention, est notamment destiné aux lecteurs de cartes a puce. I1 pourra s'intégrer dans des lecteurs portables, des lecteurs pour distributeurs de billets, terminaux points de vente et toutes applications cartes a puce. Cependant ce système de connexion, selon l'invention, peut également être exploite pour des connexions de faible encombrement destinées a des matériels électroniques, à des liaisons entre machines, ou entre éléments de machines électroniques. The device according to the invention is in particular intended for smart card readers. It can be integrated into portable readers, readers for ATMs, point of sale terminals and all smart card applications. However, this connection system according to the invention can also be used for space-saving connections intended for electronic equipment, for connections between machines, or between elements of electronic machines.
Aussi, selon l'invention, les connecteurs a billes peuvent prendre différentes formes selon le problème de connexion posé. Ils peuvent ainsi rerplacer les dispositifs de connexion a aiguille qui ont trop souvent tendance a se détériorer.Also, according to the invention, the ball connectors can take different forms depending on the connection problem. They can thus replace the needle connection devices which too often tend to deteriorate.
Ainsi, pour réaliser un connecteur a 16 conducteurs, selon l'invention, on distingue une partie femelle et une partie mâle. Cette dernière est constituée d'une fiche plate constituee d'un sandwich composé de la manière suivante : un film plastique dans la partie inférieure serti de huit billes métalliques selon le procédé décrit plus haut. Des bandes conductrices, collées sur un second film plastique viennent en contact avec les billes.Thus, to produce a connector with 16 conductors, according to the invention, a female part and a male part are distinguished. The latter consists of a flat plug consisting of a sandwich composed as follows: a plastic film in the lower part set with eight metal balls according to the method described above. Conductive strips, glued to a second plastic film, come into contact with the balls.
Au-dessus de ces deux films, un troisième muni de bandes conductrices, est colle. Puis un quatrième serti également de huit billes. Les bandes conductrices aboutissent a une réglette où sont soudés les films électriques.Above these two films, a third provided with conductive strips is glued. Then a fourth also set with eight beads. The conductive strips lead to a strip where the electric films are welded.
La partie femelle est constituée d'un boitier en plastique aux dimensions exactes de la fiche mâle. Dans les parties supérieure et inférieure sont aménagees, par emboutissage, des cavites sphériques aux dimensions des billes. En insérant la carte, les billes viennent se loger ces cavites munies de bandes conductrices. Elles assurent ainsi la continuite électrique ainsi que la liaison mécanique.The female part consists of a plastic case with the exact dimensions of the male plug. In the upper and lower parts are formed, by stamping, spherical cavities to the dimensions of the balls. By inserting the card, the balls are housed in these cavities provided with conductive strips. They thus ensure electrical continuity as well as mechanical connection.
Le système de connexion par billes, selon l'invention, peut s'adapter a toutes connexions électriques, et prendre toutes formes selon le probleme posé. The ball connection system according to the invention can adapt to all electrical connections, and take any form depending on the problem.
