Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , a mobile terminal 2 includes a body 21 and a housing 22 , and a receiving slot 23 is formed between the body 21 and the housing 22 . A card holding device 1 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 23.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 together, the card holding device 1 includes a tray 11, a rotating shaft 12, a button 13, and an ejecting portion 14.

The tray 11 is adapted to the shape of the accommodating groove 23, and the tray 11 forms a card slot 111 for accommodating a card 3.

A plurality of conductive contacts (not shown) electrically connected to a circuit board (not shown) of the mobile terminal 2 are formed on the body 21 at positions corresponding to the card slots 111 for use with the plurality of cards 3 The conductive contacts are electrically connected (not shown) to enable communication between the card 3 and the mobile terminal 2.

In the present embodiment, the accommodating groove 23 is formed by the body 21 and the opposite recessed regions 211 and 221 formed on the casing 22. The recessed regions 211, 221 are each substantially fan-shaped. A spring card slot 231 and a receiving hole 232 are formed on the same edge of the recessed areas 211 and 221 . The shrapnel slot 231 is substantially "V" shaped. A keyhole 233 is also formed in the mobile terminal 2. The button hole 233 and the receiving hole 232 pass through, and the axial direction of the button hole 233 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the receiving hole 232. The button hole 233 includes a first hole 2331 and a second hole 2332 having a diameter larger than the first hole 2331 and penetrating the first hole 2331.

The button 13 includes a pressing member 131 and a resilient member 132. The pressing member 131 includes a pressing body 1311 and a shoulder 1312 fixedly connected to the pressing body 1311. The pressing body 1311 is partially received in the first hole. In 2331, the shoulder 1312 is received in the second hole 2332. The elastic member 132 is received in the second hole 2332 and abuts against the shoulder 1312.

The rotating shaft 12 is disposed on the tray 11 , and the two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are rotatably fixed to the mobile terminal 2 , so that the tray 11 is rotatably disposed in the receiving slot 23 . In the embodiment, the rotating shaft 12 is fixed in the recessed areas 211 and 221 away from the edge of the receiving hole 232 . Specifically, the inner portion of the recessed portion 211 is further provided with a first shaft hole 2111 corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft 12, and the inner portion of the recessed portion 221 is further provided with a second shaft hole 2211 corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft 12, and is fixed to the tray. The two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are inserted into the first shaft hole 2111 and the second shaft hole 2211, so that the tray 11 is fixed to the inner side of the receiving groove 23 through the rotating shaft 12, and the tray 11 can surround the tray 11 The shaft 12 rotates within a certain range of angles.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , a latch 1313 is further disposed on the pressing body 1311 . The hook 1313 is disposed facing the receiving hole 232 , and the surface of the tray 11 facing the receiving hole 232 is formed. The engaging hooks 1313 are engaged with the engaging holes 113. The hook 1313 is configured to pass through the receiving hole 232 and is received in the engaging hole 113 such that the tray 11 is engaged with the mobile terminal 2.

The ejecting portion 14 is a bow spring 141. The bow spring 141 includes a first arm 1411, a second arm 1412 fixedly coupled to the first arm 1411, and a third arm 1413 fixedly coupled to the second arm 1412. An angle formed between the first arm 1411 and the second arm 1412 is an acute angle and forms a "V" shape; an angle formed between the second arm 1412 and the third arm 1413 is an obtuse angle and forms a "bow" The shape of the second arm 1412 and the third arm 1413 forms a resisting portion 1414. One end of the first arm 1411 and the second arm 1412 are adapted to the shape of the spring clip slot 231 and are received in the spring clip slot 231. When the tray 11 is received in the accommodating groove 23 and engaged with the mobile terminal 2, the abutting portion 1414 of the bow spring 141 abuts on the side wall 112 of the tray 11.

In the engaged state, the tray 11 is rotatably coupled to the rotating shaft 12, the hook 1313 is engaged with the engaging hole 113, and the bow spring 141 is in a compressed state.

Referring to FIG. 7 together, if the SIM card 3 is to be taken out from the tray 11 or the SIM card 3 is placed in the tray 11, pressure is applied to the pressing body 1311, so that the pressing body 1311 faces the second The hole 2332 is moved until the hook 1313 is disengaged from the engaging hole 113. The bow spring 141 pushes the tray 11 around the rotating shaft 12 in a direction away from the receiving hole 232 during the pressure release and return to the natural state. Thereby, the tray 11 is partially exposed to the mobile terminal 2, at which time the user can manually pull out the tray 11 so that the SIM card 3 can be taken out of the tray 11 or placed in the tray 11.

When the tray 11 is manually pushed into the accommodating groove 23, the hook is engaged with the engaging hole 113, and the bow spring 141 is compressed again to be in a compressed state. In the embodiment, the hook 1313 is formed with a wedge-shaped surface 1314. When the tray 12 is placed, the hook 1313 is moved along the receiving hole 232 to the ejecting portion 14 under the pressing of the tray 12 until the end of the hook 1313. When the portion is mated with the tray 12, the engaging hole 113 is engaged.

In the embodiment, in order to ensure that the tray 11 can smoothly slide out of the accommodating groove 23, the card holding device 1 is disposed on any one of the four top corners of the mobile terminal 2, thereby being the tray. 11 leaves enough space for the placement to prevent interference between the tray 11 and the accommodating groove 23 when it is rotated.

It can be understood that the card holding device of the present invention is suitable for insertion and removal of various cards, such as a SIM card, or other cards equipped on the mobile terminal, such as an SD card (Secure Digital Card). When the card slots of these cards have a cover for dustproof or other purposes, the holding mechanism provided by the present invention can also be used to facilitate the insertion and removal of the cards.

The mobile terminal with the card holding device of the invention has the advantages of simple structure, reliable buckle, convenient insertion and removal of the card 3, no need of a thimble, no need to open the back cover, and no need to take out the battery, and is more convenient to use.
