Figures 7-8 illustrate that the tray of the electronic card connector shown in Figure 1 is further pushed into the interior of the housing to ultimately cause the locking of the tray to be released.

Referring to FIG. 1-2, an electronic card connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10, a tray 20, a guide member 30, rotating levers 41 and 42, first springs 51 and 52, and a second spring 61. 62.

1 and 2 illustrate a portion of the housing 10 which may be a separate component or may be part of a housing of an electronic device, such as a cell phone. The housing 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and a side wall 12 substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate 11, and an opening 121 is defined in the side wall 12.

3, the tray 20 includes a pallet 21, an end cover 22 at one end of the pallet 21, and an engaging portion 23 at the other end of the pallet 21. The card 21 is provided with a card slot 211 for accommodating an electronic card (such as a SIM card or a flash memory card). The engaging portion 23 includes a body 231 and locking hooks 232 and 233, and the body 231 is self-supporting. One end of the 21 is extended, and the locking hooks 232, 233 are located at one end of the body 231 away from the pallet 21.

The guide member 30 includes a concave baffle 31, a first baffle 32, and a second baffle 33. The concave baffle 31 includes bumps 311 and 312 and a base 313. One ends of the bumps 311 and 312 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the side surface 3130 of the base 313. The inner surfaces of the protrusions 311 and 312 are respectively located at one end of the central position of the protrusions 311 and 312. A through hole 3131 is defined in the center of the base 313. The through hole 3131 can accommodate the end of the engaging portion 23. The side surface 3130 is provided with spring receiving holes 3132 and 3133 on both sides of the through hole 3131.

Each of the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and one end of each of the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33 is connected to an end surface of the concave baffle 31 parallel to the end surface 3130 to form a guide groove 34. The opening of one end of the guide groove 34 communicates with the opening 121 of the casing 10. After the end of the tray 20 is inserted into the opening 121, the tray 20 is guided by the guide groove 34 to slide along the longitudinal direction of the guide groove 34.

One end of each of the rotating levers 41, 42 is received in the inner fitting grooves 3111, 3121. In this embodiment, the ends of the rotating rods 41, 42 are rotatably connected to the bumps 311, 312 by screws (see FIG. 2), and the rotating rods 41, 42 can be rotated around the one end of the connection. It can be understood that the rotating rod 41 42 can also be rotatably coupled to the bumps 311, 312 by other suitable connections.

The rotating rods 41 and 42 are respectively provided with spring receiving holes 411 and 421 on the side faces of the opening 121 of the casing 10, and the spring receiving holes 411 and 421 are adjacent to the free ends of the rotating rods 41 and 42. The rotating rods 41, 42 are provided with bayonet 412, 422 on the side of the base 313 of the concave baffle 31. The bayonet 412, 422 are located at the edge of the free end of the rotating rods 41, 42, and the bayonet 412, 422 can be locked with the card. The hooks 232 and 233 are engaged.

One end of the first springs 51, 52 is fitted into the spring receiving holes 3132, 3133, and one end of the second springs 61, 62 is fitted into the spring receiving holes 411, 421.

Referring to FIG. 4-6, after the end of the tray 20 is inserted into the opening 121, the tray 20 is guided by the guiding groove 34 to slide along the length of the guiding groove 34, and the end of the engaging portion 23 first passes through the rotating rods 41, 42. The space between the ends. Thereafter, the end of the pallet 21 of the tray 20 comes into contact with the second springs 61, 62 on the rotating levers 41, 42, so that the rotating levers 41, 42 are pushed to rotate toward the concave shutter 31. The bayonet ports 412, 422 approach the locking hooks 232, 233 of the engaging portion 23 in this process. When the rotating levers 41, 42 are perpendicular to the engaging portion 23, the locking hooks 232, 233 on the engaging portion 23 are fastened to the latches 412, 422 on the rotating levers 41, 42 to lock the tray 20 and cannot move. .

Referring again to FIGS. 7-8 and 4, when the tray 20 needs to be taken out, the tray 20 can be thrust. The pallet 21 of the tray 20 applies a pushing force to the second springs 61, 62, and the second springs 61, 62 further apply a thrust to the rotating levers 41, 42 so that the rotating levers 41, 42 rotate and compress the first springs 51, 52. When the rotating levers 41, 42 are blocked by the edges of the through holes 3131, the engaging portions 23 are pushed into the through holes 3131, so that the locking hooks 232, 233 on the engaging portion 23 and the bayonet 412 on the rotating levers 41, 42 are The 422 is disengaged, thereby unlocking the tray 20. After the user releases the hand, the rotating rods 41, 42 are first springed back by the first springs 51, 52, and the rebounding rotating rods 41, 42 cause the second springs 61, 62 to push the tray 20 back, so that the tray 20 is directed toward the housing. 10 external movements. The outer end cap 22 of the tray 20 is finally moved to the outside of the casing 10, thereby facilitating the user to completely withdraw the tray 20 to replace the electronic card.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that one of the above-described rotating levers 41, 42 can be omitted, in which case only one first spring and one second spring are required to fit the one rotating lever.

The electronic card connector of the present invention can realize the loading and unloading of the electronic card without an auxiliary tool.
