In this embodiment, the interference direction of the hook 826 and the interference portion 846 is opposite to that of the above embodiment, that is, the opening position of the card slot 826a is the right side of the hook 826 (the left side of the embodiment of FIG. 2A), and Two protrusions 828 are disposed on both sides of the tray 82 to respectively correspond to the driving portions 844 on the first board body 841 and the second board body 842. The structural details and functions of the first bracket 822, the second bracket 824, the hook 826 and the protruding portion 828 of the tray 82 are similar to the first bracket 122, the second bracket 124, and the hook 126 of the embodiment of FIGS. 2A and 2B. And the protruding portion 128, which will not be described herein. In addition, the tray 82 may have a plurality of through holes 820a for engaging the cover body 24 with the holes 24b of the cover body 24 by the pins 825a and 825b, and the details are not described herein.

The operation of the user identification card loading and unloading mechanism of the present invention including the tray 82 and the movable arm 84 will be described in detail later with reference to Figs. 8A and 8B. As shown in FIG. 8A, when the tray 82 is disposed within the housing 22 and the movable arm 84 is in the first position, the movable arm 84 interferes with the tray 82 to restrict the tray 82 from exiting the housing 22. Specifically, when the tray 82 is disposed in the housing 22 and the positioning portion 845 of the movable arm 84 is engaged with the first engaging portion 26a of the housing 22, the movable arm 84 is positioned at the first position. At this time, the cover body 24 shields the opening 22a of the casing 22, and the force receiving portion 848 of the movable arm 84 faces the opening 24a of the cover body 24, and is disposed on the driving portion 844 of the first plate body 841 and the second plate body 842. Corresponding to the protrusions 828 on both sides of the tray 82, and the interference portion 846 of the movable arm 84 interferes with the hook 826 of the tray 82 and is at least partially received in the slot 826a to restrict the tray 82 from moving out of the housing 22, The subscriber identity card 30 is operatively and electrically connected to a connector disposed within the housing 22.

As shown in FIG. 8B, when the movable arm 84 is rotated to the second position, the movable arm 84 releases the interference with the tray 82 and pushes against the tray 82 to move the tray 82 to partially exit the housing 22. Specifically, when the user inserts the withdrawal needle 70 into the opening 24a of the cover body 24 and applies a force to the force receiving portion 848 of the first plate body 841, the first plate body 841 is rotated by force to position the card. The portion 845 is disengaged from the first engaging portion 26a and continues to rotate to engage with the second engaging portion 26b to be positioned at the second position. When the first plate body 841 is rotated by force, the interference portion 846 is simultaneously moved away from the hook 826 (ie, is disengaged from the card slot 826a) to avoid the movement path of the tray 82, and the second plate body 842 is rotated. The driving portions 844 of the first plate body 841 and the second plate body 842 are simultaneously pushed outwardly against the protruding portion 828 of the tray 82, and the tray 82 is partially withdrawn from the housing 22 along the moving path. When the tray 82 moves to partially exit the housing 22, the cover 24 simultaneously moves relative to the housing 22 to partially expose the opening 22a to facilitate the user pulling the tray 12 and picking up the user identification card 30.

It should be noted that when the card release needle 70 is applied to the force receiving portion 848 to rotate the first plate body 841 and the first plate body 841 drives the second plate body 842 to rotate, the first plate body 841 and the second plate body The direction of rotation of the 842 is reversed. For example, the ejecting pin 70 applies a force to the force receiving portion 848 to cause the first plate body 841 to rotate counterclockwise about the rotation center C1, and the design of the elongated first pivot hole 841a by the first plate body 841 The second plate body 842 is rotated clockwise about the rotation center C2, so that the end portions of the first plate body 841 and the second plate body 842 which are away from each other (ie, the driving portion 844) are simultaneously pushed toward the outside of the casing 22 in the tray. The protrusion 828 of the 82 causes the tray 82 to partially exit the housing 22 stably, and the cover body 24 is moved to expose the partial opening 22a.

Similarly, in the case where the tray 82 is withdrawn from the housing 22, the movable arm 84 is in the second position, that is, the position where the tray 82 is moved, and only the tray 82 needs to be pushed into the housing 22 by The protruding portion 828 of the tray 82 is pushed against the driving portion 844 of the movable arm 84, so that the movable arm 84 can be rotated. The positioning portion 845 is moved away from the second engaging portion 26b and moved from the second position toward the first position until the positioning portion 845 is engaged with the first engaging portion 26a to be positioned at the first position as shown in FIG. 8A. The user identification card 30 is loaded.

Compared with the prior art, the user identification card loading and unloading mechanism of the present invention can restrict the movement of the tray relative to the housing by selectively positioning the movable arm at different positions, thereby effectively preventing the user from improperly exiting the user identification card, and simultaneously Make sure that the user identification card is securely connected to the connector.

The present invention has been described by the above embodiments, but the above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments specifically described herein may have other modifications of the embodiments. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is intended to cover such modifications and are only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
