Description

Handheld electronic device

The present invention relates to a handheld electronic device and a fixing structure thereof, and more particularly to a handheld electronic device and a wafer card fixing structure thereof.

With the rapid development of mobile communication, mobile phones have become an indispensable tool for more and more consumers' daily work and life. The subscriber identification module (SIM) card of the mobile phone is a plastic card equipped with an IC chip, which has the functions of recording a personal user number and an address book. By replacing the user identification card, one mobile phone can be used by a plurality of users.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a fixed structure 50 disposed on a mobile phone is used to fix a user identification card. The fixed structure 50 includes a base 52 and a fixing member 54. The accommodating portion 52 is provided with a receiving groove 52a corresponding to a user identification card (not shown) for accommodating the user identification card. The fixing member 54 is disposed on the base 52 and adjacent to the receiving groove 52a, which can reciprocate in the direction of the arrow as shown. The user can move the fixing member 54 to move the fixing member 54 away from the accommodating groove 52a, and then install the user identification card in the accommodating groove 52a. Then, the fixing member 54 is pushed in the opposite direction to the accommodating groove 52a to buckle the user identification in the accommodating groove 52a.

However, in the above-mentioned fixing structure 50, the fixing member 54 can be easily reciprocated on the base 52, so that when the mobile phone accidentally falls, the impact of the external force easily causes the fixing member 54 to retreat from above the accommodating groove 52a. In this way, the user identification card cannot be electrically connected to the mobile phone effectively, and even the user identification card is detached from the accommodating slot 52a, thereby seriously affecting the usability of the mobile phone. In addition, the user must manually move the fixing member 54, thus allowing the user to spend more time in fixing the user identification card to the mobile phone.
