Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the electronic card connector 100 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to the first to eleventh drawings, the electronic card connector 100 of the present invention is mounted in the electronic product 200 for receiving an electronic card (not shown), and includes an insulative housing 1 and is held in the insulative housing 1. The conductive terminal 2, the shielding case 3 that is mounted on the insulative housing 1 and that forms the receiving space 10, the elastic member 4 that is mounted on the insulative housing 1 and located behind the receiving space 10, and the front end of the receiving space 10 is inserted into the receiving space 10 The tray 5 and the magnetic member 6 mounted on the tray 5. The present invention relates to the "up and down", "left and right", and "front and rear" orientations with reference to the first drawing, and is merely for convenience of description and does not limit the invention.

Referring to the third and fourth figures, the tray 5 includes a cover 51, a bracket 52 that is fitted to the inside of the cover 51, and a main frame 53 that is fastened to the cover 51 by the bracket 52. The cover plate 51 includes an outer surface 511 exposed to the outer surface of the electronic product 200, an inner surface 512 opposite to the outer surface 511, a concave portion 510 recessed from the inner surface 512 toward the outer surface 511, and an inner surface 512 from the outer surface 511 toward the inner surface 512. The stepped portion 513 of the recess. The bracket 52 is locked in the recess 510. The bracket 52 has a sheet shape and is provided with a first fitting groove 521 and a second fitting groove 522 which are disposed on the left and right and are not in communication with each other. Each of the first fitting groove 521 and the second fitting groove 522 includes a large-diameter groove 5211, 5221 having a large height and a small-diameter groove 5212, 5222 having a small height. In particular, the first fitting groove 521 further includes an arcuate groove 5213 connecting the large diameter groove 5211 and the small diameter groove 5212. The main body frame 53 includes a frame portion 531 for receiving an electronic card and a pair of bosses 532 extending forward from the frame portion 531. The boss 532 enters the bracket 52 from the large diameter grooves 5211 and 5221 and then slides to the small diameter grooves 5212 and 5222 and is stably locked to the small diameter grooves 5212 and 5222 to prevent the main body frame 53 from being detached from the bracket 52. The small diameter slots 5212, 5222 have a certain length to ensure assembly The rear boss 532 is slidable within the small diameter grooves 5212, 5222. Of course, the bracket 52 may have only one of the fitting grooves, that is, the first fitting groove 521 or the second fitting groove 522, and correspondingly, only one of the bosses 532 may be provided. The sliding of the boss 532 in the small-diameter slots 5212, 5222 defines a sliding direction, and the tray 5 is received in the receiving space 10 to define an insertion/exit direction which is perpendicular to the insertion/exit direction. The sliding direction coincides with the left and right direction.

The magnetic member 6 is mounted on the inner surface 512 side of the cover 51 of the tray 5, and protrudes from the arcuate groove 5213 of the bracket 52 on the side of the main body frame 53. The magnetic member 6 and the step portion 513 are located at both ends of the tray 5.

The electronic product 200 includes a housing 201 having a insertion opening 202 that communicates with the receiving space 10 and a metal sheet 203 disposed adjacent to the insertion opening 202.

Because the main frame 53 and the cover 51 and the bracket 52 are relatively moved to the left and right, the tray 5 of the electronic card connector 100 of the present invention has two states: Referring to the fifth figure, the boss 532 is slid to the magnetic member 6. The abutment is the unlocked state of the tray 5; referring to the sixth figure, the boss 532 slides to the most end side of the small-diameter groove 5222 to be separated from the magnetic member 6, and is in the locked state of the tray 5.

Referring to the eighth and tenth views, when the electronic card connector 100 of the present invention is installed inside the electronic product 200 and the tray 5 is in the locked state, the step portion 513 of the cover 51 extends into the outer casing 201 of the electronic product 200. When the magnetic element 6 is magnetically attracted to the metal piece 203 of the outer casing 201, the two ends of the cover plate 51 are kept locked and the tray 5 is not easily detached from the accommodating space 10. At this time, the tray 5 is located in the accommodating space 10 The elastic member 4 is pressed inwardly so that the elastic member 4 has an elastic force.

Please refer to the ninth and eleventh figures, when the electronic card needs to be quit, the electronic card of the present invention will be When the tray 5 of the connector 100 is unlocked, the cover 51 and the bracket 52 are gently slid to overcome the magnetic attraction between the magnetic member 6 and the metal piece 203, and the step portion 513 is separated from the outer casing 201. Finally, the elastic member The elastic force of 4 is released, and the tray 5 is withdrawn from the accommodating space 10.

The cover plate 51 of the present invention may not be provided with the step portion 513, but instead the step portion 513 is replaced by another magnetic element 6, that is, two magnetic elements 6 are respectively located at both ends of the cover plate 51, and are disposed on the outer casing 201. The two metal sheets 203 are attracted or detached.

The electronic card connector 100 of the present invention realizes the insertion and withdrawal of the tray 5 carrying the electronic card by sliding and desorbing the magnetic element 6 and the outer casing 201 of the electronic component 200 by sliding the cover 51 of the tray 5, which is simple, convenient and easy to operate. .

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art in the spirit of the present invention are still included in the scope of the appended claims.
