New Description: [New Technology Field] The present invention relates to a memory card switching device, and more particularly to a memory card switching device for reading and converting a plurality of memory card data formats. [Prior Art] The large number of digital products and rapid development have brought about a multiplication of information. Among them, the small size and easy-to-carry memory card is the most commonly used data storage interface, which can be applied to digital cameras, PDAs, mobile phones, In the audio playback device, the data processing can be extracted at any time, and the storage capacity of the memory card currently sold on the market can be as high as 4 to 6 GB, which is a widely used memory storage interface of the phase. However, because the manufacturers develop their own specific memory cards, it is convenient for users to read multiple memory card adapters in the form of multiple memory cards at the same time. See Figure 1 for the new patent No. M278972 in China. An all-in-one card reader, which discloses a printed circuit board 1 , a controller u , a socket 13 , a first slot 15 i, CF (compact flash) for inserting an MS (memory stick) memory card or MD (microdrive) memory card inserted in the second slot 16, a Ms Du〇 (mem〇ry out 仏du〇), (d) shck Pro Duo or mini SD memory card inserted in the third slot 1?, and - A card reader for combining the fourth slot 18 of the xD memory card. As shown in FIG. 1, each of the slots 15 to 18 is individually soldered to the printed circuit board 10. Therefore, the printed circuit board 1 must provide a sufficient mounting surface to simultaneously place all the slots 15 to 18, As a result, the M299330 accounted for a relatively large increase in the volume of the card reader, which invisibly increased the burden on the carrier for business or travellers.

The data conversion unit converts the data format transmitted by each of the terminal units into an ExpressCardTM format and outputs the data via the ExpressCardTM connector. The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. Referring to Figures 2 to 3, the integrated all-in-one memory card adapter 2 includes a housing 21, a socket 22, a data conversion unit 23, an Express CardTM M299330 connector 24, and a guide frame 25. The outer casing 21 is a rectangular box body and has an upper casing 211 and a lower casing 212. The upper and lower casings 211 and 212 are butted to define a space for the other components. Inside. The socket 22 has a body 26 and four i disposed on the base body 26, and the subunits ' are a first terminal unit 223, a second terminal unit 224, a third terminal unit 225 and a fourth terminal unit 226, respectively. The base body 26 includes a rectangular bottom wall 261, a first side wall 262 extending upward from the bottom wall 261 along a side edge of the bottom wall 261, and a first side wall 262 along the other side edge of the bottom wall 261. a second side wall 263 extending upward from the bottom wall 261, and a connecting wall 264 connecting the same ends of the first and second side walls 262 and 263. The bottom wall 261, the first side wall 262, the second side wall 263 and the connecting wall 264 are defined together. A slot 265, and when the socket 22 is sandwiched by the outer casing 21, the slot 265 defines a laterally open opening 266. In addition, the slot 265 defines a first side 267 at a distance from the data conversion unit 23, that is, a position corresponding to the opening 266, and a position adjacent to the data conversion unit 23 is a second side 268. The first dice unit 223 is disposed at a position adjacent to the second side 268 of the slot 265 and has a plurality of i-sets connected to the wall 4 (four) guiding arm 2231, and the freedom of each 5 Hess arm 2231 The end extends from the connecting wall 264 and extends into the slot 265 Θ. The second terminal unit 224 is located at the first side 267 of the slot 265, and the second terminal unit has a plurality of guiding arms extending from the bottom wall 26 i toward the opening 266 at a free end thereof. 224 丄. M299330, the upper surface 261 of the bottom wall 261 is recessed to form a plurality of elastic arm grooves 269 and 260, and each of the elastic arm grooves 269, 260 extends in the same direction as each of the side walls 262 or 263, wherein the third direction is provided. The guiding elastic arm 2251 of the terminal unit 225 is a third elastic arm slot 269, and the guiding elastic arm 2261 of the fourth terminal unit 226 is a fourth elastic arm slot 260. The extension length of the fourth elastic arm groove 260 is greater than the extension length of the third elastic arm groove 269, and the fourth elastic arm groove 260 is between the two second elastic arm grooves 269, so that the third and fourth guiding ends The elastic arms 2251 and 2261 are arranged in a staggered manner. The guiding elastic arm 2231 of the first terminal unit 223 is used for guiding an Ms memory card or an MS Pro memory card (not shown); the guiding elastic arm 2261 of the second terminal unit 224 can be combined with an xD memory card ( The terminal is connected to the third terminal unit 225; the guiding elastic arm 2251 of the third terminal unit 225 is connected to an MMC memory card, an RS MMC memory card, or an SD memory card (not shown); the fourth terminal unit 226 The guiding elastic arm 2261 can be coupled with the third terminal unit 225 to be connected to an MMC4.0 memory card or an RS MMC4.0 memory card (not shown). At the same time, as shown in Fig. 4, in order to cooperate with various memory card types, the slot 265 is correspondingly defined with four regions according to the longitudinal section of the suffix card, as shown in Fig. *, where the region I is for the MS card and the MS. Pro is inserted, the area ri is for xD card insertion, the area is for MMC memory card, Rs mmc memory card or SD memory card, and the area ^ is corresponding to MMC 4〇 memory card or RS MMC 4.0 memory card. Plug in. The far ExpressCardTM connector 24 is equipped with an expansion connector installed on the corresponding plug-in notebook. However, since it is not the feature of this embodiment, it will not be explained in M299330. The tributary conversion unit 23 has a circuit board 231 and a control wafer 232 soldered to the circuit board 231. The two ends of the circuit board 231 are respectively coupled to the terminal units 223 to 226 of the socket 22 and the ExpressCardTM connector 24. The control chip 232 is capable of receiving data incoming from each of the terminal units 223 to 226 and converting to an ExpressCardTM format output. The guide frame 25 has a frame body 251 and a card strip 252 extending in parallel with the two ends of the body 251. The body 251 defines a through hole 253, and the through hole 253 and the slot 265 are laterally opened. The 266 is connected and the outer contour is the same, so the memory card of different types can be inserted. The present embodiment integrates eight kinds of g-memory card interfaces, and does not need to separately install the terminal units 223 to 226, and successfully sets all the terminal units 223 to 226 in the same slot 265 at the same time, reducing the entire memory card. The required space for the switching device 2 can be converted according to various data storage formats, which is in line with the trend of thinning in today's technology, especially in this embodiment, which is suitable for use with a computer as an expansion device for carrying and miniaturization. It will be an inevitable trend. In summary, the present invention designs a terminal unit 223~ of eight kinds of memory cards in one slot 265, and integrates the terminal units 223 to 226 which are originally required to be separately set to not only reduce the total occupied volume, but also is suitable for carrying with them. The ExpressCardTM format, which converts eight data formats simultaneously for notebook expansion, is an unprecedented creation. However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereto, that is, the scope of the new patent application 10 M299330 and the new description content are covered by the new patent. Within the scope.
