SIM (subscriber identity module) card connector having automatic software driver ejection function and terminal device comprising SIM card connector

Abstract

The invention discloses an SIM (subscriber identity module) card connector having an automatic software driver ejection function and a terminal device comprising the SIM card connector. The SIM card connector having the automatic software driver ejection function comprises a base and a card holder for accommodating an SIM card, wherein the card holder is movably arranged on the base; a driving device, a push rod assembly and a detection device are further arranged on the base; when software receives a card holder ejection instruction, the driving device outputs power according to the card ejection instruction and drives the push rod assembly to move from a state in which the push rod assembly is locked with the card holder to a state in which the push rod assembly is unlocked with the card holder, a radial spring is arranged between the push rod assembly and the card holder, and the unlocked push rod assembly ejects the car holder out under the action of the radial spring; when the detection device detects insertion of the SIM card, the driving device outputs power according to a card insertion instruction and drives the push rod assembly to move from the state in which the push rod assembly is unlocked with the card holder to the state in which the push rod assembly is locked with the card holder, so that the SIM card is ejected out automatically in a software manner, a card retrieve pin is not needed, and the operation is more convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a SIM card holder, in particular to a software-driven SIM card holder that pops up automatically and a terminal device including the SIM card holder. Background technique [0002] At present, handheld devices are developing toward becoming thinner and simpler. In order to cater to this development trend, ultra-thin SIM card holders are widely used in handheld devices, especially mobile phones. But at present almost all device designs using ultra-thin SIM card holders rely on the housing of the product to locate the SIM card, and most of them have to disassemble the battery cover and battery to complete the disassembly and assembly of the mobile phone SIM card. In this way, every time the SIM card is disassembled, the phone must be turned off, and the battery cover and battery must be removed at the same time. After the SIM card is disassembled, the battery and battery cover should be installed and then turned on. This process i...

Problems solved by technology

The SIM card holders generally used in this kind of products are mainly: push rod type card holders, flip cover type card holders, and self-bounce type card holders. Among them, because the battery cover is not removable and for the sake of beauty, most of the push rod type card holders are more expensive. The structure of the SIM card that relied on complex disassembly has been greatly improved before, but the appearance of the product is generally decorated. The card tray can only be removed by taking the card needle, and the push rod type card holder is often on the side of the mobile phone. The card must have a card removal needle, the operation is very cumbersome
