Memory card connecting device

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory card connection device which has an automatic inserting and ejecting function and further has superior versatility, convenience, and expandability. SOLUTION: The memory card connection device comprises a movable tray 8 where memory cards 100 and 200 are held, a housing 1 having an entrance exit 16 for the movable tray 8, 1st and 2nd card connectors 3 and 4 which are set in the housing 21, and a tray driving part 7 which drives the movable tray 8. The movable tray 8 is provided with a holding part for an MS card 100 which is composed of: a mount part 53a, an MS card restriction part 55, an MS card abutting part 56, and MS card engagement parts 57 and 58; and another holding part for an SD card 200 which is composed of a mount part 53b, an SD card restriction part 59, an SD card abutting part 60, and an SD card engagement part 61. Those holding parts can be arranged one over the other or in the same plane without overlapping with each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a memory card connecting device equipped with a tray for automatic introduction and ejection of memory cards. Background technique [0002] In the past, electronic devices such as personal computers, video cameras, electronic cameras, or mobile phones that use memory cards with built-in semiconductor chips and card-shaped shapes as external storage devices have been equipped with memory card connection devices for storage. The external connection terminals arranged on the card are electrically connected to the circuits arranged on the electronic device. And in the known memory card connection device of this kind in the past, there is the memory card connection device that manually inserts and ejects the memory card, inserts the memory card manually, carries out the memory card that ejects the memory card automatically with the return spring. A connection device, and a memory card connection device that automatically in...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the existing memory card connection device, no matter how the memory card is plugged in, only one contact piece set is configured, and only one memory card suitable for the contact piece set can be installed, so it cannot be used for A memory card that is not suitable for the set contact sheet group has a problem of defects in versatility

[0009] In addition, since only one memory card can be installed, when performing large-capacity data processing, or when transferring data between memory cards, the memory card connection device must be repeatedly inserted and pulled out of the memory card, and there is a problem of using Lack of convenience and lack of scalability of functions
