The card holder device 100 includes: a card holder 10 installed in the card slot 91 of the electronic device, a card holder 20 adapted to the card holder 10 and used to install an electronic card of the electronic device, a card cap 30 rotatably connected to the card holder 20, and a pin assembly 40 installed in the card slot 91 of the electronic device. The card holder 20 can be inserted into the card holder 10 or pulled out from the card holder 10. It should be noted that the electronic card of the electronic device may include a phone card or a memory card, and the electronic device may include a mobile communication terminal (such as a mobile phone), a tablet computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), an electronic reader, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0029] The card holder 10 is provided with a receiving groove 101, which is arranged along the insertion direction of the card holder 20, and a spring 102 is arranged in the receiving groove 101. The ejector assembly 40 includes a first connecting rod 41, a second connecting rod 42 movably connected to the first connecting rod 41, and a third connecting rod 43 fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 41. The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 form a connecting rod structure, and the second connecting rod 42 can rotate relative to the first connecting rod 41. The second connecting rod 42 is arranged on an end of the first connecting rod 41 away from the card cap 30 (shown in the figure as the lower end of the first connecting rod 41), and the third connecting rod 43 is inserted into the receiving groove 101 of the card holder 10 and abuts against the spring 102. One end of the first connecting rod 41 away from the second connecting rod 42 (the upper end of the first connecting rod 41 shown in the figure) abuts against the card cap 30, and one end of the second connecting rod 42 away from the first connecting rod 41 (the right end of the second connecting rod 42 shown in the figure) abuts against the bottom of the card holder 20. Optionally, the receiving groove 101 is a plastic groove for easy assembly. The third connecting rod 43 can be understood as extending outward from the side of the first connecting rod 41, and the third connecting rod 43 is arranged along the length direction of the receiving groove 101.

[0030] The card cap 30 of the present disclosure is rotatably connected to the card holder 20 to form a lever, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the user presses the card cap 30, the first connecting rod 41 of the ejector assembly 40 will be driven to move toward the card holder 10 (moving downward in the figure), so that the second connecting rod 42 pushes the card tray 20 to move away from the card holder 10 (moving upward in the figure), thereby withdrawing the card tray 20 from the card holder 10, so that the user can take the card tray 20 and the electronic card out of the card holder 10. Figure 1As shown, when the user inserts the card tray 20 back into the card holder 10, the third connecting rod 43 of the ejector assembly 40 moves away from the card holder 10 under the elastic force of the spring 102, so that the first connecting rod 41 supports the card cap 30 to prevent the card cap 30 from shaking or floating. Therefore, the present invention does not require the use of specific tools, nor does it require the opening of a reserved tool hole on the electronic device, and can realize the disassembly and assembly of the card tray and the electronic device, which is convenient and concise, is beneficial to the aesthetics of the whole machine, and is easy to waterproof.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the card tray 20 is provided with a hinge seat 21, and the card cap 30 is provided with a hinge portion 31 hingedly matched with the hinge seat 21. The hinge portion 31 of the card cap 30 and the hinge seat 21 of the card tray 20 are hingedly matched with each other, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the card cap 30 and the card tray 20.

[0032] Further, the hinge seat 21 includes a first hinge plate, the hinge portion 31 includes a second hinge plate, and the second hinge plate is hingedly connected to the first hinge plate through a first rotating shaft 22, so that the hinge portion 31 of the card cap 30 and the hinge seat 21 of the card tray 20 are hingedly matched with each other. Optionally, the first rotating shaft 22 is a rivet.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, in order to prevent the position of the cap 30 from shifting during the rotation process, a first arc-shaped limiter is provided on the side of the hinge seat 21, and a second arc-shaped limiter matched with the first arc-shaped limiter 23 is provided on the side of the hinge portion 31. Through the coordination of the arc surfaces of the first arc-shaped limiter and the second arc-shaped limiter, when the cap 30 rotates relative to the tray 20, the cap 30 can be guided and limited, so as to prevent the cap 30 from shifting during the rotation process.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the second connecting rod 42 is provided with a second rotating shaft 44, and the second connecting rod 42 can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 44. Optionally, the second rotating shaft 44 is a rivet. It can be understood that the second connecting rod 42 can rotate relative to the first connecting rod 41 while also being able to rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 44, which can reduce the space required for the second connecting rod 42 to rotate, thereby saving space inside the electronic device.

[0035] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the ejector assembly 40 further includes an ejector bracket and an ejector 45 inserted in the ejector bracket, one end of the ejector 45 abuts against the cap 30, and the other end of the ejector 45 abuts against the first connecting rod 41. In order to make the ejector 45 better abut against the first connecting rod 41, a support rod 46 is provided at the end of the first connecting rod 41 close to the cap 30, which is transversely arranged relative to the first connecting rod 41, so as to increase the abutment area with the ejector 45, thereby enhancing the supporting effect on the ejector 45. The ejector bracket includes two supporting plates 47 arranged side by side, the ejector 45 is inserted in the two supporting plates 47, and a stopper 48 is provided on the ejector 45. The stopper 48 is located between the two supporting plates 47 and can play a limiting role.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, when the user presses the card cap 30, the ejector 45 of the ejector assembly 40 will be driven to move toward the card holder 10 (moving downward in the figure), thereby driving the first connecting rod 41 to move downward so that the second connecting rod 42 pushes the card tray 20 to move away from the card holder 10 (moving upward in the figure), thereby withdrawing the card tray 20 from the card holder 10, so that the user can take the card tray 20 and the electronic card out of the card holder 10. Figure 3 As shown, when the user reinserts the card tray 20 back into the card holder 10, the third connecting rod 43 of the ejector assembly 40 moves away from the card holder 10 under the elastic force of the spring 102, so that the first connecting rod 41 pushes the ejector 45 to move upward and support the card cap 30, preventing the card cap 30 from shaking or floating. At this time, the limit member 48 abuts against the support plate 47 located above, which can limit the ejector 45 from continuing to move upward, so as to prevent the ejector 45 from pushing the card cap 30 out of the card slot 91 under the elastic force of the spring 102.

[0037] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an electronic device, including a housing 90, a card slot 91 arranged on the side of the housing 90, and a card holder device 100, wherein the card holder 10 and the ejector assembly 40 of the card holder device 100 are both installed in the card slot 91. It should be noted that the description of the card holder device 100 in the above embodiments and implementation methods is also applicable to the electronic device of the present disclosure. The electronic device of the present disclosure may include a mobile communication terminal (such as a mobile phone), a tablet computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), an electronic reader, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the inner wall of the card slot 91 is provided with a limiting portion 92. When the card tray 20 is inserted into the card holder 10, one end of the card cap 30 abuts against the limiting portion 92, so that the card cap 30 and the housing 90 are closely matched, which can play a positioning role to complete the assembly and return of the card tray 20, avoid the card cap 30 from being tilted and uneven, and achieve a flat appearance of the electronic device. Or when the user presses the card cap 30 and then releases the card cap 30, the card cap 30 can rotate to the initial position under the elastic force of the spring 102, so that the card cap 30 abuts against the limiting portion 92, so that the card cap 30 and the housing 90 are closely matched, which can play a positioning role to complete the assembly and return of the card tray 20, avoid the card cap 30 from being tilted and uneven, and achieve a flat appearance of the electronic device.
