[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the specific embodiments of this application and the corresponding drawings. Figure 1 The card ejection direction X is longitudinally forward; the Y direction is horizontally right; and the Z direction is vertically upward.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 5As shown, the stacked card holder of the present application includes a first terminal module 60 welded on a printed circuit board 10, a shielding shell 30, a second terminal module 40 arranged on the inner side of the shielding shell 30, a card ejection mechanism 50 assembled on a lateral side of the shielding shell 30, an insulating body 30, a first terminal group 40 arranged on the top wall 31 of the insulating body 30, a receiving space (unnumbered) formed between the first terminal module 60 and the second terminal module 40, and a card tray 20 that moves in the receiving space.

[0037] Key References Figure 5 As shown, the shielding housing 30 includes a base 31 and two side walls 32 extending downwardly from the base 31 on either side. The base 31 includes a main plate 311 and a front plate 312 extending forward from the main plate 311. The side walls 32 are formed by bending and extending from the main plate 311 on either side. The front plate 312 is formed by bending and extending from either side to form limiting walls 33. The width between the limiting walls 33 is smaller than the width between the side walls 32. The main plate 311 is provided with a window 313, a connecting beam 314 is provided in the middle of the window 313 in the transverse direction, a switch static terminal 315 is formed by bending and extending downwardly from the middle of the rear end of the main plate 311, a retaining wall 316 is formed by bending and extending downwardly from both sides of the rear end of the main plate 311, and a rivet hole 317 is provided in the main plate 311 near the retaining wall 316. The sidewalls 32 , the limiting walls 33 , and the lower ends of the retaining walls 316 are bent to form soldering portions 322 , 331 , and 318 that are soldered to the printed circuit board 10 .

[0038] One of the two side walls 32 is formed with an elastic piece 321 that extends into the receiving space to apply an elastic force to the card tray 20. The other side wall 32 has a mounting portion formed inside the mounting portion for mounting the card ejection mechanism 50. The elastic piece 321 is formed by tearing downward from the main plate 311 inside the mounting portion. The mounting portion is located between the elastic piece 321 and the side wall 32. The elastic piece 321 on one side of the mounting portion includes an elastic portion that extends into the receiving space, connecting portions 323 located on either side of the elastic portion and connected to the main plate 311, and pressure pieces 324 formed at both ends of the elastic piece 321 and extending toward the side wall 32 to apply an elastic force. The distance between the two limiting walls 33 is less than the distance between the two side walls 32, but less than the minimum distance between a pair of elastic pieces 321. The side wall 32 on the side without the mounting portion is torn and punched inward at the rear end to form a limiting hook 325 that protrudes into the receiving space.

[0039] The card ejection mechanism 50 includes a push rod 51 mounted in the mounting portion of the shielding housing 30, a cam 52 riveted to the rivet hole 317, and a rivet 53 for riveting the cam 52 into the rivet hole 317. The card ejection mechanism 50 is well known in the industry and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The first terminal module 60 includes two SIM card terminal modules 61 and 62 arranged in a longitudinal direction. Each SIM card terminal module 61 and 62 includes a first terminal group and a first insulator forming the first terminal group as a whole.

[0041] See also Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the second terminal module 40 includes a second terminal group 41 and a second insulator 42 forming the second terminal group 41 on the inner surface of the main plate portion 311 of the shielding housing 30. In a specific embodiment, the first terminal module 40 can also be assembled on the inner side of the shielding housing 30.

[0042] Each conductive terminal of the second terminal group 41 includes an elastic arm 411 extending downward into the receiving space, an extension portion 412 extending backward from the elastic arm 411, and a solder foot 413 bent downward and extended from the rear end of the extension portion 412. All the conductive terminals of the second terminal group 41 are connected as a whole at the extension portion 412, and the connected part is cut off after injection molding to electrically isolate each conductive terminal from each other. The two outermost conductive terminals extend laterally outward to form a connecting strip 414, and the connecting strip 414 is connected as a whole at the front to form a combined strip 415. The combined strip 415 is cut and isolated after injection molding. The second terminal module 40 is a TF card terminal module, specifically a UHS (ultra-high speed) TF card terminal module.

[0043] The elastic arm 411 of the second terminal assembly 41 includes a contact portion 4111 extending into the receiving space, first and second elastic arms 4112 and 4113 extending obliquely upward from the contact portion 4111, respectively, in the front and rear directions, a free end portion 4114 extending horizontally from the second elastic arm 4112 by bending forward, and a retaining portion 4115 formed between the free end portion 4114 and the second elastic arm 4112. The width of the free end portion 4114 is greater than the width of the retaining portion 4115.

[0044] The second insulator 42 includes a main body 421 that fits against the inner wall of the main plate portion 311 of the shielding housing 30, a deformation opening 422 defined in the main body 421 corresponding to the elastic arms 411 of the second terminal assembly 41, and a rear wall 423 extending downward from the rear end of the main body 421. The rear wall 423 includes a hole structure 424 corresponding to the rivet hole 317 of the shielding housing 30, through which the rivet 53 passes. The extension 412 of the second terminal assembly 41 is integrally formed with the rear end of the main body 421. The solder legs 413 extend from the bottom surface of the rear wall 423 and are soldered to the printed circuit board 10. The free end 4114 of the elastic arms 411 of the second terminal assembly 41 is located forward of the card insertion end relative to the extension 412. A limiting portion 425 for limiting the free end portion 4114 is formed on the fitting body 421 in front of the deformation mouth 422, and the limiting portion 425 includes an extension hole 4251 that passes through the fitting body 421 in the vertical direction, a limiting step 4254 protruding from the bottom side of the limiting portion 425, and an upper limiting beam 4252 and a lower limiting beam 4253 that clamp the upper and lower sides of the locking portion 4115. The upper limit beam 4252 and the lower limit beam 4253 are vertically offset. After the second terminal assembly 41 is injection molded, only one surface of the retaining portion 4115 of the second terminal assembly 41 is molded on the lower surface of the upper limit beam 4252 and the upper surface of the lower limit beam 4253. When the contact portion 4111 of the elastic arm 411 is pressed by the TF card, the retaining portion 4115 can easily disengage from the joint surface between the upper limit beam 4252 and the lower limit beam 4253, allowing the free end 4114 to become a movable free end. The width of the retaining portion 4115 is smaller than that of the free end 4114, ensuring that the free end 4114 remains within the extension hole 4251 and does not fall out backward from the extension hole 4251. The free end portion 4114 can move freely in the extension hole 4251. The setting of the limiting step 4254 ensures that when the free end portion 4114 moves downward to the maximum stroke, the free end of the free end portion 4114 is always located above the limiting step 4254 and does not enter the receiving space downward.

[0045] The deformation opening 422 corresponds to the window 313 of the shielding housing 30. The connecting beam 314 is located above the contact portion 4111. The first and second elastic arms 4112 and 4113 are longitudinally arranged below the window 313. The connecting beam 314 prevents the window 313 from being too large, which could cause the window edge to deform. The connecting beam 314 is located directly above the contact portion 4111, which is the farthest portion from the main plate 311. This prevents the contact portion 4111 from contacting the main plate 311 and causing a short circuit when squeezed.

[0046] The stacked card holder of the present application is used for ultra-high-speed TF cards, and the free end portion 4114 of the second terminal group 41 needs to be located in front of the card insertion side, so that the extension portion 412 and the solder foot 413 extend directly backward from the elastic arm 411 to the bottom surface of the rear wall 423, avoiding the problem of traditional straight insertion method (that is, in order to solve the problem of terminal rubbing, the free end portion 4114 is set at the rear so that the TF is inserted in a straight insertion) requiring the extension portion 412 and the solder foot 413 to be bent backward and extended from the front end of the elastic arm 411, thereby affecting ultra-high-speed signal transmission.

[0047] The stackable card holder of the present application also includes a switch movable terminal 80 mounted on the rear wall 423 of the second insulator 42. The switch movable terminal 80 includes a fixed portion 81 fixed within the rear wall 423, a contact portion 83 bent from the fixed portion 81 and extending into the receiving space, and a contact end portion 84 bent backward from the contact portion 83 to form an electrical contact with the switch static terminal 315. In the initial state, the contact end portion 84 is in electrical contact with the switch static terminal 315. After the card tray 20 is inserted, the rear end of the card tray 20 pushes backward against the contact portion 83 to disconnect the contact end portion 84 from the switch static terminal 315 and realize the switching function. The rear wall 423 is provided with an avoidance hole 4231 at the position corresponding to the contact end 84, and a crossbeam 4232 connecting the two lateral sides of the rear wall 423 is formed on the bottom side of the avoidance hole 4231. The design of the crossbeam 4232 helps to reduce the plastic warping problem of the rear wall 423 caused by the avoidance hole 4231.

[0048] Please continue reading Figures 11 to 16As shown, the card tray 20 of the present application includes a partition plate 21 and a plastic body 22 molded on the outer periphery of the partition plate 21. The partition plate 21 includes a partition plate body 211, a through-hole 214 opened at the front end of the partition plate body 211, and a notch 213 opened at the lateral outer side of the rear end of the partition plate body 211. The outer periphery 212 of the partition plate body 211 is molded and embedded in the plastic body 22. The plastic body 22 includes a pair of longitudinal arms 221 molded on the outer periphery 212 on both sides of the lateral side of the partition plate body 211, a tail arm 222 molded on the outer periphery 212 on the rear side of the partition plate body 211, a front end 223 molded on the outer periphery 212 on the front side of the partition plate body 211, and a cover 224 formed at the front end of the front end 223. The upper side of the partition plate 211 and the plastic body 22 enclose a first card storage space S1 (TF card). The lower side of the partition plate 211 and the plastic body 22 enclose a second and third card storage space S2 and S3 (SIM card) arranged in a longitudinal direction. A partition bar 225 is formed between the second and third card storage spaces S2 and S3.

[0049] The longitudinal arm 221 has a slot 2213 on its lateral outer side for retaining the elastic piece 321 of the shielding shell 30. A limiting slot 2211 is defined on the upper surface of the longitudinal arm 221. The front end of the limiting slot 2211 forms a limiting wall 2212 at the front end 223. A limiting notch 2214 is defined at the rear end of the longitudinal arm 221, corresponding to the position of the limiting hook 325 of the shielding shell 30. The limiting hook 325 engages within the limiting notch 2214 to prevent over-insertion of the card tray 20. The limiting walls 33 on both sides of the front plate 312 of the shielding shell 30 slide on the limiting slot 2211 and are retained by the limiting walls 2212 of the card tray 20, preventing further insertion of the card tray 20. The limiting wall 33 further includes a pressing portion 332 vertically bent outward from the lower end of the limiting wall 33 . The pressing portion 332 is pressed into the limiting groove 2211 . The welding portion 331 is formed by vertically bending downward and extending from the pressing portion 332 .

[0050] The stacked card holder of the present application is positioned at the limiting wall 2212 at the front end of the limiting groove 2211 of the card holder through the limiting walls 33 on the horizontal sides of the shielding shell 30, and then a limiting hook 325 extending into the receiving space is set at the rear end of the side wall 32 of the shielding shell 30, and a limiting notch 2214 cooperating with the limiting hook 325 is set at the rear end of the longitudinal wall 221 of the card holder 20 to achieve double locking to prevent over-insertion.

[0051] The front end 223 of the plastic body 22 protrudes from its upper side toward the first card storage space S1 to form a first clamping portion 2231. The front end 223 protrudes from its lower side toward the third card storage space S3 to form a third clamping portion 2232. The first and third clamping portions 2231, 2232 are elastic structures. When a first and third electronic cards are inserted into the first and third card storage spaces S1, S3, they abut against the outer edges of the first and third electronic cards, preventing them from falling out. A second clamping portion 23 is mounted or formed on the longitudinal arm 221 of the plastic body 22 in the second card storage space S2. The second clamping portion 23 is used to abut against a second electronic card inserted into the second card storage space S2 to prevent it from falling out. The longitudinal arm 221 is provided with a mounting opening 24 at the location corresponding to the second clamping portion 23. The mounting opening 24 includes a step 241 located adjacent to the second card receiving space S2 and a mounting hole 242 corresponding to the notch 213 of the partition plate 21. The second clamping portion 23 includes a base 231 accommodated within the mounting opening 24, a relief portion 232 formed below the base 231 to avoid the step 241, a fixing column 233 secured within the mounting hole 242, and a plurality of elastic members 234 extending from the inner side of the base 231 into the second card receiving space S2. The second clamping portion 23 is made of a flexible plastic material, such as silicone. The elastic members 234 abut against the second electronic card to prevent it from falling out.

[0052] Because the longitudinal length of two SIM cards is greater than that of a single TF card, the first clamping portion 2231 is positioned further back than the third clamping portion 2232. The card tray's partition plate 21 and the plastic body 22 can also be directly integrated using metal processing, such as powder metallurgy or die-casting. In this case, the first and third clamping portions 2231 and 2232 need to be installed using the same installation method as the second clamping portion 23.

[0053] The card tray 20 of this application is provided with a first card storage space S1 for TF cards on the upper side, and two second and third card storage spaces S2 and S3 for SIM cards arranged longitudinally on the lower side. The front end 223 of the plastic body 22 protrudes toward the first and third card storage spaces S1 and S3 to form first and third clamping portions 2231 and 2232 to prevent the first and third electronic cards from falling out when the card tray is turned over. To solve the problem of preventing the second electronic card from falling out in the second card storage space S2, a second clamping portion 23 is provided on the longitudinal arm 221 corresponding to the second card storage space S2. This card tray of this application realizes the all-in-one technical solution of two SIM cards and one TF card.

[0054] Key References Figure 13 、 Figure 17 、 Figure 18 As shown, the bottom of the longitudinal arm 221 of the card tray 20 protrudes downward to form a support bar 2215, and the support bar 2215 is directly supported to slide on the printed circuit board 10, and the upper limit of the card tray 20 is located below the top wall 31 of the shielding shell 30, mainly by the limiting wall 33 being supported and limited downward in the limiting groove 2211 on the upper side of the longitudinal arm 221 of the card tray 20. In this way, there is no need to fold inward on the side wall 32 of the shielding shell 30 to form a supporting structure for supporting the card tray 20, which further reduces the thickness of the product.

[0055] The support bar 2215 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which reduces the contact sliding area between the support bar 2215 and the printed circuit board 10, avoids occupying too much space on the printed circuit board 10, and also avoids the problem of excessive friction caused by too large a contact area, which may damage the printed circuit board 10.

[0056] The stacked card holder of the present application forms a support bar 2215 that directly slides in contact with the printed circuit board 10 by protruding downward at the bottom of the longitudinal arm 221 of the card holder 20, so that the upper and lower limits of the card holder 20 are achieved by pressing from above by the shielding shell 30 and supporting the printed circuit board 10 from below, which can avoid the technical problem of the prior art that the side wall 32 of the shielding shell 30 needs to be bent inward to support the card holder 20, thereby thickening the card holder.

[0057] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
