DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices, systems, equipment, and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention discloses an electronic assembly, which includes an electronic card tray 100 and an electronic device 200. The electronic card tray 100 is inserted into the electronic device 200 from front to back. The electronic device 200 can be an electronic product with storage or communication functions such as a mobile phone and a PAD. The electronic card tray 100 includes a card tray 1, a door panel 2 installed on the front side of the card tray 1, and an elastic member 3 located between the card tray 1 and the door panel 2. The card tray 1 is provided with a receiving slot 10, and an electronic card (not shown) is installed in the receiving slot 10, and can be inserted into the electronic device with the electronic card tray 100 to realize functions such as communication or telecommunication data transmission. A sealing ring 11 is provided at the front end of the card tray 1, and the sealing ring 11 and the inner wall of the insertion port 201 are mutually in conflict to seal the insertion port 201 to prevent water, grease or dust and other substances from entering the electronic device and affecting the problem of data transmission. The door panel 2 can translate relative to the card tray 1 and move forward and backward. The door panel 2 is defined as a closed state and a pop-up state relative to the card tray 1. The door panel 2 is usually locked in a closed state. When the card needs to be removed, the sliding door panel 2 is unlocked and the door panel 2 is ejected out of the electronic device 200 by the elastic member 3. The door panel 2 remains connected to the card tray 1 when it is ejected. The user can take out the electronic card tray 100 by pinching the door panel 2. This process does not require the use of a pin, making card removal more convenient.

[0030] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the door panel 2 includes a plastic block 21 and a metal sheet 22 embedded in the plastic block 21. The metal sheet 22 is provided with a pair of joints 221. The joints 221 protrude backward from the plastic block 21 and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the elastic member 3. Each joint 221 has a guide groove 222. The guide groove 222 is roughly L-shaped, including a transverse section 223 and a longitudinal section 224 extending backward from one end of the transverse section 223. The shapes of the two guide grooves 222 are completely consistent. A pair of joints 4 are respectively fixed to the card holder 1 through the guide grooves 222, so that the door panel 2 is movably connected to the front side of the card holder 1. When the door panel 2 moves, the joints 4 can slide relatively in the guide grooves 222. In this embodiment, the joints 4 are rivets.

[0031] The metal sheet 22 and the card holder 1 are locked to each other to keep the door panel 2 in a closed state. When the card needs to be removed, the door panel 2 is unlocked and the elastic member 3 drives the door panel 2 to pop out forward in the front-to-back direction. During this process, the coupling member 4 first slides along the transverse section 223 and then along the longitudinal section 224 until it abuts against the rear edge of the longitudinal section 224. Figure 5 to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The middle door panel 2 is in a closed state. Figure 6 The middle door panel 2 is about to be opened. Figure 7The state after the door panel 2 is ejected. When the door panel 2 is translated, the coupling member 4 slides relatively in the transverse section 223. When the coupling member 4 is translated to an end where the transverse section 223 is connected to the longitudinal section 224, the elastic member 3 drives the door panel 2 to eject forward along the front-to-back direction, and the coupling member 4 slides into the longitudinal section 224. During the sliding process, the edge of the longitudinal section 224 always contacts the coupling member 4, which can support and guide the door panel 2 to rotate smoothly. When the coupling member 4 pushes against the rear edge of the longitudinal section 224 backward, the door panel 2 is prevented from rotating further, which can prevent the elastic member 3 from ejecting excessively from the door panel 2. After the door panel 2 is opened, the user inserts a finger into the guide groove 222 to hook out the electronic card tray 100. In the electronic card tray 100 and the electronic device 200 of the present invention, the card tray 1 and the door panel 2 are connected by a double L-shaped guide groove 222 and a double coupling member 4, so that the door panel 2 can eject forward along the front-to-back direction after being translated, which is convenient for card removal and more stable relative to the ejection mode of the door panel rotating.

[0032] The card tray 1 includes a plastic body 12, a metal reinforcing plate 13, a connector 14 and a shielding plate 15. The plastic body 12 forms the aforementioned receiving groove 10. The reinforcing plate 13 is roughly in the shape of a sheet extending in the left and right directions and is embedded in the front end of the plastic body 12. The connector 14 is formed by bending a metal sheet and is roughly in the shape of a strip. It is connected to the reinforcing plate 13 by spot welding to reliably fix the connector 14 on the plastic body 12. The metal reinforcing plate 13 and the connector 14 cover the front and back sides of the front end of the plastic body 12 from the square sides respectively. The shielding plate 15 is embedded in the plastic body 12 and covers the top side of the receiving groove 10, which can improve the stability of the installation of the electronic card (not shown) and also has the function of resisting electronic interference.

[0033] The connecting member 14 is provided with a horizontal base plate 141, and the base plate 141 is correspondingly provided with a pair of through holes 142, and the reinforcing plate 13 is correspondingly provided with a pair of through holes 131. After the connecting member 14 and the reinforcing plate 13 are spot-welded up and down, the coupling portion 221 is inserted between the connecting member 14 and the reinforcing plate 13, and the coupling member 4 passes through the through hole 142, the guide groove 222 and the through hole 131 to connect the connecting member 14, the metal sheet 22 and the reinforcing plate 13, thereby movably connecting the door panel 2 and the tray 1.

[0034] The connecting member 14 is locked with the metal sheet 22 of the door panel 2 to maintain the door panel 2 in a closed state. Specifically, the metal sheet 22 of the door panel 2 is provided with a buckle 225, which extends horizontally from one side of the joint 221 and has a protrusion 226 protruding forward and backward. The connecting member 14 is provided with an arc-shaped holding portion 143, and the holding portion 143 and the protrusion 226 are engaged with each other to maintain the door panel 2 in a closed state, so as to prevent the door panel 2 from being accidentally ejected during the drop test. In this embodiment, each joint 221 is provided with a buckle 225, and the connecting member 14 is correspondingly provided with two buckling portions 143, which can reliably lock the door panel 2 to the front side of the card holder 1.

[0035] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting member 14 is provided with a lock buckle 144, which is located below the base plate 141 and connected to the front edge of the base plate 141. The lock buckle 144 is U-shaped and includes a pair of clamping arms 145 arranged front and back. When the door panel 2 is translated, the buckle 225 can be inserted between the two clamping arms 145, and the two clamping arms 145 elastically clamp the buckle 225 along the front and back direction. The buckle 225 corresponding to the lock buckle 144 has a protruding block 226 protruding backward, and the end of the clamping arm 145 located at the rear side is provided with a holding portion 143. The protruding block 226 and the holding portion 143 are engaged with each other to lock the door panel 2 on the card holder 1. When the user releases the clamping between the buckle 225 and the lock buckle 144 and translates the door panel 2, a certain force needs to be applied to push the door panel 2, which can prevent the door panel 2 from being accidentally opened during the drop test. The clamping arm 145 located at the front side abuts against the buckling portion 143 to resist the elastic force of the elastic member 3 .

[0036] The elastic member 3 is a spring piece integrally provided with the connecting member 14. The connecting member 14 is provided with a side plate 146, which is formed by bending downward from the rear edge of the base plate 141. The elastic member 3 extends forward from one end of the side plate 146. The elastic member 3 is generally inclined in a U-shape, and the front arm 31 of the elastic member 3 abuts against the plastic block 21 of the door panel 2 forward, and the rear arm 32 of the elastic member 3 abuts against the side plate 146 backward to provide elastic force for popping out the door panel 2.

[0037] Another holding portion 143 is extended from the other end of the side plate 146, which can be engaged with the protrusion 226 of the buckle 225 provided on the other joint portion 221. The bottom edge of the side plate 146 is bent forward to form a baffle 127, which is located at the bottom side of the free end of the elastic member 3 and is used to limit the free end of the elastic member 3. The bottom edge of the front clamping arm 145 of the lock buckle 144 is bent backward to form another baffle 127, which is located at the bottom side of the lock buckle 144 and is used to limit the buckle 225 matched with the lock buckle 144.

[0038] In the electronic card tray 100 and the electronic device 200 of the present invention, the card tray 1 and the door panel 2 are connected by a double L-shaped guide groove 222 and a double coupling member 4, so that the door panel 2 can be smoothly ejected forward along the front-to-back direction after translation, and the card can be easily withdrawn.

[0039] The cooking utensils of the present invention are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
