Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of card reader technology, specifically to a built-in card reader structure. Background Technology

[0002] A card reader is a device that reads cards. Due to the wide variety of card types, the term "card reader" has a broad meaning. Memory cards are widely used in smartphones and cameras, so in a broader sense, smartphones and cameras can also be considered card readers. Based on the type of memory card they store, card readers can be categorized as CF card readers, SM card readers, PCMICA card readers, and Memory Stick readers. There are also dual-slot card readers that can use two or more types of cards simultaneously. As mobile phones and other electronic products are moving towards non-removable designs, built-in card readers are becoming increasingly common.

[0003] Currently, card readers fix cards by using the elastic force generated by the compression and deformation of copper wires to position and clamp the cards. This positioning method allows for quick insertion and removal of cards. However, with prolonged insertion and removal of cards, the copper plates of the card and the copper wires inside the card reader will wear down, which will affect the lifespan of both the card reader and the card. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a built-in card reader structure that solves the problem that current card readers use the elastic force generated by the compression and deformation of copper wires to position and clamp the cards. While this positioning method allows for quick card insertion and removal, prolonged insertion and removal of cards can cause wear on the copper plates of the card and the copper wires inside the card reader, thus affecting the lifespan of both the card reader and the card.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a built-in card reader structure, comprising a housing, a partition fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing, a guide hole on the upper surface of the partition, a guide rod installed inside the guide hole, a fixing block fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod extending to the outside of the guide hole, a rotating shaft movably connected between the fixing blocks, a mounting base fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the housing, positioning rollers mounted on the surfaces of the mounting base and the rotating shaft, the positioning rollers movably connected to the mounting base, and the positioning rollers fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, an upper support plate fixedly connected to the lower surface of the partition, a lower support plate disposed below the upper support plate, a support rod movably connected to one end of the upper support plate and the lower support plate, the other end of the support rod movably connected to a nut via a connector, a pressure sensor fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lower support plate, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the detection end of the pressure sensor, and a connecting module fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate. The partition is designed to facilitate the positioning and installation of electronic components. The guide hole is designed to facilitate the installation of the guide rod. The guide rod is designed to facilitate the positioning and guidance of the vertically moving fixed block. The fixed block is designed to facilitate the positioning and installation of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and mounting base are designed to facilitate the positioning and installation of the positioning roller. The positioning roller is designed to facilitate the positioning and installation of the card body. The upper support plate and lower support plate are designed to facilitate the vertical movement of the fixed plate. The pressure sensor is designed to facilitate the detection of the pressure when the connecting module contacts the card body.

[0008] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing block, the top of the spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the partition, the guide rod is located inside the spring, and the top of the guide rod extends to the outside of the guide hole and is fixedly connected to a limit block. The spring is provided to facilitate the positioning and clamping of the card body using its elastic force, and also to push the positioning roller to quickly reset.

[0009] Preferably, a lead screw is installed inside the nut, a bearing is fixedly connected to the right end of the lead screw, and a motor is located on the left side of the lead screw, with the output end of the motor fixedly connected to the left end of the lead screw. The lead screw is used to facilitate the movement of the nut, thereby controlling the expansion and contraction of the support rod and the up and down movement of the lower support plate.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to both the surface of the motor and the outer surface of the bearing, and a slider is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing rod. Slide rails are fixedly connected to both the front and rear inner surfaces of the housing, and the slider is movably connected inside the slide rails. The fixing rods are used to facilitate positioning and limiting of the motor and bearing, while the sliders are used to allow the motor and bearing to move up and down along a straight line.

[0011] Preferably, an inlet is provided on the right side surface of the housing, and a card body is installed between the positioning rollers, with one right end of the card body extending to the outside of the housing. The inlet is provided to facilitate the insertion of the card body.

[0012] Preferably, a base plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the housing near the left edge, and the right surface of the base plate contacts one left end of the card body. The base plate is provided to facilitate positioning of the card body.

[0013] Preferably, an electronic component is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the partition, the electronic component is arranged symmetrically from left to right, and lugs are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the housing near the front and rear edges, the lugs are arranged symmetrically from left to right.

[0014] Working principle: In use, the card body is inserted into the housing through the inlet. Due to its thickness, the card body pushes open the positioning roller above and compresses the spring to contract. At this time, the elastic force generated by the spring compression positions and presses the card body. Then, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the nut to move, allowing the support rod to unfold. After the fixed rod unfolds, the lower support plate moves downward until the connecting module contacts the copper plate on the card body. At the same time, a pressure sensor detects the pressure value on the card body. When the pressure value reaches the set value, the motor stops running. The electronic components power the card body to read data from the chip inside the card body. After the data reading is completed, the reverse motor drives the lower support plate to rise, at which point the card body can be removed.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] This invention provides a built-in card reader structure. It has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. By setting a positioning roller to position the card, and the surface of the positioning roller is made of non-woven fabric, the contact area with the card is increased. The contact method of the card is changed from sliding to rolling, which can effectively reduce the friction between the card and the reader. This helps to reduce the wear of the copper sheet on the card and the copper wire inside the card reader, and helps to extend the service life of the card and the card reader.

[0018] 2. By changing the contact method between the connection module and the copper sheet to a pressure-type contact, the sliding contact area with the card can be minimized, which helps to reduce the wear of the connection module and reduce the failure rate of the connection module.
