[0067] A. First direction B. Second direction Detailed Implementation

[0068] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this disclosure provides a card tray mechanism, which includes a card holder 1, a card tray body 2, a locking component 3, and an unlocking structure 4. The card tray body 2 is movably disposed on the card holder 1; there is at least one locking component 3, each locking component 3 including a first locking member 31 and a second locking member 32, the first locking member 31 being disposed on the card holder 1, and the second locking member 32 being disposed on the card tray body 2, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 being able to lock each other; there is at least one unlocking structure 4, the unlocking structure 4 being configured one-to-one with the locking component 3, and the unlocking structure 4 being used to release the locking between the corresponding first locking member 31 and second locking member 32.

[0070] It should be noted that the aforementioned card tray body 2 can be used to install user identification cards such as SIM cards and USIM cards. After the user identification card is installed on the card tray body 2, when the card tray body 2 is located in the card slot 1, the user identification card on the card tray body 2 can be electrically connected to the card slot 1, thereby realizing functions such as communication, storage, and identity recognition.

[0071] Furthermore, the above expression "at least one" indicates a quantity of one or more.

[0072] In the above technical solution, at least one locking component 3 is provided, and each locking component 3 includes a first locking element 31 and a second locking element 32. The first locking element 31 and the second locking element 32 are respectively disposed on the card holder 1 and the card tray body 2, and the two can lock each other. In addition, an unlocking structure 4 is provided that corresponds one-to-one with the locking component 3. Each unlocking structure 4 is used to release the corresponding first locking element 31 and second locking element 32. When the user operates the card tray mechanism, only when the corresponding locking component 3 is unlocked by each unlocking structure 4 can the user identification card on the card tray body 2 be replaced or repaired. The locking is stable and effectively prevents the card tray body 2 from detaching from the card holder 1, that is, prevents the user identification card from detaching, ensures that the card holder 1 can effectively identify the user identification card, and improves the user experience.

[0073] In some exemplary embodiments, the aforementioned "card tray body 2 is movably disposed on card holder 1" can be movably disposed on card holder 1 or rotatably disposed on card holder 1, etc., and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0074] In one implementation, reference Figure 1 As shown, the card tray mechanism also includes an ejection structure 5, which is disposed on the card holder 1; the card tray mechanism has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the card tray body 2 is accommodated in the card holder 1, and the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are locked to each other; in the second state, the unlocking structure 4 releases the lock between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32, and the ejection structure 5 ejects the card tray body 2 from the card holder 1.

[0075] When the card tray mechanism is in the first state, the card tray body 2 is locked inside the card holder 1 by the locking component 3. When the card tray mechanism is in the second state, the ejection structure 5 ejects the card tray body 2 from the card holder 1. That is, by setting this ejection structure 5, the card tray body 2 is automatically ejected from the card holder 1, which is highly automated and does not require manual operation by the user.

[0076] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the card holder 1 has a groove 100 extending along the first direction A, and the card tray body 2 is slidably disposed in the groove 100 along the first direction A, with the two ends of the groove 100 along the first direction A being a closed end and an open end, respectively; the ejection structure 5 is constructed as an elastic sheet and disposed at the closed end; in the first state, the card tray body 2 abuts against the elastic sheet and can cause the elastic sheet to undergo elastic deformation along the first direction A; in the second state, the elastic sheet restores its deformation and ejects the card tray body 2 from the open end.

[0077] In this embodiment, firstly, by providing a groove 100 extending along the first direction A on the card holder 1, and slidably mounting the card tray body 2 along the first direction A in the groove 100, it is convenient for the card tray body 2 to switch between a first state located within the card holder 1 and a second state ejected from the card holder 1. This sliding method makes the drive more stable. Secondly, by setting the ejection structure 5 as an elastic sheet, the elastic sheet's ability to elastically deform along the first direction A is used to apply an elastic force to the card tray body 2 to eject it from the open end of the groove 100, thereby achieving the function of automatically ejecting the card tray body 2 from the card holder 1. This ejection structure 5 with an elastic sheet is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost, but this disclosure does not limit the specific structural type of the ejection structure 5.

[0078] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the unlocking structure 4 includes an unlocking rod 41 and an unlocking part 42 disposed on the unlocking rod 41. The unlocking rod 41 is movably disposed on the card holder 1 between a first position and a second position. During the process of the unlocking rod 41 moving from the first position to the second position, the unlocking part 42 can release the lock between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32.

[0079] In this embodiment, a movable unlocking lever 41 is provided on the card holder 1. During the movement of the unlocking lever 41 from the first position to the second position, the unlocking part 42 provided on the unlocking lever 41 can unlock the two locking members. The operator can operate the unlocking lever 41 to unlock the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0080] Furthermore, this disclosure does not limit the movement of the unlocking lever 41 provided on the card holder 1; it may be rotatably provided on the card holder 1 or movablely provided on the card holder 1, etc.

[0081] In one implementation, reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, a groove 100 extending along a first direction A is formed on the card holder 1. The card tray body 2 is slidably disposed within the groove 100 along the first direction A. The groove 100 includes a base plate 11 and two first side plates 12. Both first side plates 12 are connected to the base plate 11 and extend along the first direction A. The two first side plates 12 are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart along a second direction B intersecting the first direction A. The card tray body 2 is slidably disposed between the two first side plates 12 along the first direction A. A first locking member 31 is disposed on the first side plate 12 and configured as an elastic protrusion protruding toward the card tray body 2. A second locking member 32 is disposed on the card tray body 2 and configured as a groove for inserting the elastic protrusion; or, the first locking member 31 is disposed on the first side plate 12 and configured as a groove with an opening opposite to the card tray body 2. The second locking member 32 is disposed on the card tray body 2 and configured as an elastic protrusion for inserting into the groove. During the process of the unlocking lever 41 moving from the first position to the second position, the unlocking part 42 can deform the elastic protrusion to disengage from the groove.

[0082] In this embodiment, the card tray body 2 is slidably disposed between two first side plates 12 along the first direction A. A first locking member 31, which is elastically protruding, is disposed on the first side plate 12, and a second locking member 32, which is grooved, is disposed on the card tray body 2; or, the first locking member 31, which is grooved, is disposed on the first side plate 12, and the second locking member 32, which is elastically protruding, is disposed on the card tray body 2. That is, by utilizing the structure of the interlocking elastic protrusion and groove, and the engaging structure being located on both sides of the card tray body 2 along the second direction B, the movement of the card tray body 2 in the first direction A can be effectively restricted, ensuring that the card tray body 2 is effectively locked in the card holder 1. This simplifies the structure of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 while also improving the stability of the locking.

[0083] Furthermore, during the movement of the unlocking lever 41 from the first position to the second position, the unlocking part 42 can deform the elastic protrusion and disengage it from the groove. Once the elastic protrusion disengages from the groove, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are unlocked. In this embodiment, the locking components 3 are respectively located on both sides of the card tray body 2 along the second direction. Only when both locking components 3 on both sides are unlocked can the card tray body 2 disengage from the card holder 1.

[0084] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the unlocking lever 41 is slidably disposed on the card holder 1 along the first direction A, and the elastic protrusion and the groove are respectively disposed on the first side plate 12 and the card holder body 2. The unlocking part 42 includes a first unlocking plate 421 extending along the second direction B and a second unlocking plate 422 extending along the first direction A, and the first unlocking plate 421 is connected to the inner side of the unlocking lever 41 along the second direction B; the second unlocking plate 422 is used to be inserted between the elastic protrusion and the groove, and the first side surface 4221 of the second unlocking plate 422 near the unlocking lever 41 is used to abut against the first inclined surface 311 of the elastic protrusion. During the process of the second unlocking plate 422 moving with the unlocking lever 41 along the first direction A, the first side surface 4221 and the first inclined surface 311 form a sliding fit and can cause the elastic protrusion to deform and disengage from the groove.

[0085] In this embodiment, as the unlocking lever 41 slides from the first position to the second position along the first direction A, the unlocking part 42 provided on the unlocking lever 41 can also move along the first direction A, and the second unlocking plate 422 will also move along the first direction A. Since the second unlocking plate 422 is used to insert between the aforementioned elastic protrusion and groove, during the movement of the second unlocking plate 422 along the first direction A, the first side surface 4221 of the second unlocking plate 422 can form a sliding engagement with the first inclined surface 311 and apply a force away from the groove to the first inclined surface 311, causing the elastic protrusion to deform and disengage from the groove, thereby achieving the unlocking purpose. The operation is simple. Furthermore, by setting the unlocking part 42 as an L-shaped unlocking plate structure, unlocking can be achieved while simplifying the structure, which is beneficial for the lightweight design of the card holder mechanism.

[0086] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first side surface 4221 includes a second inclined surface 4222 and an abutting surface 4223 connected to each other. The second inclined surface 4222 is used to form a wedge-shaped surface engagement with the first inclined surface 311, and the abutting surface 4223 is located on the outside of the groove along the second direction B.

[0087] In this embodiment, the second inclined surface 4222 is used to form a wedge-shaped surface with the first inclined surface 311 on the elastic protrusion, thereby guiding the second unlocking plate 422 to abut against the elastic protrusion. When the top of the elastic protrusion abuts against the abutting plane 4223, the deformation of the elastic protrusion reaches its maximum value. Since the abutting plane 4223 is located outside the groove along the second direction B, when the top of the elastic protrusion abuts against the abutting plane 4223, the entire elastic protrusion is located outside the groove along the second direction B, thereby realizing the detachment of the elastic protrusion from the groove.

[0088] In another embodiment, the first locking member 31, which is configured as an elastic protrusion, can be integrally formed on the first side plate 12, and the first side plate 12 as a whole can be made of an elastic material; or, the elastic protrusion can be connected to the middle of the first side plate 12, and only the elastic protrusion is made of an elastic material, while the first side plate 12 can be made of a non-elastic material. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0089] Reference Figure 5As shown, the card holder 1 also includes two second side plates 13, each disposed on the base plate 11 and extending along the first direction A. The two second side plates 13 and the two first side plates 12 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Each second side plate 13 is spaced apart along the second direction B on the outer side of its corresponding first side plate 12. The unlocking lever 41 is slidably disposed between the first side plate 12 and the corresponding second side plate 13 along the first direction A. The first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13 can guide and limit the unlocking lever 41, preventing it from wobbling in the second direction B during sliding along the first direction A, thus improving the stability of the movement.

[0090] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the unlocking structure 4 also includes a first elastic element 43, which is connected between the unlocking rod 41 and the card seat 1, and the first elastic element 43 can undergo elastic deformation along the first direction A during the process of the unlocking rod 41 moving from the first position to the second position.

[0091] For example, the first elastic element 43 can be constructed as a return spring, with one end of the return spring abutting against the unlocking lever 41 and the other end abutting against the card holder 1. During the process of the unlocking lever 41 driving the unlocking part 42 to move from the first position to the second position, the return spring is compressed and deformed. After the unlocking part 42 completes the unlocking of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32, the return spring drives the unlocking lever 41 to return from the second position to the first position during the process of restoring its deformation.

[0092] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the card tray mechanism also includes a housing 6 and a pressing part 7 corresponding to the unlocking structure 4. The card holder 1 is disposed inside the housing 6. The housing 6 has a first channel 61 and a second channel 62 that communicate with the outside. The second channel 62 corresponds to the pressing part 7. The card tray body 2 passes through the first channel 61. In the first state, the card tray body 2 is located inside the housing 6. In the second state, the card tray body 2 extends out of the housing 6 through the first channel 61 under the drive of the ejection structure 5. The pressing part 7 is movably disposed in the second channel 62 and connected to the unlocking structure 4 to drive the unlocking structure 4 to release the lock between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32.

[0093] By providing the pressing part 7, the operator can unlock the locking component 3 by operating the pressing part 7. The housing 6 provides a mounting base for the card holder 1 and also offers good protection for the card holder 1 and the card tray body 2. Furthermore, mounting the card holder 1, card tray body 2, locking component 3, and unlocking structure 4 on the housing 6 facilitates a modular design of the card tray mechanism, making installation and disassembly easier.

[0094] In one implementation, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pressing part 7 includes a pressing button 71 and a second elastic member 72; the pressing button 71 is movably disposed in the second channel 62 between a first pressing position and a second pressing position, and the second elastic member 72 is connected between the pressing button 71 and the housing (6). The unlocking structure 4 includes an unlocking rod 41 and an unlocking part 42 disposed on the unlocking rod 41. The unlocking rod 41 is movably disposed on the card holder 1 between a first position and a second position, and during the process of the unlocking rod 41 moving from the first position to the second position, the unlocking part 42 can release the lock between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32; during the process of the pressing button 71 moving from the first pressing position to the second pressing position, the pressing button 71 can drive the unlocking rod 41 to move from the first position to the second position and can drive the second elastic member 72 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0095] That is, when the user needs to take or replace the user identification card, the user presses the button 71 to move the button 71 from the first pressing position to the second pressing position. During this process, the button 71 can drive the unlocking lever 41 to move from the first position to the second position, thereby unlocking the card tray body 2. The card tray body 2 pops out from the card holder 1 under the action of the ejection structure 5. At the same time, the button 71 returns to the first pressing position from the second pressing position under the action of the second elastic member 72; and the unlocking lever 41 returns to the first position from the second position under the action of the first elastic member 43.

[0096] In one implementation, reference Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the pressing part 7 also includes a fixing screw 10; the pressing button 71 includes a pressing head 711 and a pressing rod 712 connected to each other, and the pressing rod 712 has a hollow cavity 7120 with internal threads inside; the inner wall of the second channel 62 extends radially to form a baffle 621 for abutting against the pressing head 711, and the baffle 621 has a through hole for the pressing rod 712 to pass through; the threaded rod 101 of the fixing screw 10 is used to screw into the hollow cavity 7120 and engage with the internal thread, one side of the screw head 102 of the fixing screw 10 is used to abut against the unlocking rod 41, and the other side is used to abut against the outer side of the baffle 621; the second elastic element 72 is constructed as a spring, the spring is sleeved on the pressing rod 712, and one end of the spring is used to abut against the inner side of the baffle 621, and the other end is used to abut against the pressing head 711.

[0097] In this embodiment, firstly, the threaded rod 101 of the fixing screw 10 engages with the internal thread of the hollow cavity 7120 of the pressing button 71, the screw head 102 abuts against the outer side of the baffle 621, and the pressing head 711 of the pressing button 71 abuts against the baffle 621, thereby effectively connecting the pressing button 71 to the housing 6 and preventing the pressing button 71 from detaching from the housing 6; secondly, the pressing rod 712 of the pressing button 71 can pass through the through hole on the baffle 621, thereby ensuring the movement of the pressing button 71 within the second channel 62.

[0098] As the user presses the button 71 from the first pressing position to the second pressing position, the spring between the baffle 621 and the pressing head 711 is continuously compressed. At the same time, the pressing button 71 drives the fixing screw 10 connected to it to move continuously. Since the screw head 102 of the fixing screw 10 abuts against the unlocking lever 41, it can drive the unlocking lever 41 to move synchronously, that is, drive the unlocking lever 41 to move from the first position to the second position. When the pressing head 711 and the baffle 621 abut against each other, the pressing button 71 reaches the second pressing position. At the same time, the unlocking lever 41 also moves to the second position, completing the unlocking of the card tray body 2. The card tray body 2 is pushed out of the card seat 1 under the action of the ejection structure 5. The pressing button 71 is reset from the second pressing position to the first pressing position under the action of the spring.
