[0035] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a SIM card fixing device for a vehicle positioning terminal is provided.

[0036] Specifically, the SIM card 40 fixing device for the vehicle positioning terminal includes: a terminal housing 70, a first limiting member 10, and a second limiting member 20. The first limiting member 10 is connected to the terminal housing 70 and has a receiving cavity. The side wall of the receiving cavity is provided with an opening for inserting and removing the SIM card 40, with a portion of the SIM card 40 protruding from the opening. The second limiting member 20 is connected to the terminal housing 70 and is disposed opposite to the first limiting member 10 and located on one side of the opening. The second limiting member 20 abuts against the end of the SIM card 40 located outside the receiving cavity.

[0037] It should be noted that the SIM card 40 is located inside the terminal housing 70. To facilitate the replacement of the SIM card 40, both the first limiting member 10 and the second limiting member 20 are connected to the front panel 73 of the terminal housing 70. The terminal housing 70 has a spliced ​​structure, and the front panel 73 is bolted to the front opening of the terminal housing 70. The first limiting member 10 is connected to the inner wall of the front panel 73, and the second limiting member 20 is connected to the outer wall of the front panel 73. During the installation and removal of the SIM card 40, the front panel 73 of the terminal housing 70 can be removed first, and then the SIM card 40 can be installed or removed, providing sufficient operating space for the installation and removal of the SIM card 40.

[0038] In the embodiments of this application, the SIM card 40 is inserted into the first limiting member 10 through the opening in the side wall of the receiving cavity. The first limiting member 10 serves as a card holder for the SIM card 40, protecting it. The second limiting member 20 is disposed on the opening side of the receiving cavity and abuts against the end of the SIM card 40 located outside the receiving cavity, thereby fixing the SIM card 40. When replacing the SIM card 40, the second limiting member 20 on the terminal housing 70 is first removed, then the first limiting member 10 is removed, and finally the SIM card 40 is extracted from the receiving cavity, thus replacing the SIM card 40. The above-described SIM card 40 fixing device has a simple structure, and the process of installing and removing the SIM card 40 is easy to operate, facilitating the replacement of the SIM card 40.

[0039] Furthermore, the terminal housing 70 is provided with a first mounting groove 30 and a second mounting groove 31, which are connected through each other. A first limiting member 10 is installed in the first mounting groove 30, and a second limiting member 20 is installed in the second mounting groove 31. Specifically, both the first mounting groove 30 and the second mounting groove 31 are located on the front end plate 73 of the terminal housing 70. Both the first mounting groove 30 and the second mounting groove 31 are rectangular grooves formed on the front end plate 73. The cross-sectional dimension of the first mounting groove 30 is smaller than that of the second mounting groove 31, that is, the cross-sectional dimension of the first limiting member 10 is smaller than that of the second limiting member 20, so that the second limiting member 20 completely abuts against the end of the SIM card 40 located outside the receiving cavity, so that the SIM card 40 is evenly stressed.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the first limiting member 10 is provided with at least one ear plate 11, and the first limiting member 10 is connected to the terminal housing 70 through the ear plate 11. Specifically, an ear plate 11 is connected to each of the two opposite outer sides of the first limiting member 10. After part of the first limiting member 10 extends into the first mounting groove 30, the ear plate 11 abuts against the inner wall of the front end plate 73. The ear plate 11 and the front end plate 73 are connected and fixed by bolts. The ear plate 11 is connected to the front end plate 73 by screw connection, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first limiting member 10 and the front end plate 73.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting member 20 is removably disposed within the second mounting groove 31, and a damping structure is provided between the second limiting member 20 and the second mounting groove 31. Specifically, the second limiting member 20 is a rectangular plate, with one side wall of the front end plate 73 communicating with the second mounting groove 31. The second limiting member 20 is inserted into the second mounting groove 31 from one side of the front end plate 73. The removable and detachable method of the second limiting member 20 improves the speed of SIM card 40 removal and installation. The damping structure between the second limiting member 20 and the second mounting groove 31 limits the second limiting member 20, preventing it from moving freely within the second mounting groove 31.

[0042] The damping structure includes an elastic element 50, which is mounted on the terminal housing 70. At least a portion of the elastic element 50 extends into the second mounting groove 31. A limiting groove is formed on the second limiting member 20, and the elastic element 50 is inserted into the limiting groove. Specifically, the second limiting member 20 is disposed close to the wall of the second mounting groove 31. A cavity 32 is formed on one side of the groove wall of the second mounting groove 31, which is located near the first mounting groove 30. The elastic element 50 is connected to the cavity 32, and at least a portion of the elastic element 50 extends out of the cavity 32 and is inserted into the limiting groove. Further, the elastic element 50 is a V-shaped spring, and the limiting groove is an arc-shaped groove. The bent end of the V-shaped spring is inserted into the arc-shaped groove, and under the action of external force, the V-shaped spring can disengage from the limiting groove. During the pulling process, in order to avoid the second limiting member 20 being continuously subjected to damping force, the elastic member 50 is positioned close to the non-through end of the second mounting groove 31, that is, to shorten the contact time between the elastic member 50 and the second limiting member 20.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a handle 21 is provided on the side of the second limiting member 20 away from the first mounting groove 30, and at least a portion of the handle 21 extends from the second mounting groove 31. Specifically, the handle 21 is positioned close to the insertion end of the second limiting member 20 to help overcome the damping force of the elastic member 50. The second mounting groove 31 communicates with the outer wall of the front end plate 73 so that the handle 21 extends from the second mounting groove 31.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the terminal housing 70 is provided with a sliding groove 71 and a mounting base 60. The sliding groove 71 is located on the side wall of the terminal housing 70, and the mounting base 60 is provided with a locking member 61. The locking member 61 has a locked state where it is stationary relative to the sliding groove 71 and an unlocked state where it slides relative to the sliding groove 71. Specifically, the sliding groove 71 has two symmetrically arranged sections, and the mounting base 60 has two sections corresponding to the sliding groove 71. The locking member 61 consists of a screw, a nut, and a follower block. The follower block is fixed to one end of the screw, and the nut is screwed to the other end of the screw. The follower block is engaged in the sliding groove 71. By tightening the nut, the follower block is pressed against the sliding groove 71, preventing the follower block from moving within the sliding groove 71, thereby locking the locking member 61 to the sliding groove 71. By loosening the nut, a gap is created between the follower block and the sliding groove 71, allowing the follower block to move within the sliding groove 71, thereby unlocking the locking member 61 from the sliding groove 71. The locking element 61 is designed to allow for position adjustment of the mounting base 60.

[0045] Furthermore, the terminal housing 70 is also provided with a guide groove 72 and a guide block 62. The guide groove 72 is formed on the side wall of the terminal housing 70 and is arranged parallel to the sliding groove 71. The guide block 62 is provided on the mounting base 60 and is slidably connected to the guide groove 72. The cooperation between the guide groove 72 and the guide block 62 prevents the mounting base 60 from rotating.

[0046] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, including a vehicle positioning terminal SIM card fixing device, wherein the vehicle positioning terminal SIM card fixing device is the vehicle positioning terminal SIM card fixing device in the above embodiment.

[0047] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0048] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," and "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application.
