Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical connectors, and more particularly to a card cover assembly, card connector, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Patent application No. 201310424210.9, filed in 2013, discloses a card-type split connector, comprising a conductive terminal group mounted on a printed circuit board, a shielding shell soldered to the printed circuit board and forming a receiving space with the conductive terminal group, a tray for holding an electronic card and allowing insertion and removal within the receiving space, and a card ejection mechanism. The card ejection mechanism includes a push rod and a cam mechanism. The shielding shell includes a main body, first and second side portions extending downward from both sides of the main body, and a retaining portion formed by pressing downward from the side of the main body near the second side portion. A mounting portion for mounting the push rod is formed between the second side portion and the retaining portion. The push rod is movably fixed within the mounting portion. The cam component is directly riveted to the tail of the shielding shell by riveting. This patent is the first to disclose how assembling the card ejection mechanism onto the shielding shell eliminates the insulating body, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the card connector.

[0003] Subsequently, a stacked card connector emerged, in which another terminal group corresponding to the conductive terminal group on the printed circuit board is integrally formed on the shielding housing, and electronic card carrying spaces are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the card tray to correspond to the aforementioned two terminal groups. Patent publication number CN120280750A discloses a stacked card cover assembly, including a shielding housing, a fixing member welded to the shielding housing, and a card ejection mechanism assembled on the fixing member. The shielding housing includes a top plate and side walls formed by bending downward from both sides of the top plate laterally. The top plate includes a main plate portion and a recessed portion formed on one lateral outer side of the main plate portion. The fixing member includes a bonding weld portion connected to the recessed portion and a limiting outer wall formed by bending downward from the lateral outer side of the bonding weld portion. The card ejection mechanism includes a push rod and an actuator riveted to the shielding housing. The push rod is installed on the inner side of the limiting outer wall along the card insertion direction. By installing the push rod with a separate fixing component, the product's overall size can be reduced to some extent. However, the push rod and the spring are still arranged laterally, limiting the space for size reduction. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them.

[0028] This application is based on Figure 1 The Y direction is the vertical direction (the direction of inserting and retracting the card), the X direction is the horizontal direction, and the Z direction is the vertical direction above.

[0029] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the card connector of this application includes a first terminal module 30 mounted on a printed circuit board 10, a card cover assembly A covered by the first terminal module 30 and soldered to the printed circuit board 10, a card tray 20, and a card tray moving space S formed in the card cover assembly A and located above the first terminal module 30. The card tray 20 moves in the longitudinal direction within the card tray moving space S.

[0030] The first terminal module 30 includes a first terminal group 32 composed of a plurality of conductive terminals and a plastic part 31 that holds the first terminal group 32 together. The first terminal group 32 extends at least partially into the card tray moving space S to make electrical contact with the electronic card in the card tray 20. The first terminal module 30 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The printed circuit board 10 includes a board body 11 and a plurality of pads 12 disposed on the board body 11. The first terminal group 32 of the first terminal module 30 is welded and fixed to the pads 12 with the cover assembly A.

The first bearing space 201 and the second bearing space 202 are respectively used to store electronic cards, which are SIM cards or TF cards. The outer frame 22 includes a frame body 221 formed around the middle plate 21 and a head 224 formed at the front end of the frame body 221. The lower side of the frame body 221 on both sides of the horizontal direction protrudes outward to form a limiting protrusion 222. The upper part of the limiting protrusion 222 is cut out to form an avoidance part 223. The limiting protrusion 222 has a plurality of groove structures 226 on the horizontal outer side to facilitate the positioning of the card tray 20. The first carrying space 201 and the second space have elastic card holding parts 225 formed on the frame 221 on the front side of the space 202 to keep the electronic card inside from falling out.

[0033] Please continue reading. Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the card cover assembly A of this application includes a shielding housing 50, a second terminal group 90, an insulating body 40 on which the second terminal group 90 is formed on the inner surface of the shielding housing 50, a card ejection mechanism 70, and a detection component 80.

[0034] The shielding housing 50 includes a top plate 51, side walls 53 extending downward from both sides of the top plate 51, and a tail wall 52 extending downward from the rear end of the top plate 51. The card holder moving space S is limited by the top plate 51, the tail wall 52, and the side walls 53. The bend between the side wall 53 and the top plate 51 is defined as the first bending line L1. The side wall 53 is divided into an upper part near the top plate 51 and a lower part away from the top plate 51 in the vertical direction. The lower parts of the two side walls 53 are bent into the card holder moving space S to form a first elastic arm 531 and a second elastic arm 532, respectively. The first elastic arm 531 and the second elastic arm 532 are respectively pressed against the limited protrusion 221 of the card holder 20 and interfere with the groove structure 226 on the limited protrusion 221. The bottom of the sidewall 53 is also bent into the card holder moving space S to form a fixing foot 536. The fixing foot 536 is welded to the printed circuit board 10 for fixation and at the same time has the function of limiting the limited protrusion 221 on the lower side to prevent the card holder 20 from scratching the printed circuit board 10. A riveting hole 55 is provided on the lateral side of the rear end of the top plate 51.

[0035] One of the sidewalls 53 has at least one lower limiting piece 534 torn at the upper portion of the longitudinal ends of the first elastic arm 531 or the second elastic arm 532 toward the card holder moving space S. Preferably, the lower limiting piece 534 is close to the end of the riveting hole 55. In another embodiment, there can be two lower limiting pieces 534, that is, one lower limiting piece 534 is provided at each of the front and rear ends of the sidewall 53. The top plate 51 defines a second bending line L2 inside the first bending line L1. The top plate 51 is torn downward on the second bending line L2 to form a plurality of inner limiting pieces 533 opposite to the sidewall 53. Preferably, there is one inner limiting piece 533 at each of the front and rear ends. The upper portion of the sidewall 53, the lower limiting pieces 534, the top plate 51, and the inner limiting pieces 533 enclose a push rod mounting space 60 extending along the insertion direction. The top plate 51 is torn downward at the push rod mounting space 60 to form a pressing spring 535 that extends elastically into the push rod mounting space 60.

[0036] The top plate 51, located on both sides of the insertion end, is further bent downwards along the second bending line L2 to form supporting portions 54. Each supporting portion 54 includes a vertical portion 541 bent downwards from the top plate 51, a horizontal portion 542 bent outwards from the lower end of the vertical portion 541, and a welded portion 543 bent downwards from the outer end of the horizontal portion 542. The vertical portion 541 and the inner limiting piece 533 are in the same plane, the horizontal portion 542 and the lower limiting piece 534 are in the same plane, and the welded portion 543 and the side wall 53 are in the same plane. A push rod passage space 544 is defined above the horizontal portion 542 and outside the vertical portion 541, and this push rod passage space 544 corresponds to the push rod mounting space 60.

[0037] In one embodiment, the retaining part 54 may be omitted, and only the structure on the sidewall 53 needs to be retained.

[0038] The ejection mechanism 70 includes a push rod 71, a rivet 73, and an actuator 72 riveted to the rivet hole 55 via the rivet 73. The push rod 71 includes a rod body 711, a linkage end 712 located at the rear end of the rod body 711, a pressing end 713 located at the front end of the rod body 711, and a pressing groove 714 provided on the top surface of the rod body 711. The actuator 72 includes a shaft portion 721 rotatably riveted to the rivet hole 55, a prying end 722 formed on the lateral outer side of the shaft portion 721 and interfering with the linkage end 712, and a push portion 723 located on the lateral inner side of the shaft portion 721 and behind the card holder moving space S. The prying end 722 is attached to the upper surface of the shaft portion 721 on the inner surface of the top plate 51, and the push portion 723 is bent downward to avoid the insulating body 40 formed on the inner wall surface of the top plate 51. When the pressing end 713 of the push rod 71 presses backward, the linkage end 712 drives the prying end 722 of the actuator 72 to rotate backward around the shaft 721, thereby causing the push-lock part 723 to rotate forward and push the card holder 20 out.

[0039] The push rod 71 passes through the push rod passage space 544 of the holding part 54 from the card insertion end side and is inserted into the push rod mounting space 60. The inner limiting piece 533, the vertical part 541, and the inner wall surface of the side wall 53 restrict the position of the push rod 71 on both sides in the horizontal direction. The top plate 51, the lower limiting piece 534, and the horizontal part 542 limit the push rod 71 in the vertical direction. The pressing spring piece 535 presses against the pressing groove 714 on the rod body 711 to prevent the push rod from shaking. The first elastic arm 531 or the second elastic arm 532 is located below the push rod mounting space 60, that is, the projection of the first elastic arm 531 or the second elastic arm 532 and the push rod mounting space 60 in the vertical direction overlaps with each other.

[0040] Key references Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, after the card holder 20 is inserted into the card holder moving space S, the limited protrusion 222 of the card holder 20 enters below the push rod mounting space 60 and is limited by the lower limiting piece 534 and the horizontal part 542. At the same time, the groove structure 226 on the limited protrusion 222 is pressed by the first elastic arm 531 and the second elastic arm 532. The push rod 71 and the push rod mounting space 60 are accommodated in the clearance part 223 of the card holder 20.

[0041] The second terminal group 90 is formed by stamping a metal sheet to form a plurality of conductive terminals. Each conductive terminal includes a forming and fixing part 91, a contact part 92 extending from the forming and fixing part 91 into the card holder moving space S, a hole structure penetrating the forming and fixing part 91, and a solder leg 94 extending from the forming and fixing part 91 to the rear end. The conductive terminals are arranged in two columns longitudinally and three rows laterally. The solder leg 94 of the frontmost row of terminals extends from the front end of the conductive terminal, then extends around the lateral outer side of the other conductive terminals, and then bends downward to the rear end. The solder leg 94 is connected to the forming and fixing part 91 as a whole by a surrounding part 95.

[0042] The insulating body 40 integrally forms the second terminal group 90 on the inner surface of the top plate 51 of the shielding housing 50 so that the contact portion 92 of the second terminal group 90 corresponds to the first bearing space 201 of the card tray 20, and the contact portion 92 makes electrical contact with the electronic card in the first bearing space 201. The insulating body 40 includes a base portion 41 that wraps around the second terminal group 90, a terminal deformation space 45 that penetrates the base portion 41 and corresponds to the contact portion 92, and a tail portion 42 that extends downward from the rear end of the base portion 41. The tail portion 42 has a movable terminal mounting groove 44 on the side away from the card ejection mechanism 70, and an opening 43 is also provided inside the movable terminal mounting groove 44.

[0043] The surrounding portion 95 of the second terminal group 90 is formed within the insulating body 40, which can increase the strength of the insulating body 40 to a certain extent.

[0044] The detection component 80 includes a stationary terminal 81 and a moving terminal 82 that is connected / disconnected to the stationary terminal 81. The stationary terminal 81 includes a stationary terminal contact portion 811 erected behind the card holder moving space S and a solder leg 812 formed by bending downward from the stationary terminal contact portion 811. The stationary terminal 81 is integrally stamped and formed within the insulating body 40 along with the second terminal group 90. The insulating body 40 extends downward to form a reinforcing block (not labeled) supporting the front side of the stationary terminal contact portion 811. The opening 43 of the tail portion 42 faces the stationary terminal contact portion 811. The moving terminal 82 includes a fixing part 821 fixed in the moving terminal mounting groove 44, a welding leg 822 bent from the lower end of the fixing part 821, a detection spring arm 823 bent laterally outward from the fixing part 821 and extending towards the card holder moving space S, a tensioning part 824 bent backward from the detection spring arm 823, and a detection contact 825 formed by extending backward from the tensioning part 824 and then bending laterally outward. In the initial state, the detection contact 825 of the moving terminal 82 overlaps with the stationary terminal contact part 811 to form a passage. When the card holder 20 is pushed in, the rear end of the card holder 20 pushes the detection spring arm 823 forward, causing the detection contact to move forward and disengage from the stationary terminal contact part 811 to form a circuit break, thereby forming a switch function.

[0045] This application also includes an electronic device (not shown), which may be a mobile phone, tablet computer, robot, network card, etc. The electronic device includes a device housing and a card connector fixed inside the device housing. The device housing includes a middle frame, and a card insertion slot is provided on the middle frame corresponding to the front end of the card connector. The card insertion slot corresponds to the card tray moving space S to insert a card tray 20 carrying an electronic card from the card insertion slot into the card tray moving space.

[0046] The card cover assembly, card connector, and electronic device of this application both have the push rod mounting space 60 and the first elastic arm 531 located on the lateral side of the shielding housing 50, and the projections of the push rod mounting space 60 and the first elastic arm 531 in the vertical direction overlap. Compared with the existing structure that arranges the two in the lateral direction, the lateral width of the product can be effectively reduced.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The above embodiments merely illustrate preferred implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention should be determined by the appended claims.
