[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a card tray 110 assembly for an electronic device, including:

[0037] a card tray 110 , the card tray 110 being disposed in a carrier plate 210 of the electronic device and being configured to be movable along the carrier plate 210 ;

[0038] a shifting block 120 , the shifting block 120 being configured to push the card tray 110 to move along the carrying plate 210 , so as to push the card tray 110 out of the housing 240 of the electronic device;

[0039] a toggle key 130 movably disposed on the housing 240 of the electronic device and connected to the toggle block 120 ; and

[0040] The elastic member 140 has one end connected to the toggle key 130 and the other end being a fixed end 143; wherein, when the toggle key 130 drives the toggle block 120 to push the card tray 110 out of the housing 240 of the electronic device, the elastic member 140 is pulled or compressed.

[0041] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, when the card tray 110 needs to be removed, an external force is applied to the toggle key 130 to push the toggle block 120 to operate, and the card tray 110 is moved along the carrying plate 210 that carries the card tray 110 to push the card tray 110 out of the housing 240 of the electronic device. In addition, since an elastic member 140 is provided, one end of the elastic member 140 is connected to the toggle key 130, and the other end is a fixed end 143. When an external force is applied to the toggle key 130, the elastic member 140 is compressed or pulled, and then after the card tray 110 is pushed out of the housing 240 of the electronic device, the elastic member 140 can drive the toggle key 130 to reset. Therefore, in the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the card tray 110 can be removed by arranging the toggle block 120, the toggle key 130 and the elastic member 140 on the electronic device without carrying tools such as a card pin, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0042] In an embodiment, the elastic member 140 can be provided on the side of the toggle key 130 in the direction of removing the card tray 110. At this time, the elastic member 140 is under pressure during the process of pushing the card tray 110 out. When the card tray 110 is removed and the toggle key 130 is released, the elastic member 140 rebounds and drives the toggle key 130 to reset. Or Figure 1 As shown, the elastic member 140 can be provided on the other side of the toggle key 130 from which the card tray 110 is removed. In this case, the elastic member 140 is in tension during the process of pushing the card tray 110 out. When the card tray 110 is removed and the toggle key 130 is released, the elastic member 140 rebounds, causing the toggle key 130 to return to its original position. Furthermore, the provision of the elastic member 140 prevents accidental removal of the card tray 110 due to inadvertent contact with the toggle key 130, as the elastic force of the elastic member 140 must be overcome before the card tray 110 can be removed.

[0043] In the embodiment, the fixed end 143 can be understood as one end of the elastic member 140 configured to be fixed to the electronic device. As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the fixed end 143 is provided with a first fixing portion for cooperating with a second fixing portion inside the electronic device; wherein the first fixing portion is one of a fixing hole 1431 or a fixing column; and the second fixing portion is the other of the fixing hole or the fixing column. For example, in the embodiment, a fixing column is provided on the inner side of the middle frame 230 / housing 240 of the electronic device, and a fixing hole 1431 is provided on the elastic member 140, and the fixing hole 1431 is sleeved on the fixing column (tight fit).

[0044] In an embodiment, the elastic member 140 may be a spring, a spring sheet, or the like, which has a structure that can be deformed under an external force and can restore the deformation after the external force is removed.

[0045] In an embodiment, the carrier board 210 is disposed on a circuit board 220 of an electronic device.

[0046] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the elastic member 140 includes a first elastic arm 141 and a second elastic arm 142. The first elastic arm 141 and the second elastic arm 142 are connected and intersect with each other. The end of the first elastic arm 141 away from the second elastic arm 142 is connected to the toggle key 130, and the end of the second elastic arm 142 away from the first elastic arm 141 is the fixed end 143 or is connected to the fixed end 143. When the elastic member 140 is compressed or stretched, the space between the first elastic arm 141 and the second elastic arm 142 is compressed or expanded because they are connected and intersect with each other, forming a V-shape. As a result, the elastic member 140 is in a state of accumulation, so as to drive the toggle key 130 to return to its original position after the toggle key 130 is released.

[0047] In an embodiment, the number of the first elastic arm 141 section and the second elastic arm 142 section is not specifically limited. For example, the first elastic arm 141 section and the second elastic arm 142 section can form a V-shaped structure, a W-shaped structure, and a structure in which multiple V-shaped structures are connected in sequence. When the number of the first elastic arm 141 section and the second elastic arm 142 section is multiple, the end of the first elastic arm 141 section away from the second elastic arm 142 section is connected to the toggle key 130, and the end of the second elastic arm 142 section away from the first elastic arm 141 section is the fixed end 143 or is connected to the fixed end 143. It is understood that: the end of the first elastic arm 141 section closest to the toggle key 130 away from the second elastic arm 142 section connected thereto is connected to the toggle key 130, and the end of the second elastic arm 142 section farthest from the toggle key 130 away from the first elastic arm 141 section connected thereto is the fixed end 143 or is connected to the fixed end 143.

[0048] In the embodiment, the end of the second elastic arm 142 away from the first elastic arm 141 is the fixed end 143 or connected to the fixed end 143, that is, the fixed end 143 can be a structure on the second elastic arm 142, or the elastic member 140 can be provided with a fixed end 143, and the fixed end 143 is connected to the second elastic arm 142 (such as Figure 2 disc-shaped structure shown above).

[0049] As an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, both the first elastic arm 141 and the second elastic arm 142 are arranged at an angle to the movement direction of the dial block 120. In this embodiment, when the elastic member 140 is compressed or stretched, the space between the first elastic arm 141 and the second elastic arm 142 is compressed or expanded, and the compression or expansion occurs in the direction of the shifting movement. As a result, the elastic member 140 accumulates momentum in the direction of the shift block 120, thereby driving the toggle key 130 to reset after the toggle key 130 is released.

[0050] In the embodiment, the first elastic arm 141 section and the second elastic arm 142 section may be made of plastic or metal springs.

[0051] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the dial block 120 includes a main body section 122 and a push section 121. The push section 121 is located on the main body section 122 and bent toward the card tray 110. The toggle button 130 is connected to the main body section 122. The push section 121 is used to push the card tray 110. In some embodiments, the push section 121 is located at the edge of the main body section 122, which means that the dial block 120 has a generally L-shaped structure. When a wall force is applied to the toggle button 130, the push section 121 is driven to push the card tray 110.

[0052] As an alternative to the above embodiment, the body section 122 is provided with a first connecting portion 1221, and the toggle key 130 is connected to the first connecting portion 1221. For example, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 1221 may have a snap-fit ​​structure, a welded structure, a threaded structure, etc. The toggle key 130 may be snap-fitted to the first connecting portion 1221, welded to the body section 122, or threadedly connected to the body section 122.

[0053] As an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, the toggle key 130 includes a toggle section 131, a transition section 132, and a second connecting portion 133; the toggle section 131 and the second connecting portion 133 are located on opposite sides of the transition section 132; the toggle section 131 is used to withstand the thrust of toggling the card tray 110, the second connecting portion 133 is connected to the first connecting portion 1221, and the transition section 132 is connected to the elastic member 140. In an embodiment, the toggle section 131, the transition section 132, and the second connecting portion 133 are integrally formed. Generally speaking, the toggle key 130 is a plastic part. In some embodiments, the toggle key 130 and the elastic member 140 are integrally formed.

[0054] In some embodiments, the transition section 132 maintains a sliding contact relationship with the middle frame 230 of the electronic device. For example, a groove for the transition section 132 is provided on the middle frame 230; the transition section 132 maintains a sliding contact with the bottom wall of the groove; a clearance hole is provided on the bottom wall of the groove to make way for the second connection part 133 or the first connection part 1221, that is, the second connection part 133 or the first connection part 1221 passes through the clearance hole.

[0055] In some embodiments, the toggle section 131 is configured to be touchable by a user. For example, the housing 240 of the electronic device has a side surface in the thickness direction, which is provided with a groove 241. The toggle key 130 is movably disposed in the groove 241. Generally speaking, the toggle key 130 is flush with the side surface or slightly higher than the toggle key 130. The bottom of the groove 241 is in sliding contact with the toggle section 131, and the bottom of the groove is also provided with a clearance hole to make way for the connection between the toggle section 131 and the transition section 132.

[0056] In some embodiments, in order to maintain the appearance of the electronic device, a cover may be provided over the toggle key 130 to hide the toggle key 130 so that the housing 240 of the electronic device has continuity.

[0057] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the distance that the card tray 110 is pushed out of the housing 240 of the electronic device by the selector 120 is a first distance a; the movable distance that the toggle key 130 can move along the housing 240 of the electronic device is a second distance b; and the movable distance that the selector 120 can move within the housing 240 of the electronic device is a third distance c; the first distance is less than the second distance, and the second distance is less than the third distance. In an embodiment, through such a configuration, when the selector 120 is moved by the toggle key 130, the selector 120 can first move a short distance (for example, 5 mm) before contacting the card tray 110, and then the card tray 110 can be pushed out of the electronic device, thereby preventing the card tray 110 from accidentally being dislodged due to the toggle key 130 being accidentally pressed. Furthermore, setting the third distance greater than the second distance allows the selector 120 to have a wider range of motion (i.e., the space for accommodating the selector 120 is larger), facilitating installation of the selector 120.

[0058] The present application also provides an electronic device including the aforementioned card tray 110 assembly. The specific structure of the card tray 110 assembly is similar to the above-described embodiment. Since the card tray 110 assembly utilizes all the technical solutions of all the above-described embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, and thus will not be described in detail here. In the embodiment, the electronic device may be a mobile phone.

[0059] As an alternative to the above embodiment, the housing 240 of the electronic device includes a side surface extending in the thickness direction, the side surface having a groove 241 formed therein, and the toggle key 130 is movably mounted in the groove 241. In some embodiments, the transition section 132 maintains a sliding contact relationship with the middle frame 230 of the electronic device. For example, the middle frame 230 includes a recessed groove for the transition section 132; the transition section 132 maintains sliding contact with the bottom wall of the recessed groove; and the bottom wall of the recessed groove includes a clearance hole for the second connecting portion 133 or the first connecting portion 1221, i.e., the second connecting portion 133 or the first connecting portion 1221 passes through the clearance hole. In some embodiments, the toggle section 131 is configured to be touchable by a user. For example, the housing 240 of the electronic device includes a side surface extending in the thickness direction, the side surface having a groove 241 formed therein, and the toggle key 130 is movably mounted in the groove 241. Generally, the toggle key 130 is flush with the side surface or slightly higher than the toggle key 130. The bottom of the groove portion 241 is in sliding contact with the toggle section 131 , and a clearance hole is also defined at the bottom of the groove to make way for the connection between the toggle section 131 and the transition section 132 .

[0060] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the application concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
