[0023] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the utility model discloses an electronic card connector 100 for installation in a housing 200, which includes a card holder 10, a card tray 20 inserted into the card holder 10, a magnetic steel 30, a coil 40 and a magnet 50, wherein the magnetic steel 30, the coil 40 and the magnet 50 constitute a card ejection mechanism.

[0024] The card holder 10 includes an insulating seat body 11, a plurality of conductive terminals 12 arranged on the insulating seat body 11, and a metal shell 13 that wraps the insulating seat body 11. The insulating seat body 11 includes a bottom wall 111, a rear wall 112 extending upward from the rear end of the bottom wall 111, and a slot 113 formed between the bottom wall 111 and the rear wall 112. The metal shell 13 includes a bottom wall (not shown) and two side walls 132 extending upward from the left and right ends of the bottom wall. A fixing groove 114 is provided on the top surface of the rear wall 112 to fix and accommodate the magnet 30 and the coil 40. The slot 113 is also located between the two side walls 132. The conductive terminal 12 includes a plurality of contact portions 121 located in the slot 113 and a plurality of welding portions 122 extending from the insulating seat body 11. The welding portions 122 are arranged in a row and located on the upper surface of the rear wall 112.

[0025] The card tray 20 is inserted and pulled out of the slot 113 of the card holder 10, and the insertion and removal force points are eliminated between the card holder 10 and the card tray 20. The card tray 20 includes a main body 21 and a door panel 22 connected to the front end of the main body 21. The main body 21 is provided with a card slot 210 for loading the electronic card 300. The magnet 50 is a rectangular bar extending left and right, and is fixed to the rear or back end of the main body 21 by assembly or insertion molding. The magnet 50 is exposed on the rear end surface of the card tray 20. The magnetic poles of the magnet 50 are arranged front and back, with the N pole in front and the S pole in the back, or the S pole in front and the N pole in the back.

[0026] The magnet 30 is a rectangular strip extending left and right, and is provided with a front flange 31, a rear flange 32 and an annular recess 33 between the front flange 31 and the rear flange 32. The front flange 31 and the rear flange 32 are respectively annular.

[0028] The working principle of the electronic card connector 100 of the utility model is as follows:

[0029] Please combine Figure 1 As shown, when the card tray 20 is in a closed state, the card tray 20 is fully inserted into the card holder 10, and the conductive terminal 12 and the electronic card 300 are electrically contacted together. At this time, the door plate 22 of the card tray 20 is completely accommodated in the housing 200, and the magnetic steel 30 and the magnet 50 are attracted together to ensure that the card tray 20 is firmly adsorbed in the card holder 10, thereby ensuring reliable electrical contact between the conductive terminal 12 and the electronic card 300; please combine Figure 2 As shown, when the card tray 20 is in the pop-up state, the system changes the direction of the magnetic pole of the magnet 30 by changing the current direction of the coil 40. At this time, the magnet 30 and the magnet 50 repel each other, pushing the card tray 20 to move outward relative to the card holder 10. With this process, the door panel 22 gradually and automatically withdraws from the housing 200, so that the card tray 20 can be easily manually pulled out of the housing 200, and the card can be easily taken out, which is simple and easy to operate.

[0030] The electronic card connector 100 of the utility model optimizes the design, cancels the plug-in force test of the card socket 10, simplifies the components of the card socket 10, reduces the size of the card socket 10, and thus improves the space utilization of the whole machine, making the structure of the electronic card connector 100 more compact; in addition, the user does not need to use external auxiliary tools when removing the card, and can directly operate manually, which greatly improves the convenience of use and improves the user experience.
