Detailed Embodiment

[0049] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application. To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the electronic device, etc. will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0050] In the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly defined.

[0051] Currently, in order to balance the Z - direction space of the mobile phone, the SIM card connectors adopted by mobile phones all adopt a push - pull drawer - type design. When inserting and removing the card, the contacts will continuously contact the elastic sheet. During the process of inserting and removing the card, the elastic sheet will cause continuous wear on the contacts. After multiple wearings, the SIM card contacts may be deformed or worn through, and then the problem of unable to recognize the SIM card may occur.

[0052] In response to this, the present application provides a connector, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connector may include a card seat 1, a card holder 2, a conductive elastic sheet 3, an ejection mechanism 4 and a linkage mechanism 5; a slot 11 is formed on the card seat 1, and the card holder 2 is inserted into the slot 11; the conductive elastic sheet 3 is connected to the card seat 1 and has a protruding portion 31 protruding toward the slot 11 in the thickness direction of the card holder 2; the ejection mechanism 4 can, when actuated, force the card holder 2 to move away from the slot 11; the linkage mechanism 5 is movably connected to the card seat 1, and when the ejection mechanism 4 is actuated, the linkage mechanism 5, driven by the ejection mechanism 4, forces the protruding portion 31 to move away from the slot 11 in the thickness direction of the card holder 2.

[0053] In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, a linkage mechanism 5 is provided on the card seat 1, and the linkage mechanism 5 is movably connected to the card seat 1. When it is necessary to pull out the card holder 2, a force is applied to the ejection mechanism 4 on the card seat 1 by a card pin or a ejector pin. The ejection mechanism 4 generates a thrust on the card holder 2, causing the card holder 2 to move away from the card slot. At the same time, the ejection mechanism 4 can also apply a thrust to the linkage mechanism 5, causing the linkage mechanism 5 to move. During the movement of the linkage mechanism 5, it can abut against the protruding portion 31 on the conductive elastic sheet 3 in the slot 11 and provide a lifting force, causing the protruding portion 31 of the conductive elastic sheet 3 to deform and move away from the card holder 2, which is equivalent to "lifting" the conductive elastic sheet 3, reducing or eliminating the pressing of the conductive elastic sheet 3 on the SIM card in the card holder 2, and thus reducing or avoiding the wear of the contacts of the SIM card by the conductive elastic sheet 3 during the pulling-out process, and improving the service life of the conductive elastic sheet 3 and the SIM card.

[0054] In some embodiments, a receiving groove is formed on one side of the card holder 2 in the thickness direction for carrying a SIM card or other electronic card, and the groove wall in the slot 11 connected to the conductive elastic sheet 3 faces the surface of the card holder 2 where the receiving groove is formed.

[0055] Exemplarily, a receiving groove is formed on the upper surface of the card holder 2, the SIM card is placed in the receiving groove, the conductive elastic sheet 3 is connected to the top wall 112 of the slot 11, and the protruding portion 31 on the conductive elastic sheet 3 protrudes toward the card holder 2 and is electrically connected to the contacts on the SIM card.

[0056] It should be noted that when it is necessary to pull out the card holder 2, the card holder 2 moves away from the slot 11; on the contrary, when it is necessary to insert the card holder 2, the card holder 2 moves toward the slot 11, and the moving direction of the card holder 2 is always parallel to the depth direction of the slot 11.

[0057] When the card tray 2 moves towards the direction close to the slot 11, that is, when the card tray 2 is inserted into the slot 11 from the opening of the slot 11, the linkage mechanism 5 abuts against the inner wall of the slot 11 far away from the opening, so that the linkage mechanism 5 moves towards the opening of the slot 11 along the direction parallel to the card tray 2. At this time, the abutting part 52 in the linkage mechanism 5 moves away from the conductive elastic sheet 3 and separates from the conductive elastic sheet 3. The conductive elastic sheet 3 returns to its original state, and the protruding part 31 is electrically connected to the contact on the SIM in the card tray 2.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a through hole 111 is penetrated and opened on the top wall 112 of the slot 11 far away from the card tray 2. The two ends of the conductive elastic sheet 3 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the through hole 111 along the moving direction of the linkage mechanism 5; the linkage mechanism 5 includes a linkage body 51 and an abutting part 52. The linkage body 51 is located outside the card holder 1 and is movably connected to the card holder 1; the abutting part 52 is connected to the linkage body 51 and at least partially penetrates into the through hole 111. The abutting part 52 has an inclined surface 5221 for abutting against the conductive elastic sheet 3.

[0059] In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, the linkage body 51 is movably connected to the card holder 1. One end of the abutting part 52 is connected to the linkage body 51, and the other end passes through the through hole 111 on the card holder 1 and extends into the slot 11. And the linkage part has an inclined surface 5221. When the ejecting mechanism 4 is actuated, it drives the linkage body 51 and the abutting part 52 to move along the direction parallel to the card tray 2. The inclined surface 5221 abuts against the protruding part 31 on the conductive elastic sheet 3 and provides a thrust force, so that the protruding part 31 deforms and moves away from the card tray 2. Furthermore, during the process of pulling out the card tray 2, the conductive elastic sheet 3 is lifted, so that the SIM card in the card tray 2 is separated from the conductive elastic sheet 3, avoiding abrasion and damage.

[0060] In some embodiments, a weight-reducing hole 511 may be formed on the linkage body 51. The weight-reducing hole 511 is located directly above the through hole 111, and the orthographic projection of the through hole 111 on the projection plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the weight-reducing hole 511 on the projection plane. The abutting part 52 is connected to one side of the weight-reducing hole 511 and passes through the through hole 111 and extends into the inside of the slot 11.

[0061] As Figure 1 shown, since the conductive elastic sheet 3 has a protruding part 31 and the protruding part 31 is located in the middle part of the conductive elastic sheet 3, the abutting part 52 needs to move to the position where the protruding part 31 is located to apply a force to the protruding part 31.

[0062] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the abutting portion 52 may include a slider 521 and a wedge block 522; the slider 521 is connected to the linkage body 51, and a through hole 5211 is formed on the surface of the slider 521 facing the ejecting mechanism 4. The side of the conductive elastic sheet 3 away from the ejecting mechanism 4 is inserted through the through hole 5211, and the slider 521 and the conductive elastic sheet 3 can move relatively along the axial direction of the through hole 5211; the wedge block 522 is located on the side of the slider 521 close to the slot 11 and is connected to the slider 521. The side of the wedge block 522 away from the slider 521 has an inclined surface 5221.

[0063] One end of the slider 521 is connected to the linkage body 51 and can move along with the linkage body 51. A through hole 5211 is formed on the slider 521, and the conductive elastic sheet 3 and the slider 521 can achieve relative movement through the through hole 5211. When the linkage body 51 moves driven by the ejecting mechanism 4, the slider 521 moves relatively in the direction close to the protruding portion 31 of the conductive elastic sheet 3. A wedge block 522 is arranged on one side of the slider 521. During the movement, the inclined surface 5221 on the wedge block 522 abuts against the conductive elastic sheet 3, so that the protruding portion 31 of the conductive elastic sheet 3 moves away from the card tray 2, thereby ensuring the separation of the conductive elastic sheet 3 from the SIM card in the card tray 2 when the card tray 2 is pulled out.

[0064] Optionally, the inclination direction of the inclined surface 5221 conforms to the gradually protruding direction of the conductive elastic sheet 3. When the inclined surface 5221 abuts against the conductive elastic sheet 3, a force perpendicular to the inclined surface 5221 can be applied to the surface of the conductive elastic sheet 3 in contact with the inclined surface 5221, so that the conductive elastic sheet 3 is more likely to deform and move away from the card tray 2. That is, when the card tray 2 is pulled out, the linkage mechanism 5 has a higher efficiency in lifting the conductive elastic sheet 3, further reducing the probability of wear and damage.

[0065] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the inclined surface 5221 is parallel to the surface of the conductive elastic sheet 3 for abutting against the abutting portion 52.

[0066] In order to realize functions such as connecting to the power supply, connecting to the ground wire, data transmission, and communication signal transmission, the SIM card usually has a plurality of contacts. Therefore, a plurality of conductive elastic sheets 3 are generally arranged in the connector, and the conductive elastic sheets 3 are connected to the contacts one by one.

[0067] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, the number of the conductive elastic sheets 3 may be multiple. The multiple conductive elastic sheets 3 are respectively connected to the groove walls of the slot 11 and are arranged in an array; the number of the abutting portions 52 is multiple, and each abutting portion 52 corresponds to one conductive elastic sheet 3.

[0068] There are multiple conductive elastic pieces 3, and there are also multiple abutting parts 52 connected to the linkage body 51, and the number is the same as that of the conductive elastic pieces 3. One abutting part 52 corresponds to one conductive elastic piece 3. When the linkage body 51 moves driven by the ejecting mechanism 4, each abutting part 52 abuts against the corresponding conductive elastic piece 3, and forces the protruding part 31 on each conductive elastic piece 3 to move away from the slot 11 in the thickness direction of the card tray 2, so that during the process of pulling out the card tray 2, the multiple conductive elastic pieces 3 are all separated from the contacts on the SIM, avoiding wear and damage.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, a first linkage part 512 is provided on one side of the linkage body 51 close to the ejecting mechanism 4. The first linkage part 512 is located on the opposite side of the stress point when the ejecting mechanism 4 is actuated. When the ejecting mechanism 4 is actuated, the first linkage part 512 drives the linkage body 51 and the abutting part 52 to move parallel to the card tray 2 under the push of the ejecting mechanism 4, and the abutting part 52 presses against the protruding part 31, so that the protruding part 31 deforms in the thickness direction of the card tray 2 and moves away from the slot 11.

[0070] In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, a first linkage part 512 is provided on the linkage body 51. When the ejecting mechanism 4 is actuated, since the first linkage part 512 is located on the opposite side of the stress point of the ejecting mechanism 4, the ejecting mechanism 4 abuts against the first linkage part 512 and applies a thrust force. The first linkage part 512, the linkage body 51 and the abutting part 52 are an integral component. When the first linkage part 512 moves, it can drive the abutting part 52 to move, and then apply a thrust force to the protruding part 31 of the conductive elastic piece 3, causing the protruding part 31 to deform and separate from the SIM card in the card tray 2.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, a second linkage part 513 is provided on one side of the linkage body 51 close to the ejecting mechanism 4; wherein, a card pin insertion hole 5131 is penetrated through the second linkage part 513, and the position of the card pin insertion hole 5131 corresponds to the position of the stress point when the ejecting mechanism 4 is actuated.

[0072] When it is necessary to pull out the card tray 2, the user inserts a card pin into the card pin insertion hole 5131. The card pin can abut against the ejecting mechanism 4 and actuate the ejecting mechanism 4 to move, thereby applying a thrust force to the first linkage part 512. At the same time, the ejecting mechanism 4 also abuts against the card tray 2, so that the card tray 2 and the linkage mechanism 5 move in opposite directions. When the card tray 2 is removed from the slot 11, the conductive elastic piece 3 is lifted, reducing or avoiding wear.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the ejecting mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, a first rod body 42, and a second rod body 43; the rotating shaft 41 can rotate relative to the card holder 1, and the first rod body 42 and the second rod body 43 are respectively connected to the rotating shaft 41. Among them, along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 41, there is a gap between the first rod body 42 and the second rod body 43. Thus, when the first rod body 42 is actuated, the second rod body 43 ejects the cartridge holder 2.

[0074] Optionally, the rotating shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the card holder 1 or rotatably connected to the housing of the electronic device (such as the middle frame).

[0075] In the connector provided by the embodiment of the present application, the rotating shaft 41 of the ejecting mechanism 4 can rotate relative to the card holder 1, and the first rod body 42 and the second rod body 43 are respectively fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 41. When the user applies a thrust to the first rod body 42 through the card pin, the first rod body 42 will drive the second rod body 43 to rotate synchronously, so that the second rod body 43 can apply a reverse thrust to the cartridge holder 2, thereby pushing out the cartridge holder 2 and making it exit the slot 11.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the first rod body 42 and the second rod body 43 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 41; among them, at least part of the first rod body 42 is located between the first linkage part 512 and the second linkage part 513, and is used to push the linkage mechanism 5 to move in a direction parallel to the cartridge holder 2 when actuated. At least part of the second rod body 43 is located in the slot 11, and is used to abut against the cartridge holder 2 when actuated and push the cartridge holder 2 to move away from the slot 11.

[0077] Thus, the first rod body 42 can rotate to abut against the first linkage part 512 under the actuation of the card pin and push the first linkage part 512 to move. The second rod body 43 is located inside the slot 11 and is used to abut against the cartridge holder 2, so that while the cartridge holder 2 is pulled out, the abutting part 52 on the linkage mechanism 5 lifts the protruding part 31 of the conductive elastic sheet 3, avoiding abrasion of the SIM card in the cartridge holder 2 by the conductive elastic sheet 3.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a first moving part 12 is provided on the outer wall of the card holder 1, and a second moving part 514 is provided on the linkage body 51. The second moving part 514 is connected to the first moving part 12, and the second moving part 514 can perform a relative movement parallel to the moving direction of the cartridge holder 2 with the first moving part 12.

[0079] In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, a first moving part 12 is installed on the outer wall of the card seat 1. The second moving part 514 on the linkage body 51 can move relative to the first moving part 12 after cooperation. When the ejecting mechanism 4 is forced to actuate by an external force, it can push the linkage mechanism 5 to move in a direction parallel to the card tray 2 to lift or lower the conductive elastic sheet 3.

[0080] Optionally, the first moving part 12 and the second moving part 514 are one of a slide rail and a sliding unit capable of sliding in the slide rail and the other.

[0081] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the first moving part 12 includes a first slide rail 121 and a second slide rail 122. The first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the card seat 1 in the width direction. The extending directions of the first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122 are both parallel to the moving direction of the card tray 2, and the width direction is perpendicular to the moving direction of the card tray 2; the second moving part 514 includes a first sliding unit 5141 and two second sliding units 5142. The first sliding unit 5141 and the first linkage part 512 are located on the same side of the linkage body 51 and on the side of the linkage body 51 away from the ejecting mechanism 4. The first sliding unit 5141 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 121. The two second sliding units 5142 are located on different sides of the linkage body 51 from the first sliding unit 5141, and the two second sliding units 5142 are arranged at intervals in the moving direction of the card tray 2. The two second sliding units 5142 are respectively slidably connected to the second slide rail 122.

[0082] When the user applies a force to the ejecting mechanism 4 with a card pin, the first rod body 42 of the ejecting mechanism 4 abuts against the first linkage part 512 on the linkage mechanism 5. The first moving unit 5141 and the second moving unit 5142 are arranged on the linkage body 51 and are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding slide rails. When the first rod body 42 pushes the first linkage part 512, the linkage body 51 can slide along the first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122. Furthermore, the inclined surface 5221 on the abutting part 52 lifts the conductive elastic sheet 3 during the movement, reducing the wear of the conductive elastic sheet 3 and the SIM card.

[0083] Optionally, the sliding unit can also be a component such as a pulley that can slide in the slide rail. Those skilled in the art can select and adjust the type of the sliding unit according to actual needs.

[0084] The present application also provides an electronic device, and the electronic device includes the above-mentioned connector.

[0085] In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application, a linkage mechanism 5 is arranged on the card holder 1. The linkage mechanism 5 is movably connected to the card holder 1. When it is necessary to pull out the card tray 2, a force is applied to the ejection mechanism 4 on the card holder 1 through a card pin or a ejector pin. The ejection mechanism 4 generates a thrust force on the card tray 2, causing the card tray 2 to move in a direction away from the card slot. At the same time, the ejection mechanism 4 can also apply a thrust force to the linkage mechanism 5, causing the linkage mechanism 5 to move. During the movement of the linkage mechanism 5, it can abut against the protrusion 31 on the conductive elastic sheet 3 in the slot 11 and provide a lifting force, causing the protrusion 31 of the conductive elastic sheet 3 to deform and move in a direction away from the card tray 2, which is equivalent to "lifting" the conductive elastic sheet 3, reducing or eliminating the pressing force of the conductive elastic sheet 3 on the SIM card in the card tray 2, and further reducing or avoiding the wear of the SIM card contacts by the conductive elastic sheet 3 during the pulling-out process, thereby improving the service life of the conductive elastic sheet 3 and the SIM card.

[0086] Moreover, due to the adoption of the above connector, the damage probability of the conductive elastic sheet 3 is reduced, the service life of the connector is improved, and further the damage probability and repair times of the electronic device are reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0087] After considering the specification and practicing the disclosed utility model herein, those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present application. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present application, which follow the general principles of the present application and include the common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present application. The specification and embodiments are only regarded as exemplary.

[0088] It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exact structure already described and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope.
