[0002] The IC card is another new type of information tool that emerged after the magnetic card. It stores information through the integrated circuit in the card. The IC card holder is the bridge between the IC card and the application system. With the continuous development of technology, the application of IC cards is increasing, such as medical insurance IC cards, IC card-based bank cards, IC card-based bus cards, etc.

[0003] For example, a waterproof IC card holder with the publication number CN212033292U includes an insulating body, an insulating seat body, and signal pins; the insulating body has an insertion slot, the top wall, rear wall, and left and right side walls of the insertion slot are all closed surfaces, and an installation opening is provided on the bottom wall of the insertion slot; the insulating seat body is arranged in the installation opening, and the bottom surface of the insulating seat body and the sealing between the insulating seat body and the insulating body are sealed by dispensing glue or pasting a sealing plate; the signal pins are arranged on the insulating seat body, and the signal pins have a contact part and a welding part, the contact part is located in the insertion slot, and the welding part extends out of the insulating body. By designing the top wall, rear wall, and left and right side walls of the insertion slot as closed surfaces, and cooperating with the sealing of the bottom surface of the insulating seat body and the sealing between the insulating seat body and the insulating body by dispensing glue or pasting a sealing plate, good waterproof performance can be achieved, so that after water enters the insertion slot, it cannot penetrate through this product into the device, which is beneficial to protecting the device.

[0004] However, according to the working principle proposed in the above patent, the applicant believes that although the above device can enhance the waterproof performance to a certain extent, in actual use, the above device lacks effective protection for the contact interface, and it is easy to affect the service life of the contact point during use.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, an IC card holder with interface protection is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that there is a lack of effective protection for the contact interface in the prior art. For this reason, we propose an IC card holder with interface protection.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: an IC card holder with interface protection, including a cover plate; reset springs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the cover plate, a cover board is fixedly installed at the bottom of the reset springs, a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the middle part of the upper surface of the cover board, a pull rod is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting rod, and the pull rod is movably connected to the cover plate.

[0008] Preferably, clamping plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom surface of the covering plate, and the clamping plates are movably installed inside the side grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the side grooves are formed on the outer surface of the side limiting plates, and baffles are fixedly installed at both ends of the side grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the side limiting plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the plate body, and a slot is formed in the middle part of the upper surface of the plate body.

[0011] Preferably, an upper groove is formed inside the slot, and inner contacts are arranged inside the upper groove.

[0012] Preferably, an outer shell is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the plate body, a lower groove is formed inside the outer shell, and outer contacts are arranged inside the lower groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. Through the arrangement of the covering plate, the present utility model facilitates providing an installation site for structures such as the covering plate and the clamping plates. The covering plate arranged at the bottom of the covering plate can cover the upper groove, thereby providing appropriate protection for the idle inner contacts, preventing dust from falling on their surfaces and reducing the oxidation rate. The covering plate is controlled by a return spring and a pull rod. Under normal conditions, the covering plate is pressed by the spring and will completely cover the upper groove. When an IC card needs to be installed, the user can appropriately pull up the covering plate through the pull rod to separate it from the upper groove, and move the entire covering plate to the side through the clamping plate so that it does not affect the installation of the IC card. After the IC card is installed, the above operations can be repeated, and the covering plate can be returned to its original position. At this time, the covering plate can also form an appropriate limiting and fixing effect on the IC card.

[0015] 2. Through the arrangement of the clamping plates and the side grooves, the present utility model enables the covering plate to horizontally displace along the direction of the side limiting plates. Through the arrangement of the side limiting plates, it is convenient to provide a site for opening the side grooves. Through the arrangement of the baffles, the clamping plates can be limited to prevent excessive movement and resulting in detachment. Through the arrangement of the plate body, it is convenient to provide an installation site for the upper groove, the lower groove and the contacts. Through the arrangement of the slot, it is used for inserting the IC card, and its shape and size match the specifications of the card to ensure that the card can be correctly inserted and contacted. Through the arrangement of the inner contacts and the outer contacts, it is convenient for signal transmission between the IC card and the external main board of the device. Through the arrangement of the outer shell, which is usually made of plastic or metal materials, it can protect the internal structure and contacts and provide a stable card insertion position.

When an IC card needs to be installed, the user can appropriately pull up the cover plate 3 through the pull rod 5 to separate it from the upper slot 12, and move the entire cover plate 3 to the side through the clamping plate 6 so that it does not affect the installation of the IC card. After the IC card is installed, the above operation can be repeated, and the cover plate 3 can be returned to its original position. At this time, the cover plate 3 can also form an appropriate limiting and fixing effect on the IC card.

[0026] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , clamping plates 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom surface of the cover plate 1, and the clamping plates 6 are movably installed inside the side slots 7; through the clamping plates 6 and the side slots 7, the cover plate 1 can be horizontally displaced along the direction of the side limiting plate 8.
