Embodiment

[0021] As Figures 1-3As shown, the present utility model provides a smart card structure, including a surface layer 2 and an interlayer 1. The surface layer 2 is fixed on the upper and lower surfaces of the interlayer 1. A coil 14 and a chip 11 are provided inside the interlayer 1. A fixing block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the chip 11. The interlayer 1 is further provided with a cavity 12 for providing a moving space for the chip 11. The cavity 12 is arranged on one side of the fixing block 15 to surround the chip 11.

[0022] The coil 14 and the chip 11 are placed inside the interlayer 1. The fixing block 15 fixedly connected to one side of the chip 11 enables the chip 11 to be stably fixed at a specific position, providing stable support and ensuring the stable position of the chip 11 inside the smart card. The setting of the cavity 12 allows the chip 11 to have a certain moving space when the smart card is subjected to external forces, thus reducing the risk of damage and avoiding damage caused by excessive squeezing or bending. This design enables the smart card to maintain the integrity of its internal components when bent or subjected to slight external forces, improving its durability.

[0023] See Figure 1 , a protective sheet 16 is provided on the inner side of the cavity 12. The protective sheet 16 is arranged on the side that touches the wall of the cavity 12 when the smart card is bent.

[0024] The protective sheet 16 provides a soft buffer layer, which can provide certain support and buffering effects when the smart card is subjected to external forces. This helps to maintain the stability of the smart card structure, prevent deformation or damage during bending or twisting, reduce the possibility of such direct contact, and thus protect the integrity and functionality of the chip 11 and its surrounding components.

[0025] See Figure 1 , the interlayer 1 is provided with a hard layer 19. The hard layer 19 is arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the interlayer 1.

[0026] The hard layer 19 enhances the overall structural strength of the smart card. Due to the high hardness and strength of the hard layer 19, they can effectively resist external pressure and impact, preventing the smart card from deforming or being damaged during use.

[0027] See Figure 1 , a filling layer 18 is provided between the hard layer 19 and the cavity 12. The filling layer 18 is a flexible content filling structure.

[0028] The filling layer 18, as a flexible content filling structure, has excellent buffering performance; when the smart card is subjected to external impact or pressure, the filling layer 18 can absorb and disperse these forces, reducing the direct collision and friction between the hard layer 19 and the cavity 12; the presence of the filling layer 18 makes the structure of the cavity 12 more stable; it fills the space between the hard layer 19 and the cavity 12, preventing the cavity 12 from deforming or collapsing when the smart card is bent or twisted, helping to keep the chip 11 fixed in the cavity 12 and preventing it from moving or shaking under the action of external forces, thus ensuring the normal operation of the smart card.

[0029] See Figure 1 , the chip 11 is provided with a packaging layer 17, and the packaging layer 17 wraps the chip 11.

[0030] The packaging layer 17 tightly wraps the chip 11, providing a strong outer shell for the chip 11, which effectively prevents the chip 11 from being damaged by external physical damage, such as scratching, impact, etc., ensuring the integrity and security of the chip 11 during the use of the smart card. The packaging layer 17 can shield external electromagnetic interference, ensuring that the internal circuits and data of the chip 11 are not affected.

[0031] See Figure 1 , the chip 11 is provided with a wire 13, one end of the wire 13 is connected to the chip 11, and the other end is connected to the coil 14, and the chip 11 is electrically connected to the coil 14 through the wire 13.

[0032] The coil 14 receives the signal sent by the card reader and transmits these signals to the chip 11 through the wire 13 for processing.

[0033] See Figure 1 , a shrapnel 3 is provided between the surface layer 2 and the interlayer 1, and a groove 22 with the same shape and size as the shrapnel 3 is provided on the inner side of the surface layer 2.

[0034] The design of the shrapnel 3 makes the connection between the surface layer 2 and the interlayer 1 tighter and more stable; the shrapnel 3 can fill the tiny gap between the surface layer 2 and the interlayer 1, reducing the structural looseness caused by manufacturing errors or material expansion / contraction and other factors. This tight connection helps to enhance the overall structural stability of the smart card, preventing it from deforming or being damaged when subjected to external forces. The shrapnel 3 has certain elasticity and buffering performance. When the smart card is subjected to external impact or pressure, the shrapnel 3 can absorb and disperse these forces, reducing the direct impact on the internal components; this helps to protect the key components such as the chip 11 and the coil 14 inside the smart card from being damaged by external forces. By reasonably designing the shape and size of the shrapnel 3, it can be ensured that it fits tightly with the groove 22 on the inner side of the surface layer 2. This fit can improve the connection strength between the surface layer 2 and the interlayer 1.

[0035] See Figure 1, the elastic piece 3 includes at least one of a polypropylene elastic piece, a polycarbonate elastic piece, and a polyurethane elastic piece.

[0036] Polypropylene has excellent physical and chemical properties, such as a small relative density, excellent mechanical properties, high heat resistance, and stable chemical properties. Its excellent impact resistance can effectively reduce the damage to the internal components of the smart card caused by external impacts; the polypropylene elastic piece can provide stable support and buffering in the smart card structure, ensuring the structural stability of the smart card in various environments.

[0037] Polycarbonate has extremely high strength, which ensures that the elastic piece can effectively withstand external pressure. Polycarbonate also has excellent impact resistance and heat resistance, and can maintain stable performance in various harsh environments.

[0038] The polyurethane elastic piece has high elasticity and wear resistance, and can provide better buffering effects and a longer service life.
