[0034] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a card connector 100 according to an exemplary embodiment,Figure 3 is Figure 2 An exploded view of the card seat connector 100. As shown, the card seat connector 100 can be assembled at a set side of an electronic device. By configuring a SIM card through the card seat connector 100, the communication function of the electronic device can be realized. For example, the card seat connector 100 can be applied to a folding electronic device or a straight-line electronic device, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Figures 1-3 The card seat connector 100 includes a card seat 1 and a card holder 2, wherein the card seat 1 can be fixedly arranged in an electronic device, such as the card seat 1 can be fixedly connected between any fixed structure in the electronic device, the card seat 1 includes a mounting groove 11, and the card holder 2 can be detachably assembled in the mounting groove 11, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the card holder 2 relative to the card seat 1, so that the assembly of the SIM card can be realized in the disassembled state, and the communication of the SIM card can be realized in the assembled state.
[0035] The card holder 2 can include a plurality of card positions arranged side by side, such as
[0036] As shown, the card holder 2 includes a first card position 21 and a second card position 22, the side-by-side direction of the first card position 21 and the second card position 22 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the card holder 2, and also perpendicular to the thickness direction of the card seat connector 100. It can be understood that the insertion direction of the card holder 2 is usually perpendicular to the corresponding side of the electronic device, so the side-by-side direction of the first card position 21 and the second card position 22 is arranged along the side where the card seat connector 100 is arranged. For example, taking a folding electronic device as an example, the first card position 21 and the second card position 22 can be arranged along the length direction of the folding electronic device in the unfolded state, so that the arrangement of multiple card positions can be avoided to cause the card seat connector 100 to excessively extend into the interior of the folding electronic device, thereby providing space in the rotation shaft direction of the folding electronic device, which is beneficial to improve the battery capacity of the folding electronic device and prolong the battery life. Of course, when the card seat connector 100 is assembled in a straight-line electronic device, the card seat connector can also be arranged at a position relatively close to the edge to arrange multiple card positions, thereby being beneficial to improve the battery capacity. The above-mentioned effects can also be achieved. This is only an example that the card holder 2 includes the first card position 21 and the second card position 22, and in other embodiments, the card holder 2 can certainly include three or more card positions, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0039] The length of the first extension arm 122 in the insertion direction of the card holder 2 can be equal to the length of the upper plate 121 in the same direction, or the length of the first extension arm 122 in the insertion direction of the card holder 2 can be less than the length of the upper plate 121 in the same direction. Similarly, the length of the second extension arm 123 in the insertion direction of the card holder 2 can be equal to the length of the upper plate 121 in the same direction, or the length of the second extension arm 123 in the insertion direction of the card holder 2 can be less than the length of the upper plate 121 in the same direction, which are not limited by the present disclosure.
[0040] Further, as shown in Figure 2 The card holder 2 includes a second step portion 23 which is in contact with the first step portion 15. By providing the second step portion 23 on the card holder 2 to cooperate with the first step portion 15, the thickness limitation of the card holder 2 can be reduced, which is conducive to the configuration of the card holder 2 to a suitable thickness for the assembly of the SIM card.
[0041] In some embodiments, the card seat connector 100 further comprises a push rod assembly 3 and a rotating shaft structure 4, the push rod assembly 3 is in sliding fit with the card seat 1, which can be understood as the push rod assembly 3 is in sliding fit with the card seat 1 along the insertion direction of the card holder 2, the rotating shaft structure 4 comprises a rotating shaft 41 and an acting member 42 hinged to the rotating shaft 41, the push rod assembly 3 is connected with the acting member 43, and when the push rod assembly 3 is subjected to an inward force along the insertion direction of the card holder 2 and moves inward along the insertion direction of the card holder 2, the acting member 42 can be rotated relative to the rotating shaft 41, so as to exert an outward force along the insertion direction on the card holder 2, and the card holder 2 is ejected, thereby facilitating the complete assembly of the card seat connector 100 in the electronic device and improving the aesthetics.
[0042] Further, the first shell 12 further comprises a third extension arm 124, which is located on the same side of the upper plate 121 as the first extension arm 122, and the third extension arm 124 is located closer to the outer side relative to the first extension arm 122, for example Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the third extension arm 124 is located closer to the right side relative to the first extension arm 122, and the first extension arm 122 is located behind the third extension arm 124 in the direction of the card holder insertion; the push rod assembly 3 comprises a push rod 31 and a pressing portion 32 connected with the push rod 31, the push rod 31 is located between the first extension arm 122 and the third extension arm 124, and the pressing portion 32 is bent relative to the push rod 31 and located on the outer side of one end of the third extension arm 124 close to the first extension arm 122. In this way, the pressing portion 32 is located outside the mounting groove 11 of the card seat 1, and an acting force is exerted on the pressing portion 32 to move the push rod assembly 3.
[0043] The upper plate 121 further comprises a weight-reducing opening 125 corresponding to the push rod 31, so that the weight-reducing opening 125 can not only reduce the weight, but also directly observe the movement of the push rod 31, which is convenient for detection and maintenance.
