Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of card readers, and in particular to a card reader that uses a built-in fan for heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] A card reader is an interface device used in computers to read and write multimedia cards as mobile storage devices. Card readers typically connect via USB and can access various memory card formats, such as CompactFlash and Secure Digital. Commercial versions of card readers can read security smart cards. Card readers are categorized by memory card type, including IC card readers, CF card readers, SM card readers, PCMICA card readers, and Memory Stick readers / writers. Dual-slot card readers can also be used to read two or more types of cards simultaneously. They are also categorized by port type, including serial port card readers, parallel port card readers, and USB card readers.
[0003] Modern card readers support high-speed data transmission (such as UHS-II, UHS-III, PCIe, etc.), and these interfaces generate a lot of heat during high-speed read and write operations. High temperatures can affect the performance of card readers, leading to decreased transmission speeds, increased data error rates, and even potential hardware damage. Cooling card readers using dual fans and heat sinks is an effective thermal management design aimed at ensuring that the card reader maintains a suitable operating temperature under high loads or prolonged operation, thereby improving its performance and reliability.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following deficiencies: In the prior art, there is a lack of a dustproof mechanism. During the heat dissipation process of the fan inside the card reader, external dust will enter the card reader through the air intake, thereby damaging the internal components of the card reader. In order to solve the deficiency of the lack of a dustproof mechanism in the prior art, this application uses components such as a filter and a cleaning brush to filter and clean the dust that enters the card reader body, thereby achieving a dustproof effect.

Each drive gear 7 has a first gear 10 on one side and each first gear 10 meshes with the corresponding drive gear 7. When the drive gear 7 rotates, it drives the drive bar 4 to move up and down reciprocally through the drive pin 8 and drive groove 6. The drive bar 4 drives the cleaning brush 5 to move reciprocally, thereby scraping the filter screen 3 and cleaning the dust.
[0025] Please see Figure 2 Each filter screen 3 has a first bracket 9 fixedly connected to its outer surface, and each first bracket 9 is rotatably connected to a corresponding first gear 10. Each filter screen 3 has an X-shaped bracket 11 fixedly connected to its outer surface, and each X-shaped bracket 11 is rotatably connected to a corresponding drive gear 7.
[0026] Please see Figure 2 The card reader body 1 has a motor 12 fixedly installed inside. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to a second gear 13. The two sides of the second gear 13 are respectively meshed with two first gears 10. When the motor 12 is started, the second gear 13 drives the first gear 10 to rotate.
[0027] Please refer to 1 and 5. The push plate 15 is fixedly connected to the first support rod 16. The first support rod 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the card reader body 1. The outer surface of the first support rod 16 is fitted with a first spring 17. One end of the first spring 17 abuts against the outer surface of the push plate 15, and the other end of the first spring 17 abuts against the inner wall of the card reader body 1.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 , 5 The outer surface of the dust collection box 14 is provided with a wedge groove 20, and a card holder 21 is provided on one side of the dust collection box 14.

[0031] The implementation principle of a card reader based on a built-in fan for heat dissipation in this application embodiment is as follows: When the cooling fan inside the card reader body 1 is started, external air enters the interior of the card reader body 1 through the air inlet 2 and is discharged through the air outlet. Dust in the air is filtered by the filter screen 3. The motor 12 is started, and the output end of the motor 12 drives the second gear 13 to rotate. The second gear 13 drives the first gear 10 to rotate. The first gear 10 drives the drive gear 7 to rotate. The drive gear 7 drives the drive bar 4 to move up and down through the drive pin 8 and the drive groove 6. The drive bar 4 drives the cleaning brush 5 to move, thereby scraping the filter screen 3, so that the dust falls into the interior of the dust collection box 14 below. The sliding slide 18 drives the locking piece 21 to slide. The second spring 23 is compressed, and the locking piece 21 is disengaged from the wedge groove 20. The first spring 17 pushes the push plate 15 to slide. The push plate 15 pushes one end of the dust collection box 14 out of the interior of the card reader body 1, which facilitates the cleaning of the dust collection box 14.
