[0040] This application provides a connector 100, please refer to... Figures 1-7The connector 100 includes an insulating body 1, a terminal assembly 2, a latch 3, and an unlocking assembly 4. The insulating body 1 is used for inserting an electronic card 200. The terminal assembly 2 is disposed on the insulating body 1 and is used to hold the electronic card 200. The latch 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the insulating body 1 and is used to lock or unlock the electronic card 200. The unlocking assembly 4 is disposed on the insulating body 1, one end of which is connected to the latch 3. The unlocking assembly 4 is movable relative to the insulating body 1 and abuts against the insulating body 1. When the electronic card 200 is inserted, the electronic card 200 pushes the latch 3 and the ejector 42 to rotate. The latch 3 drives the linkage 41 to move until the electronic card 200 is inserted into place and the latch 3 locks the electronic card 200. When the electronic card 200 is removed, the electronic card 200 pushes the latch 3 to rotate, driving the linkage 41 to move until the latch 3 releases the electronic card 200.

The third rotating groove 14 is located at the other end of the insulating body 1, connecting the slot 11 and the mounting groove 15, and is used for mounting the unlocking component 4. The mounting groove 15 is used for mounting the unlocking component 4.

[0042] For terminal assembly 2 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 7 Terminal assembly 2 is disposed on insulating body 1. One end of terminal assembly 2 extends into slot 11, and the other end of terminal assembly 2 extends out of insulating body 1. One end of terminal assembly 2 is used to hold electronic card 200.

[0043] For the above-mentioned latch 3, please refer to Figure 8The locking part 32 is housed in the second rotating groove 12, and the latch 3 can rotate relative to the second rotating groove 12. The latch 3 is provided with a slot 31, a locking part 32, a first connecting shaft 33, a second connecting shaft 34, and a third connecting shaft 35. The slot 31 is used for inserting one end of the electronic card 200, and the bottom of the slot 31 is used for pushing the electronic card 200 against it. The locking part 32 extends from the side wall of the slot 31, and the locking part 32 is opposite to the bottom of the slot 31. The locking part 32 is used to lock or unlock the electronic card 200, and the locking part 32 is used for pushing the electronic card 200 against it. When the electronic card 200 is inserted, one end of the electronic card 200 is inserted into the card slot 31, and the other end of the electronic card 200 pushes against the bottom of the card slot 31 to drive the latch 3 to rotate until the electronic card 200 is fully inserted. The locking part 32 is then inserted into the electronic card 200 to lock it. When the electronic card 200 is removed, the electronic card 200 pushes against the locking part 32 to drive the latch 3 to rotate, thereby moving the unlocking component 4 until the locking part 32 rotates and disengages from the electronic card 200 to unlock it. The first connecting shaft 33 is rotatably connected to one end of the unlocking component 4. When the latch 3 rotates, the first connecting shaft 33 is used to drive the unlocking component 4 to move. The second connecting shaft 34 is connected to one end of the unlocking component 4. The third connecting shaft 35 is rotatably inserted into the rotating hole 13 so that the latch 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the insulating body 1, thereby causing the latch 3 to rotate around the third connecting shaft 35.

[0044] For the unlocking component 44 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 7 The unlocking component 44 includes a linkage 41 and an ejector 42. The linkage 41 is disposed in the mounting groove 15, abuts against the wall of the mounting groove 15, and can move along the mounting groove 15. One end of the linkage 41 is rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 33, and the other end is connected to the second connecting shaft 34. The linkage 41 is used to keep the latch 3 in the unlocked state after unlocking. The ejector 42 is connected to the other end of the linkage 41. The ejector 42 is used to push the other end of the electronic card 200 when it is pulled out, reducing the possibility of damage to one end of the electronic card 200 from collision with the latch 3.

[0045] The linkage 41 is provided with a through hole 411, a first limiting groove 412, a linkage groove 413, a first spring arm 414, and a second spring arm 415. The through hole 411 is located at one end of the linkage 41, allowing the first connecting shaft 33 to rotatably insert into it, so that when the latch 3 rotates, the first connecting shaft 33 rotates relative to the through hole 411, pushing the linkage 41 to move. The first limiting groove 412 is located at one end of the linkage 41, allowing the second connecting shaft 34 to insert into it, so that the second connecting shaft 34 moves along the first limiting groove 412. The first limiting groove 412 limits the movement position of the second connecting shaft 34, thereby limiting the latch 3 to rotate between the locked and unlocked positions. The linkage groove 413 is located at one end of the linkage 41, and the linkage groove 413 is inclined near the other end sidewall of the linkage 41, allowing the ejector 42 to insert into it. The first spring arm 414 and the second spring arm 415 both abut against the insulating body 1. The first spring arm 414 is located on one side of the linkage member 41, and the second spring arm 415 is located on the other side of the linkage member 41. The first spring arm 414 and the second spring arm 415 are both used to keep the linkage member 41 fixed without external force, so that when the electronic card 200 is pulled out, the latch 3 is kept in the unlocked position.

[0046] In some embodiments, the insulating body 1 is provided with a second limiting groove 16, which is connected to the mounting groove 15. The first elastic arm 414 is inserted into the second limiting groove 16, and the second limiting groove 16 is used to limit the first elastic arm 414.

[0047] The ejector 42 is provided with a rotating shaft 421, an ejector portion 422, and a linkage portion 423. The rotating shaft 421 is rotatably inserted into the third rotating groove 14, so that the rotating shaft 421 is rotatably disposed at the other end of the insulating body 1. The ejector portion 422 is fixed to the rotating shaft 421 and is disposed in the slot 11. The linkage portion 423 is fixed to the rotating shaft 421, and the end of the linkage portion 423 away from the rotating shaft 421 is inserted into the linkage groove 413, so that the end of the linkage portion 423 away from the rotating shaft 421 is connected to the other end of the linkage member 41. When the electronic card 200 is pulled out, the linkage member 41 moves, so that the linkage portion 423 moves along the inclined linkage groove 413 close to the other end side wall of the linkage member 41, driving the ejector portion 422 to rotate and push the other end of the electronic card 200.

[0048] It is understood that in some embodiments, the latch 3 and the linkage 41 are not limited to the structure described above, and the latch 3 and the linkage 41 can be other structures. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 9-13For example, the latch 3 does not have the aforementioned first connecting shaft 33 and second connecting shaft 34, but instead has a rotating part 36. The linkage 41 does not have the aforementioned through hole 411 and first limiting groove 412, but instead has a first rotating groove 416 and a first opening 417. The first rotating groove 416 is located at one end of the linkage 41, and the rotating part 36 is inserted into it so that when the latch 3 rotates, the rotating part 36 pushes the linkage 41 to move. The first opening 417 is located at one end of the linkage 41, and the first opening 417 connects to the first rotating groove 416. The first opening 417 is used to avoid the rotating part 36, and the wall surface of the first opening 417 is used to limit the rotation of the rotating part 36. The linkage groove 413 passes through the other end of the linkage member 41. The side wall of the end of the linkage groove 413 away from the linkage member 41 is inclined so that the linkage part 423 moves along the side wall of the end of the linkage groove 413 away from the linkage member 41, thereby driving the ejector part 422 to rotate.

[0049] The rotating part 36 is provided with a pushing groove 361, and a pushing part 418 extends from the side wall of the first rotating groove 416. The pushing part 418 is inserted into the pushing groove 361. When the electronic card 200 is inserted, the rotating part 36 rotates, and one side wall of the first rotating groove 416 pushes the linkage 41 to move. When the latch 3 is in the locked position, the rotating part 36 abuts against the side wall of the first rotating groove 416 opposite to the pushing groove 361 to limit the position of the rotating part 36. When the electronic card 200 is removed, the rotating part 36 rotates, and the other side wall of the first rotating groove 416 pushes the linkage 41 to move. When the latch 3 is in the unlocked position, the rotating part 36 abuts against the wall of the first opening 417 to limit the position of the rotating part 36.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The connector 100 also includes a housing 5. The insulating body 1 is provided with a second opening 17, which communicates with the mounting groove 15. The housing 5 covers the insulating body 1 and is disposed in both the second opening 17 and the mounting groove 15, so that the housing 5 covers a portion of the linkage 41. The housing 5 is provided with a socket 51, which communicates with the slot 11 and is used for the electronic card 200 to pass through.

[0051] In this embodiment of the utility model, the connector 100 includes an insulating body 1, a terminal assembly 2, a latch 2, and an unlocking assembly 4. The insulating body 1 is provided with a slot 11 for inserting an electronic card 200. The terminal assembly 2 is disposed on the insulating body 1, with one end of the terminal assembly 2 extending into the slot 11 and used to hold the electronic card 200. The latch 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the insulating body 1 and is used to lock or unlock the electronic card 200. The unlocking assembly 4 includes a linkage 41 and a push-out member 42. The linkage 41 is disposed on the insulating body 1, with both ends of the linkage 41 connected to the latch 3 and the push-out member 42, respectively. The push-out member 42 is disposed at the other end of the insulating body 1 and is used to push the electronic card 200 when it is pulled out. When the electronic card 200 is inserted, the electronic card 200 pushes the locking buckle 3 and the ejector 42 to rotate. The locking buckle 3 drives the linkage 41 to move until the electronic card 200 is inserted into place. The locking buckle 3 then locks the electronic card 200. When the electronic card 200 is removed, the electronic card 200 pushes the locking buckle 3 to rotate, which drives the linkage 41 to move, thereby driving the ejector 42 to rotate until the locking buckle 3 releases the electronic card 200. The user does not need to manually move the locking buckle 3, making it convenient to insert and remove the electronic card 200.
