Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of card holders, and in particular to a flip-top card holder with a detection function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, booth seating is widely used in our daily lives. Researchers have found that existing traditional booth seating has some technical drawbacks.

[0003] In traditional card slots, the card tray is usually a simple fixed frame structure with a limited connection method to the card cover, mostly through simple plug-in or hinge connections. Plug-in connections are prone to loosening after frequent use, leading to poor card contact; while hinge connections are relatively stable, they limit the card cover's operation, allowing only simple opening and closing movements, which is unsuitable for scenarios requiring quick card replacement or specific card handling space requirements. Traditional card covers are either fixed and immovable, requiring additional tools for installing and removing cards, making operation cumbersome; or they are simple flip-top designs, limiting operation to a single function. The traditional card holder lacks flexibility in its opening and closing mechanism. Furthermore, the way it secures the card when closed is often too simple, failing to effectively prevent displacement and shaking during use, which could affect signal transmission. In terms of card installation detection, traditional card holders either lack effective detection methods, forcing users to rely on the device's functionality to indirectly determine correct installation, which can lead to misjudgments in some cases; or their detection methods are too simplistic, only detecting whether the card is inserted, without assessing details such as installation angle or contact quality, thus failing to meet the high-precision card installation detection requirements of modern electronic devices.

[0004] Current technological shortcomings:

[0005] 1. The connection method between the card tray and the card cover is simple and cannot meet the needs of quick card replacement;

[0006] 2. The card cover has a simple movement method, lacks flexibility, and cannot prevent card displacement and shaking, which affects signal transmission;

[0007] 3. The detection method for the card slot is relatively simple and cannot meet the requirements of high precision and multiple parameters;

[0008] Therefore, traditional card slots on the market are not suitable for technical scenarios requiring multi-scene, high-precision transmission, and high-precision multi-parameter detection.

[0009] We need to design a card holder suitable for various technical scenarios, including high-precision transmission and high-precision multi-parameter detection. Utility Model Content

This circuit simplifies control logic, reduces components, lowers space requirements, improves product stability and reliability, and reduces costs while meeting excellent EMC performance requirements.

[0011] The above-mentioned utility model objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0012] A flip-top card holder with detection function, characterized in that it includes a card tray, a card cover, and a detection component;

[0013] The card tray is used to hold cards; the bottom of the card tray has a first latching slot and a second latching slot, which are arranged parallel to each other; the card cover is used to cooperate with the card tray to install and fix the cards; a rotating structure is provided between the card cover and the card tray, and the cover body is connected to the card tray through the rotating structure, which can be flipped up to facilitate the insertion and removal of cards; the rotating structure is installed in the first latching slot and can be slidably latched in the second latching slot, and the card cover can slide on a plane parallel to the card tray through the rotating structure; the detection component includes a detection terminal and a detection circuit board set on the card tray, and the detection component is used to detect whether the card is correctly installed on the card tray; the detection terminal and the detection circuit board are electrically connected.

[0014] The card tray has a bearing surface for holding the card, and the bearing surface is provided with at least one spring metal piece. The spring metal piece adopts an arc-shaped spring metal piece structure. The spring metal piece can press against the metal contacts on the card to realize signal transmission. Then, the spring metal piece can transmit the signal to the detection terminal through the detection circuit board.

[0015] The card tray has a bearing surface for holding cards, and the bearing surface has at least one bearing groove for placing cards. The shape of the bearing groove is adapted to the shape of the card. A set of baffles is provided at the edge of the bearing groove. The baffles can cooperate with the spring metal sheet to embed the card in the card tray.

[0016] Furthermore, the test circuit board has the following pins: power supply pin, reset signal pin, clock signal pin, ground pin, programming voltage pin, and I / O pin, which are electrically connected to the spring metal plate.

The detection component includes detection terminals and a detection circuit module on the card tray, which can directly detect whether the card is correctly installed on the card tray. Furthermore, the detection terminals are electrically connected to the detection circuit module, enabling real-time monitoring and feedback of the card installation status.

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] An embodiment of a flip-top card holder with detection function

[0031] A flip-top card holder with detection function, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: card tray 1, card cover 2, and detection component 3;

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the card tray 1 is used to hold cards; the bottom of the card tray 1 is provided with a first latching groove 101 and a second latching groove 102, which are arranged parallel to each other; the card cover 2 is used to cooperate with the card tray 1 to install and fix the cards; a rotating structure 4 is provided between the card cover 2 and the card tray 1, and the cover body is connected to the card tray 1 through the rotating structure 4, which can be flipped up to facilitate the insertion and removal of cards; the rotating structure 4 is installed in the first latching groove 101 and can be slidably latched in the second latching groove 102, and the card cover 2 can slide on a plane parallel to the card tray 1 through the rotating structure 4; the detection component 3 includes a detection terminal 301 and a detection circuit board 302 provided on the card tray 1, which are used to detect whether the card is correctly installed on the card tray 1; the detection terminal 301 and the detection circuit board 302 are electrically connected.

[0033] The bottom of the card tray 1 has a first latching groove 101 and a second latching groove 102 arranged parallel to each other, providing a track for the rotating structure 4. The card cover 2 is connected to the card tray 1 through the rotating structure 4, which can slide within the two latching grooves. The mechanical sliding enables the card cover 2 to slide on the parallel surface of the card tray 1 and to flip up, facilitating card insertion and removal. The flexible sliding and rotating structure 4 design reduces wear on the card holder and cards caused by frequent insertion and removal, extending the service life of the card holder and cards. Moreover, its protective design effectively ensures the stability of the internal environment of the card holder, improving the applicability of the equipment in complex environments.

[0034] Card tray 1 has a bearing surface 5 for carrying cards. The bearing surface 5 is provided with at least one spring metal piece 501. The spring metal piece 501 adopts an arc-shaped spring sheet structure. The spring metal piece 501 can press against the metal contacts on the card and realize signal transmission. Then, the spring metal piece 501 can transmit the signal to the detection terminal 301 through the detection circuit board 302.

[0035] The card tray 1 has an arc-shaped spring metal sheet 501 on its bearing surface 5. Utilizing the conductivity of metal and the elastic deformation principle of spring, when a card is placed on the card tray 1, the spring metal sheet 501 presses tightly against the metal contacts on the card due to its elasticity, forming an electrical connection path to achieve signal transmission. The signal is then transmitted to the detection terminal 301 via the detection circuit board 302. The design of the arc-shaped spring metal sheet 501 increases the contact area and contact pressure with the metal contacts on the card. Compared with ordinary flat metal sheets, it can effectively reduce contact resistance, improve the stability and reliability of signal transmission, and reduce signal interference and transmission errors.

[0036] Card holder 1 has a bearing surface 5 for holding cards. The bearing surface 5 is provided with at least one bearing groove 502 for placing cards. The shape of the bearing groove 502 is adapted to the shape of the card. A set of baffles 6 are provided on the edge of the bearing groove 502. The baffles 6 can cooperate with the spring metal sheet 501 to embed the card in the card holder 1, which enhances the card holder's ability to fix the card and improves the working stability of the device in dynamic environments such as vibration and movement. Compared with card holders without bearing grooves 502 and baffles 6, the occurrence rate of signal transmission failure caused by card loosening is greatly reduced.

[0037] The detection circuit board 302 has the following pins: power supply pin, reset signal pin, clock signal pin, ground pin, programming voltage pin, and I / O pin. The pins are electrically connected to the spring metal sheet 501.

[0038] The power supply pin provides power to the detection circuit board 302, maintaining normal circuit operation based on the power supply principle; the reset signal pin performs a reset operation on the circuit based on the signal triggering principle when the system is abnormal; the clock signal pin provides a precise clock signal based on the clock synchronization principle to ensure data transmission synchronization; the grounding pin conducts static electricity to the ground through the charge transfer principle to protect the circuit; the programming voltage pin realizes the programming of the card chip based on the voltage control principle; the I / O pin realizes data input and output based on the data transmission principle; the pin is electrically connected to the spring metal sheet 501 to realize the detection of card status and data interaction.

[0039] With rich and synergistic pin functions, the card slot enhances its intelligence and applicability. Compared to traditional card slots with simple detection functions, it can better adapt to the complex and ever-changing application needs of electronic devices, providing strong support for the stable operation and functional expansion of the equipment.

[0040] Cardholder 1 is made of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) material.

[0041] Furthermore, the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) material used in Card Tray 1 is model S475, and its flame retardant standard is UL94V-0, which gives Card Tray 1 a good flame retardant effect, avoids signal transmission instability caused by high temperature, and ensures that the card can work stably for a long time in complex environments.

[0042] The cover 2 is made of austenitic stainless steel SUS201.

[0043] Furthermore, the thickness of the card cover 2 is 0.2mm. While ensuring the thickness of the card cover 2, the use of stainless steel SUS201 material gives the card cover 2 certain corrosion resistance, strength and good formability. Compared with high-priced stainless steel, it is economical and affordable.

[0044] The detection terminal 301 and the spring metal sheet 501 are made of copper alloy C5210.

[0045] Furthermore, the copper alloy C5210 material is processed using a work-hardening process to achieve the EH state. By using copper alloy C5210-EH material, the detection terminal 301 and the spring metal sheet 501 have high strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and good corrosion resistance.

[0046] Furthermore, the thickness of the detection terminal 301 and the spring metal sheet 501 is calibrated to T = 0.15mm.

[0047] The pads between the pins and the spring metal sheet 501 are plated with gold using a brushing process. This process ensures excellent oxidation resistance, effectively preventing rust and oxidation, extending the lifespan of the pads, and guaranteeing the long-term stability of the electrical connection. Simultaneously, the pads exhibit good solderability, providing better contact for welding, making it easier for the solder to wet and spread on the pads, forming a strong weld connection, improving welding quality and reliability, and reducing welding defects such as cold solder joints and solder detachment.

[0048] The detection terminal 301 and the spring metal sheet 501 are all nickel-plated. The nickel plating process can improve the corrosion resistance of the detection terminal 301 and the spring metal sheet 501, prevent the metal substrate from being corroded, and extend the service life.

[0049] In this embodiment, the card installation and fixing operation is as follows:

[0050] First step, such as Figure 3 As shown, first place the card on the card tray 1 and then close the card cover 2 tightly;

[0051] The second step, as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating structure 4 is slid from the first latching groove 101 to the second latching groove 102, and is latched forward into the second latching groove 102 from the position of the latching in the first latching groove 101.

[0052] The third step, as Figure 5 As shown, the rotating structure 4 completes the snapping within the second snapping groove 102.

[0053] In this invention, the card tray structure design makes the operation of the card cover more versatile, giving users more operational space and options when inserting and removing cards, thus improving operational efficiency. Simultaneously, due to the stable sliding of the rotating structure within the latching groove, the connection between the card cover and the card tray is tighter when closed, reducing card contact problems caused by loosening and improving the stability of signal transmission between the card holder and the card. The detection component includes detection terminals and a detection circuit module mounted on the card tray, capable of directly detecting whether the card is correctly installed on the card tray. Furthermore, the detection terminals are electrically connected to the detection circuit module, enabling real-time monitoring and feedback of the card installation status.
