Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a connector with a guide rail slider. Background Technology
[0002] Memory cards, smart cards, and other similar cards used in electronic devices are highly compatible with various electronic devices, enabling data exchange between them. These cards are mounted on card connectors in electronic devices, and the data on the cards is read and exchanged between electronic devices through the card slot connector.
[0003] Existing card slot connectors mostly fall into two categories. One type lacks an assembled slider and automatic card ejection. This design, to allow card removal, prevents the entire card from being housed within the casing of electronic products like mobile phones and computers. After insertion, a certain length of the card must protrude from the casing for easy removal by hand, impacting the product's appearance, size, and applicability. The other type features a self-ejecting card slot guide rail integrated into the plastic body. This design requires sufficient space within the plastic body, resulting in a larger connector size and limiting its applicability. Furthermore, the control lever in this design is prone to detaching from the mounting hole during assembly and use, affecting functionality. Therefore, we propose a connector with a guide rail slider. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a connector with a guide rail slider.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a connector with a guide rail slider, including a plastic body. A fixing hole is opened on one side surface of the plastic body. A control rod is installed inside the fixing hole. The end of the control rod away from the fixing hole is slidably connected to the inside of the slider. The slider is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove, and the guide groove is opened on the surface of the plastic body.
[0006] A first plane is formed on the surface of the slider facing the fixing hole. A second plane is formed inside the slider away from the fixing hole. A third plane is formed on the side of the second plane away from the first plane. A fourth plane is formed on the side of the third plane. A fifth plane is formed on the side of the fourth plane away from the third plane. A sixth plane is formed on the side of the fifth plane away from the fourth plane. A seventh plane is formed on the side of the sixth plane away from the fifth plane. An eighth plane is formed on the side of the seventh plane facing the first plane.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the card is inserted into the plastic body, the side wall of the card pushes the slider to move until the card is fully inserted into the plastic body without the card surface being exposed. The chip of the card contacts the hardware terminal to complete the information reading and storage and perform the storage and writing operation. During the process of being pushed, the slider moves along the inside of the slide groove. At the same time, one end of the control rod is in the fixing hole, and the other end slides on the surface of the slider and moves back and forth in one direction, so as to cooperate with the spring to realize the action of automatically popping out the card.
[0008] In the planes opened on the surface of the slider, the second plane is higher than the first plane, the third plane is higher than the fourth plane, the fifth plane is higher than the sixth plane, the seventh plane is higher than the eighth plane, and the ninth plane is located in the middle, separating the center connection, so that the remaining planes form a unidirectional and circulating slide. The height difference of the planes inside the slider forms a stepped track, so that the moving end of the control lever slides unidirectionally along multiple tracks with height differences on the slider surface. The card ejection action is completed and automatically reset by spring reset. The slider with guide track is used in self-spring card socket connector, so that it can achieve self-spring card ejection, while making the size smaller, the quality more stable, and the application range wider.
[0009] Specifically, the surface of the plastic body is fitted with metal terminals.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the card's chip is contacted through metal terminals to read the stored information.
[0011] Specifically, the top of the plastic body is fitted with an iron shell via a snap-fit structure.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the iron shell is installed on the surface of the plastic body to protect the internal structure and improve the aesthetics of the equipment.
[0013] Specifically, the fixing hole has a slot for engaging the control rod, and one end of the control rod has a locking block that engages with the slot.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the control rod is engaged with the locking block at one end of the control rod by the locking groove in the fixing hole, so that the control rod can rotate around the fixing hole as the slider slides.
[0015] Specifically, the guide groove has a limiting groove for assembling a spring on one side of the slider.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a spring is assembled in the card slot and limited thereto, so that the slider can automatically reset and eject the card during the insertion and removal of the card.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] When the card is inserted into the plastic body, the side wall of the card pushes the slider to move until the card is fully inserted into the plastic body without the card surface being exposed. The chip of the card contacts the hardware terminal to complete the information reading and storage and perform storage and writing operations. During the process of being pushed, the slider moves along the inside of the slide groove. At the same time, one end of the control rod is in the fixing hole, and the other end slides on the surface of the slider and moves in one direction reciprocating, so as to cooperate with the spring to realize the action of automatically popping out the card.
[0019] In the planes opened on the surface of the slider, the second plane is higher than the first plane, the third plane is higher than the fourth plane, the fifth plane is higher than the sixth plane, the seventh plane is higher than the eighth plane, and the ninth plane is located in the middle, separating the center connection, so that the remaining planes form a unidirectional and circulating slide. The height difference of the planes inside the slider forms a stepped track, so that the moving end of the control lever slides unidirectionally along multiple tracks with height differences on the slider surface. The card ejection action is completed and automatically reset by spring reset. The slider with guide track is used in self-spring card socket connector, so that it can achieve self-spring card ejection, while making the size smaller, the quality more stable, and the application range wider.

[0028] When in use, when the card is inserted into the plastic body 1, the side wall of the card pushes the slider 6 to move until the card is fully inserted into the plastic body 1 without the card surface being exposed. The chip of the card contacts the hardware terminal 2 to complete the information reading and storage and perform the storage and writing operation. During the process of being pushed, the slider 6 moves along the inside of the slide groove. At the same time, one end of the control rod 4 is in the fixing hole 3, and the other end slides on the surface of the slider 6 and moves back and forth in one direction, so as to cooperate with the spring 7 to realize the action of automatically popping out the card.
[0029] In the planes opened on the surface of slider 6, the second plane 10 is higher than the first plane 9, the third plane 11 is higher than the fourth plane 12, the fifth plane 13 is higher than the sixth plane 14, the seventh plane 15 is higher than the eighth plane 16, and the ninth plane 17 is located in the middle, separating the center connection, so that the remaining planes form a unidirectional and circulating slide.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the card is inserted into the plastic body 1, the side wall of the card pushes the slider 6 to move until the card is fully inserted into the plastic body 1 without protruding from the card surface. The chip of the card contacts the hardware terminal 2 to complete the information reading and storage operation. During the process of being pushed, the slider 6 moves along the inside of the groove. At the same time, one end of the control rod 4 is in the fixing hole 3, and the other end slides on the surface of the slider 6 in a unidirectional reciprocating motion, so as to cooperate with the spring 7 to realize the action of automatically ejecting the card. Among the planes opened on the surface of the slider 6, the second plane 10 is higher than the first plane 9, the third plane 11 is higher than the fourth plane 12, and the fifth plane 13 is higher than the fourth plane 12. Plane 13 is higher than the sixth plane 14, the seventh plane 15 is higher than the eighth plane 16, and the ninth plane 17 is located in the middle, separating the center connection, so that the remaining planes form a unidirectional and circulating slide. The height difference of the plane inside the slider 6 forms a stepped track, so that the moving end of the control lever 4 slides unidirectionally along multiple tracks with height differences on the surface of the slider 6. The card ejection action is completed and automatically reset by the spring 7. The slider 6 with the guide track is used in the self-spring card socket connector, so that it can achieve self-spring card ejection, while making the size smaller, the quality more stable, and the application range wider.
