Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card box technology for card slot assembly, and more particularly to card boxes with high adaptability. Background Technology
[0002] Existing memory card holders mostly use a fixed card slot design, which makes them unsuitable for accommodating mixed memory cards of different sizes. While some existing card holders offer multiple slots, the fixed slot design prevents the replacement of different slots, resulting in low slot space utilization. Furthermore, replacing slots in traditional holders requires complete disassembly, leading to high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly adaptable card box. Through movable assembly, the modular card slots are no longer fixed, thus enabling the mixed installation of modular card slots of different sizes and improving the space utilization of the card box.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution.
[0005] A highly adaptable card holder includes a bracket, wherein at least one side of the bracket forms a mounting surface, and at least one or more modular card slots are movably mounted on the mounting surface along a first direction and / or a second direction, and an end cap is provided at the end of the mounting surface to restrict the movement of the modular card slots;
[0006] The modular card slot forms at least one sub-card slot, and the sub-card slot forms a card or card dispenser assembly trajectory along a first direction or a second direction.
[0007] Furthermore, an assembly space is formed on the assembly surface, and one or more modular slots are assembled.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes at least one adjustment slot located within the assembly space, the adjustment slot moving along the assembly space to divide the assembly space into several modular slot assembly layouts.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment groove moves along the first direction and / or the second direction to adjust the assembly layout of the assembly space in the first direction and / or the second direction.
[0010] Furthermore, when more than one modular card slot is assembled, at least two adjacent modular card slots are joined to form a sub-card slot.
[0011] Furthermore, the modular card slot forms a sub-card slot, or is divided to form at least two sub-card slots.
[0012] Furthermore, when the modular card slot is divided to form at least two sub-card slots, the sub-card slots form assembly slots for one or more cards or card dispensers.
[0013] Furthermore, the sub-card slot forms an assembly slot for storing at least one of a memory card, a SIM card, or a SIM card ejector tool.
[0014] Furthermore, one of the end caps and the bracket is provided with a snap-fit part, and the other is provided with a snap-fit groove part.
[0015] Furthermore, an elastic body is provided between the end cap and the modular slot.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] In this invention, the modular card slots can be removed at any time and replaced by other modular card slots by utilizing the movable assembly. This achieves the movable assembly, making full use of the card box's effect. Compared with fixed assembly, it allows for the use of the space inside the card box to match various types of modular card slots and perform multiple modular card slot combinations.
[0018] In this invention, since the modular card slot can contain sub-card slots, it can be combined to form multiple sub-card slots for mixed loading of various cards or card dispensers, so that the card box can be matched with the modular card slot according to the needs, thereby improving space utilization.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] In this embodiment, the assembly principle of the entire card box is described in detail below:
[0031] See attached document Figure 1-7 As shown, the highly adaptable card box in this embodiment includes a bracket 100, and the bracket 100 has an assembly surface 110 formed on at least one side. Of course, the assembly surface can also be formed on multiple surfaces of the bracket 100, such as two, three, or four surfaces. Then, by attaching a sleeve 500 over the bracket 100, a closed cavity is formed to form a closed card box.
[0032] In this embodiment, at least one or more modular slots 200 are movably assembled on the assembly surface 110 along the first direction and / or the second direction. For example, the first direction is the X-axis direction and the second direction is the Y-axis direction. During assembly, the modular slots 200 can be movably assembled along the X-axis, or the Y-axis, or both the X-axis and the Y-axis, so that they can be moved to any position on the assembly surface. Of course, the number of modular slots 200 can be one, two, three, or even more. In this case, by movably assembling different numbers and types of modular slots, they can be replaced on the bracket.
[0033] In this embodiment, the movable assembly specifically refers to the modular card slot 200 being assembled with the mounting surface of the bracket 100, for example, by means of, but not limited to, sliding assembly, snap-fit assembly, magnetic assembly, or a combination of the above assembly methods. Compared with the fixed assembly, this movable assembly realizes the need to assemble or install modular card slots of different specifications according to different customer or scenario requirements.
[0034] In this embodiment, the modular card slot 200 is not limited to forming a single card slot. Specifically, at least one sub-card slot 210 is formed on the modular card slot 200. Of course, it can also be extended to two sub-card slots 210, three sub-card slots 210, or more sub-card slots 210. Then, each sub-card slot 210 forms a card or card dispenser assembly trajectory along a first direction (i.e., the X-axis) or a second direction (i.e., the Y-axis). At this time, the card or card dispenser is assembled in the sub-card slot along the assembly trajectory to complete the storage.
[0035] In this embodiment, the card box, due to its movable assembly, allows for a high degree of adaptability among various modular card slots 200, avoiding the problem of being limited to only one type of card slot assembly method. At the same time, the combination of multiple modular card slots 200 enables applications in different scenarios.
[0036] Of course, in order to prevent the modular slot 200 from slipping off during the assembly, an end cap 300 is provided at the end of the assembly surface 110. The end cap forms a limiting part, so that the modular slot 200 can only move within the range limited by the end cap and will not leave the entire assembly surface 110. It can be replaced unless the end cap is removed to replace the modular slot, which ensures safety during use and improves the user experience.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] This embodiment mainly focuses on the assembly and adjustment of the modular card slot 200.
[0039] In this embodiment, different modular slots 200 can be replaced. During replacement, the modular slots 200 meet the requirement of equivalent replacement, that is, an assembly space is formed on the assembly surface, and one or more of the modular slots 200 are assembled to fill the assembly space. Specifically, the assembly space is filled before and after replacement, as shown in the following situations:
[0040] First, in this embodiment, the large modular slot 200 can be assembled and replaced by several different types of smaller modular slots 200; for example, a large modular slot can fill the entire assembly space, and when it is replaced later, it is an assembly of several smaller modular slots.
[0041] Second, the replacement method in this embodiment is not limited to one type of assembly, but can be multiple. In the whole replacement, there is a certain replacement relationship, that is, there is a certain proportional correspondence between different card slots, such as XA+YB=ZC (ABC is the assembly area formed by different types of modular card slots, and XYZ is the number of corresponding modular card slots); the card slot is fixed on the bracket by, but not limited to, buckle, magnetic attraction, and sliding.
[0042] In this embodiment, the modular card slot forms a separate modular structure card slot, which can be replaced.
[0043] Third, due to the assembly process, various modular card slots can be matched and interchanged, thus improving their adaptability and meeting the mixed-assembly needs of different sizes and scenarios, thereby increasing space utilization. For example, if a modular card slot 200 assembled in the card box only has one larger sub-slot 210, but the user needs three smaller memory cards, then the smaller modular card slots can be combined and replaced with the larger modular card slot, allowing the entire assembly space to be filled with cards or a card ejector.
[0044] In this embodiment, to achieve the division of the assembly space, at least one adjustment groove 400 located within the assembly space is included. The adjustment groove moves along the assembly space, dividing the assembly space into several modular slots 200 assembly layouts. Specifically, the adjustment groove 400 can be formed by creating a sliding groove, setting a snap-fit, or using magnetic attraction, and then assembled with the modular slots 200. For example, the sliding groove, snap-fit, or magnetic attraction can be set in multiple positions, and different modular slots can be assembled or assembled through assembly at different positions.
[0045] In this embodiment, the adjustment groove can also be formed by protrusions or depressions on the assembly surface.
[0046] In practical use, the adjustment groove 400 can be positioned, for example, by moving along a first direction and / or a second direction, to adjust the assembly layout of the assembly space in the first direction and / or the second direction. For example, it can move along the X-axis to divide the assembly space into spaces of different sizes in the X-axis direction, or it can move the magnetic attraction structure along the Y-axis to form different divided spaces in the Y-axis direction.
[0047] Example 3
[0048] In this embodiment, based on embodiments 1 and 2, the assembly setup of the sub-slot 210 and the detailed layout of the modular slot are specifically described.
[0049] Firstly, in this embodiment, in addition to the modular card slot 200 itself forming a sub-card slot 210, a sub-card slot 210 can also be formed by splicing multiple modular card slots. For example, when there are two or more modular card slots 200 in the assembly space, a sub-card slot 210 is formed at the splicing point between two modular card slots 200, or between three modular card slots 200, or between multiple modular card slots 200. This sub-card slot 210 requires splicing of two or more modular card slots 200 to be realized; otherwise, a complete sub-card slot cannot be formed. This setting method makes the formation of the sub-card slot 210 more possible, and the entire space is also greatly utilized.
[0050] In this embodiment, each modular card slot 200 is either formed as a sub-card slot or divided into multiple sub-card slots, such as two, three or more sub-card slots, so that the modular card slots of different sizes can be laid out as reasonably as possible to make full use of the space.
[0051] In this embodiment, when the sub-card slots 210 in the modular card slot 200 are set, their openings can be set facing each other or oppositely, or in the same direction, or vertically, thereby forming card or card dispenser storage in multiple directions.
[0052] In this embodiment, when the modular card slot 200 has multiple sub-card slots 210, the sub-card slots 210 can be of the same type or different types. For example, they can form card slots of the same type or different types, that is, they ultimately form an assembly card slot for one or more types of cards or card dispensers. This arrangement greatly satisfies different layout design requirements.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sub-card slot forms an assembly slot for storing at least one of a memory card, a SIM card, or a card ejector. In this embodiment, the sub-card slot 210 is used for storing a memory card, a SIM card, or a card ejector. The card ejector can be a card ejector pin. The memory card sub-card slot can be compatible with mainstream memory card specifications such as TF / SD / CFA / CFB.
[0054] In this embodiment, an end cap is provided to prevent the modular slot from falling off. To improve the assembly's firmness, the bracket and the end cap are snapped together or magnetically attracted. For example, one of the end cap and the bracket may have a snap-fit part, and the other may have a slot part.
[0055] To facilitate assembly, guide grooves can be provided on the bracket or end cap, so that the subsequent end cap can be guided and assembled onto the entire bracket along the guide groove.
[0056] To reduce friction caused by rigid assembly and to facilitate assembly when there are small errors in the end cap and modular slot, an elastic body is provided between the end cap and the modular slot. By compressing the elastic body, assembly is achieved even when the slot is large. The elastic body is typically made of rubber to form a buffer surface and reduce friction. Of course, since the overall structure of the card box is relatively small and thin, the elastic body and the front guide groove allow it to slide before engaging, improving safety.
[0057] See attached document Figure 1 As shown, the card holders listed have seven modular card slots 200 on one side, arranged in four rows. The first row contains a larger SD card slot and two TF card slots arranged opposite to it. The second row contains a smaller SD card slot and two TF card slots arranged opposite to it. The third row contains two CFE-A memory card slots with opposite openings. The fourth row contains a small sub-slot. Combined with a card ejector, this configuration allows for the storage of multiple types of cards. The space occupied by the larger SD card slot equals the space occupied by the two CFE-A memory card slots, which in turn equals the space occupied by the smaller SD card slot plus the space occupied by the two TF card slots arranged opposite to it. Of course, an additional mounting surface can be formed on the reverse side of the bracket 100 for further assembly of the modular card slots.
[0058] In this embodiment, by making full use of the space on the bracket, the storage space for different specifications of memory cards, SIM cards or card ejector pins can be converted by moving the position of the partition parts to achieve a modular card slot effect.
[0059] In this embodiment, a single modular card slot 200 can be divided into one or more sub-card slots 210. The sub-card slot 210 is the smallest dividing unit and / or the sub-card slot can be further divided into secondary sub-card slots and / or a part of a secondary sub-card slot. This part of a secondary sub-card slot can be combined with a part of another card slot or a part of a sub-card slot of another card slot to form a space for storing a memory card, SIM card or SIM card ejector tool, thus achieving the effect of further division.
[0060] See attached document Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the card holder may also have two modular card slots 200 on the mounting surface 110. One modular card slot 200 contains two sub-slots for CF card storage arranged side-by-side. The other modular card slot 200 is relatively smaller and is specifically designed to house sub-slots for TF card storage. In this embodiment, the CF card is relatively large, meaning that the space occupied by one CF card sub-slot is equivalent to the space occupied by three SD card sub-slots.
[0061] See attached document Figure 5As shown, for the same area, the assembly surface 110 can also be provided with four rows of seven sub-card slots. The first row is a single modular card slot for CFB CARD storage. The second row contains a modular card slot 200 with three sub-card slots, such as a single SD CARD sub-card slot, two side-by-side TFCARD sub-card slots arranged vertically above the SD CARD sub-card slot, and two TF CARD sub-card slots can be set on one modular card slot. The third row has two sub-card slots arranged in opposite directions for CFA CARD storage, and the modular card slot 200 has two sub-card slots. The fourth row is a modular card slot with a SIM storage card slot.
[0062] See attached document Figure 6 As shown, there are four rows at this point. The first three rows are identical, each containing a sub-slot for an SD card, which matches two side-by-side sub-slots for TF cards on the other side. Each of the first three rows has a modular card slot 200, which in turn has three sub-slots 210. The fourth row contains two sub-slots for TF cards, which together form a modular card slot.
[0063] See attached document Figure 7 As shown, it also has four rows. The first three rows are the same, all of which are modular card slots for CFB CARD storage. Then the fourth row has two modular card slots for TF CARD storage, and each modular card slot has two sub-slots.
