Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of POS machines, and in particular to an integrated IC card socket protection structure and mold. Background Technology

[0002] In existing POS machine applications, the IC card socket is a crucial component, and its security and durability have always been key design considerations. However, in traditional IC card sockets, the IC card protective cover and the IC card protection circuit are two separate structures. During installation, the IC card protection circuit must be installed first, followed by the IC card protective cover. This separate structure not only increases installation steps and time, reducing production efficiency, but also, over long-term use, makes it easy for hackers to bypass the security circuit by punching holes to steal IC card and device data when customers swipe their cards, thus posing a significant security risk. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated IC card socket protection structure that is easy to process and assemble.

The IC card protective cover is connected to the IC card socket assembly, and a gap for inserting an IC card is provided between the IC card protective cover and the IC card socket assembly. The IC card protection circuit is located on the side of the IC card protective cover facing the IC card socket assembly. The IC card protection circuit and the IC card protective cover are integrally injection molded. The IC card protection circuit is used to connect to the external POS machine motherboard circuit.

[0005] Furthermore, the IC card socket assembly includes an IC card socket with zebra stripe perforations and gold finger perforations. It also includes a zebra stripe, one end of which is connected to the signal connection terminal of the IC card protection circuit, and the other end of which is used to connect to the external POS machine motherboard circuit.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a first steel clamp and a second steel clamp, which are respectively snapped onto both sides of the IC card protective cover and the IC card socket assembly. The first steel clamp and the second steel clamp are used for connecting the IC card protective cover and the IC card socket assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the gold finger perforation includes multiple individual septa, the number of which corresponds one-to-one with the number of gold fingers, and the opening size of the individual septa facing one end of the gap is smaller than that of the other end.

[0008] Furthermore, the IC card holder and IC card protective cover have an arc-shaped structure at the positions where the first steel sleeve and the second steel sleeve are installed.

[0009] This utility model also discloses an IC card protective cover production mold for producing the aforementioned IC card protective cover, including an upper mold and a lower mold. The lower mold is provided with a positioning stop, and the inner side of the positioning stop is provided with a positioning post corresponding to the through hole in the IC card protection circuit. The lower mold is provided with slider clearance grooves on both sides, and a side slider is provided in the clearance groove. When the upper mold and the lower mold are closed, the upper mold, the lower mold and the side slider together form the cavity of the IC card protective cover.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, embodiments of this application disclose an integrated IC card socket protection structure, including an IC card protective cover 1, an IC card protection line 2, and an IC card socket assembly. The IC card protective cover 1 is connected to the IC card socket assembly, and a gap for inserting an IC card is provided between the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card socket assembly. The IC card protection line 2 is disposed on the side of the IC card protective cover 1 facing the IC card socket assembly. The IC card protection line 2 and the IC card protective cover 1 are integrally injection molded. The IC card protection line 2 is used to connect to the external POS machine motherboard circuit.

[0022] In practical use, the IC card is inserted into the gap between the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card socket assembly. The IC card can then contact the signal connection terminal in the IC card socket assembly to read the IC card data.

[0023] The design of this structure, on the one hand, avoids the problems of multiple installation steps and long installation time in the traditional split structure by integrally injection molding the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card protection circuit 2, which greatly improves production efficiency. On the other hand, the integrated structure design makes the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card protection circuit 2 tightly connected, effectively preventing hackers from bypassing the security circuit by drilling to steal IC card and device data, and enhancing the security and durability of the IC card socket 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, the IC card socket assembly includes an IC card socket 3, which has zebra stripe perforations and gold finger perforations. It also includes a zebra stripe 4, one end of which is connected to the signal connection terminal of the IC card protection line 2, and the other end of which is used to connect to the external POS machine motherboard circuit. It also includes multiple gold fingers 5, one end of which is used to connect to the external POS machine motherboard circuit, and the other end of which passes through the gold finger perforation and extends into the gap.

[0025] Specifically, the Zebra Strip 4 ensures the stability of signal transmission between the IC card protection line 2 and the external POS machine motherboard circuitry, reducing signal interference and transmission errors. One end of the gold finger 5 is securely connected to the external POS machine motherboard circuitry, while the other end passes through the gold finger perforation hole and precisely inserts into the gap, allowing the gold finger 5 to reliably contact the inserted IC card, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of data transmission.

[0026] In this embodiment, a first steel sleeve 6 and a second steel sleeve 7 are also included. The first steel sleeve 6 and the second steel sleeve 7 are respectively snapped onto both sides of the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card socket assembly. The first steel sleeve 6 and the second steel sleeve 7 are used for connecting the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card socket assembly.

[0027] Specifically, the first steel clamp 6 and the second steel clamp 7 are made of high-strength steel, possessing excellent resistance to pressure and deformation. During installation, they can be tightly snapped into place on both sides of the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card socket assembly, forming a stable connection structure. This connection method not only enhances the stability of the overall structure but also, to a certain extent, prevents the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card socket assembly from separating due to external forces, thereby further protecting the security of the IC card and data.

[0028] In this embodiment, the gold finger perforation includes multiple individual septa, the number of individual septa corresponding one-to-one with the number of gold fingers 5, and the opening size of the individual septa facing one end of the gap is smaller than that of the other end.

[0029] Specifically, this design allows each gold finger 5 to independently pass through its corresponding septum and extend into the gap between the IC card protective cover 1 and the IC card socket assembly. The opening size of each septum facing one end of the gap is smaller than that at the other end. This structure better positions and secures the gold finger 5, preventing it from shifting or wobbling during insertion. This ensures more stable and reliable contact between the gold finger 5 and the IC card, further improving the accuracy of data transmission.

[0030] In this embodiment, the IC card holder 3 and the IC card protective cover 1 are arc-shaped at the positions where the first steel sleeve 6 and the second steel sleeve 7 are installed.

[0031] Specifically, this arc-shaped structure design can better match the shape of the first steel sleeve 6 and the second steel sleeve 7, thereby facilitating the installation of the first steel sleeve 6 and the second steel sleeve 7.

[0032] This utility model also discloses a production mold for an IC card protective cover 1, used to produce the aforementioned IC card protective cover 1, including an upper mold 8 and a lower mold 9. The lower mold 9 is provided with a positioning baffle 10, and the inner side of the positioning baffle 10 is provided with a positioning post 11 corresponding to the through hole in the IC card protection circuit 2. The lower mold 9 is provided with slider clearance grooves on both sides, and a side slider 12 is provided in the clearance groove. When the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 9 are closed, the upper mold 8, the lower mold 9 and the side slider 12 together form the cavity of the IC card protective cover 1. The upper mold 8 is provided with a material inlet, and the material inlet is connected to the cavity.

[0033] In the production process, the IC card protection circuit 2 is placed inside the lower mold 9 and positioned by the positioning stop 10 and the positioning post 11. Then, the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 9 are closed, and material is injected into the inlet through an external injection molding device. After the injection is completed, the side slider 12 is withdrawn one after the other, and then the upper mold 8 and the lower mold 9 are separated, thus forming an integrated IC card protection circuit 2 and IC card protection cover 1 structure. This production method not only improves production efficiency but also ensures product quality and consistency, meeting the high requirements of the POS machine field for the protection structure of the IC card socket 3.

[0034] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
