[0032] Existing memory cards have poor high-pressure resistance. Under high-pressure conditions, memory cards are easily damaged and cannot be used.

[0033] Based on the above problems, the present application proposes a memory card and a method for manufacturing the memory card, which can effectively solve the above problems by attaching a fixed metal sheet to the side of the storage body of the memory card that is away from the gold finger.

[0034] A memory card and a method for manufacturing the memory card provided in the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] This application provides a memory card. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a memory card of this application; Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of the memory card of Figure 1 taken along line Aa; Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of the memory card of Figure 1 taken along line Bb; and Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a metal sheet. In a specific embodiment, the memory card 100 of this application includes a storage body 10 and a metal sheet 30.

[0036] Among them, the memory card 100 provided in this application can be any reasonable type of memory card 100, such as an SD card (Secure Digital Memory Card), a CF card (Compact Flash Card), an SM card (Smart Media Card), etc., without specific limitation. In this embodiment, the memory card 100 is specifically an SD card, specifically an SD4.0 card, which has a higher storage capacity and bus speed. In some other embodiments, the memory card 100 can also be an SD1.0 card, SD2.0 card, SD3.0 card, etc.

[0037] The storage body 10 includes a substrate 101, gold fingers 102, a memory chip 103, and a first insulator 104. The gold fingers 102 are provided on one side of the substrate 101, and the memory chip 103 is provided on the other side of the substrate 101. The first insulator 104 is provided on the substrate 101 and covers the memory chip 103. The memory card 100 also includes a metal sheet 30, and the metal sheet 30 is fixed to at least one side of the storage body 10 facing away from the gold fingers 102. Specifically, the memory card 100 implements a storage function through the storage body 10. The memory chip 103 in the storage body 10 can be a NAND FLASH memory chip or other type of memory chip, without specific limitation. The gold fingers 102 are exposed on one side of the substrate 101. The gold fingers 102 are a plurality of metal contact plates. The memory card 100 can establish a connection with an external card reader or device through the gold fingers 102 and transmit data. Conventional memory cards 100 are protected by a single injection molding of a plastic encapsulating material onto the surface of the memory body 10 to form a protective shell. This protective shell has poor three-dimensional protection, particularly poor high-pressure resistance, and can easily damage the memory card 100. In this embodiment, a metal sheet 30 is fixed to the side of the memory body 10 facing away from the gold finger 102. The metal sheet 30 can be made of steel, copper, iron, or duralumin, without limitation. The metal sheet 30 is hard and resistant to high pressures. By attaching and securing the metal sheet 30 to one side of the memory body 10, the memory card 100 possesses high-pressure resistance. Furthermore, the memory card 100 provided with the metal sheet 30 is scratch-resistant. In some embodiments, a logo, promotional image, or other design can be silk-screened on the surface of the metal sheet 30. The silk-screened lines on the metal sheet 30 are durable and not susceptible to scratches that degrade the appearance. In a high-pressure resistance test, the memory card 100 of this application remained functional under a bending force of 180N and remained undamaged after 60 seconds of bending.

[0038] Different from the prior art, the present application proposes a memory card 100, in which the storage body 10 of the memory card 100 is provided with a metal sheet 30 on at least one side facing away from the gold finger 102. The metal sheet 30 is hard and resistant to high pressure. The memory card 100 with the metal sheet 30 fixed on one side has better three-proof effects. It is not only waterproof and dustproof, but also has improved high-pressure resistance, so that the memory card 100 can still be used normally without damage under high bending pressure. On the other hand, the metal sheet 30 is not easy to scratch, and the lines of the logo, promotional pictures, etc. printed on the surface of the metal sheet 30 can be maintained for a long time and are not easily scratched to affect the appearance.

[0039] Among them, the first insulator 104 is used to encapsulate and protect the storage chip 103, etc. The first insulator 104 is a plastic layer. In this embodiment, its main material is EMC (Epoxy Molding Compound, epoxy resin film plastic). In some other embodiments, the plastic material can also include one or more materials such as polyimide, bismaleimide triazine, etc.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the metal sheet 30 includes a main body 31 and a retaining portion 32. The retaining portion 32 is connected to the main body 31 on at least two opposing sides, and the main body 31 and retaining portion 32 are integrally connected. The memory card 100 also includes a second insulator 20. The second insulator 20 is fixed to the side wall of the memory body 10 and is arranged along the side wall of the memory body 10 and around the memory body 10. The second insulator 20 also covers the retaining portion 32 to secure the metal sheet 30 to the memory body 10. One side of the second insulator 20 bends and extends toward the center of the memory body 10 to form a fixing portion 22. The fixing portion 22 covers the retaining portion 32 to secure the metal sheet 30. Specifically, the second insulator 20 is also arranged on the side of the substrate 101 of the storage body 10 where the gold finger 102 is provided. The second insulator 20 extends along the side wall of the storage body 10 and covers the clamping portion 32 at the edge of the metal sheet 30 located on the other side of the storage body 10. The second insulator 20 covers the clamping portion 32 and is also combined with the clamping portion 32, so that the metal sheet 30 is displayed on the surface of the storage card 100 in an embedded manner, thereby improving the bonding strength of the metal sheet 30.

[0041] Among them, the second insulator 20 is a plastic layer, and its material can include one or more materials such as phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, unsaturated polyester resin, etc. Its main function is to fix the metal sheet 30 on the storage body 10. In addition, the second insulator 20 covers the storage body 10 and also has the effect of waterproof and dustproof, thereby improving the three-proof effect of the memory card 100 of this application.

[0042] In some embodiments, the storage body 10 further includes a control chip 50, which is connected to the storage chip 103. When the memory card 100 establishes a connection with an external card reader or device via the gold finger 102, the control chip 50 controls data transmission between the memory card 100 and the external device. Furthermore, the control chip 50 also performs operations such as storage, reading, and writing. The control chip 50 can be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. In other embodiments, the control chip 50 can also be a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor, an application-specific integrated circuit, or other chip capable of receiving and processing signals and generating corresponding control electrical signals, without specific limitation.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, before the metal sheet 30 is attached to one side of the storage body 10, a roughening treatment is performed on the side of the first insulator 104 of the storage body 10 to which the metal sheet 30 is attached. The purpose of the roughening treatment is to change the surface properties of the first insulator 104, such as the roughness and chemical affinity, thereby improving the interlayer bonding between the metal sheet 30 and the first insulator 104, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the two. After the roughening treatment, the metal sheet 30 can be positioned on the surface of the storage body 10 by gluing, applying adhesive tape, or double-sided tape, and then the metal sheet 30 and the storage body 10 can be tightly bonded together by forming the second insulator 20. The roughening treatment can be achieved by physical or chemical methods, such as blackening technology, micro-etching technology, browning technology, etc., without specific limitation.

[0044] It can be understood that the main body 31 of the metal sheet 30 has two sets of opposite side edges. In the present embodiment, both sets of side edges are integrally connected with a retaining portion 32. The retaining portion 32 connected on one set of opposite side edges and the main body 31 of the metal sheet 30 are both attached to one side of the storage body 10, and the thickness of the retaining portion 32 is not greater than the thickness of the main body 31. Specifically, the thickness of the retaining portion 32 can be equal to or less than the thickness of the main body 31. This structure forms a convex cross-sectional shape of a set of opposite retaining portions 32 of the metal sheet 30 and the main body 31. As shown in FIG2 , the second insulator 20 covers the retaining portions 32 on both sides of the main body 31 and is combined with the retaining portions 32, so that the metal sheet 30 is displayed on the surface of the storage card 100 in an embedded manner, so that the metal sheet 30 is firmly fixed. In this embodiment, the retaining portions 32 connected to the other set of opposite side edges extend perpendicularly to the main portion 31 along the sidewall of the storage body 10. The main portion 31 of the metal sheet 30 is attached to one side of the storage body 10. As shown in FIG3 , this structure forms a Z-shaped cross-section of the main portion 31 of the metal sheet 30 and the two portions connected to the retaining portions 32. Both the convex and Z-shaped cross-sections allow the second insulator 20 to cover the retaining portions 32 on both sides, thereby fixing the metal sheet 30 and achieving the purpose of embedded fixation of the metal sheet 30. In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the metal sheet 30 in two perpendicular directions are respectively convex and Z-shaped. In some other embodiments, the cross-sections of the metal sheet 30 in two perpendicular directions can also be both convex or Z-shaped, without specific limitation. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , the two sides of the metal sheet 30 can also be S-shaped, with the second insulator 20 covering both sides of the metal sheet 30. Without specific limitation.

[0045] In this embodiment, metal sheets 30 of different shapes can be obtained by obtaining metal plates and processing the metal plates through stamping, casting, calcination and other processing methods to obtain the metal sheets 30 with the above-mentioned cross-sections in convex, Z-shaped, S-shaped and other shapes.

[0046] To further improve the high-pressure resistance of the memory card 100, in some preferred embodiments, a reinforcement structure may be formed on the surface of the metal sheet 30 to increase the strength and rigidity of the metal sheet 30. The reinforcement structure may specifically be reinforcement ribs formed on the surface of the metal sheet 30.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the thickness of the main body 31 ranges from 0.1 mm to 1 mm. Specifically, the thickness of the main body 31 can be 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, etc., without specific limitation. A metal sheet 30 within this thickness range can improve the high-voltage resistance of the memory card 100 while preventing the memory card 100 from being too thick and affecting its usability.

[0048] In some preferred embodiments, the projected area of ​​the metal sheet 30 on the side of the memory card 100 where the metal sheet 30 is provided is at least 40% of the area of ​​that side. Specifically, the metal sheet 30 occupies at least 40% and at most 100% of the area of ​​that surface. For example, the metal sheet 30 may occupy 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, etc., without specific limitation. This size design ensures that the metal sheet 30 covers a sufficient area to ensure its high-pressure resistance.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the memory card 100 also includes a label card 40, which is attached to the side of the main body 31 facing away from the memory body 10. The label card 40 may include information such as the model and serial number of the memory card 100. In FIG1 , C denotes the area on the memory card 100 where the label card 40 is attached.

[0050] In this embodiment, a metal sheet 30 is fixed to the side of the memory card 100 facing away from the gold finger 102. In some preferred embodiments, the metal sheet 30 can also be provided on the side of the memory card 100 where the gold finger 102 is provided. The metal sheet 30 is not connected to the gold finger 102 and is exposed outside the gold finger 102. By attaching and fixing the metal sheet 30 to both sides of the memory body 10, the high-voltage resistance of the memory card 100 can be enhanced.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second insulator 20 also covers the side of the memory card 10 where the gold fingers 102 are located, and has openings formed therein to allow the gold fingers 102 to be visible. Specifically, the second insulator 20 semi-surrounds the side of the memory card 10 where the gold fingers 102 are located, the sidewalls, and the side where the metal sheet 30 is located. This semi-surrounding covering provides a more secure attachment to the memory card 10, thereby tightly connecting the metal sheet 30 to the memory card 10. Furthermore, the second insulator 20 enveloping the memory card 10 enhances the three-proofing properties of the memory card 100.

[0052] In this embodiment, a metal sheet 30 is attached and fixed to the surface of the storage body 10 to enhance its high-voltage resistance. However, the metal sheet 30 is easily corroded and damaged when exposed. In some preferred embodiments, an anti-corrosion coating can be applied to the surface of the metal sheet 30. Specifically, applying the anti-corrosion coating to the surface of the metal sheet 30 isolates the metal sheet 30 from the surrounding medium, preventing corrosion and maintaining its high-voltage resistance over time. Specifically, the anti-corrosion coating can be a polyethylene adhesive tape, a polyolefin coating, or the like.

[0053] Different from the prior art, the present application provides a memory card 100, in which a metal sheet 30 is provided on the side of the storage body 10 of the memory card 100 facing away from the gold finger 102. The metal sheet 30 is hard and resistant to high pressure. The memory card 100 with the metal sheet 30 fixed on one side has better three-proof effects. It is not only waterproof and dustproof, but also has improved high-pressure resistance, so that the memory card 100 can still be used normally without damage under high bending pressure. On the other hand, the metal sheet 30 is not easy to scratch, and the lines of the logo, promotional pictures, etc. printed on the surface of the metal sheet 30 can be maintained for a long time and are not easily scratched to affect the appearance.

[0054] Correspondingly, this application also proposes a method for manufacturing a memory card, which is used to manufacture the memory card described in the above embodiment. Please refer to Figures 5 to 7. Figure 5 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a memory card of this application; Figure 6 is a flow chart of an embodiment of S11 in Figure 5; and Figure 7 is a flow chart of an embodiment of S12 in Figure 5. In one specific embodiment, the manufacturing method specifically includes:

[0055] S11: Obtain a metal sheet.

[0056] The metal sheet can be a steel sheet, a copper sheet, an iron sheet, a hard aluminum sheet, etc., without being specifically limited. The metal sheet has the characteristics of high hardness and high pressure resistance.

[0057] In one embodiment, S11 may specifically include:

[0058] S111: Obtain a metal plate with a thickness ranging from 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

[0059] For example, metal plates of any reasonable thickness such as 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, etc. can be obtained.

[0060] S112: Processing the metal plate by at least one of stamping, casting, and calcining to obtain a metal sheet of a preset shape.

[0061] Stamping and calcining involve applying pressure to a metal sheet using a press, forging machine, mold, or other equipment to deform it and form it into a metal sheet of a specific shape. Casting involves melting a metal sheet, pouring it into a mold, and then cooling and solidifying it to produce a metal sheet of a specific shape. The processing method is not specifically limited.

[0062] After the metal plate is processed, the metal sheet includes a main body and a clamping portion, and the main body is connected to the clamping portion on at least two opposite sides.

[0063] In this embodiment, the metal sheet has two sets of opposite side edges, and the retaining portions connected to one set of opposite side edges are coplanar with the metal sheet, and the thickness of the retaining portions is not greater than the thickness of the main body. Specifically, the thickness of the retaining portions can be equal to or less than the thickness of the main body. This structure forms a convex cross-sectional shape between one set of opposite retaining portions and the main body of the metal sheet, wherein the retaining portions connected to the other set of opposite side edges have a portion extending perpendicular to the direction of the main body. This structure forms a convex cross-sectional shape between the main body of the metal sheet and the two portions connected to the retaining portions. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the metal sheet in the two perpendicular directions of the metal sheet are respectively convex and z-shaped. In some other embodiments, the cross-sectional shapes of the metal sheet in the two perpendicular directions of the metal sheet can also be both convex or both z-shaped, without specific limitation. In some other embodiments, the main body and the retaining portions on both sides can also form a cross-sectional shape such as an S-shape, without specific limitation.

[0064] S12: Obtain the storage body, and attach and fix the metal sheet to the side of the storage body facing away from the gold finger.

[0065] The obtained storage body includes: a substrate, a gold finger is provided on one side of the substrate, and a storage chip is provided on the other side of the substrate; and a first insulator is provided on the substrate and covers the storage chip.

[0066] In one embodiment, S12 may specifically include:

[0067] S121: performing roughening processing on one side of the storage body.

[0068] Specifically, a roughening treatment is performed on the first insulator on the side of the storage body facing away from the gold finger. The purpose of the roughening treatment is to change the surface properties of the first insulator, such as roughness and chemical affinity, so as to improve the interlayer bonding force between the metal sheet and the first insulator, thereby making the bonding strength between the two higher.

[0069] Furthermore, the roughening treatment method may specifically include mechanical roughening, chemical roughening, etc. Mechanical roughening can roughen the surface of the first insulator by sandblasting, tumbling, polishing with sandpaper, etc. Chemical roughening can rapidly roughen the surface of the first insulator by using chemical reagents. The specific roughening method is not specifically limited.
