Abstract

Disclosed is a card socket component, including a housing, a bearing plate, a cover, an elastic component and a card holder containing a tray and a baffle. The housing has a sliding groove and a through hole, a protrusion is disposed at an end of the sliding groove. The cover and the bearing plate define a receiving space directly facing the through hole. The elastic component is disposed in the receiving space and is configured to provide an opposite elastic force for the tray when the tray arrives at a bottom of the receiving space. A groove is provided on an end side surface of the baffle. When the baffle is at a first staying position, the protrusion is located outside the groove. When the baffle is at a second staying position, the protrusion is received in the groove. Also disclosed is an electronic device.

First claim

an elastic component, disposed in the receiving space; and
a card holder, comprising a tray and a baffle, wherein the tray is configured to carry an information card; the elastic component is configured to provide an opposite elastic force for the tray when the tray arrives at a bottom of the receiving space via the through hole; a groove is provided on an end side surface of the baffle, and the baffle is slidably connected to the tray; when the baffle is received in the sliding groove and is at a first staying position with respect to the tray, the protrusion is located outside the groove; and when the baffle is received in the sliding groove and is at a second staying position with respect to the tray, the protrusion is received in the groove;
wherein a direction of moving the baffle between the first staying position and the second staying position is a sliding direction; wherein the tray comprises a tray body and a first sliding plate fixedly connected to the tray body; the tray body is configured to carry the information card, and the first sliding plate is parallel to the sliding direction; wherein the baffle comprises a baffle body, a second sliding plate and a third sliding plate; the second sliding plate and the third sliding plate are fixedly connected to a same side of the baffle body, the second sliding plate is slidably connected to a side of the first sliding plate, and the third sliding plate is slidably connected to other side of the first sliding plate which is opposite to the side, such that the baffle is movable in the sliding direction with respect to the tray.

2. The card socket component according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first sliding plate is smaller than a thickness of the tray body so as to form a first avoidance area and a second avoidance area; the first avoidance area is set on a side of the first sliding plate, the second avoidance area is set on other side of the first sliding plate which is opposite to the side, the second sliding plate is received in the first avoidance area, and the third sliding plate is received in the second avoidance area.

3. The card socket component according to claim 1 , further comprising a pin, wherein the first sliding plate is provided with a strip-shaped hole, an extending direction of the strip-shaped hole is parallel to the sliding direction; the second sliding plate is provided with a first through hole; the pin comprises a first portion and a second portion fixedly connected to the first portion, the first portion is located in the first through hole to be fixed with respect to the second sliding plate, and the second portion is located in the strip-shaped hole to be slidably connected to the first sliding plate.

4. The card socket component according to claim 3 , wherein the tray further comprises an elastic stopping block, the elastic stopping block is elastically connected to the first sliding plate, and the elastic stopping block partially extends into the strip-shaped hole in a telescoping manner, so as to limit a position of the second portion.

5. The card socket component according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic stopping block comprises a stopping portion and an elastic portion; the first sliding plate is provided with a recessed movable groove, the elastic portion is received in the movable groove, the stopping portion is partially received in the movable groove and partially received in the strip-shaped hole, and the elastic portion is elastically connected between the stopping portion and a bottom wall of the movable groove.

6. The card socket component according to claim 3 , wherein the pin further comprises a positioning portion, and the positioning portion is connected to a side, away from the second portion, of the first portion; the second sliding plate is provided with a positioning groove communicated with the first through hole, and the positioning portion is received in the positioning groove.

7. The card socket component according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion comprises a fixed end connected to the sliding groove and a clamping end away from the fixed end, and a cross section area of the protrusion increases gradually in a direction from the clamping end to the fixed end.

8. The card socket component according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion comprises a fixed end, a connecting segment and a clamping end connected in sequence; the fixed end is fixedly connected to the sliding groove, a limiting protrusion is provided at a side surface of the connecting segment, a groove wall of the groove has a recess area, and the limiting protrusion is clamped into the recess area when the baffle is at the second staying position.

9. An electronic device, comprising a card socket component, wherein the card socket component comprises:
a housing with a sliding groove and a through hole, wherein an end of the sliding groove is provided with a protrusion, and the through hole is provided on a bottom wall of the sliding groove;
a bearing plate, fixed inside the housing;
a cover, mounted on the bearing plate and defining a receiving space with the bearing plate, wherein the receiving space directly faces the through hole;
an elastic component, disposed in the receiving space; and
a card holder, comprising a tray and a baffle, wherein the tray is configured to carry an information card; the elastic component is configured to provide an opposite elastic force for the tray when the tray arrives at a bottom of the receiving space via the through hole; a groove is provided on an end side surface of the baffle, and the baffle is slidably connected to the tray; when the baffle is received in the sliding groove and is at a first staying position with respect to the tray, the protrusion is located outside the groove; and when the baffle is received in the sliding groove and is at a second staying position with respect to the tray, the protrusion is received in the groove;
wherein a direction of moving the baffle between the first staying position and the second staying position is a sliding direction; wherein the tray comprises a tray body and a first sliding plate fixedly connected to the tray body; the tray body is configured to carry the information card, and the first sliding plate is parallel to the sliding direction; wherein the baffle comprises a baffle body, a second sliding plate and a third sliding plate; the second sliding plate and the third sliding plate are fixedly connected to a same side of the baffle body, the second sliding plate is slidably connected to a side of the first sliding plate, and the third sliding plate is slidably connected to other side of the first sliding plate which is opposite to the side, such that the baffle is movable in the sliding direction with respect to the tray.
