Described lid has the 1st leaf spring, and the base end part of the 1st leaf spring is fixed on this and covers, and the leading section of the 1st leaf spring is connected with this cam path in the mode of the cam path that can be driven in described heart type.
Card connector based on the invention of (1) has tabular housing and lid.Housing possesses the 1st recess, and described the 1st recess has the opening of the card that can plug essentially rectangular.The 1st recess of lid covering shell.And, have sliding part and compression helical spring based on the card connector of the invention of (1).
Sliding part is configured on the 1st recess and the parallel sidepiece of plug direction card, can advance and retreat on the direction parallel with the plug direction of card.Compression helical spring is maintained on the housing, utilizes the power of blocking the direction that is discharged to the sliding part application of force.
Jig has the 2nd recess of hypotenuse and general square shape.The side that hypotenuse is formed on card midway.The 2nd recess and hypotenuse adjacency.Sliding part has the cam path of snap-latch piece and heart type.Snap-latch piece from a lateral side of the 1st recess in the 1st recess outstanding and with the hypotenuse butt of card.The cam path of heart type is formed on the surface of sliding part.
And lid has the 1st leaf spring.The base end part of the 1st leaf spring is fixed on and covers.The leading section of the 1st leaf spring is connected with this cam path in the mode of the cam path that can be driven in heart type.
Here, housing has insulating properties.The housing of so-called insulating properties also can be the housing of being made by dielectric material.For example, forming synthetic resin can be obtained the housing of the insulating properties of desired shape.And also a plurality of contacts are put in establishing in the 1st recess of housing.What is called is also established, and for example is to make a plurality of contacts near the meaning of also aliging and becoming row and being arranged side by side.The contact has conductivity, carries out punch process or bending process by the metallic plate to conductivity, thereby can obtain the contact of the conductivity of desired shape.If consider the easiness, spring performance, conductivity of processing etc., then the material preference such as the copper alloy of contact, but be not limited to copper alloy.
Usually in card, taken in the IC chip in the plastic framework inside of insulating properties.This IC chip is connected with a plurality of metal formings of pasting on the framework surface.And then, and establishing a plurality of metal formings of putting become the splicing ear of card.Here, single contact and single metal paper tinsel terminal mechanical connection and being electrically connected one to one.
The cantilever type contact of spring function as cantilever beam preferably used in the contact.The contact also can be made of elastic arm and fixed arm.Elastic arm is outstanding from the bottom surface of the 1st recess, has the contact that contacts with the splicing ear that forms on card.Fixed arm can be pressed into and be fixed on the 1st recess.Fixed arm can be integrally formed with housing.The leading part (aftermentioned) of lid can be formed on the end of fixed arm, by this leading part is welded on the printed circuit board (PCB), thereby this card connector can be formed the mounted on surface connector.
Housing has: opposed pair of sidewalls; With with the pair of sidewalls quadrature and with the card the opposed opposed walls of front-end edge.Can be defined as " for the 1st recess of card plug " by the thin rectangular-shaped space that pair of sidewalls and opposed walls surrounded.And, also can will approach rectangular-shaped space as the card maintaining part.In pair of sidewalls, also can utilize the sidewall of sliding part to form a sidewall, on housing, form another sidewall.And, cover the 1st recess by utilizing lid, thereby form the rectangular opening that inserts for card opposed to each other with opposed walls.Here, because the distance between the opposed pair of sidewalls is wideer slightly than the width of card, so, utilize pair of sidewalls to limit the attitude (inclinations) of card, can be to the splicing ear on card, arranged and the also establishing contact contraposition correctly of putting on housing.
Lid is made by sheet metal.By the sheet metal that launches is formed processing, can obtain the lid of desired shape.Lid is preferably made by the sheet metal of conductivity, and the lid covering shell by being made by the sheet metal of conductivity can obtain shield effectiveness.
The both sides of lid also can meet at right angles in bending process.Also can form rectangular opening at the sidepiece of these bending processes, with this rectangular opening fastening on the outstanding protuberance in the two sides of housing.And, also can cover the leading part that is provided with the printed circuit board (PCB) welding, thus, can strengthen covering the bond strength with printed circuit board (PCB), lid can be connected on the ground wire of printed circuit board (PCB).Here, can lid with opposed of the 1st recess on the 1st leaf spring described later is set.
Also can card detecting switch be set in the opposed walls side of the 1st recess, this card detecting switch carries out electro-detection to the situation that is positioned in the installation site.For example, card detecting switch can be made of movable platen and fixed head, and when being positioned in the installation site, the front end of movable platen is blocked pushing and the contact fixed head, and card detecting switch becomes status of electrically connecting.When the 1st recess is extracted card, movable platen returns to original position and leaves from fixed head, and card detecting switch becomes the disconnected state of TURP.Like this, can test card have or not.
As described later, a sidepiece at housing is provided with the groove that bootable sliding part moves.And sliding part is limited by this groove, can advance and retreat on the direction parallel with the plug direction of card.The rectilinear motion that only allows sliding part to advance and retreat.
For example, on sliding part, be formed with and the 1st outstanding abreast cylindrical protrusion of groove.On the other hand, on housing, be formed with the 1st cylindrical protrusion opposed and with the 2nd outstanding abreast cylindrical protrusion of groove.And, be erected between the 1st cylindrical protrusion and the 2nd cylindrical protrusion by two end windings, thereby the power that can utilize the direction that card is discharged from is to the sliding part application of force compression helical spring.Under the state that does not insert card, sliding part is compressed the helical spring application of force and stops at the open side of the 1st recess.
The base end part of the 1st leaf spring can be fixed on and cover.The leading section of the 1st leaf spring with run through the cam path that is arranged on the lip-deep heart type of sliding part and be connected.And the leading section of the 1st leaf spring is driven in the cam path of heart type.The 1st leaf spring can be that spring function is the leaf spring of cantilever beam.Because the leading section of the 1st leaf spring is driven in the cam path of heart type, thereby bending moment acts on the 1st leaf spring, the 1st leaf spring generation strain.
If will have the sliding part of the cam path of heart type is cam as driving link, the 1st leaf spring as driven member, be we can say that then sliding part and the 1st leaf spring constitute the cam gear of the relative displacement with driven member of cam.Here, cam path is a plane curve of describing heart type track.The leading section of the 1st leaf spring is driven in the track of the cam path of heart type, carries out strain in the mode of swing.The cam gear that constitutes by sliding part and the 1st leaf spring can the regulation sliding part stop position.
And then, the track that the cam path of heart type is described to leave the track that leaves stroke of starting point and returned the backstroke of starting point.Even the track of the cam path of the heart type situation that part is driven in the wrong direction occurs at the leading section of the 1st leaf spring, in whole stroke, also can describe the not retrograde irreversible continuous path of leading section of the 1st leaf spring.As entity, the cam path of heart type has the V-shaped valley that is V word shape depression at the breakout of the track of track that leaves stroke and backstroke.The leading section fastening of the 1st leaf spring is in this V-shaped valley, and sliding part is compressed the helical spring application of force thus, sliding part can be locked in the installation site of card.The cam gear that constitutes by the cam path and the 1st leaf spring of heart type also can the regulation sliding part stop position.
For example, thus the base end side of the 2nd leaf spring described later is pressed into sliding part the 2nd leaf spring can be fixed on the sliding part.Thus, the front of the 2nd leaf spring is to be configured on the sliding part towards the outstanding mode of the opening of the 1st recess.And the 2nd leaf spring and sliding part can be advanced and retreat integratedly.The 2nd leaf spring can be that spring function is the leaf spring of cantilever beam, and card acts on the semi arch pawl that the leading section of the 2nd leaf spring forms as load, thus the 2nd leaf spring generation strain.
Card forms essentially rectangular, and the width of the front that disposes splicing ear of card is narrower than the width of the base end side of card.It is the hypotenuse at obtuse angle that a side in the parallel two sides of the front of card forms angle of release, and continuous with a side in the two sides that are parallel to base end side.That is, the front of card bight becomes the shape that is single-blade shape otch.And, the 2nd recess of general square shape and the hypotenuse adjacency of card.
In the time will blocking the 1st recess that inserts housing, described hypotenuse and described semi arch pawl butt.In the time further will blocking insertion the 1st recess, the semi arch pawl slides at hypotenuse and is pressed simultaneously.Then, under the state of the front-end edge butt of hypotenuse and snap-latch piece, the semi arch pawl slides on the surface of card, and is outstanding at the 2nd recess of card.In addition, also can on the front-end edge of snap-latch piece, form inclined-plane with gradient identical with the hypotenuse of card.Then, when pushing card, sliding part moves to the inboard direction (opposed walls side) of the 1st recess of housing.
Thereby card is being shifted onto under the state that end card returns a little, the leading section fastening of the 1st leaf spring is in V-shaped valley, and in the installation site of card, sliding part is locked in the housing.In the installation site of card, the semi arch pawl that is arranged in the leading section of the 2nd leaf spring has 2nd recess of flexibly fastening at card, therefore, can keep the installment state of card reliably.
Block when the installment state from card pushes away, the leading section of the 1st leaf spring discharges from V-shaped valley, moves in backstroke.Then, be compressed the helical spring application of force, sliding part makes card move to the open side of the 1st recess.Relatively turn back to moment of starting point of the cam path of heart type at the leading section of the 1st leaf spring, sliding part stops.Here, though effect has inertia force on card,, because the semi arch pawl has flexibly fastening in the 2nd recess of card, so can prevent reliably that card from inadvertently ejecting.And then, by with stronger strength drawing card, card is broken away from from connector.
Like this, card connector based on the invention of (1) is provided with the 1st plate spring sheet covering of covering shell, the 1st plate spring sheet is driven in the sliding part with heart-shaped cam path, thus can the simple locking mechanism of implementation structure, and can keep the installment state of card reliably.
(2) as (1) described card connector, described card connector also has the 2nd leaf spring, and the base end side of the 2nd leaf spring is fixed on the described sliding part, and the front of the 2nd leaf spring is outstanding to the opening of described the 1st recess,
Described the 2nd leaf spring has the semi arch pawl at its leading section, and this semi arch pawl passes in and out described the 2nd recess of described card from face side, and has flexibly fastening in the 2nd recess.
According to card connector based on the invention of (2), the 2nd leaf spring with semi arch pawl is set on the sliding part that advance and retreat move, by this semi arch pawl is embedded in the 2nd square recess that forms, can prevent more reliably that card from inadvertently ejecting on card.
(3) as (2) described card connector, described housing has: the groove that bootable described sliding part moves; And passage, this passage is communicated with this groove, and the front-end edge of described the 2nd leaf spring and described passage closely move,
The bottom surface of described passage, is closed to end from this to the opening midway towards the inboard from the described open side of described the 1st recess midway.
In card connector based on the invention of (3), the passage that housing has groove and is communicated with this groove.The bootable sliding part of groove moves.In passage, the front-end edge of the 2nd leaf spring and passage closely move.And the bottom surface of passage, is closed to end from this to the opening midway towards the inboard from the open side of the 1st recess midway.
Groove can be formed on the sidepiece of the 1st recess, and opening becomes roughly rectangle, forms in the mode of the part depression on the plane of housing.Sliding part is accommodated in this groove in the mode that can advance and retreat.The bottom surface of the 1st recess becomes ladder, forms a side of groove.Snap-latch piece moves along a side of this groove.Groove can comprise the part of the 1st recess.
Passage comprises the part of the 1st recess, forms from the square passage of the bottom surface depression of the 1st recess.Passage can form abreast with groove, an end of passage and the open communication of the 1st recess, and the other end of passage is communicated with groove.Here, the bottom surface opening of so-called passage is meant that the front-end edge of semi arch pawl can be towards the meaning of opening deflection.On the other hand, the bottom surface of so-called passage is closed, and is meant the front-end edge of semi arch pawl and the bottom surface butt of passage, and the meaning that is difficult to deflection.
Like this, in the card connector based on the invention of (3), because housing has passage, the front-end edge of the 2nd leaf spring and passage closely move, so under the installment state of blocking, the semi arch pawl is difficult for deflection, can keep card reliably.On the other hand, when discharging card, as mentioned above, can prevent more reliably that card from ejecting, compare, can enough weak power be extracted by card with the installment state of card.
(4) as each the described card connector in (1)~(3), described lid and described the 1st leaf spring are integrally formed.
For example, on the sheet metal that launches, except the base end part of the 1st leaf spring, carry out punch process in advance, to form the profile of the 1st leaf spring.Then, by bending process the 1st leaf spring, can make lid and the 1st leaf spring integrally formed.Also can use the composite die that can carry out described punch process and described bending process in the lump.
In card connector based on the invention of (4), owing to covering the 1st leaf spring that cam path integrally formed and heart type is connected, so, the guide bar not needing shown in patent documentation 1 as miscellaneous part.Therefore, can cut down the cost of making guide bar and the cost of assembling guide bar, help to reduce the manufacturing cost of card connector.
