Abstract

The utility model relates to an electronic card connector device which comprises at least a shadowing apparatus and a connector body, wherein, the shadowing apparatus covers the surface of the connector body, one end of the shadowing apparatus forms a jack for an electronic card to insert, and the upper and the lower sides of the jack is provided with a gate-shaped piece. The gate-shaped piece can embay a rotating shaft on the end part to move and unlock towards the inner part of the shadowing apparatus in order to let the electronic card enter, a motion stopping part which is perpendicular to the gate-shaped piece is convexly installed towards the inner part direction of the shadowing apparatus on the lateral side of the rotating shaft. When the gate-shaped piece is closed under the torsion spring action, the motion stopping part bunts and stops on a bunting face installed on the lateral side for preventing the gate-shaped piece from further rotating towards an outboard direction.

Description

Electronic card connector

The relevant a kind of electronic card connector of the utility model, relate in particular to and a kind ofly be used for winding and meet PC and store card (the Personal Computer memory Card InternationalAssociation of international association, call PCMCIA in the following text) electronic cards, and have the electric power connector device that gate enters to prevent foreign matter.

Further thin littleization of overall dimension, lighting along with portable computer, current portable computer needs to store card by more external hanging type usually and reaches more, stronger function with cooperation, so, the electronic card coupler that is exclusively used in the various electronic cards of winding is widely used in the portable computer, and is further developed into the structure of bilayer even multilayer.Because portable computer is at dirty environment or carry in the process, dust or foreign matter can enter host computer inside by the socket of electronic card coupler, cause main frame inside unclean, thereby can influence the normal operation of portable computer, even have a strong impact on the life-span of its use.So, on existing electronic card coupler basis, the electronic card coupler structure that covers members such as door or dust cap has appearred again having, and pertinent literature can be consulted United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 483, No. 419 cases.And because of having the excessive and unhandy defective of the radius of gyration by existing structure, so it is the double-disk gate that the another kind that industry adopts at present covers door, it is to borrow the set rotating shaft crossbearer in two ends in the upper and lower both sides of the socket of electronic card coupler, and keep its not closed condition during plug-in card by spring, and when plug-in card owing to promoted by electronic cards, the both sides gate can be opened towards the socket inner rotation, and electronic cards is inserted smoothly.And, standingly on the socket both sides put catch and rotate outside the socket because of pushed by spring to stop this gate.Yet, for the TYPE II and TYPE III type electronic cards of PCMCIA, because this type of electronic cards whole height is respectively 5.0mm and 10.50mm, and the socket of individual layer electronic card coupler and guide groove height are all less than 5.0mm, this two electron-likes card can only be inserted in the lower floor of double-deck electronic card coupler like this, and catch is arranged on the both sides middle side part of electronic card coupler socket usually in the conventional construction, will inevitably cause obstruction to the thicker electronic cards of above-mentioned two classes like this, and it can't be inserted in the electronic card connector.

The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of electronic card connector, and it can effectively solve the defective of aforementioned existing catch, and can prevent that the gate of electronic card coupler from overturning outwardly, and can successfully peg graft for the dissimilar electronic cards of PCMCIA.

The purpose of this utility model is achieved in that electronic card connector includes masking device and connector body at least, wherein connector body comprises that lengthwise extends and be provided with the main part of plurality of conductive terminals, vertically be provided with the arm of leading of tool guide groove at these main part two ends, and be formed with stop surface at the end of leading arm; Masking device hides the surface at connector body, the side that its relative covering is led the arm end at connector body is formed with the socket that the power supply subcard inserts, and on this socket, following both sides are provided with gate, it can be opened for electronic cards towards the masking device inner rotation around the rotating shaft of its end and enter, it is characterized in that: the rotating shaft side of gate protrudes towards the masking device internal direction perpendicular to the gate surface and is provided with retainer, when gate returns back to off-position under the torque spring effect, its retainer support to end on the set stop surface of its side, and stops gate further to rotate towards the socket lateral direction.

Advantage of the present utility model is that this retainer can not cause obstruction to the insertion of electronic cards, thereby all kinds electronic cards of PCMCIA all can successfully be inserted wherein.

The utility model is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and preferred embodiment.
