再者,卡鎖扣件34包含一板狀部344,板狀部344在本體32之底面與致動裝置351之間所界定之空間內移動。板狀部344可促使卡鎖扣件34移動正常。 Furthermore, the latching member 34 includes a plate portion 344 that moves within the space defined between the bottom surface of the body 32 and the actuator 351. The plate portion 344 can cause the latch fastener 34 to move normally.
參照圖6至圖10所示,致動裝置351可在一靠外位置(如圖9和圖10所示)和一靠內位置(圖7和圖8所示)之間沿平行托盤5之插入方向之一方向移動。致動裝置351可移動卡鎖扣件34。卡鎖扣件34包含一第一連動部343,而致動裝置351包含一第二連動部3511。第一連動部343和第二連動部3511可相連結,以讓卡鎖扣件34和致動裝置351可連動(linked movement),如此卡鎖扣件34在鎖扣位置和開鎖位置間移動時,致動裝置351可在靠外位置和靠內位置間同步移動。第 一連動部343和第二連動部3511間之相互作用可造成卡鎖扣件34和致動裝置351在不同方向上移動,例如在兩垂直方向上移動。 Referring to Figures 6-10, the actuating device 351 can be along the parallel tray 5 between an outer position (as shown in Figures 9 and 10) and an inner position (shown in Figures 7 and 8). Move in one of the directions of insertion. Actuating device 351 can move latching clip 34. The latching member 34 includes a first linking portion 343, and the actuating device 351 includes a second linking portion 3511. The first linking portion 343 and the second linking portion 3511 can be coupled to allow the latching member 34 and the actuating device 351 to be linked, such that the latching member 34 moves between the latching position and the unlocking position. The actuating device 351 is movable synchronously between the outer position and the inner position. First The interaction between a linkage 343 and the second linkage 3511 can cause the latching member 34 and the actuating device 351 to move in different directions, such as in two perpendicular directions.
如圖6所示,在一實施例中,卡鎖扣件34之第一連動部343包含一銷桿(pin),而致動裝置351之第二連動部3511包含一開槽,其中開槽可相對於致動裝置351之移動方向傾斜一角度(例如45度)。開槽具有兩長開槽邊。當致動裝置351移動時,一長開槽邊會抵接銷桿,並推動該銷桿沿其移動,如此卡鎖扣件34可被移動。在另一方面,當銷桿移動時,銷桿會抵壓另一長開槽邊,並沿該長開槽邊移動,以推動致動裝置351。在一實施例中,銷桿具有橢圓截面。 As shown in FIG. 6, in an embodiment, the first linking portion 343 of the latching member 34 includes a pin, and the second linking portion 3511 of the actuating device 351 includes a slot in which the slot is slotted. It may be inclined at an angle (for example, 45 degrees) with respect to the moving direction of the actuating device 351. The slot has two long slotted edges. When the actuating device 351 is moved, a long slotted edge abuts the pin and pushes the pin along it so that the latching member 34 can be moved. On the other hand, as the pin moves, the pin will press against the other long slot edge and move along the long slot edge to push the actuator 351. In an embodiment, the pin has an elliptical cross section.
致動裝置351可具有一板狀形狀。致動裝置351可被限制在一下凹空間325內,沿一平台324移動。致動裝置351可進一步包含一彎曲端部3512,彎曲端部3512設置靠近本體32之前端,本體32可包含一下凹區域326,其中彎曲端部3512被限制在下凹區域326內移動,如此致動裝置351之移動可受限制。 The actuating device 351 can have a plate shape. Actuating device 351 can be restrained from moving within a recessed space 325 along a platform 324. Actuating device 351 can further include a curved end 3512 disposed adjacent the forward end of body 32, and body 32 can include a recessed region 326 wherein curved end 3512 is constrained to move within recessed region 326, such actuation The movement of device 351 can be limited.
參照圖6至圖10所示,卡連接器3更包含一彈性件37。彈性件37可產生對抗將致動裝置351向內移動之一力量之一彈力,而且該彈力可在該力量移除後,將致動裝置351向外移動。在一實施例中,彈性件37包含彈簧。 Referring to FIGS. 6 to 10, the card connector 3 further includes an elastic member 37. The resilient member 37 can create an elastic force against one of the forces that move the actuator 351 inwardly, and the elastic force can move the actuator 351 outwardly after the force is removed. In an embodiment, the resilient member 37 includes a spring.
特別地,一槽道328形成於平台324上,並與下凹區域326通連。一支撐件38設置於槽道328之末端,以抵接彈性件37之一末端。支撐件38可具有一細桿,細桿可穿入彈性 件37。彈性件37之另一端抵接致動裝置351之彎曲端部3512。 In particular, a channel 328 is formed on the platform 324 and is in communication with the recessed area 326. A support member 38 is disposed at the end of the channel 328 to abut one end of the elastic member 37. The support member 38 can have a thin rod, and the thin rod can penetrate the elastic Item 37. The other end of the resilient member 37 abuts the curved end 3512 of the actuator 351.
圖7至圖10是用來說明承載著電子卡4之托盤5在插入時,卡鎖扣件34與退卡機構35之操作情況。當單一、不同大小之電子卡直接插入時,操作情況亦雷同。如圖7和圖8所示,在正插入之托盤5碰觸卡鎖扣件34之鎖扣部341,鎖扣部341被推動,讓卡鎖扣件34以遠離收容空間321之方式移動,直到鎖扣部341之頂端抵接在托盤5之右側邊。在卡鎖扣件34移動當中,卡鎖扣件34之第一連動部343(在本實施例中為銷桿)會抵壓在第二連動部3511(在本實施例中為開槽)上,靠近槓桿件352之長開槽邊。第一連動部343會沿著相同長開槽邊移動,此時致動裝置351會向內移動,而彈性件37會被壓縮。 7 to 10 are diagrams for explaining the operation of the latching member 34 and the card ejecting mechanism 35 when the tray 5 carrying the electronic card 4 is inserted. When a single, different sized electronic card is inserted directly, the operation is similar. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, when the tray 5 being inserted touches the latching portion 341 of the latching member 34, the latching portion 341 is pushed to move the latching member 34 away from the receiving space 321 . Until the top end of the locking portion 341 abuts on the right side of the tray 5. During the movement of the latching member 34, the first linking portion 343 (in this embodiment, the pin) of the latching member 34 is pressed against the second linking portion 3511 (in the present embodiment, the slot) Close to the long slotted edge of the lever member 352. The first linkage portion 343 moves along the same long slot edge, at which time the actuator 351 will move inward and the resilient member 37 will be compressed.
參照圖9與圖10所示,當托盤5之後側邊靠近本體32之後方時,後側邊會碰觸槓桿件352之第一臂部3521,轉動槓桿件352,直到托盤5被完全插入為止。在插入過程的某一時刻,托盤5之凹口52與卡鎖扣件34之鎖扣部341會相遇。由於壓縮之彈性件37所產生之彈力之緣故,卡鎖扣件34會向凹口52移動。在沒有從托盤5之右側邊施加在卡鎖扣件34上之反抗力之情形下,壓縮之彈性件37所產生之彈力會移動致動裝置351,以及在第二連動部3511上靠近槓桿件352之長開槽邊會抵壓卡鎖扣件34之第一連動部343,並施加力量在第一連動部343上,其中一部份力量會將卡鎖扣件34移向收容空間321,直到卡鎖扣件34之鎖扣部341進入凹口 52為止。因為卡鎖扣件34之鎖扣部341是以線性方式移向和遠離收容空間321,所以凹口52和鎖扣部341可彼此緊密配合,因而托盤5可在插入後被緊固。 Referring to Figures 9 and 10, when the rear side of the tray 5 is near the rear of the body 32, the rear side will touch the first arm portion 3521 of the lever member 352, and the lever member 352 is rotated until the tray 5 is fully inserted. . At some point during the insertion process, the notch 52 of the tray 5 meets the latching portion 341 of the latching member 34. Due to the elastic force generated by the compressed elastic member 37, the latching member 34 moves toward the recess 52. In the case where there is no resistance exerted on the latching member 34 from the right side of the tray 5, the elastic force generated by the compressed elastic member 37 moves the actuating device 351, and is closer to the lever member on the second linking portion 3511. The long slotted edge of the 352 will press against the first linkage portion 343 of the latching fastener 34 and exert a force on the first linkage portion 343, wherein a portion of the force will move the latching fastener 34 toward the receiving space 321, Until the latching portion 341 of the latching member 34 enters the recess 52 so far. Since the latching portion 341 of the latching member 34 is moved toward and away from the receiving space 321 in a linear manner, the notch 52 and the latching portion 341 can be closely fitted to each other, and thus the tray 5 can be fastened after being inserted.
參照圖9、圖11和圖12所示,本體32可包含一開口329,開口329形成於本體32之前側壁上,以暴露致動裝置351之彎曲端部3512。托盤5具有一條狀件53,條狀件53界定收容空間321之一側。一開孔51形成在條狀件53上,開孔51對應本體32之開口329。將棒狀件41插入開口329和開孔51中推壓致動裝置351,可退出托盤5。致動裝置351可向內移動,壓縮彈性件37。類似地,致動裝置351之第二連動部3511之長開槽邊推壓卡鎖扣件34之第一連動部343,使卡鎖扣件34移動並遠離收容空間321;在此同時,卡鎖扣件34之操作部342推壓槓桿件352之突片部35222,轉動槓桿件352。槓桿件352之第一臂部3521之推動片35212向外推壓托盤5之後側邊。當卡鎖扣件34之鎖扣部341脫離托盤5之凹口52時,托盤5向外移動,直到第一連動部343移到第二連動部3511之末端,靠近本體32之外側壁。 Referring to Figures 9, 11 and 12, the body 32 can include an opening 329 formed in a front side wall of the body 32 to expose the curved end 3512 of the actuator 351. The tray 5 has a strip 53 that defines one side of the receiving space 321 . An opening 51 is formed in the strip 53 which corresponds to the opening 329 of the body 32. The tray 5 is ejected by inserting the rod 41 into the opening 329 and the opening 51 to urge the actuator 351. The actuating device 351 is movable inwardly to compress the elastic member 37. Similarly, the long slotted edge of the second linking portion 3511 of the actuating device 351 pushes the first linking portion 343 of the latching member 34 to move the latching member 34 away from the receiving space 321; at the same time, the card The operating portion 342 of the locking member 34 pushes the tab portion 35222 of the lever member 352 to rotate the lever member 352. The push piece 35212 of the first arm portion 3521 of the lever member 352 pushes the rear side of the tray 5 outward. When the latching portion 341 of the latching member 34 is disengaged from the recess 52 of the tray 5, the tray 5 is moved outward until the first linking portion 343 is moved to the end of the second linking portion 3511, near the outer side wall of the body 32.
儘管在上述實施例中卡鎖扣件34與退卡機構35是使用在接收托盤5之卡連接器3,然而在另一實施例中,相同的卡鎖扣件34與退卡機構35可運用在直接接收電子卡之卡連接器。 Although the latching member 34 and the ejecting mechanism 35 are used in the card connector 3 of the receiving tray 5 in the above embodiment, in another embodiment, the same latching member 34 and the ejecting mechanism 35 are applicable. The card connector that directly receives the electronic card.
一實施例之卡連接器包含一本體和一偵測開關。偵測開關包含一彈性件,偵測開關可偵測電子卡之插入。卡連接器可接收托盤,托盤包含一側壁,側壁界定一卡收容空 間。彈性件包含一頂推部。一缺口形成於托盤之側壁。頂推部被形成以伸入本體上用於收容托盤之收容空間,及進一步伸入插入托盤之卡收容空間。缺口可避免在托盤插入時彈性件與托盤間之碰觸。此外,缺口可顯露電子卡之一角落部分。電子卡之該角落部分可碰觸和頂推該頂推部,彎曲該彈性件,啟動一插卡信號。 The card connector of an embodiment comprises a body and a detection switch. The detection switch includes an elastic member, and the detection switch detects the insertion of the electronic card. The card connector can receive the tray, the tray includes a side wall, and the side wall defines a card receiving space between. The elastic member includes a pushing portion. A notch is formed in the side wall of the tray. The ejector portion is formed to extend into the body for accommodating the accommodating space of the tray, and further extends into the card accommodating space of the insertion tray. The notch avoids contact between the elastic member and the tray when the tray is inserted. In addition, the gap can reveal a corner portion of the electronic card.
