S: Surface Contact Card (SIM Card)
The present invention relates to a connector for a surface contact card. In recent years, by inserting a card with a surface contact having a unique circuit from the outside into an electronic device, it is possible to widen or specify the width of the function of the electronic device.
For example, in a portable telephone, by attaching a card called a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, it can function as a telephone dedicated to the owner of the SIM card. Therefore, if one mobile phone has a SIM card, the SIM card can be easily replaced so that it can be used as the phone of the person.
When the mobile phone removes the cover attached to the window formed in a part of the case, the SIM card socket connector 50 as shown in FIG. 6 of the accompanying drawings is stored therein, and the SIM card can be easily replaced. I can do it. The connector 50 is provided with a contactor (not shown) so that the contact portion protrudes from the upper surface of the base body 51 made of an insulating material, and the lid body 52 is rotatably supported by the base body 51. In the state in which the cover is removed, the lid body 52 is rotated upward to be lifted up to be opened, and the SIM card S is placed in the receiving groove 53 formed on the side of the lid body 52. After the insertion, the lid is returned to its original closed position so that the circuit portion of the SIM card S is in elastic contact with the contact.
In such a state, the cover is reattached so that the portable telephone functions as a dedicated device for a person having a SIM card.
The connector 50 is provided with a lock mechanism, thereby preventing the lid 52 containing the SIM card S from being inadvertently opened. The slider 54 is attached to the lid 52 so that the lid 52 can be slid in the A direction, and the slider 54 has a locking piece 54A projecting in the lateral direction. Moreover, the base body 51 is formed with the recessed part 56 which opens up and down to the wall part 55 of the side periphery in the wall part of the circumference side, and the locking groove 57 is formed along the wall part 55. It extends from the recessed part 56, and is formed. In such a lock mechanism, when the lid body 52 is closed, the slider 54 is moved in the tip direction of the lid body 52, and the locking piece 54A is placed in the concave portion 56. The slider 54 is moved in the reverse direction so that the locking piece 54A enters the locking groove 57. In this way, the lid body 52 is locked and does not open unless the locking piece 54A and the locking groove 57 are moved to the front end direction again.
However, in the above-mentioned conventional connector of FIG. 6, there is an inconvenience that the slider must be moved each time the lock and the unlock are performed. In unlocking, if the amount of movement of the slider is insufficient, unlocking is not possible and operation is required once more. Further, the wall portion is thickened to form a locking groove in the base body, and as a result, the connector becomes larger in the lateral direction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a connector for a surface contact card with a locking mechanism that is very simple in handling, can be reliably locked and unlocked, and can be miniaturized.
In the connector for a surface contact card, one end of the lid is rotatably supported on one end of the base body of the insulating material in the same manner as the conventional one, so that the lid body can be opened and closed with respect to the base body. The base body is provided with the contactor which has the contact part which protrudes on the opposing surface toward a lid body. In the card housed in the lid or base body, the circuit portion of the card with surface contact contacts with the contact by closing the lid body with respect to the base body. In such a connector, in the present invention, the lid body and the base body are formed of a plate-shaped portion extending in a plane perpendicular to the rotational movement axis, and the first and the first and second members which face each other by slidingly connecting or approaching each other when the lid is closed. Each of the two locking sides is provided. The first locking side portion and the second locking side portion can be integrally formed on the circumferential side of the base body and the lid body. One of the first and second locking side portions is capable of elastically bending deformation in the lateral direction by receiving an external force, and is formed with a hole-like or recessed locking portion. And the other side pushes the locking side of the one side to the side when closing the cap body to elastically deform the deformation so that the locking projections and the release projections to be caught on the locking portion protrudes toward the locking side of the one side. Have When this latching projection lid is opened, the side positioned farther from the one locking side portion forms a shape of a substantially right triangle that is substantially perpendicular to the locking side portion of the other side, and the locking release portion has one locking side portion. The side located farther with respect to the tip faces the tip and forms a substantially triangular shape which is inclined in a direction approaching the one latching side. Such a release release protrusion is formed at an elastically deformable portion with a degree of freedom with respect to the protrusion at least in the opening direction of the lid body.
In the present invention as described above, the card with the surface contact is inserted into and ejected from the receiving groove of the lid body in the same manner as in the case of the conventional connector.
In the present invention, when the lid body for accommodating the card is closed, one of the locking side portions is pushed laterally from the side of the one locking side portion of the locking protrusion of the other locking side portion to be elastically deformed and deformed, and the locking protrusion and The locking release projection enters the hole-shaped or recessed locking portion formed on one locking side portion. After this, one of the locking side portions is elastically returned in a circular shape, and the locking portion and the locking protrusion are caught with each other so that the lid body is not inadvertently opened.
In opening the lid to take out the card, a force is applied to the lid to lift the lid in the opening direction. The locking projection piece formed on the other locking side portion is engaged with the locking portion of the one locking side portion, but the locking protrusion piece has a degree of freedom in the opening direction with respect to the locking projection piece, and since the latched side is inclined, This side is displaced in the opening direction while sliding with respect to the engaging portion. That is, the one locking side portion in which the locking portion is formed is pushed laterally by such a displacement of the locking release protrusion, so that the elastic bending deformation occurs, and is separated from the other locking side portion in which the locking release protrusion is formed. This pulls out the locking protrusion formed in the one locking side portion from the locking portion formed in the other locking side portion. That means that the lock is released.
In this way the lock is released and the lid is brought open.
EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment form of this invention is described based on FIGS. 1-5 of an accompanying drawing.
The connector 1 for a surface contact card of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has the base body 2 and the lid 3 shape | molded from the insulating material. The base body 2 and the lid body 3 are rotatably connected about an axis 4 at one end of both of them.
A plurality of slit-shaped openings 5 are formed in parallel in the central portion of the base body 2, and the contact portions 6A of the metal contacts 6 held at the ends of the base body 2 are larger than the upper surface. It protrudes. The connection part 6B of this contact 6 is bent downward, and when this base body 2 is arrange | positioned at a circuit board (not shown), this connection part 6B contacts the corresponding circuit part of a circuit board. Can be connected by soldering or the like.
On both sides of the base body 2, plate-shaped first locking side portions 7 extending in the longitudinal direction of the side portions are formed on surfaces perpendicular to the rotational movement axis 4. This first catching side portion 7 has this axis 4 from an end side that is separated from the axis 4 of the base body 2. It extends in the arm shape which protruded toward the edge part side, and the base forms the narrow part 7A, and when it receives an external force, it can elastically bend in the lateral direction (thickness direction of the locking side part 7 of plate shape). This first catching side portion 7 is disposed in the side recessed portion 8 of the base body 2 and is accommodated within the width of the base body 2. The locking side portion 7 is formed with two locking portions 9 and 10 of a window type. The two locking portions 9 and 10 may be concave, which are opened downward even if they are not window-shaped, and the two locking portions 9 and 10 may communicate with each other. Importantly, the upper edges of the window-shaped locking portions 9 and 10 shown may be formed to function as locking edges.
The lid 3, which is rotatable about the base 4 by rotating around the axis 4, has a U-shaped receiving groove 11 formed in a part of both sides, and the surface contact from above in FIG. 1. An attached card, for example a SIM card S, is adapted to be inserted here. Therefore, the SIM card S accommodated in the accommodating groove 11 is shown by the side of the circuit part toward the base body 2.
The lid body 3 has an inverted U-shaped groove 12 in the center portion and an inverted L-shaped groove 13 adjacent to both sides of the groove 12 in FIG. The elastic deflection deformation is easily generated. At this end, the handle part 14 used when opening the lid 3 is bent to the half base body 2 side. Such a lid 3 has a second catching side portion 15 that is bent at right angles on both sides. The second locking side portion 15 is provided at a position that is substantially slidingly connected to or close to the first locking side portion 7 of the base body 2 when the lid body 3 is closed. The groove 13 opened at the edge side of the sieve 3 is divided into two, a locking arm portion 15A and a locking arm portion 15B. Therefore, the release arm 15B located on the end side of the lid 3 has a degree of freedom to elastically bend in the thickness direction of the lid 3 with respect to the engagement arm 15A. That is, when the lid 3 is lifted in the open direction from the handle 14, the handle 14 is not caught by the locking arm 15A in the range from the handle 14 to the release arm 15B. Elastic bending deformation.
The engaging arm portion 15A and the disengaging arm portion 15B are bent so that their opposite ends are bent, so that the engaging projection 16 and the engaging projection 17 are each formed in a substantially triangular projection. It is. As shown in FIG. 2, the locking protrusion 16 provided in the locking arm portion 15A of the second locking side portion 15 is connected to the first locking side portion 7 when the lid body 2 is in an open state. The side 16A, which is located far from the center, forms a substantially right triangle that forms a right angle with respect to the engaging arm portion 15A. On the other hand, the release protrusion 17 provided in the release arm part 15B has a side 17A far away from the first catching side 7 toward the tip and toward the first catching side 7. It forms a slanted triangle.
Such a connector of the present embodiment is used in the following manner.
(1) First, the SIM card S is inserted into the receiving groove 11 of the open lid body shown in FIG.
(2) The lid body in which the SIM card S is accommodated is rotated downward in FIG. 1, and is closed as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
In the closed state, the side (hallow side) of the locking protrusion 16 formed on the second locking side portion 15 and the base body 2 side of the locking release protrusion 17 is connected to the first locking side portion 7. In contact, the first catching side portion 7 receives a pressing force, and elastic bending deformation occurs in an outward direction, and the catching protrusion 16 and the catching release protrusion 17 are each a window-shaped catching portion 10. Insert them into (9) and snap them together. At that time, since the side 16A of the locking protrusion 16 extends at a right angle with respect to the locking arm portion 15, it is engaged with the upper edge of the locking portion 10 to lock the lid 3.
(3) Next, when opening the lid 3, the finger 3 is hooked on the handle 14 of the lid 3 to lift the lid 3 upward. The range from the handle portion 14 to the unlocking arm portion 15B causes elastic bending deformation upwards irrespective of the locking arm portion 15A as shown in FIG. Then, since the upper side 17A is inclined, the release protrusion 17 is moved upwardly so that the side 17A is slid with respect to the upper edge 9A of the window-shaped locking portion 9. An elastic bending deformation is caused in the outward direction on the first catching side portion 7. When the elastic deflection of the release arm portion 15B and the elastic deflection of the first catching side portion accompanying it reach a predetermined amount, the locking protrusion 16 is moved away from the locking portion 10 (see FIG. 5). . In this way, the lock to the base body 2 of the lid body 3 is released, and it becomes in the open state of FIG. 1 again, and the SIM card S can be disassembled and replaced.
And in this embodiment, although the locking part of the window shape was provided in the 1st locking side part formed in the base body, and the locking protrusion piece and the unlocking protrusion part was provided in the 2nd locking side part formed in the lid body, It goes without saying that the locking projection piece and the locking release piece may be provided toward the lid body.
In addition, in this embodiment, although the SIM card is accommodated in the accommodating groove of the lid body, the SIM card may be placed directly in the base body without forming the accommodating groove in the lid body.
In the present invention, as described above, only by lifting the lid in an open state, the locking release protrusion provided in a portion having a degree of freedom in bending deformation with respect to the locking protrusion is released so that the opening and closing of the lid is performed once. Operation can be performed, the operation can be simplified, and the locked state can be secured. In addition, since the first and second locking side portions can be formed in a plate shape, the widthwise dimension of the connector is thus compact as the whole connector without increasing.
One end of the lid body is rotatably supported on one end of the base body of the insulating material so that the lid body can be opened and closed with respect to the base body, and the base body is provided with a contact having a contact portion protruding from an opposing face toward the lid body. In the connector for a surface contact card, in which the circuit portion of the surface contact card is brought into contact with the contact by closing the lid body with respect to the base body, wherein the lid body and the base body extend in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotational movement. And a first catching side and a second catching side, each slidingly connected to or close to each other when the lid is closed, and one of the first catching side and the second catching side is elastically flexed laterally under an external force. It is possible to deform and at the same time a hole-shaped or recessed locking portion is formed, and the other side of the one side is closed when the lid is closed. The locking projections and the locking projections which push the locking side to the side to elastically deform and hold the locking portion are projected toward the locking side of the one side, and the locking protrusion is in the open state. At this time, the side that is far from the locking side of one side forms a shape of an approximately right triangle that is almost perpendicular to the side of the locking side of the other side, and the release protrusion has a side that is farther from the side of the side of the locking side. And a substantially triangular shape inclined in a direction close to the one locking side portion, wherein the locking release protrusion is formed at an elastically deformable portion with a degree of freedom with respect to the locking protrusion at least in the opening direction of the lid body. Surface contact card connector.
