The height of middle portion 2154 is less than the height of both end portions 2152 to facilitate the extension of contact terminals from middle portion 2154 into card slot 211 and into contact with metal contacts 30, and further, a chamfer is formed on the side of middle portion 2154 remote from card slot 211 to further facilitate the extension of contact terminals from middle portion 2154 into card slot 211.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the slider 22 can slide along the sliding slot 212, and the slider 22 can hold the data card 300 when the data card 300 is received in the card slot 211. Specifically, the slide groove 212 extends in a first direction, and the slider 22 is slidable in the first direction within the slide groove 212. The slider 22 includes a contact surface 222, and the slider 22 contacts the data card 300 through the contact surface 222. When the data card 300 is not accommodated in the card slot 211, the slider 22 extends into the card slot 211 along the first direction by a first depth D1, and when the data card 300 is accommodated in the data card 300, the slider 22 extends into the card slot 211 along the first direction by a second depth D2, the first depth D1 is greater than the second depth D2, and of course, the size of different data cards 300 may be different, and the second depth D2 may be different. Furthermore, a position corresponding to the data card 300 on the abutting surface 222 is provided with a limiting groove (not shown), and when the data card 300 is installed, one side of the data card 300 is aligned with the limiting groove and the data card 300 is installed in the card slot 211, so that the limiting groove further limits the position of the data card 300 and prevents the data card 300 from sliding on the abutting surface 222.

The elastic member 23 is connected to the slider 22, and the elastic member 23 is used for pressing the slider 22 in a deformed state so that the slider 22 abuts against the data card 300. Specifically, the elastic member 23 and the slider 22 may be integrally formed or separately formed, the material of the elastic member 23 may be the same as or different from that of the slider 22, and the elastic member 23 may be fixedly or movably connected to the slider 22. It will be appreciated that the resilient member 23 is changeable between a natural state and a deformed state, and when the data card 300 is not received in the card slot 211, the resilient member 23 is in the natural state and does not press the slider 22, and the slider 22 extends into the card slot 211 by the first depth D1 along the first direction. When the data card 300 needs to be installed in the card slot 211, one side of the data card 300 abuts against the abutting surface 222 and pushes the sliding block 22 to slide in the sliding groove 212 to a second depth D2 extending into the card slot 211 along the first direction, the other side of the data card 300 abuts against two end portions 2152 of the third side wall 215, at this time, the data card 300 is accommodated in the card slot 211, the elastic member 23 is in a deformed state and presses the sliding block 22 along the first direction, and the data card 300 is stably installed in the card slot 211 under the abutting action of the sliding block 22 and the end portions 2152.

In the card holder 20, the plug-in device 100 and the terminal 200, the elastic element 23 can press the slider 22 in a deformed state, so that the slider 22 can support the data card 300 when the data card 300 is accommodated in the card slot 211, and further, the data card 300 can be stably mounted on the card holder 20, and the data card 300 cannot be separated from the card holder 20 when the card holder 20 is turned over.

The chuck 21 also includes an upper surface 217 and a lower surface 218, the lower surface 218 being opposite the upper surface 217. Specifically, the upper surface 217 may be parallel to the lower surface 218 to easily push the card holder 20 into the card holder 10, and when it is desired to mount the card holder 20 in the card holder 10, the card holder 20 is generally rotated to a state where the upper surface 217 faces upward and the lower surface 218 faces downward, and further the card holder 20 is pushed into the card holder 10.

In some embodiments, the number of card slots 211 is one. Card slot 211 and spout 212 are both opened on upper surface 217, and card slot 211 and spout 212 do not pass lower surface 218 so that data card 300 can not drop when upper surface 217 faces upward, and simultaneously, install data card 300 in card slot 211 easily, observe the state of slider 22 and dismouting slider 22 easily.

In some embodiments, there are two slots 211, two slots 211 being an upper slot 2111 and a lower slot 2112, respectively, with upper slot 2111 being disposed on upper surface 217 and lower slot 2112 being disposed on lower surface 218. The chute 212 is opened on the upper surface 217, the chute 212 penetrates the upper card slot 2111 in the depth direction and partially penetrates the lower card slot 2112, and the slider 22 can abut against the data card 300 when the data card 300 is accommodated in the upper card slot 2111 and/or the lower card slot 2112. Thus, the card holder 20 can accommodate two data cards 300 at the same time, the functions of the terminal 200 are expanded, and the structure of the card holder 20 is compact. Specifically, depending on specific usage requirements, data card 300 may be installed in both upper card slot 2111 and lower card slot 2112, data card 300 may be installed in upper card slot 2111 without installing data card 300 in lower card slot 2112, and data card 300 may be installed in lower card slot 2112 without installing data card 300 in upper card slot 2111. The positions of the upper card slot 2111 and the lower card slot 2112 may be corresponding, and the opening depths of the upper card slot 2111 and the lower card slot 2112 may be the same or different. The sliding slot 212 passes through the upper slot 2111 in the depth direction and partially penetrates the lower slot 2112, that is, the sliding slot 212 passes through the upper surface 217 and the bottom of the upper slot 2111 and partially penetrates the lower slot 2112, and the sliding slot 212 is spaced apart from the lower surface 218.

Correspondingly, in some embodiments, chuck 21 further includes a divider plate 21a, divider plate 21a being disposed between upper card slot 2111 and lower card slot 2112, divider plate 21a being used to space data card 300 received within upper card slot 2111 from data card 300 received within lower card slot 2112. In this way, partition plate 21a can separate two data cards 300, so that when one data card 300 is dismounted, the other data card 300 is not affected, and partition plate 21a can lift data card 300 to prevent data card 300 from falling in a direction perpendicular to upper surface 217 and lower surface 218. Specifically, the number of partition plates 21a is two, and the two partition plates 21a extend from the second side wall 214 and the fourth side wall 216 into the notch 211, respectively.

In some embodiments, the chuck 21 further includes a fixing groove 219, the fixing groove 219 being formed on the upper surface 217, the fixing groove 219 communicating with the slide groove 212, the elastic member 23 being received in the fixing groove 219. The fixing groove 219 includes a first wall 2191 adjacent to the locking groove 211 and a second wall 2192 opposite to the first wall 2191, the second wall 2192 being gradually distant from the locking groove 211 in a direction from both ends of the fixing groove 219 toward a middle position of the fixing groove 219.

Thus, the state of the elastic member 23 can be easily observed and the elastic member 23 can be easily attached and detached. Meanwhile, the second wall 2192 gradually moves away from the card slot 211 in a direction from both ends of the fixing groove 219 toward a middle position of the fixing groove 219, that is, a width of the fixing groove 219 gradually increases in a direction from both ends of the fixing groove 219 toward the middle position of the fixing groove 219. Thus, when the elastic element 23 deforms, friction between the elastic element 23 and the second wall 2192 is reduced, and the service life of the elastic element 23 is prolonged. Specifically, the fixing groove 219 extends entirely in the second direction, and the first wall 2191 extends in the second direction. In one embodiment, both ends of the elastic member 23 are fixed to both ends of the fixing groove 219, and may be fixed by gluing or the like. In another embodiment, the elastic member 23 may abut against an inner wall of the fixing groove 219, and when the elastic member 23 is deformed, the elastic member 23 abuts against the inner wall of the fixing groove 219, and the elastic member 23 is fixed in the fixing groove 219 by a frictional force provided by the fixing groove 219.

In some embodiments, the sliding block 22 slides in the sliding groove 212 in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the elastic member 23, and the elastic member 23 penetrates through the sliding block 22 or the elastic member 23 extends outward from both sides of the sliding block 22. In this way, the elastic member 23 has a large pressing action on the slider 22 in the deformed state. Specifically, when the elastic element 23 penetrates the slider 22, the elastic element 23 and the slider 22 are in interference fit, so that the elastic element 23 and the slider 22 are tightly fitted. The shape of the elastic member 23 may be a columnar shape or a spiral shape.

In some embodiments, the sliding block 22 is located at a middle position in the length direction of the elastic member 23, and the sliding direction of the sliding block 22 in the sliding groove 212 is aligned with the middle position of the locking groove 211. Therefore, the extrusion force of the elastic member 23 on the two sides of the slider 22 is uniform, so that the slider 22 is prevented from being pulled out of the sliding groove 212 due to uneven stress, the sliding direction of the slider 22 is aligned with the middle position of the card slot 211, and the data card 300 is prevented from being pulled out of the card slot 211 when being supported by the slider 22.

In some embodiments, the card holder 20 further includes a handle 24, the handle 24 is connected to one end of the chuck 21, and the sliding slot 212 is located between the card slot 211 and the handle 24. Specifically, the handle 24 is connected to the first sidewall 213 of the card slot 211, the handle 24 is substantially perpendicular to the chuck 21, and the user pushes the chuck 21 into the accommodating space 12 by pushing and pulling the handle 24, and meanwhile, the handle 24 can be clamped on the card seat 10, so as to prevent the entire card holder 20 from being difficult to be taken out after completely extending into the accommodating space 12.
