Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Smart-Card Connector (Chipkartenleser) nach den Patentanspruch 1, mit einer Schmutzklappe angeordnet in einem zur Aufnahme einer Smart-Card dienenden Kartenschacht. Allgemein bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Rückstellfeder für eine Schmutzklappe.The The present invention relates to a smart card connector (Chip card reader) according to claim 1, with a dirt flap arranged in a serving for receiving a smart card card slot. In general, the invention relates to a return spring for a dirt flap.
Smart-Card Connectoren sind vielfach bekannt und weisen im allgemeinen ein Gehäuse auf in welches eine Smart-Card eingeschoben werden kann um mit Kontaktelementen in elektrischen Kontakt zu kommen, die mit ihren Kontaktenden in einen vom Gehäuse gebildeten Kartenschacht ragen und entweder in einem Oberteil oder einem Unterteil des Gehäuses befestigt sind.Smart card Connectors are widely known and generally have one casing into which a smart card can be inserted with contact elements to get in electrical contact with their contact ends in one from the housing formed card slot and either in a shell or a lower part of the housing are attached.
Um das Eindringen von Schmutz und Staub durch einen Karteneinsetzschlitz des Smart-Card Connectors in den Kartenschacht, insbesondere bei nicht eingesteckter Smart-Card zu verhindern, sieht die Erfindung eine Schmutzklappe vor, die insbesondere in einem vorderen Bereich des Kartenschachtes angeordnet ist und bei nichteingesteckter Smart-Card den Kartenschacht gegenüber Schmutz, Staub und dergleichen verschließt.Around the ingress of dirt and dust through a card insertion slot of the smart card connector into the card slot, especially if not Prevent inserted smart card, the invention provides a Dirt trap in front, especially in a front area of the Card slot is arranged and not inserted smart card the card slot opposite Dirt, dust and the like closes.
In
der
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es einen Smart-Card-Connector mit einem einen Kartenschacht zur Aufnahme einer Smart-Card bildenden Gehäuse derart mit einer Schmutzklappe zu versehen, dass diese insgesamt einen einfachen und leicht montierbaren Aufbau besitzt, wobei der Übergang von der Schließstellung zur Öffnungsstellung dadurch erfolgt, dass die Smart-Card beim Einschieben in den Kartenschacht auf die Schmutzklappe auftrifft und diese entgegen der Kraft einer Rückstellfeder verschwenkt.task The present invention is a smart card connector with a housing a card slot for receiving a smart card forming such to be provided with a dirt flap, that this total one has simple and easy to assemble construction, the transition from the closed position to the open position This is done by the smart card when inserting into the card slot hits the dirt flap and this pivoted against the force of a return spring.
Die
Lösung
Aufgabeerfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit einem
Smart-Card-Connector
Der erfindungsgemäße Smart-Card-Connector weist somit eine zwischen einer Schließstellung und einer Öffnungsstellung verschwenkbare Schmutzklappe auf, die in der Schließstellung den Kartenschacht zum Einsetzschlitz hin abschließt, während in der Öffnungsstellung die Schmutzklappe die Einführung der Smart-Card in den Bereich des Kartenschachtes zulässt, so dass die Kontaktierung mit dem Kontaktelement des Smart-Card-Connectors erfolgen kann. Die Schmutzklappe wird durch die Rückhol- oder Rückstellfeder in die Schließstellung vorgespannt, wobei der Übergang von der Schließstellung zur Öffnungsstellung dadurch erfolgt, dass die Smart-Card beim Einschieben in den Kartenschacht auf die Schmutzklappe auftrifft und diese entgegen der Kraft der Rückstellfeder verschwenkt.Of the Smart card connector according to the invention thus has one between a closed position and an open position pivotable dirt flap, which in the closed position closes the card slot towards the insertion slot while in the open position the dirt flap the introduction the smart card in the area of the card slot allows, so that the contacting with the contact element of the smart card connector can be done. The dirt flap is replaced by the return or Return spring biased in the closed position, the transition from the closed position to the open position This is done by the smart card when inserted into the card slot impinges on the dirt flap and this against the force of Return spring pivoted.
Die erfindungsgemäße Schmutzklappe ist vorzugsweise zwischen einer Schließstellung und einer Öffnungsstellung verschwenkbar. Wenn sich die Schmutzklappe in der Schließstellung befindet, so ist der Kartenschacht zum Einsetzschlitz hin abgeschlossen. In der Öffnungsstellung der Schmutzklappe läßt diese die Einführung der Smart-Card in den Bereich des Kartenschachts zu, wo die Kontaktierung mit den Kontaktelementen des Smart-Card-Connector erfolgen soll. Vorzugsweise wird die Schmutzklappe durch eine Rückstellfeder in ihre Schließstellung vorgespannt. Ferner erfolgt vorzugsweise der Übergang von der Schließstellung zur Öffnungsstellung dadurch, dass die Smart-Card beim Einschieben in den Kartenschacht auf die Schmutzklappe auftrifft und diese entgegen der Kraft der Rückstellfeder verschwenkt.The Dirt trap according to the invention is preferably between a closed position and an open position pivotable. When the dirt flap in the closed position is located, the card slot is closed to insertion slot out. In the open position the dirt flap leaves this the introduction the smart card in the area of the card slot to where the contacting to be done with the contact elements of the smart card connector. Preferably the dirt flap by a return spring in its closed position biased. Furthermore, preferably, the transition from the closed position to the open position in that the smart card when inserted into the card slot impinges on the dirt flap and this against the force of the return spring pivoted.
In der Schließstellung liegt die Schmutzklappe mit durch die als Torsionsfeder ausgebildete Rückstellfeder erzeugten Vorspannung an dem Gehäuse an, die dann, wenn die Schmutzklappe mittels des Smart-Card betätigt wird, um ihre Dreh- und Torsionsachse tordiert. Dabei stützt sie sich am Gehäuse ab. In der Öffnungsstellung befindet sich die Schmutzklappe in einer Ausnehmung oder Nut, so dass die Smart-Card vorbeigleiten kann. Wenn die Smart-Card aus dem Smart-Card-Leser herausgezogen wird, so drückt die Rückstellfeder über einen Mitnehmer die Schmutzklappe wieder in die Schließstellung. Die Torsionsachse der Torsionsfeder liegt vorzugsweise in der Drehachse der Schmutzklappe.In the closed position, the dirt flap is generated by the bias spring formed as a torsion spring bias on the housing, which then when the mud flap is actuated by the smart card, twisting about its axis of rotation and torsion. It is supported on the housing. In the open position, the dirt flap is located in a recess or groove, so that the smart card can slide past. When the smart card is pulled out of the smart card reader, the return spring presses on a mit take the dirt flap back into the closed position. The torsion axis of the torsion spring is preferably in the axis of rotation of the dirt flap.
