(Paragraph numbers 0012 to 0016, 0028 to 0030, FIGS. 2 to 4)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
FIG. 12 is an enlarged cross-sectional side view of a main part for explaining the problems in the above-described prior art. FIG. 12 shows the loading completion assumed in the above-described prior art.
[0005]
The main part shown in FIG. 12 will be briefly described. A connector 51 having a mountain-shaped terminal member 52 is provided at the back side position in the housing 50 constituting the housing. The retracted position of the card 53 is set such that the front end 53a of the card 53 is separated from the wall 51a of the connector 51 by a distance L1, for example, and this retracted position forms a predetermined mounting position. That is, at this predetermined mounting position, the card 53 is held stationary, the contact member 54 of the card 53 and the terminal member 52 of the connector 51 come into contact, and signals can be transmitted to and received from the card 53.
[0006]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 12, the above-mentioned prior art places the card 53 in a predetermined mounting position in such a manner that the contact member 54 contacts the terminal member 52. However, as the card 53 is repeatedly mounted, May cause problems over time.
[0007]
That is, when the card 53 reaches a predetermined mounting position, the contact member 54 of the card 53 and the terminal member 52 of the connector 51 slide and rub against each other, but a minute amount of shavings 55 is generated by repeating this operation. If the amount of the shaving powder 55 increases and is oxidized to be interposed between the contact member 54 of the card 53 and the terminal member 52 of the connector 51, a contact failure may occur between the contact member 54 and the terminal member 52. . For example, the present inventors have confirmed that a contact failure has occurred once in about 6000 card mounting operations. Such poor contact significantly reduces the reliability of the card connection device.
[0008]
The present invention has been made from the actual situation in the prior art described above, and the object thereof is to reduce the amount of shaving powder interposed between the contact member and the terminal member of the card in the repeated card mounting operation. The object is to provide a card connection device.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plurality of terminal members that can contact a contact member of a card, and a loading mechanism that retracts the card to a predetermined retracting position where the contact member of the card contacts the terminal member. And a card connecting device provided with a motor for driving the loading mechanism. In particular, after the card is pulled to the pull-in position, the motor is driven so as to slightly move the card in a direction opposite to the pull-in direction in a state where the contact member and the terminal member of the card are in contact with each other. Drive control means for controllingA first switch for detecting a position at which loading of the card is started and a second switch for detecting a position at which loading is completed, and the card abuts slightly behind the loading completion position to pull in the card. When the loading completion is detected by the second switch, the operation of the motor is temporarily stopped, and the motor is moved to the stopper portion due to inertia and brought into contact with the card in the retracted position. Control the motor in the opposite direction to finely moveIt is characterized by that.
[0010]
  The present invention configured as described above has a loading mechanism.When the card is pulled in and the loading completion is detected by the second switch, the motor is temporarily stopped.CardAbuts against the stopperTo retracted positionMoveThereafter, the drive control means controls the motor drive so as to change from the normal rotation drive to the reverse rotation. As a result, the loading mechanism works and the card slightly moves in the direction opposite to the drawing direction.
[0011]
  That is, while the contact member and the terminal member of the card are maintained in contact,It moves to the stopper part due to inertia and contactsIt is slightly returned in the direction away from the retracted position. Therefore, even if a very small amount of shavings due to the friction between the contact member and the terminal member of the card is generated immediately before the card reaches the retracted position, the above-mentioned minute amount of the shaving powder is caused by a slight movement of the card. A considerable amount of it is released in the card return direction and falls.
[0012]
As described above, the present invention can reduce the amount of shaving powder interposed between the contact member of the card and the terminal member of the connector in repeated card mounting operations. Thereby, the contact failure with the contact member of a card | curd accompanying a shaving powder and a terminal member can be prevented.
[0014]
  Also, Reverse drive control of the motor by the drive control meansSecondIt can be realized with high accuracy according to the signal of the switch.
[0016]
  AlsoThe return distance of the card, that is, the fine movement distance of the card can be set with reference to the stopper portion. The reverse drive of the motor may be realized by the drive control means so as to correspond to the fine movement distance set in this way. Thereby, it is possible to realize a fine movement operation of the card with high accuracy.
[0017]
According to the present invention, in the above invention, the terminal member has a mountain shape, and a contact portion that contacts the contact member of the card is formed on the top.
[0018]
The present invention configured as described above is effective for discharging and dropping the shavings accumulated in the wedge-shaped space formed between the apex of the mountain shape of the terminal member and the vicinity of the apex and the contact member of the card. .
[0019]

[0027]
The driving mechanism, the moving member 7, the first switch 27, and the second switch 28 constitute a loading mechanism for transferring the card 1 inserted from the insertion port 33 of the chassis 16.
[0028]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a first groove 25 and a second groove 26 each including a cam groove are provided along both side edges of the chassis 16.

When this is done, the rotation fulcrum of the first engaging member 8, that is, the shaft 12, located on the back side of the apparatus, is in a region between the insertion slot 33 of the card 1 formed in the chassis 16 and the first recess 3. It is set in advance to be located.
[0033]
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a motor drive control circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0034]
The motor drive control circuit shown in FIG. 9 has the first switch 27, the second switch 28, and the eject button 34, and the signals output from the first switch 27, the second switch 28, and the eject button 34 described above. Accordingly, the control unit 40 is configured to control the driving of the motor 29.
[0035]
The control device 40 corresponds to an input unit 40a for inputting signals output from the first switch 27, the second switch 28, and the eject button 34, and a fine moving distance for returning the card 1 from a predetermined drawing position, for example, 0.5 mm. A storage unit 40 c that stores the drive signal value of the motor 29 is provided. The control device 40 also includes a calculation unit 40b having a logic judgment and calculation function, and an output unit 40d for outputting a control signal corresponding to the calculation result in the calculation unit 40b to the motor 29.
[0036]
After the card 1 is pulled up to the predetermined pull-in position where the contact member 2 of the card 1 contacts the terminal member 6 of the connector 5, the calculation member 40 b described above contacts the contact member 2 of the card 1 and the terminal member 6. In this state, drive control means for controlling the drive of the motor 29 is included so that the card 1 is finely moved in the direction opposite to the pull-in direction.
[0037]
Hereinafter, the basic operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described mainly based on FIGS. 4 to 8, and the characteristic operation of the present embodiment will be described based on FIGS.
[0038]
[Initial form]
3 and 4 show an initial configuration in which the card 1 is lightly inserted from the insertion port 33 of the chassis 16. In this form, the first switch 27 is kept ON, and the motor 29 does not operate. As shown in FIG. 4, the first engagement member 8 provided on the moving member 7 is not engaged with the first recess 3 of the card 1. Similarly, the second engagement member 10 is not engaged with the second recess 4 of the card 1.
[0039]
[Start loading]
When the card 1 is pushed in, for example, several millimeters in the direction of the arrow 35 in FIG. 5 from the initial form described above, the leading end of the card 1 is locked to the locking portion of the moving member 7, and along with the pushing operation of the card 1. The moving member 7 moves against the force of the spring 32. Thereby, the moving member 7 is engaged with the first switch 27, and the first switch 27 is turned off. The motor 29 is activated by the OFF signal of the first switch 27, and the rack 31 starts to move through the gear mechanism 30. That is, loading is started.
[0040]
Further, due to the movement of the moving member 7 in accordance with the pushing operation of the card 1 described above, the pin 9 of the first engaging member 8 described above slides on the cam groove included in the first groove 25, and also the second engaging. The member 10 slides on the cam groove included in the second groove 26. As a result, the first engagement member 8 rotates about the shaft 12 and engages with the first recess 3 of the card 1. Similarly, the second engagement member 10 rotates about the shaft 13 and engages with the second recess 4. Accordingly, when loading starts and the rack 31 moves toward the back side of the apparatus, the moving member 7 and the card 1 move together toward the back side of the apparatus via the spring 32.
[0041]
[RohdeICompleted]
As described above, when the moving member 7 that moves so as to follow the movement of the rack 31 is engaged with the second switch 28 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the second switch 28 is turned on from the previous OFF state. It becomes.
[0042]
Here, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the main processing performed by the arithmetic unit of the control device provided in the motor drive control circuit shown in FIG. 11A and 11B are diagrams showing an operation when loading is completed according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11A is an enlarged side cross-sectional view showing a state immediately before loading is completed, and FIG. 11B is a state when loading is completed. It is a principal part expanded sectional side view which shows these.
[0043]
As shown in step S1 of FIG. 10, the arithmetic unit 40b of the control device 40 shown in FIG. 9 inputs the signal of the second switch 28 via the input unit 40a, and the second switch 28 of the second switch 28 as shown in step S2. It is determined whether the signal is ON. Since it is now ON, the process moves to step S3, and motor fine movement control by the drive control means described above is performed.
[0044]
That is, the drive signal value of the motor 29 corresponding to the fine movement distance of 0.5 mm stored in the storage unit 40c is read to the calculation unit 40b, and a control signal corresponding to the drive signal value is output to the motor 29.
[0045]
FIG. 11A shows a state in which the card 1 has reached a predetermined retracted position. That is, when the second switch 28 is turned on as described above, the motor 29 temporarily stops operating. For example, due to the inertia at this time, the card 1 moves until the tip end portion 1 a comes into contact with the stopper portion 5 b that is formed to protrude from the wall portion 5 a of the connector 5.
[0046]
The length dimension of the stopper portion 5b is, for example, the dimension L1 between the wall portion 51a of the connector 51 and the front end portion 53a of the card 1 when the card 1 is stopped at a predetermined drawing position in the prior art shown in FIG. Are set equal.
[0047]
When the control signal corresponding to the drive signal value of the motor 29 corresponding to the fine movement distance L2 (= 0.5 mm) is immediately output from the state to the motor 29 by the drive control unit as described above, The forward drive is changed to the reverse drive. Accordingly, the moving member 7 is slightly returned toward the insertion port 33 through the gear mechanism 30 and the rack 31 described above. That is, the card 1 is returned in the direction opposite to the direction in which the fine moving distance L2 (= 0.5 mm) is pulled in while the contact between the contact member 2 of the card 1 and the terminal member 6 of the connector 5 is maintained. The motor 29 stops at a predetermined mounting position. In this state, the second switch 28 is continuously kept ON. It is possible to transmit / receive a desired signal to / from the card 1 at this predetermined mounting position.
[0048]
[Eject operation]
When the card 1 is to be ejected, the eject button 34 provided separately illustrated in FIG. 8 is operated. In response to the operation signal of the eject button 34, the motor 29 starts the reverse rotation again.
[0049]
As a result, an ejection operation is started in which the rack 31 starts moving in the direction opposite to that during loading, that is, in the direction of the insertion port 33 via the gear mechanism 30. The movement of the rack 31 moves the moving member 7 and the card 1 in the direction of the insertion slot 33 via the spring 32, and the engagement between the moving member 7 and the second switch 28 is released. Along with this, the second switch 28 is switched from ON to OFF.
[0050]
When the moving member 7 further moves with the movement of the rack 31 and the engagement between the moving member 7 and the first switch 27 is released, the first switch 27 is turned ON from the OFF state. The motor 29 is stopped by the ON signal of the first switch 27. As a result, the gear mechanism 30 stops rotating, the rack 31 stops linear movement, and the moving member 7 and the card 1 stop moving via the spring 32. That is, the card 1 is transferred to a predetermined discharge position and the ejection is completed. FIG. 8 shows a form upon completion of this ejection.
[0051]
During this time, when the pin 9 of the first engaging member 8 of the moving member 7 slides on the cam groove of the first groove 25, the first engaging member 8 rotates in the opposite direction to the above, The first engagement member 8 is detached from the first recess 3 of the card 1. That is, the engagement is released. Similarly, when the pin 11 of the second engagement member 10 slides on the cam groove of the second groove 26, the second engagement member 10 rotates in the opposite direction to that described above, and this second engagement The member 8 is detached from the second recess 4 and the engagement is released.
[0052]
The form shown in FIG. 8 shows the ejection completion form as described above. This form coincides with the initial form when the card 1 shown in FIG. 3 is inserted.
[0053]
According to this embodiment configured as described above, when the card 1 is transferred, the first engagement member 8 is engaged with the first recess 3 formed on one side edge of the card 1 and the other side edge is engaged. Since the transfer is performed in a state where the second engaging member 10 is engaged with the formed second recess 4, a roller or the like for transfer is not required. Accordingly, a reduction in thickness can be realized. Further, since the transfer force is transmitted to both side edges of the card 1, there is little inclination during the transfer of the card 1, so that the card 1 does not contact the side wall of the chassis 16 forming the transfer path. The card 1 can be transferred. As a result, the resistance associated with the transfer of the card 1 can be kept small, so that the transfer by the motor 29 having a relatively small capacity can be realized, and the production cost can be reduced.
[0054]
Further, as the moving member 7 moves, the first engaging member 8 is rotated by sliding the pin 9 of the first engaging member 8 on the first groove 25 including the cam groove. By sliding the pin 11 of the engaging member 10 on the second groove 26 including the cam groove, the second engaging member 10 is rotated and engaged with the first recess 3 and the second recess 4 respectively. I'm trying to leave. Thus, the first and second engagement members 8 and 9 can be reliably engaged and disengaged from the first and second recesses 3 and 4, thereby contributing to the realization of stable transfer of the card 1.
[0055]
The first and second engaging members 8 and 9 are rotated by the combination of the first groove 25 and the pin 9 and the combination of the second groove 26 and the pin 11. The second grooves 25 and 26 and the pins 9 and 11 can have a simple structure. As a result, production costs can be reduced.
[0056]
In addition, the first concave portion 3 and the second concave portion 4 are provided at positions shifted from each other with respect to the card 1 transfer direction, and the first engaging member 8 and the second engaging member 10 are provided on the moving member 7. They are provided at positions shifted from each other with respect to the moving direction. Thereby, arrangement | positioning of the 1st, 2nd engagement members 8 and 10 is not unambiguous, ie, the position where the 1st, 2nd engagement members 8 and 10 respond | correspond in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving member 7. However, the degree of freedom for the layout design of the first and second engaging members can be ensured. Accordingly, it is possible to selectively secure a component arrangement space on the movement path of the first and second engagement members 8 and 10 accompanying the movement of the moving member 7, and to provide a specific component such as another switch in such an arrangement space. It is also possible.
[0057]
Moreover, when the 1st recessed part 3 of the card | curd 1 is located in the back | inner side of an apparatus and the 1st engaging member 8 is engaged with the 1st recessed part 3, the rotation fulcrum of the 1st engaging member 8 is formed. The shaft 12 is set in advance so as to be positioned between the insertion slot 33 of the card 1 and the first recess 3. Thereby, when the card 1 reaches the predetermined card mounting position shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, it is possible to prevent interference between the shaft 12 portion of the first engagement member 8 and the components located on the back side of the apparatus. 1 contributes to stable transfer.
[0058]
In particular, in the present embodiment, after the card 1 is drawn to the predetermined drawing position shown in FIG. 11A through the loading mechanism, the drive control means included in the calculation unit 40b of the control device 40 The motor 29 is driven in reverse, and the loading mechanism works to finely move the card 1 in the direction opposite to the drawing direction, that is, in the direction of the arrow 42 in FIG. That is, while the contact member 2 of the card 1 and the terminal member 6 of the connector 5 are maintained in contact with each other, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the fine movement distance L2 (= 0.5 mm) is returned from the retracted position. It is. Therefore, immediately before the card 1 reaches the retracted position shown in FIG. 11A, the contact member 2 of the card 1 and the terminal member 6 of the connector 5 rub against each other as shown in FIG. Even if a small amount of the shaving powder 41 is generated, the card 1 is removed by the movement of the card 1. That is, by the movement of the card 1 that is slightly returned, a considerable amount of the above-described minute amount of the shavings 41 is released in the return direction of the card 1 as shown by the arrow 43 in FIG. Fall. As described above, the present embodiment can reduce the amount of the shaving powder 41 interposed between the contact member 2 of the card 1 and the terminal member 6 of the connector 5 in repeated card mounting operations. Thereby, the contact failure with the contact member 2 of the card | curd 1 and the terminal member 6 of the connector 5 accompanying the shaving powder 41 can be prevented, and the high reliability as a card connection apparatus is acquired.
[0059]
Further, the reverse drive control of the motor 29 by the drive control means included in the calculation unit 40b of the control device 40 can be realized with high accuracy according to the signal of the second switch 28.
[0060]
Further, the return distance from the retracted position of the card 1, that is, the fine movement distance L2 (= 0.5 mm) of the card 1 can be set with reference to the stopper portion 5b provided on the wall portion 5a of the connector 5. The reverse drive of the motor 29 may be performed by the drive control means described above so as to correspond to the fine movement distance L2 (= 0.5 mm) set in this way. Thereby, the fine movement operation | movement of the card | curd 1 with high precision is realizable.
[0061]
【The invention's effect】
  As described above, the present invention is a repeated car.DeDuring the mounting operation, it is possible to reduce the amount of shaving powder interposed between the card contact member and the terminal member, and to prevent poor contact between the card contact member and the terminal member due to the shaving powder. Therefore, the reliability as a card connection device can be improved.Further, it is possible to realize a fine movement operation of the card with high accuracy.
