9. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 8 , wherein the base further comprises two third ends substantially perpendicularly connected to the first end and the second end, a plurality of connecting portions perpendicularly positioned on the two third ends, the tray is secured above the circuit board by ends of the connecting portions away from the base being mounted on the circuit board, and the receiving space is formed by the circuit board, the base, and the plurality of the connecting portions.
10. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 8 , wherein a corner-edge piece of the base defines a cutout, the cutout communicates with the guiding groove and is configured to expose one portion of the chip card from the tray.
11. A chip card ejecting mechanism for removing a chip card, the chip card ejecting mechanism comprising: a main body comprising a bottom surface and a projection projecting from the bottom surface, the projection comprising a post protruding from a surface of the projection away from the bottom surface; a tray assembled in the main body and configured to receive the chip card; and a door comprising: a rotating end, one side of the rotating end defining a shaft hole, the rotating end rotatably mounted on the main body by the post rotatably engaging in the shaft hole; a push pole protruding from the rotating end; and a resisting portion located on an end of the push pole away from the rotating end; wherein the door is transitionable between: (i) a closed configuration in which the main body is covered by the door and the chip card is received in the tray; and (ii) an open configuration in which the door rotates relative to the main body to drive the resisting portion to resist against the chip card for removing the chip card out from the main body.
12. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the main body further comprises a peripheral wall extending perpendicularly from a periphery of the bottom surface, the peripheral wall defines an entrance forming two opposite sidewalls, the projection is projected from the bottom surface adjacent to one sidewall of the entrance, the door covers the entrance, and the chip card is received in and removed out from the tray through the entrance.
13. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 12 , wherein the door further comprise a shaft portion protruding from a side of the rotating end towards the entrance, the push pole is extended from an end of the shaft portion away from the door, the shaft hole is defined on the shaft portion.
14. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 12 , wherein the door further comprises a free end opposite to the rotating end and configured to rotate the door relative to the main body.
15. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 14 , wherein the main body further comprises a fixing portion perpendicularly mounted on the bottom surface adjacent to another sidewall of the entrance, a latching portion is positioned on the fixing portion and is configured to lock the free end when the door covers the entrance.
16. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 14 , further comprises a circuit board, the bottom surface and the peripheral wall cooperatively define a mounting space for receiving the circuit board, the circuit board comprises a plurality of connectors configured for electronically connecting the chip card, the tray is secured above the connectors, and the tray and the circuit board cooperatively define a receiving space aligned with the entrance to receive the chip card, the door further comprises a flange protruding between the rotating end and the free end to resist against the chip card when the door covers the entrance.
17. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 13 , wherein the tray comprises a base; the base comprises a first end, a second end opposite to and parallel to the first end, and a limiting plate perpendicularly extending from the second end; the first end is aligned with the entrance and the receiving space, and is further mounted between the projection and the fixing portion; and the base defines a guiding groove on the second end adjacent to the limiting plate and, when the rotating end is rotated relative to the main body, the resisting portion slides in the guiding groove and resists against the chip card.
18. The chip card ejecting mechanism of claim 17 , wherein the base further comprises two third ends substantially perpendicularly connected to the first end and the second end, a plurality of connecting portions perpendicularly positioned on the two third ends, the tray is secured above the circuit board by ends of the connecting portions away from the base being mounted on the circuit board, and the receiving space is formed by the circuit board, the base, and the plurality of the connecting portions.
