Abstract

A chip card ejecting mechanism includes a main body, a tray assembled in the main body and configured to receive a chip card, and a door. The door includes a rotating end rotatably mounted on the main body and a push pole protruding from the rotating end. A resisting portion is located on an end of the push pole away from the rotating end. When the door is opened and the rotating end is rotated relative to the main body, the resisting portion resists against the chip card and drives the chip card to move out from the main body.
