1. A card reader with a protective mechanism, comprising:
an upper shell, an upper portion of a front end of the upper shell slantwise extending downward and rearward, and then being bent rearward to form an upper extending portion, a lower portion of the front end of the upper shell extending rearward to form a lower extending portion, the upper extending portion being spaced from the lower extending portion to form an inserting passageway between the upper extending portion and the lower extending portion, an outer portion of a rear end of the upper extending portion slantwise extending inward and rearward to form a first chamfer, an outer portion of a rear end of the lower extending portion slantwise extending inward and rearward to form a second chamfer, a bottom of the upper shell being opened freely;
a lower shell mounted to a bottom surface of the upper shell to form an accommodating space between the upper shell and the lower shell;
a protective mechanism disposed between the upper shell and the lower shell, and the protective mechanism being accommodated in the accommodating space, the protective mechanism having a protective shell and a dustproof sheet, the dustproof sheet being disposed in the protective shell, the dustproof sheet having an upper dustproof sheet, and a lower dustproof sheet located under the upper dustproof sheet, the protective shell having a top wall, a bottom wall and an isolating wall, the top wall being opposite to the bottom wall, the isolating wall being connected between two middles of two inner surfaces of the top wall and the bottom wall, the protective shell having an inserting slot penetrating through a middle of the isolating wall, a front surface and a rear surface of the protective shell along a longitudinal direction, the inserting slot transversely extending in the middle of the isolating wall, the inserting passageway of the upper shell being communicated with the inserting slot, a front end of the protective shell defining an inserting end penetrating through the front surface of the protective shell, a rear end of the protective shell defining an outlet end penetrating through the rear surface of the protective shell, the dustproof sheet being disposed in the outlet end, the rear ends of the upper extending portion and the lower extending portion being inserted into the inserting end of the protective shell, the upper extending portion abutting against an upper portion of an inner surface of the inserting end, the upper extending portion abutting against a front surface of the isolating wall and the inner surface of the top wall, the lower extending portion abutting against a lower portion of the inner surface of the inserting end, the lower extending portion abutting against the front surface of the isolating wall and the inner surface of the bottom wall, an inner portion of the front end of the protective shell slantwise extending inward and rearward to form a third chamfer, the third chamfer of the protective shell being corresponding to the first chamfer and the second chamfer of the upper shell; and
a circuit board assembly disposed between the upper shell and the lower shell, and the circuit board assembly being accommodated in the accommodating space, the protective mechanism being disposed to a front end of the circuit board assembly, the circuit board assembly having a clamping slot penetrating through a front of a middle of the circuit board assembly, the clamping slot being corresponding to the outlet end of the protective mechanism along the longitudinal direction, the clamping slot being corresponding to the inserting passageway and the inserting slot along the longitudinal direction;
wherein when a card is inserted into the inserting passageway and the inserting slot, the card abuts against the upper dustproof sheet and the lower dustproof sheet, the upper dustproof sheet is separated from the lower dustproof sheet to form an insertion space between the upper dustproof sheet and the lower dustproof sheet, the clamping slot is corresponding to the insertion space along the longitudinal direction, the clamping slot is communicated with the outlet end, the insertion space, the inserting slot and the inserting passageway.
