[0035] A luminous data cable comprises a connector body 1, a cable 2, a lead wire 3, a light guide block 4 and a plastic shell 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connector body 1 is a plug connector, such as a TYPE-C male connector. In actual design and production, the connector body 1 can be of other types, and is not limited thereto. The connector body 1 includes an insulating portion 11, a terminal group disposed on the insulating portion 11, and a shielding shell 12 wrapped around the outer periphery of the insulating portion 11; the shielding shell 12 includes an upper shielding shell 12 and a lower shielding shell 12 assembled from top to bottom, and a wire outlet groove is disposed on the insulating portion 11; the cable 2 is connected to the tail end of the connector body 1;

[0037] One end of the lead wire 3 is connected to the inside of the connector body 1, and the lead wire 3 extends from the tail end of the connector body 1 and then folds forward, so that the other end of the lead wire 3 is located on the outer surface of the shielding shell 12, and the other end of the lead wire 3 is connected to a circuit board 31, and an LED lamp 32 is arranged on the circuit board 31; specifically, the lead wire 3 is connected through the outlet groove, and extends to the outside of the tail end of the upper shielding shell 12 through the position between the insulating part 11 and the upper shell. And, the circuit board 31 can be a PCB board or an FPC board, preferably an FPC board, which is thinner and lighter, and the FPC board can also be bonded and fixed to the outer surface of the shielding shell 12.

[0038] The light guide block 4 is attached to the outer surface of the shielding shell 12, and an adhesive layer 41 is attached to the bottom surface of the light guide block 4, and is connected to the outer surface of the shielding shell 12 through the adhesive layer 41. The adhesive layer 41 includes a cushioning cushion body and adhesive formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the cushioning cushion body, and the cushioning cushion body is located between the bottom of the light guide block 4 and the top of the shielding shell 12. The setting of the adhesive layer 41, on the one hand, plays a connecting role, and on the other hand, enables the light guide block 4 to better protect the LED lamp 32. The surface of the light guide block 4 has a concave-convex light-emitting surface 42; specifically, the concave-convex light-emitting surface 42 refers to a plurality of circular recesses arranged at intervals on the horizontal top surface, for example, evenly distributed in the front, back, left and right, which is conducive to uniform light. Preferably, one end of the light guide block 4 is concavely provided with a concave cavity 43 toward the inside of the light guide block 4, and the concave cavity 43 passes through the bottom of the light guide block 4. The concave-convex light-emitting surface 42 is disposed on the top of the light guide block 4 and covers the top wall 431 of the cavity 43. The portion of the circuit board 31 used to carry the LED lamp 32 and the LED lamp 32 extend into the cavity 43 together.

The adhesive layer 41 is correspondingly in a concave shape, which matches the bottom surface of the light guide block 4. At the same time, the adhesive layer 41 can match and position with the shape of the circuit board 31. There is a gap between the LED lamp 32 and the top wall 431 and the side wall 432 of the concave cavity 43, and the light emitted by the LED lamp 32 is transmitted to the light guide block 4 through the top wall 431 and the side wall 432 of the concave cavity 43. Usually, the LED lamp 32 is mounted on the top surface of the circuit board 31.

The plastic shell 5 is a transparent plastic shell, which usually includes an upper shell 501 and a lower shell 502, and the upper shell 501 and the lower shell 502 can be fixed by ultrasonic welding. During production, a portion of the inner surface of the upper shell 501 is printed with ink to form a non-light-transmitting area, and the other portion is not printed with ink to form a light-transmitting area, and the light-transmitting area is located on the light-transmitting wall 51. The top surface of the light-transmitting wall 51 is formed with patterns, texts, etc. corresponding to the light-transmitting area, and the surface can be a flat surface or a concave-convex curved surface.

[0040] Next, we will introduce a process step of luminous data line:

[0041] Step 1, preparing a connector body 1 and a cable 2, wherein the cable 2 is connected to the rear end of the connector body 1, and a lead wire 3 is reserved from the rear end of the connector body 1;

[0042] Step 2, paste the FPC board on the top surface of the shielding shell 12, then align the light guide block 4 with the LED lamp 32 (that is, the concave cavity 43 covers the position of the LED lamp 32) and bond it to the top surface of the shielding shell 12; in actual operation, the adhesive layer 41 can be matched with the FPC board and bonded to the top surface of the shielding shell 12 respectively, and then the light guide block 4 can be bonded and fixed to the adhesive layer 41. As for the lead wire 3, it can be welded to the FPC board before or after bonding the FPC board, and there is no restriction.

[0043] Step 3, the upper shell and the lower shell are correspondingly covered on the upper and lower sides of the connector body 1, and the upper shell and the lower shell are fixed by ultrasonic welding, so that the upper shell and the lower shell cover the connector body 1, and the light-transmitting wall 51 of the upper shell is arranged opposite to the light guide block 4, so that the light emitted by the LED lamp 32 is transmitted to the light guide block 4 and emitted outward toward the light-transmitting wall 51 through the concave-convex light-emitting surface 42.

[0044] The design focus of the utility model is that it mainly sets the light guide block 4 and the LED lamp 32 on the outer surface of the shielding shell 12, without opening a light-transmitting hole on the shielding shell 12, ensuring good EMI effect and improving the problem of moisture entry, while not affecting the design and production of the original connector body 1. It only needs to set a light-transmitting wall 51 on the shell, and the light-transmitting wall 51 is set opposite to the concave-convex light-emitting surface 42 of the light guide block 4, so that the light emitted by the LED lamp 32 is transmitted to the light guide block 4 and emitted outward toward the light-transmitting wall 51 through the concave-convex light-emitting surface 42. In this way, it is easy to produce and assemble, and the light guide block 4, the LED lamp 32 and other parts are all located inside the plastic shell 5. The plastic shell 5 plays a good protective role on the internal parts such as the LED lamp 32 and the circuit board 31, has a good waterproof effect, does not enter dust and dirt, and has an ideal light effect, soft and not dazzling. In addition, the plastic shell is injection molded, which is easy to mold the surface shape of the light-transmitting wall, so as to form the required pattern or text or LOGO logo on the top surface.
