The light-emitting element 51 is electrically connected to the data cable to emit light, and the photosensitive element 6 is used to receive the light emitted by the light-emitting element 51 and reflect the pattern on the transparent element 4.
[0027] In this embodiment, a light-emitting component is provided on the data line. When the data line is connected to a power source, the data line will supply power to multiple light-emitting elements 51 in the light-emitting component, so that the multiple light-emitting elements 51 emit light. The light-emitting elements 51 can play the role of illumination, thereby enabling the data line to emit light. In the dark, the data line in this embodiment can provide illumination.
[0028] Specifically, a photosensitive element 6 is disposed between the transparent element 4 and the light-emitting element 51. The photosensitive element 6 is printed with patterns, logos, or advertising slogans using PVC or PET printing. When the data cable is connected to a power source, the data cable will supply power to multiple light-emitting elements 51, and the light emitted by the multiple light-emitting elements 51 will illuminate the photosensitive element 6, thereby illuminating the patterns or advertising slogans on the photosensitive element 6. The transparent element 4 is disposed on the side of the photosensitive element 6 away from the light-emitting element 51. In this embodiment, the transparent element 4 is a transparent lens. When the photosensitive element 6 is illuminated, the pattern on the photosensitive element 6 will be visible through the transparent lens, allowing the user to view the high-definition pattern on the photosensitive element 6 like a display screen. Compared with existing data cables that print advertising slogans on the casing, this embodiment uses a light-emitting element to transmit the pattern on the photosensitive element 6, which has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and the pattern is not easily damaged.
[0029] Among them, the photosensitive element 6 is a light-transmitting advertising light sheet, so that the pattern printed on it can be transmitted under the illumination of the light-emitting element 51; the transparent element 4 is specifically a plastic transparent lens in this embodiment of the application, which protects the internal components of the first housing 1 and can also make the pattern on the internal photosensitive element 6 visible.

Specifically, the first housing 1 has a first through hole 12 and a second through hole 13 at its two ends. The connector 2 passes through the first through hole 12 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 5, while the cable 3 passes through the second through hole 13 and is electrically connected to the end of the circuit board 5 furthest from the connector 2. When the data cable is connected to a power source, the circuit board 5 supplies power to the multiple light-emitting elements 51, and the light emitted by the multiple light-emitting elements 51 illuminates the photosensitive element 6, thereby reflecting the patterns or advertising slogans on the photosensitive element 6 onto the transparent element 4.
[0033] Furthermore, the circuit board 5 is located near the photosensitive element 6, and multiple light-emitting elements 51 are electrically connected to the opposite sides of the circuit board 5, so that the multiple light-emitting elements 51 can emit light in opposite directions, and light-guiding material is injection molded on the opposite sides of each pair of light-emitting elements 51.

The second housing 7 is provided with a mounting groove 71 on the side near the transparent part 4 so that the photosensitive part 6 is fixedly disposed in the mounting groove 71 to prevent the photosensitive part 6 from shaking. The mounting groove 71 is provided with a second opening 72, the size of the second opening 72 being slightly smaller than the size of the mounting groove 71, so that when multiple light-emitting parts 51 irradiate the photosensitive part 6 through the second opening 72, the pattern on the photosensitive part 6 can be fully transmitted.
