In other embodiments, when the first connector 200 has the first slot 210 only at the upper side or the lower side thereof, the pressing rib may be provided only at the second housing 700 or only at the third housing 800. In other embodiments, when the conductive member 300 inserted in the first slot 210 is located at a side of the first slot 210 near the slot, and the conductive wire 110 inserted in the first slot 210 is located at a side of the first slot 210 near the slot bottom, the wire pressing rib may press the conductive member 300 located in the first slot 210, so that the conductive member 300 and the conductive wire 110 are in close contact, and the piercing portion 310 of the conductive member 300 pierces the insulating layer of the conductive wire 110. In other embodiments, the insulating layer inserted into the first end of the wire 110 in the first slot 210 may be removed (e.g., manually removed) to expose the conductor, the first end of the conductive member 300 may not be provided with the piercing portion 310, the first wire pressing rib 730 and the second wire pressing rib 830 may press against the conductive member 300 or the conductor in the first slot 210 to tightly contact the conductive member 300 and the conductor to form a conductive connection, and the pressing of the wire pressing rib against the conductive member 300 or the conductor may clamp the conductive member 300 and the conductor between the wire pressing rib and the first slot 210 to limit the wire 110 and the conductive member 300 from leaving the first slot 210.

Referring to fig. 8, when the insulating housing is in the opened state, the receiving space between the first, second and third housings 600, 700 and 800 is opened, the first and second wire pressing ribs 730 and 830 on the second and third housings 700 and 800 are separated from the first slot 210, and the first, second and third housings 600, 700 and 800 no longer limit the first, second and conductive members 200, 500 and 300 located therebetween, and the wire 110, the first, second, conductive members 200, 300 and the plug 400 at the first end of the cable 100 may be separated from the receiving space and separated from each other.

Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, and 8, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a first semi-cylindrical wire passing portion 740 is disposed on the second housing 700, and a second semi-cylindrical wire passing portion 840 is disposed on the third housing 800. When the insulating housing is in the closed state, the first wire passing portion 740 and the second wire passing portion 840 are attached, and a cylindrical wire passing channel is formed between the first wire passing portion 740 and the second wire passing portion 840, and the wire passing channel is communicated with the accommodating space for the cable 100 to pass through. Threads are provided on the outer sides of the first wire passing portion 740 and the second wire passing portion 840, and the data wire further includes a nut 900 matched with the threads. When the insulative housing is in the closed state, the nut 900 may engage the threads on the outside of the first wire passing portion 740 and the second wire passing portion 840, limiting the rotation of the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 relative to the first housing 600, maintaining the insulative housing in the closed state. When the nut 900 is rotated to be disengaged from the threads outside the first and second wire passing portions 740 and 840, the second and third housings 700 and 800 may be rotated with respect to the first housing 600, and at this time, the second and third housings 700 and 800 may be rotated to switch the insulating housing between the closed state and the open state.

In other embodiments, the data line may not include the nut 900, and accordingly, the outer sides of the first and second wire passing portions 740 and 840 may not be provided with threads, and a snap structure may be provided on the second and third housings 700 and 800, which may be configured to be switchable between a snap-fit state and a release state. When the insulating housing is in the closed state and the snap-fit structure is in the snap-fit state, the snap-fit structure restricts the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 from rotating relative to the first housing 600, so that the insulating housing is kept in the closed state. When the fastening structure is switched from the fastening state to the releasing state, the fastening structure no longer limits the rotation of the second housing 700 and the third housing 800, and at this time, the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 may be rotated to switch the insulating housing from the closed state to the open state.

In some embodiments, the snap structure may include a snap hole provided on the second housing 700 and a resilient snap hook provided on the third housing 800. When the insulating housing is in the closed state, the elastic hooks are buckled with the clamping holes, so that the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 are limited to rotate relative to the first housing 600, and the insulating housing is kept in the closed state. When the insulating housing is in the closed state, the elastic hook is shifted to disengage from the clamping hole, so that the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 can rotate relative to the first housing 600, and the insulating housing can be switched between the closed state and the open state. The snap structure is not limited to the elastic hook and the snap hole, and its specific form may be set by those skilled in the art according to need, as long as it can be switched between the locked state and the disengaged state, and it can keep the insulating housing in the closed state by rotating the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 relative to the first housing 600 in the locked state.

According to the data line of the present utility model, at the time of assembly, the second and third housings 700 and 800 may be first coupled to the first housing 600 such that the first and second rotating shaft portions 630 and 640 are positioned in the first and second shaft holes 710 and 720, respectively, and the third and fourth rotating shaft portions 650 and 660 are positioned in the third and fourth shaft holes 810 and 820, respectively. Then, the first end of the conductive member 300 is inserted into the first slot 210 of the first connector 200, and then the side of the first connector 200 facing the second connector 500 is attached to the second connector 500, so that the second end of the conductive member 300 is inserted into the second slot 510 of the second connector 500, and then the PCB 420 of the plug 400 is inserted into the third slot 520 of the second connector 500, so that the second end of the conductive member 300 is abutted against the PCB 420 to form a conductive connection. Then, when the insulating housing is in the open state, the second plugging portion 530 of the second connector 500 is inserted into the fourth slot 610 of the first housing 600 until the limiting portion 540 of the second connector 500 abuts against the first housing 600. The nut 900 is then sleeved on the cable 100, the first ends of the plurality of wires 110 in the cable 100 are respectively inserted into the corresponding first slots 210 according to the identification characters 220 on the first connecting piece 200, the second shell 700 and the third shell 800 are rotated, the insulating shells are switched from the open state to the closed state, the first wire pressing ribs 730 and the second wire pressing ribs 830 on the second shell 700 and the third shell 800 press the plurality of wires 110 in the plurality of first slots 210, the plurality of wires 110 move towards the piercing portions 310 of the plurality of conductive members 300, and the piercing portions 310 of the conductive members 300 pierce the insulating layers of the wires 110 and are in contact with the conductors in the wires 110, so that the plurality of conductive members 300 are respectively in conductive connection with the conductors in the plurality of wires 110. Finally, the nut 900 is engaged with the threads outside the first wire passing portion 740 and the second wire passing portion 840, so that the insulating housing is maintained in an engaged state. The assembly of the data line is thus completed.

When the cable 100 is damaged, the nut 900 may be turned to separate the nut 900 from the first wire passing portion 740 and the second wire passing portion 840, and then the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 may be turned to place the insulating housing in an open state, so that the first wire pressing ribs 730 and the second wire pressing ribs 830 on the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 no longer press the plurality of wires 110 located in the plurality of first slots 210. The first ends of the plurality of conductors 110 are then removed from the first slot 210, the damaged portion of the cable 100 is trimmed, and the plurality of conductors 110 at the location where the undamaged portion of the cable 100 was trimmed are reinserted into the first slot 210 of the first connector 200. Then, the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 are rotated to switch the insulating housing from the open state to the closed state, and the first wire pressing ribs 730 and the second wire pressing ribs 830 on the second housing 700 and the third housing 800 press the plurality of wires 110 located in the plurality of first slots 210, so that the plurality of wires 110 move towards the piercing portions 310 of the plurality of conductive members 300, and the piercing portions 310 of the conductive members 300 pierce the insulating layer of the wires 110 and contact the conductors in the wires 110, thereby respectively forming conductive connection between the plurality of conductive members 300 and the conductors in the plurality of wires 110. Finally, the nut 900 is engaged with the threads outside the first wire passing portion 740 and the second wire passing portion 840, so that the insulating housing is maintained in an engaged state. Therefore, the damaged data line can be quickly and conveniently repaired, the operation is simple, a new data line is not required to be replaced, the service time of the data line can be effectively prolonged, and the use cost of a user is reduced.
