detailed description

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The elements and features described in one drawing or embodiment of the invention may be combined with elements and features illustrated in one or more other figures or embodiments. It should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, representations and descriptions of components and processes that are not known to those of ordinary skill in the art are omitted in the drawings and the description.

As shown in FIG. 1-5, the data line having the illumination function in the present embodiment includes a cable and a plug. The plug includes a highlight 33 and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a path that controls whether the high light 33 is turned "on" or "off", and the path includes a switch that controls whether the path is turned "on" or "off". The highlight light can be, for example, an incandescent light emitting diode or a bright LED light.

Since the highlight on the data line of the present embodiment is provided, when the item is found in a dark environment, the data line can be illuminated by the mini flashlight without affecting other people who are resting. In particular, in the case where the charging device is not fully activated, the data cable can be used to conveniently find the charging device and connect the plug to the corresponding plug of the charging device without any problems.

Preferably, the plug may further include a transparent cover 11. A data line interface through hole 110 is disposed on the transparent cover 11. The data line interface via 110 allows the interface of the data line to extend beyond the transparent cover 11 for connection to other powered devices. The transparent cover 11 can scatter the light emitted by the highlight lamp 33. The material of the transparent cover 11 may be, for example, transparent plexiglass, acrylic, polystyrene plate or the like.

Preferably, the data line with illumination function may further include a power on indicator D2 and a charge indicator indicator D1. The control circuit may further include a path for controlling the power-on indicator D2 and the charge indicator lamp D1 to be turned on (see FIG. 5).

In one embodiment, the circuitry can be integrated into the form of a chip 32 and the chip 32 is secured to the PCB board 31.

When the data line is powered on, the power-on indicator D2 lights up, telling the user that the current data line is powered on. In the charging state, the charging indicator D1 lights up, telling the user that the device connected to the data line is charging.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the resistor R4 and the resistor R5 are divided to form a reference voltage of the "-" terminal of the comparator Q1, and R3 is a load. When there is no load or the load is close to zero, the output of Q1 is “high”, the power-on indicator D2 is brightened, and when the load is relatively large, the output of Q1 is “low”, and the charging indicator D1 is illuminated. When the switch SW1 is turned on, the highlight 33 lights up.

In one embodiment, the charge indicator light D1 and the power-on indicator light D2 may be two separate light-emitting devices having different brightness and/or color temperatures.

In another embodiment, the charging indicator light D1 and the power-on indicator light D2 may be sub-devices corresponding to different color temperatures integrated in the same light-emitting device. For example, D1 and D2 may be LED lamps of a red component and LED components of a blue component in the same LED device.

Further, in the third embodiment, the highlight 33, the charge indicator D1, and the power indicator D2 can all be integrated in the same light emitting device. For example, the light emitting device can be an RGB three color light. The charging indicator D1 may be a red light of the RGB three-color lamp, and the power-on indicator D2 may be a blue light therein. When the data line is energized, the blue light is turned on, and the other lights in the RGB three-color light are not turned on; when the data line is powered and connected to the charged device, the red light is turned on, and the other lights in the RGB three-color light are not connected. through. Only when the user presses the button 22 to turn on the switch SW1, three of the RGB three-color lamps are simultaneously illuminated. At this time, the RGB three-color lamp emits white light, thereby providing the user with a bright field of vision in a dark environment. .

Those skilled in the art should be familiar with the fact that when both the charging indicator D1 and the power-on indicator D2 are integrated in the same lighting device, or when the highlighting lamp 33, the charging indicator D1 and the power-on indicator are When the D2 is integrated in the same light-emitting device, the control circuit should be modified accordingly so that the corresponding component of the light-emitting device is turned on or off when the data line is in different working states.

Preferably, a housing 21 may be provided on the plug provided with the highlight, and the above-mentioned circuit is placed in the housing 21. A button 22 for controlling the opening and closing of the switch SW1 can also be provided on the housing 21. The button 22 can be, for example, a carbon film button, a pot button, a touch button, or a touch button. When the power is turned on, when the button 22 is pressed, the switch SW1 is turned on, and the highlight lamp 33 is turned on.

In an embodiment, the housing 21 can be snap-fitted to the transparent cover 11 .

Referring to FIG. 6, a structural view of a second embodiment of a data line having an illumination function according to the present invention is shown.

The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the mirror 41 is added.

The mirror 41 is disposed near the highlight 33, and the highlight 33 is located between the mirror 41 and the transparent cover 11. With this configuration, the light emitted from the highlight lamp 33 can be reflected by the mirror 41.

When the light emitted by the highlight lamp 33 is reflected by the mirror 41, the illumination range is larger, and when the user uses the data line in a dark environment, a brighter and clearer field of view can be obtained.

In the data lines having illumination functions of the above two embodiments, the data lines may be USB data lines. The plug can be a mini USB (ie micro USB) male. At the other end of the data line opposite the plug, a standard USB male connector can also be included. The standard USB male can be connected to a personal computer, for example, and the mini USB male can be connected to a charged device.

The data line with illumination function of the utility model can provide illumination in a dark environment, so that the user can quickly connect the data line to the device, which is simple and convenient to use.
