(11) Moreover, the inside of the accommodation space within the plug accommodation body 1 includes the plug front end assembly 3, the connection assembly 4 and the light emitting circuit assembly 5, wherein the plug front end assembly 3 includes a seat body 31 which is connectedly installed with a neutral blade 32 and a hot blade 33 or otherwise with the neutral blade 32, the hot blade 33 and a ground pin 34, and the neutral blade 32, the hot blade 33 and the ground pin 34 are electrically connected to the electric power cords 21 in the electric power line 2, respectively; besides that, one side of the seat body 31 has an accommodation recess 311.

(12) In addition, the connection assembly 4 can be fixedly locked to the plug front end assembly 3 through the locking element 6, and the connection assembly 4 includes a positioning part 41 which internally has a through hole 411 penetrating through the connection assembly 4; also, a positioning hole 412 commutatively connecting to the through hole 411 is further installed through the positioning part 41, and the front end of the light guiding line 22 can enter the through hole 411 such that the front end of the light guiding line 22 can be fixed within the through hole 411 by means of the stopper 221 installed at the front end of the light guiding line 22.

(13) Meanwhile, a fixing pillar 7 is disposed in the positioning hole 412 and presses upon the light guiding line 22 in the through hole 411 such that the front end of the light guiding line 22 can be fixedly positioned within the through hole 411.

(14) Furthermore, the light emitting circuit assembly 5 is installed inside the accommodation recess 311 of the seat body 31 and located between the plug front end assembly 3 and the connection assembly 4, in which the light emitting circuit assembly 5 is set up with at least a light emitting diode (LED) 51 which faces towards the light guiding line 22 in the through hole 411, and the light emitting circuit assembly 5 also includes at least two power supply cords 52 which are respectively connected in parallel to the electric power cords 21 in the electric power line 2 such that, when the electric power cords 21 in the electric power line 2 conduct electric power, the LED 51 of the light emitting circuit assembly 5 can become conductive and emit light.

(18) In comparison with other conventional technologies, the light emitting power line plug structure according to the present invention provides the following advantages:

(19) the present invention allows to bury a light guiding line in the electric power line so that, upon inserting the power plug into a power supply socket, the light guiding line can generate light, and such light generated by the light guiding line can travel through the electric power line thereby letting the user see an illuminating electric power line;

(20) in the present invention, the light emitting circuit and the light guiding line are both installed inside a conventional electric power line, so it does not need to significantly modify the structure of the electric power line to enable the electric power line to have the intended electric conductivity and illumination effects.
