     The present invention relates to a transmission line, and more particularly to a transmission line with data storage function. 
     2. The Related Art 
     Nowadays, with the progress of society, various electrical equipments have become indispensable tools in people&#39;s daily life. People use a transmission line connected to power and electrical equipment for charging. Sometimes, people also use a transmission line to transfer data between a mobile device and a computer. Therefore, transmission line is widely used in people&#39;s daily life for such electrical equipments. 
     However, when a mobile device or a computer transfers data to flash disk, it is indispensible for people to use the transmission line to connect the mobile/computer with the flash disk to store the data. It is quite inconvenient for people&#39;s use. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a transmission line with data storage function. The transmission line with data storage function includes a cable, a memory module and a Micro USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector. The memory module and the Micro USB connector connect to two opposite ends of the cable respectively. The memory module includes a memory, a USB connector and a switch. The memory is assembled in the memory module for storing the data transferred by way of the cable. The USB connector and the switch are assembled on the memory module. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide a transmission line with both data storage function and portable structure thereof. The transmission line with data storage function and portable structure thereof includes a transmission line, a housing and a shell. The transmission line includes a cable, a memory module and a Micro USB connector. The memory module and the Micro USB connector connect to two opposite ends of the cable respectively. The memory module includes a memory for storing data, a USB connector and a switch for switching the operation status. The memory is assembled in the memory module for storing the data transferred by way of the cable. The USB connector and the switch are assembled on the memory module. The transmission line further includes a cover. The cover covers over the memory module. The housing includes a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls, which corporately define a receiving chamber. The center of the receiving chamber is defined as a partition, for connecting to the centers of the front wall, the rear wall and two side walls, which further divides the receiving chamber into a first receiving cavity above the partition and a second receiving cavity under the partition. The housing further includes a sling. The sling is fixed on the front wall of the housing. The shell has a front plate and a plurality of side plates protruded rearward from the edges of the front plate and connecting to one another. A substantial middle area of the front plate defines a through hole. The memory module is received in the first receiving cavity of the housing and the Micro USB connector is received in the second receiving cavity of the housing. The shell encloses the housing. The sling passes through the through hole and extending out of the front face of the front plate of the shell. 
     As described above, the transmission line with data storage function includes a memory for storing data and a switch for switching operation status between storage and transmission in the memory module, it makes sure the transmission line with the functions of both data storage and transmission.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT 
     Referring to the drawings in much detail, and first to  FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present invention is shown as a transmission line  100 . The transmission line includes a cable  10 , a memory module  20 , a Micro USB connector  30 , a cover  40 , a housing  50  and a shell  60 . 
     Refer to  FIG. 3 , the memory module  20  and the Micro USB connector  30  are connected to two opposite ends of the cable  10  respectively. The memory module  20  includes a memory (not labeled), a USB connector  21  and a switch  22 . The memory is assembled in the memory module  20  for storing the data transferred by way of the cable  10  and is made by virtue of COB (Chip On Board) process. The USB connector  21  and the switch  22  are assembled on the memory module  20  and are made by virtue of SMT (Surface Mount Technology) process. 
     The cover  40  covers over the memory module  20 , the USB connector  21  of the memory module  20  is extending out of the cover  40 . 
     Refer to  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4 , the housing  50  includes a front wall  51 , a rear wall  52  and two side walls  53  which corporately define a receiving chamber (not labeled). A partition  54  is defined at the center of the receiving chamber and connected to the center formed by the front wall  51 , the rear wall  52  and two side walls  53 . The partition  54  further divides the receiving chamber into a first receiving cavity  55  above the partition  54  and a second receiving cavity  56  under the partition  54 .
