Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a breast shield and a breast pump which are convenient for electrode physiotherapy. Background Art
[0002] A breast pump is a tool used to extract breast milk accumulated in the breasts. It is especially suitable for mothers who want to breastfeed but still need to work. With the help of a breast pump, users can express breast milk in time at the workplace and take it home after get off work to feed the baby. This can not only relieve the discomfort caused by breast engorgement, but also increase milk production. Timely extraction of milk is conducive to the production of new milk.
[0003] When in use, the breast pump can be placed directly on the user's breasts, and then pressure is applied to suck out the breast milk and put it into the bottle. However, after long-term use of the breast pump, the user will experience breast pain, breast tension or breast fatigue, which is not conducive to blood circulation and milk secretion in the breast area, and is inconvenient for the user to use. On this basis, although manual massage or rubbing can be used to relieve the discomfort caused by pain, tension and fatigue, massage cannot be performed simultaneously during the suction process. After the suction is completed, the user is busy feeding the baby, storing lotion or cleaning utensils, and it is difficult to find time for massage to relieve the pain.
[0004] In view of the above shortcomings, we need to develop a breast shield and breast pump that are convenient for electrode therapy to meet the needs of the majority of users. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems that the existing breast milk pumping method cannot perform massage simultaneously during the pumping process and the user finds it difficult to find time to massage and soothe himself afterwards, the technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:
[0006] A breast shield for electrode therapy comprises a fitting structure for fitting the user's skin and a hollow through-channel structure. The fitting surface of the fitting structure is provided with an electrode sheet, and a side of the fitting structure away from the fitting surface is provided with a wiring terminal.
[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of the electrode sheets are arranged at intervals around the central axis of the bonding structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the side of the electrode sheet for contacting with the user's skin has a conductive soft adhesive layer, and the conductive soft adhesive layer has a conductive layer and a silicone layer.
[0009] Furthermore, the conductive layer and the silicone layer are an integrally formed structure, and the composite conductive material of the conductive layer includes one or a combination of multiple of gold, silver, copper or aluminum.
[0010] Furthermore, the conductive layer and the silicone layer are a layered covering structure, the silicone layer is located between the conductive layer and the bonding surface, and the conductive layer is made of one of gold, silver, copper or aluminum to form a conductive foil.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer contour of the conductive soft adhesive layer is circular or elliptical.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer contour of the conductive soft adhesive layer is fan-shaped or trapezoidal.
[0013] A breast pump comprises a main unit and a housing for mounting the main unit, wherein the breast shield is mounted on the housing, the connection terminal is electrically connected to a control terminal of the main unit, and the channel structure is connected to an air pump of the main unit.
[0014] Furthermore, the wiring terminal has a socket structure, and the host has a connecting plug, and the connecting plug is matched and connected with the socket structure, so that the wiring terminal is connected to the host.
[0015] Furthermore, the connecting plug and the socket structure are connected by magnetic attraction.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. The present invention arranges the electrode sheet on the fitting surface of the breast shield that fits the user's skin, so that the user can use the electrode sheet for electric stimulation massage therapy at the same time during the process of pumping breast milk to relieve the discomfort caused by the swelling, tension and fatigue caused by pumping breast milk. During the process of pumping breast milk, the two functions can be carried out simultaneously, and there is no need to spend extra time on massage, which saves the user's time, improves the efficiency of use, and improves the convenience of use for the user.
[0018] 2. The electrode sheet of the present invention can have a conductive soft rubber layer of different shapes. When the conductive soft rubber layer adopts a circular or elliptical outer contour, the massage area can be more concentrated, which is convenient for users to massage specific positions in a targeted manner. When the conductive soft rubber layer adopts a fan-shaped or trapezoidal outer contour, the area of the massage area can be increased, so that the user's skin can receive the massage effect more comprehensively within the range of the breast shield.
[0019] 3. The socket structure of the utility model can adopt magnetic connection. Compared with the existing plug-in connection structure, it can connect and disconnect the circuit more conveniently. It can be connected and used more easily before the user extracts breast milk. It is also convenient for the breast shield to be disassembled and washed, which is convenient for users to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 A breast shield for electrode therapy shown includes a fitting structure 100 for fitting to the user's skin and a hollow through-channel structure 200. The fitting surface 11 of the fitting structure 100 is provided with an electrode sheet 300, and a terminal 12 is provided on the side of the fitting structure 100 away from the fitting surface 11.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fitting structure 100 is the fitting surface structure of the breast shield 200 for contacting the user's breast skin. The fitting structure 100 is provided with an arc-shaped curved surface structure that is convenient for fitting the breast shape. The arc-shaped curved surface structure can produce elastic deformation under the action of the silicone material to adapt to the breast shape of different users. The channel structure 200 is the channel structure of the breast shield 200 for the milk to flow out. The channel structure 200 is provided with a hollow through-through milk passage. The milk passage is connected to the fitting structure 100 so that the milk expressed from the breast can flow out through the milk passage. The intersection of the fitting structure 100 and the milk passage adopts a rounded structure for a smooth transition, which is more comfortable for the user's skin and avoids the corners leaving boundary indentations on the skin.
[0035] More specifically, the fitting surface 11 of the fitting structure 100 is provided with an electrode sheet 300. The electrode sheet 300 is a patch structure of the breast shield used to perform electrical stimulation massage therapy on the user's skin. The electrode sheet 300 is connected to an external power supply through the terminal 12. The external power supply can be one of a power supply device, a battery or a power grid circuit. After power is turned on, the electrode sheet 300 performs local electrical stimulation massage on the user's breast skin. The contact between the conductive material and the skin allows the current to enter the body, thereby generating electrical stimulation to the muscles, nerves or tissues, which can relieve various discomforts such as swelling, soreness, tension and fatigue of the skin. On this basis, the user can use the two functions simultaneously during the process of pumping breast milk, without spending extra time on manual massage, saving user time, improving usage efficiency, and improving user convenience.
[0036] Example 2:
[0037] On the basis of Example 1, Figures 1 to 5 In the breast shield shown, which is convenient for electrode therapy, a plurality of electrode sheets 300 are arranged circumferentially and spaced apart around the central axis of the fitting structure 100.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to further balance the position of the electrode sheets 300 on the fitting surface 11, the electrode sheets 300 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the central axis of the fitting structure 100, so that the positions where the fitting surface 11 contacts the user's skin are evenly distributed with electrode sheets 300 of a certain area, thereby preventing the electrode sheets 300 from being concentrated in certain areas or omitting certain areas during electrical stimulation massage. Balancing the electrotherapy areas is conducive to the electrotherapy effect.
[0039] Example 3:
[0040] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The breast shield shown is convenient for electrode therapy. The side of the electrode sheet 300 for contacting the user's skin has a conductive soft rubber layer 3, and the conductive soft rubber layer 3 has a conductive layer 31 and a silicone layer 32.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conductive soft rubber layer 3 is the fitting rubber surface of the electrode sheet 300 for fitting to the user's skin. The electrode sheet 300 also includes an adhesive layer for fixing the conductive soft rubber layer 3 to the fitting surface 11. The conductive soft rubber layer 3 has a conductive layer 31 and a silicone layer 32. The conductive layer 31 is used to connect to an external power supply and contact the skin to implement electrical stimulation. The silicone layer 32 is used to softly fit the skin surface shape to adapt to skin positions of different shapes. The conductive layer 31 relies on the soft properties of the silicone layer 32 to change the surface shape, and can also rely on the ductility of the silicone layer 32 to protect itself from being easily torn and damaged. The silicone layer 32 relies on the good conductivity of the conductive layer 31 to implement electrical stimulation massage therapy. The combination of the two can provide an electrotherapy effect with a better experience.
[0042] Example 4:
[0043] On the basis of Example 3, Figures 1 to 6 In the breast shield shown, which is convenient for electrode therapy, the conductive layer 31 and the silicone layer 32 are integrally formed. The composite conductive material of the conductive layer 31 includes one or a combination of gold, silver, copper or aluminum.
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, since most of the existing electrode sheets on the market are layered structures, if the layers are not tightly bonded, it is easy for the electrode layer and the soft rubber layer to separate and fall off. The durability of the product used by users is insufficient, and users often have to repurchase and replace it, which increases capital expenditure and usage costs. The conductive layer 31 and the silicone layer 32 of this embodiment adopt an integrated molding structure. The conductive layer 31 is mixed with the silicone layer 32 in the form of filled conductive material, which is more solid and stable in structure, avoiding the layered structure from easily separating and falling off. The use of mixed injection molding in production is also easier to produce, and the control of the molding thickness can be more precise. Compared with the thickness of the layered structure, the thickness of the integrated molding structure can be made thinner, taking up less space in the breast shield, and more easily fitting the user's skin.
[0045] Example 5:
[0046] On the basis of Example 3, different from Example 4, Figures 1 to 5 as well as Figure 7 The breast shield shown is convenient for electrode therapy. The conductive layer 31 and the silicone layer 32 are layered covering structures. The silicone layer 32 is located between the conductive layer 31 and the fitting surface 11. The conductive layer 31 is made of one of gold, silver, copper or aluminum to form a conductive foil.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the existing electrode sheets on the market have an integrated structure, if the conductive material of the integrated structure is unevenly distributed in the soft rubber layer, it is easy to cause poor contact between the conductive material and the user's skin. The electrode sheets with poor contact will cause the electrotherapy massage to be intermittent when in use, which has a great impact on the effect of electrotherapy and is inconvenient for customers to use. The conductive layer 31 and the silicone layer 32 of this embodiment adopt a layered covering structure. The silicone layer 32 uses a rubber-coated structure to tightly connect the conductive layer 31, so that the conductive layer 31 covers the side of the silicone layer 32 away from the fitting structure 100 and will not fall off easily. The conductive layer 31 adopts a thinner sheet structure conductive foil. The conductive layer 31 is located on the side of the silicone layer 32 that fits the user's skin. The conductive layer 31 fully fits the user's skin with the thin sheet structure of the conductive foil, so that the contact between the conductive layer 31 and the user's skin is more complete. Compared with the electrode layer with an integrated structure, the layered covering structure can maintain a stable implementation process when implementing electrical stimulation massage therapy, avoid poor contact of the integrated structure, and facilitate user use.
[0048] Example 6:
[0049] On the basis of Example 2, Figures 1 to 3 In the breast shield shown, which is convenient for electrode therapy, the conductive soft rubber layer 3 has a circular or elliptical outline, which can better concentrate the massage area and facilitate the user to massage a specific position in a targeted manner. The circular or elliptical outline is relatively regular and easy to adjust, which is more convenient for the circumferential spacing layout during production. By controlling the size of the circular or elliptical outline area during design, the power consumption of the product can be effectively controlled to adapt to different external power supply amounts.
[0050] Example 7:
[0051] On the basis of Example 2, different from Example 6, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The breast shield shown is convenient for electrode therapy, and the conductive soft rubber layer 3 has a fan-shaped or trapezoidal outline, which can make full use of the contact area between the fitting surface 11 and the user's skin, so that the conductive soft rubber layer 3 can fully contact the user's skin, increase the area of the massage area, and enable the user's skin to receive the massage effect more comprehensively within the range of the breast shield. The fan-shaped or trapezoidal outline leaves a gap between each electrode sheet 300. Compared with the circular or elliptical outline, the fan-shaped or trapezoidal outline can reduce the empty area in the arrangement, and the electrotherapy effect is fully covered and the electrotherapy effect is more balanced.
[0052] Example 8:
[0053] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the breast shield with the electrode sheet 300 is applied to a breast pump, more specifically, as Figures 1 to 5 as well as Figure 11 The breast pump shown includes a main unit 400 and a housing 500 for mounting the main unit 400. A breast shield is mounted on the housing 500. The terminal 12 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the main unit 400. The channel structure 200 is connected to the air pump of the main unit 400.
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main unit 100 is a breast pump that is driven by a motor and extracts air from the breast shield 200 to achieve the function of negative pressure milk extraction. The housing 500 is the outer shell structure of the breast pump for mounting the main unit 400. The housing 500 includes a protective shell for protecting the main unit 400 and a milk storage shell for storing milk. The main unit 400 is fixed to the housing 500 and can be connected to the breast shield to extract air from the breast shield to achieve a negative pressure state. The main unit 400 includes a circuit board for controlling the device module, a battery for powering the device, an extraction pump for extracting air, and an air pipe for air communication.
[0055] More specifically, the electrode sheet 300 is electrically connected to the host 400 via the terminal 12. The host 400 can serve as a power supply to provide electrotherapy power to the electrode sheet 300. During use, the user can press the button of the host 400 to control the start and stop of the electrode sheet 300, or press the button of the host 400 to control the start and stop of the air pump to realize the functions of electrotherapy and extraction. During the process of extracting breast milk, the user can use the electrode sheet for electric stimulation massage therapy at the same time to relieve the discomfort caused by the swelling, tension and fatigue caused by extracting breast milk. During the process of extracting breast milk, the two functions can be carried out simultaneously without spending extra time on massage, saving user time, improving usage efficiency, and improving user convenience.
[0056] Example 9:
[0057] On the basis of Example 8, Figure 1 as well as Figures 8 to 11 In the breast pump shown, the connection terminal 12 has a socket structure 121 , and the host 400 has a connecting plug 41 . The connecting plug 41 is mated with the socket structure 121 , so that the connection terminal 12 is connected to the host 400 .
[0058] Specifically, in some embodiments, the socket structure 121 is an interface structure for the terminal 12 for the host 400 electrical connection structure to extend into, and the connecting plug 41 is a connector structure for the host 400 to connect to the terminal 12. More specifically, the socket structure 121 is a concave socket, and the connecting plug 41 is a convex connector. The connecting plug 41 is inserted into the socket structure 121 to stably connect the circuit between the host 400 and the electrode sheet 300. Among them, the electronic plug connector styles that can be used in this embodiment are as follows, such as Figure 8The connecting plug 41 shown is a cylindrical pin-type plug connector, such as a TRS plug, a TRRS plug, etc. Figure 10 The connecting plug 41 shown is a flat USB-type plug connector, such as one of the USB Type series, USB Micro series, USB mini series, etc. The use of these electronic plug connector styles can improve the reliability of stable connection. The universal connector style can effectively reduce procurement costs. The appropriate electronic plug connector style can be selected according to the function of the product.
[0059] Example 10:
[0060] On the basis of Example 9, the difference from Example 9 is that Figure 9 and Figure 11 In the breast pump shown, the connection plug 41 and the socket structure 121 are connected by magnetic attraction.
[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting plug 41 adopts a convex connector with a magnetic head structure, and the socket structure 121 adopts a concave interface with a magnetic port structure. When the two are connected, the circuit connection between the host 400 and the electrode sheet 300 is realized by utilizing the magnetic attraction principle of magnetic force. When in use, after the connecting plug 41 is brought close to the socket structure 121, the connecting plug 41 is sucked into the socket structure 121 by magnetic adsorption to complete the circuit plugging. Compared with the conventional plugging method, the magnetic connection does not require the connector to be aligned with the interface in a specific direction before insertion, and the connection can be completed with less force. When using a breast pump, it is usually not convenient for users to concentrate on aligning the interface for plugging. The magnetic connection can further simplify the user's connection method, improve the user's usage efficiency, and facilitate the user's disassembly and use.

However, they do not limit the implementation of the present invention to these examples. Any technical extension or reinvention based on the present invention is protected by the present invention.
