[0033] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0034] First embodiment
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The embodiment of the present invention provides a breast pump 100 for sucking out breast milk. The breast pump 100 can reasonably utilize the space above the bra 110, reduce the overall protruding length of the breast pump 100, reduce the occupied space, improve the portability, facilitate operation, and enhance the user experience.
[0036] The breast pump 100 comprises a bra 110, a breathing cup 130, a one-way air guide 140 and an air suction mechanism 150. The bra 110 comprises an integrally formed horn cover 114, a connecting tube 115 and an extension ring 116. The horn cover 114 is arranged at the opening of the connecting tube 115, and the extension ring 116 is arranged perpendicular to the upper end of the connecting tube 115 and is connected to the connecting tube 115, that is, the extension ring 116 is arranged perpendicularly outside the side wall of the connecting tube 115 and is connected to the connecting tube 115, the axial direction of the extension ring 116 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting tube 115, and the horn cover 114 and the connecting tube 115 are arranged coaxially. The breathing bowl 130 is arranged in the extension ring 116 at the upper end of the connecting tube 115, and the suction mechanism 150 is installed at the upper end of the extension ring 116. The suction mechanism 150 is used to extract air so that the breathing bowl 130 is elastically deformed under the action of negative pressure, and when the suction mechanism 150 stops working, the breathing bowl 130 will rebound and reset under the action of its own elastic force. The breathing bowl 130 is used to be elastically deformed under the suction force of the suction mechanism 150 so that negative pressure is formed in the bra 110 and milk is sucked out. The one-way flow guide 140 is arranged at the lower end of the connecting tube 115. The one-way flow guide 140 is used to allow milk to flow out, and the one-way flow guide 140 is also used to prevent milk or external air from flowing back. In this way, since the suction mechanism 150 is placed upward (the suction mechanism 150 is arranged above the bra 110), the space above the bra 110 is reasonably utilized, the overall protruding length of the breast pump 100 in the direction perpendicular to the user's chest is reduced, the space occupied by the breast pump 100 is reduced, the portability is increased, the operation is convenient, and the user experience is improved.
[0037] In this embodiment, the breathing cup 130 and the bra 110 are integrally formed to improve the overall strength and reduce the number of parts, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the breast pump 100 and facilitating assembly for milk pumping and disassembly and cleaning. The one-way air flow guide 140 is separately arranged from the bra 110, and the one-way air flow guide 140 is detachably installed at the bottom of the bra 110 so that it can be removed separately for cleaning or replacement.
[0038] Furthermore, the bra 110, the breathing cup 130 and the one-way flow guide 140 are all made of a silicone material, which has a certain elasticity, can realize the milk-sucking function, and is comfortable. In other embodiments, the bra 110, the breathing cup 130 and the one-way flow guide 140 can also be made of other flexible materials.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the breathing cup 130 and the bra 110 can be separately provided, and the one-way flow guide 140 and the bra 110 can be integrally formed; the breathing cup 130, the bra 110 and the one-way flow guide 140 can also be integrally formed; the breathing cup 130, the bra 110 and the one-way flow guide 140 can also be separately provided; there is no specific limitation on the connection method of the breathing cup 130, the bra 110 and the one-way flow guide 140.
[0040] Furthermore, the one-way flow guide 140 is a one-way valve. In other embodiments of the present invention, the one-way flow guide 140 may also be a one-way valve or other structure with one-way transmission capability, and the specific structure type is not limited.
[0041] The air suction mechanism 150 includes a housing 151 and an air pump 152, a controller 153 and a solenoid valve 154 installed in the housing 151. The housing 151, the extension ring 116 and the breathing bowl 130 together form a breathing cavity 160. The housing 151 is provided with an air suction port 155 and an air inlet 156, and the air suction port 155 and the air inlet 156 are both connected to the breathing cavity 160. The controller 153 is electrically connected to the air pump 152 and the solenoid valve 154 at the same time, and the controller 153 is used to control the air pump 152 and the solenoid valve 154 to start or pause. Specifically, the air pump 152 is connected to the air suction port 155 through an air pipe, and the air pump 152 is used to draw the air in the breathing cavity 160 into the outer shell 151 to achieve the negative pressure milk suction function; the solenoid valve 154 is connected to the air inlet 156, and the solenoid valve 154 is used to open or close the air inlet 156 to ensure the reliability of negative pressure milk suction and facilitate the control of the rebound of the breathing bowl 130.
[0042] Furthermore, during the milk pumping process, the controller 153 controls the air pump 152 to pump air, and controls the solenoid valve 154 to close the air inlet 156. At this time, the air pump 152 pumps the air in the breathing cavity 160 into the outer shell 151 to increase the air pressure in the outer shell 151, and the air in the outer shell 151 cannot enter the breathing cavity 160 through the air inlet 156, so that a negative pressure is formed in the breathing cavity 160, so that the breathing bowl 130 is elastically deformed upward; and during the resetting process, the controller 153 controls the air pump 152 to pause, and controls the solenoid valve 154 to open the air inlet 156. At this time, the air in the outer shell 151 enters the breathing cavity 160 through the air inlet 156 under the action of the pressure difference, and the breathing bowl 130 rebounds and resets under the action of its own elastic force.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, the suction mechanism 150 further includes a battery 157, which is installed in the housing 151 and is electrically connected to the controller 153, the solenoid valve 154 and the air pump 152. The battery 157 is used to supply power to the controller 153, the solenoid valve 154 and the air pump 152. Furthermore, a charging port 158 is sealed on the housing 151, and the charging port 158 is electrically connected to the battery 157. The user can charge the battery 157 through the charging port 158 to achieve the reuse of the breast pump 100.
[0044] In an optional embodiment, the housing 151 includes a bottom plate 1511 and a top cover 1512. The top cover 1512 is disposed on the bottom plate 1511, and the top cover 1512 and the bottom plate 1511 are sealed and connected by ultrasonic welding, bonding, hot-melt connection, etc. The air pump 152, the controller 153, the solenoid valve 154 and the battery 157 are all disposed between the bottom plate 1511 and the top cover 1512, the air suction port 155 and the air inlet 156 are both opened on the bottom plate 1511, and the bottom plate 1511, the bra 110 and the breathing bowl 130 together form a breathing cavity 160.
[0045] Preferably, the air inhalation mechanism 150 further includes a pressure ring 170. The pressure ring 170 is sandwiched between the outer shell 151 and the extension ring 116, and the pressure ring 170 is used to seal the gap between the outer shell 151 and the extension ring 116, thereby improving the airtightness of the breathing cavity 160. Specifically, the pressure ring 170 and the bottom plate 1511 of the outer shell 151 are sealed and connected by ultrasonic welding, bonding, hot melt connection, etc., to improve the sealing performance.
[0046] In an optional embodiment, the pressure ring 170 includes a supporting portion 171, a first extension portion 172, a connecting portion 173, and a second extension portion 174. The first extension portion 172 and the second extension portion 174 are arranged at two ends of the connecting portion 173, and the first extension portion 172, the connecting portion 173, and the second extension portion 174 together form a matching groove 175. The extension ring 116 cooperates with the matching groove 175 to define the relative position of the bra 110 and the pressure ring 170, so as to prevent the bra 110 from accidentally detaching from the pressure ring 170. Further, the first extension portion 172 is sealedly connected to the extension ring 116 to seal the gap between the first extension portion 172 and the bra 110; the supporting portion 171 is connected to the side of the connecting portion 173 away from the second extension portion 174, and the supporting portion 171 is sealedly connected to the outer shell 151 to seal the gap between the supporting portion 171 and the outer shell 151.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the extension ring 116 is provided with a first boss 111, and the first extension portion 172 is provided with a first annular groove 176. The first boss 111 cooperates with the first annular groove 176 to seal the gap between the first extension portion 172 and the extension ring 116, thereby preventing air leakage and ensuring the airtightness of the breathing cavity 160. In addition, the cooperation between the first boss 111 and the first annular groove 176 can also play a limiting role, thereby fixing the relative position of the bra 110 and the pressure ring 170, thereby preventing the bra 110 from accidentally detaching from the pressure ring 170.
[0048] In an optional embodiment, the abutting portion 171 is provided with a second boss 177, and the housing 151 is provided with a second annular groove 159. The second boss 177 cooperates with the second annular groove 159 to seal the gap between the abutting portion 171 and the housing 151, prevent air leakage, and ensure the airtightness of the breathing cavity 160. In addition, the cooperation between the second boss 177 and the second annular groove 159 can also play a limiting role, so as to fix the relative position of the housing 151 and the pressure ring 170, and prevent the pressure ring 170 from accidentally detaching from the housing 151.
[0049] In some embodiments, a liner 120 adapted to the bra 110 is further provided. Specifically, the liner 120 is installed in the bra 110, and is disposed between the breathing cup 130 and the one-way flow guide 140, and is communicated with the one-way flow guide 140. The liner 120 is used to fit the breast and allow the nipple to extend therein, and the breathing cup 130 is used to elastically deform upward under the suction force of the suction mechanism 150, so that negative pressure is formed in the liner 120 and milk is sucked out.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, the liner 120 includes a milking barrel 121 and a flared cup 122. The flared cup 122 is trumpet-shaped and is disposed at the opening of the milking barrel 121. The flared cup 122 is used to fit the breast, and the milking barrel 121 is used for the nipple to be inserted. The milking barrel 121 is provided with a vent hole 123 on one side in the radial direction and a milk leakage hole 124 on the other side. In this embodiment, the vent hole 123 is disposed at the top of the milking barrel 121, and the milk leakage hole 124 is disposed at the bottom of the milking barrel 121. Specifically, the breathing cup 130 is isolated between the breathing cavity 160 and the vent hole 123. During the upward deformation process, the breathing cup 130 will suck out the air in the milk pump 121 through the vent hole 123, thereby realizing the negative pressure milk suction function; the milk leakage hole 124 is connected to the one-way flow guide 140, and the milk sucked out by negative pressure can flow out of the milk pump 121 through the milk leakage hole 124, and flow out of the bra 110 through the one-way flow guide 140.
[0051] Furthermore, the milk pump 121, the breathing cup 130 and the bra 110 together form a front cavity 180, the breathing cup 130 is isolated between the breathing cavity 160 and the front cavity 180, and the vent 123 is connected to the front cavity 180. The front cavity 180 can quickly form a negative pressure in the breathing cup 130 during the deformation process, thereby improving the milk suction efficiency. When the breathing cup 130 is elastically deformed upward under the suction force of the suction mechanism 150, the volume of the front cavity 180 increases and forms a negative pressure, so that the air in the milk pump 121 is sucked out through the vent 123, thereby forming a negative pressure in the milk pump 121, and then sucking out the milk.
[0052] In an optional embodiment, a non-return buckle 125 is provided at one end of the breast pump 121 close to the flared cup 122. The non-return buckle 125 is provided on the inner wall of the breast pump 121. The non-return buckle 125 is annular in shape. The non-return buckle 125 is used to surround the nipple and always keep in contact with the breast during use to prevent milk from flowing back outwards, thereby improving user experience.
[0053] Preferably, the outer wall of the milking cylinder 121 is provided with a sealing boss 126, and the connecting cylinder 115 is provided with a sealing groove 112, which is annular, and the sealing boss 126 cooperates with the sealing groove 112 to seal the gap between the milking cylinder 121 and the connecting cylinder 115 to prevent air leakage and ensure the airtightness of the front cavity 180. In addition, the sealing boss 126 cooperates with the sealing groove 112 to play a limiting role, so as to fix the relative position of the bra 110 and the liner 120, and prevent the liner 120 from accidentally detaching from the bra 110.
[0054] Preferably, the flared cup 122 is provided with a limiting boss 127, and the horn cover 114 is provided with a positioning groove 113, and the limiting boss 127 cooperates with the positioning groove 113 to further limit the relative position of the bra 110 and the liner 120 to prevent the liner 120 from rotating relative to the bra 110.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, the liner 120 includes a liner frame 128 and a liner body 129. The liner body 129 is partially embedded in the liner frame 128, and the liner frame 128 is used to support and position the liner body 129 to increase the structural strength of the entire liner 120 and prevent the liner 120 from being deformed by negative pressure during milk suction.
[0056] Specifically, during the operation of the breast pump 100, the breast pump 100 is first put on so that the bra 110 and the liner 120 are both fitted to the breast (the liner 120 is placed on the areola), and the nipple is inserted into the liner 120; then, the suction mechanism 150 is started to extract the air in the breathing cavity 160, so that a negative pressure is formed in the breathing cavity 160, so that the breathing cup 130 is elastically deformed upward. At this time, since the liner 120 is closely fitted to the breast, a negative pressure is formed in the liner 120, so that milk is sucked out, and the milk flows downward under the action of gravity. And it flows out through the one-way flow guide 140 (generally, an external feeding bottle is used to collect milk under the one-way flow guide 140), so that milk can be sucked out. In this process, due to the effect of the one-way flow guide 140, milk or external air will not flow back, thereby ensuring the reliability of milk sucking. When one suction is completed, the suction mechanism 150 is paused, and the breathing cup 130 will rebound and reset under the action of its own elastic force, and suck the external air into the breathing cavity 160, while the air in the liner 120 will also return to normal pressure, and no more milk will be sucked out. This cycle is repeated until the milk sucking operation is completed.
[0057] The breast pump 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises a bra 110 including an integrally formed horn cover 114, a connecting tube 115 and an extension ring 116, the horn cover 114 is arranged at the opening of the connecting tube 115, the extension ring 116 is arranged perpendicular to the upper end of the connecting tube 115 and is connected with the connecting tube 115, the breathing cup 130 is arranged in the extension ring 116 at the upper end of the connecting tube 115, the suction mechanism 150 is installed at the upper end of the extension ring 116, the breathing cup 130 is used to be elastically deformed under the suction force of the suction mechanism 150, so that negative pressure is formed in the bra 110 and milk is sucked out, and the one-way flow guide 140 is arranged at the lower end of the connecting tube 115, and the one-way flow guide 140 is used to allow milk to flow out. Compared with the prior art, the breast pump 100 provided by the present invention can reasonably utilize the space above the bra 110, reduce the overall protruding length of the breast pump 100, reduce the occupied space, improve the degree of portability, facilitate operation, and enhance user experience.

[0060] In this embodiment, the airbag 190 is arranged in the breathing cavity 160, and is connected to the bottom plate 1511 of the housing 151, and is communicated with the air suction port 155 and the air inlet 156 at the same time. Part of the airbag 190 is arranged in close contact with the breathing bowl 130, and the airbag 190 is used to drive the breathing bowl 130 to undergo elastic deformation. In this way, since the airbag 190 completely shields the air suction port 155 and the air inlet 156, the air suction mechanism 150 can be washed with water after being removed, without worrying about water entering the housing 151 through the air suction port 155 and the air inlet 156 to damage the electrical components (air pump 152, controller 153 and solenoid valve 154), which is highly safe and easy to clean.
[0061] Specifically, during the milk pumping process, the controller 153 controls the air pump 152 to pump air, and controls the solenoid valve 154 to close the air inlet 156. At this time, the air pump 152 pumps the air in the airbag 190 into the shell 151 to increase the air pressure in the shell 151, while the air in the shell 151 cannot enter the airbag 190 through the air inlet 156, so that a negative pressure is formed in the airbag 190, thereby causing the airbag 190 to shrink and deform. In this process, since there is a closed cavity between the airbag 190 and the breathing bowl 130, the airbag 190 will synchronously drive the breathing bowl 130 to elastically deform upward during the shrinkage and deformation process; and in the resetting process, the controller 153 controls the air pump 152 to pause, and controls the solenoid valve 154 to open the air inlet 156. At this time, the air in the shell 151 enters the airbag 190 through the air inlet 156 under the action of the pressure difference, and the airbag 190 rebounds and resets under the action of its own elastic force, thereby driving the breathing bowl 130 to rebound and reset downward.
[0062] In an optional embodiment, the airbag 190 includes an integrally formed mounting portion 191, a bellows portion 192, and a bladder portion 193. The mounting portion 191 and the bladder portion 193 are relatively arranged at the two ends of the bellows portion 192, and the mounting portion 191 is sandwiched between the bottom plate 1511 and the pressure ring 170. The bottom plate 1511 and the pressure ring 170 work together to fix the position of the mounting portion 191 to prevent the mounting portion 191 from accidentally detaching from the bottom plate 1511. The bladder portion 193 is arranged in close contact with the breathing bowl 130, and the bladder portion 193 is used to drive the breathing bowl 130 to deform.
[0063] Preferably, the mounting portion 191 is provided with a limiting groove 194, and the bottom plate 1511 of the outer shell 151 is provided with a limiting column 1513, and the limiting column 1513 cooperates with the limiting groove 194 to limit the relative position of the mounting portion 191 and the bottom plate 1511, thereby fixing the relative position of the airbag 190 and the outer shell 151 and preventing the airbag 190 from rotating relative to the outer shell 151.
[0064] In this embodiment, the number of the limiting grooves 194 and the limiting columns 1513 are both four. The four limiting grooves 194 are arranged in a circular array on the mounting portion 191. Each limiting groove 194 cooperates with a limiting column 1513 to further improve the limiting effect.
[0065] In an optional embodiment, the number of the limiting grooves 194 and the number of the limiting columns 1513 may both be two, or both be three, and the number of the limiting grooves 194 and the number of the limiting columns 1513 are not specifically limited.

In addition, the breast pump 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can also achieve full body water washing of the suction mechanism 150 without causing damage to the suction mechanism 150, which is convenient and practical, highly safe, and provides a good user experience.
[0067] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
