[0003] In the prior art, when a traditional breast pump is sucking milk, the driving method mostly adopts a vacuum pump to directly draw a vacuum to generate negative pressure or adopts a mechanical structure to drive the deformation of a flexible membrane to generate negative pressure, thereby generating suction to suck milk. However, the above two methods will generate a lot of noise during operation, which has a great impact on the user's mood and poor comfort. Therefore, it is urgent to invent a driving system to solve the problem of loud noise when the breast pump is working. Summary of the invention

[0008] The second magnetic member is arranged opposite to the first magnetic member, and the second magnetic member can alternately switch between the S pole and the N pole.
[0009] The present application provides a breast pump, comprising the above-mentioned magnetic drive system.
[0010] Beneficial effects: The present application changes the traditional milk-sucking mode of a vacuum pump plus a solenoid valve into an electromagnetic milk-sucking mode, and causes the flexible part to deform by alternating between the S pole and the N pole through the second magnetic part, thereby generating negative pressure for milk-sucking.

[0028] like Figure 1-9As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a breast pump that generates negative pressure by magnetic drive, including a horn cover 11, the horn cover 11 forms a receiving cavity 111, and the receiving cavity 111 can fit and at least partially receive the breast without gaps to form a closed cavity;
[0029] A flexible member 4, on which a first magnetic member 41 is disposed, and the flexible member 4 is at least partially connected to the closed cavity and forms a partial cavity wall of the closed cavity;
[0030] The second magnetic member 5 and the first magnetic member 41 are arranged opposite to the second magnetic member 5 . The second magnetic member 5 drives the first magnetic member 41 to move and drives the flexible member 4 to deform through magnetic force, so that negative pressure is generated in the closed cavity.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the speaker cover 11 can fit the user's breast, and when the user's breast fits the inner wall of the speaker cover 11, the closed cavity formed by the speaker cover 11 and the flexible member 4 is in a sealed state;
[0032] The first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 are arranged opposite to each other, and the positions of the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 can be relatively exchanged. It should be noted that the magnetic member here does not only refer to a component with magnetic force, but also any material that can be guided to move by magnetic force;
[0033] In other embodiments, the first magnetic member 41 includes but is not limited to a permanent magnet, and the shape of the first magnetic member 41 can be ring-shaped, block-shaped, or strip-shaped, and the second magnetic member 5 is an electromagnetic coil, and the shape of the second magnetic member 5 can be ring-shaped, block-shaped, or strip-shaped;
[0034] When working, first make the inner wall of the speaker cover 11 fit with the breast of the user, and then start the second magnetic piece 5, so that the second magnetic piece 5 generates magnetic force to drive the first magnetic piece 41 to move, that is, when the magnetic pole of the second magnetic piece 5 is different from the magnetic pole of the first magnetic piece 41, the first magnetic piece 41 and the second magnetic piece 5 generate magnetic attraction, under the action of the magnetic attraction, the flexible piece 4 will be driven to deform, at this time, negative pressure will be generated inside the closed cavity, at this time, with the speaker cover 11, pressure will be generated on the breast of the user to squeeze out breast milk; when the magnetic pole of the second magnetic piece 5 is the same as the magnetic pole of the first magnetic piece 41, the first magnetic piece 41 and the second magnetic piece 5 generate mutual repulsion, at this time, the flexible piece 4 will be driven to reset, and the negative pressure inside the sealed cavity disappears;
[0035] The present invention changes the traditional vacuum pump plus electromagnetic valve milk suction mode into an electromagnetic milk suction mode, which not only greatly reduces the weight of the breast pump and makes it easier to carry, but also eliminates the vacuum pump and the electromagnetic valve, eliminates the source of noise, greatly reduces the noise or even reaches "zero" noise, eliminates the impact on the mother's mood, and improves comfort;
[0036] In addition, the present application eliminates the vacuum pump, solenoid valve and other components and replaces them with magnetic suction, thereby reducing assembly components (vacuum pump, solenoid valve, sealing ring and other parts), and effectively reducing costs.
[0037] In one embodiment, at least one third magnetic member 45 is further disposed inside the flexible member 4 , and the third magnetic member 45 surrounds the periphery of the first magnetic member 41 .
[0038] In this embodiment, by adding a third magnetic member 45 embedded inside the flexible member 4, the magnetic property can be further improved, thereby achieving the effect of improving efficiency and reducing energy loss, wherein the third magnetic member 45 is a neodymium magnet;
[0039] The third magnetic member 45 is arranged in a ring shape. When the number of the third magnetic members 45 is two or more, the diameter of the third magnetic member 45 increases from the inside to the outside along the radius direction of the flexible member 4 .
[0040] In one embodiment, the sealed cavity is connected to a milk collecting component, and the milk collecting component is used to collect and store breast milk.
[0041] In this embodiment, any container that can collect and store breast milk can be regarded as a milk collecting component, such as a feeding bottle or a bowl-shaped container.
[0042] In one embodiment, the milk collecting component includes a milk collecting cover 12 , which together with the speaker cover 11 form a first shell 1 , wherein a milk collecting cavity 112 is provided inside the first shell 1 , and an end of the speaker cover 11 extends into the milk collecting cavity 112 .
[0043] In this embodiment, the connection between the speaker cover 11 and the breast collecting shield 12 is sealed. The breast collecting shield 12 is hemispherical and has a liquid outlet 127 at the opening edge thereof for pouring out breast milk after sucking.
[0044] In one embodiment, it further comprises a second shell 2, a second magnetic member 5 is fixed to the second shell 2, and the second magnetic member 5 can alternately switch between the S pole and the N pole.
[0045] In this embodiment, by making the second magnetic member 5 alternate between the S pole and the N pole, the flexible member 4 can be driven to achieve reciprocating movement of deformation and reset, effectively forming a stable "sucking" and "releasing" function, so that the breast pump can achieve a continuous and stable milk sucking process;
[0046] Specifically, taking the first magnetic member 41 as an S pole as an example, when the magnetic pole of the second magnetic member 5 is an N pole, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 generate a magnetic attraction force, causing the flexible member 4 to deform, and causing a negative pressure to be generated inside the sealed cavity, thereby achieving a milking operation; when the magnetic pole of the second magnetic member 5 is an S pole, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 generate a mutual repulsion force, pushing the flexible member 4 to reset, and the negative pressure inside the cavity disappears;
[0047] There is a delay in the conduction of negative pressure produced by the vacuum pump, and the efficiency can only be improved by relying on the original material rebound performance. The air in the shell and the flexible part 4 needs to be evacuated to generate the corresponding negative pressure on the human body. The use of magnetic suction can instantly change the direction of the magnetic field and the magnitude of the magnetic field strength. The mutual repulsive force can drive the flexible part 4 to reset quickly, which can reduce the delay and greatly improve the efficiency of milk suction.
[0048] In one embodiment, a connecting member 3 is further included, through which the speaker cover 11 and the flexible member 4 form a closed cavity, the interior of the connecting member 3 is a hollow structure, one end of the connecting member 3 is provided with an opening, and the closed end of the speaker cover 11 is connected to the open end of the connecting member 3.
[0049] In this embodiment, the connecting member 3 includes but is not limited to a three-way valve, and the connections between the horn cover 11, the flexible member 4 and the connecting member 3 are all detachable connections, and the connections are sealed.
[0050] In one embodiment, the connecting member 3 is also connected to the milk collecting component, and a one-way valve 8 is provided between the connecting member 3 and the milk collecting component.
[0051] In this embodiment, a one-way valve 8 is provided, so that when negative pressure is generated in the sealed cavity, the breast milk in the milk collecting component can be prevented from flowing back into the sealed cavity. The one-way valve 8 is a duckbill valve. Specifically, when negative pressure is generated in the sealed cavity, the air pressure inside the sealed cavity is lower than the external air pressure, which will cause the one-way valve 8 to deform and close. At the same time, after the one-way valve 8 is closed, gas leakage can be prevented, thereby increasing air tightness and improving the milk suction effect. When the negative pressure disappears, the one-way valve 8 will be restored to open, and the squeezed breast milk will flow from the one-way valve 8 into the breast collecting cover 12.
[0052] In one embodiment, the connecting member 3 is provided with a flexible member mounting structure 34 , the interior of the flexible member mounting structure 34 is communicated with the connecting member 3 , and the flexible member 4 is arranged in the flexible member mounting structure 34 .
[0053] In this embodiment, the flexible member mounting structure 34 is a suction bowl. The flexible member mounting structure 34 includes structures of different shapes, such as a circular, square or flat structure. As long as the flexible member 4 can be fixed, they are all included in the scope of the flexible member mounting structure 34 in this case. The edge of the flexible member 4 and the edge of the flexible member mounting structure 34 are sealed or interference connected, so that the inside of the flexible member mounting structure 34 is in a relatively sealed state. Optionally, the shape of the flexible member 4 matches the flexible member mounting structure 34.
[0054] An air hole 47 is provided at the bottom of the flexible member installation structure 34 , and the interior of the flexible member installation structure 34 is connected to the connecting member 3 through the air hole 47 .
[0055] In one embodiment, the flexible member mounting structure 34 and the flexible member 4 are in contact with each other.
[0056] In this embodiment, the flexible member mounting structure 34 and the flexible member 4 are arranged to fit each other so that there is no gap between the assembly portion 4a of the flexible member mounting structure 34 and the assembly portion 4a of the flexible member 4. When the breast milk is accidentally sucked into the assembly portion 4a of the flexible member mounting structure 34 during the milk pumping operation, the breast milk sucked into the assembly portion 4a of the flexible member mounting structure 34 will be discharged in time when the assembly portion 4a of the flexible member 4 rebounds, so that the breast milk will not remain in the assembly portion 4a of the flexible member mounting structure 34.
[0057] In one embodiment, a convex ring 122 is provided on the inner wall of the breast collecting shield 12, and the breast collecting shield 12 is connected to the flexible member mounting structure 34 through the convex ring 122. The convex ring 122 extends from the opening of the flexible member mounting structure 34 to the inside of the flexible member mounting structure 34, and the convex ring 122 and the flexible member mounting structure 34 clamp the flexible member 4.
[0058] In this embodiment, the shape of the convex ring 122 is consistent with the bowl shape of the flexible member mounting structure 34. One side of the convex ring 122 forms an assembly groove 123 with the inner wall of the bra 12. When the flexible member 4 and the flexible member mounting structure 34 are installed, the flexible member mounting structure 34 with the flexible member 4 installed is inserted into the assembly groove 123. At this time, the convex ring 122 is inserted into the flexible member mounting structure 34 to complete the assembly. At this time, the convex ring 122 also has a positioning function;
[0059] In addition, when the distance between the outer wall of the convex ring 122 and the inner wall of the flexible component mounting structure 34 is greater than the thickness of the flexible component 4, if the flexible component 4 is deformed, the convex ring 122 can enhance the connection strength between the flexible component 4 and the flexible component mounting structure 34 to prevent the sealing of the connection from being reduced due to the deformation of the flexible component 4. When the distance between the outer wall of the convex ring 122 and the inner wall of the flexible component mounting structure 34 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the flexible component 4, in addition to increasing the connection strength between the flexible component 4 and the flexible component mounting structure 34, the convex ring 122 and the flexible component mounting structure 34 will clamp the flexible component 4 to form an interference fit, so that the flexible component 4 fits tightly against the inner wall of the flexible component mounting structure 34, and the sealing effect can be further enhanced.
[0060] In one embodiment, a mounting portion 121 is provided on the breast collecting shield 12 , and the mounting portion 121 is configured as a card slot or a magnetic attraction structure.

[0063] In one embodiment, an air groove 125 is formed on the surface of the breast collecting shield 12 , and the air groove 125 is communicated with the through hole 124 .
[0064] In this embodiment, when the through hole 124 is provided on the mounting portion 121 , the interior of the breast collecting shield 12 can still be connected to the outside through the air groove 125 , so that the air pressure of the cavity formed by the breast collecting shield 12 and the flexible member 4 is consistent with the atmospheric pressure and is not affected by the second shell 2 .
[0065] In one embodiment, the second magnetic member 5 is controlled by a control mechanism, and the control mechanism is disposed in the second housing 2 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the power supply device 7 is a battery, and the number of batteries is one. In other embodiments, the number of batteries may be two or more. The power supply device 7 may supply power to the second magnetic member 5 and the control board 6.
[0069] Specifically, when the second magnetic member 5 is powered, the current will cause the second magnetic member 5 to generate a magnetic field, thereby generating magnetic poles. The direction and magnitude of the current can be controlled by the control board 6, thereby controlling the magnetic pole conversion of the second magnetic member 5 and the strength of the magnetic field.
[0070] More specifically, taking the first magnetic member 41 as an example with an S pole, when the current direction makes the magnetic pole of the second magnetic member 5 an N pole, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 generate a magnetic attraction force, so that a negative pressure is generated inside the sealed cavity, and the milking operation is realized; when the current direction makes the magnetic pole of the second magnetic member 5 an S pole, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 generate a mutual repulsion force, pushing the flexible member 4 to reset away from the second shell 2, and the negative pressure inside the cavity disappears;
[0071] Among them, by controlling the size of the current, and the current can be precisely controlled, the effect of precisely controlling the size of the magnetic field strength and the size of the suction force can be achieved, and finally the negative pressure can be adjusted to effectively improve the comfort level.

Optionally, the cross-section of the third magnetic component is arranged in an arc shape, so that the third magnetic component can be adapted to the trough 46 of the deformation portion 4b.
[0097] The molding process of the flexible film (i.e., the flexible member 4) assembly portion 4a is as follows:
[0098] First, an integrally formed flexible membrane assembly portion 4a is obtained by injection molding;
[0099] Then, the first magnetic component assembly part 4a and the third magnetic component assembly part 4a are embedded in the deformation part 4b assembly part 4a: the first magnetic component assembly part 4a and the third magnetic component assembly part 4a are formed at the suction bowl diaphragm by a beer-in-beer method. At this time, the neodymium alloy at the flexible membrane assembly part 4a does not generate magnetism. After the beer-in-beer forming is completed, the flexible membrane assembly part 4a (with the first magnetic component assembly part 4a and the third magnetic component assembly part 4a built in) is placed in a fixed position in the jig so that it cannot move freely, and the suction bowl diaphragm assembly (with the first magnetic component assembly part 4a and the third magnetic component assembly part 4a built in) placed in the jig is placed in a magnetizing machine for magnetization, and then the flexible membrane assembly part 4a of the present application is obtained;
[0100] The specific steps are as follows:
[0101] S1. Clean the oil and dust on the surface of neodymium alloy (not magnetized);
[0102] S2. Apply a treatment agent for bonding metal and silicone to the surface of the neodymium alloy, and then dry it according to the instructions of the treatment agent;
[0103] S3, after the processing is completed, put it into the mold to cover the silicone base;
[0104] S4, the base assembly of the beer set is cleaned to remove oil and dust on the surface;
[0105] S5. Apply the treatment agent and dry it according to the instructions of the treatment agent;
[0106] S6, placing the processed base assembly into the mold and fitting it with the flexible film again to form a semi-finished flexible film (with built-in neodymium alloy);
[0107] S7. Place the obtained semi-finished flexible film (built-in neodymium alloy) into a magnetizing fixture in order so that the semi-finished suction bowl (built-in neodymium alloy) will not move randomly during the magnetizing process, and then place it into a magnetizing machine for magnetization to obtain a magnetic flexible film.
[0108] In one embodiment, a protrusion 44 is provided on the flexible member 4 , and the protrusion 44 is located on a side wall of the assembly portion 4 a close to the deformation portion 4 b and away from the annular groove 43 .
[0109] In this embodiment, after the convex ring 122 and the suction bowl are assembled, the protrusion 44 and the side wall of the convex ring 122 can also form an interference fit to improve the sealing of the connection.
[0110] In one embodiment, the first magnetic member and the third magnetic member are both neodymium magnets.
[0111] In this embodiment, the neodymium magnet is obtained by magnetizing a neodymium alloy.
[0112] The present application provides a magnetic drive system, which is composed of the components in the above-mentioned embodiment of a breast pump that generates negative pressure by magnetic drive, including:
[0113] Flexible member 4;
[0114] Flexible member mounting structure 34;
[0115] The flexible member 4 is arranged on the flexible member mounting structure 34, and the connection between the flexible member 4 and the flexible member mounting structure 34 is sealed; the flexible member mounting structure 34 is provided with an air hole 47;
[0116] A first magnetic member 41, the first magnetic member 41 is arranged in the flexible member 4;
[0117] The second magnetic member 5 is arranged opposite to the first magnetic member 41 , and the second magnetic member 5 can alternately switch between the S pole and the N pole.
[0118] The present application changes the traditional milk suction mode of vacuum pump plus solenoid valve into an electromagnetic milk suction mode, and causes the flexible part to deform by alternating between the S pole and the N pole through the second magnetic part, thereby generating negative pressure for milk suction. The vacuum pump and the solenoid valve are eliminated, the source of noise is eliminated, the noise is greatly reduced or even reaches "zero" noise, the impact on the mother's mood is eliminated, and comfort is improved.
[0119] In one embodiment, the magnitude of the magnetic force between the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 (ie, the electromagnetic coil) can be calculated according to design requirements, and the specific method is as follows:
[0120] Pressure = pressure / force area, that is, P = F / S, F = P*S;
[0121] From the conversion of air pressure and force, we can know that 1pa = 1N / m2. In addition, 1 mmHg = 133.3223684 Pascals.
[0122] It can be seen that after calculating the area of the flexible member installation structure 34, the force required to pull the flexible member 4 of the flexible member installation structure 34 upward can be obtained by substituting it into the above formula.
[0123] According to Maxwell's electromagnetic attraction calculation formula,
[0124] Formula 1: Electromagnetic attraction F = B2*S / 2*μ 0 =φ2 / 2*μ 0 *S
[0125] Where: B is the magnetic induction intensity (T), S is the magnetic circuit cross-sectional area (m 2 ), φ is the magnetic flux passing through the cross section (Wb), μ 0 is the magnetic permeability of vacuum (4π*10^-7Wb / A·m).
[0126] Without considering the leakage magnetic loss and the connection air gap loss, only the deformation stroke of the flexible member installation structure 34 is considered as the main air gap. Then, the magnetic induction intensity B at the built-in magnetic component of the flexible member installation structure 34 is:
[0127] Formula 2: B = N*U*μ 0 / R*g=N*I*μ 0 / g
[0128] Wherein: N is the number of coil turns; I is the current intensity (A); U is the power supply voltage (V); R is the winding coil resistance (Ω); g is the air gap width (m) (i.e., the distance from the built-in magnetic component of the flexible component mounting structure 34 to the coil cross section).
[0129] Substituting formula 2 into formula 1, we get:
[0130] Formula 3: Electromagnetic attraction F = (N*I)2*μ 0 *S / 2*g2
[0131] Through the above design, the area of the first magnetic part 41 can be determined, and it is the same as the cross-sectional area S of the coil magnetic circuit. At the same time, the distance g from the first magnetic part 41 to the cross-section of the second magnetic part 5 can also be calculated, wherein the number of turns N and the coil current I can be used as debugging values, N*I is proportional to F, and making F greater than the upward pulling force of the flexible part 4 can meet the required negative pressure requirement.

[0133] S1. A speaker cover 11 is provided, so that the speaker cover 11 forms a first cavity, so that the first cavity can fit the breast without gap and at least partially accommodate the breast, forming a closed cavity;

[0135] S3. Set the second magnetic member 5, and set the second magnetic member 5 opposite to the first magnetic member 41. Use the second magnetic member 5 to control the movement of the first magnetic member 41, thereby driving the flexible member 4 to deform, so that the closed cavity forms a negative pressure to force the breast to secrete milk.
[0136] In this embodiment, by changing the traditional milk suction mode of vacuum pump plus solenoid valve into electromagnetic milk suction mode, not only the weight of the breast pump is greatly reduced, but also it is easier to carry. At the same time, the vacuum pump and the solenoid valve are cancelled, and the second magnetic member 5 is used to control the movement of the first magnetic member 41, thereby driving the flexible member 4 to deform, so that the closed cavity forms negative pressure to force the breast to secrete milk, eliminating the source of noise, greatly reducing the noise or even reaching "zero" noise, eliminating the impact on the mother's mood, and improving comfort.

[0144] The following steps are also included:
[0145] The second magnetic member 5 is fixed in the second shell 2 , and the second magnetic member 5 is connected to the control mechanism, and the control mechanism is arranged in the second shell 2 .
