A plurality of massage units 220 are respectively slidably arranged on the rotating unit 210 toward the axis of the breast. The spacing control unit 300 is arranged on the rotating unit 210. The spacing control unit 300 is used to control the spacing of different massage units 220.

[0043] Specifically, the plurality of massage units 220 are respectively slidably arranged toward the rotation center of the rotating unit 210. When the interval between the plurality of massage units 220 remains unchanged, the rotating unit 210 is driven by the driving unit to rotate, and at this time, the plurality of massage units 220 can perform circular massage on the milk blocking area to stimulate lactation;

[0044] When the plurality of massage units 220 are driven by the spacing control unit 300 to change the spacing, the rotation unit 210 is driven by the driving unit to rotate, and at this time, the plurality of massage units 220 can perform spiral circular massage on the milk blocking area to stimulate lactation;

[0045] When the rotating unit 210 does not rotate, the plurality of massage units 220 are driven by the spacing control unit 300 to change their spacing, and the plurality of massage units 220 can move toward or away from the axis of the breast, thereby achieving operations of pushing the massage toward the nipple, pushing the lump away from the nipple to unclog the milk duct, and squeezing the areola to squeeze out milk. Compared with existing breast massagers, it can imitate more "techniques" of a breast therapist, and can replace a breast therapist when it is inconvenient for the breast therapist to come to the home.

[0051] Specifically, the working principle of the temperature adjustment unit can be compression cooling and heating or semiconductor cooling and heating, preferably semiconductor cooling and heating, which is small and quiet. The breast-feeding device has cooling and heating functions, and there is no need for manual heating and cooling. Breastfeeding mothers choose the product mode according to their own situation. The product adjusts whether to cool or heat according to the currently selected mode. For example: in breast-feeding mode, apply hot compress on the breast and then massage slowly; in milk blocking mode, apply cold compress on the blocked area and then massage slowly.

[0052] Preferably, it also includes electrode sheets, which can perform electric current massage on the breasts.

[0053] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in , the breast ventilator further includes: a housing 400, the housing 400 is columnar, a receiving groove 410 is provided on a plane of the housing 400, the simulated palm 100, the massage module 200 and the breast are all located in the receiving groove 410, and the user's privacy can be protected during actual use;

[0056] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown in , the breast opener further includes: a camera positioning unit 430, and the camera positioning unit 430 is used to identify the position of the preset mark to determine the position of the milk blocking area.

[0057] Specifically, the camera positioning unit 430 is preferably a dual-camera positioning unit 430. In actual use, after applying lotion or oil, the user can make an x ​​or o mark (preset mark) at the hard lump, and the dual cameras can be used to identify the position of the mark, take photos to identify the nipple and areola and the blocked area, and complete the subsequent massage action. This technology is an existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown in , the massage unit 220 includes: a filling slider 221;

[0059] The massage head 222 includes: a connecting portion 2221, the connecting portion 2221 is slidably disposed on the rotating unit 210, and a temporary storage cavity is provided in the massage head 222;

[0060] The contact portion 2222 is arranged at one end of the connecting portion 2221 away from the rotating unit 210, and the outer surface of the contact portion 2222 is in contact with the milk blocking area. The contact portion 2222 has a filling cavity, and the temporary storage cavity is connected to the filling cavity. The filling slider 221 is slidably arranged in the temporary storage cavity and the filling cavity. The filling slider 221 is driven to move into the filling cavity to enhance the anti-deformation ability of the contact portion 2222.

[0061] Specifically, the contact portion 2222 can be made of a soft material such as silicone, and the filling slider 221 is supported by a material with greater hardness such as metal or plastic. Since the contact portion 2222 is provided with a filling cavity, it is a hollow structure, so the contact portion 2222 has a weaker anti-deformation ability, and the stimulation to the user during massage is small. The anti-deformation ability of the contact portion 2222 can be enhanced by moving all or part of the filling slider 221 into the filling cavity, and the stimulation to the user during massage is large. The user can make adjustments according to their own situation.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown in , the temporary storage cavity and the filling cavity are parallel to the axis of the breast;

[0063] The massage unit 220 further includes: an electromagnet 310, which is connected to the simulated palm part 100;

[0065] Specifically, a pressure sensor is also included. The pressure sensor is arranged at the position where the filling slider 221 or the contact part 2222 contacts the user to detect the force of the massage.

[0066] The device further comprises a spring, which drives the filling slider 221 to move into the filling cavity or the temporary storage cavity to reduce the power consumption of the electromagnet 310 .

[0067] In one embodiment, the temporary storage cavity and the filling cavity are perpendicular to the axis of the breast. Compared with the temporary storage cavity and the filling cavity being parallel to the axis of the breast, the filling slider 221 is subjected to less force toward the temporary storage cavity during the massage process, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the electromagnet 310.

[0068] In one embodiment, the spacing control unit 300 is a screw module.

[0069] A control method of the above breast-opening device comprises the following steps: positioning the breast by using the simulated palm part 100;

[0070] Putting a plurality of massage units 220 in contact with the milk blocking area;

[0071] The plurality of massage units 220 are driven to move on the milk blocking area by the rotation unit 210 and the spacing control unit 300 to complete the actions of massaging around the nipple, massaging toward or away from the nipple, and squeezing the nipple.

[0072] In summary, the present application relates to the technical field of breast massagers, and discloses a breast massager and a control method thereof, which includes a simulated palm and a massage module, wherein the massage module includes a rotating unit, a plurality of massage units, a spacing control unit, and a driving unit; the plurality of massage units are respectively slidably arranged on the rotating unit toward the axis of the breast, and the spacing control unit is arranged on the rotating unit. The present invention arranges a simulated palm and a massage module, and after positioning the breast, uses the massage module to massage the blocked milk area; wherein the plurality of massage units can rotate around the axis of the breast through the rotating unit, so as to achieve the operation of circular massage to stimulate lactation, and at the same time, through the spacing control unit, it can achieve pushing massage in the direction of the nipple, pushing lumps in the direction away from the nipple to dredge the mammary ducts, and squeezing the areola to squeeze out milk. Compared with the existing breast massagers, it can imitate more "techniques" of breast therapists, and can replace breast therapists when it is inconvenient for breast therapists to come to the door.
