Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inverted nipple correction, in particular to an inverted nipple corrector and a correction method. Background Art

[0002] Nipple inversion is a common breast deformity, usually caused by shortened mammary ducts, dysplasia or other pathological reasons, which brings inconvenience to the patient's appearance and breastfeeding function. In the prior art, the correction methods for nipple inversion are mainly divided into non-surgical correction and surgical correction. Among them, the non-surgical correction method is mainly based on nipple correctors, which rely on negative pressure suction or mechanical stretching to pull the nipple to a normal position.

[0003] For example, in Chinese patent CN107260373B, a nipple inverted correction frame is provided, which realizes nipple correction by mechanical stretching. In Chinese patent CN211750323U, a negative pressure nipple inverted correction device for obstetrics and gynecology is provided, which realizes nipple correction by negative pressure suction.

[0004] However, in actual application, we found that if mechanical stretching is used alone, the continuous physical force is large, and the patient will feel obvious discomfort and pain. If negative pressure suction is used alone, it needs to rely on a large negative pressure, otherwise the nipple cannot be sucked out, but this can easily cause local congestion of the skin, bruises, and even damage the nipple tissue.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed a nipple inverted corrector and correction method, which cleverly combines the two correction methods of negative pressure suction and mechanical stretching, providing a safe, comfortable and efficient correction solution. Summary of the invention

[0006] 1. Technical issues to be resolved In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a nipple inverted corrector and a correction method, which have the advantages of good correction effect and less pain for patients.

[0007] (II) Technical solution In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of good correction effect and less pain for patients, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a nipple inverted corrector, comprising a bowl-shaped breast shield and a accommodating tube arranged in the middle of the breast shield, wherein one end of the accommodating tube away from the breast shield is closed, and further comprising: The rotating cylinder is rotatably mounted on the end of the accommodating cylinder. The accommodating cylinder and the rotating cylinder are eccentrically provided with a through groove and a break groove. When the rotating cylinder rotates, the break groove can selectively overlap or stagger with the through groove. The break groove is used to connect the negative pressure generator. An inner fixed cylinder, fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the accommodating cylinder; The inflatable annular airbag is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the inner fixed cylinder.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the rotating cylinder is rotatably mounted on the end of the accommodating cylinder through a rotating column.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the end surface of the accommodating tube is further provided with a sealing gasket; An opening groove is provided on the sealing gasket at a position corresponding to the through groove.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, air holes are evenly formed on the inner fixing tube.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the annular airbag is connected to an inflation mechanism through an air pipe, and the inflation mechanism is fixedly mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the accommodating tube.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the inflation mechanism is an annular sleeve fixedly mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the accommodating cylinder; An annular piston is movably arranged in the annular sleeve, the side of the annular piston facing away from the rotating cylinder is supported by a supporting spring, and a pressure rod is fixedly installed on the side facing the rotating cylinder, and the end of the pressure rod extends to the outside of the annular sleeve.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, when the rotating drum rotates to change the on-off groove and the through groove from an overlapping state to a staggered state, the rotating drum can synchronously push the pressure rod to move.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, one end of the rotating cylinder facing the annular sleeve is provided with a slope surface formed by cutting, and the slope surface cooperates with the pressure rod to push the pressure rod to move axially along the annular sleeve when the rotating cylinder rotates.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a flat surface is provided at one end of the rotating cylinder facing the annular sleeve, and the flat surface is located in the area outside the slope surface. When the flat surface contacts the pressure rod, the pressure rod is kept in a stationary state.

[0016] (III) Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a nipple inverted corrector, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The nipple retraction corrector provides adsorption force through negative pressure, and uses the flexible wrapping of the inflated annular airbag to provide gentle support to the nipple in multiple directions. It not only avoids skin congestion or bruises that may be caused by large negative pressure, but also avoids the defect of physical traction that easily damages the nipple. The correction effect is better and the patient suffers less pain.

[0017] 2. The small negative pressure of the nipple retraction corrector is not easy to cause skin congestion or bruises. The flexible wrapping of the annular airbag will not cause pain to the patient. At the same time, the negative pressure and the friction between the airbag and the nipple can effectively ensure the extension of the nipple, thereby achieving the purpose of nipple retraction correction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment 1: See also Figure 1-Figure 6 A nipple inverted corrector includes a bowl-shaped breast shield 1 and a receiving tube 2 arranged in the middle of the breast shield 1, wherein one end of the receiving tube 2 away from the breast shield 1 is closed. When in use, the breast shield 1 is buckled on the breast, and the nipple is located in the receiving tube 2; like Figure 2 As shown, a rotating cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted at the end of the accommodating cylinder 2 through a rotating column 4, and a through groove 5 and a break groove 6 are eccentrically opened on the accommodating cylinder 2 and the rotating cylinder 3, respectively. When the rotating cylinder 3 rotates, the break groove 6 can selectively overlap or stagger with the through groove 5; The on-off slot 6 is connected to a negative pressure generator (such as a needle tube). When the on-off slot 6 coincides with the through slot 5, negative pressure can be generated in the breast shield 1 through the negative pressure generator, thereby fixing the breast shield 1 on the breast. After fixation, the on-off slot 6 and the through slot 5 are staggered by rotating the rotating cylinder 3, so that the through slot 5 can be closed, and the negative pressure generator can be directly removed at this time.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a sealing gasket 7 is further provided on the end surface of the accommodating cylinder 2, and an opening groove is opened on the sealing gasket 7 at the position corresponding to the through groove 5. The sealing gasket 7 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing between the accommodating cylinder 2 and the rotating cylinder 3.

[0023] When in use, the breast shield 1 is sucked and buckled on the breast, and a moderate negative pressure is generated in the breast shield 1 through the negative pressure generator, and the negative pressure can be used to correct the nipple retraction.

[0024] In this embodiment, an inner fixing tube 8 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the accommodating tube 2, and an inflatable annular airbag 9 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the inner fixing tube 8. The nipple is inserted into the annular airbag 9. The inflated annular airbag 9 is flexibly wrapped to provide multi-directional gentle support to the nipple. In this way, the nipple can be kept extended without a particularly large negative pressure, thus avoiding the problem of skin congestion and bruises caused by a large negative pressure. Compared with pure physical traction, the airbag method also avoids the defect of physical traction that easily damages the nipple, has better correction effect and less pain for patients.

[0025] In short, in the present invention, by utilizing small negative pressure and the friction between the airbag and the nipple, the nipple can be extended to achieve the purpose of correcting nipple retraction. Smaller negative pressure is less likely to cause skin congestion or bruises, and the flexible wrapping of the annular airbag 9 will not cause pain to the patient.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, air holes 10 are evenly formed on the inner fixing tube 8 to ensure the circulation of gas.

[0027] In this embodiment, an inflation mechanism of the annular airbag 9 is also provided, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the annular airbag 9 is connected to the inflation mechanism through the air pipe 11, and the inflation mechanism is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the accommodating tube 2. The inflation mechanism is specifically an annular sleeve 12, which is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the accommodating tube 2. Figure 2 As shown, an annular piston 13 is movably arranged in the annular sleeve 12, and the side of the annular piston 13 facing away from the rotating cylinder 3 is supported by a support spring 14, and the side facing the rotating cylinder 3 is fixedly installed with a pressure rod 15, and the end of the pressure rod 15 extends to the outside of the annular sleeve 12; The annular piston 13 is moved by pressing the pressure rod 15 . The movement of the annular piston 13 compresses the support spring 14 , and the gas in the annular sleeve 12 is filled into the annular airbag 9 through the air pipe 11 , thereby achieving inflation of the annular airbag 9 .

[0028] In this embodiment, when the rotating cylinder 3 rotates to change the on-off slot 6 and the through slot 5 from the overlapping state to the staggered state, the pressing rod 15 can be synchronously pushed to move by the rotating cylinder 3 .

[0029] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, a slope surface 16 formed by cutting is provided at one end of the rotating cylinder 3 facing the annular sleeve 12, and the slope surface 16 cooperates with the pressure rod 15 to push the pressure rod 15 to move along the axial direction of the annular sleeve 12 when the rotating cylinder 3 rotates. In addition, a flat surface 17 is provided at one end of the rotating cylinder 3 facing the annular sleeve 12, and the flat surface 17 is located in the area outside the slope surface 16. When the flat surface 17 contacts the pressure rod 15, the static state of the pressure rod 15 can be maintained; When the on-off slot 6 and the through slot 5 overlap, the pressure rod 15 is located at the low point of the slope surface 16; when the rotating cylinder 3 rotates, on the one hand, the on-off slot 6 and the through slot 5 are staggered, closing the through slot 5 to maintain the negative pressure in the breast shield 1, and on the other hand, the pressure rod 15 can be squeezed by the slope surface 16, so as to achieve the inflation of the annular airbag 9; when the pressure rod 15 is on the flat surface 17, the position of the pressure rod 15 is stable, and at the same time, the position of the rotating cylinder 3 can be reversely positioned by using the supporting force; Thus, in this embodiment, after negative pressure is generated in the suction cover 1, while the rotating cylinder 3 is rotated to close the through groove 5, gas can be synchronously filled into the annular airbag 9 to make it bulge, thereby providing gentle support to the nipple in multiple directions. By using small negative pressure and flexible fixation at the same time, it can avoid skin congestion or bruises caused by large negative pressure, and also avoid the defect of pure physical traction that easily damages the nipple, so that the correction effect is better and the patient suffers less pain.

[0030] Embodiment 2: On the basis of the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a correction method of the inverted nipple corrector, which is used for the inverted nipple corrector provided in the first embodiment, and specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Use external stimulation (such as cold stimulation, massage stimulation) to temporarily extend the inverted nipple; Step 2: buckle the breast shield onto the breast and place the nipple in the annular air bag 9; Step 3, the switch slot 6 is connected to a negative pressure generator, and a moderate negative pressure is generated in the breast shield 1 through the negative pressure generator, and the breast shield 1 is sucked and buckled on the breast; Step 4: Rotate the rotating cylinder 3 to stagger the on-off groove 6 and the through groove 5, and at the same time fill the air in the annular sleeve 12 into the annular airbag 9 to inflate the annular airbag 9 and bind the nipple; Step 5. Remove the negative pressure generator and continue nipple correction.
