This ensures that the air pressure chamber 7 formed between the integrated bra unit 6 and the rear shell 2 is extremely airtight, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the breast pump.

[0043] Furthermore, the rear side opening 241 of the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 of the present invention, the front side wall of the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 is provided with a lower accommodating chamber groove 242, the front side wall of the milk cap 62 is provided with a milk cap protrusion 621 that is inserted into the lower accommodating chamber groove 242, and the two side walls of the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 are provided with fastening protrusions 243. When the milk cap 62 is inserted into the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24, the fastening protrusions 243 can form a fastening effect on the outer wall of the milk cap 62.

[0044] Furthermore, the deformable structure 63 of the present invention is integrally formed at the upper and rear ends of the milking channel 61, eliminating the need for a suction cup assembly and further conserving space within the breast pump. Furthermore, by placing the deformable structure 63 at the upper and rear ends of the milking channel, the electric air pump assembly 3 of the breast pump can be positioned on either side of the housing 203, further conserving space within the breast pump compared to conventional breast pumps.

[0045] Furthermore, the front shell 1 of the present invention is provided with a front shell connecting portion 11 on the inner side of the rear end thereof, and the front shell connecting portion 11 is provided with a fixing groove 12.

[0046] Furthermore, the brassiere 60 of the present invention is provided with a door-shaped frame 601 on the front side, and the front sealing groove 52 is disposed on the door-shaped frame 601. The door-shaped frame 601 effectively strengthens the seal. A connecting portion 611 is provided between the milking passage 61 and the milk cover 62, and the lower sealing groove 54 is disposed on the outer wall of the connecting portion 611. The size of the door-shaped frame 601 is comparable to the size of the rear opening 22 of the accommodating cavity 21, and the size of the connecting portion 611 is comparable to the size of the lower opening 23 of the accommodating cavity 21. The placement of the lower sealing groove 54 on the connecting portion 611 prevents deformation of the deformable structure 63 or the milk cover 62.

[0047] Furthermore, the lower portion of the lower sealing ring 53 of the present invention is provided with a rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 for inserting the milk cap 62. The upper portion of the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 communicates with the accommodating chamber 21, and the lower sealing ring 53 is disposed between the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 and the accommodating chamber 21. Support edges 240 may also be provided on both sides between the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 and the accommodating chamber 21 below the lower sealing ring 53. The support edges 240 support the lower sealing ring 53 and prevent deformation. The lower sealing ring 53 and the two support edges 240 separate the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 from the accommodating chamber 21. When the air pressure chamber 7 is compressed and deformed, the milk cap 62 located in the rear shell lower accommodating chamber 24 will not deform.

[0048] Furthermore, the brassiere 60, milking passage 61, deformable structure 63, door frame 601, connecting portion 611, milk cover 62, and one-way valve 64 of the present invention are integrally formed from a flexible material, such as silicone or rubber. This integrated structure reduces the number of parts required compared to conventional breast pumps.

[0049] Furthermore, the rear shell 2 of the present invention includes a rear shell bottom plate 201, the rear side of the rear shell bottom plate 201 is provided with a rear shell rear panel 202, the rear opening 22 is set on the rear shell rear panel 202, and the front edge of the rear shell rear panel 202 is provided with a rear panel groove 2021, and the upper rear end of the front shell can be stuck in the rear panel groove.

[0050] Furthermore, the rear housing 2 of the present invention is provided with a housing 203 protruding toward the front housing. The housing 203 defines a housing 21. The electric air pump assembly 3 includes an air pump 31, a battery 32, and a solenoid valve 33 disposed on both sides of the housing 203. The housing 203 is provided with an air intake hole 204, and one end of the air pump 31 communicates with the air intake hole 204.

[0051] Furthermore, the milk cap 62 of the present invention is provided with an internal thread, and the milk storage container 8 can be used directly with a pacifier to replace an ordinary milk bottle, thereby realizing the multifunctional use of the breast pump and saving budget.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, when the milk cap 62 is made of a flexible material, in order to facilitate the connection between the milk storage container 8 and the milk cap 62, a hard rubber ring is provided on the outer side of the milk cap 62, thereby increasing the overall hardness of the milk cap and facilitating the fixed connection between the milk storage container and the flexible milk cap.

[0053] like Figure 14As shown, the switch assembly 4 of the present invention includes a control circuit board 41 in the front housing 1 and a rocker switch 42 connected to the control circuit board. The rocker switch 42 is connected to a rocker body 43 on the outside. The side wall of the rocker body 43 is provided with a rocker annular groove 44. A sealing silicone ring 45 is sealed in the rocker annular groove 44. A decorative cover 46 is provided on the outside of the sealing silicone ring 45. Since the rocker switch 3 and the rocker body 4 are matched with the control circuit board 2, the rocker switch assembly of the present invention can be made smaller in size and occupies less space in the breast pump, which is beneficial for assembly into the breast pump and further reducing the size of the breast pump.

[0054] Furthermore, a connector 461 is provided on the inner wall of the decorative cover 46. This connector 461 passes through a sealing silicone ring 45 to secure the joystick body 43, the sealing silicone ring 45, and the decorative cover 46 to the front housing 1. The sealing silicone ring 45 seals the joystick body and the breast pump housing, and the decorative cover and the breast pump housing. This improves the waterproofing of the main unit switch compared to existing breast pumps.

[0055] Furthermore, a waterproof annular bead 451 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing silicone ring 45. This waterproof bead 451 tightly fits against the inner surface of the decorative cover 46, preventing water from entering the breast pump through the gap between the sealing silicone ring 45 and the decorative cover 46, thereby providing a more effective seal and waterproofing. The sealing silicone ring 45 is provided with a silicone ring hole 451 through which the connector 461 passes. This ensures that the entire breast pump is fully waterproof.

[0056] Furthermore, a light-blocking bracket 47 is provided between the control circuit board 41 and the front housing 1 . The light-blocking bracket 47 can prevent light leakage and protect privacy.

[0057] The breast pump provided by the present invention is a wearable integrated breast pump, in which a bra, a milk suction channel, a deformable structure, a milk cover and a one-way valve are arranged as an integrally formed structure. Compared with existing breast pumps, the breast pump has fewer parts, is simple to assemble, is small in size, is easy to disassemble and clean, and is easy to carry and transport.

[0058] The rear shell of the breast pump of the present invention is sealed to the integrated bra unit through the sealing structure, so that the air pressure cavity formed between the integrated bra unit and the rear shell has very good sealing performance, thereby effectively improving the working efficiency of the breast pump.

[0059] The milk storage container of the breast pump of the present invention is detachably connected to the milk cover, and the milk storage container can be directly used with a pacifier to replace an ordinary feeding bottle, thereby realizing the multifunctional use of the breast pump and saving budget.

[0060] The breast pump of the present invention arranges the deformable structure at the upper part and rear end of the milk suction channel, and the electric air pump assembly of the breast pump can be arranged on the left and right sides of the accommodating cavity shell, which can further save the space inside the breast pump compared with the existing breast pump.

[0061] The breast pump of the present invention uses a rocker switch and a rocker body in combination with a control circuit board. This allows the rocker switch assembly of the present invention to be smaller in size and occupy less space in the breast pump, making it easier to assemble in the breast pump and further reducing the size of the breast pump.
