Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of breast milk assisted feeding devices, and particularly to a breast milk assisted feeding device for newborns. Background Art

[0002] In the past 10 years, the number of premature infants in NICUs in China has increased significantly. With the progress of treatment technology and the improvement of treatment level, the survival rate of extremely premature and ultra-premature infants has increased significantly. However, severe diseases of premature infants (such as brain injury, severe infection, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, etc.) prolong the hospital stay, seriously affect the prognosis of children, and bring a heavy disease burden to society and families.

[0003] More and more studies have shown that breast milk plays an important role in the treatment of premature infants. Breast milk not only contains rich nutrients, but also contains a large number of bioactive substances. Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins, and the most important one is secretory IgA, which can provide important immune protection for infants. Breast milk contains a variety of substances with antioxidant effects, which play an important role in preventing diseases, promoting the growth and development of infants and long-term health. In addition, breast milk contains a large number of live cells, including immune cells and stem cells. At the same time, clinical studies have confirmed that breast feeding can reduce the incidence of severe diseases in premature infants, promote the early establishment of enteral nutrition in premature infants; reduce the incidence of severe diseases such as severe infection, NEC, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity in premature infants; breast milk can also promote the development of the nervous system and reduce the risk of allergic diseases and adult metabolic syndrome; it is beneficial to the growth and development and long-term health of premature infants.

[0004] Breast milk is the preferred food with therapeutic effects in NICUs. However, critically ill newborns in NICUs, especially premature infants, have a relatively long hospital stay. The traditional Chinese postpartum "sitting confinement" custom results in a long separation between the mother and the newborn after birth, and breastfeeding cannot be effectively carried out and implemented. In addition, some mothers cannot provide breast milk due to factors such as not receiving correct guidance, illness, or living outside the location of the hospital where the child is hospitalized after discharge. These are the main obstacles to breast feeding for hospitalized newborns. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a breast milk assisted feeding device for newborns to solve the problems mentioned in the above background art, that is, critically ill newborns in NICUs, especially premature infants, have a relatively long hospital stay. The traditional Chinese postpartum "sitting confinement" custom results in a long separation between the mother and the newborn after birth, and breastfeeding cannot be effectively carried out and implemented. In addition, some mothers cannot provide breast milk due to factors such as not receiving correct guidance, illness, or living outside the location of the hospital where the child is hospitalized after discharge.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0015] Furthermore, the milk storage bag is internally connected to the milk storage bin through the fixed pipe, and the milk storage bag is located outside the milk storage bin.

[0016] Furthermore, the fixed pipe and the movable pipe are in a vertical structure, and the outer diameter of the movable pipe is larger than the inner diameter of the fixed pipe.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, by providing an adjustment component, the fixed ring can be driven by a power push rod to slide on the outer surface of the inner cover layer, so that the inner cover layer can be sunken inward, and thus the nipple can protrude outward, thereby assisting normal breastfeeding in cases of nipple deformities (such as nipple inversion, etc.) and injuries (cracks), etc. And by inflating the air bag inside the air chamber, the breast is squeezed by the air bag, thereby assisting in feeding difficulties caused by insufficient sucking force of the baby and insufficient lactation.

[0019] 2. Based on the beneficial effect 1, by providing a movable component, the movable tube can be moved so that the second through hole is located inside the fixed tube, so that the milk storage bag and the inside of the fixed tube can be connected. The milk inside the milk storage bag can be squeezed into the milk storage bin by squeezing the milk storage bag, or the milk inside the milk storage bin can be discharged into the milk storage bag, so as to adapt to the situation of mother-infant separation and insufficient breast milk.

[0035] The electric push rod 21 is used to drive the fixed ring 22 to move, the fixed ring 22 is used to squeeze the inner cover layer 12, the first through hole 23 is used to place the connecting pipe 24, the connecting pipe 24 is used to connect the inflation bag 25 and the airbag 26, the inflation bag 25 is used to inflate the inside of the airbag 26, and the airbag 26 is used to squeeze the breast.

[0036] The auxiliary component further includes an inner cover layer 12 and a milk storage bin 13. The inner cover layer 12 is fixedly connected to one side inside the outer cover layer 11, and the milk storage bin 13 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the outer cover layer 11;

[0037] The outer cover layer 11 is used to fit outside the breast, the inner cover layer 12 fits outside the nipple, and the milk storage bin 13 is used to store breast milk.

[0038] The electric push rod 21 penetrates through the outer cover layer 11 and extends inward, and the fixed ring 22 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the inner cover layer 12;

[0039] When the electric push rod 21 drives the fixed ring 22 to slide on the outer surface of the inner cover layer 12, the fixed ring 22 can drive the inner cover layer 12 to sink inward.

[0040] The inflatable bag 25 is internally connected to the airbag 26 through the connecting pipe 24;

[0041] By squeezing the inflatable bag 25, gas can be injected into the airbag 26, causing the airbag 26 to expand.

[0049] The milk storage bag 36 is internally connected to the milk storage bin 13 through the fixed pipe 31, and the milk storage bag 36 is located outside the milk storage bin 13;

[0050] By squeezing the milk storage bag 36, the milk liquid in the milk storage bag 36 can be squeezed into the interior of the milk storage bin 13. When there is no milk liquid in the milk storage bag 36, the milk liquid in the milk storage bin 13 can enter the interior of the milk storage bag 36.

[0051] The fixed pipe 31 and the movable pipe 32 are perpendicular structures, and the outer diameter of the movable pipe 32 is larger than the inner diameter of the fixed pipe 31;
