Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of maternal and infant care equipment technology, and relates to an integrated intelligent breastfeeding aid device for mothers and infants. Background Technology

[0002] Breastfeeding is widely recognized as the ideal way for newborns to receive nutrition. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding until the infant is six months old and continuing until two years of age or older. In actual breastfeeding, mothers need to straighten their backs, exert force with their limbs, tilt their heads forward to look at the infant, and maintain a specific posture for a long time, holding the infant with their head higher than their feet in their arms so that the infant can latch onto one nipple and prevent spitting up. This process often lasts from ten minutes to half an hour, and can occur as frequently as every two hours. This traditional method of holding and feeding is extremely physically demanding for mothers. The prolonged unilateral support and holding of the infant, along with looking down at the baby, causes extreme soreness and discomfort in the mother's arms and neck. Mothers may even elevate one leg to support their arm holding the infant's head to maintain the head-high-feet-low position. Because the infant must be kept stable during feeding, arm tremors could cause the infant to choke on milk. Therefore, the stability and difficulty of the mother's arm support and the elevated leg are far greater than in a normal holding. Clinical nursing surveys show that over 78% of breastfeeding mothers report arm fatigue as the primary source of discomfort during breastfeeding. At the same time, when an infant is suckling at one of the mother's nipples, milk usually flows automatically from the other breast due to the physiological stimulation reflex caused by the contact between mother and infant. The mother will hold a container to collect the milk flowing from the other breast, seal it, and refrigerate it for later feeding the infant. However, if the milk flow rate of the breast the infant is sucking is too fast, the infant may choke on the milk. The mother will then use her other hand to hold the nipple to slow down the milk flow rate. At this time, she will not be able to collect the milk that flows automatically from the other breast, resulting in the waste of breast milk and the soaking of clothes and bedding.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, several breastfeeding support devices have been developed and applied in the existing technology. Currently, common breastfeeding pillows typically use a U-shaped or C-shaped sponge structure to surround the mother's waist and abdomen, providing limited support for the baby. However, this static support method only achieves basic lifting function and cannot dynamically adjust according to changes in the baby's position. Furthermore, it lacks active support for the mother's arms, requiring the mother to still use her arms to support the baby and prevent slippage. Another existing technology uses an adjustable support plate to assist mothers in side-lying breastfeeding, but its structure only adjusts to the mother's own lying posture and fails to address the issue of coordinated positioning between the baby's posture and the mother's breast. Regarding milk collection from the spare breast, existing milk collection containers are mostly handheld or electric breast pumps. The former requires the mother to operate with one hand and cannot coordinate with the action of holding the baby, while the latter, although freeing up the hands, cannot dynamically adjust its position according to the baby's sucking and is inconvenient to use independently of the baby support device. In addition, in outdoor breastfeeding scenarios, mothers usually need to carry a nursing cover for protection. This temporary protection method is unstable and cannot be integrated with baby support devices, increasing the burden when going out.

[0004] In summary, existing breastfeeding aids generally suffer from the following shortcomings: First, they only provide static support and cannot dynamically adjust to changes in infant position and mother's body size, resulting in poor individual adaptability. Second, they lack an integrated design for simultaneous care of both breasts, making it impossible to effectively collect milk from the other breast while the infant is suckling from one. Third, the infant support system and breast support system are independent, failing to achieve coordinated posture adjustment, requiring the mother to manually align the nipple. Fourth, they lack a systematic consideration of privacy needs during outdoor breastfeeding, necessitating additional shielding. These problems collectively prevent existing technologies from fundamentally liberating mothers' limbs, reducing the physical burden of breastfeeding, and effectively addressing practical needs such as milk waste and outdoor privacy protection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a breastfeeding aid that can achieve coordinated adjustment of infant posture and breast support, provide simultaneous bilateral milk collection, and integrate a privacy protection structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose an integrated intelligent breastfeeding aid device for mothers and infants. This device addresses the problems in existing technologies, such as mothers experiencing arm fatigue from holding their babies for extended periods, wasting and embarrassing milk from unused breasts, the inability to achieve individualized posture matching between mothers and infants of different body sizes, the lack of effective privacy protection during outdoor breastfeeding, and difficulties in alignment due to the inability of the baby support system and breast support system to coordinate and adjust. These problems are addressed by including a reconfigurable bottom support assembly consisting of four electrically telescopic blocks with integrated three-way independent push rods connected end-to-end; an infant support chamber consisting of side pillars, rectangular support flexible fabric, and elastic cross-reinforcing ribs; a breast support assembly consisting of a telescopic base, electrically telescopic columns, a sliding breast support frame, a sliding breast support block, and an adaptive telescopic breast support; a synchronous milk collection unit consisting of an electrically rotating platform and a milk container holder; a privacy protection unit consisting of a roller shutter box and a fixed shielding curtain; and an electronic control system for uniformly controlling the actions of each actuator and storing reset parameters.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention is an integrated intelligent breastfeeding aid device for mothers and infants. It comprises four main components: a bottom support assembly, an infant support chamber, a breast support assembly, and an electronic control system. These components work together through precise mechanical connections and electrical controls.

[0030] The bottom support assembly includes four three-way electrically telescopic blocks 100, arranged in a rectangular quadrant. Each three-way electrically telescopic block 100 integrates three independently driven electric push rods: a first horizontal push rod 101, a second horizontal push rod 102, and a vertical push rod 103. The first horizontal push rod 101 is positioned along the X-axis, with its telescopic end fixedly connected to a first connector. The second horizontal push rod 102 is positioned along the Y-axis, with its telescopic end fixedly connected to a second connector. The telescopic directions of the first and second horizontal push rods 101 are perpendicular to each other, ensuring dimensional adjustment in two orthogonal directions within the plane. The vertical push rod 103 is positioned along the Z-axis, with its telescopic end extending vertically upwards to support the upper structure and adjust its height.

[0031] Four three-way electrically telescopic blocks 100 are connected end-to-end through the telescopic ends of their respective first horizontal push rods 101 and second horizontal push rods 102 to form a closed-loop rectangular support frame. Specifically, between adjacent three-way electrically telescopic blocks 100, the first connector of the first block 100 is inserted into and fixed within the base of the second horizontal push rod 102 of the second block 100. Simultaneously, the second connector of the second block 100 is inserted into the base of the first horizontal push rod 101 of the third block 100, and so on, forming a rigid connection. This connection method allows the dimensions of the entire rectangular support frame to be infinitely adjustable by controlling the telescopic amounts of the first and second horizontal push rods 101 to adapt to different spatial environments.

[0032] Each three-way electric telescopic block 100 is fixedly equipped with a universal sliding roller 106 at its lower end. The universal sliding roller 106 is made of high-strength nylon, which has good ground adaptability and flexible rotation. Each universal sliding roller 106 is equipped with a locking device 107. In this embodiment, the locking device 107 is an electromagnetic locking device, which contains an electromagnet and a locking pin. When the electromagnet is energized, it drives the locking pin to extend and engage with the hub tooth groove of the universal sliding roller 106, achieving reliable locking. When the power is off, the locking pin is reset by the action of the spring, unlocking the roller. The locking device 107 is connected to the controller 400 through a circuit, and the controller 400 can control the locking or unlocking.

[0033] Each vertical push rod 103 is fixedly mounted with an electromagnetic ball joint head 108 at its top. The electromagnetic ball joint head 108 consists of a ball joint seat and a ball joint. The ball joint is fixedly connected to the connecting post above. The ball joint seat contains an electromagnetic coil and a locking mechanism. When the electromagnetic ball joint head 108 is energized, the ball joint can rotate freely within the ball joint seat. When the adjustment is completed and the power is turned off, the electromagnetic force disappears, and the locking mechanism presses the ball joint against the spring, thus locking the angle. The electromagnetic ball joint head 108 is also connected to the controller 400 via wiring and receives power-on / off commands from the controller.

[0034] The infant support chamber comprises four frame pillars 200 and a rectangular support flexible fabric 201. The four frame pillars 200 are all hollow, lightweight aluminum alloy tubing, possessing excellent strength and lightweight characteristics. The bottom end of each frame pillar 200 is fixedly connected to a corresponding electromagnetic ball joint head 108 via a connecting post. The lower end of the connecting post is welded to the ball head of the electromagnetic ball joint head 108, and the upper end is inserted into the mounting hole at the bottom of the frame pillar 200 and secured with bolts. In this way, the four frame pillars 200 can achieve spatial attitude adjustment under the action of the electromagnetic ball joint head 108.

[0035] The rectangular support flexible fabric 201 is made of multi-layer composite fabric. The inner layer is a skin-friendly pure cotton layer, the middle layer is a high-elasticity mesh support layer, and the outer layer is a waterproof and wear-resistant layer. High-strength webbing is sewn to each of the four corners of the rectangular support flexible fabric 201. The ends of the webbing are equipped with metal buckles, which are used to fix it to the bottom of the cabin frame side pillars 200. When the four cabin frame side pillars 200 are standing vertically, the rectangular support flexible fabric 201 is stretched to form a hammock-like lying surface for the baby.

[0036] Elastic cross reinforcing ribs 202 are fixedly provided at the bottom (i.e., the lower surface) of the rectangular supporting flexible fabric 201. In this embodiment, the elastic cross reinforcing ribs 202 are cross-shaped elastic bands made of high-elastic rubber material. The two ends of the cross-shaped elastic bands are fixed to the four corner areas of the bottom of the rectangular supporting flexible fabric 201, respectively, by sewing the ends of the elastic bands to the flexible fabric. A reinforcing node 203 is provided at the intersection point of the cross-shaped elastic bands. The reinforcing node 203 is an injection-molded circular plastic sheet used to disperse stress concentration at the intersection point. The function of the elastic cross reinforcing ribs 202 is to increase the tension and anti-indentation ability of the flexible fabric. When the infant lies on it, the elastic cross reinforcing ribs 202 undergo elastic deformation, evenly distributing the infant's weight and preventing the infant's body from sinking excessively, which could cause spinal curvature or breathing difficulties.

[0037] Elastic protective fabric 204 is fixedly installed on the rear and left and right sides of the cuboid structure enclosed by four frame pillars 200. The elastic protective fabric 204 is made of highly elastic, breathable mesh fabric with elastic edging and is connected to the frame pillars 200 via snaps or Velcro. Specifically, the four corners of each elastic protective fabric 204 are fixed to two adjacent frame pillars 200, forming a fence structure to effectively prevent the baby from rolling off the side or back. The front side remains open without protective fabric, allowing the baby to reach out and hug the mother's chest while nursing, increasing the emotional bond between mother and baby.

[0038] The breast support assembly includes a telescopic base 300, an electrically telescopic column 301, a breast support sliding frame 302, a breast support telescopic sliding block, an adaptive telescopic breast support 304, and a milk container holder 305. The telescopic base 300 is fixedly disposed at the connection point between two three-way electrically telescopic blocks 100 located on the front side, specifically at the middle position of the transverse connecting rod formed by the docking of the two three-way electrically telescopic blocks 100 through a first horizontal push rod 101 or a second horizontal push rod 102. The telescopic base 300 is fixedly connected to this connecting rod by bolts.

[0039] An electric telescopic column 301 is fixedly installed on the top of the telescopic base 300. The electric telescopic column 301 adopts a ball screw structure and is driven by a built-in DC motor, enabling stepless vertical lifting. A breast support sliding frame 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic column 301. The breast support sliding frame 302 is a one-piece molded aluminum alloy component with an inverted T-shaped structure, and its horizontal part is located in the left and right direction. The breast support sliding frame 302 is located on the front exterior of the baby support chamber, spatially adjacent to but not connected to the front edge of the rectangular support flexible fabric 201. A gap of about 2-3 cm is reserved between the two to ensure that they move independently and do not interfere with each other.

[0040] The breast support sliding frame 302 has symmetrically arranged breast support sliding grooves 306 on its left and right sides. Each breast support sliding groove 306 has a T-shaped groove structure, and a breast support telescopic sliding block is embedded within the groove. The breast support telescopic sliding block includes a sliding base 307 and a telescopic arm 308. The sliding base 307 is a T-shaped slider that precisely matches the breast support sliding groove 306, allowing it to slide vertically within the groove. The sliding base 307 is driven by a first micro-motor, which is fixedly installed at the top of the breast support sliding groove 306. Its output shaft is connected to a lead screw, which engages with a threaded hole in the sliding base 307. Rotation of the lead screw drives the sliding base 307 to move up and down. The telescopic arm 308 is a hollow square tube structure, slidably disposed within the sliding base 307, and is driven by a second micro-motor, which is fixed inside the sliding base 307. Its output shaft is connected to a gear. The telescopic arm 308 has a rack, which meshes with the gear. Rotation of the gear drives the telescopic arm 308 to extend and retract horizontally.

[0041] An adaptive telescopic breast support 304 is fixedly installed at the top end of the telescopic arm 308. The adaptive telescopic breast support 304 consists of two semi-circular arc-shaped plates 309 and a telescopic adjuster 310 connecting the two arc-shaped plates 309. The arc-shaped plates 309 are made of medical-grade silicone, which is soft and elastic with a smooth inner surface. The telescopic adjuster 310 is a miniature electric push rod, whose two ends are fixedly connected to the back of the two arc-shaped plates 309 respectively. The miniature electric push rod integrates a motor and a lead screw. The motor drives the push rod to extend and retract by rotating forward and backward, thereby changing the distance between the two arc-shaped plates 309 and realizing stepless adjustment of the breast support diameter. A replaceable disposable adhesive anti-pollution sticker is provided on the concave surface of the top of each arc-shaped plate 309. The anti-pollution sticker is made of medical non-woven fabric with pressure-sensitive adhesive on the back. It can be pasted and fixed to the inside of the arc-shaped plate 309 and is disposable after use to ensure hygiene.

[0042] An electric rotary table 312 is fixedly installed at the top center of the breast support sliding frame 302. The electric rotary table 312 consists of a stepper motor and a harmonic reducer, enabling high-precision rotational positioning. A breast milk container holder 305 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the electric rotary table 312. The breast milk container holder 305 includes annular jaws 313 and elastic buffer pads 314. The annular jaws 313 are open ring structures, consisting of two half-rings connected by hinges, with a locking knob at the opening. The elastic buffer pads 314 are made of silicone and adhere to the inner wall of the annular jaws 313, used to hold breast milk containers of different diameters and to provide cushioning and anti-slip function. The rotation of the electric rotary table 312 drives the breast milk container holder 305 to rotate, adjusting the angle of the breast milk container to align it with the nipple.

[0043] A securing strap extension seat 315 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the breast support sliding frame 302. The securing strap extension seat 315 is a rectangular plastic box with a spring roller inside, on which a flexible securing strap 316 is wound and stored. The flexible securing strap 316 is made of elastic fabric, with one end fixedly connected to the spring roller, and the other end leading out from the outlet of the securing strap extension seat 315 and connected to a connector 317. The connector 317 is the male part of a plastic buckle. A securing strap snap fastener is fixedly installed at the middle of the rear side of the rectangular supporting flexible fabric 201. The securing strap snap fastener is the female part of a plastic buckle and matches the connector 317. When it is necessary to secure the baby, pull out the flexible securing strap 316 to wrap around the baby's waist and abdomen, and insert the connector 317 into the securing strap snap fastener to lock it in place.

[0044] A roller shutter box 206 is fixedly installed at the top of the two rear frame side posts 200. The roller shutter box 206 is a long strip of metal box, with a coil spring and a pivot inside. A fixed cover curtain 207 is wound around the pivot. The fixed cover curtain 207 is composed of two independent thin fabrics. The lower layer is a transparent fabric with a UV-resistant transparent coating on both sides that does not affect the transparency, allowing the mother to observe the baby's condition while breastfeeding. The upper layer is an anti-peeping cover, which can be placed over the transparent layer to prevent peeping when breastfeeding in public. Users can choose to use either a single layer or both layers as needed. Its outer end extends from the outlet of the roller shutter box 206 and is sewn with a connector. A cover curtain fixing buckle 208, which is a hook or magnetic buckle, is fixedly installed at the top of the two front frame side posts 200. The connector is a hanging ring or metal piece that matches the curtain fixing buckle 208. When privacy is needed, pull out the fixed curtain 207 to cover the front, and hook the connector onto the curtain fixing buckle 208 to create a private space.

[0045] The electronic control system includes a controller 400. The controller 400 is a handheld touchscreen tablet, integrating a microprocessor, storage module, wireless communication module, and battery. The controller 400 is electrically connected to various actuators via multi-core cables, specifically: connected to the drive motors of the first horizontal push rod 101, the second horizontal push rod 102, and the vertical push rod 103 for controlling their extension and retraction; connected to the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnetic ball joint 108 for controlling its locking and unlocking; connected to the drive motor of the electric telescopic column 301 for controlling lifting and lowering; connected to the first and second micro motors of the breast support telescopic sliding block for controlling sliding and extension; connected to the micro electric push rod of the telescopic adjuster 310 for adjusting the breast support diameter; connected to the stepper motor of the electric rotary table 312 for controlling the rotation angle; and connected to the electromagnet of the locking device 107 for controlling the roller locking. The controller 400 also integrates an inertial measurement unit for sensing changes in the device's attitude.

[0046] The storage module stores the coordinate position and extension / retraction dimensions of each actuator recorded during the initial debugging. Specifically, when manually adjusted to the ideal pose, the controller 400 reads the encoder values ​​of all motors and the locking angle of the electromagnetic ball joint 108, packages this data into a preset mode file, and stores it in the storage module. The processor, upon receiving a one-key reset command, retrieves the data from the storage module and calculates the target position to which each actuator needs to move using an inverse kinematics algorithm. It then sends control commands to drive all actuators to move synchronously to the target pose. The inverse kinematics algorithm employs a closed-loop iterative approach, feeding back the actual attitude after each movement via an inertial measurement unit, comparing it with the target attitude, and making corrections until the error is less than a set threshold.

[0047] Special note: In this embodiment, all areas in direct contact with the infant have rounded edges to prevent sharp corners from scratching the infant. In this embodiment, all electrically driven components are equipped with rechargeable batteries for power supply. The rechargeable batteries can be powered by direct charging or solar charging.

[0048] In this embodiment, the specific operation process is as follows:

[0049] Before first use, push the device to the bedside or sofa side using the universal sliding casters 106, then activate the locking device 107 via the controller 400 to energize the electromagnet, causing the locking pin to engage with the wheel hub teeth and secure the device. The mother can then sit in front of the device and enter the manual adjustment mode via the controller 400.

[0050] First, the controller 400 controls the four vertical push rods 103 to differentially extend and retract, adjusting the overall height and tilt angle of the baby support chamber. For example, by extending the two front vertical push rods 103 and shortening the two rear ones, the baby chamber is tilted with its head higher than its feet, making it easier for the baby to latch onto the nipple. The controller 400 then energizes and releases the electromagnetic ball joint 108, allowing the baby chamber to be manually rotated to face the mother's chest, and then the power is cut off to lock it in place.

[0051] The controller 400 controls the extension and retraction of the first horizontal push rod 101 and the second horizontal push rod 102 to adjust the length and width of the bottom support frame, so that the equipment can be adapted to the placement space and at the same time ensure stability.

[0052] Then adjust the height of the electric telescopic column 301 so that the breast support sliding frame 302 is at a level roughly equivalent to the mother's breast. Control the sliding base 307 of the left and right breast support telescopic sliding blocks to slide along the breast support sliding groove 306, and simultaneously control the telescopic arm 308 to extend and retract, so that the two adaptive telescopic breast supports 304 move directly below the breasts on both sides. Adjust the distance between the two arc plates 309 using the telescopic adjuster 310 so that the adaptive telescopic breast supports 304 perfectly support the lower edge of the breast, at which point the nipple is precisely aligned with the height and position of the baby's mouth. Attach a disposable adhesive anti-pollution sticker to the inner top of the arc plate 309.

[0053] When all positions are adjusted to the most comfortable state for the mother and the most natural latch for the baby, the controller 400 issues a storage command. The system records and saves the operating parameters of all current actuators (including the extension of the first horizontal push rod 101, the second horizontal push rod 102, and the vertical push rod 103, the locking angle of the electromagnetic ball joint 108, the height of the electric telescopic column 301, the sliding position of the sliding base 307, the extension of the telescopic arm 308, the spacing value of the telescopic adjuster 310, and the rotation angle of the electric turntable 312) as a preset mode and assigns a mode name.

[0054] When the baby needs to be fed, the mother places the baby inside the rectangular support flexible cloth 201. Pull out the flexible fixing strap 316 so that it wraps around the baby's waist and abdomen, and insert the connector 317 into the fixing strap buckle. A "click" sound indicates that it is locked, thus achieving auxiliary fixation of the baby's torso.

[0055] Select the corresponding preset mode on the controller 400 and click the one-click start button. The processor reads the preset data from the storage module, calculates the target position of each actuator through the inverse kinematics algorithm, and then sends control commands synchronously. The first horizontal push rod 101, the second horizontal push rod 102, and the vertical push rod 103 begin to extend and retract. The electromagnetic ball joint 108 is energized to release and then lock. The electric telescopic column 301 rises and falls, the breast support telescopic sliding block slides and extends and retracts, the telescopic adjuster 310 adjusts the spacing, and the electric rotating platform 312 rotates. All actions are completed in coordination within a few seconds, accurately reproducing the optimal breastfeeding position stored for the first time. At this time, the baby's body is stably supported, the tilt angle is precise, and the head is exactly in the position of the breast supported by the adaptive telescopic breast support 304.

[0056] Place the milk collection container into the annular jaws 313 of the milk collection container holder 305, tighten the locking knob, and clamp it securely using the elastic cushioning pad 314. Fine-tune the rotation angle of the electric rotating platform 312 using the controller 400, ensuring the flared opening of the milk collection container fits against the empty breast, and begin synchronous milk collection. Throughout the breastfeeding process, the mother's hands are completely free; she can read, use a mobile phone, or rest with her eyes closed.

[0057] When used outdoors and privacy is required, pull out the fixed cover curtain 207 from the roller blind box 206 to cover the space above the entire device. Hang the connector at the front edge of the fixed cover curtain 207 on the cover curtain fixing buckle 208 to form a semi-enclosed private space to protect the mother's privacy.

[0058] During breastfeeding, if the baby swallows too quickly or the mother feels uncomfortable, adjustments can be made in real time via the controller 400. For example, the extension of the vertical push rod 103 can be adjusted to lower the baby's head height, or the nipple support telescopic slider can be adjusted to correct the nipple alignment. All adjustments take effect immediately.

[0059] After breastfeeding, remove the milk container, press the release button on the connector 317, pull the connector 317 out of the retaining strap buckle, untie the flexible retaining strap 316, and take out the baby. A reset command is issued via the controller 400 to reset all actuators to their initial retracted state, reducing the device's size. The locking device 107 is released, and the device is pushed to its storage position.

[0060] During equipment use, the controller 400 monitors the operating status of each actuator in real time. If the motor stalls or the position is out of tolerance, it will immediately issue an alarm and stop the operation to ensure safety.

[0061] This embodiment, through the aforementioned structural design and control process, achieves comprehensive assistance in the mother-infant breastfeeding process. The four independent drive structures at the corners of the bottom support assembly, combined with the electromagnetic ball joint, enable the infant chamber to achieve precise adjustment in six degrees of freedom; the independent design of the breast support assembly and the infant chamber ensures the accuracy and stability of nipple alignment; the adaptive telescopic breast support can automatically adjust its diameter according to breast size, and, together with the milk container holder, achieves simultaneous bilateral milk collection; the retractable curtain meets outdoor privacy needs; and the controller's learning and memory function allows for one-click restoration of a personalized breast position after each feeding.

[0062] This embodiment utilizes an adjustable base consisting of four interconnected three-way electrically telescopic blocks. Combined with differential control of an electromagnetic ball joint and a vertical push rod, it enables height adjustment and multi-directional tilting of the infant support chamber, allowing the infant to latch onto the nipple in the most comfortable position, completely relieving maternal fatigue. A breast support component independent of the infant chamber, utilizing the multi-dimensional adjustment capability of the telescopic sliding blocks and the adaptive telescopic breast support's diameter adjustment function, can precisely support breasts of different sizes. Simultaneously, the milk container holder and the electrically rotating platform allow for simultaneous milk collection from idle breasts, effectively preventing milk waste and the embarrassment of spillage. The controller's built-in storage module and processor can save the optimal posture parameters obtained during initial debugging. Subsequent use allows for a one-click reset of all actuators to the target posture, enabling rapid replication of individualized breastfeeding postures and solving the problem of achieving a uniformly comfortable posture for mothers and infants of different body types. The use of a roller shutter box and fixed privacy curtains allows for the rapid creation of a private space for outdoor breastfeeding, ensuring privacy during the breastfeeding process. In summary, this device systematically solves the technical problems of traditional breastfeeding methods from multiple dimensions, including posture adjustment, breast support, synchronous milk collection, individual adaptation, and privacy protection, significantly improving the breastfeeding experience and alleviating the mother's tension and fatigue.
