Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of maternal and infant products technology, specifically a breast pump shield. Background Technology

[0002] A breast pump is an auxiliary tool that helps postpartum mothers express breast milk quickly and store it. It allows for timely breastfeeding when work or travel is inconvenient. However, existing breast pumps are relatively limited in function, and during the pumping process, mothers with different constitutions may experience slight breast pain, affecting the user experience and potentially impacting milk production. To address this, some have proposed adding a vibration massage function to breast pumps. For example, CN212854209 discloses a breast pump with a vibration massage function. This is a handheld breast pump that requires connecting a flexible tube and a conductive wire to control the vibration intensity, making it inconvenient to use. Furthermore, due to the wiring contact method, it is prone to snagging on the arm or other objects during use, causing poor contact and resulting in intermittent vibration massage, further affecting the user experience. CN111658859A discloses a wearable breast pump with vibration massage. The vibrating element of the breast pump is built into the main unit. The vibration can only be performed on the breast when the vibration is transmitted from the main unit to the breast bra. However, because the main unit and the breast bra are connected by a flexible connection, the vibration is significantly reduced when it is transmitted from the main unit to the breast bra, resulting in a weakened vibration and failing to achieve the effect of vibration massage.

[0003] Therefore, a breast pump that is simple in structure, easy to use, and provides direct massage to the breasts has become a pressing need in the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a wearable vibrating massage breast pump shield. It utilizes a vibrating element mounted on the shield to directly massage the breasts. The shield is simple in structure and easy to use. The vibration massage function can be used before, during, or after breast pumping, effectively relieving breast pain and discomfort. Furthermore, the vibration massage can stimulate and unblock milk ducts, increasing breast milk production.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: A wearable massage breast pump shield, characterized in that a breast pump shield has a breast pump hole in the middle, and the nipple is located at the breast pump hole during use. Negative pressure is used to pump milk from the breast through the breast pump hole. The breast pump shield has a massage part that contacts the breast, and a vibration massage unit is provided corresponding to the massage part. The vibration massage unit vibrates under the drive of an electric current. The shield body is flexible, and the vibration massage unit is embedded in the shield body. The vibration massage unit is a piezoelectric vibrating plate. The massage part includes protrusions evenly distributed on the breast pump shield. The protrusions are provided with granular contacts. An auxiliary massage protrusion is provided between adjacent massage parts in the circumferential direction. The breast pump shield has a first power supply port for connecting to an external controller, and the first power supply port is electrically connected to the vibration massage unit. The first power supply port has corresponding elastic contacts and a magnetically attached waterproof seat structure for magnetically engaging with an external power supply component for conduction.

[0006] This invention incorporates a vibration massage unit within the breast shield that comes into contact with the breast, providing direct massage and ensuring effective massage intensity while avoiding the reduced vibration often associated with soft connections. The vibration motor is embedded within the breast shield's housing, resulting in a compact structure, comfortable massage experience, and easy control of massage intensity and frequency via current. A readily accessible power port supplies power to the vibration massage unit, simplifying the structure, facilitating assembly and disassembly, and making it convenient to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0010] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the following embodiments do not limit the invention covered by the claims. Furthermore, not all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are necessary for the inventive solution.

[0011] Those skilled in the art will understand that all directional references (e.g., above, below, up, up, down, down, top, bottom, left, right, vertical, horizontal, etc.) are used descriptively in the drawings to aid the reader's understanding and do not imply (e.g., limitations on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims) a limitation on the location, orientation, or use of the invention. Furthermore, some vague terms (e.g., substantially, certain, generally, etc.) may refer to slight inaccuracies or minor deviations in conditions, quantities, values, or dimensions, some of which are within manufacturing tolerances or allowable limits.

[0012] Example like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a wearable vibrating massage breast pump includes a breast shield 1 for covering the breast. The breast shield 1 has a milk suction hole 2 in the middle. During use, the nipple is positioned at the milk suction hole 2, and negative pressure is used to suction milk from the breast through the milk suction hole 2. The breast shield 1 has a massage part that contacts the breast. The massage part is preferably positioned at a sensitive area of ​​the breast or acupoints that provide stimulation to enhance the massage effect. A vibration massage unit is provided corresponding to the massage part. In this embodiment, the vibration massage unit is a miniature vibration motor 3. The vibration motor 3 vibrates under the drive of an electric current, thereby causing the corresponding massage part to vibrate and thus massaging the breast. The breast shield 1 has a flexible body, for example, made of silicone or plastic, allowing the vibration motor 3 to be embedded within the body of the breast shield 1. This results in a compact and simple device structure, a comfortable vibration massage experience, and easy control of the massage intensity or frequency by controlling the current. Of course, the vibration massage unit can also be a piezoelectric vibrating element or other vibrating component.

[0013] Furthermore, the massage section consists of four protrusions 101 on the breast pump 1. The protrusions 101 are evenly distributed around the breast pump hole 2. The vibration motor 3 is embedded in the protrusions 101. Multiple raised particle contacts are provided on the protrusions 101 to enhance the stimulation effect of the massage.

[0014] Furthermore, a smaller auxiliary massage protrusion 102 is provided between adjacent protrusions 101 in the circumferential direction, so that when the breast pump 1 vibrates, the auxiliary massage protrusion 102 also plays an auxiliary massage role.

[0015] Furthermore, the breast pump 1 is provided with a first power supply port 103 for connecting to an external controller. The first power supply port 103 is electrically connected to the vibration motor 3 through a wire 4 so as to provide working current to the vibration motor 3 through the first power supply port 103.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a detachable main unit 5, which integrates a rechargeable battery as a power source, a controller for controlling electrical components, and a vacuum pump for evacuating the milk suction port 2. The main unit 5 is detachably mounted from the breast pump. The main unit 5 is provided with a second power supply port 501 electrically connected to the controller. When the main unit 5 is mounted on the breast pump, the first power supply port 103 and the second power supply port 501 make electrical contact, thereby supplying power to the vibration motor 3. The controller controls the operation of the vibration motor 3 by controlling the current of the vibration motor 3, for example, controlling its vibration intensity and frequency. The main unit 5 is provided with a control key 502, so that a person can operate the control key 502 with their fingers to control the working mode of the vibration motor 3. The first power supply port and the second power supply port are provided with corresponding elastic contacts to ensure electrical contact. The first power supply port and the second power supply port can be connected by a waterproof base, that is, the first power supply port and the second power supply port have different magnetic poles, and the two ports are tightly joined together by magnetic force. The magnetic attraction method can improve the connection tightness of the contacts, resulting in good waterproof performance and convenient disassembly and assembly. Figure 7 As shown, the control key positions can also be set with corresponding display interfaces, which can be LED displays, LCD displays, or LED indicator lights. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the controller can use MCU PWM to control different vibration frequencies and vibration levels, allowing users to select different vibration levels according to their own experience.

[0017] Furthermore, the interface on the host 5 displays the current vibration status via the vibration level indicator light, and allows users to switch and adjust the vibration intensity and frequency via the vibration control button.

[0018] Of course, the controller of the host 5 in this embodiment is also used to control the operation of the vacuum pump.

[0019] As one embodiment of this invention, the wearable vibrating massage breast pump includes a vibration device disposed on a speaker cover and electrically connected to a power supply device. In this embodiment, the vibration device is preferably a vibration motor.
