Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of breast pumps, in particular to a nipple sealing structure for a breast pump. Background Art

[0002] A breast pump is a device used to hold milk, usually for babies. The breast pump itself does not contain a nipple, but only the bottle. However, manufacturers of baby breast pumps generally give a nipple with the bottle. In terms of raw materials, the baby bottles in the breast pump can be divided into: glass bottles, plastic bottles and silicone bottles. Among them, the materials of plastic bottles are generally PC, PP, PES, PPSU, and silicone.

[0003] At present, when using a breast pump, a nipple needs to be installed on it to facilitate the baby to suck milk. Most existing nipples are made of silicone. When installing, the silicone is directly snapped onto the breast pump. Since silicone has the ability of elastic deformation, when the silicone nipple is pulled, leakage is likely to occur at the joint.

[0004] Therefore, a sealing structure for a nipple of a breast pump is provided to solve the above-mentioned problem. Utility Model Content

[0015] Preferably, the wedge ring is engaged inside the wedge groove.

[0016] (III) Beneficial effects

[0017] 1. In the utility model, when installing the nipple body, first fix the installation sleeve on the breast pump, and then insert the docking tube at the bottom of the nipple body into the interior of the installation sleeve. When inserting, the outer surface of the silicone ring and the outer surface of the docking tube fit each other, so that the gap between the outer surface of the docking tube and the inner wall of the silicone sleeve is sealed to prevent leakage. At the same time, when the docking tube is inserted, the rubber ring is clamped inside the annular opening, so that the docking tube can be clamped and restrained to prevent falling off, and the sealing performance is enhanced.

[0018] 2. In the utility model, when it is necessary to clean it, it is only necessary to remove the silicone sleeve from the inside of the annular groove. In actual use, a wedge-shaped groove is opened at the bottom of the silicone sleeve, and a wedge-shaped ring is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the annular groove, so that the wedge-shaped ring is engaged with the inside of the wedge-shaped groove. Therefore, when the silicone sleeve is engaged with the inside of the annular groove, the silicone sleeve is pre-positioned and engaged, which is convenient for fixing the silicone sleeve.
