Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a breast milk thawing device. Background Art

[0002] In daily obstetric care, mothers often need to store frozen breast milk in advance for various practical needs in order to provide adequate nutrition for their babies in the future. Frozen breast milk needs to be thawed before it can be fed to babies. There are two main existing thawing methods, one is thawing at room temperature and the other is thawing by heating; thawing at room temperature usually involves thawing breast milk outdoors at room temperature, but this method takes a long time to thaw; while thawing by heating, the heating temperature is difficult to control, and too high a temperature may destroy the precious nutrients in breast milk, thereby reducing its overall nutritional value, and the quality of breast milk thawed by heating will be affected, and it needs to be drunk all at once and should not be refrigerated again, but babies have limited appetites and often have a lot of breast milk left over, resulting in a low utilization rate of breast milk. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a breast milk thawing device which can improve the utilization rate of breast milk and the efficiency of thawing breast milk, so as to solve the technical problems that the nutritional components of breast milk are easily destroyed when the breast milk is heated and thawed, and the thawing time at room temperature is long.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A breast milk thawing device comprises a thawing box, a water storage tank and a box cover; the water storage tank is located at the bottom end of the thawing box; the box cover is hinged to the thawing box to facilitate sealed thawing and accelerate thawing efficiency; a normal temperature thawing tank and a heating thawing tank are provided in the thawing box; an insulating layer is provided between the normal temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank; a circulation pipeline and a heating device are provided on the outside of the heating thawing tank; a circulation pump is provided inside the water storage tank; one end of the circulation pipeline is wound around the outside of the heating thawing tank, and the other end is connected to the circulation pump inside the water storage tank; the heating device is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the water storage tank, the heating device is externally connected to a power supply, and is heated by electric heating, and the heating temperature is adjusted by an external controller single-chip microcomputer.

[0006] Furthermore, the room temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank are both provided with a plurality of chutes and partitions; the chutes match the partitions; the room temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank can be divided into storage compartments by the chutes and partitions. The room temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank are divided into a plurality of storage compartments by the chutes and partitions, and the single breast milk bags are placed to avoid contact between the breast milk, which leads to the phenomenon of slow thawing efficiency of the breast milk inside, and the chutes and partitions facilitate the flow of water, thereby improving the efficiency of room temperature thawing of breast milk.

[0007] Furthermore, a sealing strip is provided on the inner side of the box cover; the sealing strip is consistent in size with the notches of the room temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank. The sealing strip can seal the room temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank to keep the internal temperature stable, reduce external influences, and accelerate the thawing of breast milk.

[0008] Furthermore, the water storage tank is provided with a cold water tank and a hot water tank; the cold water tank is located at the bottom of the normal temperature thawing tank; the hot water tank is located at the bottom of the heating thawing tank. The water in the cold water tank flows in the normal temperature thawing tank through a circulation pump to thaw the breast milk, and the water in the hot water tank flows and circulates outside the heating thawing tank through a circulation pump and a circulation pipeline to heat and thaw the breast milk inside.

[0009] Furthermore, the circulation pump includes a circulation pump A and a circulation pump B which are installed in the cold water tank and the hot water tank respectively; the circulation pipeline is connected to the circulation pump B in the hot water tank; openings are provided on both sides of the normal temperature thawing tank; the circulation pump A inside the cold water tank is connected to the normal temperature thawing tank through the openings. The water in the cold water tank flows into the normal temperature thawing tank through the circulation pump A and the openings, and then flows out from the openings on the other side, and the breast milk is thawed by the mild temperature of the flowing water. The water in the hot water tank circulates outside the heating thawing tank through the circulation pump B and the circulation pipeline, transfers the temperature and enters the heating thawing tank to thaw the breast milk.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating temperature of the heating device is adjustable within a range of 30 to 39 degrees Celsius. The heating temperature range of the heating device is 30 to 39 degrees Celsius, which is close to human body temperature and is most comfortable for infants, while also maintaining the nutrients in breast milk.

[0011] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0012] When in use, place the large-capacity and small-capacity bagged breast milk in the storage compartments of the normal temperature thawing tank and the heated thawing tank respectively, cover the box lid, seal the normal temperature thawing tank and the heated thawing tank with a sealing strip to keep the internal temperature stable, adjust the water inside the heating hot water tank of the heating device, turn on the circulation pump, and the water in the cold water tank flows into the normal temperature thawing tank through the circulation pump A and the opening, and then flows out from the opening on the other side. The breast milk is thawed by the mild temperature of the flowing water, and the water in the hot water tank circulates outside the heated thawing tank through the circulation pump B and the circulation pipeline, transfers the temperature into the heated thawing tank, and thaws the breast milk.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The utility model circulates the water in the water tank to the normal temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank respectively through a circulating pump to thaw the breast milk. The circulating water in the heating thawing tank is heated by a heating device to be thawed in a water bath, and the breast milk in the normal temperature thawing tank is thawed at normal temperature, which is convenient for thawing breast milk in two ways. A large volume of breast milk can be thawed at normal temperature, which is convenient for refrigerating it when it is not finished and used for the next meal, thereby improving the utilization rate and convenience of breast milk; a small volume of breast milk is heated by a circulating pipe outside the heating thawing tank, which effectively improves the efficiency of thawing breast milk. The hot water does not contact the breast milk, which can avoid the phenomenon that when the heating device is damaged, the hot water temperature is too high, resulting in damage to the nutritional components of the breast milk.

[0015] 2. The cold water tank and the hot water tank of the water storage tank of the utility model are respectively equipped with a circulation pump A and a circulation pump B, and the circulating flowing water is used to thaw the breast milk, which can effectively improve the efficiency of thawing the breast milk.

[0016] 3. The room temperature thawing tank and the heating thawing tank of the utility model are divided into a plurality of storage compartments by slide grooves and partitions to store breast milk of different capacities. The storage compartments can store single bags of breast milk to improve thawing efficiency.

[0017] 4. The temperature of the heating device of the utility model can be controlled between 30 and 39 degrees Celsius, which is convenient for thawing the breast milk in the heating and thawing tank, while avoiding high temperature from destroying the nutrients in the breast milk.
