When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the milk suction assembly provided by the embodiment of the utility model is applied to a breast pump 100, comprising a milk storage container 10, a milk guide 20 and a sealing member 30; the milk storage container 10 comprises a container body 11 and a container cover 12, the container cover 12 and the container body 11 are enclosed to form a milk storage cavity 13; the milk guide 20 is connected to the side of the container cover 12 facing the milk storage cavity 13 or is connected to a fixing member of the breast pump 100 and passes through the container cover 12 to extend into the milk storage cavity 13, and the milk guide 20 has a milk guide channel 21; wherein the container cover 12 is provided with a milk pouring port 121 communicating with the milk storage cavity 13, and the sealing member 30 is used to seal the milk pouring port 121.

[0039] When the breast pump 100 is used to express milk, the milk is sucked into the milk guide channel 21 and then flows into the milk storage chamber 13 for temporary storage; when the breast pump 100 has finished sucking the milk in one or both breasts, the milk in the milk storage chamber 13 is poured out through the milk pouring port 121.

[0040] According to the above technical solution, a milk guide 20 is provided, and the milk guide 20 is provided with a milk guide channel 21, so that milk can be guided; the milk guide 20 is connected to the side of the container cover 12 facing the milk storage chamber 13 or connected to the fixing part of the breast pump 100 and extends into the milk storage chamber 13 through the container cover 12, so that when the breast pump 100 is sucking milk, the container cover 12 faces the side of the breast, and the sucked milk can flow into the milk storage chamber 13 through the milk guide channel 21, so that the user can observe the flow of milk in the milk guide channel 21 through the container body 11 and the milk guide 20 during the milk sucking process; by providing a milk pouring port 121 and a sealing member 30, the milk temporarily stored in the milk storage chamber 13 can be poured out through the milk pouring port 121, and the milk can be poured out through the sealing member 3 0 Seal the milk pouring port 121. When it is necessary to pour milk from the milk storage cavity 13, remove the sealing member 30 to realize the pouring of milk. When the breast pump 100 is sucking milk, the sealing member 30 is sealed on the milk pouring port 121 to prevent milk from flowing out of the milk pouring port 121. By arranging the milk pouring port 121 on the container cover 12, since the container cover 12 is arranged toward the breast when the breast pump 100 is sucking milk, and is not on the path for the user to view the milk guide channel 21, the milk pouring port 121 is also not located on the path for the user to view the milk guide channel 21. Therefore, the sealing member 30 sealing the milk pouring port 121 will not block the user's sight, and the user can quickly and effectively obtain problems existing in the use of the breast pump 100 according to the flow of milk.

[0041] Therefore, the milk suction assembly provided in this embodiment, by setting the milk pouring port 121 on the container cover 12, avoids the seal 30 blocking the user's view of the milk guide channel 21. The user can quickly and effectively obtain problems that exist during the use of the breast pump 100, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0042] As an embodiment, when the breast pump 100 is placed on the breast, the milk pouring port 121 is located above the milk guide 20. When milk flows from the milk guide channel 21 to the milk storage chamber 13, due to the effect of gravity, it flows to the bottom of the milk guide channel 21. When the milk pouring port 121 is set below the milk guide 20 (i.e., below the milk guide channel 21), the milk will quickly rise to the water level where the milk pouring port 121 is located. If the sealing member 30 is not tightly sealed, milk is easy to leak from the milk pouring port 121, which not only affects the user's experience, but also wastes milk. This embodiment can effectively avoid the above situation by setting the milk pouring port 121 above the milk guide 20.

[0043] See also Figures 3 to 5 The container cover 12 includes a first plate 122 and a second plate 123. The second plate 123 extends from the first plate 122 in a direction gradually approaching the milk storage cavity 13, and the angle between the second plate 123 and the first plate 122 is greater than 90° and less than 180°; the milk guide 20 is connected to the first plate 122, and the milk pouring port 121 is opened in the second plate 123. When the breast pump 100 is placed on the breast, the second plate 123 is located above the first plate 122. By such a setting, when the breast pump 100 is placed on the breast, the milk pouring port 121 is located above the milk guide channel 21, and the milk pouring port 121 is tilted upward, which can effectively avoid the situation that milk leakage occurs when the sealing member 30 is not tightly sealed; in addition, this setting method can make the milk more concentratedly accommodated below the milk pouring port 121, and make the milk easier to pour out through the milk pouring port 121.

[0044] As an embodiment, one end of the seal 30 can detachably seal the milk pouring port 121, and the other end is connected to the container cover 12. Specifically, the other end of the seal 30 is connected to the side of the container cover 12 away from the milk storage chamber 13. In this way, the user can make the seal 30 seal the milk pouring port 121 or open the milk pouring port 121 according to actual conditions; in addition, when the seal 30 is removed and the milk pouring port 121 is opened, the other end of the seal 30 is connected to the container cover 12 to avoid the seal 30 from being lost. Of course, in other embodiments, the seal 30 can detachably seal the milk pouring port 121, and when the seal 30 is removed from the milk pouring port 121, it is also possible for the seal 30 to be separated from the container cover 12.

[0045] As an embodiment, the seal 30 and the container cover 12 are integrally injection molded. In this way, not only can the loss of the seal 30 be avoided, but also the production efficiency of the milk suction assembly is accelerated. Specifically, the seal 30 is made of a soft rubber material, and the container cover 12 is made of a hard rubber material. The seal 30 and the container cover 12 are integrally injection molded by a soft and hard rubber integral injection molding process. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the seal 30 and the container cover 12 can be assembled after being manufactured separately.

[0046] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The milk storage container 10 further includes a sealing ring 14, which is disposed between the container body 11 and the container cover 12. The sealing ring 14 is provided to enhance the sealing performance of the milk storage cavity 13, thereby preventing milk from leaking out from between the container body 11 and the container cover 12. Preferably, the sealing ring 14 and the container cover 12 are integrally injection molded, which reduces the number of parts and the probability of parts loss, and accelerates the production efficiency and assembly efficiency of the milk suction assembly.

[0047] See also Figures 3 to 5 The end of the milk guide piece 20 facing the milk storage chamber 13 is provided with a milk flow port 22, and the milk flow port 22 is used to connect the milk guide channel 21 and the milk storage chamber 13. In this way, it is beneficial for the user to check the flow of milk in the entire milk guide channel 21.

[0048] As an embodiment, when the breast pump 100 is placed on the breast, at least the upper half of the container body 11 and at least the upper half of the milk guide 20 are both made of optically transparent materials. In this way, when the breast pump 100 is sucking milk, the user can check the situation inside the milk guide channel 21. Preferably, the container body 11 and the milk guide 20 are both made of transparent materials.

[0049] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The milk pump assembly further includes a diaphragm support 40, which is connected to the side of the container cover 12 facing the milk storage cavity 13 or connected to the fixing part of the breast pump 100 and extends into the milk storage cavity 13 through the container cover 12; when the breast pump 100 is placed on the breast, the diaphragm support 40 is located below the milk guide 20. This arrangement can effectively prevent the diaphragm support 40 from blocking the user from viewing the milk guide channel 21. The diaphragm support 40 has a negative pressure cavity connected to the milk guide channel 21. When the pump body of the breast pump 100 generates negative pressure in the negative pressure cavity, it is transmitted to the milk guide channel 21 to achieve milk suction.

[0050] As an embodiment, the diaphragm support 40 is arranged side by side with the milk guide 20. In this way, the space in the milk storage container 10 is effectively utilized, so that the milk storage cavity 13 has as much space as possible to carry milk.

[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The milk pump assembly further includes a mainframe housing 50 and a breast shield 60. The mainframe housing 50 is disposed between the container cover 12 and the breast shield 60. The breast shield 60 is used to cover the breast. When the milk guide 20 and the diaphragm support 40 are connected to the fixing part of the breast pump 100, the fixing part can be the mainframe housing 50 or the breast shield 60, that is, the milk guide 20 and the diaphragm support 40 can be connected to the mainframe housing 50 or the breast shield 60.

[0052] For further information, see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention also provides a breast pump 100, comprising the above-mentioned milk suction assembly. By adopting the above-mentioned milk suction assembly, when the breast pump 100 is used to suck milk, the seal 30 will not block the user from viewing the milk guide channel 21, so that the user can quickly and effectively obtain problems existing in the use of the breast pump 100.

[0053] As an embodiment, the breast pump 100 further includes a pump body and a solenoid valve, both of which are arranged in the main housing 50. When the pump body is working, the solenoid valve is not working, and the pump body sucks away air to generate negative pressure; when the solenoid valve is working, the pump body is not working, and the solenoid valve is opened to allow air to flow into the negative pressure chamber.

[0054] Embodiment 2:

[0055] The difference between the milking assembly and the breast pump 100 provided in this embodiment and those in the first embodiment lies in the different arrangement of the sealing member 30, which is specifically reflected in that: in the first embodiment, the sealing member 30 and the container cover 12 are integrally injection molded; while in this embodiment, the sealing member 30, the sealing ring 14 and the container cover 12 are integrally injection molded.

[0056] In this embodiment, one end of the sealing member 30 detachably seals the milk pouring port 121, and the other end passes through the container cover 12 and is connected to the sealing ring 14, and the sealing member 30, the sealing ring 14 and the container cover 12 are integrally injection molded. This arrangement reduces the number of parts and the probability of parts loss, and on the other hand, speeds up the production efficiency and assembly efficiency of the milk pump assembly.
