[0026] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the nipple of the present utility model;

[0027] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the nipple of the present utility model;

[0028] Figure 3 is the difference between the nipple of the present utility model and Figure 2 a cross-sectional view in a direction.

[0029] In the figure, 100 is a contoured nipple; 110 is an opening; 120 is a front end face; 130 is a rear end face; 140 is a side face; 200 is a protective piece. Specific embodiments

[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present utility model and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the technical method of the present utility model will be further described, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] As Figures 1-3 shown, the present utility model provides a nipple, comprising:

[0032] A contoured nipple 100 integrally connected to a protective piece 200. The contoured nipple 100 is for a child to suck and bite. The inside of the contoured nipple 100 is hollowly arranged to form a buffer cavity. The protective piece 200 has an opening 110 integrally connected to the buffer cavity;

[0033] The thickest ends of the front and rear end faces of the contoured nipple 100 are arranged in a staggered manner. Among them,

[0034] The thickest end of the front end face 120 of the contoured nipple 100 is close to the position of the opening 110;

[0035] The thickest end of the rear end face 130 of the contoured nipple 100 is close to the head end position of the contoured nipple 100.

[0036] That is to say, the contoured nipple 100 provided in this embodiment has an irregular structure. By setting the front and rear end faces 130 of the contoured nipple 100 to have an unequal thickness structure and the thickest ends of the two end faces to be arranged in a staggered manner, it can better adapt to the lip and oral cavity contours during the sucking of an infant, improving the fitting degree and comfort.

[0037] Preferably, the ratio range of the thickness of the thickest part to the thickness of the thinnest part of the front end face 120 and the rear end face 130 of the contoured nipple 100 is between 2.5:1 and 1.2:1. This ratio setting can adapt to the oral cavity structures of most infants and provide sufficient support during the sucking process without causing compression or discomfort.

[0038] Preferably, the thickness of the two side surfaces 140 of the shaped pacifier 100 remains consistent, and the thickness gradually increases from the opening 110 to the head end of the shaped pacifier 100. Keeping the thickness of the two side surfaces 140 the same can ensure the symmetry of the pacifier in the horizontal direction, which is beneficial to the baby's stable grip when sucking and the balanced distribution in the mouth, avoiding excessive pressure on one side.

[0039] Preferably, the thickness ratio of the thickest part to the thinnest part of the two sides 140 of the contoured pacifier 100 is in the range of 2.5:1 to 1.2:1. Such a ratio can better fit the upper and lower jaws of the baby, reduce pressure on other parts of the oral cavity, such as the tongue and gums, and thus improve comfort.

[0040] In addition, this thickness ratio can also prevent the contoured nipple 100 from being too thick and being scratched during the demolding process.

[0041] Preferably, the inner diameter width of the narrowest part of the shaped nipple 100 close to the protective sheet 200 is not greater than the inner diameter width of the widest part of the shaped nipple 100;

[0042] Or the inner diameter thickness of the narrowest part of one end of the shaped nipple 100 close to the protective sheet 200 is not greater than the inner diameter thickness of the thickest part of the shaped nipple 100 .

[0043] Such a design is to facilitate the mold core to be drawn out from the buffer cavity of the contoured nipple 100 during demoulding.

[0044] Furthermore, the ratio of the inner diameter width at the narrowest part of the contoured nipple 100 close to the protective sheet 200 to the inner diameter width at the widest part of the contoured nipple 100 is between 1.5:1 and 1:1;

[0045] Or the ratio of the inner diameter thickness at the narrowest part of the shaped pacifier 100 near the protective sheet 200 to the inner diameter thickness at the thickest part of the shaped pacifier 100 is between 1.5:1 and 1:1. This ratio design makes the pacifier easier for babies to bite and not easy to be damaged.

[0046] Preferably, the minimum outer diameter width of the contoured nipple 100 close to the protective sheet 200 is not greater than the outer diameter width of the contoured nipple at its widest position;

[0047] Or the minimum outer diameter width of the shaped nipple 100 close to the protective sheet 200 is not greater than the outer diameter thickness of the shaped nipple 100 at the widest position.

[0048] This design makes it easier to demould, and on the other hand, it makes it easier for babies to bite the nipple, and the nipple is not easily damaged.

[0049] Preferably, the width of the contoured nipple 100 gradually increases and then gradually decreases from the opening 110 to the tip of the contoured nipple 100, which helps to reduce the amount of air swallowed by the baby during sucking, thereby reducing the risk of flatulence and discomfort.

[0050] Preferably, the distance from the tip of the nipple to the opening 110 is less than 3.5 cm.

[0051] Preferably, the tip of the nipple is skewed towards one side along the central axis direction of the opening 110. Such a design can make the positioning of the nipple in the baby's mouth more natural, and the overall design is more ergonomic. In actual use, babies like the contoured nipple 100 with this structure more.

[0052] In addition, the protective piece 200 is arranged to arc outwards away from the contoured nipple 100. The contoured nipple 100 is located on the convex surface of the protective piece 200. The concave surface of the protective piece 200 is connected to the buffer cavity through the opening 110. Such a design can ensure that when the baby sucks and bites the nipple, there is a certain gap between the protective piece 200 and the baby's face, avoiding direct pressure on the baby's cheek or nose and reducing skin indentations or discomfort that may be caused by long-term use.

[0053] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed by the above technical means, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. The above is the specific implementation manner of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and retouches can be made, and these improvements and retouches are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0054] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0055] In addition, in the present utility model, descriptions such as "first", "second", "one", etc. are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

For example, "fixation" may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0057] In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
