[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] See Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an air pump for a breast pump having the following structure is provided, comprising a pump body 1, comprising a motor 11 and a drive connecting rod 12 connected to the output shaft of motor 11, a pressure chamber 13, and a piston 14 slidably fitted within the pressure chamber 13. An air exchange assembly 17 is provided at the end of the pressure chamber 13. The drive connecting rod 12 drives the piston 14 up and down, enabling a large stroke, thereby generating a large negative pressure in the entire air pump and enhancing suction. Because the piston 14 is not connected to components within the pressure chamber 13, vibration is reduced during operation. The pump body 1 also comprises an eccentric wheel 15 driven by the output shaft of motor 11, the drive connecting rod 12 being drivably connected to the eccentric wheel 15, and a vibration plate 16 connected to the eccentric wheel 15. The eccentric wheel 15 can move the drive connecting rod 12, ultimately achieving up and down movement of the piston 14. The vibration plate 16 connected to the eccentric wheel 15 can vibrate the entire pump, thereby achieving vibration of the pump body.

[0028] See Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the ventilation component 17 includes a plurality of one-way ventilation valves, which can perform ventilation operations.

[0029] See Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the pump body 1 further includes a silent valve 2 connected to the pump body 1, the silent valve 2 including a valve body 21 and a silencer chamber 22 connected to the valve body 21, the valve body 21 being provided with a communication port 23 communicating with the silencer chamber 22. By providing the silent valve 2 with the silencer chamber 22, not only can the operating sound of the silent valve 2 be greatly reduced, but also the various channels are directly connected through the sealed silencer chamber 22, thereby reducing the number of connected pipes on the pump body 1, i.e., there will be no pipe-transmitted noise and vibration, and the noise can be isolated in the silencer chamber 22. The silencer chamber 22 can be set to a larger volume, and has strong overall rigidity and sound insulation performance. The silencer chamber 22 and the valve body 21 are combined into one, which not only greatly reduces the number of connected pipes but also greatly reduces the overall volume, facilitates the design of the pump, and is more reliable.

[0030] See Figure 6-Figure 8As shown, the end of the muffler chamber 22 connected to the valve body 21 is provided with an opening 24. The valve body 21 is sealed on the opening 24, and the communication port 23 is connected to the opening 24. This provides a good sealing effect and facilitates the installation of the valve body 21. The opening 24 of the muffler chamber 22 is provided with a sealing groove 25, and the valve body 21 is provided with a sealing protrusion 26 that matches the sealing groove 25, which improves the sealing effect and has a positioning function.

[0031] That is, the silencer chamber 22 is directly connected to the cover plate 3 and is connected to the internal channel. That is, the silencer chamber 22 can be connected to the cover plate 3 separately or in an integrated design, reducing components and achieving better noise control effects. The silencer chamber 22 is provided with a left cavity 221 and a right cavity 222. The ventilation channel 31 is provided with a left channel 311 that is connected to the left cavity 221, and the ventilation channel 31 is provided with a right channel 312 that is connected to the right cavity 222. The two chambers are connected to the channel inside the cover plate 3, that is, connected to the air inlet and outlet of the pump body 1. The connecting port 23 is connected to the left cavity 221, enabling the silent valve 2 to control the airflow in the left cavity 221. The right cavity 222 is provided with an air vent 4, which enables the right cavity 222 to communicate with the outside world. The inner wall of the silencer chamber 22 is provided with a silencer, such as a silencer membrane covering the inner wall, or a silencer cotton filled in the silencer chamber 22, which can greatly improve the sound absorbing effect.

[0032] See Figures 1-8 As shown, a breast pump having the following structure is provided, including any of the above-mentioned air pumps for breast pumps. By driving the connecting rod 12 to move the piston 14 up and down, a large stroke can be achieved, thereby generating a large negative pressure in the entire air pump and providing a strong suction force for the breast pump. Because the piston 14 is not connected to the components within the pressure chamber 13, vibration during operation is reduced.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
