Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of massage appliances, in particular to a postpartum lactation massage device. Background Art

[0002] The hospital advocates breastfeeding for several reasons, including that breast milk is rich in nutrients and easily digested and absorbed by infants; that the various antibodies contained in breast milk help enhance infants' ability to resist disease; that specific ingredients in breast milk, such as taurine, help promote the infant's brain development and vision development; that the ingredients in breast milk help reduce the risk of allergies caused by infant feeding; and that breastfeeding is extremely helpful in promoting parent-child relationships and postpartum recovery for mothers. Some studies even suggest that breastfeeding can help reduce the risk of female diseases such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer in mothers.

[0003] The key factors affecting postpartum breastfeeding include insufficient breast milk secretion. An important reason for insufficient breast milk secretion is that the newborn baby does not have sufficient sucking strength, which ultimately leads to insufficient stimulation of the mother's breasts, thereby affecting the amount of breast milk secretion and even causing gradual milk withdrawal. The solution to this problem is to temporarily use a breast pump to enhance breast stimulation; important reasons for insufficient breast milk secretion also include congenital physiological reasons. For example, when the mother's milk ducts are blocked, they need to be cleared through lactation massage, which generally can achieve a certain lactation effect.

[0004] Lactation massage is a massage method that achieves the purpose of breast dredging through physical stimulation. It is generally performed by a professional lactation masseur or completed through a lactation massager. Existing economical handheld lactation massagers that can be used by mothers themselves generally use vibration and heat compress to stimulate the breasts to achieve lactation, including lactation massagers with a block structure. The method of use is to attach the lactation massager to the breast. The lactation massager provides vibration stimulation and heat stimulation to the breast. Such a lactation massager can effectively improve breast blood circulation and improve local congestion and agglomeration, but it does not have the pushing and massage function that conforms to the milk ducts. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to improve the lactation-promoting massage instrument and provides a postpartum lactation-promoting massage device. The device can not only push and massage the mammary ducts, but also perform targeted massage on local congestion and agglomeration.

[0006] The specific technical solution is: a postpartum lactation massage device, comprising a cylinder, a flat head is provided at the front end of the cylinder, a roller is provided at the front end of the flat head, and the roller is fixed to the flat head via a wheel shaft, the axis of the wheel shaft is parallel to the length direction of the flat head, and an electric heating rod is provided in the wheel shaft;

[0007] The rear end of the cylinder is provided with a rear cover, which is a shell structure with a middle portion protruding backwards. The rear cover also includes a polarization motor installed at the rear end of the cylinder and a battery installed in the middle of the cylinder.

[0008] This solution provides a handheld lactation massage device, which is specifically used to push and massage the mammary ducts and to dissipate local congestion and lumps on the breast. The specific method of use of this solution is as follows: the roller is used to push and massage the mammary ducts. Specifically, after finding the mammary duct, the roller is pressed on the breast where the mammary duct is located, and then the cylinder is pushed and pulled so that the roller rolls along the extension direction of the mammary duct to achieve the purpose of unblocking the mammary duct; the polarization motor is used to make the back cover vibrate at a set frequency. When there is local congestion and lumps on the breast, after finding the location of the lump, the back cover is pressed onto the lump, and the vibration generated by the polarization motor achieves the purpose of dispersing the congestion and lumps.

[0009] At the same time, to optimize the touch of the roller, this solution sets an electric heating rod in the wheel axle, and the wheel axle is located at the center of the roller. When the electric heating rod heats up, the heat is transferred in all directions to the roller through the wheel axle, and each wheel surface position of the roller is heated. According to the set heating temperature, when the heated roller contacts the breast, the cold feeling can be avoided, and the heat of the roller can also promote blood circulation in the breast.

[0010] At the same time, a battery is also provided in this solution, which is used to power the polarization motor and the heating rod. In this way, the device can be used without plugging in an external power supply, thereby improving the convenience of use for mothers.

[0011] At the same time, this solution also provides a flat head and a cylinder. The cylinder is used to accommodate internal parts of the device, such as batteries, polarization motors, control motherboards, etc., and for the user to hold the device. The flat head is a structure with a smaller size at the front end of the cylinder. When using the roller to push the mammary duct, the smaller flat head can enable the main part of the device to avoid other positions of the breast, avoiding obstruction to pushing and pulling the cylinder.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, the front end of the flat head is provided with a groove with a notch facing the front of the flat head, the wheel axle spans the groove, the rear end of the roller is located in the groove, and the front end of the roller is located outside the groove.

[0013] The above grooves are used to cover part of the roller, so that when the electric heating rod is used, the grooves can effectively reduce the heat loss and waste on the roller.

[0014] In a specific embodiment, it further includes a temperature measuring device disposed in the groove.

[0015] The above temperature measuring device is used to obtain the temperature in the groove. In this way, the surface temperature of the roller affects the temperature inside the groove, and the measured value of the temperature measuring device reflects the temperature of the roller, thereby improving the convenience of use of the device. For example, when the electric heating rod is powered on, the temperature measuring device detects that the temperature inside the groove reaches the set value, and can prompt the user through sound, screen display, light, etc. that the roller heating is completed.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, the number of the rollers is three, and the three rollers are arranged on the axle at intervals;

[0017] In the wheel set formed by three rollers, the two rollers arranged at the ends of the wheel set have the same wheel diameter, and the wheel diameter of the roller arranged at the ends of the wheel set is larger than the wheel diameter of the roller arranged in the middle of the wheel set.

[0018] In this solution, three rollers form a wheel set, and the wheel diameters of the rollers on both sides are equal, and the wheel diameters of the rollers on both sides are larger than the wheel diameter of the roller arranged in the middle, which is used to achieve the following purposes: the roller located in the middle of the wheel set is used to squeeze the mammary ducts, and the rollers located on both sides of the wheel set serve as guide wheels in the process of pushing the mammary ducts. In the process of squeezing the mammary ducts, the middle roller presses on the mammary ducts, and the rollers on both sides are located on both sides of the mammary ducts. In this way, the shape and tissue structure characteristics of the breast can be utilized to limit the device to better move along the extension direction of the mammary duct, so as to achieve the purpose of rolling each position of the mammary duct along the shape of the mammary duct.

[0019] In a specific embodiment, a positioning sleeve is provided between adjacent rollers, and the wheel axle passes through the positioning sleeve.

[0020] In this solution, the relative positions of the rollers are positioned by the positioning sleeve. When manufacturing supporting products, different models of products can be configured with different positioning sleeve lengths, so that the products have different roller spacings to suit different users.

[0021] In a specific embodiment, the roller includes a metal wheel body and a rubber wheel surface wrapped around the metal wheel body.

[0022] In this solution, the metal wheel body is used to enhance heat transfer and store heat, and the rubber wheel surface is used to optimize the touch of the roller and achieve anti-slip when the roller rolls.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, the wheel surface of the roller is provided with anti-skid patterns, and the anti-skid patterns are strip patterns parallel to the axis of the wheel axle.

[0024] In this solution, the stripes are used to guide the forward direction of the roller, so that the user can more easily grasp and control the forward direction of the roller.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, the back cover is a plastic shell with a smooth outer surface, and the outer surface is a convex spherical surface.

[0026] In this solution, the plastic shell is used to reduce the cold feeling during the process of eliminating congestion and lumps. The spherical back cover surface has the characteristics of high position stability and the key pressing area can be concentrated on the congestion and lumps when pressing the breast.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the battery is a rechargeable battery.

[0028] The storage battery, which is a rechargeable battery, is used to solve the problem of convenience in use of the device. When the storage battery is exhausted, the power storage can be restored by charging and replenishing.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, the cylinder and the flat head are both flat bar structures, and the cross-sectional dimension of the flat head is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the cylinder.

[0030] This solution uses a mold with a simple configuration to produce the cylinder and the flat head. The flat strip structure makes it easy for the user to control the axial direction of the wheel axle, such as keeping the axial direction of the wheel axle in the tangential direction of the contact position with the roller on the breast.

[0031] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] In this solution, the roller is used to push and massage the mammary ducts, and the polarization motor is used to evacuate the silt and lumps. This solution is well suited for common problems of postpartum lactation massage.

[0033] When performing milk duct pushing and massaging, this program has the function of reducing the cold sensation and promoting breast blood circulation;

[0034] This solution uses batteries to store energy, making it easy to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
