[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0017] Figure 1 The utility model is a structural schematic diagram of a movable nipple.
[0018] Figure 2 This is a schematic bottom view of a movable nipple of the present invention.
[0019] Figure 3 This is a schematic AA cross-sectional view of a movable nipple of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 3A movable nipple includes a nipple body 1, the nipple body including a suction head 11, an areola area 12 connected to the suction head 11, a base 13 connected to the areola area 12, and a movable module 14. The nipple body 1 is elastic, and the movable module 14 includes a nipple shield 141 located in the areola area 12, a hollow area 142 located between the areola area 12 and the base 13, and a guide groove 143 located on the areola area 12. The hollow area 142 is used to provide a rotational range of the nipple, and the guide groove 143 is used to provide a movable guide for the nipple in the height direction. The utility model provides a rotational range and a movable guide for the nipple in the height direction by arranging the hollow area 142 and the guide groove on the nipple, respectively, so that the nipple is movable, and the nipple will no longer bend due to changes in the milk suction angle, which will cause the milk suction channel to be blocked. This effectively improves the practicality of the nipple and also improves the user experience of the baby. With such a design, the hollow area 142 provides a deformation space for the nipple shield 141 to drive the nipple to rotate laterally, and the guide groove 143 provides guide support for fine-tuning the nipple up and down. When the baby applies irregular force to the nipple, the nipple is deformed due to its elasticity, and the nipple shield 141 deforms and rotates within the activity space provided by the hollow area 142, while the guide groove 143 deforms along the height direction. Therefore, the movable module 14 enables the nipple to achieve flexible rotation and fine-tuning in the height direction, thereby solving the problem of sucking difficulty caused by improper angle when the baby sucks.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3 A movable nipple, wherein the nipple shield 141 is disposed above the areola area 12, extending from the inside of the suction head 11 to the outside of the suction head 11 and from top to bottom. The upper end surface of the nipple shield 141 is curved. The addition of the nipple shield 141 to the areola area 12, and its extension from the inside of the suction head 11 to the outside and from top to bottom, can limit the deformation range of the nipple, preventing excessive deformation of the nipple from blocking the sucking channel. Furthermore, it can provide additional protection, preventing the infant from colliding with the relatively hard base 13 or the bottle mouth. Furthermore, the curved design of the nipple shield 141 can simulate the natural shape of the mother's breast, better fit the infant's oral structure, and provide the infant with a more realistic sucking experience that is closer to the feeling of natural breastfeeding, which helps reduce the discomfort of the infant transitioning from breastfeeding to bottle feeding.
[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3A movable nipple, wherein the guide portion 121 is provided on the lower side of the areola area 12, and the guide groove 143 is an annular groove 1431 provided on the guide portion 121. The guide portion 121 is provided on the lower side of the areola area 12 to provide support and positioning, ensuring that the nipple remains stable during use, while also controlling the range and direction of the nipple's movement. Furthermore, the design of the guide groove 143 as an annular groove 1431 can control the nipple's regular up and down deformation within a certain range of movement to adapt to the irregular and uneven force applied to the nipple by the infant during sucking, simulating the dynamic changes during real sucking, allowing the suction head 11 to remain stable in the infant's mouth, and avoiding the difficulty of sucking caused by changes in the infant's sucking angle or feeding angle, which may lead to air inhalation or choking. Therefore, the annular groove 1431 allows the nipple to more flexibly adapt to different sucking habits and strengths, increasing the infant's sucking comfort, while also helping to prevent the nipple from shifting or falling off, and improving the user experience.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 3 , a movable nipple, the hollow area 142 is the space enclosed by the inner side of the nipple shield 141 close to the base 13 and the outer side of the base 13 close to the nipple shield 141, the upper end surface of the base 13 is an arc surface, and the space of the hollow area 142 increases from top to bottom and from inside to outside. The design of the hollow area 142 provides space for the lateral movement of the pacifier, allowing the pacifier to rotate freely at different angles to adapt to the baby's different sucking postures. Compared with ordinary pacifiers, it reduces the sucking difficulty caused by improper sucking angles. The design of the hollow area 142 that increases from top to bottom and from inside to outside can ensure that when the pacifier is at different tilt angles, the hollow area 142 can provide a larger activity space for the movable module 14, preventing the pacifier from being compressed and affecting the sucking fluency. Furthermore, the curved surface design of the upper end face of the base 13 makes it fit the baby's chin contour more closely, reducing discomfort during use, and at the same time making the overall shape of the pacifier closer to the shape of the mother's breast, which can give the baby a more natural breastfeeding feeling and improve the baby's comfort.
[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3, a movable pacifier, wherein an annular protrusion 111 is provided on the inner side of the suction head 11. With such a design, the annular protrusion 111 simulates the texture of the nipple during breastfeeding, providing the baby with an experience closer to the real sucking feeling. Secondly, the annular protrusion 111 can also support the suction head 11. When the baby applies pressure on the suction head 11 when sucking, it may cause the suction head 11 to collapse, resulting in blockage of the sucking channel. Therefore, the annular protrusion 111 can support the suction head 11 and prevent the suction head 11 from collapsing when the baby sucks, resulting in blockage of the sucking channel, thereby improving the baby's sucking experience and the practicality of the pacifier.
[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3 A movable nipple, wherein the nipple shield 141 is provided with a plurality of raised points 1413 evenly distributed around the side of the suction head 11. The design of the raised points 1413 mimics the natural texture of the mother's nipple during breastfeeding, providing a more realistic and familiar sucking experience for the baby, helping the baby to smoothly transition between breastfeeding and bottle feeding. At the same time, during the baby's sucking process, the raised points 1413 can massage the inside of the baby's mouth, helping to promote the normal development of the baby's oral muscles. Furthermore, the raised points 1413 can increase the friction between the nipple and the baby's lips, helping the baby to better control the position of the nipple and reduce the risk of it slipping.
[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 A movable pacifier comprises a nipple shield 141 having a first area 1411 and a second area 1412, with a raised point 1413 located between the first area 1411 and the second area 1412. The first area 1411 occupies between one-third and two-thirds of the nipple shield 141's diameter. The design of the first area 1411 occupying between one-third and two-thirds of the nipple shield's diameter is based on ergonomic research, mimicking the design of a mother's breast. This ensures that the raised point 1413 is located in the most sensitive and effective sucking area of a baby's mouth, enhancing oral stimulation and promoting improved sucking skills. It also helps maintain the correct position of the pacifier in the baby's mouth, preventing slippage, effectively stimulating the sucking reflex, and achieving an optimal sucking experience.
[0029] See also Figures 1 to 3A movable nipple, wherein the base 13 is provided with a card slot 131 and a sealing groove 132, wherein the card slot 131 is located on the side of the base 13, and the sealing groove 132 is located on the bottom surface of the base 13. The card slot 131 is designed to be firmly connected to the neck of a feeding bottle or other accessories. When using the nipple, the nipple needs to be linked to the feeding bottle. The card slot 131 and the structure of the feeding bottle are interlocked to ensure that the nipple is not easy to fall off during use, and it is also easy to install and remove. The sealing groove 132 on the bottom surface of the base 13 plays a role in ensuring the sealing between the nipple and the feeding bottle, preventing milk leakage during feeding. When the nipple is installed on the feeding bottle, the card slot 131 and the sealing groove 132 can form a stable and closed state between the nipple and the feeding bottle, thereby preventing milk from leaking.
[0030] See also Figures 1 to 3 A movable nipple, wherein the upper wall thickness b133 of the base 13 is greater than the wall thickness a1211 of the guide portion 121. With this design, the base 13, as the connection between the nipple and the bottle, needs to withstand greater forces, such as the pulling force generated by the baby during sucking or external forces during daily assembly and disassembly. The thicker wall thickness of the base 13 can improve the strength and durability of the base, reducing the risk of breakage due to external forces. Furthermore, this design can help better support the nipple body 1. Under the action of the same force, because the wall thickness b133 is greater than the wall thickness a1211, the base 13 can withstand more force than the guide portion 121, which may apply uneven force during the baby's sucking process. This design can prevent the base 13 from collapsing before the guide portion 121, causing the nipple to collapse and making it difficult for the baby to suck milk. Furthermore, it can also balance the weight distribution of the nipple, making it more stable during use and not affecting the user experience due to improper weight distribution.
[0031] See also Figures 1 to 3 A movable nipple, wherein the annular groove 1431 is provided in a plurality and is in a stepped shape. The multiple and stepped annular grooves 1431 can make the movable range of the nipple between the base 13 and the suction head 11 more subdivided and precise. The multiple stepped grooves serve to set multiple preset movable positions, making the nipple deformation in the height direction more precise and regular. The stepped design makes the force distribution more uniform when the baby sucks the nipple, reduces the wear of a single part of the nipple, and thus extends the service life of the nipple.
[0032] Working principle: When the pacifier needs to be used, install the pacifier on the bottle. The card slot 131 and the corresponding structure on the bottle are engaged with each other, so that the pacifier is fixed on the bottle. The sealing groove 132 makes the pacifier fit tightly with the bottle, ensuring the sealing between the pacifier and the bottle. Furthermore, when the baby sucks, uneven force is applied to the pacifier, causing the pacifier to deform. The hollow area 142 and the guide groove 143 of the movable module 14 respectively provide the rotation range and height direction of the pacifier, so that the pacifier is movable, maintaining the relative position of the suction head 11 in the baby's mouth, avoiding the bending of the pacifier and the collapse of the sucking channel, which makes it difficult for the baby to suck milk, and effectively improves the practicality and comfort of use of the pacifier.
