Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of maternal and infant products technology, specifically to a breast pump with a heating function. Background Technology
[0002] A breast pump is a maternity and infant product used to express breast milk. Most common electric breast pumps use an air pump to create negative pressure for suction, which indirectly acts on the breast to express milk. To improve comfort, some electric breast pumps have a heating function on the breast shield. During use, heat is transferred to the breast to promote blood flow, accelerate milk flow, help clear blockages, and soften the areola.
[0003] However, through extensive market research and customer feedback, the applicant discovered that some breast pumps with heating functions have poor integration of the negative pressure system and heating system in their structural design. The messy wiring harness and numerous parts make it easy for the breast pump to pull wires during use, and the cost is relatively high and not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art. In view of this, a breast pump with heating function is provided, including a milk storage container, a breast pump cover, and a control host. The milk storage container is connected to the breast pump cover through a three-way connector. The control host is equipped with a negative pressure air pump. The breast pump cover is also equipped with an electric heating component, which is connected to the control host through a wiring harness. The device also includes an integrated connector, which has an inner and outer nested and isolated negative pressure air passage and a heating wiring harness passage. The milk storage container is connected to the negative pressure air pump through the three-way connector and the negative pressure air passage. The electric heating component is connected to the control host through a wiring harness passing through the heating wiring harness passage.
[0005] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages: by optimizing the structure of the breast pump with heating function, the wiring harness of the electric heating component and the negative pressure air circuit are integrated into one design through an integrated connector. The wiring harness is hidden in the heating wiring harness channel and is neatly arranged without being exposed. The negative pressure air circuit channel and the heating wiring harness channel are completely isolated without affecting the normal negative pressure suction work. Under the premise of taking into account both heating and negative pressure milk suction functions, the highly integrated structural design avoids the wiring harness being scattered and too many parts, and the overall shape is also more beautiful.
[0006] According to an example of the present invention, the integrated connector includes a connector body and an outer tube and an inner tube fixed on the connector body. The wire harness passes between the outer tube and the inner tube and is electrically connected to the electric heating component through an electrical connector provided on the connector body. The connector body is provided with air passages that communicate with the inner tube and the tee respectively.
[0007] According to an example of the present invention, the top of the three-way fitting is provided with a protective cover, the protective cover is provided with a gas passage connector, and the side of the protective cover is integrated with a transition connector for connecting the electrical connector and the electric heating component; the integrated connector is detachably fixed on the protective cover, and in the fixed state, the gas passage connector is adapted to the gas passage port, while the transition connector is adapted to the electrical connector.
[0008] According to one example of the present invention, the bottom side of the transition joint is provided with an arc-shaped groove for fitting the outer wall of the connection part between the tee and the breast pump.
[0009] According to one example of the present invention, the breast pump includes an outer substrate and an inner cover, and the electric heating assembly includes a cover connector integrated on the outer substrate and electrically connected to a transition connector, and an electric heating film sandwiched between the outer substrate and the inner cover and electrically connected to the cover connector.
[0010] According to one example of the present invention, a filler is further provided in the gap between the outer tube and the inner tube, and the filler is piled up around the wire harness to stabilize the shape of the wire harness.
[0011] According to one example of this utility model, the filling material is hemp rope.
[0012] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
