Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of maternal and infant products, specifically a massage head assembly for a breast pump and a breast pump. Background Technology

[0002] As breast pump technology continues to develop, its functions have become increasingly diverse to meet the specific needs of different user groups. Many breast pumps on the market now integrate massage functions to stimulate milk flow, making the pumping process smoother and reducing discomfort for mothers, thus enhancing their comfort. To achieve this, some breast pumps use vibration devices to transmit vibrations to the massage head, providing a massage effect.

[0003] In implementing the massage function of a breast pump, the massage head is a key component. It not only needs to ensure a good fit to the breast but also needs to provide appropriate pressure to stimulate the mammary glands, thereby promoting milk flow. However, in practical applications, existing massage head designs still have some problems. For example, in current technology, to achieve a more even massage effect, massage heads need to be installed individually at different locations on the breast pump. This not only increases the complexity of the manufacturing process but also leads to increased costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a massage head assembly for breast pumps to simplify the installation process, reduce costs, and ensure the uniformity of the massage effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of complex massage head installation, high cost, and uneven massage effect in the existing technology mentioned above, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A massage head assembly for a breast pump includes a massage head, and further includes a connecting portion for connecting two adjacent massage heads. The plurality of massage heads and the connecting portion are integrally formed. The massage head has an inner cavity for mounting a vibration device.

[0007] Furthermore, the massage head assembly for a breast pump described in the solution further includes a mounting portion and a massage portion located on one side of the mounting portion and protruding from the mounting portion, the massage portion being inclined.

[0008] Furthermore, the massage head assembly for a breast pump described in the solution is wherein the massage part is set at an angle b with respect to the horizontal plane, and the angle b is between 45° and 90°.

[0009] Furthermore, in the massage head assembly for a breast pump described in the solution, the massage part has a massage part cavity for mounting a vibration device, the mounting part has a mounting part cavity communicating with the massage part cavity, and the massage part also has a protruding fixing end on one side of the mounting part cavity, the fixing end has a threading hole, the diameter of the threading hole being smaller than the diameter of the massage part cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the massage head assembly for a breast pump described in the solution further includes a convex connecting end and a concave connecting end connecting the massage part and the mounting part, wherein the thickness of the convex connecting end is greater than the thickness of the concave connecting end.

[0011] Furthermore, in the massage head assembly for a breast pump described in the solution, the massage head assembly is arranged in a ring shape, and the massage head assembly also includes a center point. The convex connecting end is located on the side away from the center point, the concave connecting end is located on the side closer to the center point, and the massage parts are all inclined towards the center point.

[0012] Furthermore, in the massage head assembly for a breast pump described in the solution, the cross-section of the convex connecting end is set at an angle c to the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part, the angle c being between 90° and 135°, and the cross-section of the concave connecting end is set at an angle d to the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part, the angle d being between 45° and 90°.

[0013] Furthermore, in the massage head assembly for a breast pump described in the solution, a sensing mounting cavity is formed between the fixed end and the inner wall of the mounting cavity, the sensing mounting cavity being used to mount a sensor to sense the vibration amplitude.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4The present invention proposes a massage head assembly for a breast pump, which further includes a connecting part 2 connecting two adjacent massage heads 1. The multiple massage heads 1 and the connecting part 2 are integrally formed, and the massage head 1 is provided with an inner cavity for installing a vibration device.

[0029] This invention simplifies the installation process of the massage head assembly by integrating multiple massage heads 1 and their connecting parts 2 into one piece, reducing the steps required to install multiple massage heads 1 during breast pump assembly and thus lowering manufacturing costs. In addition, the massage head 1 has an inner cavity for installing a vibration device. This design allows the vibration device to be directly installed inside each massage head 1, ensuring efficient transmission of vibration energy and making the vibration effect of each massage head 1 uniform and consistent, thereby improving the efficiency and comfort of the massage.

[0030] Specifically, the integrated molding design avoids the traditional multi-part assembly method, eliminating the need to install individual massage heads 1 one by one when assembling breast pumps on the production line. This greatly simplifies the production line operation process, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and lowers the risk of quality problems caused by improper assembly. In addition, currently, multiple massage heads 1 on breast pumps usually share a single vibration device to achieve the vibration massage effect, or the vibration device is installed on the side of the massage head 1 away from the breast being massaged, and the massage head 1 is driven to vibrate by external vibration. This utility model, by setting an inner cavity on the massage head 1 for installing the vibration device, allows the vibration device to act directly on the massage head 1, reducing the loss of vibration energy during transmission. This ensures that the vibration energy can be transmitted to the breast tissue to the maximum extent, enhancing the massage effect. At the same time, since each massage head 1 has a separate vibration device installed in its inner cavity, it ensures that the vibration effect of each massage head 1 is uniform and consistent, avoiding the problem of inconsistent vibration intensity caused by different distances between the vibration device and the massage head 1.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 The invention relates to a massage head assembly for a breast pump, wherein the massage head 1 further comprises a mounting portion 11 and a massage portion 12 located on one side of the mounting portion 11 and protruding from the mounting portion 11, the massage portion 12 being inclined.

[0032] This invention, by providing a massage part 12 with a protruding mounting part 11, ensures that the massage part 12 contacts the skin surface first, thereby providing a more effective stimulation and promoting the flow of milk. Furthermore, the massage part 12 is inclined, which can better mimic the shape of the breast and ensure that the massage part 12 fits closely to the breast surface, making the massage effect more significant and improving the user's comfort.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4The illustration shows a massage head assembly for a breast pump, wherein the massage portion 12 is set at an angle b with respect to the horizontal plane, the angle b being between 45° and 90°.

[0034] This invention sets the angle between the massage part 12 and the horizontal plane between 45° and 90°, allowing the massage part 12 to contact the breast at a more ergonomic angle, thereby effectively stimulating the mammary glands and promoting milk secretion. If the angle between the massage part 12 and the horizontal plane is less than 45°, the massage part 12 will be too vertical and will not be able to effectively cover the surface of the breast, thus weakening the massage effect. If the angle is greater than 90°, the massage part 12 will tilt away from the breast, making it difficult to form effective contact with the breast surface and causing the massage force to be unable to be accurately transmitted to the breast tissue, thereby affecting the massage effect and the user's comfort.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 The illustration shows a massage head assembly for a breast pump, wherein the massage part 12 has a massage part cavity 121 for mounting a vibration device, the mounting part 11 has a mounting part cavity 111 communicating with the massage part cavity 121, and the massage part 12 also has a protruding fixing end 122 on one side of the mounting part cavity 111, the fixing end 122 has a wire hole 1221, the diameter of the wire hole 1221 being smaller than the diameter of the massage part cavity 121.

[0036] This invention provides an inner cavity 121 for mounting a vibration device within the massage part 12. This design ensures that the vibration device can act independently on each massage part 12, thereby improving the efficiency of vibration energy transmission and resulting in a more uniform and noticeable massage effect. Furthermore, this invention provides a fixed end 122 on one side of the massage part 12 located within the inner cavity 111 of the mounting part. This design allows one side of the vibration device to be in close contact with the massage part 12 for massage, while the other side of the vibration device is in close contact with the fixed end 122, thus restricting the vibration device from moving along the axis of the massage part 12. In addition, the diameter of the vibrating device in this invention is slightly larger than the inner cavity 121 of the massage part. This setting effectively restricts the movement of the vibrating device in the radial direction of the massage part 12, thereby ensuring that the vibrating device is always in close contact with the massage part 12 during vibration. Furthermore, this invention provides a wire hole 1221 on the fixed end 122. The diameter of the wire hole 1221 is smaller than the diameter of the inner cavity 121 of the massage part. This ensures that the vibrating device can be fixed in the inner cavity 121 of the massage part by the fixed end 122, while also providing a passage for the wire connecting the vibrating device.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4The massage head assembly for a breast pump shown includes a convex connecting end 13 and a concave connecting end 14 connecting the massage part 12 and the mounting part 11, wherein the thickness of the convex connecting end 13 is greater than the thickness of the concave connecting end 14.

[0038] This invention, through the convex connecting end 13 and concave connecting end 14 connecting the massage part 12 and the mounting part 11, enables the massage part 12 to form a repetitive and rhythmic pressing effect during vibration. When the vibration is transmitted to the massage part 12, the massage part 12 will first tend to move towards the concave connecting end 14 because the concave connecting end 14 provides a certain recessed space. In addition, due to the setting of the convex connecting end 13, when the massage part 12 moves to a certain position towards the concave connecting end 14, the convex connecting end 13 will play a supporting role, causing the massage part 12 to rebound and move towards the convex connecting end 13. This setting enables the massage part 12 to form a repetitive and rhythmic pressing action during vibration, thereby enhancing the massage effect on the breast and ensuring a more even and effective massage.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 The illustration shows a massage head assembly for a breast pump, wherein the massage head assembly is arranged in a ring shape and includes a center point 4. The convex connecting end 13 is located on the side away from the center point 4, and the concave connecting end 14 is located on the side closer to the center point 4. The massage parts 12 are all inclined towards the center point 4. In other alternative embodiments, the massage head assembly can also be configured as a C-shape mimicking the shape of a breast, with C-shaped massage head assemblies installed on both sides of the breast pump to adapt to the shape of the breast.

[0040] This invention, by positioning the convex connecting end 13 on the side away from the center point 4 of the massage head assembly and the concave connecting end 14 on the side closer to the center point 4, allows the massage part 12 to effectively and repeatedly press towards one side of the breast during vibration, simulating the action of a baby sucking. This not only enhances the massage effect on the breast but also promotes the expression of milk. Furthermore, since the massage parts 12 are all tilted towards the center point 4, this arrangement helps the massage parts 12 conform to the shape of the breast, thereby better fitting the breast surface and providing a more natural and comfortable massage experience.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 The illustration shows a massage head assembly for a breast pump, wherein the cross-section of the convex connecting end 13 is set at an angle c with the side wall of the massage part 12, the angle c being between 90° and 135°, and the cross-section of the concave connecting end 14 is set at an angle d with the side wall of the massage part 12, the angle d being between 45° and 90°.

[0042] This invention sets the angle between the cross-section of the convex connecting end 13 and the side wall of the massage part 12 between 90° and 135°. This setting ensures that the massage part 12 has sufficient elastic support during vibration, allowing it to quickly return to its original position after each vibration, without restricting its movement towards the concave connecting end 14. If the angle is greater than 135°, the elastic support of the massage part 12 will weaken, resulting in a slower recovery speed after vibration, thus affecting the continuity and efficiency of the massage. Conversely, if the angle is less than 90°, the support of the massage part 12 will become too stiff, limiting its movement towards the concave connecting end 14, leading to a decrease in massage effect and potentially causing discomfort to the user. Furthermore, by setting the angle between the cross-section of the concave connecting end 14 and the side wall of the massage part 12 between 45° and 90°, this invention ensures that the massage part 12 has sufficient room to move during vibration, but at the same time restricts the massage part 12 from moving excessively towards the concave connecting end 14, preventing the massage part 12 from sinking into the concave connecting end 14. If the angle is greater than 90°, the massage part 12 will have insufficient room to move during vibration, resulting in a weakened massage effect and insufficient stimulation of breast tissue. If the angle is less than 45°, the massage part 12 will move excessively towards the concave connecting end 14, causing the massage part 12 to lose control during vibration and potentially even compressing the breast, affecting the user experience.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 The illustration shows a massage head assembly for a breast pump, wherein a sensing mounting cavity 15 is formed between the fixed end 122 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111, the sensing mounting cavity 15 being used to mount a sensor to sense vibration amplitude.

[0044] This invention forms an induction mounting cavity 15 between the fixed end 122 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111, and installs a sensor in the induction mounting cavity 15. This setting uses the sensor to measure the vibration amplitude at the massage head 1, so that the breast pump can monitor the working status of the vibration device in real time, ensuring that the vibration is within a predetermined range, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the massage effect.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shows a massage head assembly for a breast pump, wherein the connecting part 2 is further provided with a protruding damping part 21, the damping part 21 having an elliptical cross-section.

[0046] This invention features a protruding damping part 21 on the connecting part 2, which abuts against the breast pump. This effectively reduces the transmission of vibration to the breast pump, thereby reducing its vibration. This design not only reduces the noise during operation but also avoids discomfort caused by vibration when the user holds the breast pump. Furthermore, the damping part 21 has an elliptical cross-section. This elliptical cross-section provides a larger contact area in the direction of contact with the breast pump, helping to absorb more vertical vibration. In the direction parallel to the contact surface, the elliptical cross-section provides strong resistance to deformation, effectively suppressing vibration in that direction and further optimizing the damping performance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the massage head assembly is arranged in a ring and is integrally formed from multiple massage heads 1 and connecting parts 2, ensuring simplicity and cost-effectiveness in the production process. In this embodiment, each massage head 1 has an inner cavity for mounting a vibration device, allowing the vibration device to be directly mounted inside each massage head 1 and electrically connected through a wire hole 1221, reducing the loss of vibration energy during transmission and ensuring uniform vibration effect of each massage head 1. Simultaneously, a sensing mounting cavity 15 is formed between the fixed end 122 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 111 for mounting a sensor to sense the vibration amplitude at the massage head 1.

[0048] In use, the massage head 1 in the massage head assembly first contacts the skin surface through the massage part 12 protruding from the mounting part 11. The massage part 12 is tilted, with the angle between the massage part 12 and the horizontal plane set between 45° and 90°, which can better mimic the shape of the breast and ensure a close fit between the massage part 12 and the breast surface. When the massage function of the breast pump is activated, the vibration generated by the vibration device is transmitted to the massage part 12. Because the concave connecting end 14 provides a certain recessed space, the massage part 12 will first tend to move towards the concave connecting end 14. When the massage part 12 moves to a certain position towards the concave connecting end 14, the convex connecting end 13 will provide support, causing the massage part 12 to rebound and move towards the convex connecting end 13. This allows the massage part 12 to form a repetitive and rhythmic pressing action during vibration. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the convex connecting end 13 is set at an angle of 90°-135° to the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part 12, and the cross-section of the concave connecting end 14 is set at an angle of 45°-90° to the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part 12. During vibration, the vibration is reduced by the vibration damping part 21 on the connecting part 2, which reduces the vibration transmitted by the vibration device to the handheld position of the breast pump.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model also proposes a breast pump, which includes a suction cup assembly 3, a milk storage container 7, and a drive assembly 8. The massage head assembly is fixed on the drive assembly 8. The suction cup assembly 3 is used to fix the breast in a proper position and draw out the milk from the breast through the negative pressure generated. The drive assembly 8 is used to provide electrical energy to the vibrator 2 and provide the required suction force to the suction cup assembly. The milk storage container 7 is used to collect and store the milk after the suction cup assembly draws it out.

[0051] The breast pump of this invention integrates multiple massage heads 1 and their connecting parts 2 into a single unit, and provides an inner cavity for mounting a vibration device on each massage head 1. This simplifies the installation process of the massage head assembly, reduces manufacturing costs, and ensures the uniformity of the massage effect of each massage head 1. Furthermore, by providing a suction cup assembly 3, the breast can be securely placed in the breast pump, and the generated negative pressure effectively draws out the milk. Furthermore, by providing a milk storage container 7 connected to the suction cup assembly, hygiene and convenience are ensured during the milk collection process. Furthermore, by providing a drive assembly 8 to power the suction cup assembly and generate suction, the breast pump does not require an external power source during use, allowing users to use it anytime, anywhere.

[0052] Example 3:

[0053] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the angle between the massage part 12 and the horizontal plane is set at 45°, the cross-section of the convex connecting end 13 is set at a 90° angle with the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part 12, and the cross-section of the concave connecting end 14 is set at a 45° angle with the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part 12.

[0054] Example 4:

[0055] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the angle between the massage part 12 and the horizontal plane is set at 90°, the cross-section of the convex connecting end 13 is set at an angle of 135° with the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part 12, and the cross-section of the concave connecting end 14 is set at an angle of 90° with the cross-section of the side wall of the massage part 12.
