Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breast pumps, specifically a night-time visual, hands-free breast pump. Background Technology
[0002] In the daily care of breastfeeding women, hands-free breast pumps have become a widely used breastfeeding aid. A breastfeeding woman's milk production is influenced by many factors, such as diet, the baby's sucking habits, and hormonal fluctuations, making the timing of engorgement unpredictable and difficult to control in advance. Especially at night, when women are in deep sleep, their perception of external changes is relatively slow. Once engorgement occurs, significant breast pain arises, forcing breastfeeding women to interrupt their sleep and immediately use a breast pump to relieve discomfort and prevent milk stasis that could lead to mastitis and other health problems.
[0003] Most hands-free breast pumps on the market today feature transparent bottle casings. In bright daylight, users can easily and clearly observe the milk level through the transparent casing, allowing them to plan their pumping process and subsequent milk storage accordingly. However, at night, the lighting conditions drop drastically, with natural light becoming extremely weak. Without indoor lighting, it's impossible to clearly see the milk level. When breastfeeding women try to solve this problem by turning on room lights, the bright light instantly fills the space, easily disturbing a sleeping baby and disrupting their sleep rhythm, potentially negatively impacting their growth and development. Conversely, operating in the dark presents a challenge for breastfeeding women, making it difficult to accurately judge the pumping progress and monitor the remaining milk level. Furthermore, the inconvenience of operation could cause the pump components to collide and make noise, also waking the baby, severely reducing the product's user experience and practicality.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. It should also be noted that the terminology used in this utility model is for describing specific implementations only and is not intended to limit the exemplary implementations according to this application.
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without inventive effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1:
[0022] The night-view, hands-free breast pump provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a breast pump body 1, a baby bottle 2, and a lighting device 3; the baby bottle 2 is fixed to the breast pump body 1; the breast pump body 1 includes a hollow shell structure 11; the lighting device 3 is fixed inside the shell structure 11; the lighting device 3 includes several light strips 31; the light strips 31 can emit light and illuminate the inside of the baby bottle 2; the baby bottle 2 is transparent.
[0023] The night-viewing, hands-free breast pump provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is an improvement based on existing hands-free breast pumps. The specific structure and working principle of existing hands-free breast pumps have been disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 201910455936.6. In this embodiment, the "bottle 2" is equivalent to its "milk collection container," and the "breast pump body 1" is equivalent to its other structural parts excluding the "milk collection container." The difference from the aforementioned prior art is that this embodiment includes an additional lighting device 3, which illuminates the inside of the bottle 2, causing the bottle 2 to glow and displaying the liquid level inside the bottle 2. When a mother uses the hands-free breast pump of this embodiment in a low-light environment at night, she can control the light strip 31 of the lighting device 3 to illuminate the inside of the bottle 2, making the liquid level in the bottle 2 obvious. This visualization effect allows the mother to accurately control the breast pumping process. Whether it is judging the amount of milk pumped out or noticing whether there is any milk residue, it is clear at a glance. This effectively avoids operational errors caused by insufficient light at night, such as milk spillage or insufficient pumping, and greatly improves the convenience of breast pumping at night.
[0024] The night-viewing, hands-free breast pump provided in this embodiment solves the problem in the prior art where mothers have difficulty seeing the amount of milk in the breast pump bottle when using a hands-free breast pump in low-light environments, making it inconvenient to use. It allows mothers to conveniently use the breast pump in dim lighting conditions.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the light strip 31 is disposed on the outer edge of the junction between the housing structure 11 and the breast pump body 1; the housing structure 11 is non-transparent; the light strip 31 is a light that can emit light downwards and horizontally. The non-transparent housing structure 11 is designed to enclose internal components such as the pump, control board, and wiring, making the breast pump more aesthetically pleasing. The downward-emitting light strip 31 directly and effectively illuminates the bottle 2 located below the housing structure 11. Since the bottle 2 typically holds and stores breast milk, the downward light penetrates the bottom of the bottle without obstruction, clearly showing the condition of the bottom area. Any potential milk sediment, impurities, or the actual milk level can be accurately observed by the mother. The horizontal light strip 31 provides ample illumination to the breast pump from the side. This horizontal light not only evenly illuminates the side of the bottle 2, allowing the mother to observe the distribution of milk on the horizontal plane from all angles, but also significantly enhances the overall luminous intensity and illumination effect of the breast pump through the synergistic effect of the horizontal and vertical light. This allows the mother to clearly and easily see key parts such as the buttons in low-light or near-dark environments, facilitating the control of the breast pump.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, in this case, the baby bottle 2 is fixed against the housing structure 11; a light-transmitting plate 4 is provided at the position of the fixed light strip 31 on the housing structure 11; the light-transmitting plate 4 faces the horizontal outer side of the housing structure 11; the light-transmitting plate 4 faces downward. The light-transmitting plate 4 has a light guiding function. Facing the horizontal outer side of the housing structure 11, the light emitted by the light strip 31 can be guided horizontally to the side area of the baby bottle 2. This allows the light to penetrate the baby bottle 2 evenly, so that the user can clearly observe the liquid level changes of the milk on the side of the baby bottle 2 at night; at the same time, the light-transmitting plate 4 is also facing downward. With this design, the light emitted by the light strip 31 can easily penetrate to the bottom of the baby bottle 2. The user can then easily check whether there is any milk sedimentation or impurity accumulation at the bottom of the baby bottle 2, ensuring the quality of the collected milk and also helping to accurately determine the remaining amount of milk in the baby bottle 2.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the breast pump body 1 further includes a control board 12; the control board 12 is fixed inside the housing structure 11; the control board 12 is electrically connected to the lighting device 3. The electrical connection between the control board 12 and the lighting device 3 allows the user to precisely and conveniently control the opening and closing of the lighting device 3 through programs or instructions preset on the control board 12, and to flexibly adjust the brightness of the light strip 31 according to the actual nighttime light conditions (in this embodiment, an adjustable light strip 31 is used).
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the breast pump body 1 further includes a battery 13; the battery 13 is electrically connected to the control board 12. The battery 13 can supply power to the control board 12, and on the other hand, the battery 13 supplies power to other structures of the housing structure 11, including the lighting device 3, through the power supply lines on the control board.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the housing structure 11 is provided with a plurality of interactive buttons 112; the interactive buttons 112 are electrically connected to the control board 12. The plurality of interactive buttons 112 provided on the housing structure 11, through electrical connection with the control board 12, enable the user to operate and control the control board 12. The specific working principle is a conventional technical means in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] In summary, this utility model provides a night-view, hands-free breast pump, relating to the field of breast pumps, comprising a breast pump body, a bottle, and a lighting device; the bottle is fixed to the breast pump body; the breast pump body includes a hollow shell structure; the lighting device is fixed within the shell structure; the lighting device includes several light strips; the light strips emit light and illuminate the inside of the bottle; the bottle is transparent. This night-view, hands-free breast pump solves the problem in existing technologies where mothers find it difficult to see the amount of milk in the bottle when using a hands-free breast pump in low-light environments, making it inconvenient to use.
