Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of newborn feeding technology, and in particular to a newborn milk tracking device. Background Technology
[0002] Breastfeeding plays an irreplaceable role in the healthy growth of newborns. Breast milk is rich in immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and other immunomodulatory substances, which enhance the newborn's immunity and reduce the risk of infectious diseases. Its nutritional composition is well-balanced, easily digested and absorbed, and aids in the development of the newborn's digestive function. Furthermore, breastfeeding promotes emotional bonding between mother and child, positively impacting the newborn's psychological and emotional development. However, in practice, many mothers experience insufficient milk production, and some newborns do not suckle effectively. Current technology uses a syringe and catheter to deliver milk to the breast, releasing it as the newborn sucks, which helps develop their sucking ability and stimulates milk production. However, the syringe in this technology is inconvenient to operate as it requires handheld use, and the resistance to the newborn's sucking is not easily controlled via a valve. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a newborn milk-tracking device that is more convenient to operate and can more intuitively and accurately control the sucking resistance of newborns.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment is implemented as follows:
[0005] A newborn breastfeeding support device includes a syringe, a catheter, a clamping frame, medical tape, and a counterweight. The clamping frame includes a fixing clamp, a connecting rod, and a clamp. The fixing clamp is connected to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the syringe via the clamp. The piston rod of the syringe is equipped with the counterweight, which is used to adjust the movement resistance of the piston rod. The syringe barrel is connected to the newborn's mouth through the catheter, and the catheter is attached to one side of the breast via the medical tape.
[0006] Furthermore, the counterweight includes a base and a counterweight block. The base is provided with a buckle for engaging with the bottom of the piston rod, and the counterweight block is detachably mounted on the base.
[0007] Furthermore, the base is magnetic, the counterweight is a semi-circular pad, and the base is capable of adsorbing the pad.
[0008] Furthermore, the base is provided with an elastic element, a base plate and a slider. The elastic element is located at the bottom of the base and is connected to the base plate. The base is provided with a through hole, the slider passes through the through hole, and the upper and lower ends of the slider are provided with limiting pieces.
[0009] Furthermore, the elastic element is a leaf spring or a helical spring.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the slider is coated with an alternating red and green coating.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixing clamp includes an upper clamping plate, a lower clamping plate, and a torsion spring. The upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate are hinged together, and the torsion spring is disposed between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate. The torsion spring is used to drive the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate to close.
[0012] Furthermore, both the upper and lower clamping plates are folding plates, each folding plate comprising a front plate and a rear plate. The front end of the rear plate is hinged to the front plate, the bottom of the front plate is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the upper end of the rear plate is provided with an avoidance groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the edges of the front panel are chamfered.
[0014] Furthermore, the front end of the rear plate is provided with a groove, and the limiting card protrusion is aligned with the groove.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The fixing clip can be attached to the bedside or clothing as needed, and the fixing clip is connected to a clamp via a connecting rod. The syringe barrel is attached to the clamp, with the syringe piston facing upwards and the syringe outlet facing upwards. The syringe outlet is connected to the newborn's mouth via a catheter, and the catheter is fixed to one side of the breast using medical tape, allowing the syringe to be inserted into the newborn's mouth from one side. When the newborn suckles, the milk in the syringe is drawn into their mouth, and the newborn's sucking action also promotes breast milk secretion. A counterweight is installed on the syringe piston rod, which is used to adjust the resistance of the piston rod's movement. This allows for more intuitive and accurate control of the newborn's sucking force, and the resistance can be adjusted to different levels for different newborns. This ensures that the newborn can suckle milk while maintaining a certain sucking force, achieving the dual effect of exercising the newborn's sucking ability and stimulating breast milk secretion.

[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4This application provides a newborn breastfeeding support device, including a syringe 1, a catheter 2, a clamping frame 3, medical tape 4, and a counterweight 5. The clamping frame 3 includes a fixing clip 6, a connecting rod 7, and a clamp 8. The fixing clip 6 is connected to the connecting rod 7, and the connecting rod 7 is connected to the syringe 1 via the clamp 8. The piston rod 9 of the syringe 1 is equipped with the counterweight 5, which is used to adjust the movement resistance of the piston rod 9. The syringe barrel 10 of the syringe 1 is connected to the newborn's mouth through the catheter 2, and the catheter 2 is attached to one side of the breast via the medical tape 4. In use, the fixing clip 6 is clamped to the bedside or clothing as needed, and the fixing clip 6 is connected to the clamp 8 via the connecting rod 7. The syringe barrel 10 of the syringe 1 is clamped onto the clamp 8, with the piston of the syringe 1 facing upwards and the outlet of the syringe barrel 10 facing upwards. The outlet of the syringe barrel 10 is connected to the newborn's mouth through the catheter 2, and the catheter 2 is fixed to one side of the breast using the medical tape 4, so that one side of the newborn's mouth is inserted. When a newborn is breastfeeding, the milk in syringe 1 is drawn into their mouth, and the newborn's sucking action also promotes breast milk secretion. A counterweight 5 is installed on the piston rod 9 of syringe 1. This counterweight 5 is used to adjust the resistance of the piston rod 9, allowing for different resistance levels to be adjusted according to different newborns. This ensures that the newborn can suckle milk while maintaining a certain sucking force, achieving the dual effect of training the newborn's sucking ability and stimulating breast milk production.
[0027] Specifically, the counterweight 5 includes a base 11 and counterweight blocks 12. The base 11 is equipped with a buckle 13 for engaging with the bottom of the piston rod 9. The counterweight blocks 12 are detachably mounted on the base 11. The base 11 is engaged with the bottom of the piston rod 9 using the buckle 13. Then, different numbers of counterweight blocks are placed on the base 11 as needed. The resistance to the movement of the piston rod 9 is adjusted by using different counterweight blocks 12, thereby adjusting the sucking force required for the newborn to suckle milk. For example, for premature infants or other newborns with weak sucking force, fewer counterweight blocks can be used. Compared to using a valve for control, this invention allows for intuitive and accurate adjustment of the newborn's sucking force through the weight of the counterweight blocks 12, and the sucking resistance is stable.
[0028] Specifically, the base 11 is magnetic, and the counterweight 12 is a semi-circular pad. The base 11 can attract the pad. By placing the pad on the base 11, the magnetic properties of the base 11 attract the pad, preventing it from falling off during the process of increasing milk supply.
[0029] Specifically, the base 11 is equipped with an elastic element 14, a base plate 15, and a slider 16. The elastic element 14 is located at the bottom of the base 11 and is connected to the base plate 15. The base 11 has a through hole, through which the slider 16 passes, and limiting pieces 17 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the slider 16. After the milk is drawn into the syringe, the base plate 15 is pushed at a constant speed to expel air from the syringe and the tubing 2. When the base plate 15 is pushed, the elastic element 14 deforms, and the base plate 15 moves closer to the elastic element 14, pushing the slider 16 to move within the through hole. The distance of sliding movement can be used to determine the piston's resistance, i.e., the resistance of the newborn sucking milk. When the resistance is too low, a pad is placed on the base 11 to increase the resistance to sucking.
[0030] Specifically, the elastic element 14 is a spring sheet 18 or a helical spring, and the outer surface of the slider 16 is coated with an alternating red and green coating. This allows for a more intuitive judgment of the slider 16's movement distance, facilitating the placement of an appropriate number of pads.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the fixing clip 6 includes an upper clip 20, a lower clip 21, and a torsion spring 22. The upper clip 20 and the lower clip 21 are hinged together, and the torsion spring 22 is disposed between the upper clip 20 and the lower clip 21. The torsion spring 22 is used to drive the upper clip 20 and the lower clip 21 to close. The torsion spring 22 is used to push the upper clip 20 and the lower clip 21 to close, thereby clamping them to the bedside or clothing. When breastfeeding in bed, it can be clamped to the bedside; when carrying a newborn and feeding, it can be clamped to clothing.
[0033] Specifically, both the upper clamping plate 20 and the lower clamping plate 21 are folding plates 23. Each folding plate 23 includes a front plate 24 and a rear plate 25. The front end of the rear plate 25 is hinged to the front plate 24. The bottom of the front plate 24 has a limiting protrusion 26, and the upper end of the rear plate 25 has a clearance groove 27. The front plate 24 can rotate relative to the rear plate 25. When clamping a thicker part, the front plate 24 rotates forward, and the limiting protrusion 26 at the bottom of the front plate 24 abuts against the rear plate 25, resulting in a larger gap between the upper clamping plate 20 and the lower clamping plate 21, making it easier to clamp thicker parts. When clamping a thinner part, the front plate 24 rotates backward into the clearance groove 27. A portion of the front plate 24 enters the clearance groove 27, while the other portion protrudes above the surface of the rear plate 25, reducing the gap between the upper clamping plate 20 and the lower clamping plate 21, making it easier to clamp thinner parts and providing a more stable clamping.
[0034] Specifically, the front plate 24 has a chamfer 28 on its edge. This prevents the front plate 24 from getting stuck when it rotates.
[0035] Specifically, the front end of the rear plate 25 is provided with a groove 29, and the limiting protrusion 26 is aligned with the groove 29. After the front plate 24 is rotated and extended, the limiting protrusion 26 enters the groove 29, improving the stability of the front plate 24.
[0036] Example 3
[0037] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1 or 2 is that it also includes a protective cover 19. The upper end of the protective cover is connected to the syringe, and the lower end is connected to the piston rod 9. The protective cover 19 covers the piston rod 9 and the bottom of the syringe to prevent contamination inside the syringe.
[0038] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the stated claims.
