The term "a" should not be construed as a limitation on the quantity.
[0056] Refer to the accompanying drawings of the specification of this utility model. Figures 1 to 11A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be disclosed and described in the following description, wherein the breast pump includes a main unit 10 and at least one milk suction device 20 connected to the main unit 10, the milk suction device 20 being able to be fitted to the breast, and the milk suction device 20 being used to suck out and store milk when the main unit 10 is in operation.
[0057] Preferably, the breast pump further includes an air tube 30, one end of which is connected to the main unit 10 and the other end is connected to the breast pumping device 20, such that the breast pumping device 20 is connected to the main unit 10 through the air tube 30.
[0058] More preferably, see Appendix Figure 1 The breast pump has two pumping devices 20, and the air tube 30 is Y-shaped. The air tube 30 can connect both pumping devices 20 to the main unit 10 at the same time. In this way, the user can use the breast pump of this utility model to pump milk from both breasts at the same time.
[0059] It is worth mentioning that the specific way in which the breast pump 20 is fitted to the breast is not limited in the breast pump of this utility model. For example, in some embodiments of the breast pump of this utility model, the breast pump 20 can be self-adhesive to the breast, so that the breast pump 20 fits the breast; in other embodiments of the breast pump of this utility model, the breast pump 20 can be placed inside a bra, with the bra assisting the breast pump 20 in fitting to the breast.
[0060] Reference Appendix Figures 2 to 11 The breast pumping device 20 includes a device body 21, a back cover 22 and a baby bottle 23, and the breast pumping device 20 has a negative pressure chamber 24.
[0061] In the breast pump of this invention, the main body 21 is a single piece, integrally manufactured by injection molding. For example, silicone material can be used to form the main body 21 as a single piece through injection molding, or it can be formed by a secondary injection molding process. The main body 21 has a variable-spaced milk suction chamber 211 and a milk discharge channel 212 selectively connected to the milk suction chamber 211. The rear cover 22 has a gas channel 221 and is installed at the rear of the main body 21. The negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20 is formed between the main body 21 and the rear cover 22. The gas channel 221 of the rear cover 22 is connected to the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20, and the pressure state of the milk suction chamber 211 and the communication state of the milk discharge channel 212 of the main body 21 change with the pressure state of the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20. The bottle 23 is detachably mounted on the back cover 22. When the bottle 23 is mounted on the back cover 22, the rim of the bottle 23 abuts against the device body 21. The milk discharge channel 212 connects the milk suction chamber 211 and the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23. In the breast pump of this invention, the device body 21 of the breast pump 20 is integral, which helps to reduce the production cost of the breast pump 20 and improve the production efficiency of the breast pump. Furthermore, since the rim of the bottle 23 abuts against the device body 21, on the one hand, the device body 21 can provide pre-pressure to the bottle 23 to prevent the bottle 23 from loosening; on the other hand, the device body 21 can prevent gaps from forming between the device body 21 and the rim of the bottle 23, thereby ensuring that milk is reliably stored in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23.
[0062] When a user uses the breast pump, the breast closes the opening of the suction chamber 211 of the main body 21 of the device, forming a closed space. When the main unit 10 is working, it can expel the air in the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20 through the gas channel 221 of the rear cover 22, thereby increasing the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24. At this time, the negative pressure in the suction chamber 211 of the main body 21 increases, and the milk discharge channel 212 prevents the suction chamber 211 of the main body 21 from communicating with the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23, thus milk is sucked out. The milk is temporarily stored in the suction chamber 211 of the main body 21 of the device. When the main unit 10 allows air to enter the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20 through the gas channel 221 of the rear cover 22, the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20 decreases. At this time, the negative pressure in the suction chamber 211 of the main body 21 decreases, and the milk discharge channel 212 allows the suction chamber 211 of the main body 21 and the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 to communicate. Therefore, milk is allowed to enter the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 through the milk discharge channel 212 of the main body 21. This process is repeated, and the breast pump can help the user express milk.
[0063] Furthermore, in the appendix Figures 1 to 11 In this specific example of the breast pump of the present invention, the main body 21 includes a cylindrical body 213, a deformable portion 214, a horn cover 215, and abutment portion 216. The deformable portion 214 is integrally formed at the rear of the cylindrical body 213, the horn cover 215 is integrally formed at the front of the cylindrical body 213, and the abutment portion 216 is integrally formed at the bottom of the cylindrical body 213. The milk suction chamber 211 of the main body 21 is formed between the cylindrical body 213 and the deformable portion 214, and the milk discharge channel 212 of the main body 21 extends from the inner wall of the cylindrical body 213 to the abutment surface 2161 of the abutment portion 216. That is, in the attached... Figures 1 to 11In this specific example of the breast pump shown, the cylindrical body 213, the deformable portion 214, the horn cover 215, and the abutment portion 216 of the main body 21 are a single unit and do not require assembly. For example, in some embodiments of the breast pump of this invention, the cylindrical body 213, the deformable portion 214, the horn cover 215, and the abutment portion 216 can be integrally injection molded from silicone material using a single injection molding process. In some other embodiments of the breast pump of this utility model, the cylindrical body 213 can be injection molded first, and then the deformable part 214, the horn cover 215 and the abutment part 216 can be injection molded. The deformable part 214 is integrally connected to the rear part of the cylindrical body 213, so that the deformable part 214 is integrally formed at the rear part of the cylindrical body 213. The horn cover 215 is integrally connected to the front part of the cylindrical body 213, so that the deformable part 214 is integrally formed at the front part of the cylindrical body 213. The abutment part 216 is integrally connected to the bottom of the cylindrical body 213, so that the deformable part 214 is integrally formed at the bottom of the cylindrical body 213.
[0064] Preferably, refer to the appendix Figure 10 The inner wall of the main body 21 of the device, which forms the milk suction chamber 211, extends obliquely from the connection position of the horn cover 215 and the cylindrical body 213 towards the deformed part 214. When the user covers the breast with the horn cover 215, the connection position of the horn cover 215 and the cylindrical body 213 abuts against the areola. Because the inner wall of the main body 21 of the device, which forms the milk suction chamber 211, is oblique, on the one hand, the inner wall of the main body 21 of the device, which forms the milk suction chamber 211, can guide the sucked milk to the milk discharge channel 212 of the main body 21 of the device, so that the milk can be discharged smoothly. On the other hand, the connection position of the horn cover 215 and the cylindrical body 213 can prevent the milk from flowing back, so that the user can use the milk suction device 20 of this utility model to suck.
[0065] The rear cover 22 is installed on the cylinder 213, and the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20 is formed between the deformable part 214 and the rear cover 22. When the user uses the breast pump, the breast closes the opening of the breast pump chamber 211 of the device body 21, making the breast pump chamber 211 of the device body 21 a closed space. As the air in the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump 20 is discharged through the gas channel 221 of the rear cover 22, the deformable part 214 deforms towards the rear cover 22, causing the space of the breast pump chamber 211 of the device body 21 to increase. Correspondingly, the negative pressure in the breast pump chamber 211 of the device body 21 increases, and the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21 prevents the breast pump chamber 211 of the device body 21 from communicating with the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23, so that the milk can be sucked out and temporarily stored in the bottle. As external air enters the negative pressure chamber 24 of the milk suction device 20 through the gas channel 221 of the rear cover 22, the deformable part 214 deforms away from the rear cover 22, resulting in a reduction in the space of the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21. Correspondingly, the negative pressure in the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 decreases, and the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21 allows the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 and the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 to communicate. The milk temporarily stored in the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 enters the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 through the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21.
[0066] When the bottle 23 is installed on the back cover 22, the rim of the bottle 23 applies pressure to the abutment 216 after it is in contact with the abutment surface 2161 of the abutment part 216, causing the abutment part 216 to deform slightly. In this way, on the one hand, the device body 21 can provide pre-pressure to the bottle 23 to prevent the bottle 23 from loosening, and on the other hand, the device body 21 can prevent gaps from forming between the abutment surface 2161 of the abutment part 216 and the rim of the bottle 23, so that the milk is reliably stored in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23.
[0067] Reference Appendix Figures 6 to 11The abutting portion 216 of the main body 21 of the device has an exhaust hole 2162. The exhaust hole 2162 extends from the abutting surface 2161 to the side of the abutting portion 216 opposite to the abutting surface 2161. That is, the exhaust hole 2162 of the abutting portion 216 penetrates the upper and lower sides of the abutting portion 216. After the bottle 23 is installed on the back cover 22 and the rim of the bottle 23 abuts against the abutting surface 2161 of the abutting part 216, the vent 2162 of the abutting part 216 is located inside the rim of the bottle 23. In this way, the vent 2162 of the abutting part 216 can connect the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 with the external environment. Thus, during the milk feeding process, the air in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 can be discharged through the vent 2162 of the abutting part 216, so that the milk temporarily stored in the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 can be smoothly discharged into the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 through the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21.
[0068] Preferably, the abutment portion 216 of the device body 21 has an exhaust groove 2163. The exhaust groove 2163 is provided on the side of the abutment portion 216 away from the abutment surface 2161, and the exhaust groove 2163 extends from the exhaust hole 2162 to the edge of the abutment portion 216. In this way, after the rear cover 22 is installed on the device body 21, the exhaust groove 2163 of the abutment portion 216 allows an exhaust channel to be formed between the device body 21 and the rear cover 22. The exhaust channel connects the exhaust hole 2162 of the abutment portion 216 and the external environment, so that during the milk feeding process, the air in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 can be discharged through the exhaust hole 2162 of the abutment portion 216 and the exhaust channel.
[0069] Optionally, in other examples of the breast pump of this utility model, the venting groove 2163 may also be provided on the rear cover 22. After the rear cover 22 is installed on the device body 21, the venting hole 2162 of the abutment part 216 and the venting groove 2163 of the rear cover 22 are connected. In this way, the venting groove 2163 of the rear cover 22 allows the venting channel to be formed between the device body 21 and the rear cover 22, and the venting channel connects the venting hole 2162 of the abutment part 216 and the external environment. Thus, during the milk pumping process, the air in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 can be discharged through the venting hole 2162 of the abutment part 216 and the venting channel.
[0070] Optionally, in other examples of the breast pump of this utility model, the abutment portion 216 of the device body 21 may also lack the vent 2162. The vent groove 2163 of the abutment portion 216 is provided on the abutment surface 2161 of the abutment portion 216, and the vent groove 2163 extends from the edge of the abutment portion 216 towards the milk discharge channel 212. Thus, when the bottle 23 is mounted on the back cover 22 and the rim of the bottle 23 abuts against the abutment portion 216, the vent groove 2163 extends from the edge of the abutment portion 216 towards the milk discharge channel 212. After the contact surface 2161 is reached, the venting groove 2163 of the contact part 216 allows the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 to communicate with the external environment. Thus, during the milk feeding process, the air in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 can be discharged through the venting groove 2163 of the contact part 216, so that the milk temporarily stored in the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 can be smoothly discharged into the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23 through the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21.
[0071] Reference Appendix Figures 2 to 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The main body 21 of the device includes a panel portion 217, which is integrally formed on the cylindrical body 213 and surrounds the middle of the cylindrical body 213. It is understood that in some embodiments of the breast pump of this invention, the panel portion 217 can be integrally formed with the cylindrical body 213, the deformable portion 214, the horn cover 215, and the abutment portion 216 through an integral injection molding process. The edge of the back cover 22 is mounted to the edge of the panel portion 217, thereby ensuring a reliable connection between the back cover 22 and the main body 21 of the device.
[0072] Reference Appendix Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 The rear cover 22 includes a cover shell 222, an inner abutment ring arm 223, and an assembly ring 224. The inner abutment ring arm 223 extends integrally into the middle of the cover shell 222, and the assembly ring 224 is integrally formed at the bottom of the cover shell 222. When the rear cover 22 is installed on the device body 21, the edge of the cover shell 222 is installed on the edge of the panel portion 217. The inner abutment ring arm 223 abuts against the rear portion of the cylinder 213 in a sealing manner to form the negative pressure chamber 24 of the milk pumping device 20 between the rear cover 22 and the deformable portion 214. The assembly ring 224 is located below the abutment portion 216, and the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21 corresponds to the ring channel 2241 of the assembly ring 224.
[0073] Reference Appendix Figure 10 The panel portion 217 has an outer panel insertion groove 2171, and the tail end of the cylindrical body 213 has a cylindrical body insertion groove 2131. When the rear cover 22 is installed on the device body 21, the edge of the cover shell 222 is inserted into the outer panel insertion groove 2171 of the panel portion 217, and the inner side abutting the ring arm 223 is inserted into the cylindrical body insertion groove 2131 of the cylindrical body 213. In this way, not only can the rear cover 22 be reliably installed on the device body 21, but the sealing of the negative pressure cavity 24 formed between the rear cover 22 and the deformable part 214 can also be guaranteed.
[0074] The mouth 232 of the bottle 23 passes through the annular channel 2241 of the assembly ring 224 and is mounted on the assembly ring 224. The rim of the bottle 23 abuts against the abutting surface 2161 of the abutting part 216. (See attached...) Figures 1 to 11 In this specific example of the breast pump of the present invention, the mouth 232 of the bottle 23 is screwed onto the assembly ring 224. When the mouth 232 of the bottle 23 is screwed onto the assembly ring 224, pressure can be applied to the abutment surface 2161 of the abutment part 216, causing slight deformation of the abutment surface 2161. Thus, the device body 21 can provide pre-pressure to the bottle 23 to prevent the bottle 23 from loosening. At the same time, the device body 21 can prevent gaps from forming between the abutment surface 2161 of the abutment part 216 and the mouth rim of the bottle 23, so that milk is reliably stored in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23.
[0075] Furthermore, the rear cover 22 includes an outer abutment ring arm 225, which integrally extends from the middle of the cover shell 222 and is located outside the inner abutment ring arm 223. The outer abutment ring arm 225 is mounted on the inner side of the panel portion 217, thus allowing the rear cover 22 to be reliably mounted to the device body 21. Preferably, the panel portion 217 has an inner panel insertion slot 2172, and when the rear cover 22 is mounted to the device body 21, the outer abutment ring arm 225 is inserted into the inner panel insertion slot 2172 of the panel portion 217.
[0076] Reference Appendix Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10The breast pump device 20 includes a duckbill valve 25, which is installed on the abutment portion 216 of the device body 21. The duckbill valve 25 controls the connection state of the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21. Specifically, when the user uses the breast pump, when the negative pressure in the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 increases as the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump device 20 increases, the duckbill valve 25 prevents the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 from connecting with the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23. When the negative pressure in the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 decreases as the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24 of the breast pump device 20 decreases, the duckbill valve 25 allows the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21 to connect with the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23.
[0077] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 10 The device body 21 has a gap 218 between the horn cover 215 and the panel portion 217, allowing the deformed horn cover 215 to flip towards the panel portion 217. The horn cover 215 has a support ring 2151 facing the panel portion 217, allowing the support ring 2151 to abut against the panel portion 217. In this way, during milk expression, the support ring 2151 supports the lower side of the horn cover 215 and the panel portion 217, preventing the horn cover 215 from sagging and causing the nipple to lose balance within the milk expression chamber 211 of the device body 21, thus preventing milk leakage. Simultaneously, because the support ring 2151 is annular, it itself maintains the shape of the horn cover 215, reducing the amplitude of the horn cover 215 and ensuring no gaps form between the breast and the horn cover 215 when the user uses the breast pump.
[0078] Continue to refer to the appendix Figures 1 to 11 According to another aspect of the present invention, the milk suction device 20 of the present invention includes a milk suction unit 100 and a horn cover 215 disposed on the milk suction unit 100.
[0079] The milk suction unit 100 has a milk suction chamber 211, a milk discharge channel 212 selectively connected to the milk suction chamber 211, and a negative pressure chamber 24 independent of the milk suction chamber 211. The pressure state of the milk suction chamber 211 and the connection state of the milk discharge channel 212 change with the pressure state of the negative pressure chamber 24. When the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24 increases, the negative pressure in the milk suction chamber 211 increases, and the milk discharge channel 212 closes. When the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24 decreases, the negative pressure in the milk suction chamber 211 decreases, and the milk discharge channel 212 opens.
[0080] The horn cover 215 has a cover space 2154 and an abutting protrusion 2155. The cover space 2154 of the horn cover 215 is connected to the milk suction chamber 211 of the milk suction unit 100. The abutting protrusion 2155 is located at the connection position between the cover space 2154 and the milk suction chamber 211. The surface of the horn cover 215 that defines the cover space 2154 is a concave arc surface. In this way, on the one hand, the shape of the surface of the horn cover 215 that defines the cover space 2154 matches the shape of the breast. On the other hand, the opening size of the cover space 2154 of the horn cover 215 can be controlled to a reasonable size. When the breast is contained within the cover space 2154 of the flared cover 215, the areola abuts against the abutting protrusion 2155 of the flared cover 215. The surface of the flared cover 215 defining the cover space 2154 fits tightly against the breast, and the opening edge of the flared cover 215 fastens to the base of the breast, allowing the flared cover 215 to self-adhere to the breast, achieving "naked pumping." In other words, during breast pumping, the user does not need to hold the breast pump 20 by hand or wear a bra for support, thus improving the convenience and comfort of using the breast pump. Preferably, the flared cover 215 is flexible. For example, the flared cover 215 can be made of silicone material to make it flexible.
[0081] Specifically, the milk pumping unit 100 includes the device body 21 and the rear cover 22. The device body 21 further includes the cylindrical body 213 and the deformable portion 214. The deformable portion 214 is integrally formed at the rear of the cylindrical body 213. The milk pumping chamber 211 is formed between the cylindrical body 213 and the deformable portion 214. The milk discharge channel 212 is formed in the cylindrical body 213. The rear cover 22 is installed in the cylindrical body 213. The negative pressure chamber 24 is formed between the deformable portion 214 and the rear cover 22. When the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24 increases, the deformable portion 214 deforms towards the rear cover 22. At this time, the space in the milk pumping chamber 211 increases and the negative pressure increases. Correspondingly, when the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 24 decreases, the deformable portion 214 deforms away from the rear cover 22. At this time, the space in the milk pumping chamber 211 decreases and the negative pressure decreases.
[0082] In one specific example of the breast pump of this utility model, the horn cover 215 may be integrally formed on the front part of the cylindrical body 213 to be disposed on the breast pumping unit 100. Optionally, in other specific examples of the breast pump of this utility model, the horn cover 215 may be installed on the front part of the cylindrical body 213 to be disposed on the breast pumping unit 100.
[0083] In addition, the main body 21 of the device may also include the abutting part 216, which is integrally formed at the bottom of the cylinder 213, and the milk discharge channel 212 extends from the inner wall of the cylinder 213 to the abutting surface 2161 of the abutting part 216. The milk pumping unit 100 includes the bottle 23, which is detachably mounted on the back cover 22. After the bottle 23 is mounted on the back cover 22, the rim of the bottle 23 abuts against the abutting surface 2161 of the abutting part 216, causing the abutting part 216 to deform slightly. In this way, on the one hand, the device body 21 can provide pre-pressure to the bottle 23 to prevent the bottle 23 from loosening; on the other hand, the device body 21 can prevent gaps from forming between the abutting surface 2161 of the abutting part 216 and the rim of the bottle 23, thereby ensuring that milk is reliably stored in the milk storage chamber 231 of the bottle 23.
[0084] In addition, the milk suction unit 100 also includes the duckbill valve 25, which is disposed on the abutment portion 216 of the device body 21, and controls the connection state of the milk discharge channel 212 of the milk suction unit 100.
[0085] Appendix Figure 12This is a variation of the breast pumping device 20 of the breast pump according to the above-described preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is consistent with the attached... Figures 1 to 11 The breast pump shown differs from the breast pump device 20 in that it has an attached... Figure 12 In this specific example of the breast pump device 20 shown, the duckbill valve 25 and the device body 21 are integrally formed. The silicone material can be injection molded into an integral cylindrical body 213, the deformable part 214, the horn cover 215, the abutment part 216, and the duckbill valve 25 through a single injection molding process.
[0086] Appendix Figures 13 to 15 Another variation of the breast pumping device 20 of the breast pump of the above-described preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown, along with the attached... Figures 1 to 11 The breast pump shown differs from the breast pump device 20 in that it has an attached... Figures 13 to 15 In this specific example of the breast pump's pumping device 20 shown, the cylindrical body 213, the deformable portion 214, and the abutment portion 216 of the device body 21 are integrally formed. The deformable portion 214 is integrally formed at the rear of the cylindrical body 213, and the abutment portion 216 is integrally formed at the bottom of the cylindrical body 21. The pumping chamber 211 is formed between the cylindrical body 213 and the deformable portion 214. The milk discharge channel 212 extends from the inner wall of the cylindrical body 213 to the abutment surface 2161 of the abutment portion 216. The horn cover 215 is mounted on the front of the cylindrical body 213. That is, in the attached... Figures 13 to 15 In this specific example of the breast pumping device 20 of the present invention shown, the horn cover 215 can be removed from the front of the cylinder 213, so that, on the one hand, the horn cover 215 can be washed separately, and on the other hand, the horn cover 215 can be replaced.
[0087] Specifically, the horn cover 215 includes a horn portion 2152 and an assembly portion 2153 extending rearward and outward from the rear of the horn portion 2152. The assembly portion 2153 is mounted on the front of the cylindrical body 213, and the horn portion 2152 can cover the user's breast. It is understood that because the assembly portion 2153 of the horn cover 215 extends rearward and outward from the rear of the horn portion 2152, the inner wall of the assembly portion 2153 is inclined, extending obliquely from the connection point between the horn portion 2152 and the assembly portion 2153 towards the milk suction chamber 211 of the device body 21. When the user covers the breast with the horn portion 2152 of the horn cover 215, the connection point between the horn portion 2152 and the assembly portion 2153 of the horn cover 215 abuts against the areola. Since the inner wall of the mounting portion 2153 of the horn cover 215 is inclined, on the one hand, the mounting portion 2153 of the horn cover 215 can guide the sucked milk to the milk discharge channel 212 of the device body 21, so that the milk can be discharged smoothly. On the other hand, the connection position between the horn portion 2152 and the mounting portion 2153 of the horn cover 215 can prevent the milk from flowing back, so that the user can use the milk suction device 20 of this utility model to suck.
[0088] More specifically, the cylindrical body 213 has a cylindrical body hook 2132, and the mounting portion 2153 of the horn cover 215 has a mounting hook 21531, the mounting hook 21531 protruding circumferentially towards the mounting portion 2153, wherein the mounting hook 21531 of the mounting portion 2153 hooks the cylindrical body hook 2132 of the cylindrical body 213 to reliably install the mounting portion 2153 at the front of the cylindrical body 213, thereby reliably installing the horn cover 215 onto the cylindrical body 213.
[0089] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments.
