Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine manual milk expression technology, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine manual milk expression anti-splash collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Mastitis is an acute suppurative disease caused by heat toxins invading the breast. When it occurs during lactation, it is called "external mastitis". Clinically, external mastitis is the most common and is frequently seen in postpartum lactating women.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) recognizes the causes of mastitis primarily as milk stasis, liver stagnation and stomach heat, and external pathogenic factors. TCM treatment of mastitis is highly effective, emphasizing early intervention and prioritizing elimination. For stagnation, the focus is on unblocking the flow; for suppuration, thorough drainage is essential. TCM external treatments, in particular, are widely used in clinical practice due to their safety, effectiveness, operability, and repeatability. The technique involves kneading, pushing, squeezing, and grasping with the fingertips to massage the hardened lumps in the affected breast, kneading and grasping radially from the base of the breast towards the areola, causing the retained milk to be expelled in a jet-like manner until the lumps disappear, the breast softens, the retained milk is completely drained, and the pain is significantly reduced.

[0004] In existing technologies, milk splashing is a common and troublesome problem during the process of milk expression using traditional Chinese medicine techniques. It not only wastes milk but may also cause environmental pollution and even pose occupational exposure risks to medical staff.

[0005] Therefore, a traditional Chinese medicine technique for milk drainage and anti-splash collection device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a milk collection device for preventing splashing during traditional Chinese medicine breast milk expression. It includes a milk collection container 1 made of transparent material for easy observation of the milk condition and liquid level. A guide tube 2 is connected to the top of the milk collection container 1, and a transparent cover 3 is connected to the end of the guide tube 2. The transparent cover 3 is made of transparent medical-grade plastic, allowing medical personnel to easily observe the milk's condition, such as color and texture. A cone-shaped transparent expansion cover 4 is connected to the opening of the transparent cover 3. Positioned in front of the breast, the transparent expansion cover 4 can prevent milk from spraying outwards. An arc-shaped drip plate 5 is connected to the transparent expansion cover 4. The curved drip plate 5 is located below the breast to collect some dripping milk. The transparent cover 3 is connected to a universal rod 6, which allows the transparent expansion cover 4 and the curved drip plate 5 to be stably positioned and can be adjusted arbitrarily to better collect milk. The end of the universal rod 6 is connected to a base 7, and the milk collection container 1 is placed on the base 7. The transparent cover 3 is connected to a negative pressure component 8, which enables the device to suck milk. After massage, the nipple is inserted into the transparent cover 3, and the transparent expansion cover 4 covers the front of the breast to further discharge residual milk.

[0018] Specifically, the milk collection container 1 includes a transparent bottle body 101, a transparent bottle cap 102 threadedly connected to the transparent bottle body 101, a first pipe connector 103 threadedly connected to the top of the transparent bottle cap 102, and a guide pipe 2 connected to the first pipe connector 103, dividing the milk collection container 1 into two parts: the transparent bottle body 101 and the transparent bottle cap 102, so as to facilitate pouring out milk and cleaning the inner wall.

[0019] Furthermore, the negative pressure assembly 8 includes a second pipe connector 801 disposed on the transparent cover 3. The second pipe connector 801 is connected to an air pipe 802, and the end of the air pipe 802 is connected to an air pump 803. A pressure reducing valve 804 is installed on the transparent cover 3. The air pump 803 sucks away the air inside the transparent cover 3, making the internal space of the transparent cover 3 negative pressure, thereby promoting the discharge of milk. The pressure reducing valve 804 can release excessive pressure, keeping the negative pressure within a safe and comfortable range. The pressure reducing valve 804 usually has a certain pressure threshold. When the pressure exceeds this threshold, the valve will open to reduce pressure.

[0020] Furthermore, the air pump 803 is provided with a protective shell 9 on its outer side. The protective shell 9 is fixedly connected to the base 7. The base 7 has support feet at the four corners of its bottom. The protective shell 9 is used to protect the air pump 803, and the base 7 can support the milk collection container 1 and the air pump 803.

[0021] It is worth noting that a storage battery 10 is installed inside the base 7. The storage battery 10 is connected to the air pump 803 and the charging interface through wires. The storage battery 10 can be used as a power source to make the device easy to carry.

[0022] It is worth noting that an arc-shaped positioning ring 11 is provided on the top of the base 7, and the milk collection container 1 is placed inside the arc-shaped positioning ring 11. A rubber pad 12 is provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped positioning ring 11 to position and fix the milk collection container 1, so as to collect milk when expressing milk and avoid spillage caused by tilting.

[0023] Among them, the air pump 803 is existing technology and will not be described in detail; at the same time, this utility model also includes a power supply, a controller and a switch, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail.

[0024] Working principle and procedure: Before milk expression, the patient is seated. The position of the transparent expansion cover 4 is adjusted using the universal lever 6, so that the transparent expansion cover 4 is positioned in front of the nipple, while the curved drip plate 5 is positioned below the nipple. Both the transparent expansion cover 4 and the curved drip plate 5 are at a certain distance from the patient's breast to facilitate massage. Subsequently, the practitioner can perform massage and other techniques to express milk. The expressed milk is blocked by the transparent expansion cover 4 to prevent splashing, and some milk will drip onto the curved drip plate 5. By tilting the curved drip plate 5, the milk can flow into the transparent cover 3, and then the milk is guided into the drainage tube 2. To avoid wasting milk, the patient's nipple is inserted into the transparent cover 3 after massage, while the transparent expansion cover 4 covers the front of the breast. The air pump 803 of the negative pressure assembly 8 is activated, and the air inside the transparent cover 3 is discharged through the air tube 802 and the air pump 803, creating a negative pressure state inside the transparent cover 3 to promote the discharge of residual milk. The pressure reducing valve 804 can release excessive pressure, keeping the negative pressure within a safe and comfortable range. The pressure reducing valve 804 usually has a certain pressure threshold. When the pressure exceeds this threshold, the valve will open to reduce pressure, effectively reducing the patient's discomfort during milk expression.
