Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a breast pump holder. Background Technology

[0002] A breast pump is a tool that helps mothers express milk from their breasts. The expressed milk can be stored in a milk storage container. With regular use, it can not only help unclog milk ducts and maintain milk supply, but also allow mothers to continue feeding their infants with stored breast milk when they are unable to breastfeed directly.

[0003] There are various types of breast pumps on the market, which can be divided into two categories based on their power source: manual breast pumps, which generate suction by pressing the handle with your hand; and electric breast pumps, which rely on a motor to generate suction. Regardless of whether it's a manual or electric breast pump, during use, it's usually necessary to gently support the milk collection bottle with one hand to provide weight support and maintain the pump's stability. Given the typical pumping time of 20-30 minutes, prolonged hand support can be tiring, and if the hand becomes loose, the breast shield may not fit properly against the breast, potentially leading to air leakage and difficulty in pumping.

[0004] There are breast pumps on the market that require no manual operation and rely on wearable special clothing to support the pump, but these only work for electric breast pumps.

[0005] Therefore, there is a market demand for a breast pump stand that can provide support for both manual and electric breast pumps. Utility Model Content

[0021] A breast pump stand can be used as a breastfeeding aid, placed directly on a table to support the breast pump's milk collection cup; it can also be installed on furniture, such as chairs or tables, on the frame of the chair or table, so that the chair or table has a breastfeeding aid function.

[0022] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment takes a breast pump holder installed on a chair as an example to explain the structure of the breast pump holder in detail.

[0023] A breast pump stand includes a cup holder 1 for holding the breast pump's milk collection cup and a connecting rod 2 for supporting the cup holder 1. (See attached image) Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the linkage 2 is mounted on the support frame 7 of the chair.

[0024] Regarding linkage 2: The linkage 2 is adjustable and is equipped with a linkage angle locking device 3 to lock the linkage 2 in its adjusted state. By adjusting the linkage 2, the position of the cup holder 1 can be adjusted so that the milk collection cup of the breast pump can be placed in the cup holder 1, making the position of the milk collection cup conform to the body position of each mother.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the linkage 2 in this embodiment includes two connecting rods connected end to end in sequence: an upper connecting rod 21 and a lower connecting rod 22 whose upper end is pivotally connected to the lower end of the upper connecting rod 21 via a second axis X2. A cup holder 1 is installed on the upper end of the upper connecting rod 21. A linkage angle locking device 3 is disposed between the lower end of the upper connecting rod 21 and the upper end of the lower connecting rod 22. After the linkage angle locking device 3 is locked, the upper connecting rod 21 and the lower connecting rod 22 cannot rotate around the second axis X2.

[0026] The linkage angle locking device 3 is applicable to any structure capable of controlling the locking or unlocking of two pivotally connected components. In this embodiment, as shown in the attached... Figure 2As shown, the linkage angle locking device 3 includes a first toothed groove ring at the lower end of the upper linkage 21, a second toothed groove ring 32 at the upper end of the lower linkage 22, a locking tooth 33 that slides along the second axis X2, and a linkage unlocking button 31 (not shown) that slides along the second axis X2 at the lower end of the upper linkage 21 and abuts against one side of the locking tooth 33. It also includes a linkage lock elastic element, i.e., a linkage lock spring, abutting against the other side of the locking tooth 33. When locked, the linkage lock elastic element pushes the locking tooth 33 so that it simultaneously inserts into both the first toothed groove ring and the second toothed groove ring 32. When the connecting rod lock elastic element is overcome and the connecting rod unlock button 31 is pressed, the locking tooth 33 is pushed to disengage from the first toothed ring and fully enter the second toothed ring 32, thus unlocking the connecting rod angle lock device 3. The upper connecting rod 21 can be rotated arbitrarily relative to the lower connecting rod 22 around the second axis X2. When the connecting rod unlock button 31 is released, under the action of the connecting rod lock elastic element, the locking tooth 33 is pushed to simultaneously insert into the first toothed ring and the second toothed ring 32, restoring the lock.

[0027] As attached Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the breast pump bracket is installed on a chair. The connecting rod frame 2 also includes a base 23 that is fixed or detachably mounted on the chair support frame 7 on one side. In this example, in order for the lower connecting rod 22 to be able to adjust the angle between itself and the base 23 and move in the left and right directions, while maintaining a relatively stable position, the assembly structure is also simple. The cooperation between the base 23 and the lower connecting rod 22 is as follows: the base 23 includes a fixed crossbar 23a, the outer circular surface of which is provided with an outer circumferential toothed ring along the circumferential direction, and the lower end of the lower connecting rod 22 is provided with an assembly structure that can be detachably assembled onto an object, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the assembly structure at the lower end of the lower connecting rod 22 is a ring seat 22a. An inner circumferential gear ring 22b is provided on the inner circular surface of the ring seat 22a along the circumferential direction. The ring seat 22a can be axially inserted and removed from the fixed crossbar 23a, and the inner circumferential gear ring 22b meshes with the outer circumferential gear ring. When adjusting the angle, the ring seat 22a is removed from the fixed crossbar 23a and adjusted to the required engagement angle. Then, the ring seat 22a is axially reattached to the corresponding position on the fixed crossbar 23a in the left-right direction, i.e., axially, and positioned by the meshing angle between the inner circumferential gear ring 22b and the outer circumferential gear ring.

[0028] In this embodiment, the position of the cup holder 1 is adjusted by adjusting the angle of the lower connecting rod 22 relative to the base 23, and / or by adjusting the position of the upper connecting rod 21 relative to the lower connecting rod 22.

[0029] Without illustration, if the breast pump stand is not a mechanism on the chair, but a product that is a breastfeeding aid that can be placed directly on the table for use with the breast pump, the base can also include a chassis placed on the table, with the fixed crossbar 23a located above the chassis and one end fixed to the chassis.

[0030] Regarding cup holder 1: To suit the structure of the above-mentioned linkage 2, see attached... Figure 1-5 As shown, the cup holder 1 in this embodiment includes a cup base 11 pivotally connected to the upper end of the upper connecting rod 21 via a first shaft X1, a cup holder 12 that can slide up and down on the cup base 11, and a height adjustment mechanism 5 disposed between the cup holder 12 and the cup base 11.

[0031] A cup holder angle locking device 4 is provided at the pivot point between the cup base 11 of the cup holder 1 and the upper end of the upper connecting rod 21. After adjusting the position of the cup holder 1 by adjusting the connecting rod 2, the angle of the cup holder 1 relative to the upper connecting rod 21 is adjusted by unlocking the cup holder angle locking device 4, so that the cup holder 1 is basically vertical, conforming to the body position of mothers when breastfeeding. In this embodiment, as shown in the attached... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the structure and operating principle of the cup holder angle locking device 4 are the same as those of the aforementioned linkage angle locking device 3. By pressing or releasing the cup holder unlock button, the cup holder angle locking device 4 can be unlocked or locked again. When the cup holder angle locking device 4 is unlocked, the angle of the cup holder 1 relative to the upper linkage 21 can be adjusted.

[0032] Detailed structure of cup holder 12: Cup holder 12 includes a base 121, a cup wall 122 extending upward from the rear side of the base 121, and adjustment straps 123 at both ends connected to the left and right sides of the cup wall 122.

[0033] The cup wall 122 includes an upper cup wall 122a that can slide up and down on the cup holder 11, and a lower cup wall 122b that can slide up and down on the upper cup wall 122a. A base 121 is fixed to the lower edge of the lower cup wall 122b. A height adjustment mechanism 5 is located between the upper cup wall 122a and the cup holder 11, and a depth adjustment mechanism 6 is located between the upper cup wall 122a and the lower cup wall 122b. By unlocking the height adjustment mechanism 5, the relative vertical position of the upper cup wall 122a and the cup holder 11 can be adjusted, i.e., the height of the entire cup holder 12 relative to the connecting rod 2 can be adjusted. By unlocking the depth adjustment mechanism 6, the relative vertical position between the upper cup wall 122a and the lower cup wall 122b can be adjusted, i.e., the depth of the entire cup holder 12 can be adjusted.

[0034] Adjustable straps 123 are installed between the two side walls of the upper cup wall 122a and between the two side walls of the lower cup wall 122b. The adjustable straps 123 are either adjustable straps or elastic bands. The base 121, the cup wall 122, and the adjustable straps 123 form a cup holder cavity with adjustable depth and width to accommodate milk collection cups of various heights, thicknesses, and sizes.

[0035] Regarding height adjustment mechanism 5, see attached... Figure 3As shown, the slide rails on both sides of the cup holder 11 are inserted into the slide grooves on both sides of the upper cup wall 122a. A cup holder button and a cup holder spring (not shown) are slidably installed inside the cup holder 11. The upper cup wall 122a has an upper cup wall channel extending in the vertical direction and multiple height locking grooves evenly distributed vertically and connected to the upper cup wall channel. The cup holder button has height locking teeth. When the height adjustment mechanism 5 is locked, the height locking teeth are inserted into the corresponding height locking grooves. Pressing the cup holder button against the cup holder spring causes the height locking teeth to disengage from the corresponding height locking grooves and enter the upper cup wall channel. At this time, the height adjustment mechanism 5 is unlocked, and the upper cup wall 122a can be raised and lowered. Releasing the cup holder button causes the height locking teeth to re-lock into the corresponding height locking grooves under the action of the cup holder spring.

[0036] Regarding the depth adjustment mechanism 6, see attached... Figure 5 As shown, the lower cup wall 122b is inserted upward into the upper cup wall 122a. The upper cup wall 122a has a cup holder button and a cup holder spring that slide horizontally. The lower cup wall 122b has multiple depth locking grooves that are evenly distributed vertically. The cup holder button has a locking ring that fits onto the lower cup wall 122b. When the depth adjustment mechanism 6 is locked, the locking ring is engaged in the corresponding depth locking groove. Pressing the cup holder button against the cup holder spring causes the locking ring to disengage from the corresponding depth locking groove. At this time, the depth adjustment mechanism 6 is unlocked, and the lower cup wall 122b can move up and down within the locking ring to adjust the depth of the receiving cavity. Releasing the cup holder button causes the locking ring to move into the corresponding depth locking groove and re-lock under the action of the cup holder spring.

[0037] The above is in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-6 A detailed description of the breast pump bracket in this embodiment. In addition, unless otherwise shown in the figure, the structure of the linkage 2 can also be a parallelogram mechanism. An angle locking mechanism can be set at any pivot joint of the parallelogram mechanism. Of the two opposing links on the parallelogram mechanism, one can be mounted on the base 23, and the other can be mounted on the cup holder 11. In this case, the cup holder 11 can be directly fixed to the link.

[0038] In use, the breast pump stand can be placed on a table or mounted on furniture such as a chair or table. In this embodiment, it is mounted on the chair support 7 via the base 23. The breastfeeding mother sits in the chair and places the breast pump in the cup holder 1 of the breast pump stand. By adjusting the angle and left / right position of the ring seat 22a, the angle of the upper connecting rod 21 relative to the lower connecting rod 22, and the angle, height, and depth of the cup holder 12, the breast pump in the cup holder 1 can be positioned to fit the breastfeeding mother's body shape, allowing for milk expression. During milk expression, the breast pump stand provides support and lift, making it suitable for electric breast pumps, and especially for manual breast pumps. Unlike traditional manual breast pumps where one hand must hold the pump to ensure the bell-shaped cover fits the areola, both hands can press the handles to generate stable suction, improving milk flow efficiency and comfort.

[0039] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
