Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breast pumps, and in particular to a liquid level detection device for breast pumps. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of the Internet of Things (IoT), more and more home appliances are being connected to IoT technology, mainly to achieve remote control. However, as a portable device, the remote control function of breast pumps is not very meaningful. Therefore, the IoT application of breast pumps is mainly for health management of milk volume, real-time monitoring of data such as milk volume and pumping time, and as the collected data reaches a certain scale, data analysis can be carried out based on this data.

[0003] In current technology, the detection of breast milk relies heavily on sensors. Because the manufacturing cost of breast milk level detection devices is high, breast pumps equipped with such devices are relatively expensive. Mothers from ordinary working-class families rarely inquire about these high-end breast pumps.

[0004] Secondly, from a hygiene and safety perspective, breast pumps are personal devices and should not be shared with others to avoid the risk of biotransmission. The lifespan of a personal breast pump is far longer than the 6 to 12 months of breastfeeding. Therefore, from a hygiene and safety standpoint, breast pumps should be used exclusively by individuals and should not be shared with others to avoid the risk of biotransmission. Once the breastfeeding period ends, the personal breast pump must be stored away or discarded.

[0005] Secondly, in hospital gynecology and lactation clinics, it is often necessary to use breast pumps equipped with liquid level detection devices to test the mother's breastfeeding status on-site. However, these clinic breast pumps must be cleaned and sterilized after each use before they can be used by the next patient, resulting in very low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a liquid level detection device for breast pumps, which aims to achieve real-time monitoring of the milk level in breast pumps while meeting the technical requirements and safety of second-hand use, improving the product's reusability, and eliminating the risk of biological transmission. The milk level detection device can be reused multiple times, making it very suitable for use in hospital gynecology and lactation clinics, thus reducing economic costs.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A liquid level detection device for a breast pump includes: a liquid level measuring component, a liquid level signal processor, and a control and display component; furthermore, the liquid level measuring component includes a silicone sleeve; the liquid level measuring component is disposed around the breast pump component; the silicone sleeve is elastic and tightly wraps around the breast pump component during use; the silicone sleeve can be detached from the breast pump component by hand during disassembly. Furthermore, the silicone kit is equipped with a liquid level sensor. district The liquid level sensing area is connected to one end of the signal line.

[0008] Furthermore, the silicone kit tightly wraps around the bottle containing the breast pump assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the other end of the signal line is connected to the liquid level signal processor of the breast pump main unit.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid level sensing area of ​​the liquid level measuring component is an infrared sensing device.

[0011] Furthermore, the liquid level sensing area of ​​the liquid level measuring component is a capacitive sensing device.

[0012] Furthermore, the control and display components are located inside the breast pump main unit and are connected to the liquid level signal processor.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The present invention designs a detachable external liquid level detection device. Because the silicone kit of the liquid level detection device is elastic, it can tightly wrap the milk pumping component during use. When disassembly is required after work, the silicone kit can be easily separated from the milk pumping component by hand. At the same time, the used milk pumping component can be removed.

[0014] By simply replacing the liquid level detection device with a new milk expression component and connecting it to the negative pressure tubing of the breast pump unit, it can be used by another mother for milk expression. Thanks to the use of flexible silicone components, the milk expression component can be replaced without the need for disassembly tools. This eliminates the need for on-site sterilization, significantly improving work efficiency and making it ideal for use in hospital gynecology and lactation clinics.

[0015] This device can quickly match different sizes of breast pumps by configuring silicone kits of various specifications, reducing technology development and manufacturing costs, thereby lowering the product price. Furthermore, because it is an external liquid level detection device, it meets the safety requirements for second-hand use, further improving the product's reusability. When reused, the higher-value breast pump main unit and liquid level detection device are retained, while only the lower-value pumping components are replaced, thus significantly reducing economic costs.
