Description

Pneumatic-electrical connection device for electric breast pump and electric breast pump having the same Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic-electrical connection device for an electric breast pump, and more particularly, to a pneumatic-electrical connection device having a pneumatic-electrical co-linear structure and applied to an electric breast pump, and an electric breast pump having the pneumatic-electrical connection device. Background Art

[0002] Electric breast pumps on the market generally have an air suction tube for suctioning air. Some electric breast pumps are also equipped with additional wires for connecting to electric heaters, vibrators, low-frequency devices or other electrical devices to provide power operation, thereby giving the electric breast pumps more functions in use.

[0003] However, conventional electric breast pumps have separate suction and electrical wiring. This not only creates problems with the various wiring, which can easily become mixed up, lost, or tangled, but also requires users to identify the type of wiring and then individually connect the connectors to the corresponding sockets when assembling the pump. This is not only complex but also prone to damage due to incorrect assembly. Furthermore, disassembly and storage of the components after use is a major issue.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1 and 8 , which illustrate an exemplary embodiment of an electric breast pump according to the present invention. A second aspect of the present invention provides an electric breast pump that, in addition to the components and structure of the various embodiments of the pneumatic-electrical connection device for an electric breast pump according to the first aspect of the present invention, may also include an adapter 7. The adapter 7 may include a first connecting portion 71 and a second connecting portion 72 that communicate with each other.

[0067] In one embodiment, the cover 1 of the pneumatic-electrical connection device for an electric breast pump of the present invention is detachably coupled to the first coupling portion 71, and the third through-hole 13 is oriented toward the first coupling portion 71. In this embodiment, the first hollow conduit 3 communicates with the interior of the adapter 7 through the third through-hole 13. When the other end of the first hollow conduit 3, which is coupled to the third through-hole 13, is connected to the air pressure regulating assembly, the pressure in the adapter 7 and other components coupled thereto can be controlled and adjusted.

[0068] In one embodiment, the second connecting portion 72 may include a cup body 721 and a heating unit 722. The heating unit 722 is detachably mounted on the cup body 721 and has a fifth electrical connection portion 7221 electrically connected to the first electrical connection portion 21. In this embodiment, the first power cord 2 of the air-to-electric connection device for an electric breast pump can provide power to the adapter 7 via the first electrical connection portion 21, thereby increasing the temperature of the cup body 721 via the heating unit 722.

[0069] In one embodiment, the adapter 7 may further include a third joint portion 73 , which may be interconnected with the first joint portion 71 and the second joint portion 72 . The electric breast pump of the present invention may further include a liquid collecting bottle 8 detachably coupled to the third joint portion 73 .

[0070] According to the present invention, when a user attaches the cup body 721 to the area where the electric breast pump of the present invention is intended to be used, such as, but not limited to, the breast, the control unit 64 can be used to adjust the suction force of the pump 62. When the pump 62 is connected to the first hollow conduit 3 and generates suction, it actually draws air from the space between the adapter 7, causing pressure changes within the adapter 7. The periodic operation of the pump 62 causes the pressure within the cavity of the adapter 7 to change accordingly, generating suction that stimulates the breast and extracts milk. The extracted milk enters the space between the adapter 7 through the cup body 721 and flows into the collection bottle 8 for storage.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 1 and 9 . Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of the electric breast pump of the present invention. In this embodiment, the cover 1 may further include an extension portion 15 extending toward the first engagement portion 71, wherein the extension portion 15 may have a first coupling portion 151. The electric breast pump may further include a fastener 9, which may include a second coupling portion 91. The second coupling portion 91 may be disposed on one side of the fastener 9 and detachably engage with the first coupling portion 151. As shown in Figure 9 , in this embodiment, the first coupling portion 151 may be disposed on the outside of the extension portion 15, and the second coupling portion 91 may be disposed on the inside of the fastener 9.

[0072] In one embodiment, the fastener 9 may be a ring-shaped structure, and the first coupling portion 151 and the second coupling portion 91 may be, for example but not limited to, corresponding threaded structures.

[0073] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the cover body 1 may include an upper cover body 101 and a lower cover body 102, wherein the accommodating space 14 may be arranged between the upper cover body 101 and the lower cover body 102, the second through hole 12 and the third through hole 13 may be opened in the lower cover body 102, and the extension portion 15 may be arranged on the side of the lower cover body 102 facing the first joint portion 71.

[0074] In one embodiment, the fastener 9 may further include an anti-slip structure 92, such as, but not limited to, intermittently arranged convex structures or concave structures, or the anti-slip structure 92 may be made of an anti-slip material. The anti-slip structure 92 may be disposed on the other side of the fastener 9 from which the second coupling portion 91 is disposed.

[0075] In one embodiment, the first engaging portion 71 may further include a first positioning portion 711, and the extension portion 15 of the cover 1 may further include a second positioning portion 152, wherein the first positioning portion 711 may engage with the second positioning portion 152. In this embodiment, through the default engagement position of the first positioning portion 711 and the second positioning portion 152, the first electrical connection portion 21 and the fifth electrical connection portion 7221 may be aligned with each other and engaged with each other.

[0076] According to the present invention, the first positioning portion 711 and the second positioning portion 152 can be configured to engage with each other, electrically connecting the first electrical connection portion 21 to the fifth electrical connection portion 7221. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG9 , the first positioning portion 711 can be a convex portion, and the second positioning portion 152 can be a concave portion. In other embodiments, the first positioning portion 711 can also be a concave portion (not shown), and the second positioning portion 152 can also be a convex portion (not shown). The shapes or structures of the first positioning portion 711 and the second positioning portion 152 are not limited to this.

[0077] According to the aforementioned assembly and structural design of the present invention, during actual operation, when the first positioning portion 711 engages with the second positioning portion 152, the first electrical connection portion 21 is connected to the fifth electrical connection portion 7221, eliminating the need for the user to separately confirm whether the first electrical connection portion 21 and the fifth electrical connection portion 7221 are properly connected. When the second coupling portion 91 of the fastener 9 engages with the first coupling portion 151, the stability of the cover 1 and the first coupling portion 71 is further enhanced. Even if the pneumatic-electrical connection device for an electric breast pump or the electric breast pump of the present invention vibrates or moves during use, the first electrical connection portion 21 and the fifth electrical connection portion 7221 will maintain an electrical connection, preventing loosening and causing the device to cease operation.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 1, 9, and 10. In one embodiment, the extension portion 15 may have a top portion 155 and a bottom portion 156 opposite each other, wherein the top portion 155 may be adjacent to the accommodating space 14, and the bottom portion 156 may be adjacent to the first engaging portion 71. Preferably, the extension portion 15 may include a plurality of plates 157, wherein at least one gap 158 may be formed between the plurality of plates 157, wherein at least one gap 158 has an opening 159 at the bottom portion 156. In this embodiment, when the second engaging portion 91 of the fastener 9 is separated from the first engaging portion 151, the opening 159 at the bottom portion 156 of the gap 158 is larger, allowing the circumference of the bottom portion 156 of the extension portion 15 to be slightly larger than the circumference of the top portion 155 of the extension portion 15, thereby allowing the second positioning portion 152 to easily engage with the opposing first positioning portion 711. When the second coupling portion 91 of the fastener 9 is coupled to the first coupling portion 151, the opening 159 of the gap 158 is smaller, so that the circumference of the bottom 156 of the extension portion 15 is reduced to slightly larger than the circumference of the first coupling portion 71, so that the extension portion 15 is firmly coupled to the first coupling portion 71, further increasing the tightness of the coupling between the cover body 1 and the adapter 7, so that the gas communicating with the first hollow conduit 3 and the third through hole 13 is not easily discharged from the gap where the first coupling portion 71 and the extension portion 15 are coupled, and is dissipated into the surrounding environment.

[0079] According to the present invention, the cover 1 is first joined to the first joining portion 71 via the opposing positioning portions, and the two are then securely connected via the fastener 9. This allows the pneumatic-electrical connection device for an electric breast pump of the present invention to accurately connect the first electrical connection portion 21 and the fifth electrical connection portion 7221 during disassembly and assembly, while also preventing deformation or damage to the cover 1 or the first joining portion 71 at the joint due to repeated disassembly and assembly.

[0080] In summary, through the components and structure of the pneumatic-electrical connection device for an electric breast pump of the present invention, users can simultaneously plug the hollow conduit and power cord of the pneumatic-electrical connection device into corresponding sockets, easily and accurately connecting and assembling both conduits at once. Furthermore, the collinear structure employed by the pneumatic-electrical connection device of the present invention facilitates storage, making it less likely to be lost and less likely to become tangled or damaged during use. Furthermore, both ends of the pneumatic-electrical connection cord of the present invention can be connected to the first pneumatic-electrical connection portion, enabling successful assembly without requiring extensive user identification, further simplifying use.

[0081] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be as set forth in the appended claims.
