[0069] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9. In this embodiment, the breast pump may include: a milk suction duct 10 and a milk storage container 20.
[0070] A milk guide channel 11 is formed in the milk suction duct 10 for receiving milk from the breast. A milk outlet 12 is provided on the milk suction duct 10 , and negative pressure is transmitted to the milk guide channel 11 through the milk outlet 12 .
[0071] A milk storage space 21 is formed in the milk storage container 20. Milk in the milk guide channel 11 flows out of the milk guide channel 11 through the milk outlet 12 and flows into the milk storage space 21. The flow direction referred to here refers to direct flow into the milk storage space 21 or indirect flow (for example, through a negative pressure chamber and then into the milk storage space 21), which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
[0072] In the above manner, the negative pressure is transmitted and the milk flows out through the milk outlet 12. The milk flows along the direction of the air flow formed by the negative pressure, so that the milk will not remain in the milk guide channel 11 and the efficiency of milk extraction is higher.
[0073] In one embodiment, the milk storage container 20 is a milk bowl assembly 20, and the milk suction duct 10 is connected to the milk bowl assembly 20. In some embodiments, the milk storage container can also be a milk bottle. In this case, the bottle mouth can be directly or indirectly connected to the milk outlet 12. In some embodiments, the milk suction duct 10 can be integrally connected to the milk bowl assembly 20. In other embodiments, the milk suction duct 10 can be detachably connected to the milk bowl assembly 20, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The milk suction duct 10 can extend into the milk storage space 21.
[0074] In one embodiment, the milk bowl assembly 20 includes a bowl body 22 and a cover plate 23. The bowl body 22 and the cover plate 23 enclose a milk storage space 21, and the milk suction duct 10 is connected to the cover plate 23. In some embodiments, the milk suction duct 10 can be detachably connected to the cover plate 23 or connected integrally, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.
[0075] In one embodiment, the breast pump further includes a diaphragm support 30, which defines a negative pressure chamber 31. The negative pressure chamber 31 communicates with the milk guide channel 11 via the milk outlet 12.

[0076] In one embodiment, the diaphragm support 30 is provided with a milk outlet 32 , and the milk in the milk guide channel 11 flows out of the milk guide channel 11 through the milk outlet 12 , flows through the negative pressure chamber 31 , and then flows into the milk storage space 21 through the milk outlet 32 .
[0077] As shown in Figure 5, in another embodiment, a breast pump includes a breast shield 23a, to which a milk duct 10a is connected. A milk guide channel 11a is formed within the milk duct 10a for receiving milk from the breast. A milk outlet 12a is provided in the milk duct 10a, through which negative pressure is transmitted to the milk guide channel 11a. The breast pump may also include a diaphragm support 30a, within which a negative pressure chamber 31a is formed. The negative pressure chamber 31a communicates with the milk guide channel 11a via the milk outlet 12a. The diaphragm support 30a is provided with a milk outlet 32a. Milk in the milk guide channel 11a flows out of the milk guide channel 11a through the milk outlet 12a, then flows through the negative pressure chamber 31a and into the milk storage space through the milk outlet 32a.
[0078] In one embodiment, the breast pump further includes a main unit 40, which is configured to provide negative pressure. The main unit 40 may include a housing and components such as a negative pressure pump, a solenoid valve, a battery, and a circuit board located within the housing. The main unit 40 may be an integrated breast pump with the milk bowl assembly 20, or a separate breast pump connected to the milk bowl assembly 20 via a pipe. It should be understood that the provision of negative pressure is not limited to an electric negative pressure pump; a manual negative pressure mechanism may also be employed. This is not a limitation in the present embodiment. In some embodiments, the breast pump may not include a mechanism for providing negative pressure, but may instead provide negative pressure through external power.
[0079] In one embodiment, the breast pump further includes a main unit 40, which includes a negative pressure interface 44, which can be connected to a negative pressure pump. The main unit 40 is connected to the negative pressure chamber 31 via the negative pressure interface 44. The main unit 40 is used to generate a negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 31, which is then transmitted to the milk guide channel 11 through the milk outlet 12.
[0080] In one embodiment, the negative pressure chamber 31 is at least partially below the milk guide channel 11 when the breast pump is worn. In some embodiments, the negative pressure chamber 31 is completely below the milk guide channel 11. "Wearing" herein refers to wearing the breast pump with the upper body in a normal upright position, i.e., with the wearing surface substantially in the vertical direction.
[0081] As shown in Figure 6, in some other embodiments, the negative pressure chamber 31b may be located only partially below the milk guide channel 11b. The milk suction duct 10b is connected to the cover plate 23b, and a milk guide channel 11b is formed within the milk suction duct 10b. The milk guide channel 11b is used to receive milk from the breast. The milk suction duct 10b is provided with a milk outlet 12b, which is located at the end of the milk suction duct 10b. Negative pressure is transmitted to the milk guide channel 11b through the milk outlet 12b. The breast pump may also include a diaphragm support 30b, with a negative pressure chamber 31b formed therein. The negative pressure chamber 31b communicates with the milk guide channel 11b through the milk outlet 12b. The diaphragm support 30b is provided with a milk outlet 32b. Milk in the milk guide channel 11b flows out of the milk guide channel 11b through the milk outlet 12b, then flows through the negative pressure chamber 31b and into the milk storage space through the milk outlet 32b.
[0082] In the above manner, the negative pressure chamber is at least partially below the milk guide channel, which can improve the efficiency of milk extraction and avoid milk storage.
[0083] In one embodiment, the breast pump further comprises a diaphragm 50 , which is disposed in the negative pressure chamber 31 . When the breast pump is worn, the diaphragm 50 is at least partially driven at a position lower than the milk guide channel 11 .
[0084] In the above manner, the negative pressure chamber is at least partially below the milk guide channel, which can improve the efficiency of milk extraction and avoid milk storage.
[0085] In one embodiment, the milk outlet 12 is located at the lower side of the milk duct 10. By arranging the milk outlet 12 at the lower side of the milk duct 10, milk accumulation can be further reduced, and milk residue in the milk duct 10 can be prevented. In addition, the sucked milk can partially flow out of the milk duct 10 by gravity, which can further save power and improve milk extraction efficiency.
[0086] As shown in Figure 7, in another embodiment, the milk outlet 12c is located at the end of the milk duct 10c, slightly below it. The milk duct 10c is connected to the cover plate 23c, and a milk conduction channel 11c is formed within the milk duct 10c. The milk conduction channel 11c is used to receive milk from the breast. The milk duct 10c is provided with a milk outlet 12c, which is located at the end of the milk duct 10c. Negative pressure is transmitted to the milk conduction channel 11c through the milk outlet 12c. The breast pump may further include a diaphragm support 30c, having a negative pressure chamber 31c formed therein. The negative pressure chamber 31c communicates with the milk conduction channel 11c through the milk outlet 12c. The diaphragm support 30c is provided with a milk outlet 32c. Milk in the milk conduction channel 11c flows out of the milk conduction channel 11c through the milk outlet 12c, then flows through the negative pressure chamber 31c and into the milk storage space through the milk outlet 32c.
[0087] In one embodiment, the milk outlet 12 is located between the end of the milk duct 10 and the cover plate 23. Milk in the milk guide channel 11 flows out of the milk duct 10 through the milk outlet 12 under the action of negative pressure. The milk duct 10 includes a distal end away from the cover plate 23, and the milk outlet 12 is located between the cover plate 23 and the distal end. This positioning of the milk outlet 12 between the end of the milk duct 10 and the cover plate 23 makes the overall structure of the breast pump more compact, improves milk extraction efficiency, and prevents milk accumulation.
[0088] As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 8, in one embodiment, the distal end of the milk duct 10 is a closed end. In one embodiment, the end of the milk duct 10 that is away from the body when worn is closed. The end of the milk duct 10 that is away from the body when worn is closed to form a closed end. The milk outlet 12 is located between the closed end and the cover plate 23.

The double-layer structure 100 is at least partially made of a light-transmissive material, allowing a user to observe the milk duct 11 or the interior of the breast shield 60 through the double-layer structure 100. The double-layer structure 100 includes at least two layers, one of which is a portion of the breast shield 60, and the other of which is a portion of the milk duct 10.
[0092] Optionally, the narrow end of the breast shield 60 at least partially overlaps with the milk duct 10 to form a double-layer structure 100 .
[0093] In one embodiment, the area of the double-layer structure 100 made of the light-transmissive material is above the milk guide channel 11 .
[0094] In one embodiment, one end of the breast shield 60 is inserted into the milk duct 10. In other embodiments, the milk duct may also be inserted into one end of the breast shield, and this embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. In this embodiment of the present application, the breast shield 60 can be connected to the main unit 40. There is no connection or contact between the breast shield 60 and the milk duct 10. The narrow end 61 of the breast shield 60 is simply inserted into the milk duct 10 without an interference fit or threaded connection. The breast shield 60 is fixed by the main unit 40.
[0095] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the milk bowl assembly 20 is made of a light-transmitting material so that a user can observe the milk guide channel 11 and the interior of the breast shield 60 through the milk bowl assembly 20 and the double-layer structure 100 , or observe the interior of the milk storage space 21 through the milk bowl assembly 20 .
