[0095] In some embodiments, the accessory identification device includes a first device arranged on the breast pump body.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first device is a visual identification device, and the first accessory includes an identification element, and the first device is used to identify the identification element in the first accessory to identify the accessory information.

[0134] Optionally, the light emitter comprises an LED lamp, a laser lamp, and the light receiver comprises a color sensor.

[0135] In some embodiments, a light transmission channel (not shown in the figure) is provided between the accessory identification device and the reflection area of the first accessory reflecting the first light beam; the light receiver is configured to identify the length of the light transmission channel according to the receiving time of the light beam, and identify the accessory information according to the length of the light transmission channel.

[0136] Referring to FIG. 14, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of a control method of a breast pump according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 14, the control method 100 comprises steps 110 to 120.

[0137] Step 110: controlling an accessory identification device to identify accessory information of the first accessory.

[0138] In some embodiments, step 110 comprises the following steps.

[0139] (1) controlling a visual identification device to identify an identification element in the first accessory.

[0140] (2) identifying accessory information of the first accessory according to the identification element.

[0141] In some embodiments, the identification element comprises one or more of a combination of color, barcode, QR code, text, pattern, number, and letter.

[0142] In some embodiments, the breast pump body comprises a processor and a memory, and the memory stores a correspondence table of identification elements and accessory information. The processor acquires an image of the visual identification device, identifies the identification element in the image according to an identification model built-in, and queries the corresponding accessory information in the correspondence table according to the identification element.

[0143] For the remaining details, please refer to the above description of the present application, which will not be repeated here.

[0144] In some embodiments, step 110 comprises the following steps.

[0145] controlling an induction identification device to induce an induction device in the first accessory, and acquiring accessory information of the first accessory sent by the induction device.

[0146] For example, the host chip sends electromagnetic waves to a second coil in the induction device through a first coil in the induction identification device, the second coil transmits data to the chip, and the chip feeds back the accessory information to the host chip after receiving the data.

[0147] For the remaining details, please refer to the above description of the present application, which will not be repeated here.

[0148] In some implementations, step 110 includes the following steps.

[0149] (1) Control the light emitter to emit a light beam to the first accessory;

[0150] (2) Acquire the light beam reflected by the first accessory and received by the light receiver;

[0151] (3) Identify the accessory information of the first accessory based on the beam.

[0152] In some embodiments, the reflective area of ​​the reflective light emitter in the first accessory that transmits multiple light beams has a specific color. Because different colors have different absorption and reflectivity of light beams, the light beams received by the light receiver will differ, and the color of the first accessory can be determined based on the difference in the light beams.

[0153] Furthermore, differences in light beams include light intensity, wavelength, etc.

[0154] Specifically, different colors have different abilities to absorb and reflect light. Darker objects usually absorb more light and reflect less light, so the intensity of the reflected light received will be weaker. Conversely, lighter objects reflect more light and the intensity of the reflected light received will be stronger.

[0155] Specifically, objects have different absorption and reflection characteristics for different wavelengths of light. For example, a red object mainly reflects red light and absorbs other colors of light. Therefore, when white light (containing all visible light wavelengths) shines on this object, only red light is reflected back, and other colors of light are absorbed. In this way, the received light is mainly red, that is, the wavelength of the received reflected light is within the wavelength range corresponding to red light.

[0156] For example, the breast pump body includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores a correspondence table between light intensity and accessory information. The processor obtains the light intensity of the light received by the light receiver and queries the corresponding accessory information in the correspondence table based on the light intensity.

[0157] For example, the breast pump body includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores a correspondence table between wavelength and accessory information. The processor obtains the wavelength of the light received by the light receiver and queries the corresponding accessory information in the correspondence table according to the wavelength.

[0158] Step 120: Perform a preset operation based on the accessory information.

[0159] In some embodiments, the accessory information includes at least one of the usage duration of the first accessory and the number of times the first accessory is used, in which case step 120 includes the following steps.

[0160] (1) Obtain the limit use time length of the first accessory and / or the limit use times of the first accessory.

[0161] (2) When the use time length of the first accessory is greater than or equal to the limit use time length and / or the use times of the first accessory is greater than or equal to the limit use times, generate prompt information for replacing the first accessory.

[0162] The limit use time length and the limit use times can reflect the service life of the accessory. For example, if the diaphragm is used for too long, the suction force of the breast pump will decrease. Through the above method, the user can be notified to replace the first accessory in time to prevent the performance of the breast pump from decreasing due to the long use time of the first accessory.

[0163] In some embodiments, the accessory information includes the model of the milk storage container, and step 120 includes the following steps.

[0164] (1) According to the model of the milk storage container, match a capacity calculation program that matches the size and shape of the milk storage container of the model.

[0165] (2) Obtain the calculation parameters required by the capacity calculation program.

[0166] (3) Determine the current milk pumping volume or the cumulative milk pumping volume of at least a certain stage of the breast pump according to the capacity calculation program and the calculation parameters.

[0167] (4) Display or store or send the current milk pumping volume or the cumulative milk pumping volume of at least a certain stage.

[0168] In some embodiments, a liquid level sensor is arranged in the milk storage container, and the calculation parameters required by the capacity calculation program include the liquid level height in the milk storage container, so as to calculate the volume of the breast milk in the milk storage container.

[0169] Optionally, the calculation parameters include one or more of the liquid level height, the weight, and the pressure.

[0170] In some embodiments, the current milk pumping volume or the cumulative milk pumping volume of at least a certain stage can be displayed on the display screen of the breast pump, or the current milk pumping volume or the cumulative milk pumping volume of at least a certain stage is sent to an electronic device in communication with the breast pump, and the current milk pumping volume or the cumulative milk pumping volume of at least a certain stage is displayed on the screen of the electronic device.
