Description
Breast pump and its breast pumping device, horn cover and control method of breast pumping device TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a breast pump, in particular to a breast pump and its breast pumping device, horn cover and control method of breast pumping device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, wearable breast pumps have become popular, which allow users to be placed in underwear, realizing hands-free. For example, in the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN216571014U, the inventor discloses a wearable breast pump, which comprises a breast pump host, a breast pump cylinder, a milk storage cup, a horn cover and a duckbill valve. The breast pump host is connected with the breast pump cylinder, the breast pump cylinder is connected with the milk storage cup, the milk storage cup is connected with the horn cover, and the duckbill valve is connected with the horn cover. The breast pump host is used to contract the breast pump cylinder to generate negative pressure at the horn cover, so as to suck milk in the horn cover. The duckbill valve is a one-way valve, which is used to close when the breast pump cylinder contracts, and is used to open and connect the horn cover and the milk storage cup when the breast pump cylinder restores to shape, so as to drain milk into the milk storage cup. The horn cover comprises a horn-shaped cover body and an assembly part connected with each other, and a assembly through hole for mounting the duckbill valve is formed below the assembly part. The assembly part is connected with the breast pump channel. The wearable breast pump only relies on the underwear to tightly attach the horn cover to the breast, which causes the problem that the wearable breast pump is prone to dislocation between the horn cover and the breast due to gravity, and once the horn cover is dislocated from the breast, it will further cause the breast pump to fail to normally suck milk.

[0124] The resilient diaphragm 20 is arranged on the assembly 10, so as to drive the gas in the breast milk suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 to be discharged through the first gas passage 102, so that the breast milk suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 can form a negative pressure environment. Specifically, the resilient diaphragm 20 is deformable, and when the resilient diaphragm 20 is deformed, the resilient diaphragm 20 can drive the gas in the breast milk suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 to be discharged through the first gas passage 102, so that the air pressure in the breast milk suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 can be reduced, so that the breast milk suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 forms a negative pressure environment.
[0125] The specific way of arranging the resilient diaphragm 20 on the assembly 10 can refer to FIG. 3, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. Specifically, the assembly 10 has a diaphragm groove 106 with a top opening, the first gas passage 102 and the diaphragm groove 106 are communicated, the resilient diaphragm 20 is bowl-shaped and has a concave cavity 201, after the edge of the resilient diaphragm 20 is sealingly lapped on the edge of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, the main body part of the resilient diaphragm 20 sinks to the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, so as to arrange the resilient diaphragm 20 on the assembly 10, in this way, it is beneficial to reduce the overall volume of the breast milk suction device 1000, and the resilient diaphragm 20 seals the top opening of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10.
[0126] Preferably, the shape of the elastic diaphragm 20 and the shape and size of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10 are matched, in such a way that the outer wall of the elastic diaphragm 20 and the inner wall of the assembly 10 for defining the diaphragm groove 106 can be fitted. When the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20 is deformed towards the direction away from the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, the gas in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 can be driven to be discharged to the diaphragm groove 106 through the first gas passage 102, so as to reduce the air pressure in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 and form a negative pressure environment in the suction cavity 101. When the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20 is deformed towards the direction close to the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, the gas in the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10 can be driven to enter the suction cavity 101 through the first gas passage 102, so as to increase the air pressure in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10. Thus, the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 alternately generates greater negative pressure and smaller negative pressure, so as to realize milk suction.
[0127] The way of driving the deformation of the elastic diaphragm 20 can be changing the pressure of the negative pressure of the concave cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20, when the pressure of the negative pressure in the concave cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20 becomes greater, the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20 is deformed towards the direction away from the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, so as to increase the negative pressure in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 by discharging the gas in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 to the diaphragm groove 106, when the pressure of the negative pressure in the concave cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20 becomes smaller, the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20 is deformed towards the direction close to the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, so as to decrease the negative pressure in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 by allowing the gas in the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10 to enter the suction cavity 101. Subsequently, how to change the pressure of the negative pressure of the concave cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20 will be described.
[0128] The milk discharge one-way valve 30 is arranged in the assembly 10, and the milk discharge one-way valve 30 is used for selectively opening and closing the milk discharge passage 105 of the assembly 10, when the milk discharge one-way valve 30 closes the milk discharge passage 105 of the assembly 10, the milk sucked is temporarily stored in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10, when the milk discharge one-way valve 30 opens the milk discharge passage 105 of the assembly 10, the milk temporarily stored in the suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 is discharged through the milk discharge passage 105.
[0129] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 3-6, the assembly 10 includes a barrel 11, a flared body 12 extending outwardly from an opening of the barrel 11, a mounting post 13 extending downwardly from a middle portion of the barrel 11, and a diaphragm mounting portion 14 disposed at a junction of the barrel 11 and the flared body 12. In the breast pump of the present disclosure, the barrel 11, the flared body 12, the mounting post 13, and the diaphragm mounting portion 14 of the assembly 10 are integrally formed, e.g., a plastic material can be used to integrally form the barrel 11, the flared body 12, the mounting post 13, and the diaphragm mounting portion 14 by way of an injection molding process.
[0130] The breast pumping cavity 101 and the first gas passage 102 of the assembly 10 are formed in the barrel 11, the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10 is formed in the flared body 12, the assembly opening 104 of the assembly 10 is formed at a junction of the barrel 11 and the flared body 12, the expression passage 105 of the assembly 10 extends through the mounting post 13, the diaphragm slot 106 of the assembly 10 is formed in the diaphragm mounting portion 14, and the diaphragm slot 106 and the breast pumping cavity 101 are in communication via the first gas passage 102. It is worth mentioning that the breast pumping cavity 101, the first gas passage 102, the second gas passage 103, the assembly opening 104, the expression passage 105, and the diaphragm slot 106 of the assembly 10 are simultaneously formed when the barrel 11, the flared body 12, the mounting post 13, and the diaphragm mounting portion 14 of the assembly 10 are injection molded.
[0131] The periphery of the elastic diaphragm 20 is folded outwardly to form a clamping groove 202, and the edge of the diaphragm mounting portion 14 of the assembly 10 extends into the clamping groove 202 of the elastic diaphragm 20, so that the edge of the elastic diaphragm 20 is sealingly lapped against the edge of the diaphragm slot 106 of the assembly 10, thereby allowing the elastic diaphragm 20 to be assembled to the assembly 10 in a manner that the main body portion of the elastic diaphragm 20 is sunken into the diaphragm slot 106 of the assembly 10. That is, the periphery of the elastic diaphragm 20 wraps around the edge of the diaphragm slot 106 of the assembly 10.
[0132] The expression one-way valve 30 has a valve groove 31, and the mounting post 13 of the assembly 10 is inserted into the valve groove 31 of the expression one-way valve 30, and the expression one-way valve 30 is disposed in the assembly 10 based on friction generated between the expression one-way valve 30 and the mounting post 13 of the assembly 10.
[0133] Referring to FIGS. 1-6, the horn cover 40 has a front opening 401, a rear opening 402, and a lateral perforation 403, the rear of the horn cover 40 is mounted to the assembly 10 at the assembly opening 104 of the assembly 10, the cover cavity of the horn cover 40 is communicated to the milk suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 through the rear opening 402, the lateral perforation 403 of the horn cover 40 is communicated to the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10, at this time, the rear of the horn cover 40 extends to the inside of the barrel 11 of the assembly 10, and at least a part of the horn cover 40 is fitted to the horn 12.
[0134] Referring to FIG. 6, when the user wears the breast pump device 1000, the horn cover 40 covers a part of the breast, the front opening 401 of the horn cover 40 is closed by the breast to form a sealed cavity 100 between the horn cover 40 and the breast, the lateral perforation 403 of the horn cover 40 communicates the sealed cavity 100, when the gas in the sealed cavity 100 is discharged through the lateral perforation 403 of the horn cover 40 and the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10, the sealed cavity 100 forms a negative pressure environment, so that the horn cover 40 is firmly adsorbed to the breast, so that the breast pump device 1000 is prevented from sliding downward relative to the breast.
[0135] In one specific example of the breast pump of the present application, referring to FIG. 1, the main machine 2000 includes a first pump body 2001, a second pump body 2002, a solenoid valve 2003, a first gas pipe 2004, and a second gas pipe 2005, the first gas pipe 2004 is a three-way pipe, three openings of the first gas pipe 2004 are respectively communicated to the recess 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20, the first pump body 2001, and the solenoid valve 2003, the second gas pipe 2005 has two openings, which are respectively communicated to the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10 and the second pump body 2002. The first pump body 2001 and the solenoid valve 2003 cooperate to form a negative pressure environment in the milk suction cavity 101 of the assembly 10 and alternately form high and low negative pressures to perform breast pumping, the second pump body 2002 can be used to discharge the gas in the sealed cavity 100 through the lateral perforation 403 of the horn cover 40 and the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10, so that the sealed cavity 100 forms a negative pressure environment, so that the horn cover 40 is firmly adsorbed to the breast, thereby preventing the breast pump device 1000 from sliding downward relative to the breast.
[0136] It can be understood that the pressure of the negative pressure in the sealed cavity 100 is related to the amount of residual gas in the sealed cavity 100, the less the amount of residual gas in the sealed cavity 100, the greater the pressure of the negative pressure in the sealed cavity 100, and correspondingly, the more the amount of residual gas in the sealed cavity 100, the smaller the pressure of the negative pressure in the sealed cavity 100, so the pressure of the negative pressure in the sealed cavity 100 can be controlled by controlling the amount of gas discharged from the lateral perforations 403 of the horn cover 40 and the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10, so that the breast pump meets the use requirements of different users.
[0137] In addition, during the breast pumping process, due to the activities of the user and other reasons, the sealed cavity 100 may leak, which may cause the size of the negative pressure in the sealed cavity 100 to change unexpectedly. When the sealed cavity 100 leaks, the breast pumping device 1000 allows the gas in the sealed cavity 100 to be discharged again through the lateral perforations 403 of the horn cover 40 and the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10, so that the pressure in the sealed cavity 100 is maintained stable, thereby ensuring that the breast pumping device 1000 is firmly attached to the breast and improving the comfort of the user when using the breast pumping device 1000. In some examples of the breast pump of the present application, a sensor can be provided on the main machine 2000 to detect the pressure in the sealed cavity 100 to determine whether the sealed cavity 100 leaks. After determining that the sealed cavity 100 leaks, the second pump body 2002 can be used to discharge the gas in the sealed cavity 100 through the lateral perforations 403 of the horn cover 40 and the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10, thereby ensuring that the horn cover 40 is firmly attached to the breast.
[0138] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the horn cover 40 includes a main cover body 41 and a small cover ring 42, the front opening 401, the rear opening 402 and the lateral perforations 403 of the horn cover 40 are formed in the main cover body 41, and the small cover ring 42 extends inwardly and forwardly from the inner wall of the main cover body 41, so that the small cover ring 42 protrudes from the inner wall of the main cover body 41, wherein the rear part of the main cover body 41 is mounted to the assembly 10 at the assembly opening 104 of the assembly 10. Preferably, the inner wall of the barrel 11 is provided with a step 110, and the rear part of the main cover body 41 is provided with a hook ring 410, and the hook ring 410 of the main cover body 41 hooks the step 110 of the barrel 11, so that the rear part of the main cover body 41 is reliably mounted to the assembly 10.
[0139] When the user wears the breast pump device 1000, the front part of the main cover body 41 of the horn cover 40 is attached to the back of the breast, allowing the breast to close the front opening 401 of the horn cover 40, and the small cover ring 42 is attached to the back of the areola part to form the sealed cavity 100 between the main cover body 41, the small cover ring 42 and the breast. It can be understood that the space of the sealed cavity 100 formed between the main cover body 41, the small cover ring 42 and the breast is small, so the amount of gas in the sealed cavity 100 can be quickly adjusted.
[0140] Further, the horn cover 40 comprises a blocking ring 43 extending inwardly and rearwardly from the inner wall of the main cover body 41. When the user wears the breast pump device 1000, the blocking ring 43 abuts against the areola part or the back of the areola part. During the breast pumping process, when the air pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 decreases, the areola part is pulled towards the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10. Since the blocking ring 43 abuts against the areola part or the back of the areola part, the blocking ring 43 has the effect of blocking the areola part from entering the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10. At this time, the areola part is squeezed to squeeze out milk and temporarily store it in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10, which helps to improve the breast pumping efficiency of the breast pump.
[0141] Preferably, the blocking ring 43 is deformable, which makes the blocking ring 43 deformable towards the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 while providing resistance, so that the areola part is resisted while being avoided from being squeezed hard, thereby improving comfort. Preferably, the end of the blocking ring 43 extends rearwardly and curvedly, so that when the user wears the breast pump device 1000, the end surface of the blocking ring 43 can be avoided from contacting the nipple, thereby improving the comfort of the user when using the breast pump to pump milk.
[0142] More preferably, referring to Figs. 5 and 6, the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43 extend at the same position of the inner wall of the main cover body 41, and the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43 are in back-to-back state. That is, the cover ring root 421 of the small cover ring 42 for connecting the main cover body 41 and the blocking ring root 431 of the blocking ring 43 for connecting the main cover body 41 are integrated, so that the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43 can be linked to wriggle the areola part to improve the efficiency of breast pumping during breast pumping. Specifically, when the negative pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 increases, the areola part is pulled towards the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10, at this time, on the one hand, the blocking ring 43 has the effect of blocking the areola part from entering the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 and pressing the areola part, on the other hand, the blocking ring 43 expands outward and the small cover ring 42 contracts inward, so that the small cover ring 42 presses the back side of the areola part, when the negative pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 decreases, the areola part resets, the blocking ring 43 contracts inward and the small cover ring 42 expands outward, so that the small cover ring 42 releases the back side of the areola part, so that the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43 can be linked to wriggle the areola part to improve the efficiency of breast pumping during breast pumping.
[0143] In this specific example of the breast pump of the present application shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the main cover body 41, the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43 are integrated, for example, a silica gel material can be integrally formed the main cover body 41, the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43.
[0144] Further, with reference to Figs. 5 and 6, the main cover 41 comprises a rear section 411 and a front section 412, the rear section 411 is trumpet-shaped, and the front section 412 extends obliquely forward from the rear section 411, i.e. the rear section 411 and the front section 412 have different extending directions, so that the main cover 41 forms a cover groove 413 at the joint of the rear section 411 and the front section 412, and the side perforations 403 of the trumpet cover 40 are formed at the position of the cover groove 413 of the main cover 41, in this way, on the one hand, when the breast pump 1000 is worn by a user, the cover groove 413 of the main cover 41 and the joint relationship between the main cover 41 and the small cover ring 42 enable the trumpet cover 40 and the breast to form the sealed cavity 100, on the other hand, the front opening 401 of the trumpet cover 40 can have a smaller size, so that the front section 412 of the main cover 41 can provide a gripping force for gripping the rear of the breast, which is conducive to the reliable wearing of the breast pump 1000.
[0145] With reference to Figs. 5 and 6, the trumpet cover 40 further comprises an assembly column 44, the assembly column 44 extends outward from the main cover 41, and the side perforations 403 of the trumpet cover 40 pass through the assembly column 44, wherein the assembly piece 10 has an assembly hole 107, the assembly hole 107 is in communication with the second gas passage 103, and after the rear of the main cover 41 is mounted to the assembly piece 10 at the assembly opening 104 of the assembly piece 10, the assembly column 44 of the trumpet cover 40 is inserted into the assembly hole 107 of the assembly piece 10, in this way, on the one hand, the trumpet cover 40 can be reliably mounted to the assembly piece 10, on the other hand, the assembly column 44 of the trumpet cover 40 and the assembly hole 107 of the assembly piece 10 can ensure that the side perforations 403 of the trumpet cover 40 and the second gas passage 103 of the assembly piece 10 are in communication, and avoid air leakage at this connection position.
[0146] Further, with reference to Figs. 1 to 6, the breast pump further comprises a housing 50, the housing 50 is mounted to the assembly piece 10, and the periphery of the elastic diaphragm 20 is clamped between the assembly piece 10 and the housing 50, in this way, the elastic diaphragm 20 can be reliably arranged on the assembly piece 10, and the edge of the elastic diaphragm 20 is ensured to be sealingly abutted on the edge of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly piece 10.
[0147] Preferably, the edges of the housing 50 and the edges of the horn body 12 of the assembly 10 are sealingly installed, the breast pump forms a milk storage cavity 60 between the housing 50 and the assembly 10, and the milk discharge one-way valve 30 is located in the milk storage cavity 60, so that when the milk discharge one-way valve 30 opens the milk discharge passage 105 of the assembly 10, the milk temporarily stored in the milk storage cavity 101 of the assembly 10 is discharged to the milk storage cavity 60 through the milk discharge passage 105.
[0148] In addition, with reference to FIGS. 3, 5 and 6, the housing 50 further has a first air hole 51 and a second air hole 52, wherein the first air hole 51 of the housing 50 is communicated with the concave cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20, one end of the first air pipe 2004 is communicated with the first air hole 51 of the housing 50, and through the first air hole 51 of the housing 50, the first pump body 2001 and the electromagnetic valve 2003 can cooperate to make the gas in the concave cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20 be extracted to deform the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20 away from the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, and correspondingly, through the first air hole 51 of the housing 50, the first pump body 2001 and the electromagnetic valve 2003 can cooperate to make the gas in the external environment enter the concave cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20 to deform the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20 to be close to the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106 of the assembly 10, so that the milk storage cavity 101 of the assembly 10 alternately generates high and low negative pressure to achieve milk suction, wherein the second air hole 52 of the housing 50 is communicated with the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10, one end of the second air pipe 2005 is communicated with the second air hole 52 of the housing 50, so that the second pump body 2002 can discharge the gas in the sealed cavity 100 through the side perforation 403 of the horn cover 40, the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10 and the second air hole 52 of the housing 50 to make the sealed cavity 100 form a negative pressure environment.
[0149] It is worth mentioning that the specific way of communication between the end of the first air tube 2004 and the first air hole 51 of the housing 50 and the specific way of communication between the end of the second air tube 2005 and the second air hole 52 of the housing 50 are not limited in the breast pump of the present application, for example, the end of the first air tube 2004 can be inserted into the first air hole 51 of the housing 50 to install the end of the first air tube 2004 to the housing 50 and make the end of the first air tube 2004 and the first air hole 51 of the housing 50 communicate, the end of the second air tube 2005 can be inserted into the second air hole 52 of the housing 50 to install the end of the second air tube 2005 to the housing 50 and make the end of the second air tube 2005 and the second air hole 52 of the housing 50 communicate.
[0150] Preferably, referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the elastic diaphragm 20 has a diaphragm hole 21, the first cylinder 120 of the assembly 10 for forming the second gas passage 103 and the second cylinder 53 of the housing 50 for forming the second air hole 52 are respectively inserted into the diaphragm hole 21 of the elastic diaphragm 20 in such a way that, on the one hand, the elastic diaphragm 20 can be reliably arranged between the assembly 10 and the housing 50, on the other hand, the diaphragm hole 21 of the elastic diaphragm 20 can communicate the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10 and the second air hole 52 of the housing 50 and avoid air leakage.
[0151] The process of using the breast pumping device 1000 can be: firstly, turning the front section 412 of the main cover 41 backward; secondly, after the small cover ring 42 is attached to the front of the breast in a way of covering the areola position, restoring the front section 412 of the main cover 41, at this time the breast seals the front opening 401 of the horn cover 40, so as to form the sealed cavity 100 between the rear section 411, the front section 412, the small cover ring 42 and the breast, at this time the sealed cavity 100 is a negative pressure environment; thirdly, discharging the gas in the sealed cavity 100 through the side perforations 403 of the horn cover 40, the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10 and the second gas hole 52 of the shell 50 by the second pump body 2002, so as to further increase the pressure in the sealed cavity 100, so that the breast pumping device 1000 can be firmly adsorbed to the breast, in the process of breast pumping, when the sealed cavity 100 leaks, the second pump body 2002 discharges the gas in the sealed cavity 100 through the side perforations 403 of the horn cover 40, the second gas passage 103 of the assembly 10 and the second gas hole 52 of the shell 50, so as to ensure that the breast pumping device 1000 is firmly adsorbed to the breast; then, the first pump body 2001 and the electromagnetic valve 2003 cooperate with each other to alternately generate a larger negative pressure and a smaller negative pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10, so as to realize breast pumping.
[0152] It can be understood that when the first pump body 2001 and the electromagnetic valve 2003 cooperate to generate a large negative pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10, on the one hand, the breast milk is temporarily stored in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 when the breast milk unidirectional valve 30 closes the breast milk passage 105 of the assembly 10, on the other hand, the areola is pulled towards the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10, the blocking ring 43 has the effect of blocking the areola from entering the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 and squeezing the areola, at the same time, the blocking ring 43 expands outward and the small cover ring 42 contracts inward, so that the small cover ring 42 squeezes the back side of the areola. When the first pump body 2001 and the electromagnetic valve 2003 cooperate to generate a reduced negative pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10, on the one hand, the breast milk temporarily stored in the breast pumping cavity 101 of the assembly 10 is discharged through the breast milk passage 105 when the breast milk unidirectional valve 30 opens the breast milk passage 105 of the assembly 10, on the other hand, the areola returns to its original position, the blocking ring 43 contracts inward and the small cover ring 42 expands outward, so that the small cover ring 42 releases the back side of the areola. In this way, the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43 can be linked together, so that the small cover ring 42 and the blocking ring 43 can peristaltically squeeze the areola during the breast pumping process, thereby improving the efficiency of breast pumping.
[0153] Figure 7 shows a variant of the breast pumping device 1000 according to the above preferred embodiment of the present application, which is different from the breast pumping device 1000 shown in Figures 1 to 6 in that, in this specific example of the breast pumping device 1000 shown in Figure 7, the side perforations 403 of the horn cover 40 are formed on the rear segment 411 of the main cover body 41. Second, the breast pump comprises a small cover 70, which has an inner clamping ring 71, an outer clamping ring 72, a clamping cavity 73 formed between the inner clamping ring 71 and the outer clamping ring 72, and a small cover hole 74. The periphery of the elastic diaphragm 20 is inserted into the clamping cavity 73 of the small cover 70, so that the inner clamping ring 71 and the outer clamping ring 72 clamp the periphery of the elastic diaphragm 20 on the inner and outer sides of the elastic diaphragm 20, thereby reliably installing the elastic diaphragm 20 on the assembly 10, wherein the small cover hole 74 of the small cover 70 is communicated with the recessed cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20, and the gas in the recessed cavity 201 of the elastic diaphragm 20 can be extracted through the small cover hole 74 of the small cover 70.
[0154] Figure 8 shows a variant of the breast pumping device 1000 according to the above preferred embodiment of the present application, which is different from the breast pumping device 1000 shown in Figure 7 in that the horn cover 40 in this specific example of the breast pumping device 1000 shown in Figure 8 is not provided with the main cover body 41 and the lateral perforations 403.

[0184] With reference to the drawings of the present application, a breast pump according to a preferred embodiment of the present application will be disclosed and described in the following description, wherein the breast pump comprises at least one breast pump device 1000A and a main machine 2000A, and the breast pump device 1000A is connected to the main machine 2000A.
[0185] Specifically, the breast pump device 1000A comprises an assembly 10A, an elastic diaphragm 20A, a milk discharge one-way valve 30A, and a horn 40A.
[0186] More specifically, with reference to FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, the assembly 10A has a milk suction cavity 101A, a first gas passage 102A, a second gas passage 103A, an assembly opening 104A, and a milk discharge passage 105A, and the first gas passage 102A, the second gas passage 103A, the assembly opening 104A, and the milk discharge passage 105A are respectively communicated with the milk suction cavity 101A. In this specific example of the breast pump of the present application shown in FIG. 24 to FIG. 29, the assembly 10A can be an injection molded part, and a plastic material can be used to form the assembly 10A in one piece by means of an injection molding process.
[0187] The elastic diaphragm 20A is arranged on the assembly 10A to drive the gas in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A to be discharged through the first gas passage 102A, so as to alternately generate a high and low negative pressure in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A.
[0188] Specifically, the elastic diaphragm 20A is deformable, and when the elastic diaphragm 20A is deformed, the elastic diaphragm 20A drives the gas in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A to be discharged through the first gas passage 102A, so that the air pressure in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A can be reduced, so that the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A alternately generates a high and low negative pressure. In this specific example of the breast pump of the present application shown in FIG. 24 to FIG. 29, the elastic diaphragm 20A can be made of silica gel material, so that the elastic diaphragm 20A is deformable.
[0189] The specific way of arranging the elastic diaphragm 20A in the assembly 10A having a diaphragm groove 106A, which is in communication with the first gas passage 102A, and the elastic diaphragm 20A being in the shape of a bowl such that the elastic diaphragm 20A has a concave cavity 21A, so that when the edge of the elastic diaphragm 20A is sealingly lapped on the edge of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, the elastic diaphragm 20A is entirely sunken into the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, which is advantageous for reducing the overall volume of the breast pump. That is, the elastic diaphragm 20A closes the opening of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A.
[0190] Preferably, the shape of the elastic diaphragm 20A and the shape and size of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A are matched, so that the outer wall of the elastic diaphragm 20A and the inner wall of the assembly 10A for defining the diaphragm groove 106A can be fitted. When the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20A is deformed towards the direction away from the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, the gas in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A can be driven to be discharged to the diaphragm groove 106A through the first gas passage 102A, so as to reduce the air pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A, so that the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A has a higher negative pressure. When the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20A is deformed towards the direction close to the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, the gas in the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A can be driven to enter the breast pumping cavity 101A through the first gas passage 102A, so as to increase the air pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A, so that the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A has a lower negative pressure, so that the elastic diaphragm 20A alternately generates high and low negative pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A, so as to realize breast pumping.
[0191] The way to drive the elastic diaphragm 20A to deform can be to change the pressure of the negative pressure of the concave cavity 21A of the elastic diaphragm 20A, when the pressure of the negative pressure of the concave cavity 21A of the elastic diaphragm 20A becomes larger, the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20A deforms towards the direction away from the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, at this time, the gas in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A can be driven to be discharged to the diaphragm groove 106A through the first gas passage 102A, so as to reduce the air pressure in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A and make the milk suction cavity 101A have a higher negative pressure pressure, when the pressure of the negative pressure of the concave cavity 21A of the elastic diaphragm 20A becomes smaller, the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20A deforms towards the direction close to the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, at this time, the gas in the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A can be driven to enter the milk suction cavity 101A through the first gas passage 102A, so as to increase the air pressure in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A and make the milk suction cavity 101A have a lower negative pressure pressure. Subsequently, how to change the pressure of the negative pressure of the concave cavity 21A of the elastic diaphragm 20A will be described.
[0192] The milk discharge one-way valve 30A is arranged in the assembly 10A, and the milk discharge one-way valve 30A is used to selectively open and close the milk discharge passage 105A of the assembly 10A, when the milk discharge one-way valve 30A closes the milk discharge passage 105A of the assembly 10A, the milk sucked is temporarily stored in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A, when the milk discharge one-way valve 30A opens the milk discharge passage 105A of the assembly 10A, the milk temporarily stored in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A is discharged through the milk discharge passage 105A.
[0193] In order to arrange the milk discharge one-way valve 30A in the assembly 10A, referring to Figures 25 and 28, the assembly 10A has a mounting column 11A, the milk discharge passage 105A penetrates through the mounting column 11A, the milk discharge one-way valve 30A has a valve groove 31A, the mounting column 11A of the assembly 10A is inserted into the valve groove 31A of the milk discharge one-way valve 30A, based on the friction force generated between the milk discharge one-way valve 30A and the mounting column 11A of the assembly 10A, the milk discharge one-way valve 30A is arranged in the assembly 10A.
[0194] Referring to Figs. 26-29, the horn cover 40A comprises a main cover body 41A and a deformable small cover ring 42A, the main cover body 41A has a cover cavity 411A and a front opening 412A, a rear opening 413A and an air passage 414A respectively communicated with the cover cavity 411A, and the small cover ring 42A is arranged on the main cover body 41A and located in the cover cavity 411A of the main cover body 41A. The tail of the main cover body 41A is mounted on the assembly 10A through the assembly opening 104A of the assembly 10A, the cover cavity 411A of the main cover body 41A is communicated with the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly 10A through the rear opening 413A, and the air passage 414A of the horn cover 40A is communicated with the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A.
[0195] Preferably, the assembly 10A has a hook groove 110A, and the tail of the main cover body 41A has a hook table 4101A, after the tail of the main cover body 41A is mounted on the assembly 10A through the assembly opening 104A of the assembly 10A, the hook table 4101A of the main cover body 41A hooks into the hook groove 110A of the assembly 10A, so as to reliably mount the main cover body 41A on the assembly 10A.
[0196] In this specific example of the breast pump of the present application shown in Figs. 24-29, the main cover body 41A of the horn cover 40A is deformable, so that the horn cover 40A can be self-attached to the breast. Preferably, the main cover body 41A and the small cover ring 42A of the horn cover 40A are integrally formed, for example, a silicone material can be integrally formed into the horn cover 40A by means of injection molding process. Alternatively, in other examples of the breast pump of the present application, the main cover body 41A and the small cover ring 42A of the horn cover 40A are respectively manufactured, and the small cover ring 42A is detachably mounted on the main cover body 41A, in this way, not only the cleaning of the breast pump 1000A is facilitated, but also the user can replace the small cover ring 42A with appropriate size as needed.
[0197] Referring to FIG. 29, when the user uses the breast pump 1000A, the main cover body 41 A of the horn cover 40A covers a part of the breast, the front opening 412A of the main cover body 41 A is closed by the breast, the small cover ring 42A abuts against the rear part of the areola, a massage cavity 100A is formed between the main cover body 41 A, the small cover ring 42A and the breast, and the air passage 414A of the main cover body 41 A communicates with the massage cavity 100A. After the gas in the massage cavity 100A is discharged through the air passage 414A of the main cover body 41 A, the air pressure in the massage cavity 100A can be reduced, for example, a negative pressure environment can be formed in the massage cavity 100A, so that the horn cover 40A is self-adsorbed on the breast, thereby avoiding the situation that the breast pump 1000A slides downward relative to the breast.
[0198] In the case that the user wears the breast pump 1000A on the breast by means of the underwear, after the gas in the massage cavity 100A is discharged through the air passage 414A of the main cover body 41 A, the air pressure in the massage cavity 100A can be reduced to form a negative pressure environment, and after the gas in the external environment is blown into the massage cavity 100A through the air passage 414A of the main cover body 41 A, the air pressure in the massage cavity 100A can be increased to form a positive pressure environment, so that the massage cavity 100A can alternately generate high and low pressures to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and be massaged by the small cover ring 42A on the rear part of the areola, thereby stimulating lactation and increasing milk yield. It can be understood that in the case that the user wears the breast pump 1000A on the breast by means of the underwear, the massage cavity 100A can also alternately generate high and low negative pressures to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and be massaged by the small cover ring 42A on the rear part of the areola, thereby stimulating lactation and increasing milk yield.
[0199] That is, the breast pump of the present application provides a naked suction mode and a massage mode. In the case that the user selects the naked suction mode, the massage cavity 100A needs to continuously form a negative pressure environment to ensure that the horn cover 40A is firmly adsorbed on the breast. In the case that the user selects the massage mode, the massage cavity 100A can alternately generate high and low negative pressures, or alternately generate positive and negative pressures, to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and be massaged by the small cover ring 42A on the rear part of the areola, thereby stimulating lactation and increasing milk yield.
[0200] It can be understood that the pressure of the negative pressure in the massage cavity 100A is related to the amount of residual air in the massage cavity 100A. In the case that the massage cavity 100A is a negative pressure environment, the less the amount of residual air in the massage cavity 100A, the greater the pressure of the negative pressure in the massage cavity 100A, the more the amount of residual air in the massage cavity 100A, the smaller the pressure of the negative pressure in the massage cavity 100A. In the case that the massage cavity 100A is a positive pressure environment, the less the amount of residual air in the massage cavity 100A, the smaller the pressure of the positive pressure in the massage cavity 100A, the more the amount of residual air in the massage cavity 100A, the greater the pressure of the positive pressure in the massage cavity 100A. Therefore, the pressure in the massage cavity 100A can be controlled by the amount of air discharged and blown in through the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A, so that the breast pump 1000A meets the use requirements of different users.
[0201] When the user uses the breast pump, the breast pump 1000A can be self-sucked to the breast in the case that the massage cavity 100A is always a negative pressure environment. During the breast pumping process, the size of the negative pressure in the massage cavity 100A can be undesirably changed due to the leakage of the massage cavity 100A caused by the user's activities or the like. When the massage cavity 100A leaks, the breast pump allows the air in the massage cavity 100A to be discharged again through the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A, so that the pressure of the massage cavity 100A is maintained stable, thereby improving the comfort of the user using the breast pump. In some examples of the present application, a sensor can be provided on the host 2000A to detect the pressure in the massage cavity 100A.
[0202] With continued reference to FIGS. 28 and 29, the horn cover 40A further includes a blocking ring 43A extending rearwardly from the small cover ring 42A so that the blocking ring 43A protrudes from the inner wall of the main cover body 41A.
[0203] When the user uses the breast pump device 1000A, the small cover ring 42A and the blocking ring 43A are both against the rear of the areola, and the small cover ring 42A extends from the rear of the areola to the direction of the milk root, and the blocking ring 43A extends from the rear of the areola to the direction of the nipple. During the breast pumping process, when the air pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A decreases, the areola part is pulled to the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A. Since the blocking ring 43A is against the rear of the areola, the blocking ring 43A has the effect of blocking the areola from entering the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A. At this time, the areola part is squeezed to squeeze out milk and temporarily store it in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the breast pumping efficiency of the breast pump.
[0204] Preferably, the blocking ring 43A is deformable, which makes the blocking ring 43A deformable in the direction of the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A while providing resistance, so that the areola part is resisted while being prevented from being hard squeezed, thereby improving comfort. Preferably, the end of the blocking ring 43A extends backwardly and curvedly, so that when the user wears the breast pump device 1000A, the end surface of the blocking ring 43A can be prevented from contacting the nipple, thereby improving the comfort of the user when using the breast pump to pump milk.
[0205] In this specific example of the breast pump of the present application shown in FIGS. 24-29, the main cover body 41A, the small cover ring 42A, and the blocking ring 43A of the horn cover 40A are integrated.
[0206] Further, with continued reference to FIGS. 28 and 29, the main cover body 41A includes a rear section 415A and a front section 416A, the front section 416A extends obliquely forward from the rear section 415A, that is, the rear section 415A and the front section 416A have different extension directions, the main cover body 41A forms a cover groove 417A at the connection between the rear section 415A and the front section 416A, and the air passage 414A of the main cover body 41A is formed at the position of the cover groove 417A of the main cover body 41A. In this way, on the one hand, when the user wears the breast pump device 1000A, the cover groove 417A of the main cover body 41A and the connection relationship between the main cover body 41A and the small cover ring 42A enable the main cover body 41A, the small cover ring 42A, and the breast to form the massage cavity 100A, and on the other hand, the front opening 412A of the main cover body 41A can have a smaller size, so that the front section 416A of the main cover body 41A can provide a gripping force for gripping the rear of the breast, which is beneficial to reliably wear the breast pump device 1000A.
[0207] With reference to FIGS. 24-29, the outer wall of the main cover 41 A has an assembly column 418A, and the air passage 414A of the main cover 41 A penetrates through the assembly column 418A, wherein the assembly piece 10A has an assembly hole 107A, which is in communication with the second gas passage 103A, and the assembly column 418A of the main cover 41 A is inserted into the assembly hole 107A of the assembly piece 10A, by which the horn cover 40A can be reliably installed on the assembly piece 10A, the assembly column 418A of the main cover 41 A and the assembly hole 107A of the assembly piece 10A can ensure the communication between the main cover 41 A and the second gas passage 103A of the assembly piece 10A, and avoid air leakage at the connection position, and the assembly column 418A of the main cover 41 A and the assembly hole 107A of the assembly piece 10A can cooperate with each other to position the installation direction of the horn cover 40A.
[0208] Further, with reference to FIGS. 24-29, the breast pump further comprises a housing 50A, which is installed on the assembly piece 10A, and the elastic diaphragm 20A is clamped between the assembly piece 10A and the housing 50A, so that the elastic diaphragm 20A can be reliably arranged on the assembly piece 10A.
[0209] Preferably, the breast pump forms a milk storage cavity 60A between the housing 50A and the assembly piece 10A, and the milk discharge one-way valve 30A is located in the milk storage cavity 60A, and when the milk discharge one-way valve 30A opens the milk discharge passage 105A of the assembly piece 10A, the milk temporarily stored in the milk suction cavity 101A of the assembly piece 10A is discharged to the milk storage cavity 60A through the milk discharge passage 105A.
[0210] In addition, the shell 50A further has a first air hole 51A and a second air hole 52A, wherein the first air hole 51A is communicated with the concave cavity 21A of the elastic diaphragm 20A, the second air hole 52A is communicated with the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A, the main machine 2000A has a first pump body 2001A, a second pump body 2002A and a solenoid valve 2003A, three ends of a three-way pipe 3000A are respectively communicated with the first air hole 51A of the shell 50A, the solenoid valve 2003A and an opening of the first pump body 2001A, two ends of a gas pipe 4000A are respectively communicated with the second air hole 52A of the shell 50A and an opening of the second pump body 2002A. During breast pumping, the first pump body 2001A continuously works, when the solenoid valve 2003A is closed, the pressure of the negative pressure in the concave cavity 21A of the elastic diaphragm 20A becomes larger, the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20A deforms towards the direction away from the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, at this time, the gas in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A can be driven to be discharged to the diaphragm groove 106A through the first gas passage 102A, so as to reduce the air pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A, when the solenoid valve 2003A is opened, the pressure of the negative pressure in the concave cavity 21A of the elastic diaphragm 20A becomes smaller, the bottom of the elastic diaphragm 20A deforms towards the direction close to the bottom of the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A, at this time, the gas in the diaphragm groove 106A of the assembly 10A can be driven to enter the breast pumping cavity 101A through the first gas passage 102A, so as to increase the air pressure in the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A, thus the breast pumping cavity 101A of the assembly 10A alternately generates high and low negative pressure, so as to perform breast pumping; when the massage cavity 100A leaks air, the second pump body 2002A works, so as to draw the gas in the massage cavity 100A out through the air channel 414A of the main cover body 41A, the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A and the second air hole 52A of the shell 50A, thereby reducing the air pressure in the massage cavity 100A, so as to ensure that the breast pumping device 1000A can be reliably self-adsorbed to the breast.
[0211] Preferably, the elastic diaphragm 20A has a diaphragm hole 22A, and the column of the assembly 10A for defining the second gas passage 103A and the column of the shell 50A for defining the second gas hole 52A are respectively inserted into the diaphragm hole 22A of the elastic diaphragm 20A, so that on the one hand, the elastic diaphragm 20A can be reliably arranged between the assembly 10A and the shell 50A, and on the other hand, the diaphragm hole 22A of the elastic diaphragm 20A can communicate the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A and the second gas hole 52A of the shell 50A.
[0212] Fig. 30 shows a variant of the breast pump device 1000A of the above-mentioned preferred embodiment of the present application. Different from the breast pump device 1000A shown in Figs. 24 to 29, in the specific example of the breast pump device 1000A shown in Fig. 30, the air passage 414A of the main cover 41A is formed in the rear section 415A of the main cover 41A. That is, the inner side opening of the air passage 414A of the main cover 41A is directly opposite to the outer wall of the small cover ring 42A. When the user wears the breast pump device 1000A, the massage cavity 100A is formed between the main cover 41A, the small cover ring 42A and the breast, and the first pump body 2001A and the electromagnetic valve 2003A can cooperate with each other to alternately generate high and low negative pressure in the breast pump cavity 101A of the assembly 10A to suck out milk, and the second pump body 2002A can alternately generate high and low pressure in the massage cavity 100A to deform the small cover ring 42A to massage the rear part of the areola by the small cover ring 42A, so as to stimulate lactation and increase milk yield.
[0213] When the user selects the naked suction mode, the horn cover 40A is self-sucked to the breast, and the second pump body 2002A sucks out the gas in the massage cavity 100A through the air passage 414A of the main cover 41A to form a negative pressure environment in the massage cavity 100A, so that the horn cover 40A can be firmly sucked to the breast. Preferably, the breast pump can detect the pressure of the massage cavity 100A in real time through the sensor arranged in the main machine 2000A, and adjust the minimum negative pressure value of the massage cavity 100A according to the pressure state of the massage cavity 100A, so that the breast pump device 1000A can be firmly sucked to the breast.
[0214] In the case that the user selects the massage mode, the user can wear the breast pump 1000A on the breast by means of the underwear. The second pump body 2002A and the other electromagnetic valve 2003A cooperate with each other to make the massage cavity 100A alternately generate high and low negative pressure, so as to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and massage the back of the areola by the small cover ring 42A. Thus, it is beneficial to stimulate lactation and increase milk yield. That is, the massage cavity 100A is always in a negative pressure environment. Alternatively, the second pump body 2002A can extract the gas in the massage cavity 100A through the gas passage 414A of the main cover body 41A, the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A and the second gas hole 52A of the shell 50A, so as to form a negative pressure environment in the massage cavity 100A. The second pump body 2002A can also blow gas into the massage cavity 100A through the second gas hole 52A of the shell 50A, the second gas passage 103A of the assembly 10A and the gas passage 414A of the main cover body 41A, so as to form a positive pressure environment in the massage cavity 100A. Thus, the massage cavity 100A alternately generates positive pressure and negative pressure, so as to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and massage the back of the areola by the small cover ring 42A. Thus, it is beneficial to stimulate lactation and increase milk yield.
[0215] According to another aspect of the present application, the present application further provides a control method of the breast pump 1000A. The control method comprises the following steps: (a) when the user wears the breast pump 1000A, forming the massage cavity 100A between the main cover body 41A of the horn cover 40A of the breast pump 1000A, the small cover ring 42A installed on the main cover body 41A and the breast; (b) making the breast pump cavity 101A of the breast pump 1000A alternately generate high and low negative pressure to suck out milk; and (c) making the massage cavity 100A alternately generate high and low pressure to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and massage the back of the areola by the small cover ring 42A. In this way, during the breast pumping process, the breast pump 1000A can stimulate lactation and increase milk yield.
[0216] In one specific example of the control method of the present application, in the step (c), the massage cavity 100A alternately generates high and low negative pressure to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and massage the back of the areola by the small cover ring 42A, so as to stimulate lactation and increase milk yield.
[0217] In another specific example of the control method of the present application, in the step (c), the massage cavity 100A alternately generates positive pressure and negative pressure to drive the small cover ring 42A to deform and massage the back of the areola by the small cover ring 42A, so as to stimulate lactation and increase milk yield.
