[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1-9, the embodiment of the present application provides a breast pump driven by magnetic force to generate negative pressure, comprising a horn cover 11, the horn cover 11 forms a containing cavity 111, the containing cavity 111 can be closely attached to and at least partially contain the breast, forming a sealed cavity;

[0032] A flexible member 4 is provided with a first magnetic member 41, the flexible member 4 is at least partially communicated with the sealed cavity and forms part of the cavity wall of the sealed cavity;

[0033] A second magnetic member 5 is provided opposite to the first magnetic member 41, the second magnetic member 5 drives the first magnetic member 41 to move by magnetic force and drives the flexible member 4 to deform, so that the sealed cavity generates negative pressure.

[0034] In the embodiment, the inner wall of the horn cover 11 can be attached to the breast of the user, and when the breast of the user is attached to the inner wall of the horn cover 11, the sealed cavity formed by the horn cover 11 and the flexible member 4 is in a sealed state;

[0035] The first magnetic member 41 is provided opposite to the second magnetic member 5, and the positions of the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 can be exchanged, it should be noted that the magnetic member here not only refers to the component with magnetic force, but also the material that can be guided to move by magnetic force;

[0036] In other embodiments, the first magnetic member 41 includes but is not limited to a permanent magnet, the shape of the first magnetic member 41 can be ring-shaped or block-shaped or strip-shaped, the second magnetic member 5 is an electromagnetic coil, and the shape of the second magnetic member 5 is ring-shaped or block-shaped or strip-shaped;

[0037] In operation, first, the inner wall of the horn cover 11 is attached to the breast of the user, and then the second magnetic member 5 is started to generate magnetic force to drive the first magnetic member 41 to move, that is, when the magnetic poles of the second magnetic member 5 and the first magnetic member 41 are different, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 generate magnetic attraction force, which drives the flexible member 4 to deform under the action of the magnetic attraction force, at this time, negative pressure is generated inside the sealed cavity, and at this time, the horn cover 11 is matched to generate pressure on the breast of the user to express the breast milk; when the magnetic poles of the second magnetic member 5 and the first magnetic member 41 are the same, the first magnetic member 41 and the second magnetic member 5 generate repulsion force, which drives the flexible member 4 to reset at this time, and the negative pressure inside the sealed cavity disappears at this time;

[0038] The present application changes the traditional vacuum pump and electromagnetic valve breast pumping form to electromagnetic breast pumping form, which not only greatly reduces the weight of the breast pump and is easy to carry, but also eliminates the noise source by canceling the vacuum pump and electromagnetic valve, greatly reduces the noise to even "zero" noise, eliminates the influence on the mood of the mother, and improves the comfort;

[0039] In addition, the application cancels the use of magnetic attraction of components such as vacuum pumps and electromagnetic valves, reduces the assembly components (vacuum pumps, electromagnetic valves, sealing rings and other parts), and effectively reduces the cost.

[0040] In one embodiment, the flexible member 4 further comprises at least one third magnetic member 45, and the third magnetic member 45 surrounds the periphery of the first magnetic member 41.

[0041] In this embodiment, by adding a pre-buried third magnetic member 45 inside the flexible member 4, the magnetic property can be further improved, thereby achieving the effects of improving efficiency and reducing energy loss, wherein the third magnetic member 45 is a neodymium magnet.

[0042] The third magnetic member 45 is arranged in a ring shape, and when the number of third magnetic members 45 is two or more, the diameters of the third magnetic members 45 increase from inside to outside along the radial direction of the flexible member 4.

[0043] In one embodiment, the closed cavity is connected to a milk collection component, which is used to collect and store breast milk.

[0044] In this embodiment, any container that can collect and store breast milk can be considered as a milk collection component, such as a feeding bottle or a bowl-shaped container.

[0045] In one embodiment, the milk collection component comprises a milk collection cover 12, and the milk collection cover 12 and the horn cover 11 form a first shell 1, and the first shell 1 has a milk collection cavity 112 inside, and the closed end of the horn cover 11 extends into the milk collection cavity 112.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connection between the horn cover 11 and the milk collection cover 12 is a sealed connection, the milk collection cover 12 is semi-spherical, and the opening edge of the milk collection cover 12 is provided with a liquid outlet 127, which is used to pour out the breast milk after the milk suction is completed.

[0047] In one embodiment, a second shell 2 is further included, and the second magnetic member 5 is fixed to the second shell 2, and the second magnetic member 5 can be alternately switched between S and N poles.

[0048] In this embodiment, by allowing the second magnetic member 5 to be alternately switched between S and N poles, the flexible member 4 can be driven to realize reciprocating motion of deformation and resetting, effectively forming stable "suction" and "release" functions, so that the breast pump can realize a continuous and stable milk suction process.

[0049] Specifically, taking the first magnetic force piece 41 as an S pole as an example, when the magnetic pole of the second magnetic force piece 5 is an N pole, the first magnetic force piece 41 and the second magnetic force piece 5 generate magnetic attraction force, so that the flexible piece 4 is deformed, and negative pressure is generated inside the sealing cavity, realizing the milking operation; when the magnetic pole of the second magnetic force piece 5 is an S pole, the first magnetic force piece 41 and the second magnetic force piece 5 generate repulsion force, which pushes the flexible piece 4 to reset, and the negative pressure inside the cavity disappears.

[0050] The vacuum pump has a delay in generating negative pressure conduction, and the efficiency can only be improved by the original material resilience. The air at the flexible piece 4 needs to be pumped out to correspondingly generate negative pressure on the human body. The magnetic attraction method can instantaneously change the direction and strength of the magnetic field, and the repulsion force can drive the flexible piece 4 to quickly reset, thereby reducing the delay and greatly improving the milking efficiency.

[0051] In one embodiment, the connecting piece 3 is further provided, the horn cover 11 and the flexible piece 4 form a sealed cavity through the connecting piece 3, the connecting piece 3 is a hollow structure, one end of the connecting piece 3 is provided with an opening, and the closed end of the horn cover 11 is connected with the opening end of the connecting piece 3.

[0052] In the embodiment, the connecting piece 3 includes but is not limited to a three-way valve, the connection positions of the horn cover 11 and the flexible piece 4 with the connecting piece 3 are detachable connection, and the connection positions are sealed connection.

[0053] In one embodiment, the connecting piece 3 is further communicated with the milk collecting part, and a one-way valve 8 is arranged between the connecting piece 3 and the milk collecting part.

[0054] In the embodiment, the one-way valve 8 is arranged, so that when negative pressure is generated in the sealed cavity, the backflow of the breast milk in the milk collecting part to the sealed cavity is prevented. The one-way valve 8 is a duckbill valve. Specifically, when negative pressure is generated in the sealed cavity, the internal pressure of the sealed cavity is less than the external pressure, so that the one-way valve 8 is deformed, and the one-way valve 8 is closed. After the one-way valve 8 is closed, the gas leakage is also prevented, the air tightness is increased, and the milking effect is improved. When the negative pressure disappears, the one-way valve 8 is restored to be opened, and the expressed breast milk flows into the milk collecting cover 12 from the one-way valve 8.

[0055] In one embodiment, the connecting piece 3 is provided with a flexible piece mounting structure 34, the flexible piece mounting structure 34 is communicated with the connecting piece 3, and the flexible piece 4 is arranged in the flexible piece mounting structure 34.

[0056] In the embodiment, the flexible member mounting structure 34 is a suction bowl, and the flexible member mounting structure 34 includes structures of different shapes, such as a circular shape, a square shape, or a planar structure, as long as the flexible member 4 can be fixed, and the flexible member mounting structure 34 is within the scope of the flexible member mounting structure 34. The edge of the flexible member 4 is connected to the edge of the flexible member mounting structure 34 in a sealed or interference manner, so that the inside of the flexible member mounting structure 34 is in a relatively sealed state. Optionally, the shape of the flexible member 4 matches the flexible member mounting structure 34.

[0058] In one embodiment, the flexible member mounting structure 34 and the flexible member 4 are mutually attached.

[0059] In the embodiment, the flexible member mounting structure 34 and the flexible member 4 are mutually attached, so that there is no gap between the flexible member mounting structure 34 and the flexible member 4. When performing the breast pumping operation, if the breast milk is accidentally sucked into the flexible member mounting structure 34, the breast milk sucked into the flexible member mounting structure 34 will be discharged in time when the flexible member 4 rebounds, so that the breast milk will not be left in the flexible member mounting structure 34.

[0060] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the breast collecting cover 12 is provided with a convex ring 122, and the breast collecting cover 12 is connected to the flexible member mounting structure 34 through the convex ring 122.

[0061] In the embodiment, the shape of the convex ring 122 is consistent with the bowl opening shape of the flexible member mounting structure 34, and one side of the convex ring 122 forms an assembly groove 123 with the inner wall of the breast collecting cover 12. When the flexible member 4 is installed in the flexible member mounting structure 34, the flexible member mounting structure 34 with the installed flexible member 4 is inserted into the assembly groove 123. At this time, the convex ring 122 is inserted into the flexible member mounting structure 34, and the assembly is completed. The convex ring 122 also has a positioning function at this time.

[0062] In addition, when the distance between the outer side wall of the convex ring 122 and the inner wall of the flexible piece mounting structure 34 is greater than the thickness of the flexible piece 4, if the flexible piece 4 deforms, the convex ring 122 can improve the connection strength of the connection between the flexible piece 4 and the flexible piece mounting structure 34, preventing the connection from being weakened due to the deformation of the flexible piece 4. When the distance between the outer side wall of the convex ring 122 and the inner wall of the flexible piece mounting structure 34 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the flexible piece 4, in addition to being able to increase the connection strength of the connection between the flexible piece 4 and the flexible piece mounting structure 34, the convex ring 122 and the flexible piece mounting structure 34 can clamp the flexible piece 4, forming an interference fit, so that the flexible piece 4 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the flexible piece mounting structure 34, and the sealing effect can be further improved.

[0063] In an embodiment, the milk collection cover 12 is provided with a mounting portion 121, which is provided as a clamping groove or a magnetic attraction structure. The milk collection cover 12 is detachably connected to the second shell 2 through the mounting portion 121.

[0066] In an embodiment, a gas groove 125 is formed on the surface of the milk collection cover 12, which communicates with the through hole 124.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the through hole 124 is arranged on the mounting portion 121, the interior of the milk collection cover 12 can still communicate with the outside through the gas groove 125, so that the air pressure in the cavity formed by the milk collection cover 12 and the flexible piece 4 is consistent with the atmospheric pressure and is not affected by the second shell 2.

[0068] In an embodiment, the second magnetic force piece 5 is controlled by a control mechanism arranged in the second shell 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, the control mechanism can control the magnetic poles of the second magnetic force piece 5, so as to realize the effect of continuously changing between the S pole and the N pole of the second magnetic force piece 5.

[0072] Specifically, when the second magnetic force piece 5 is powered, the current can make the second magnetic force piece 5 generate a magnetic field, thereby generating a magnetic pole, and the direction and size of the current can be controlled through the control panel 6, thereby controlling the magnetic pole conversion of the second magnetic force piece 5 and the strength of the magnetic field;

The film body is installed on the flexible member mounting structure 34 through the groove structure, so that the flexible film and the suction bowl can be quickly buckled, and the assembly is convenient. The groove structure is located on the outer side of the deformation part 4b, and the opening of the groove is downward.

[0094] The second hook edge 42 is arranged on the inner wall of the opening of the ring-shaped groove 43 and protrudes toward the deformation part 4b, and the second hook edge 42 is located on the side wall of the ring-shaped groove 43 away from the deformation part 4b.

[0095] By inlaying the first magnetic force piece 41 in the deformation part 4b, the deformation part 4b can be driven by magnetic force to achieve the effect of deformation, without using a vacuum pump or mechanical structure to drive, thus preventing noise from being generated at the source and affecting the user's mood.

[0096] In one embodiment, the third magnetic force piece 45 is inlaid in the deformation part 4b and located at the periphery of the first magnetic force piece 41.

[0097] In the embodiment, when there are multiple third magnetic force pieces 45, the diameters of the third magnetic force pieces 45 increase in turn from inside to outside along the radial direction of the deformation part 4b.

[0098] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the deformation part 4b is wavy.

[0099] In the embodiment, by arranging the deformation part 4b to be wavy, the resilience of the deformation part 4b can be increased, and the third magnetic force piece 45 is arranged in the wave trough 46 of the deformation part 4b. Optionally, the cross-section of the third magnetic force piece 45 is arranged to be arc-shaped, so that the third magnetic force piece 45 is adapted to the wave trough 46 of the deformation part 4b.

[0100] The forming process of the flexible film assembly part 4a (i.e., the flexible part 4) is as follows:

[0101] First, the flexible film assembly part 4a is integrally formed by injection molding;

[0102] Then, the first magnetic force piece 41 assembly part 4a and the third magnetic force piece 45 assembly part 4a are inlaid in the deformation part 4b assembly part 4a: the first magnetic force piece 41 assembly part 4a and the third magnetic force piece 45 assembly part 4a are formed at the suction cup diaphragm by sleeving, at this time the neodymium alloy at the flexible film assembly part 4a does not have magnetism, after the sleeving forming is completed, the flexible film assembly part 4a (with the first magnetic force piece 41 assembly part 4a and the third magnetic force piece 45 assembly part 4a built-in) is placed in a fixed position in a jig to be not free to move, the suction cup diaphragm assembly (with the first magnetic force piece 41 assembly part 4a and the third magnetic force piece 45 assembly part 4a built-in) placed in the jig is placed into a magnetizing machine for magnetizing, and then the flexible film assembly part 4a of the application is obtained.

[0103] The specific steps are as follows,

[0104] S1, clean the surface of the neodymium alloy (not magnetized) of oil stains and dust;

[0105] S2, apply a treatment agent that can bond metal and silica gel to the surface of the neodymium alloy, and subsequent drying treatment needs to be performed according to the instructions of the treatment agent;

[0106] S3, after the treatment is completed, the neodymium alloy is placed into a mold for sleeving and forming a silica gel base;

[0107] S4, the completed base assembly is cleaned to remove surface oil and dust;

[0108] S5, the coating agent is dried according to the instructions of the coating agent;

[0109] S6, the processed base assembly is placed in a mold and re-wrapped with a flexible film to form a semi-finished flexible film (with a neodymium alloy);

[0110] S7, the obtained semi-finished flexible film (with a neodymium alloy) is placed in a magnetizing jig in sequence so that the semi-finished flexible film (with a neodymium alloy) does not move randomly during magnetizing, and then placed in a magnetizing machine for magnetizing, thereby obtaining a flexible film with magnetism.

[0111] In one embodiment, the flexible member 4 is provided with a protrusion 44, and the protrusion 44 is located on the side wall of the assembly part 4a away from the annular groove 43.

[0112] In this embodiment, after the convex ring 122 is assembled with the suction cup, the protrusion 44 and the side wall of the convex ring 122 can also form an interference fit, improving the sealing performance of the connection.

[0113] In one embodiment, the first magnetic member 41 and the third magnetic member 45 are both neodymium magnets.

[0114] In this embodiment, the neodymium magnet is a neodymium alloy after magnetization.

[0115] The application provides a magnetic driving system composed of the components in the above-mentioned embodiment of the breast pump driven by magnetic force to generate negative pressure, which comprises:

[0116] The flexible member 4;

[0117] The flexible member installation structure 34;

[0118] The flexible member 4 is arranged on the flexible member installation structure 34, and the connection between the flexible member 4 and the flexible member installation structure 34 is a sealed connection; the flexible member installation structure 34 is provided with an air hole 47;

[0119] The first magnetic member 41 is arranged in the flexible member 4;

[0120] The second magnetic member 5 is arranged opposite to the first magnetic member 41, and the second magnetic member 5 can be alternately switched between S-pole and N-pole.

[0121] The application changes the traditional breast pumping mode of vacuum pump plus electromagnetic valve to electromagnetic breast pumping mode, and the second magnetic force piece alternately changes between S pole and N pole, so as to drive the flexible piece to deform, thereby generating negative pressure for breast pumping. The vacuum pump and electromagnetic valve are cancelled, the noise generation source is eliminated, the noise is greatly reduced to even "zero" noise, the influence on the mood of the mother is eliminated, and the comfort is improved.

[0122] In one embodiment, the magnetic force of the first magnetic force piece 41 and the second magnetic force piece 5 (i.e. electromagnetic coil) can be calculated according to the design requirements, and the specific method is as follows:

[0123] Pressure = force / force area, i.e. P = F / S, F = P*S;

[0124] From the conversion between air pressure and force, it can be known that 1 pa = 1 N / m2, in addition, 1 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) = 133.3223684 pascal (Pa);

[0125] Therefore, after the area of the flexible piece mounting structure 34 is calculated, the force required for the flexible piece 4 of the flexible piece mounting structure 34 to pull upward can be obtained by substituting the formula.

[0126] From the Maxwell electromagnetic attraction calculation formula,

[0127] Formula one: electromagnetic attraction F = B 2 *S / 2*μ 0 = φ2 / 2*μ 0 *S

[0128] In the formula, B is the magnetic induction intensity (T), S is the magnetic path cross-sectional area (m 2 ), φ is the magnetic flux passing through the cross section (Wb), and μ 0 is the vacuum permeability (4π*10^-7 Wb / A·m).

[0129] Without considering the magnetic leakage loss and the connection air gap loss, only considering the deformation activity stroke of the flexible piece mounting structure 34 as the main air gap, at this time the magnetic induction intensity B at the built-in magnetic component of the flexible piece mounting structure 34 is:

[0130] Formula two: B = N*U*μ 0 / R*g = N*I*μ 0 / g

[0131] In the formula, N is the number of turns; I is the current intensity (A); U is the power voltage (V); R is the winding coil resistance (Ω); and g is the air gap width (m) (i.e. the distance from the built-in magnetic component of the flexible piece mounting structure 34 to the coil cross section).

[0132] Substituting formula two into formula one can obtain:

[0133] Formula three: electromagnetic attraction F = (N*I)2*μ 0 *S / 2*g2

[0134] The area of the first magnetic force member 41 can be determined by the above design, and is the same as the cross-sectional area S of the coil magnetic circuit. Meanwhile, the distance g of the cross section of the first magnetic force member 41 to the second magnetic force member 5 can be calculated. The number of turns N and the coil current I can be used as debugging values. N*I is proportional to F, so that F is greater than the upward force of the flexible member 4, thereby meeting the requirement of the negative pressure.

[0139] In the embodiment, the traditional vacuum pump and the electromagnetic valve are changed into the electromagnetic type of breast pump, which greatly reduces the weight of the breast pump and is easy to carry. Meanwhile, the vacuum pump and the electromagnetic valve are cancelled, the second magnetic force member 5 is used to control the movement of the first magnetic force member 41, thereby driving the flexible member 4 to deform, so that the sealed cavity forms the negative pressure to force the breast to lactate.
