[0068] The present application provides a breast pump 1.
[0069] In combination with FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the breast pump 1 comprises a breast shield 10, a milk storage container 20 and a negative pressure assembly 30; one side of the breast shield 10 is used to cover the breast, and the other side is provided with a milk outlet 11; the milk storage container 20 comprises a milk bowl 21 and a cover 22, the cover 22 covers the milk bowl 21, and the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 form a milk storage space 23, the surface of the cover 22 is provided with a milk inlet 221 communicating with the milk storage space 23; the negative pressure assembly 30 is used to directly or indirectly apply negative pressure to the breast shield 10 or the milk storage container 20 to suck the milk into the milk storage container 20; wherein the breast shield 10 and the cover 22 are detachably connected, and the milk outlet 11 and the milk inlet 221 are in liquid communication.
[0070] In the embodiment, the breast pump 1 mainly comprises three parts of the breast shield 10, the milk storage container 20 and the negative pressure assembly 30. The breast shield 10 is made of soft silica gel material, and its shape is designed as a horn or a funnel which is convenient to fit the contour of the breast, so as to ensure the comfort and airtightness in the process of milk pumping. One side of the breast shield 10 directly contacts with the breast, and the other side is provided with the milk outlet 11, which is designed as a structure easy to connect with the milk inlet 221 of the cover 22, so as to facilitate the assembly of the breast shield 10 and the cover 22 and the smooth flow of milk.
[0071] The cover 22 is detachably connected with the breast shield 10, for example, connected by screw thread, plug-in, clamping, etc., so as to facilitate cleaning of the breast shield 10 and storage of the milk storage container 20. The surface of the cover 22 is provided with a milk inlet 221 which is in communication with the milk storage space 23 and used for receiving the milk flowing out of the breast shield 10. In an embodiment of the present application, the milk inlet 221 is arranged at the middle position of the cover 22, and the milk outlet 11 of the breast shield 10 is also arranged at the middle position of the breast shield. Therefore, when the breast shield 10 and the cover 22 are connected and the milk inlet 221 is in communication with the milk outlet 11, the center lines of the breast shield 10 and the cover 22 are arranged in coincidence, so that when the breast shield 10 is attached to the breast, the milk storage container 20 is also matched with the bra, thereby improving the convenience during the breast pumping operation. The surface of the milk storage container 20 is provided with a scale, and the material of the milk bowl 21 at least at the scale is transparent or translucent, so that the user can determine the milk volume through the scale during the breast pumping process.
[0072] The negative pressure assembly 30 can be composed of a main housing 31 and a negative pressure pump 32, so as to automatically control the negative pressure pump 32 to generate negative pressure and complete breast pumping. Of course, the negative pressure assembly 30 can also be a manually pressed negative pressure structure, for example, a structure of a pressurized air bag, a pressure rod and a piston, which provides negative pressure during breast pumping by manual pressing. The communication mode of the negative pressure assembly 30 with the breast shield 10 or the milk storage container 20 includes direct communication or indirect communication. Specifically, the direct communication means that the negative pressure port of the negative pressure pump 32 is directly communicated to the internal space of the milk storage container 20 or the breast shield 10 through an air pipe, so as to suck the milk to flow out and store in the milk storage container. The indirect communication means that the negative pressure is indirectly transmitted to the milk storage container 20 or the breast shield 10 through the vibration or deformation of the gas-liquid separation piece of the negative pressure port of the negative pressure pump 32, so as to suck the milk to flow out and store in the milk storage container.
[0073] In addition, the negative pressure assembly 30 can be communicated to the breast shield 10 or the milk storage container 20 through a soft pipe with a certain distance, so as to be placed on the desktop during breast pumping, reduce the weight of the structure worn in the bra, and improve the user experience. The negative pressure assembly 30 can also be directly installed on the breast shield 10 or the milk storage container 20, so as to be controlled or adjusted by the user. In addition, the negative pressure assembly 30 further includes a control panel, which allows the user to adjust the suction force according to personal comfort, so as to ensure efficient and gentle breast pumping during the breast pumping process.
[0074] In the embodiment, since the milk storage space 23 of the breast pump 1 is formed by the milk bowl 21 and the cover 22, and the breast shield 10 is detachably connected with the cover 22, the breast shield 10 contaminated by milk can be detached from the milk storage container 20 and cleaned, and then the milk storage container 20 containing milk is stored, thereby reducing the step of pouring the milk in the milk storage space 23 into a feeding bottle for storage, facilitating the cleaning of the breast shield 10, and improving the convenience of use.
[0075] Since the sizes of breasts of different users are different or change in different stages, there is a gap between the breast and the breast shield 10, and therefore the same type of breast shield 10 cannot meet the needs of different users or different stages of a user. Since the breast shield 10 and the milk bowl 21 need to form the milk storage space 23, when the breast shield 10 of a different type is replaced, the connection between the breast shield 10 and the milk bowl 21 is affected. Therefore, the milk storage space 23 is designed by the milk bowl 21 and the cover 22 in the application, when a user needs to adjust the structure of the breast shield 10, since the breast shield 10 does not form the milk storage space 23, the influence on the structure of the milk storage space 23 is reduced, that is, the milk storage container 20 can be adapted to the breast shield 10 of different sizes, thereby facilitating the user to replace different breast shields 10 according to their own needs.
[0076] In addition, when a user needs to feed milk, the breast shield 10 contaminated by milk can be detached from the milk storage container 20, and the nipple 201 is covered on the milk inlet 221 to feed milk, and then the breast shield 10 contaminated by milk is cleaned separately, without the need to pour the milk in the milk storage container 20 into a feeding bottle, thereby improving the convenience of the breast pump 1 after pumping milk. In an embodiment of the application, the milk storage container 20 is designed to be at least partially adapted to a bra, so that the breast pump 1 can be stably worn in the bra. It can be understood that the milk storage container 20 designed to be worn in the bra does not mean that the milk storage container 20 must be completely inside the bra, but means that it is designed to be at least partially adapted to and worn in the bra, so that the shape of the milk storage container 20 can be arc-shaped, drop-shaped or generally hemispherical.
[0077] In an embodiment of the application, the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 can be an integral structure, at this time the milk storage container 20 is a disposable container, which is connected to the breast shield 10 when pumping milk, and is discarded after pumping milk, without the need to disassemble the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21, and without the need to clean the milk storage container, thereby improving the convenience of use.
[0078] In another embodiment, the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 can also be detachably connected, such as threaded connection, interference fit connection, clamping, etc., so that the user can separate the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 after the breast pumping is completed, and clean the inside of the milk storage container 20.
[0079] In combination with FIGS. 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the breast shield 10 extends towards the cover 22 and forms a first nipple passage 12, one end of the first nipple passage 12 is provided with a milk outlet 11, and the first nipple passage 12 is used to accommodate the nipple.
[0080] In this embodiment, the first nipple passage 12 is designed on one side of the shield, which extends from the inside of the shield to the milk outlet 11, forming a straight passage. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the breast shield 10 extends towards the cover 22 and forms a tubular structure with the first nipple passage 12 inside. At this time, the milk outlet 11 of the first nipple passage 12 can coincide with the milk inlet 221 of the cover 22, or the first nipple passage 12 can be inserted into the milk inlet 221 of the cover 22, that is, the milk inlet 221 is located on the side of the milk outlet 11 away from the milk bowl 21.
[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the first nipple passage 12 is designed to be inclined towards the bottom of the milk bowl 21, further improving the convenience of milk flowing into the milk storage container 20.
[0082] During breast pumping, the first nipple passage 12 is used to accommodate the nipple to ensure that the milk can smoothly pass through the first nipple passage 12, the milk outlet 11, and finally flow into the milk storage container 20. The inner wall of the first nipple passage 12 is made of soft medical-grade silicone material to reduce friction and discomfort to the nipple, while providing good sealing to prevent air from entering. The diameter of the first nipple passage 12 is designed to be larger than the size of most nipples to ensure the comfort of the nipple during breast pumping.
[0083] In combination with FIGS. 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the cover 22 extends away from the breast shield 10 and forms a second nipple passage 222, one end of the second nipple passage 222 away from the breast shield 10 is provided with a milk inlet 221, the milk outlet 11 communicates with the second nipple passage 222, and the second nipple passage 222 is used to accommodate the nipple.
[0084] In the present embodiment, the cover 22 extends towards the direction away from the breast shield 10 to form a second nipple passage 222. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the outer peripheral wall of the cover 22 extending towards the direction away from the breast shield 10 forms a tubular structure with the second nipple passage 222 inside. Therefore, when the breast is attached to the breast shield 10 for milk extraction, the nipple passes through the milk outlet 11 of the breast shield 10 and extends into the second nipple passage 222 to ensure that the milk can flow smoothly through the second nipple passage 222, the milk inlet 221 and finally into the milk storage container 20.
[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the milk inlet 221 of the cover 22 is arranged at a position close to the bottom wall of the second nipple passage 222, and the second nipple passage 222 is designed to be inclined towards the bottom of the milk bowl 21, further improving the convenience of milk flowing into the milk storage container 20. The inner wall of the second nipple passage 222 is made of soft medical-grade silicone material to reduce friction and discomfort to the nipple, while providing good sealing to prevent air from entering. The diameter of the second nipple passage 222 is designed to be larger than the size of most nipples to ensure the comfort of the nipple during milk extraction. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the second nipple passage 222 and the breast shield 10, an annular protruding structure is designed on the inner wall of the second nipple passage 222 towards the breast shield 10 side, which tightly fits with the corresponding part of the breast shield 10 to ensure that there is no air leakage during milk extraction. In addition, the annular protruding structure can also buffer the negative pressure generated during milk extraction to some extent, protecting the nipple from damage.
[0086] In combination with FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the breast shield 10 extends towards the direction close to the cover 22 to form a first nipple passage 12, and the cover 22 extends towards the direction away from the breast shield 10 to form a second nipple passage 222, the first nipple passage 12 and the second nipple passage 222 at least partially overlap, and the first nipple passage 12 and the second nipple passage 222 both at least partially accommodate the nipple.
[0087] In the embodiment, the specific structure of the first nipple channel 12 and the second nipple channel 222 can refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be further described. In the embodiment, the first nipple channel 12 and the second nipple channel 222 are provided at the same time, the inner diameter of the first nipple channel 12 is designed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the second nipple channel 222, and the first nipple channel 12 is at least partially embedded in the second nipple channel 222. The structure design increases the contact area between the breast shield 10 and the cover 22, improves the connection strength and sealing effect of the two, and avoids the milk flowing from the gap between the second nipple channel 222 and the first nipple channel 12 to the outside of the breast pump 1. At the same time, the first nipple channel 12 and the second nipple channel 222 are both inclined towards the bottom of the milk bowl 21 to improve the smoothness of the milk flowing to the milk storage container 20. A buffer structure is provided at the intersection of the first nipple channel 12 and the second nipple channel 222, which is made of soft silica gel material, such as a silica gel sealing ring, to ensure the sealing effect during the breast pumping process.
[0088] In combination with FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the cover 22 is recessed towards the milk storage space 23 to form a fitting portion 223, the fitting portion 223 is at least partially compatible with the shape of the breast shield 10, and the material of the fitting portion 223 is hard plastic. The breast shield 10 is embedded in the fitting portion 223 and is attached to the cover 22.
[0089] In the embodiment, as known from the above, the breast shield 10 has a shape of a horn or a funnel, and therefore the fitting portion 223 recessed on the cover 22 also has a shape of a horn or a funnel, so that the fitting portion 223 is compatible with the shape of the breast shield 10. The size of the fitting portion 223 can be the same as that of the breast shield 10, so that the two are completely attached. Alternatively, the size of the fitting portion 223 can be designed to be smaller than that of the breast shield 10, so that the breast shield 10 is partially embedded in the fitting portion 223. The breast shield 10 exposed outside the fitting portion 223 can prevent the milk from entering the fitting portion 223, thereby avoiding the fitting portion 223 from being contaminated by the milk and reducing the cleaning workload.
[0090] In the process of breast pumping, the breast shield 10 is made of flexible material, and the breast shield 10 is in contact with the breast to improve the comfort during breast pumping. The cover 22 is not used to contact the breast, so the fitting part 223 of the cover 22 is made of hard plastic to make the fitting part 223 have better structural strength when the end of the breast shield 10 is embedded in the fitting part 223. The fitting part 223 can press the breast shield 10, and then realize the close fit between the breast shield 10 and the fitting part 223, thereby improving the sealing effect between the breast shield 10 and the cover 22. At the same time, since the fitting part 223 has good structural strength, the user can use greater force to embed the breast shield 10 into the fitting part 223, so that the breast pump 1 has high reliability. It can be understood that the fitting part 223 can also be made of metal or other hard materials.
[0091] The design of the fitting part 223 improves the contact area between the cover 22 and the breast shield 10, and further improves the sealing effect between the cover 22 and the breast shield 10, so as to ensure that the milk does not leak during breast pumping, and improve the practicability and hygiene of the entire breast pump 1.
[0092] In combination with FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the breast shield 10 is provided with a milk outlet 11, and one end of the milk outlet 11 is a milk outlet end 13. The milk outlet end 13 is in interference fit with the fitting part 223 of the cover 22.
[0093] In this embodiment, the milk outlet end 13 and the fitting part 223 are connected to the cover 22 in a detachable manner by interference fit, that is, the close connection is realized by slight elastic deformation. This connection method not only ensures the firmness of the connection and the sealing effect between the breast shield 10 and the cover 22, but also facilitates the user to quickly disassemble and clean when needed.
[0094] In order to further improve the sealing effect, a series of elastic flanges are designed on the outer periphery of the milk outlet end 13 of the breast shield 10. These flanges are made of soft silicone material and can be elastically deformed when the user embeds the milk outlet end 13 into the fitting part 223, and tightly fit with the inner surface of the fitting part 223 to form a good sealing effect. In order to further improve the stability of the connection, a locking structure is provided between the fitting part 223 of the cover 22 and the breast shield 10. The structure includes an annular groove and a movable locking piece. When the milk outlet end 13 is embedded in the fitting part 223, the locking piece will automatically slide into the groove, and the breast shield 10 is firmly locked on the cover 22. The locking piece is made of high-strength plastic material to ensure the reliability of the connection.
[0095] In other embodiments, the breast shield 10 and the cover 22 can be connected by thread connection, fastener connection, clamping, etc. For example, in an embodiment, the outer periphery of the milk outlet end 13 of the breast shield 10 is provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the abutting portion 223 of the cover 22 is provided with internal threads. The breast shield 10 is rotated to threadedly connect the milk outlet end 13 and the abutting portion 223. This connection can improve the connection strength between the cover 22 and the breast shield 10. At least part of the thread connection between the milk outlet end 13 and the abutting portion 223 is an elastic structure, or a sealing ring is provided to ensure the sealing effect of the cover 22 and the breast shield 10.
[0096] In combination with FIGS. 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the side of the cover 22 away from the breast shield 10 is embedded in the milk bowl 21 and is in interference fit with the milk bowl 21.
[0097] In this embodiment, the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 are designed to be detachably connected, so that the user can clean the inside of the milk storage space 23 after use. Specifically, the side of the cover 22 away from the breast shield 10 is embedded in the milk bowl 21 and is connected to the milk bowl 21 in interference fit. This structure design not only ensures the structural stability of the milk storage container 20, but also facilitates the user to easily detach the cover 22 when cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning convenience of the milk storage container 20.
[0098] The interference fit depends on the size matching between the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21. In order to facilitate the sealing and assembly between the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21, a series of elastic flanges are designed on the outer edge of the cover 22. These flanges can be elastically deformed during assembly, so that the cover 22 is tightly embedded and interference fitted with the milk bowl 21. The size of the end of the cover 22 away from the milk bowl 21 is greater than the size of the opening of the milk bowl 21, so that after the cover 22 is interference fitted with the milk bowl 21, the cover 22 covers the opening of the milk bowl 21, further improving the sealing effect of the milk storage space 23. In order to further improve the stability of the connection, a locking structure such as a threaded hole and a threaded connecting piece, or a clamping groove and a clamping protrusion, etc. can be provided between the milk bowl 21 and the cover 22. When the cover 22 is embedded in the milk bowl 21, the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 are secondarily locked and connected by the locking structure to ensure the reliability of the connection.
[0099] In combination with FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the breast pump 1 further comprises a one-way valve 40, which comprises a milk inlet end 41 and a milk outlet end 42. The milk inlet end 41 communicates with the milk inlet 221, and at least the milk outlet end 42 is arranged in the milk storage space 23.
[0100] In the embodiment, the one-way valve 40 has the function of one-way flow guide, the flow guide direction is from the milk inlet end 41 to the milk outlet end 42, which can prevent the milk from flowing out from the milk inlet 221 to the outside of the milk storage space 23 under the condition of ensuring that the milk can flow from the milk inlet 221 to the milk storage space 23, so as to avoid the backflow of the milk. The one-way valve 40 can be arranged in the milk storage space 23 as a whole, and the milk inlet end 41 is arranged opposite to the milk inlet 221; or only the milk outlet end 42 of the one-way valve 40 passes through the milk inlet 221 and is arranged in the milk storage space 23, and the rest of the one-way valve 40 is arranged outside the milk storage space 23. It can be understood that the position design of the one-way valve 40 which can realize one-way flow guide of the milk storage container 20 belongs to the protection scope of the application.
[0101] The one-way valve 40 and the cover 22 are detachably connected or integrally formed. When the one-way valve 40 and the cover 22 are detachably connected, in order to further improve the sealing effect between the one-way valve 40 and the cover 22, a sealing ring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the one-way valve 40, and the sealing ring is in interference fit with the cover 22 and the one-way valve 40, so as to ensure that the milk storage container 20 has good sealing effect during the breast pumping process.
[0102] In combination with FIGS. 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the application, the breast shield 10, the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 are detachably connected in sequence along a first direction, and the milk flows through the breast shield 10, the cover 22 and finally flows to the milk storage space 23 along the first direction.
[0103] In the embodiment, the first direction is the direction along the X axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system as defined in FIG. 3. These components are detachably connected in sequence along the same direction, forming a structure which is easy to assemble and disassemble. At the same time, the milk also flows through the breast shield 10, the cover 22 and finally flows to the milk storage space 23 along the same direction. This design reduces the bending angle, making the cleaning and maintenance of the whole breast pump 1 more convenient, and also improves the efficiency of milk flow guide. The specific connection mode of the breast shield 10 and the cover 22, and the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 can refer to the introduction of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be further described here.
[0104] In combination with FIGS. 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the application, the negative pressure assembly 30 includes a main housing 31 and a negative pressure pump 32, and the negative pressure pump 32 is arranged in the main housing 31; the negative pressure assembly 30 is detachably mounted on the milk storage container 20, and the negative pressure pump 32 communicates with the milk storage space 23; the negative pressure pump 32 transmits negative pressure to the breast shield 10 or the milk storage container 20 through a diaphragm or an air bag; or, the negative pressure pump 32 is connected with the milk storage space 23 through an air tube 33, and transmits negative pressure to the breast shield 10 or the milk storage container 20 through a diaphragm or an air bag.
[0105] In the embodiment, the negative pressure assembly 30 further comprises a circuit control board and a display panel. The circuit control board is arranged in the main housing 31 and is in communication connection with the negative pressure pump 32. The display panel is arranged on the outer surface of the main housing 31 and is used for controlling and adjusting the negative pressure pump 32. The negative pressure assembly 30 can be detachably mounted on the milk storage container 20, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the negative pressure assembly 30 is mounted on the milk bowl 21, and the connection mode can be threaded connection or clamping, etc. The negative pressure assembly 30 can also be designed as a separate structure from the milk storage container 20, and the negative pressure pump 32 is in communication with the milk storage space 23 through the air pipe 33. This design facilitates the placement of the negative pressure assembly 30 on the desktop to reduce the wearing weight.
[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, the communication mode of the negative pressure pump 32 with the milk storage container 20 or the breast shield 10 has three modes:
[0107] 1. Directly plug the negative pressure pump 32 into the breast shield 10 or the milk storage container 20;
[0108] 2. A diaphragm blocking piece 52, such as a diaphragm or an air bag, is arranged at the negative pressure port of the negative pressure pump 32, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The cover 22 is embedded in the outer side of the end portion of the milk bowl 21 and is provided with a diaphragm support 51. The diaphragm blocking piece 52 is mounted on the diaphragm support 51. The diaphragm blocking piece 52 is an air bag, which separates the negative pressure pump 32 and the milk storage space 23, so as to avoid the milk in the milk storage space 23 being sucked into the negative pressure pump 32 or the pipeline. Since the air bag is an elastic structure, the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure pump 32 will cause the air bag to deform, thereby forming a negative pressure environment in the milk storage space 23.
[0109] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, a first air guide hole 212 is formed on the milk bowl 21, and a second air guide hole 224 is formed on the end of the cover 22 embedded in the milk storage space 23, penetrating the diaphragm support 51 and the cover 22. The air bag is embedded in the diaphragm support 51 and adheres to the inner wall of the diaphragm support 51, so that the air bag blocks the second air guide hole 224. At the same time, a pressing part 211 is protruded on the inner wall of the milk bowl 21 towards the diaphragm support 51 of the cover 22, and the pressing part 211 presses against the inner wall of the air bag. Therefore, under the clamping of the pressing part 211 and the diaphragm support 51, the air bag seals the second air guide hole 224 of the cover 22. The negative pressure pump 32 is connected to the first air guide hole 212 through a pipeline. When the negative pressure pump 32 works, the suction force generated by the negative pressure pump 32 passes through the first air guide hole 212 to suck the air bag to deform towards the first air guide hole 212, so that the air bag sucks the gas in the milk storage space 23 through the second air guide hole 224 and the second nipple channel 222, so that the milk storage space 23 is in a negative pressure state, and the milk is sucked into the milk storage space 23 from the breast shield 10. Of course, the diaphragm barrier 52 can also be made of a material that is air-permeable and liquid-impermeable, and is arranged between the negative pressure pump 32 and the milk storage container 20, which can ensure that the negative pressure is formed in the milk storage space 23 and prevent the milk from flowing back to the negative pressure pump 32.
[0110] 3. The gas pipe 33 is connected to the negative pressure port of the negative pressure pump 32, and the other end of the gas pipe 33 is provided with a diaphragm barrier 52. The negative pressure is applied to the diaphragm barrier 52 to exert negative pressure on the milk storage container 20 or the breast shield 10.
[0111] In order to further improve the intelligent degree of the breast pump 1, an intelligent control system is added in the design of the main machine shell 31. The system can monitor the output of the negative pressure in real time and display it through the display screen on the outside of the main machine shell 31. The user can adjust the size of the negative pressure according to the needs to realize personalized breast pumping experience.
[0112] The present application provides a wearable breast pump 1, which solves the problem that the existing milk bowl 21 and breast shield 10 jointly enclose the milk storage space 23, which is not convenient for users to use.

In an embodiment of the present application, the negative pressure assembly 30 further includes an air path switching structure arranged between the two air pipes 33 and the negative pressure pump 32. The two air pipes 33 communicate with the negative pressure pump 32 through the air path switching structure. The air path switching structure can switch different air pipes 33 to communicate with the negative pressure pump 32, thereby realizing the effect of pumping milk from a single or two breasts.
[0124] Sixth embodiment:
[0125] As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the milk bowl 21 and the negative pressure assembly 30 are combined to form a semi-spherical structure, which is convenient to wear in a bra.

A diaphragm barrier 52 is arranged between the negative pressure pump 32 and the first air guide hole 212 of the milk bowl 21. The diaphragm barrier 52 is an elastic air bag. The elastic air bag is deformed by suction of the negative pressure pump 32, so that the negative pressure is formed in the milk storage space 23. In the present embodiment, when the breast milk is sucked, the breast milk flows in the horizontal direction, sequentially passes through the breast shield 10 and the cover 22, and finally flows into the milk storage space 23.
[0126] It can be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are all part of the embodiments listed based on the technical concept of the present application that the cover 22 and the milk bowl 21 enclose the milk storage space 23, for different positions, shapes and matching relationships of the components of the breast pump 1.
