Flexible Silicone Breast Suction Device with Sealed Connecting Pipe
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional breast suction devices often experience air leakage during physical activities, leading to a poor sucking effect and frequent breast milk leakage.
Innovation Solution
A wearable leak-proof breast suction device featuring a breast suction cover with a sucker and connecting pipe made of flexible silicone material, designed to fit the breast securely and prevent air leakage by directing breast milk flow through a through hole connected to a three-way member, enhancing airtightness and user comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional breast suction device is used, then the device structure is simple, but air leakage occurs during physical activities resulting in poor sucking effect and milk leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The breast suction device is divided into multiple functional components: a breast suction cover for sealing, a sucker with through hole for milk ejection, and a connecting pipe for fluid connection. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall airtightness during physical activities.
Solution Approach 2:
The sucker is disposed on the central bulging part of the breast suction cover, with the connecting pipe connecting the through hole of the sucker to the three-way member. This nested arrangement ensures that the sucker is positioned optimally for milk ejection while the connecting pipe provides a sealed fluid pathway, preventing air leakage.
2Reliability
If the sucker covers the entire breast, then the contact area is large providing good seal, but the breast milk cannot be effectively directed to the three-way member
Solution Approach 1:
The breast suction cover has a larger surface area for sealing against the breast, while the sucker has a smaller surface area with a through hole for targeted milk ejection. This local differentiation allows the cover to provide comprehensive sealing while the sucker efficiently directs milk to the three-way member.
Solution Approach 2:
The sucker is disposed on the central bulging part of the breast suction cover, creating a three-dimensional structure where the sucker protrudes toward the breast. This spatial arrangement ensures that the sucker is positioned optimally for milk ejection while the connecting pipe provides a sealed fluid pathway to the three-way member.
3Reliability
If the connecting pipe is rigid, then the structure is stable, but the sucker cannot follow breast movement causing air leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting pipe is designed to be flexible rather than rigid, allowing it to bend and follow breast movement during physical activities. This dynamic flexibility maintains the sealed connection between the sucker and the three-way member, preventing air leakage while adapting to changing breast positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting pipe is made of flexible material that can deform and follow breast movement, maintaining the sealed connection between the sucker and the three-way member during physical activities, thereby preventing air leakage.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device effectively prevents air and milk leakage, ensuring a better sucking effect and improved user experience by maintaining airtightness during operation, even with breast movement.
Implementation Method 1
the sucker has the through hole, which is connected to the three-way member, thereby breast milk sucked out by the breast suction device body can flow into the three-way member through the through hole. The sucker clings to the breast for the nipple to be placed in the through hole
Implementation Method 2
Each of the connecting pipe, the sucker, and the breast suction cover is flexible. The connecting pipe can be used for the sucker to follow the movement of the breasts, so that the sucker can fit the breasts better, thereby preventing the air leakage.
