ている。2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional breast pump has a milking bottle 1 for storing breast milk, a cap 2 for opening and closing the opening of the milking bottle 1, and a suction tube 3 for passing the cap 2 through. And a milking unit 4 attached to the suction tube 3, and the milking bottle 1 and the milking unit 4 have a structure communicating with each other via the suction tube 3. Further, a suction pump 5 for creating a negative pressure inside the milking bottle 1 is connected to the cap 2 and attached.

を搾乳する。In using such a breast pump, the milking section is applied to the nipple and the breast, and the air in the milking bottle 1 is sucked out by the suction pump 5 to make the milk pressure negative, so that the milking section 4 is drawn through the suction pipe 3. The inside is set to a negative pressure, and thereafter, the suction pump 5 is stopped and the pressure is returned to the atmospheric pressure.

後は、樹脂製のものと大差がなかった。However, the above structure has a drawback that the milking effect is poor because the nipple and the breast are only sucked by the negative pressure of the milking part. Even if the milking part was elastic, even after the milking part was soft at first, it was not much different from that made of resin after sucking on the breast.

を特徴とする。Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above problems, a breast pump according to the present invention comprises a milking bottle for storing milk which has been milked, a milking section for breasts communicating with the milking bottle by a suction pipe, and In a breast pump having a manual pump that makes the inside of the milking bottle a negative pressure, the milking part is a funnel-shaped and elastic cup that covers the breast and a funnel-shaped and elastic body that is attached inside the nipple and the areola. It has a small cup, and the thickness of the elastic body of the large cup and the small cup gradually decreases toward the periphery.

たす。According to the present invention, in the milking section, the thickness of the elastic body of the large cup and the small cup gradually decreases toward the edge, so that when the pressure inside the cup becomes negative, the edge is first turned inward. It is sucked strongly and then towards the center, with the breasts and areolas becoming stronger towards the outside and compressed sequentially toward the nipple. On the other hand, the central part of the large cup and small cup has a large elastic body, so there is little deformation, and because it is supported by the outer shell, it keeps its height without crushing to the breast side, and effective suction for the nipple and areola part Power works and effective milking becomes possible. The shell edge also serves to press the edge of the large cup firmly against the breast.

る。FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention. As is clear from FIG.
The milking bottle 1 for storing mother's milk communicates with the milking unit 4 via a suction tube 3 through which a cap 2 provided at the opening thereof is inserted. The cap 2 is connected to a manual or electric suction pump 5 for creating a negative pressure inside the milking bottle 1.

いる。FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the milking unit 4 of the embodiment.
Although it is a partial cross-sectional view, the milking unit 4 has a large funnel-shaped cup 41 made of an elastic body, and a small funnel-shaped small cup 42 made of an elastic body.
A shell 43 made of a rigid material such as resin is provided outside the large cup 41, and one or a plurality of ventilation windows 44 are opened in the shell 43. The small cup root tube portion 46 is inserted into the large cup root tube portion 45 for mounting, the large cup root tube portion 45 is inserted into the shell root tube portion 47 for mounting, and the large cup root tube portion 45 is connected to the suction tube. 3 is detachably fitted.

カップ41とシェル43間に陰圧が生じて密着するのを
防止するために設けられている。The elastic bodies of the large cup 41 and the small cup 42 are formed so that the thickness gradually decreases toward the periphery and becomes soft. The size of the large cup 41 is large enough to accommodate the entire breast, and the size of the small cup 42 is large enough to completely accommodate the areola. The shell 43 is made of a rigid body such as a resin and has one or a plurality of ventilation windows 44, is slightly shorter in length than the large cup 41, and has a shape in which the peripheral portion is opened outward. The shell 43 acts to prevent the large cup 41 from expanding too much when the inside of the milking bottle 1 returns to the atmospheric pressure. As described above, by controlling the movement of the large cup 41, the separation between the breast and the large cup 41 can be prevented, and the milking efficiency increases. The ventilation window 44 is provided to prevent the large cup 41 and the shell 43 from coming into close contact with each other due to negative pressure.

Is inserted and attached, a gap is formed between the joint surfaces of the two tubes, and the inside of the suction tube 3 and the inside of the large cup 41 are ventilated. Therefore, when the small cup 42 is detached from the large cup 41, the joining surfaces do not come into close contact with each other and are unlikely to come off. The same effect can be obtained by providing a ventilation groove outside the small cup root tube portion. The same effect can be obtained even if a small hole is formed in the large cup root pipe 45 or the small cup root pipe 46 instead of the groove.

乳輪部には有効な吸引力が働き、効果的に搾乳される。When the breast pump according to the present invention is used, when the whole breast is placed in the large cup 41, the areola moves to the small cup 42.
The length of insertion of the small cup root tube portion 46 into the large cup root tube portion 45 is adjusted so that the small cup root tube portion can be accommodated. When the periphery of the large cup 41 is brought into contact with the foot of the breast by the shell 43 and the suction port 49 is closed with a finger or a valve and the manual or electric suction pump 6 is operated, the air in the milking bottle 1 is exhausted. As a result, a negative pressure is generated, and through the suction tube 3 and the ventilation groove 48,
The inside of the large cup 41 and the small cup 42 becomes negative pressure. At this time, since the thicknesses of the elastic bodies of the large cup 41 and the small cup 42 gradually decrease toward the periphery, the elastic bodies are sequentially sucked inward from the periphery toward the center. It will be strong and, in turn, squeezed towards the nipple. On the other hand, the central portions of the large cup 41 and the small cup 42 have a thick elastic body and are supported by the outer shell 43, so that the height is maintained without crushing the breast side,
An effective suction force acts on the areola part, and the milk is effectively milked.
【0015】所定時間陰圧にした後、吸気口49を開放
すると大カップ41と小カップ42内は大気圧に戻るた
め、搾乳部4は元の形に戻り、同時に吸引管3内に残っ
ていた母乳は搾乳瓶1内に吸引される。When the suction port 49 is opened after the negative pressure has been applied for a predetermined time, the inside of the large cup 41 and the small cup 42 returns to the atmospheric pressure, so that the milking unit 4 returns to the original shape and remains in the suction pipe 3 at the same time. The sucked milk is sucked into the milking bottle 1.
【0016】このように、陰圧と大気圧とを繰り返すこ
とにより、乳房および乳輪は外側から中央部に向かって
順次圧迫を受け、乳頭、乳輪部には強い吸引力が働くた
め、効果的な搾乳が可能になる。As described above, by repeating the negative pressure and the atmospheric pressure, the breast and areola are successively pressed from the outside toward the center, and a strong suction force acts on the nipple and the areola. Milking becomes possible.

有効な吸引力が働き、効率的な搾乳が可能になる。As described above, according to the breast pump according to the present invention, since the thickness of the elastic body of the large cup and the small cup of the milking section gradually decreases toward the periphery, the breast is reduced by the negative pressure. In addition, the breast is subjected to a stronger compression at the outer side than at the center, and is further compressed from the outer side toward the central nipple. In addition, the elastic body is less deformed in the thick cup central portion and is supported by the shell, so that an effective suction force acts on the nipple and areola to enable efficient milking.
