Description

All-in-one electric breast pump {INTEGRAL TYPE ELECTRIC BREAST PUMP}

An embodiment of the present invention relates to an integrated electric breast milk pump.

In general, a breast pump (breast pump) is used to express breast milk when it is difficult for a mother to directly breastfeed a child or store breast milk.

The breast pump is composed of a breast-feeding cup that covers the breast, a bottle containing breast milk, and a driving device that generates a driving force for collecting such breast milk. Such breast pumps are classified into a manual type and an automatic type.

The passive breast milking machine generates a vacuum pressure by repeatedly holding and unfolding a lever or an air bag type device, and then the breast milk is squeezed out of the vacuum pressure and stored in the bottle. However, this passive breastfeeding machine not only causes discomfort because the user must repeatedly hold and open hands in order to drive, but also has a problem in that it is difficult to express breast milk due to insufficient expressing function.

In addition, the automatic breastfeeding machine includes an electric motor and a cylinder pump. In this regard, the "breast milking machine" of the Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0219781 was disclosed, which is an adsorption applied to the breastfeeding part (breast) of the mother. It is a non-return valve that prevents the breast milk inside the bottle from flowing back to the outside by providing a tube on one side and a coupling part that is screwed to the baby bottle at the lower side, and by being engaged with the breast milk discharge hole formed on the bottom surface of the inner space divided by the diaphragm. It is connected as a tube to the configured milking port and the intake/exhaust hole of one side communicating with the inner space of the milking port, separated by a certain length, and vacuum pumping or vacuum pumping the air filled in the inner space of the milking port as a repeating period of a certain cycle. It consists of a vacuum pumping means for periodically milking the breast milk while releasing, and a piston driving means for performing a pumping operation of the vacuum pumping means.
