In general, a breast pump is a device that sucks milk from the breast in order to be used for purposes such as difficult to breastfeed normally or to loosen breast tissue.

In addition, it is also a necessary device when the baby and mother want to squeeze and store in advance, increase or decrease the amount of breast milk, when nipples are sore or when it is difficult to breastfeed due to inverted nipples, and when you want to express breast milk quickly due to breast tenderness to be.

In modern times, as the number of dual-income couples increases, breast pumps are becoming a household necessity, and accordingly, it is one of the devices most directly related to the health of mothers and babies.

Breast pumps are divided into manual and electric types depending on whether power is used or not. Electric breast pumps suck breast milk in several ways (piston type, diaphragm type, etc.) and do not operate unless power is supplied. Therefore, when going out, you must prepare emergency measures (extra batteries, manual breast pump). do.

The expressed breast milk is stored in the storage container 13 through the outlet 20 of the mounting holder 17 and the drain breast milk valve 22 via the breast milk suction passage 23.

The drain breast milk valve 22 is made of a flexible material and is closed while the suction force of the vacuum negative pressure adsorption member 18 is acting, so that the milk or air in the storage container 13 does not flow back again. When the operation of the vacuum pump 3 is stopped, the contracted vacuum negative pressure adsorption member 18 returns to its original state, and the vacuum pressure generated in the container lid head 14 and the breast milk sucker 16 volume disappears.

In this case, the drain breast milk valve 22 is again opened (the lower end is opened), the milk is discharged to the storage container 13, and the above operation is repeated periodically.

In the present invention, the vacuum pressure generated by the driving of the vacuum pump 3 directly extends only to the inside of the vacuum negative pressure adsorption member 18, and is completely blocked from the inside of the mounting holder 17 and the connection pipe (D). Because it has a state-of-the-art structure, breast milk, fine dust, and polluted air are completely blocked and there is no backflow.

Therefore, all kinds of bacteria generated inside the vacuum pump or the connecting tube, which were a problem in the existing breast pump, enter the storage container for expressing, and the breast milk also flows back through the connecting tube in the middle of expressing it and enters the inside of the vacuum pump of the control body. It completely solved the problem of mold growing in the breast milk and repeating the vicious cycle.
