As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 , the power module 34 can have a power transmission unit 341 , and the power transmission unit 341 can be a built-in or external transformer to provide a connection between the power module 34 and an external power source. The module 34 can be directly powered by the power transmission unit 341 to an external power source (for example, a commercial power source or a mobile power source). In other embodiments, the power module 34 can have a battery unit 342. The battery unit 342 can be powered by the management of the power module 34. The battery unit 342 can be a non-rechargeable battery (such as a dry battery) for power supply. The negative pressure generating unit 32, the electric heating unit 4, and the control unit 33 are electrically powered. In other embodiments, the battery unit 342 can also be a rechargeable battery built in the interior of the host 1. After being charged by the power transmission unit 341, the power can be repeatedly supplied to the negative pressure generating unit 32, the electric heating unit 4, and the control unit 33.

The catheter module 1 is used to connect the host 3 and the breast pumping module 2, and the negative pressure generating unit 32 When the pressure is generated, the connection of the catheter module 1 can be performed to cause the suction system 2 contacting the user's breast to generate suction, thereby extracting and collecting the milk. In one embodiment of the present invention, a negative pressure generating unit The 32 (push) and the pair of catheter modules 1 are only suitable for one side of the breast, and therefore, for the product of the present invention, there are usually two pairs (one pair) of negative pressure generating units 32 (pugs) and a catheter module 1. Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the host 3 has a receiving end 35 for inserting and fixing the first conduit 12 and the second conduit 13 (as shown in FIG. 8), the first conduit 12 and the first conduit The opposite end of the second duct 13 connected to one end of the joint 11 is connected to the main body 3 through the receiving end 35, the first duct 12 is connected to the control unit 33, and the second duct 13 is connected to the negative pressure generating unit 32. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the power required by the electric heating unit 4, the control unit 33, and the negative pressure generating unit 32 is all provided by the power module 34.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the electric breast pump of the present invention may include a display unit 37 disposed on the surface of the main body 3. The display unit 37 may be, for example, a light-emitting column with a scale, which may display the power module 34. The closed state and the temperature state of the electric heating unit 4. Furthermore, the control unit 33 can be a knob and/or a push switch. As shown in FIG. 6, when the user rotates the power module 34, the bottom light of the display unit 37 flashes, indicating that the power is turned on, and then the electrical contact 111 of the connector 11 of the catheter module 1 is required to be sucked. The socket 2121 of the joint portion 212 of the module 2 is engaged, the bottom lamp of the display unit 37 is maintained in a constant light state, and the light column is raised to a certain length, which represents the temperature rise of the electric heating unit 4, and is being applied to the breast pumping module 2 In the embodiment in which the control unit 33 includes the push switch, the user can directly press the control unit 33 to cancel the warm-up procedure. If the warm-up is completed until the warm-up is completed, the light-emitting column will rise to another height. The representative has already warmed up and the user can start using the breast pumping module 2. Further, the user can rotate the control unit 33 to adjust the strength of the negative pressure generating unit 32 to change the suction force to draw the milk.

The negative pressure generating unit 32 can have two modes of operation for sucking milk. The first type is a high frequency and low intensity "promoting lactation" mode, which can accelerate the secretion of milk, and the second is low frequency and high intensity. In the mild milk collection mode, it should be noted that the frequency is not adjustable, only two high and low fixed frequencies, but in the high frequency or low frequency mode, the user can adjust the intensity by rotating the control unit 33. The foregoing modes of operation are merely exemplary. In various embodiments, the negative pressure generating unit 32 can be set to other types of operating modes.

Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 again. Since the catheter module 1 and the breast pumping module 2 are connected to the joint portion 212 through the joint 11 , the electrical contact 111 is electrically connected to the socket 2121 and the convex portion. 113 is engaged with the second through hole 2122, so that the power module 34 transmits power to the electric heating unit 4 through the first conduit 12 to heat it, and causes the negative pressure generating unit 32 to deliver air through the opening 112 through the second conduit 13 to The second through hole 2122, the first through hole 2111, the second through hole 2122, and the third through hole 2131 of the adapter body 21 are structurally connected to each other, but since the diaphragm member 23 has been disposed in the second through hole 2122 In other words, the diaphragm member 23 can block air from entering the chamber through which the first through hole 2111, the second through hole 2122, and the third through hole 2131 communicate, when the user touches the cover 211 and attaches to the breast, The control unit 33 adjusts the pressure change generated by the negative pressure generating unit 32 to deform the diaphragm member 23, thereby changing the volume and pressure in the chamber, thereby generating suction to stimulate the breast and sucking the milk. In addition, the extracted milk enters the chamber through the first through hole 2111. Due to the blocking action of the diaphragm member 23, the milk does not enter the second conduit 13 via the second through hole 2122, but passes through the third through hole 2131. Through the valve body 24, it is stored in the accommodating bottle 22, and the milk passes through the valve body 24 by its own gravity, and the valve body 24 can prevent the milk entering the accommodating bottle 22 from being sucked out by suction.

In summary, the electric breast pump of the present invention is connected to the main body by using a quick connector and a conduit capable of transmitting electric power and air, and has an electric heating unit embedded in the sucking module. The cover can be heated during use, which is a very intimate design for the novice mother, which is convenient and practical.

The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the principles of the present invention and its effects, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone who is familiar with the art may modify the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the creation. Therefore, the scope of protection of this creation should be as listed in the scope of patent application.
