DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and technical effects of the present invention clearer and more comprehensible, the following further describes the present invention with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, but not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 1-5, a wearable and hidden breast pump includes a shell 10, a flange 20, a negative pressure chamber 30, a negative pressure pump 40, a milk container 50, and a solenoid valve 60. The flange 20 is arranged on a front surface of the shell 10 used for fitting the breasts of the mother. The negative pressure chamber 30 is arranged in the shell 10 and connected with the flange 20 to form a lactation chamber 1. The negative pressure pump 40 and the solenoid valve 60 are arranged in the shell 10. The negative pressure pump 40, the solenoid valve 60, and the negative pressure chamber 30 are communicated, the negative pressure pump 40 intermittently extracts air from the negative pressure chamber 30, alternatively, the solenoid valve 60 intermittently inflates air into the negative pressure chamber 30, thus controlling the air volume in the negative pressure chamber 30, thereby controlling the lactation chamber 1 in a negative pressure state or a positive pressure state, thereby simulating the sucking effect of an infant and promoting the milk secretion in a mild and highly efficient way; the milk container 50 is arranged under the shell 10 and communicated with the lactation chamber 1.

[0038] Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the negative pressure chamber 30 is provided with a through hole 35, one end 41a of a tee valve 41 is communicated with the negative pressure chamber 30 through the through hole 35, another two ends 41b and 41c of the tee valve 41 are respectively communicated with the negative pressure pump 40 and the solenoid valve 60; extracting air from the negative pressure chamber 30 and inflating air into the negative pressure chamber 30 are alternatively operated, thereby controlling the air amount in the negative pressure chamber 30. To clearly illustrate the structure of each component, a few of the figures in the present invention do not show a gas pipe in communication with the tee valve 41, the negative pressure pump 40, and the solenoid. The gas pipe is shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, there are two gas pipes, one of which is in communication with the tee valve 41 and the negative pressure pump 40, and the other of which is in communication with the tee valve 41 and the solenoid valve 60. It should be understood that structures and principles of the negative pump and the solenoid valve 60 are known technologies to persons skilled in the art, and are not described in detail in this present invention.

[0039] Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the negative pressure chamber 30 includes a front cover 31, a rear cover 32, and an anti-counter-flow membrane 33. The anti-counter-flow membrane 33 is made of flexible and elastic material, such as silicone, disposed between the front cover 31 and the rear cover 32 and connected with the front cover 31 and the rear cover 32 in a sealed way. A sealed chamber 34 is formed between the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 and the rear cover 32, the tee valve 41 is communicated with the sealed chamber 34, and the lactation chamber 1 is disposed between the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 and the flange 20. When the wearable and hidden breast pump is used, the flange 20 closely fits the breast of the mother. The negative pressure pump 40 extracts air from the sealed chamber 34 through the tee valve 41 to form negative pressure in it, at this time, the solenoid valve 60 is closed, pressure in the lactation chamber 1 is higher than that in the sealed chamber 34, so that the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 is deformed into the sealed chamber 34, thereby reducing the volume of the sealed chamber 34, expanding the volume of the lactation chamber 1, and forming a negative pressure in the lactation chamber 1. Then, the negative pressure pump 40 stops extracting air, the solenoid valve 60 is operated to inflate air into the sealed chamber 34. The anti-counter-flow membrane 33 is reset to deform in the direction of the lactation chamber 1, the volume of the sealed chamber 34 is increased, the volume of the lactation chamber 1 is reduced, and a positive pressure is formed in the lactation chamber 1.

[0040] That, the negative pressure pump 40 extracts air from the sealed chamber 34 and the solenoid valve 60 inflates air into the sealed chamber 34, is operated alternatively, so that the sealed chamber 34 can simulate the sucking effect of the infant and promote the breast of the mother to secrete milk. Since the negative pressure pump 40 and the solenoid valve 60 do not directly work on the lactation chamber 1 to form a negative pressure or a positive pressure, they directly work on the sealed chamber 34 to cause the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 to deform, thereby controlling the lactation chamber 1 to form the negative pressure or positive pressure, the pressure is gentle so that the breasts feel comfortable, it does not cause pain, and the mother has a good experience. The negative pressure chamber 30 has a simple structure, a lightweight, and a small volume, so that the whole wearable and hidden breast pump has a lightweight, a small volume, and is easy to wear.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the front cover 31 has a guiding cylinder 311, one end of the guiding cylinder 311 is laterally provided with a front cover corrugated part 312, and a periphery of the front cover corrugated part 312 is provided with a front cover connecting part 313. The rear cover 32 has a cover body 321 and a rear cover connecting part 322 arranged on a periphery of the cover body 321, and an inner ring 323 arranged on the cover body 321. The rear cover connecting part 322 is connected with the front cover connecting part 313, and a gap 324 is formed between the inner ring 323 and the front cover connecting part 313. The anti-counter-flow membrane 33 has a deforming part 331, a corrugated part 332, and a sealing part 333. The deforming part 331 is inserted into the guiding cylinder 311, the corrugated part 332 fits the front cover corrugated part 312, the sealing part 333 is inserted into the gap 324, fitting the front cover connecting part 313 and the inner ring 323, thereby connecting them in a sealed way. The sealed chamber 34 is formed among the cover body 321, the inner ring 323, and the anti-counter-flow membrane 33. In order to facilitate adjustment of the volume of the sealed chamber 34 by means of air extraction or inflation, the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 must be easy to deform and easy to reset. Therefore, the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 is made of a flexible and elastic material, such as silicon glue, and has a thickness of 0.2-3 cm. The thickness of the deforming part 331 is preferably 0.2-0.5 cm.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, the negative pressure pump 40 is in communication with the sealed chamber 34. Specifically, the through hole 35 is provided at the front cover 31 or the rear cover 32, or the junction of the front cover 31 and the rear cover 32, and one path 41a of the tee valve 41 is in communication with the sealed chamber 34 through the through hole 35. A sealing ring 36 seals the through hole 35, thereby sealing the sealed chamber 34.

[0043] When the negative pressure pump 40 extracts air from the sealed chamber 34, the deforming part 331 of the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 is deformed in the direction of the sealed chamber 3 so as to reduce the volume of the sealed chamber 34, expand the volume of the lactation chamber 1, thereby forming a negative pressure in the lactation chamber 1, and stimulating the negative pressure effect on the breast formed by a suction action of infant and secret milk. When the solenoid valve 60 inflates to the sealed chamber 34, the deforming part 331 of the anti-counter-flow membrane 33 is deformed in the direction of the lactation chamber 1 so as to expand the volume of the sealed chamber 34and reduce the volume of the lactation chamber 1, thereby forming a positive pressure in the lactation chamber 1, the mill can flow out.
