Definitions
- the present invention relates to a manual breast pump for manually milking breast milk.
- a manual breast pump in which a user manually milks breast milk.
- a manual breast pump comprises a body, a hood connected to the body and applied to the breast, a diaphragm connected to the body and generating a negative pressure in a space inside the hood, and moves toward and away from the body And an operating handle for deforming the diaphragm.
- the arrangement of the handle relative to the body is generally fixed. That is, the handle reciprocates toward and away from the body with a fixed position relative to the body. Therefore, when the user applies the food to the breast when milking breast milk using a manual breast pump, the arrangement of the handle is necessarily determined. Then, the user may not be able to place the joint of the hand operating the steering wheel in the middle position. Therefore, there is room for improvement in that muscle strain is caused based on the repeated operation of the steering wheel.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a manual breast pump including a suction cup forming an internal suction chamber, a breast shield extended from the suction cup, and a manual operation lever provided on the suction cup.
- the manual operation lever is disposed at a plurality of positions with respect to the suction cup, and can be periodically operated at each of the plurality of positions to apply a negative pressure to the internal suction chamber. generate.
- the manual operation lever is rotatable relative to the suction cup.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a manual breast pump that can easily wash the site where breast milk contacts while reducing the muscle strain due to repeated operation of the handle. With the goal.

Equipped with A wall portion of the holding member is interposed between the main body casing and the base portion.
- the base portion rotates with the handle via the holding member with respect to the main body casing when the operating handle for deforming the diaphragm rotates with respect to the main body casing about the axis of the base portion. That is, the handle is connected to the base portion, and can rotate with respect to the main body casing around the axis of the base together with the base portion held by the main body casing via the holding member. Therefore, the user can freely adjust the position (angle) of the handle with respect to the body casing when placing the hood on the breast, and place the joint of the hand operating the handle at an intermediate position. This can reduce the muscle burden due to the repeated operation of the steering wheel.
- the base portion is provided as a member separate from the main body casing, and can be rotated relative to the main body casing while being held by the main body casing by the holding member. Therefore, a complicated rotation mechanism for rotating the handle, and a cylindrical or cup-shaped member having a wall portion with a sufficient height to surround the periphery of the space to which the negative pressure is applied are unnecessary. Therefore, the internal structure of the manual breast pump, such as a site where breast milk contacts, can be simplified. Thus, the user can easily wash the site where breast milk contacts by disassembling the main body casing and the base portion from each other.
- the main body casing is characterized by having a restricting portion which restricts the range of rotation of the base portion around the axis of the base portion.
- a main body casing has the control part which controls the range of rotation of the base part centering on the axis
- the holding member has a holding structure which protrudes from the surface of the wall toward either the main body casing or the base and supports the holding of the base against the main body casing.
- the holding member has the holding structure protruding from the surface of the wall of the holding member toward either the main casing or the base.

Therefore, the holding member can support the holding of the base portion with respect to the main body casing by the first protrusion and the second protrusion provided apart from each other. That is, the holding member can receive the force applied to the base based on the operation of the steering wheel by the first projection and the second projection provided apart from each other.
- the force based on the operation of the steering wheel is applied obliquely to the base portion connected to the steering wheel, detachment of the base portion from the main body casing can be more reliably suppressed.
- the holding structure further includes a third protrusion provided between the first protrusion and the second protrusion and extending in the circumferential direction of the wall.
- the third protrusion extending in the circumferential direction of the wall portion of the holding member is provided between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. Therefore, the third projection provided between the first projection and the second projection even when the force based on the steering wheel operation is applied obliquely to the base connected to the steering wheel. Can ensure sealing between the body casing and the base portion.

- one of the main body casing and the base portion provided with the holding member has the first support portion and the second support portion.
- the first support portion is provided at a position corresponding to the first protrusion and at a position opposite to the side where the first protrusion protrudes. Therefore, the first support portion can support the first protrusion from the back side in a state in which the wall portion of the holding member is sandwiched between the main body casing and the base portion.
- the second support portion is provided at a position corresponding to the second protrusion and at a position opposite to the side where the second protrusion protrudes.
- the second support portion can support the second protrusion from the back side in a state in which the wall portion of the holding member is sandwiched between the main body casing and the base portion.
- the holding power of the base portion with respect to the main body casing can be enhanced, and the sealability between the main body casing and the base portion can be enhanced.
- the length by which either one of the first support portion and the second support portion protrudes is longer than the length by which the other one of the first support portion and the second support portion protrudes. I assume.
- the length in which any one of the first support portion and the second support portion protrudes is longer than the length in which any other of the first support portion and the second support portion protrudes. That is, the protrusion length of the first support portion is different from the protrusion length of the second support portion. Therefore, it can suppress that the retention strength of the base part with respect to a main body casing becomes high excessively. Thereby, the decomposability of the main body casing and the base portion can be enhanced while maintaining the holding force of the base portion with respect to the main body casing.
- the holding member has a hook portion hooked on at least one of the first support portion and the second support portion.
- At least one of the first support portion and the second support portion is hooked on the hook portion provided on the holding member. Therefore, even when a relatively strong force is applied to the holding member, the holding member can be prevented from being detached from the base portion or the main body casing.
- the holding member has a bottom portion having a through hole that spatially connects the internal space and the communication portion, and a backflow preventing wall surrounding the through hole and extending outward from the bottom portion. It is characterized by having.
- the holding member has the backflow prevention wall.
- the backflow prevention wall surrounds the through hole provided at the bottom of the holding member and extends outward from the bottom. Therefore, milked milk can be prevented from being sucked along the wall and the bottom of the holding member from the through hole of the bottom toward the communicating part. In other words, the backflow prevention wall can suppress the flow of milked milk through the through hole in the bottom toward the communication portion (backflow).

- the diaphragm 34 is a negative pressure generating member for generating a negative pressure.
- the diaphragm 34 is connected to the upper portion of the base portion 32 and covers the communication portion S4.
- the diaphragm 34 is intricately bent to have a sheet shape similar to a relatively flat bottomed cylindrical body as a whole.
- the diaphragm 34 has a first wall portion 341 standing up on the outside, and a second wall portion 342 as an inner side wall portion whose upper end is integrally folded back inward.
- the first wall portion 341 has a rigidity enough to maintain the outer diameter.
- the thickness of the second wall 342 is thinner than the thickness of the first wall 341.
- the second wall portion 342 is provided as a deformation portion.
- the bottom surface portion 343 is connected to the lower end of the second wall portion 342.
- the bottom surface portion 343 is integrally formed with the second wall portion 342 as a relatively wide inner bottom portion, and extends from the second wall portion 342 toward the center so as to close the cylindrical lower portion. That is, the first wall 341 and the second wall 342 are formed of the same material. Then, in the first wall portion 341 and the second wall portion 342, mutually different rigidity is given by making the thicknesses of the materials different from each other. Therefore, when an external force due to the operation of the handle 5 acts on the diaphragm 34, the second wall 342 can be deformed even when an external force at a level at which the first wall 341 is not deformed is applied. .
- the diaphragm 34 is formed of a relatively flexible, flexible deformation material, that is, a synthetic resin having a hardness of about 30 to 70 according to JIS-K6253 (ISO 7619) according to an A-type durometer.

- the thickness of the lower end portion 344 is, for example, about 1.5 mm or more and 3.0 mm or less, similarly to the portion of the first wall portion 341.
- the diaphragm 34 When the diaphragm 34 receives the action of the operation of the handle 5, the second wall 342 as a deformation portion is deformed. Then, the volume of the space of the communication portion S4 formed between the bottom portion 343 and the base portion 32 changes. Thereby, the diaphragm 34 applies a certain amount of negative pressure to the communication portion S4. That is, due to the deformation of the diaphragm 34, the communicating portion S4 is in a negative pressure state. When the communication portion S4 is in a negative pressure state, the air in the first passage 312 is aspirated through the second passage 321, the through hole 335, and the internal space S3, and the breast milk is aspirated (milked).
- the diaphragm 34 of the present embodiment has a first wall portion 341 standing up. Therefore, even if the height of the base portion 32 is not very high, the diaphragm 34 can be sufficiently deformed above the base portion 32 to generate a required negative pressure in the communication portion S4.
- the coupling portion 35 is provided on the diaphragm 34 and is coupled to the handle 5 to deform the second wall 342 of the diaphragm 34.
- the coupling portion 35 is formed of a hard material harder than the material of the second wall portion 342 as the deformation portion. Examples of the material of the bonding portion 35 include synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polycarbonate, polycycloolefin, and polyether sulfone.

- the base portion 351 is disposed on the lower side (the communication portion S4 side) of the bottom surface portion 343.
- the coupling portion 35 has a coupling portion 352 which protrudes upward from the base portion 351 and axially extends.
- the connecting portion 352 is connected to the handle 5. Specifically, the connecting portion 352 is inserted into a through hole (a hole having a diameter smaller than that of the base portion 351) formed in the central portion of the bottom portion 343 of the diaphragm 34 and exposed to the upper side of the bottom portion 343
- the handle 5 is connectable.
- the base 351 pushes up the bottom portion 343 of the diaphragm 34.
- the second wall 342 of the diaphragm 34 significantly deforms the space of the communication portion S4.
- the base 351 of the present embodiment is disposed on the lower side of the bottom surface 343 of the diaphragm 34 without being connected to the bottom surface 343.
- the installation form of the base 351 is not limited to this.
- the base 351 may be fixed to the upper side of the bottom portion 343.
- connection portion 352 includes a first protrusion 353 and a second protrusion 354 arranged side by side in the extension direction Z of the connection portion 352.
- Each of the first protrusion 353 and the second protrusion 354 protrudes radially outward from the shaft portion of the connecting portion 352.
- a first engaging portion 355 is provided between the first projecting portion 353 and the second projecting portion 354.
- the first engagement portion 355 is a recessed portion (groove portion) between the first protrusion 353 and the second protrusion 354.
- a second engagement portion 356 is provided between the second projection 354 and the base 351.
- the second engagement portion 355 is a recessed portion (groove portion) between the second protrusion 354 and the base 351.
- the handle 5 is coupled to the coupling portion 352 by engaging with the first engagement portion 355 or the second engagement portion 356.
- the connection position in the extending direction Z of the handle 5 and the connection portion 352 can be changed. Therefore, the distance by which the handle 5 pulls the connecting portion 352 is made changeable. Thereby, the amount of deformation of the diaphragm 34 can be changed. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the first engagement portion 355 and the second engagement portion 356 are formed stepwise and separated from each other in the extending direction Z. Therefore, according to the engagement position of the handle 5 and the engaging portions 355 and 356, the distance by which the handle 5 pulls the connecting portion 352 can be changed stepwise.
- the handle 5 When the handle 5 engages with the first engagement portion 355, the distance by which the handle 5 pulls up the connection portion 352 is short as compared with the case where the handle 5 engages with the second engagement portion 356. Then, the volume change of the space of the communication portion S4 is relatively small. Thereby, the handle 5 and the diaphragm 34 generate a relatively low negative pressure in the communication portion S4, and return to the original state in a relatively short time (preparation mode). On the other hand, when the handle 5 engages with the second engagement portion 356, the distance by which the handle 5 pulls up the connecting portion 352 is longer than when the handle 5 engages with the first engagement portion 355. Then, the volume change of the space of the communication portion S4 is relatively large. Thereby, the handle 5 and the diaphragm 34 generate a relatively high negative pressure in the communication portion S4, and return to the original state in a relatively long time (milking mode).
- the handle 5 has an elongated shape and is formed of a relatively hard and lightweight synthetic resin as a whole.
- Examples of the material of the handle 5 include polypropylene, polycarbonate, polycycloolefin, polyether sulfone and the like.
