The electric breast pump is a device that simulates the sucking action of a baby and helps mothers easily squeeze out milk. It is widely used for breastfeeding mothers, especially in situations such as going out, insufficient milk supply, and the inability of babies to suck directly. The electric breast pump has become an effective tool for solving problems. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the working principle of the electric breast pump.

The basic structure of an electric breast pump mainly includes four parts: the pump body, nipple, breast pump, and control system.

1. Breast pump body: The breast pump body is the core part of an electric breast pump, usually composed of a transparent plastic cylinder and a pump head connected to an electric motor. There is a suction cup inside the pump that resembles a pacifier, used to stick to the breast and simulate the sucking action of a baby.

2. Nipple: A nipple is the part that connects the pump body of the breast pump to the baby's lips, playing a role in transmitting milk. The shape and size of the pacifier should be selected based on the baby's age and sucking ability.

3. Breast pump: The breast pump is the power part of the electric breast pump, which generates negative pressure through the electric motor, allowing the milk inside the pump to be sucked out. The power, frequency, and suction of the breast pump can be adjusted according to the mother's milk production and comfort.

4. Control system: The control system is the operating part of the electric breast pump, usually including switches, timers, speed regulators, etc. Through the control system, mothers can adjust the working status of the breast pump according to their own needs.

The working principle of an electric breast pump mainly relies on the negative pressure generated by the electric motor to suck out the milk inside the pump body. The specific work process is as follows:

1. The mother tightly attaches the pump body of the breast pump to the breast, so that the suction cup inside the pump body is tightly attached to the breast.

2. Open the control system and the motor starts working, generating negative pressure. Negative pressure is transmitted to the pump body through the breast pump, causing the milk inside the pump body to be sucked out.

3. After the milk is sucked out, it is transmitted to the baby's lips through a pacifier to achieve feeding.

4. Mom can adjust the working status of the breast pump as needed, such as suction force, frequency, etc., to achieve the best breast pumping effect.

After use, the mother can clean and disinfect the pump body and nipple of the breast pump to ensure hygiene.

In short, the electric breast pump simulates the baby's sucking action and utilizes the negative pressure generated by the electric motor to help mothers easily squeeze out milk. It has the advantages of convenience, efficiency, and comfort, making it a powerful assistant for breastfeeding mothers. When choosing an electric breast pump, mothers should choose the appropriate model and brand based on their own needs and budget. Meanwhile, pay attention to hygiene and maintenance during use to ensure the performance and lifespan of the electric breast pump.
