A pacifier 12 can be disposed at the opening 110 of the storing main body 1, thereby forming as the feeding bottle. A bottle cover 3 can be further provided at an outer side of the pacifier 12, and the bottle cover 3 can also be disposed on the storing main body 1 for sealing the opening 110, or be provided at the outer side of the pacifier 12.


The function module 2 is disposed at the bottom part 10 of the storing main body 1, and the function module 2 having different functions can be replaced or integrated. Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the function module 2 mainly has a carrying part 20, a fitting part 21 allowing the carrying part 20 to be assembled at the bottom part 10 of the storing main body 1, and a function member 22 disposed on the carrying part 20. Meanwhile, please refer to FIG. 5, an assembling hole 110 is formed at the bottom part 10 of the storing main body 1, a connecting part 101 is disposed in the assembling hole 110, a waterproof ring 102 used for sealing is disposed between the connecting part 101 and the assembling hole 100, and a connecting hole 101a allowing the carrying part 20 to be sealed is formed on the connecting part 101.


Based on what has been disclosed above, according to this embodiment of the present invention, the storing main body 1 has inner threads 101b in the connecting part 101, and the function module 2 has outer threads 210 at an outer side of the fitting part 21, so that the outer threads 210 of the fitting part 21 can be threaded and connected to the inner threads 101b of the connecting part 101 for being tight (tightly custom-character) in contact, thereby enabling the function module 2 to be assembled at the bottom part 10 of the storing main body 1, meanwhile the function module 2 can be properly detached for replacement according to actual needs. Moreover, an engaging part 30 is disposed on the bottle cover 3, and an engaging hole 211 is formed at a bottom end of the function module 2, the engaging hole 211 can be arranged at a lower portion of the fitting part 21. The engaging part 30 can be formed in a flower-like shape, and the engaging hole 211 having a matched shape can be engaged with the engaging part 30, so that the bottle cover 3 is able to rotate the function module 2 for being served as an auxiliary tool for detaching or assembling.


As such, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and as shown from FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the function member 22 of the function module 2 is an air valve which is used for providing anti-bloating function to the feeding bottle.
