The invention relates to a protective
mask which comprises a
mask body, a
breather valve and a fixing band, and the fixing band and the
breather valve are both arranged on the
mask body. The breathervalve comprises a
valve seat, a valve element and a valve
deck, a
breathing cavity is formed between the valve
deck and the
valve seat, a first vent hole and a second vent hole are formed in the valvedeck and the
valve seat respectively, the valve element comprises a valve element body and a limiting boss, the valve element body is of a foldable and telescopic tubular structure, the two ends of the valve element body are connected with the valve seat and the limiting boss correspondingly, the limiting boss can be arranged in the first vent hole in a sliding mode, a sealing ring is arranged between the valve element body and the limiting boss, the
breather valve is in an inspiration state, the sealing ring seals the first vent hole, the breather valve is in an expiration state, the valve element body is compressed into the
breathing cavity, and the first vent hole, the
breathing cavity and the second vent hole are communicated. The technical problems that the protective mask is poor inprotective effect and large in respiratory resistance, a valve plate is prone to damage,
bacteria are prone to breeding after the mask is worn for a long time, and the disposable
filter element is high in cost are solved.
