[0027] As Figure 1-7 shown, the present utility model provides a breathing mask, including a mask body 1 and an air supply connection mechanism 10 arranged on the mask body 1. An annular contact surface 11 is arranged on one side of the mask body 1 that is worn on the patient's face. An annular pad 2 is arranged on the annular contact surface 11. The annular pad 2 is provided with an annular opening 20 along the circumferential direction. A flexible contact member 4 is detachably connected in the annular opening 20. A plurality of connection portions 40 are sequentially arranged on the flexible contact member 4. A plurality of connection assemblies 3 are arranged along the circumferential direction inside the annular opening 20. The connection portion 40 can be correspondingly connected to the connection assembly 3 to install the flexible contact member 4 in the annular opening 20. The connection assembly 3 includes an inflation adjustment member 30. An inflation interface 12 connected to the inflation adjustment member 30 is arranged on the mask body 1. The inflation adjustment member 30 accepts inflation or deflation from the inflation interface 12 and has an inflation state and a deflation state. In the inflation state, a part of the flexible contact member 4 extends out of the annular opening 20 to form an annular contact portion in contact with the patient's face. In the deflation state, the flexible contact member 4 is completely collected into the annular opening 20.

[0028] Specifically, an air supply connection mechanism 10 and a wearable member are provided on the mask body 1. The air supply connection mechanism 10 is connected to an oxygen delivery device to deliver oxygen into the mask body 1. The wearable member is used to wear the mask body 1 on the patient's face. This is the prior art and will not be elaborated. The side of the mask body 1 that is worn on the patient's face is the contact surface, and the shape of this contact surface is consistent with the shape of the patient's face, similar to a ring shape. For the convenience of description, it is called the annular contact surface 11. An annular pad 2 is provided on the annular contact surface 11. The shape of the annular pad 2 is consistent with the shape of the annular contact surface 11. The annular pad 2 is detachably installed on the annular contact surface 11. The annular pad 2 has elasticity. At the same time, an annular opening 20 is provided on the annular pad 2. The annular openings 20 are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the annular pad 2. A flexible contact member 4 is detachably provided in the annular opening 20.
