[0028] Working principle: High-pressure gas enters the frame 1 through the high-pressure connector 2 and is introduced into the primary pressure reducing chamber 4 via the air inlet channel 3 for initial pressure reduction. The pressure reducing diaphragm 5 deforms under pressure, driving the first spring 7 to control the opening and closing of the sealing valve core 8, thus achieving pressure stabilization and regulation. The gas continues to enter the secondary pressure reducing chamber 9 for secondary pressure reduction, and then is stably output to the output interface 11 through the air outlet channel 10, finally supplying the user with air through the exhalation outlet 12. The secondary pressure reducing chamber 9 is equipped with a first support 13, a first frame 14, and an environmental pressure sensing chamber 15.
