Referring to fig. 3, there is shown a schematic diagram of the ventilation process of a respirator mask of the present invention, wherein a first ventilation hole 6 which can be provided on the mask cushion assembly is opened towards the outside of the mask to allow the ventilation gas to be discharged, so as to prevent the ventilation gas from blowing to the face of the patient; further, since the exhaust hole opening to the outside of the mask is distant from the intake pipe 7 of the respirator, the noise of the mask exhaust can be reduced to some extent.
Mode 2, depending on the density of the material from which the mask cushion assembly is made, to achieve the discharge of the air flow. The material of the outer layer 3 of the pad is a fabric material, while the material of the pad filler 4 can be a soft elastic material with fine holes inside, such as foam, fabric and the like, and the fabric material and the soft elastic material have certain air permeability, so that the mask pad component can realize the function of the vent holes. Specifically, in order to meet the exhaust requirement, a manufacturing material with a preset sparse density may be adopted, that is, the function of the exhaust hole is realized by the manufacturing material with the sparse density, the manufacturing material with the sparse density is placed at the preset position, and for other positions except the preset position, the manufacturing material with the dense density may be adopted.
Mode 3, a preset distribution of coating can be arranged on the outer layer of the liner to realize the discharge of the air flow.

Moreover, the soft elastic material adopted by the cushion filling in the embodiment of the invention is softer and has better elasticity, so that the mask cushion component can be more easily attached to the face of a patient, and has wider application range and higher comfort for different face shapes of the patient.
Moreover, in the existing scheme, the mask liner made of silica gel materials needs to be provided with exhaust holes on the mask frame and the elbow pipe so as to meet the exhaust requirement; the outer layer of the pad in the embodiment of the invention is made of a fabric material, the pad can be filled with a soft elastic material with fine holes inside, such as foam, fabric and the like, and the fabric material and the soft elastic material have certain air permeability, so that the mask pad component can realize the function of the vent holes, and the process cost required by the arrangement of the vent holes can be saved.
Additionally, embodiments of the present invention utilize a cushion stiffener made of a stiff material that allows the mask cushion assembly to be shaped to maintain a pre-set shape of the mask cushion assembly through the cushion stiffener.
In addition, the forming process of the silica gel material is complex, so that the manufacturing difficulty of the existing mask cushion is higher, the mask cushion component of the embodiment of the invention can be manufactured by adopting a fabric material, a soft elastic material and a hardness material, the fabric material and the soft elastic material can be manufactured without a corresponding forming process, in addition, the cushion hard liner manufactured by adopting the hardness material can be used for keeping the preset shape of the mask cushion component, and in practical application, the manufacturing process of the mask cushion component can be simplified by adopting a proper hardness material such as hard plastic, hard thermoplastic elastomer or hard polyurethane.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a manufacturing method of the mask liner component, so that the mask liner component is manufactured by a simpler process.
Referring to fig. 7, a flow chart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method of making a mask cushion assembly of the present invention may include the following steps:
701, manufacturing a liner outer layer with a cavity structure by adopting a fabric material; the outer liner layer may include: the mask comprises a contact part matched with the contour of the face of a patient and a connecting part connected with the mask main frame, wherein a closed cavity structure is formed between the contact part and the connecting part;
alternatively, the outer layer of the cushion having the cavity structure may be made for a fabric material such as cotton, wool, hemp and polyester by a process such as sewing. In addition, the specific size and shape of the outer layer of the pad can be determined according to the requirements of the practical application, and the specific manufacturing process of the outer layer of the pad is not limited by the embodiment of the invention.
Step 702, manufacturing a liner by using a soft elastic material for filling;
in practice, the padding can be made for soft elastic materials such as soft silicone, soft TPE or soft polyurethane using a process such as die cutting. The specific size and shape of the pad padding can be determined according to the actual application requirements, so that the pad padding is assembled into the pad outer layer, and the tightness and comfort degree of face fitting can be realized through the pad padding.
703, manufacturing a liner hard lining by adopting a hard material;
in practice, the padding can be made for hard materials such as hard plastics, hard thermoplastic elastomers or hard polyurethanes using processes such as vulcanization. Wherein the specific size and shape of the cushion stiffener may be determined according to actual application requirements, for example, the preset shape of the mask cushion assembly may be determined according to the preset face shape (e.g., round face, square face, oval face, etc.) and/or the preset nose bridge height of the patient, and the preset shape may be adapted to the preset face shape and/or the preset nose bridge height to maintain the preset shape of the mask cushion assembly through the cushion stiffener, it is understood that the specific manufacturing process of the cushion stiffener is not limited by the embodiments of the present invention.

Step 704, assembling the cushion fill and the cushion stiffener within the cavity structure, respectively, to obtain an assembled mask cushion assembly.
The order of assembly of the pad padding and the pad stiffener may be in any order, such as sequential, etc., or, after the pad padding and the pad stiffener are assembled in sequence, the pad padding continues to be padded to adjust the mask pad assembly, etc.
In practice, the connection between the padding and the outer layer of the padding can be varied. In this way, the pad filler may be directly incorporated into the outer pad layer, or an adhesive may be incorporated between the pad filler and the outer pad layer to effect bonding between the pad filler and the outer pad layer.
In practice, the connection between the rigid liner and the outer layer of the liner may be varied. Thus, the gasket stiffener can be assembled by means of bonding, hot-press bonding, or the like. For example, an adhesive may be incorporated between the backing stiffener and the outer layer of the backing to effect bonding between the backing stiffener and the outer layer of the backing.
