It is understood that the extension portion 12 is, for example, a telescopic hose, one end of the extension portion 12 is connected to the main body portion 11, and the other end is stretchable in a direction away from the main body portion 11 (i.e., in the X-axis direction in the drawing). The end of the extending portion 12 away from the main body 11 may be compressed in the direction of the main body 11 (i.e., in the direction opposite to the X-axis direction in the drawing) by an external force, so as to shorten the length of the extending portion 12 in the X-axis direction. It will be appreciated that by providing a stretchable and compressible extension 12, the mask 10 can be made to conform to the face of different animals.

The air inlet end 101 is used for taking air from the outside for the animals to inhale. The air inlet 101 is disposed on the main body 11 and located between the contact end 111 and the extension 12, that is, the contact end 111, the air inlet 101, and the extension 12 are disposed at intervals. Illustratively, the air inlet end 101 is arranged in a direction opposite to the direction of the Z axis in the drawing. In this embodiment, the air inlet 101 is also used for connecting the air inlet pipe 21. One end of the air inlet pipe 21 is connected with the mask 10, and the other end is connected with the air supply device 22. The gas supply device 22 is used to provide gas (e.g., oxygen) into the mask 10 for inhalation by the animal. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, only the air inlet 101 may be provided, i.e. the air inlet duct 21 and the air supply device 22 may be omitted, and the animal may inhale air directly through the air inlet 101.

The air outlet end 102 is disposed at an end of the extension portion 12 away from the main body portion 11. The gas outlet end 102 is connected to the component detector 40 through the gas outlet pipe 31.

The component detector 40 may include a plurality of sensor units (not shown) for detecting different gas contents, respectively. For example including for measuring CH₄、NH₃、H₂S、CO₂Etc. of the gas. The specific structure of the component detector 40 is not limited in this embodiment.

The flow meter 50 is disposed between the outlet end 102 and the constituent detector 40, for example, within the outlet pipe 31. The flow meter 50 is used for measuring the flow rate of the gas passing through the gas outlet end 102 and obtaining the current gas quantity. It will be appreciated that this current amount of gas is approximately equal to the amount of gas currently exhaled by the animal.

Referring to fig. 3, the controller 60 (see fig. 2) is electrically connected to the component detector 40 and the flow meter 50. The controller 60 is configured to compare the current gas amount with a preset gas amount threshold.
