[0019] The technical scheme of the utility model will be further illustrated as follows by combining with the drawing and embodiment:

[0020] Reference Figs. 1-3 As shown in the utility model provides a kind of cervical collar for the patient to eat conveniently, comprising: front support board 1 and back support board 2, the front support board 1 is connected with back support board 2 by magic tape, the top of the front support board 1 is equipped with gap 3, the jaw support plate 4 is slidably arranged in the gap 3, and the jaw support plate 4 is fixed height by limiting pin 5.It is preferred that the jaw support plate 4 is plastic material, with certain deformation ability.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the two ends of the gap 3 are provided with a sliding groove 6, and the two ends of the jaw supporting plate 4 are provided with a sliding block 7 matched with the sliding groove 6. The top of the sliding block 7 is provided with a positioning hole 8, and the front supporting plate 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes 9 near the two ends of the jaw supporting plate 4. The through holes 9 are communicated with the sliding groove 6, and the relative height of the front supporting plate 1 and the jaw supporting plate 4 is adjusted by inserting and pulling the limiting pin 5. Preferably, the number of the through holes 9 is three. When the lower jaw of the patient needs to be supported, the positioning hole 8 of the sliding block 7 is aligned with the middle or upper through hole 9, and the positioning pin 5 is inserted to fix. Whether the middle through hole 9 is fixed or the upper through hole 9 is fixed can be selected according to the neck length of the patient, which improves the adaptability of the neck support. When the patient needs to eat, the jaw supporting plate 4 is slid downward, so as to achieve the effect of facilitating the patient to chew without disassembling the neck support.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the magic tape includes a male tape 10 and a female tape 11. The male tape 10 is fixed on the rear supporting plate 2, and the female tape 11 is fixed on the front supporting plate 1. The male tape 10 is matched with the female tape 11. The magic tape is used to adjust the distance between the front supporting plate 1 and the rear supporting plate 2, so that the neck support is maximally matched with the neck of the patient, and good support is provided for the cervical vertebra of the patient.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of air holes 12 are formed on the front supporting plate 1 and the rear supporting plate 2. The air holes 12 are used to improve the air permeability of the neck support, so as to improve the wearing comfort of the patient. More preferably, the gap between the front supporting plate 1 and the jaw supporting plate 4 further improves the air permeability of the neck support.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the limiting pin 5 is coated with a rubber layer. The rubber layer is used to increase the friction between the limiting pin 5 and the positioning hole 8, so as to prevent the limiting pin 5 from falling off and causing the jaw supporting plate 4 to move downward, which causes harm to the patient.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the inner side of the rear supporting plate 2 is coated with a sponge layer. The sponge layer is used to improve the comfort of the neck of the patient when the patient lies down.
