[0018] It is preset that when the neck curvature of the patient is in the physiological natural curvature, the distance between the abutting block 1007 and the measuring plate 1005 is h and is stored in the main control console 7. According to the height of the patient's chin when lying prone, the two first telescopic rods 203 are driven to extend or shorten, and the chin support part 2 is adjusted to a suitable height. The patient's chin is placed in the concave surface of the first support table 201 provided with the first silica gel pad 204. The rotation motor 603 is started, and the rotation motor 603 drives the threaded transmission rod 601 to rotate, driving the moving block 5 and the forehead support part 3 to move, adjusting the distance between the chin support part 2 and the forehead support part 3, and moving the forehead support part 3 to a suitable position according to the position of the patient's forehead. The forehead is placed in the concave surface of the second support table 301 provided with the second silica gel pad 304. Subsequently, the cross bar 9 is rotated to drive the neck curvature measuring device 10 above the patient's neck. The measuring telescopic rod 1001 is driven to extend, and the bottom arc surface of the abutting block 1007 is pushed to abut against the patient's neck. Subsequently, the two second telescopic rods 303 are driven to extend or shorten, and the patient's back of the head pushes the measuring plate 1005 to slide along the guide rod 1003. The micro distance measuring instrument 1008 measures the distance between the abutting block 1007 and the measuring plate 1005 in real time and transmits it to the main control console 7. When the distance between the abutting block 1007 and the measuring plate 1005 reaches h, the main control console 7 drives the two second telescopic rods 303 to stop extending or shortening, so that the patient's neck maintains the natural curvature of the human body, avoiding neck soreness, stiffness, and paralysis caused by long-term surgery and improving comfort.
