a detector provided on the backbone structure, the detector detecting body shape parameters input by the body shape parameter input module;
wherein a relative movement between the adjustment plate and the backbone structure is controlled by the girth adjustment mechanism to achieve precise adjustment of body shape girth parameters;
wherein the backbone structure is further provided with a length adjustment mechanism, the detector detects the body shape parameters input by the body shape parameter input module, and upward and downward movements of respective parts of the backbone structure are controlled by the length adjustment mechanism to achieve precise adjustment of length parameters;
wherein the backbone structure is further provided with a length adjustment mechanism, the detector detects the body shape parameters input by the body shape parameter input module, and upward and downward movements of respective parts of the backbone structure are controlled by the length adjustment mechanism to achieve precise adjustment of length parameters;
wherein the girth adjustment mechanism comprises a neck girth adjustment mechanism, a chest girth adjustment mechanism, a waist girth adjustment mechanism and a hip girth adjustment mechanism, and the adjustment plate comprises a neck girth adjustment plate, a chest girth adjustment plate, a waist girth adjustment plate and a hip girth adjustment plate;
wherein the neck girth adjustment plate is adjusted by the neck girth adjustment mechanism, a motor is provided in the neck girth adjustment mechanism, the motor drives a gear to rotate to move a rack up and down, and a threaded rod connected to the rack and the neck girth adjustment plate moves in a direction away from or approaching the backbone structure according to movements of the rack to achieve adjustment of neck girth parameters.

2. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein the body shape parameter input module comprises a piece of interactive software for driving the mannequin so as to guarantee precision.

3. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein four neck girth adjustment plates are provided at a neck position of the mannequin, two chest girth adjustment plates are provided at a chest position of the mannequin, two waist girth adjustment plates are provided at an abdomen position of the mannequin, and two hip girth adjustment plates are provided at the hip of the mannequin.

4. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein the chest girth adjustment plate is adjusted by the chest girth adjustment mechanism, a motor is provided in the chest girth adjustment mechanism, the motor drives a gear to rotate to move a rack outwardly or inwardly, and a threaded rod connected to the rack and the chest girth adjustment plate moves in a direction away from or approaching the backbone structure according to movements of the rack to achieve adjustment of chest girth parameters.

5. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein the waist girth adjustment plate is adjusted by the waist girth adjustment mechanism, a motor is provided in the waist girth adjustment mechanism, the motor drives a gear to rotate to move a rack outwardly or inwardly, and a threaded rod connected to the rack and the waist girth adjustment plate moves in a direction away from or approaching the backbone structure according to movements of the rack to achieve adjustment of waist girth parameters.

6. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein the hip girth adjustment plate is adjusted by the hip girth adjustment mechanism, a motor is provided in the hip girth adjustment mechanism, the motor drives a gear to rotate to move a rack outwardly or inwardly, and a threaded rod connected to the rack and the hip girth adjustment plate moves in a direction away from or approaching the backbone structure according to movements of the rack to achieve adjustment of hip girth parameters.

7. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein the length adjustment mechanism comprises a neck flange installed on the backbone structure and a neck support plate fixed on the neck flange, the neck adjustment mechanism and the neck girth adjustment plate are provided on the neck support plate, and the neck flange is moved upward or downward to make the neck support plate move upward or downward so as to adjust a length of the neck.

8. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein the length adjustment mechanism comprises a chest flange installed on the backbone structure and a chest support plate fixed on the chest flange, the chest adjustment mechanism and the chest girth adjustment plate are provided on the chest support plate, and the chest flange is moved upward or downward to make the chest support plate move upward or downward so as to adjust a length between the chest and the waist.

9. The intelligent adjustable mannequin according to claim 1 , wherein the length adjustment mechanism comprises a waist flange installed on the backbone structure and a waist support plate fixed on the waist flange, the waist adjustment mechanism and the waist girth adjustment plate are provided on the waist support plate, and the waist flange is moved upward or downward to make the waist support plate move upward or downward so as to adjust a length between the waist and the hip.
