[0034] The inner recessed hexagonal frame 2 is a laterally symmetrical inner recessed hexagon, and there are two inner recessed hexagonal frames 2, which are arranged intersecting each other to form an outer frame of the unit cell.

[0035] The elliptical ring 3 has two, and the two elliptical rings 3 are the same in shape and size, arranged in the outer frame formed by the two inner recessed hexagonal frames 2, and the two elliptical rings 3 are arranged tangentially between them. The elliptical ring 3 has an elliptical short axis in the vertical direction.

[0036] The bottom edge of the inner recessed hexagonal frame 2 is arranged parallel to the bottom plate 1.

[0037] More specifically, the concave hexagonal frame 2 and the elliptical ring 3 are both centrally symmetrical structures. The concave hexagonal frame 2 and the elliptical ring 3 are arranged in two rows vertically and in multiple rows symmetrically arranged in all directions. The concave hexagonal frame 2 is ∑-shaped laterally. Two concave hexagons 2 intersect in a cross shape. Every two elliptical rings 3 form a group of intersections. The two groups are connected vertically at the center of the two concave hexagons.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inward bending angle 4 of the concave hexagonal frame 2 is 60°, and the entire unit cell can be considered as two sets of concave hexagons 2 and four sets of elliptical rings 3 intersecting and connecting.
