[0025] Embodiment 2
[0026] As Figure 4As shown, on the basis of embodiment 1, the utility model provides a technical scheme: preferably, the connecting mechanism 4 still includes the mounting plate 9 fixedly installed at one end of the second connecting seat 8 away from the multimode integrated layer 2, the lower surface of the mounting plate 9 is equidistantly fixedly installed with several fixed seats 10, the lower surface of the fixed seat 10 is fixedly installed with the plug rod 11, and the bottom end of the plug rod 11 is installed with auxiliary structure.
[0027] In the embodiment, the mounting plate 9 provides a stable support basis for the plug rod 11, avoids stress concentration caused by direct contact of the plug rod 11 with the flexible base layer 1, the equidistantly distributed design of the fixed seat 10 uniformly disperses the stress of the plug rod 11, reduces the risk of local stress damage to the flexible base layer 1, the auxiliary structure is arranged at the bottom end of the plug rod 11, absorbs stress caused by dynamic bending or stretching through elastic deformation in the plugging process, reduces the modulus difference between the rigid plug rod 11 and the flexible base interface, the elastic support frame in the auxiliary structure cooperates with the clamping seat 13 to form a buffer layer when the plug rod 11 is pressed, prevents fatigue fracture of the root of the plug rod 11 due to repeated deformation, and thus the mechanical adaptability and environmental compatibility of the connecting mechanism 4 and the flexible base layer 1 are improved.
[0028] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 Preferably, the auxiliary structure includes a mounting groove 12 arranged at the bottom end of the plug rod 11, the inner symmetry of the mounting groove 12 is provided with a clamping seat 13, and the two clamping seats 13 are fixedly connected with the end of the plug rod 11, and the end of the two clamping seats 13 away from the plug rod 11 is provided with an elastic support frame 14, and the two ends of the elastic support frame 14 are respectively matched with the end of the two clamping seats 13 away from the plug rod 11.

[0030] Embodiment 3
[0031] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 On the basis of embodiment 1, the utility model provides a technical scheme: preferably, the fixed seat 10 is provided with an annular groove.
[0032] In the embodiment, the annular groove enhances the interface stress distribution capability between the fixed seat 10 and the flexible substrate layer 1 through structural design. In the dynamic bending or stretching scenario, the annular groove can absorb the concentrated stress transmitted by the plug rod 11 through deformation, reduce the rigid constraint at the connection between the root of the plug rod 11 and the fixed seat 10, and thus relieve the interface delamination risk caused by the modulus difference. The geometric characteristics of the annular groove make the stress evenly dispersed along the annular path, avoiding fatigue fracture caused by stress concentration. At the same time, the groove structure improves the mechanical adaptability between the fixed seat 10 and the flexible substrate layer 1, compensates for the displacement difference between the rigid plug rod and the flexible substrate layer 1 through local deformation, and ensures the stability of the electrical connection.

First, the material of the encapsulation seat 5 is consistent with that of the encapsulation and protection layer 3, eliminating the modulus mutation between the rigid plug rod 11 and the flexible substrate layer 1, making the stress distribution of the connecting mechanism 4 coordinated with the substrate deformation, avoiding stress concentration and interface delamination caused by modulus difference in dynamic bending or stretching. Second, the encapsulation seat 5 covers the outside of the connecting mechanism 4, forming a continuous protection interface, which not only blocks the erosion of the external environment to the plug rod 11 connection interface such as moisture and chemical corrosion, but also ensures the seamless combination between the encapsulation and protection layer 3 through material consistency, preventing the root of the plug rod 11 from breaking due to fatigue or environmental factors.
[0035] As shown in Figure 4 , preferably, the first connecting seat 7 is provided with plug-in holes equidistantly arranged for plug-in cooperation with the plug rod 11.
[0036] In the embodiment, by providing the equidistantly distributed plug-in hole structure on the first connecting seat 7, the plug rod 11 forms uniformly distributed mechanical contact points when inserted. The equidistant layout can disperse the local stress generated during the plug-in process, avoiding excessive pressure on a single contact point. The geometric cooperation relationship between the plug-in hole and the plug rod 11 is adapted through precision structure, allowing a moderate deformation coordination space between the flexible substrate layer 1 and the rigid plug rod 11 while ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0037] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 2 , preferably, the upper surface of the encapsulation and protection layer 3 is symmetrically provided with a reinforcing strip 6.
[0038] In the embodiment, the anti-deformation capability of the packaging and protection layer 3 is improved by arranging the reinforcing strips 6 symmetrically on the upper surface of the packaging and protection layer 3, the symmetric arrangement of the reinforcing strips 6 makes the stress evenly dispersed along the surface of the packaging and protection layer 3 during dynamic bending or stretching, reduces the interface delamination risk caused by local stress concentration, and the arrangement of the reinforcing strips 6 not only maintains the original flexibility of the packaging and protection layer 3, but also enhances the mechanical support strength of the connection area through symmetric reinforcement design.
