The negative pressure air pump is communicated with the cavity 1122 of each adsorption rod 1121, and is used for attaching the end of each flexible electrode 21 to the adsorption hole 1123 of the corresponding adsorption rod 1121 by the generated pneumatic force.
Wherein, the absorption rod 1121 functions to make a part of the end of the flexible electrode 21 fixed on the surface of the absorption rod 1121 by negative pressure absorption.
Preferably, the absorption rod 1121 is elongated in shape and has a length of 2 cm; further, the absorption rod 1121 may have a cylindrical shape, and the diameter of the absorption rod 1121 is preferably 5 mm, and the absorption rod 1121 may also have a prism shape, and the diameter of a circumscribed circle of the prism is about 5 mm.
Illustratively, after the absorption hole 1123 of the absorption rod 1121 is contacted with the end of the flexible electrode 21, a temporary sealed space is formed inside the absorption rod 1121, and air in the sealed space is pumped away by a negative pressure air pump to generate an internal and external pressure difference, so as to realize absorption and fixation of the flexible electrode 21. Wherein the sealed space refers to the cavity 1122 and the plurality of absorption holes 1123 of the absorption rod 1121, and the plurality of absorption holes 1123 are sealed by the flexible electrode 21.
According to the flexible electrode implanting device provided by the invention, the air in the adsorption rod 1121 is pumped away by the negative pressure air pump, so that the internal and external pressure difference is generated to realize the suction and placement of the flexible electrode 21, and the suction and placement mode is simpler and has good stability.

According to the flexible electrode implanting device provided by the invention, the adsorption rod 1121 is provided with the limiting groove 1124, so that the tail end of the adsorbed flexible electrode 21 is positioned in the limiting groove 1124, and the flexible electrode 21 is prevented from bending or sliding.
Further, the limiting groove 1124 on each of the absorbing rods 1121 is narrowed from the outside to the inside, so that the end of the flexible electrode 21 can be better absorbed in the limiting groove 1124.

According to the flexible electrode implanting device provided by the invention, the length of the limiting groove 1124 is limited to be greater than or equal to the preset length, so that the flexible electrode 21 can be effectively adsorbed, and the phenomenon that the flexible electrode 21 falls off due to insufficient adsorption force on the flexible electrode 21 because the limiting groove 1124 is too short and the part of the flexible electrode 21, which is tightly attached to the adsorption rod 1121, is too short is avoided.

Step 401, the implantation mechanism 12 controls the implantation needle 122 at the end thereof to make the tip of the implantation needle 122 pass through the end aperture of the i-th flexible electrode.
Preferably, the second motion mechanism controls the implantation needle 122 of the implantation mechanism 12 to approach in a trajectory to the vicinity of the ith flexible electrode tip.

Preferably, the end of the implanting mechanism 12 has a supporting rod, as shown in fig. 12, when the ith valve is closed and the ith flexible electrode is separated from the ith absorbing rod, the bent portion of the supporting rod can play a role of supporting the ith flexible electrode, so as to prevent the small end hole of the ith flexible electrode from sliding off the needle tip of the implanting needle 122.
