The flexible layer is used as an intermediary between the sensing layer and the outside, and the requirements on comfort or assembly performance can be met by changing the material or the structure of the flexible layer according to requirements.
In the invention, the raw material of the thread for clothes is not limited, and one or more of natural fiber thread, artificial fiber thread or synthetic fiber thread can be selected, the raw material of the protective layer can be selected to be a flexible high polymer layer, and the flexible layer can be selected to be a fabric layer.
