1. An elastic buckling element, being arranged on a supporting surface, the elastic buckling element comprising:
a base comprising a bearing surface, the bearing surface defining a horizontal direction parallel to the bearing surface and a vertical direction perpendicular to the bearing surface; and
an elastic buckling portion, wherein one end of the elastic buckling portion is fixed on the bearing surface of the base, the elastic buckling portion and the base have a first height relative to the supporting surface in the vertical direction, and the elastic buckling portion is arranged along the horizontal direction and has a horizontal extension length relative to the base in the horizontal direction, wherein the horizontal extension length is greater than the first height,
wherein the elastic buckling portion has a first elastic arm, a curved portion and a second elastic arm, the first elastic arm is connected to the base, and the curved portion is located between the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm to form a U-shaped elastic arm.
