The invention relates to the technical field of satellite folding hinges, and discloses a rigid-flexible multi-body non-smooth structure containing gap hinges, which comprises a satellite body, fixed connecting seats are arranged at the bottom ends of the left side and the right side of the satellite body, folding arms are rotatably connected to the inner sides of the fixed connecting seats, and each folding arm comprises an inner side arm and an outer side arm. Movable hinge blocks are rotatably arranged between the inner side arms and the outer side arms, the number of the inner side arms and the number of the outer side arms are both six, and a fixing shaft is arranged between every two adjacent folding arms. Through cooperation of structures such as a metal wire, a stirring piece, a top plate, a connecting stand column and a U-shaped groove, after the metal wire is pulled, the stirring piece rotates to enable the U-shaped groove to deflect and then pull the connecting stand column, so that the top plate d
