It will be appreciated that the distance between adjacent support bars 101 of the support unit 10 is greater than or equal to at least 1 support bar 101 in width, so that the plurality of support bars 101 can be connected together by the reinforcing bars 102, and it is apparent that the integrity of the support assembly 1 is greatly enhanced. The support assembly 1 only comprises n support units 10, and when the support assembly 1 is assembled, the n support units 10 are spliced together, so that the assembly process is relatively simple.
It should be noted that, the distance between two adjacent support bars 101 of the same support unit 10 is:
H=nL+(n-1)D;
where n is the number of the support units 10, D is the width of the support bars 101, and L is the distance between two adjacent support bars 101 of the support assembly 1. It is understood that n is a positive integer.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the supporting bar 101 includes a supporting bar body 1011 and a connecting portion 1012, the connecting portion 1012 is disposed at two ends of the supporting bar body 1011 along a first direction, the connecting portion 1012 is used for being matched with a sliding rail, the connecting portion 1012 is cylindrical, and an axis of the connecting portion 1012 is not on the same straight line with an axis of the supporting bar body 1011. The connection portion 1012 and the support bar body 1011 are integrally formed, specifically by a liquid metal processing technique.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the number n of the supporting units 10 is 2, and the supporting assembly 1 may include two supporting units 10, each supporting unit 10 includes a plurality of supporting bars 101 and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 102, the plurality of supporting bars 101 are parallel to each other, one reinforcing rib 102 is disposed between every two adjacent supporting bars 101, and the reinforcing ribs 102 connect the two adjacent supporting bars 101 together.

In other words, the support assembly 1 comprises s support bars 101, s being equal to na, where n is equal to 2. The first supporting bar 101 and the third supporting bar 101 of the supporting assembly 1 are connected through the reinforcing rib 102 of one supporting unit 10, the second supporting bar 101 and the fourth supporting bar 101 of the supporting assembly 1 are connected … … through the reinforcing rib 102 of the other supporting unit 10, the s-3 supporting bar 101 and the s-1 supporting bar 101 of the supporting assembly 1 are connected through the reinforcing rib 102 of the first supporting unit 11, and the s-2 supporting bar 101 of the supporting assembly 1 are connected through the reinforcing rib 102 of the second supporting unit 12.
