[0074] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the top surface of the first rib 112 is lower than the first surface 13 of the strip body 100, and the top surface of the second rib 122 is lower than the second surface 14 of the strip body 100.

For example, Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the plurality of welding areas 101 formed on the bottom surface of the first groove 111 and the plurality of welding areas 101 formed on the top surface of the first rib 112 are respectively aligned in the transverse direction of the strip body 100.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the aforementioned burrs 101f can be formed by cutting, and the aforementioned plurality of welding areas 101 can be evenly spaced along the length direction of the strip-shaped body 100.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a support tube 1 is also disclosed, which is used to support a rubber body.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 13As shown, in one exemplary embodiment of the present application, the welding of the support tube 1 can be achieved by integral heating of the support tube 1 by ultrasonic waves or hot air. During the integral heating of the support tube 1, since the surface area of the welding zone 101 is increased, the welding zone 101 of the support tube 1 absorbs heat faster than other regions of the support tube 1 other than the welding zone 101, and thus the welding zone 101 of the support tube 1 melts first than other regions of the support tube 1 other than the welding zone 101. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the support tube 1 is melted and welded only at the welding zone 101, and not at other regions.

[0079] As shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the support tube 1 further comprises a pull strap 20 attached to one end of the support strip 10, so that the coiling of the support strip 10 can be released by pulling the pull strap 20. In this way, it is possible to extract and remove the support tube 1 from the rubber body by pulling the pull strap 20. Figures 1 to 13
