[0040] The first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32 are both folded toward the same side of the support plate 33, or the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32 are folded toward the two sides of the support plate 33, that is, the folding directions of the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32 are opposite. An angle may be formed between the first connection portion 31 and the support plate 33, and an angle may be formed between the second connection portion 32 and the support plate 33.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 The bracket body 21 is provided with a clamping portion 211, and the first connecting portion 31 is clamped with the clamping portion 211. The first connecting portion 31 and the bracket body 21 are fixed by clamping, which can make the fixing method of the support member 3 and the bracket body 21 simpler.

The FPC sampling strip 10 is suitable for bending along the first supporting rib 2121 and being attached to the inner side 212 and the first supporting rib 2121. The stepped design of the bracket body 21 can avoid the long-distance linear arrangement of the FPC sampling strip 10, so that the fixation of the FPC sampling strip 10 is more reliable.

[0044] For example, a first connection hole is provided on the bracket body 21, and a second connection hole 11 is provided on the FPC sampling strip 10. The number of the first connection holes and the second connection holes 11 are equal and correspond one to one. Rivets can be used to penetrate the first connection holes and the second connection holes 11 to fix the FPC sampling strip 10 to the bracket body 21.
