[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the circuit board support 1-1 may be provided with multiple sets of central support plates 1-3 for fixing multiple central circuit boards 4 at different heights in the middle of the circuit board support 1-1. The top end face of each set of central support plates 1-3 is located on the same plane. In this embodiment, the number of central circuit boards 4 is 1, and a set of central support plates 1-3 may be provided in the middle of the circuit board support 1-1.
