Further, when the assembled slide100is implemented, the head section13is located at a high position relative to the tail section15, and the first carrying portion131is placed below the first lapping portion141when assembled, so that the head section13and the connect section14are lapped to obtain a better assembly strength. Furthermore, the connect section14and the tail section15of the present invention are also assembled by using lap joint, that is, the second carrying portion142is placed below the second lapping portion151when assembled. Further, in one embodiment, the first carrying portion131comprises two first connect plates132respectively located at two sides of the head section first end, two first connect walls133respectively extending from one of the first connect plates132and serving as a part of one of the retaining walls12, and two first protrusions134respectively disposed on one of the first connect plates132and extending to one of the first connect walls133. Wherein the first connect plates132are disposed separately. Furthermore, the first lapping portion141comprises a second connect plate143connected to the two first connect plates132, and two first grooves144disposed on the second connect plate143and respectively assembled to one of the first protrusions134. The first protrusions134and the first grooves144are designed to achieve a corresponding structure of lap joint. In addition, in one embodiment, the second carrying portion142comprises two third connect plates145respectively located at two sides of the connect section second end, two second connect walls146respectively extending from one of the third connect plates145and serving as a part of one of the retaining walls12, and two second protrusions147respectively disposed on one of the third connect plates145and extending to one of the second connect walls146.
