[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment of the utility model proposes a foot support assembly that is easy to install, including a base 1 and at least three supporting feet 2. At least three mounting grooves 11 are provided on the base 1. One end of each supporting foot 2 is snapped into any mounting groove 11, and the other end of each supporting foot 2 is used to abut the supporting surface. There is no need to distinguish between front, back, left, and right, and there is no need to distinguish according to different installation positions. It can be arbitrarily matched to improve the convenience during installation. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of supporting feet 2 and mounting grooves 11 are both four.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The supporting foot 2 includes a supporting column 21, a connecting column 22 and a fixing foot 23. The upper end of the connecting column 22 is inserted into and fixed in the mounting groove 11, the lower end of the connecting column 22 is connected to the supporting column 21, and the lower end of the supporting column 21 is connected to the fixing foot 23. The lower end of the fixing foot 23 is semicircular in shape for easy placement, wherein the connecting column 22 is arranged along the vertical direction, and the vertical direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The supporting column 21 is inclined outwardly relative to the connecting column 22. When the base 1 and the supporting foot 2 are installed, it is more stable to place it on the ground to avoid tipping over. An anti-slip pad can be provided at the bottom of the supporting foot 2 to increase the friction between the placement surface.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The connecting column 22 is processed by removing the glue to form a plurality of open grooves, thereby reducing the thickness of the connecting column 22, reducing the waste of material, enhancing the strength of the connecting column 22, and facilitating injection molding.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A slot 211 is provided on the support column 21, a mounting seat 212 is provided on the bottom wall of the slot 211, an insert block 221 is provided on the connecting column 22, an opening 222 is provided in the insert block 221, a connecting block 223 is provided in the opening 222, the insert block 221 is inserted into the slot 211, and the connecting block 223 is inserted into the mounting seat 212, so that the connection between the connecting column 22 and the supporting column 21 is more stable.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 A bayonet 12 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 11, and a block 224 is provided on the connecting column 22. When the block 224 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, the bayonet 12 undergoes elastic deformation, and the bayonet 12 is engaged with the block 224, thereby achieving the connection and fixation between the supporting foot 2 and the base 1. In some other embodiments, the block 224 undergoes elastic deformation and returns to its original state after being inserted into the bayonet 12.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The foot support assembly for easy installation also includes a connecting member 3. A first mounting opening 13 is opened on the top wall of the mounting groove 11, and a second mounting opening 225 is opened on the upper end of the connecting column 22. The connecting member 3 passes through the first mounting opening 13 and is connected with the second mounting opening 225, so that the connection between the supporting foot 2 and the base 1 is more stable, wherein the connecting member 3 is a fastening structure such as screws and bolts.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The clamping block 224 includes a guide portion 2241 , one end of the guide portion 2241 forms a clamping portion 2242 , and when the clamping block 224 is inserted into the mounting groove 11 , the clamping portion 2242 is clamped with the bayonet 12 .

[0040] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The base 1 includes a groove body 14 with an opening on the side wall and a mounting plate 15. The mounting plate 15 is connected to the opening of the groove body 14 to form a mounting groove 11. The lower end of the mounting plate 15 is connected to the opening of the groove body 14. The upper end of the mounting plate 15 and the opening of the groove body 14 form a gap 16. The length of the mounting plate 15 is less than the length of the opening of the groove body 14, so that the top wall of the mounting plate 15 and the opening of the groove body 14 form a bayonet 12.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The mounting plate 15 includes a guide plate 153 and an abutment plate 154. The upper end of the guide plate 153 is connected to the lower end of the abutment plate 154. The guide plate 153 is connected to the lower end of the opening of the slot body 14. The abutment plate 154 and the upper end of the opening of the slot body 14 form a gap 16. The top wall of the abutment plate 154 and the opening of the slot body 14 form a bayonet 12.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 A guide groove 151 is provided on the guide plate 153, and the guide portion 2241 is inserted into the guide groove 151. The installation direction of the guide portion 2241 is limited by the guide groove 151, which is convenient for the user to install according to the direction of the guide groove 151. The clamping portion 2242 is clamped into the bayonet 12 along the gap 16, and the clamping portion 2242 abuts against the top wall of the abutting plate 154.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 The guide portion 2241 is provided with an avoidance groove 2243 , which is inclined. One end of the abutment plate 154 protrudes to form an inclined portion 152 , which is inserted into the avoidance groove 2243 , and the clamping portion 2242 abuts against the top wall of the inclined portion 152 .

[0044] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
