[0007] The bottom of the frame is provided with a rear flange;

[0008] It also includes an arc-shaped pressing plate, which is arranged at the bottom of the bottom decorative plate. A connecting ear is provided at the front end of the arc-shaped pressing plate, and a U-shaped notch is provided on the connecting ear. The U-shaped notch is clamped with the rear flange.

[0009] The frame is fixedly connected to the shell of the water heater, the front end of the arc-shaped pressure plate is clamped on the rear flange of the frame, and the rear end of the arc-shaped pressure plate is fixedly connected to the shell of the water heater with screws. The connection is firm and not easy to fall off. The bottom decorative panel can cover the exposed components and circuits at the bottom of the water heater, and the appearance is beautiful.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a flexible ferrule is sleeved in the U-shaped notch, and the U-shaped notch is interference-fitted with the rear flange through the flexible ferrule. The flexible ferrule can be deformed to fill the installation gap between the connecting ear and the rear flange, thereby strengthening the stability of the connection structure between the two and avoiding noise.

[0011] Preferably, the flexible ring is made of rubber, which is low in cost and convenient for cost saving and installation and replacement.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the connecting ear and the arc-shaped pressing plate are integrally injection-molded, and the rear portion of the arc-shaped pressing plate is screwed to the bottom decorative plate. The integral molding can enhance the structural strength of the arc-shaped pressing plate and further improve its stability.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a U-shaped notch is provided on the connecting ear of the arc-shaped pressure plate, a rubber ring is provided in the U-shaped notch, so that the arc-shaped pressure plate and the frame can be installed with interference fit, and the bottom decorative plate shields the exposed components and circuits at the bottom of the water heater, with beautiful appearance and stable structure.
