[0027] The utility model provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to help fully understand the various embodiments of the utility model as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to help understanding, but these details should be regarded as exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the utility model.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, descriptions of orientations, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., and orientations or positional relationships indicated are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0029] It will be understood that when one element (eg, a first element) is “connected” to another element (eg, a second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element or an intervening element (eg, a third element) may be present between the element and the other element.

[0030] The embodiment of the utility model provides a foldable bracket which is easy to disassemble and assemble. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the invention comprises two support frames 100 and two base frames 200, wherein the two support frames 100 are located between the two base frames 200, and the two support frames 100 can be respectively arranged at both ends of the base frames 200. The two support frames 100 are respectively rotatably connected to the two base frames 200, so that the two support frames 100 can rotate relative to the base frames 200. The support frames 100 include a support rod 110 extending in a vertical direction, and when the support frames 100 rotate relative to the base frames 200, the support rod 110 naturally rotates relative to the base frames 200.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the support rods 110 of the two support frames 100 can be rotated to vertically upwards, and the support rods 110 are in use at this time, and the upper ends of the support rods 110 are used to be detachably connected to the water heater body, so as to support and suspend the water heater body. Since the support rods 110 are detachably connected to the water heater body, the entire foldable bracket can be removed from the water heater body without being attached to the water heater body. Figure 3 As shown, when the support rods 110 of the two support frames 100 are rotated to a storage state of folding toward each other, the support rods 110 no longer protrude upward and can be placed horizontally, thereby greatly reducing space occupation. At the same time, the entire foldable bracket can be stacked and stored with the water heater body, or it can be stored independently without being restricted by being attached to the water heater body, which also helps to reduce space occupation.

[0032] In this embodiment, a sleeve may be provided on the water heater body, and the upper end of the support rod 110 may be inserted into the sleeve; or, a buckle groove may be provided on the water heater body, and a buckle matching the buckle groove may be provided on the upper end of the support rod 110, and the buckle may be snapped into the buckle groove; or, a hanging hole may be provided on the water heater body, and a hook may be provided on the upper end of the support rod 110, and the hook may be hooked in the hanging hole; or, a threaded hole may be provided on the water heater body, and a perforation may be provided on the upper end of the support rod 110, and a screw may pass through the perforation and be fixed in the threaded hole; the above methods can all realize the detachable connection between the support rod 110 and the water heater body. Of course, the support rod 110 and the water heater body can also be detachably connected in other ways.

[0033] In some embodiments, a locking mechanism is provided on the support frame 100, and a first matching mechanism matched with the locking mechanism is provided on the base frame 200. When the locking mechanism is locked and matched with the first matching mechanism, the support frame 100 can be restricted from rotating relative to the base frame 200, so that the support rod 110 remains in the use state to stably support the water heater body and reduce the risk of accidents such as the water heater body tipping over. When the locking mechanism is separated from the first matching mechanism, the support frame 100 can rotate relative to the base frame 200, and the support rod 110 can rotate to the storage state.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom frame 200 is also provided with a second matching mechanism adapted to the locking mechanism. When the locking mechanism is locked and matched with the second matching mechanism, the support frame 100 can also be restricted from rotating relative to the bottom frame 200, so that the support rod 110 remains in the storage state. When the user is carrying or storing, the support frame 100 will not rotate at will, which is convenient for the user. When the locking mechanism is separated from both the first matching mechanism and the second matching mechanism, the support frame 100 can rotate relative to the bottom frame 200, and the support rod 110 can rotate freely to the use state or the storage state.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 1-4As shown, a rotating hole is provided on the base frame 200, and the support frame 100 includes a rotating rod 120, and the two ends of the rotating rod 120 are respectively inserted into the rotating holes of the two base frames 200 and can move and rotate in the rotating holes. Specifically, the rotating rod 120 can move along the axial direction of the rotating hole and can also rotate around the axial direction of the rotating hole. The locking mechanism is a locking rod 140 vertically connected to the rotating rod 120, and the first matching mechanism and the second matching mechanism are respectively the first limiting groove 310 and the second limiting groove 320 on the base frame 200 that are connected to the rotating hole. The first limiting groove 310 and the second limiting groove 320 both extend along the axial direction of the rotating hole and are distributed along the circumference of the rotating hole, that is, the first limiting groove 310 and the second limiting groove 320 are staggered in the circumference of the rotating hole. The base frame 200 is also provided with a connecting groove 330 that is connected to the rotating hole and extends along the circumference of the rotating hole, and the two ends of the connecting groove 330 are respectively connected to the first limiting groove 310 and the second limiting groove 320.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, when the locking rod 140 moves to the first limiting groove 310, the locking rod 140 can move along the extension direction of the first limiting groove 310, but cannot rotate around the axial direction of the rotating hole, thereby limiting the rotation of the support frame 100 relative to the base frame 200. The locking mechanism and the first matching mechanism, i.e., the locking matching, keep the support rod 110 in use state.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, when the locking rod 140 moves to the second limiting groove 320, the locking rod 140 can move along the extension direction of the second limiting groove 320, but cannot rotate around the axial direction of the rotating hole, thereby limiting the rotation of the support frame 100 relative to the base frame 200. The locking mechanism locks with the second matching mechanism, so that the support rod 110 remains in the storage state.

[0038] When the locking rod 140 moves to the connecting groove 330, the locking rod 140 can rotate around the axial direction of the rotating hole, and the support frame 100 can rotate relative to the base frame 200 accordingly, and the locking mechanism is separated from both the first matching mechanism and the second matching mechanism. Of course, when the locking rod 140 rotates in the connecting groove 330, the locking rod 140 can move to the first limiting groove 310 or the second limiting groove 320, thereby switching the state of the support rod 110.

[0039] In some embodiments, the support frame 100 also includes a support plate 130, the rotating rod 120 is connected to the support rod 110, and the support plate 130 is respectively connected to the rotating rod 120 and the support rod 130 to strengthen the connection strength between the rotating rod 120 and the support rod 130, enhance the supporting force of the support rod 110, and make the support rod 110 not easy to bend or break, so as to stably support the water heater body.

[0040] In some embodiments, the rotation axes of the two support frames 100 and the chassis 200 are arranged in parallel. The support rods 110 of the two support frames 100 can be folded or unfolded towards each other, which is relatively more symmetrical and facilitates the design of the overall structure.

[0041] In some embodiments, the chassis 200 includes a first bottom rod 210 and two second bottom rods 220. The two second bottom rods 220 are respectively arranged at both ends of the first bottom rod 210 and are both connected to the first bottom rod 210. The two second bottom rods 220 of the chassis 200 are respectively rotatably connected to the two support frames 100. The second bottom rods 220 of the two chassis 200 extend towards each other. The entire chassis 200 can have a "U" - shaped structure, which makes the structure of the chassis 200 simpler, easier to manufacture, and also easier to store when the support rods 110 are in the stored state.

[0042] The rotation holes in the above - mentioned embodiments can be arranged at the ends of the second bottom rods 220, and the first limiting groove 310, the second limiting groove 320, and the connection groove 330 can be arranged on the surfaces of the second bottom rods 220.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first bottom rod 210 and the two second bottom rods 220 included in the chassis 200 are integrally connected, and can be specifically formed by bending a single rod, which is convenient for manufacturing and shaping.

[0044] An embodiment of the present utility model further provides a water heater, as Figure 5 shown, including a water heater body 400 and the detachable and foldable bracket of any of the above - mentioned embodiments. For the specific description of the detachable and foldable bracket, reference can be made to the above - mentioned embodiments, and details will not be repeated here. The support rods 110 of the two support frames 100 are all rotated to the use state, and the upper ends of the support rods 110 of the two support frames 100 are detachably connected to the water heater body 400. Thus, the water heater body 400 is supported and suspended by the support rods 110, and the two chassis 200 function as a base to maintain balance and prevent the water heater body 400 from tipping over.

[0045] When storage is required, the upper ends of the support rods 110 of the two support frames 100 are detached from the water heater body 400, and the entire detachable and foldable bracket is independent of the water heater body 400. As Figure 6 shown, the entire foldable bracket can be stacked and stored with the water heater body 400. At this time, the foldable bracket does not protrude from the water heater body 400, which can reduce space occupation. Of course, the entire foldable bracket can also be stored independently without being restricted by being attached to the water heater body.

[0046] In some embodiments, two vertically arranged sleeves 410 are fixed to the water heater body 400, the bottom of the sleeve 410 is open, and the upper ends of the support rods 110 of the two support frames 100 are inserted into the sleeves 410, so that the support rods 110 and the water heater body 400 are detachably connected. When disassembly is required, the support rods 110 can be pulled out of the sleeves 410.

[0047] In other embodiments, a buckle groove may be provided on the water heater body 400, and a buckle matching the buckle groove may be provided on the upper end of the support rod 110, and the buckle may be snapped into the buckle groove; or, a hanging hole may be provided on the water heater body 400, and a hook may be provided on the upper end of the support rod 110, and the hook is hooked in the hanging hole; or, a threaded hole may be provided on the water heater body 400, and a through hole may be provided on the upper end of the support rod 110, and a screw passes through the through hole and is fixed in the threaded hole; the above methods can all realize the detachable connection between the support rod 110 and the water heater body 400. Of course, the support rod 110 and the water heater body 400 can also be detachably connected in other ways.

[0048] The terms and words used in the above description and claims are not limited to the literal meanings, but are only used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the utility model. Therefore, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the above description of various embodiments of the utility model is provided only for illustration, and not for limiting the utility model as defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
