[0002] Water heaters are currently common household appliances, and they are classified into electric water heaters and gas water heaters based on their heating source. Electric water heaters are widely used due to their ease of installation and relatively constant water temperature.

[0003] The main structure of an electric water heater includes an outer shell, an inner tank, and a mounting bracket. Referring to utility model patent publication number CN 201909449 U, the shape and size of the mounting bracket are predetermined based on the specific model of the water heater. The side of the mounting bracket that contacts the outer shell needs to have a curved surface that matches the outer shell. When there are many models of water heaters, different models of mounting brackets need to be customized for different sizes and shapes of water heaters, resulting in higher production costs.

The lower end of the upper bracket has a first folding plate connected to the upper end of the base plate, and the upper end of the lower bracket has a second folding plate connected to the lower end of the base plate. A push block is disposed between the first and second folding plates. The lower surface of the first folding plate has a first inclined surface that contacts the push block, and the upper surface of the second folding plate has a second inclined surface that contacts the push block. When the push block moves back and forth, it pushes against the first and second inclined surfaces, causing the upper and lower brackets to rotate simultaneously relative to the base plate. The base plate also has a manual drive mechanism capable of driving the push block to move back and forth.
