The following description of the embodiments of the present utility model will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present utility model, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the utility model.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an adjustable angle foot structure of the present application includes a bolt 31, a locking assembly, and a base assembly. The upper end of the bolt 31 is screwed into the bottom of the electric appliance 2 and is fixedly connected with the electric appliance 2, and the bottom end of the bolt 31 is provided with a spherical structure 311. The bottom assembly is arranged around the spherical structure 311 and is rotatably connected to the spherical structure 311, the bottom surface of the bottom assembly being in contact with the ground 1. The locking assembly is screwed with the bolt 31. When the locking assembly is rotated into contact with the bottom assembly, the locking assembly locks the bottom assembly and the angle of the bottom assembly with respect to the bolt 31 is no longer changed. The angle-adjustable foot structure can automatically adapt to the angle of the ground 1 to adjust the inclination angle of the bottom assembly, and then the angle of the bottom assembly is locked through the locking assembly so as to form stable support for the electric appliance 2.

Further, the gasket nut 32 is connected to the bolt 31 in a screwed mode, the gasket nut 32 is located above the locking assembly, the gasket nut 32 is rotated upwards to be in contact with the bottom surface of the electric appliance 2, and the connection stability of the bolt 31 and the electric appliance 2 is enhanced.
