A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit coupled to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a fixed cover connected to the case and including a lifting gear provided on one side thereof and extending in an up-down direction and a guide bar provided on the other side thereof and extending in the up-down direction, a lifting cover movably accommodated inside the fixed cover, a lifting motor coupled to the lifting cover and configured to interwork with the lifting motor, and a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the lifting cover and configured to eject water. One side of the gear module is in contact with and supported by the lifting gear and the other side thereof is in contact with and supported by the guide bar.

Water ejecting apparatus

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit coupled to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a rotator seated inside at a front of the case, a first lifting cover coupled to one side of the rotator and allowing a lifting gear extending in an up-down direction to be fixed thereto, a second lifting cover movably accommodated inside the first lifting cover, a lifting motor coupled to the second lifting cover and configured to interwork with the lifting motor, and a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the second lifting cover and configured to eject water. A water ejection pipe having one end connected to the water ejection nozzle and the other end extending to an inside of the case is disposed in a lower space of the lifting motor and the gear module.

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit connected to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a fixed cover, a lifting cover, a lifting motor, a water ejection nozzle, a touch bar, a detection sensor, and a controller. The fixed cover is connected to the case. The lifting cover is movably received in the fixed cover and coupled to the lifting motor. The water ejection nozzle is installed at a lower end of the lifting cover and configured to eject water. The touch bar is at least partially received in the lifting cover and moves when in contact with a container placed below the water ejection nozzle. The detection sensor detects movement of the touch bar. The controller changes operation of the lifting motor when the detection sensor detects movement of the touch bar.

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit connected to the case. The water ejection unit includes a fixed cover connected to the case, having atop dead point and a bottom dead point, and including a lifting gear provided between the top dead point and the bottom dead point, a lifting cover movably coupled to the fixed cover, a lifting motor coupled to the lifting cover and a gear module interworking with the lifting motor and the lifting gear, a water ejection nozzle for ejecting water, a signal detecting unit that detects a frequency generation (FG) signal generated by the lifting motor during an operation of the lifting motor, and a controller configured to control the operation of the lifting motor upon determining that the lifting cover reaches the top dead point or the bottom dead point based on the FG signal.

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit coupled to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a first lifting cover connected to the case and allowing a lifting gear to be fixed thereto, a second lifting cover movably accommodated inside the first lifting cover, a lifting motor coupled to the second lifting cover and configured to interwork with the lifting motor, and a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the second lifting cover and configured to allow water to be ejected therethrough. The lifting gear has gear teeth is provided on one side thereof in an up-down direction and at least one reinforcing hole or reinforcing recess provided on the other side thereof.

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit connected to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a lifting cover configured to perform an elevating operation, a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the lifting cover and configured to eject water, a touch bar at least partially accommodated inside the lifting cover and configured to perform an ascending operation when in contact with a water receiving container placed below the water ejection nozzle, and extending from a point adjacent to the water ejection nozzle to a point adjacent to the front cover, and a detection sensor accommodated inside the lifting cover and configured to detect the ascending operation of the touch bar.

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit coupled to the case and at least partially protruding therefrom. The water ejection unit includes a fixed cover separably coupled to one side of the case and allowing a rack gear extending in a horizontal direction to be fixed thereto, a moving cover accommodated to be movable in the horizontal direction inside the fixed cover, a driving motor coupled to inside of the moving cover, a gear module configured to interwork with the driving motor, and a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the moving cover and configured to eject water, in which the moving cover appears or disappears, while moving from the inside of the fixed cover in the horizontal direction or moving to the outside form the inside of the fixed cover in the horizontal direction, when the driving motor operates.

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit coupled to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a rotator rotatably seated on an inner side of the front of the case, a first lifting cover coupled to one side of the rotator and allowing a lifting gear extending in an up-down direction to be fixed thereto, a second lifting cover movably accommodated inside the first lifting cover, a lifting motor coupled to the second lifting cover and configured to interwork with the lifting motor, a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the second lifting cover and configured to eject water, and a water ejection pipe having one end accommodated in the second lifting cover and connected to the water ejection nozzle and the other end extending to the inside of the case by way of the rotator.
