A water purifier including a water discharge unit configured so that purified, cold, and hot water are selectably dischargeable therethrough, the water discharge unit including a rotatable body, a water discharge tube having a changeable position according to rotation of the body, and a display device including a first and a second light source, a light guide cover, and a guide case to guide light emitted from the first and second light source so as to be incident on the light guide cover, and to prevent mixing of the light from the first and the second light sources. The light guide cover projects the light from the first light source in a direction of water discharge from the water discharge tube, and projects the light from the second light source toward an outer peripheral surface of the display device to indicate which of purified, cold, and hot water is selected.

Water discharge unit and water purifier including same

A water discharge unit of a water purifier includes a body having a neck that is coupleable to a sink and/or workbench, a head longitudinally extending from the neck and having a water discharge opening at a lower side of a distal end of the head, at least one pipe extending through the neck and the head through which water provided by a water purifier body is flowable to be discharged through the water discharge opening, a water discharge valve inside the body to regulate water flowing through the at least one pipe, a water discharge mechanism coupled to an upper side of a proximal end of the head to control the water discharge valve, and a touch panel coupled to the upper side of the head and spaced apart from the water discharge mechanism, and configured to receive a touch input for controlling the water purifier body.

A water purifier including a raw water flow path, a first valve provided in a water purification path, a second valve provided in a wash water flow path, a purified water valve provided in a purified water supply tube, a flow sensor provided in a cooking water supply tube and sensing a flow amount of liquid flowing in the cooking water supply tube, a drainage valve provided in a drainage flow path branched from the cooking water supply tube and a controller for draining the liquid remaining in the cooking water supply tube, when a flow amount value sensed by the flow sensor for a preset period of time is less than or equal to a certain value, by controlling opening/closing of the purified water valve, the first valve, the second valve, and the drainage valve.

Water purifier and method for controlling water purifier

Provided is a water purifier capable of freely changing a water outlet position, the water purifier including a water purifier body, a water outlet unit connected to the water purifier body, and including a manipulator configured to control the water purifier body and a water outlet nozzle configured to supply clean water to an outside of the water purifier body in connection with the manipulator, and a rotating device provided between the water purifier body and the water outlet unit and configured to rotate the water outlet unit, wherein the rotating device includes a fixed bracket and a rotating bracket provided to rotate relative to the fixed bracket to rotate the water outlet unit.
