An operation panel attached to the surface of the main body and a coke from which water is extracted are provided, and the cup support is provided with a water purifier that is vertically moved by operation of the operation panel.

According to the present invention, by appropriately moving the cup stand up and down according to the height of the cup and allowing water to be extracted from the cock, the cup can be placed on the cup stand and receive water safely regardless of the height of the cup.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 shows a perspective view of a water purifier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the water purifier 100 is formed to be concave in front of the water purifier main body 110, the water purifier main body 110, and the cup accommodating part 120 in which the cup 1 is accommodated, the cup receiving part. Height measuring sensor 130 is installed on the side of the 120, the cup receiving bed 140, the cup is placed on the bottom of the cup receiving unit 120, the drain container 150 formed at the bottom of the cup support 140, It comprises a coke 160 for discharging the purified water by the operation of the button 162, and the operation panel 170. The cup pedestal 140 is installed on the drain 150, and is configured to be movable up and down together with the drain 150.

3A and 3B show the principle of operation as a side view of the water purifier 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the height measuring sensor 130 is installed to a side of the cup receiving unit 120 in a predetermined length. The height measuring sensor 130 may include an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, a laser sensor, and the like, and output an ultrasonic wave, an infrared ray, a laser, or the like to measure the height of the region reflected by the reflected signal. When the cup 1 is placed on the cup stand 140, the height sensor 130 measures the height h of the upper end of the cup 1 and sends the measured value to the controller 180. The controller 180 considers the case where the distance between the top of the cup 1 and the coke 160 is H to be optimal and controls the distance between the top of the cup 1 and the coke 160 to be H. That is, when h is greater than H, a signal is sent to the driving unit 190 to move the cup support 140 upward by h-H. On the contrary, when h is smaller than H, a signal is sent to the driving unit 190 to move the cup support 140 downward by H-h. The driving unit 180 moves the cup stand 140 up and down according to the signal of the controller 180. 3B illustrates a state in which the cup stand 140 is moved such that the distance between the top of the cup 10 and the cock 160 is H. FIG. H is stored as a preset value in the controller 180 and can be changed according to a product specification or a user's selection.

The cup stand 140 is moved up and down together with the drain container 150. The drain container 150 is mounted inside the main body 110 and may move up and down by the driving unit 190. The vertical movement of the sump container 150 may be made of a mechanical or hydraulic type such as a gear.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 allows water to be extracted from the coke 160 only when h and H are the same, and water is not extracted from the coke 160 when the cup support 140 needs to be moved up and down because h and H are different. To prevent it. For example, a solenoid valve (not shown) may be provided in the cock 160 to control the solenoid valve to open when h and H are the same, and to close the solenoid valve when h and H are different. When the solenoid valve is closed, water is not extracted from the coke 160 even when the button 162 is pressed. Therefore, since the distance between the upper end of the cup 1 and the coke 160 is not suitable or the button 162 is accidentally pressed while the cup 1 is moving, water is not extracted, so the water purifier can be safely used.

4 shows a perspective view of a water purifier 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The water purifier 100 according to the present embodiment has a cup stand height adjustment button on the operation panel 170 on the front of the water purifier body instead of the height measuring sensor 130 and the controller 180. When the user presses the "up" on the height adjustment button, the cup support 140 moves upward, and when the user presses "down", the cup support 140 moves downward. Therefore, the user can conveniently use the cup pedestal 140 to move up and down according to the height of the cup 1 to be used.

Meanwhile, although FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 have been described as separate embodiments, a water purifier having both configurations may be implemented. For example, by installing the automatic mode / manual mode button on the operation panel 170 on the front of the main body, when the automatic mode button is selected, the height of the cup stand 140 is automatically adjusted according to the measured value of the height measuring sensor 130. , When the manual mode button is selected, the height measuring sensor 130 does not operate and the vertical movement of the cup stand 140 is performed only according to the operation of the operation panel 170. If the height of the cup 1 exceeds the measuring range of the height measuring sensor 130, the height measuring sensor 130 or the controller 180 malfunctions due to a malfunction, or the like, the manual mode may be selected. There will be.
