In addition, the second mounting groove 224 may be formed to be spaced apart from the position where the first mounting groove 223 is formed.

In this case, unlike the support frame 220 of FIG. 5, the first frame and the second frame are formed, and there is no structure formed to be extended after being bent to be positioned at different heights, thereby forming a rib for supporting a load due to deformation. No such configuration is necessary.

The hot water tank 240 may be mounted on the lower portion of the support frame 220. A support part 223 may be extended to one side of the bottom surface of the support frame 220 so as to face downward. The support 223 will be coupled to the fastening member 241 installed on the upper surface of the hot water tank 240 to support the load of the hot water tank 240.

That is, the lower portion of the support frame 220 is coupled to the fastening member 241 of the hot water tank 240, the support portion 223 extending downward from the bottom portion, so that the hot water tank 240 is not inclined to maintain the balance This will enable smooth load support. The support portion 223 may be preferably made to extend further than the bottom surface portion of the first mounting groove 223.

One end of the fastening member 241 installed on the upper side of the hot water tank 240 to support the hot water tank 240 may be formed to be bent into an'A' shape, and the support part 223 has a fastening member 241 It can be made in the shape of a'b' to be mounted. The support 223 and the fastening member 241 may be coupled to each other through screw fastening.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the support 223 and the fastening member 241 may be formed in plural, and as described above for stable support of the hot water tank 240, the support 223 and the fastening member 241 ) Is preferably made of at least three or more.

In addition, although not shown in the drawings, as previously described in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the cold water tank (not shown) may be inserted and mounted toward the first mounting groove 223, in this case, the The outlet (not shown) formed to protrude on one side of the outer surface of the cold water tank (not shown) can be supported by the guide portion 223a formed on the outer surface of the first mounting groove 223.

That is, the outlet (not shown) formed protruding on one side of the cold water tank (not shown) is inserted into the guide portion 223a formed in the support frame 220, and then has a structure fitted to the outlet hole for the cold water tank ( With the stable support of not shown), an assembly process according to the setting of the assembly direction may be easily obtained.

What has been described above is only the embodiments for carrying out the water purifier according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and is within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the following claims. Anyone who has ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention pertains will have the technical idea of the present invention to the extent that various changes can be implemented.
