Abstract
A water purifier having a small size and compact internal structure and enabling a water discharge part through which water is extracted to be rotated, and a control method of a water purifier.
Claims20
A liquid purifier, comprising:
- a case including a front cover, side panels forming first and second side surfaces, and a top cover that connects the front cover and the side panels;
- at least one filter provided in the case and configured to purify a liquid that flows through the case;
- a rotator configured to rotate within the case;
- a liquid discharge arm that protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the rotator and includes a discharge nozzle through which the liquid is discharged;
- and
- a control panel provided above the rotator and configured to rotate on the top cover of the case, and configured to receive an input related to the discharge of the liquid through the discharge nozzle, wherein the control panel is configured to rotate in a same direction together with the liquid discharge arm when the liquid discharge arm is rotated, the liquid discharge arm is configured to be horizontally rotatable from the first side panel to the second side panel opposite the first side panel by the rotator, wherein the front cover is formed in a semicircular shape, and wherein the rotator is formed in a circular shape so as to rotate along an inner circumference of the front cover such that a uniform distance is maintained between the front cover and the discharge nozzle when the discharge nozzle is rotated.

A liquid purifier, comprising:
- a case including a front cover, side panels forming first and second side surfaces, and a top cover that connects the front cover and the side panels;
- at least one filter provided in the case and configured to purify a liquid that flows through the case;
- a liquid discharge arm configured to be horizontally rotatable about a vertical rotation axis defined in the case and including a discharge nozzle through which the liquid is discharged;
- and
- a control panel configured to be horizontally rotatable on the top cover of the case and configured to receive a control input related to the discharge of the liquid through the discharge nozzle, wherein the discharge arm is configured to be horizontally rotatable from a first side of the case to a second side opposite the first side, wherein the control panel is horizontally rotated in a same direction as the liquid discharge arm when the liquid discharge arm is horizontally rotated, wherein the front cover is formed in a semicircular shape, and wherein a uniform distance between the front cover and the discharge nozzle is maintained when the liquid discharge arm is rotated.
