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.
Multifunctional Water Outlet Device
Provided is a multifunctional water outlet device. The multifunctional water outlet device includes a body, a filter assembly, and a water tank. The water tank includes a heat exchange element and a heating element arranged inside the water tank. A warm washing water is formed by a communication of a hot water generated by the heating element and the water outlet pipe. An instant heat assembly includes an expansion tank, a boiling water solenoid valve, an instant heater, a communication assembly, a drinking water interface, a first interface, a second interface, a third interface, and a clean water solenoid valve for switching on/off state of the interfaces and enabling the warm water and the boiled water to output from the same interface, reducing the arrangement and switch of the water path within the device, sampling the structure within the device, and greatly reducing the occupied space of the device.

BEVERAGE APPARATUS AND METHOD
A beverage apparatus and system is disclosed. The beverage apparatus is configurable to add flavors, minerals, vitamins, or other such additives to a source fluid, such as purified water, in response to a user's selection of settings, to provide a customized beverage. Advantageously, the beverage apparatus uses the purified water to cleanse the components that come into contact with the N additive as part of the preparation of each beverage and includes this cleansing wash as part of the beverage itself, thus providing a self-cleaning apparatus that does not require a separate drain.
Liquid dispensing device
Provided is a liquid dispensing device. The liquid dispensing device includes a cylinder body coupled to a sink and at least one nozzle coupled to the cylinder body. The at least one nozzle may include a first liquid discharge nozzle coupled to an upper region of the cylinder body to extend horizontally, the first liquid discharge nozzle being configured to supply a drinkable liquid, such as a purified liquid, a heated liquid, or a cooled liquid. The at least one nozzle may a second liquid discharge nozzle coupled to the cylinder body to extend horizontally, the second liquid discharge nozzle being positioned to be spaced apart from the first liquid discharge nozzle to supply a non-drinkable liquid, such as a sterilizing liquid containing hypochlorous acid or other additive.
System and method for controlling an operational status of a waste disposer
Systems and methods for controlling an operational status of a waste disposer are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a waste disposer assembly includes a waste disposer, a sprayer mechanism, and a switching system. The waste disposer is configured to be supported in relation to a sink. The sprayer mechanism is configured to be supportable in relation to the sink, is coupled at least indirectly to the sink by way of an extendable and retractable linkage, and includes an actuator mechanism that, upon being actuated, causes generation of a control signal. The switching system is supported in relation to the sink, is coupled at least indirectly to each of the sprayer mechanism and disposer, and is configured to operate so that, upon receiving the control signal from the actuator mechanism, a related signal is provided to the disposer causing the disposer to change or take on operational status.
