Claim 0:
1. A water dispensing device including a water ejection part installed to be at least partially exposed to the upper side of a sink and a main body part installed in a lower space of the sink, the water dispensing device comprising:
an inner member configured to be coupled to the sink and to extend in a vertical direction;
a first water ejection nozzle configured to be rotatably coupled to the upper side of the inner member, to extend in a horizontal direction, and to supply at least one drinking water selected from purified water, hot water, and cold water;
a second water ejection nozzle configured to be rotatably coupled to the inner member, to extend in the horizontal direction, to be disposed on the lower side of the first water ejection nozzle to be spaced therefrom, and supplying sterilizing water having a cleaning power;
a sterilizing water module configured to be installed inside the main body part and to generate sterilizing water having a cleaning power;
a sterilizing water valve configured to control the flow of water flowing into the sterilizing water module or to control the flow of water discharged from the sterilizing water module;
a sterilizing water pipe configured to connect the sterilizing water module and the second water ejection nozzle; and
a second water ejection valve configured to be installed on the sterilizing water pipe and to eject or drain the water flowing therein from the sterilizing water pipe to a second water ejection nozzle;
a drain pipe configured to be connected to the second water ejection valve to discharge water drained from the second water ejection valve; and a controller configured to control the operation of the sterilizing water module and the second water ejection valve;
wherein, when a command to eject sterilized water is input from the user, the controller is configured to supply power to the sterilized water module for sterilized water ejection and to control the sterilized water valve and the outlet of the second water ejection valve connected with the second water ejection nozzle to be opened.
