The present invention relates to a pump mounting structure of a water dispenser, such as a water purifier. The water dispenser according to the present invention includes at least one water tank and a pump mounted at the bottom of the water tank. The water tank has a plurality of pump fixing portions protruding upwardly from the bottom of the water tank, and a nipple is formed at the front end of each pump fixing portion. The pump is fixed to the pump fixing portions, with a pump mounting bracket of silicon resin or rubber being interposed therebetween. The pump mounting bracket is formed in a ring shape, and is provided with a pump seating hole at the center into which a portion of a housing of the pump is inserted. The pump mounting bracket has, on the outer periphery, a plurality of wing portions with a nipple insertion hole into which the nipple formed at the front end of each pump fixing portion is inserted. Therefore, since the pump is mounted on the pump fixing portions with the pump mounting bracket of the soft material, such as silicon resin or rubber, being interposed therebetween, the vibration and noise caused by the operation of the pump are absorbed and reduced by the pump mounting bracket, and the mounting and demounting of the pump are easily performed. |
