DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a system for water dispensation and particularly to a system and method for water dispensation with multiple configurations.
BACKGROUND
Conventional water dispensers typically consist of fixed plumbing arrangements that limit their functionality and adaptability. These systems usually have predefined piping configurations that cannot be easily modified or adjusted according to individual requirements. As a result, users are often constrained by the design limitations of the dispenser, which can limit their ability to access water conveniently or tailor the system to their preferences. There have been attempts to address this issue by introducing dispensers with detachable or adjustable parts. For instance, some water dispensers incorporate interchangeable nozzles or faucet attachments to accommodate different bottle sizes or types. While these solutions provide some degree of adaptability, they fail to address the fundamental limitation of fixed plumbing systems. Therefore, there is a need for an improved water dispenser system that overcomes the limitations of existing designs and allows users to configure the piping system according to their specific requirements. Such a system would enable users to customize the dispenser's layout, accommodate different water sources, connect multiple dispensers, or integrate other accessories with ease. The Water Dispenser, in general, dispenses water in three ways that is Cold, Hot and Normal (Ambient Temperature). So, for dispensing water, the outlet can be of two types. One is the three-outlet system corresponding to three types of water (also called as three in – three out), and second is the single outlet system (also called as three in – one out). So during the manufacturing of water dispenser, based on the configuration required, the facia, piping system and taps are changed which decreases the manufacturing output. This is because the manufacturing of facia is done by plastic injection moulding. And changing the mould from one configuration to another configuration takes more than a day.
CN105962788A discloses the invention discloses a valve assembly and a water dispenser. The valve assembly comprises an installing base, a plurality of water inlets, and a water outlet are formed in the installing base, the multiple water inlets are communicated with the water outlet through a connecting channel, and valves are arranged between all the water inlets and the water outlet. By means of the valve assembly and the water dispenser in the technical scheme, the structure and an internal connecting pipe of the water dispenser can be simplified.
The existing invention does not provide ease of manufacturing the three-in-one-out system and three-in-three-out system. therefore, there is a need for an improved system to provide a water dispenser system that can work for both the three-in-one-out system and the three-in-three-out system.

OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the present invention is to design & develop a water dispenser piping system that can change from one configuration to another configuration.
Another objective of the present invention is to interchange configuration “three in –three out” system to a “three in –one out” system and vice versa through plumbing/piping mechanism keeping the other parts common.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to design & develop a water dispenser that eases stock management during the manufacturing process by keeping the dispensing mechanism for both configurations as same so that the parts can be interchanged.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to design & develop a water dispenser that eases stock management for servicing by keeping the dispensing mechanism for both configurations as same so that the parts can be interchanged.

Yet another objective of the present invention is to increase the efficiency of the servicing of the water dispenser.
Further objectives, advantages, and features of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided herein below, in which various embodiments of the disclosed invention are illustrated by way of example.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a water dispenser system with multiple configurations. The system of the present invention includes a dispensing mechanism one, a dispensing mechanism two, a dispensing mechanism three, a pipe manifold system, an outlet pipe, a facia, a storage tank one and a storage tank two. Herein the dispensing mechanism one includes an internal tap one, a tap lever one, a tap one button and a tap shaft one. The internal tap one acts as a valve for opening and closing of flow of water from the storage tank one. The tap lever one is coupled to the internal tap one thus controlling the opening and closing of the internal tap one. The tap one button is connected to the tap shaft one, that is used to transfer the motion of the tap one button to the tap lever one. The tap lever one uses this motion to lift and push down the valve in the internal tap one thus helping opening and closing of the internal tap one. Herein the dispensing mechanism two includes an internal tap two, a tap lever two, a tap two button, and a tap shaft two. The internal tap two acts as a valve for opening and closing of the flow of water from the storage tank one. The tap lever two is coupled to the internal tap two thus controlling the opening and closing of the internal tap two. The tap two button is connected to the tap shaft two, that is used to transfer the motion of the tap two button to the tap lever two. The tap lever two uses this motion to lift and push down the valve in the internal tap two thus helping opening and closing of the internal tap two. Herein the dispensing mechanism three includes an internal tap three, a tap lever three, a tap three button, a tap shaft three and a child lock. The internal tap three acts as a valve for opening and closing of flow of water from the storage tank two. The tap lever three is coupled to the internal tap three thus controlling the opening and closing of the internal tap three. The tap three button is connected to the tap shaft three, that is used to transfer the motion of the tap three button to the tap lever three. The tap lever three uses this motion to lift and push down the valve in the internal tap three thus helping opening and closing of the internal tap three. The child lock is attached between the internal tap three and the tap shaft three in order to prevent hot water from spilling accidentally on the hand. Herein, dispensing mechanism one, the dispensing mechanism two and the dispensing mechanism three are same for a three-in-one-out piping system and a three-in-three-out piping system, where the difference between the two is that the three-in-one-out system has single outlet while the three-in-three-out has three outlets. Herein, the pipe manifold system is connected to the dispensing mechanism one, the dispensing mechanism two and the dispensing mechanism three through the internal tap one, the internal tap two, the internal tap three. Herein, the outlet pipe is connected to the pipe manifold system allowing all types of liquid to exit through the single outlet pipe. Herein, the dispensing mechanism one, the dispensing mechanism two and the dispensing mechanism three are assembled with the pipe manifold system through the internal tap one, the internal tap two, the internal tap three. The outlet pipe is connected to the pipe manifold system thus forms the three-in-one-out piping system. Herein, each of three outlet pipes are individually connect to the internal tap one, the internal tap two, the internal tap three, and the outlet pipe of the dispensing mechanism one, the dispensing mechanism two and the dispensing mechanism three respectively. Thus forms the three-in-three-out piping system. The facia is a single mould plastic frame. Herein, both the three-in-one-out piping system and three-in-three-out piping system fits into single type of facia without need for changing design and dimensions of the facia. This possible by changing the plumbing/piping mechanism instead of changing the dispensing mechanisms.
The main advantage of the present invention is that the present invention design & develops water dispenser piping system that can change from one configuration to another configuration.
Another advantage of the present invention is that the present invention interchange configuration “three in –three out” system to “three in –one out” system and vice versa through the plumbing/piping mechanism keeping the other parts common.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the present invention designs & develop water dispenser which can ease the stock management during the manufacturing process by keeping the dispensing mechanism for both configurations as same so that the parts can be interchanged.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the present invention increases economic efficiency of manufacturing process.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the present invention designs & develop water dispenser which can ease the stock management for the servicing by keeping the dispensing mechanism for both configurations as same so that the parts can be interchanged.
