[0015]

According to the present invention, there is provided a toilet in which a low tank integrated with a local cleaning device is provided upright on the rear upper surface of the toilet body, and a lifting device capable of raising and lowering the low tank is provided below the low tank. This makes it possible to raise and lower the local cleaning device together with the raw tank via the raising and lowering device to clean the space between the rear upper surface of the toilet body and the bottom of the raw tank well, and also to clean the nozzles of the local cleaning device well. This makes it possible to clean well even if dirt such as urine enters, thereby preventing generation of odor.

Further, the lifting device is fixed to the toilet body using a low tank mounting bolt hole formed in the toilet body, so that the low tank mounting bolt already formed in the toilet body is provided. The lifting device can be fixed well using the holes, and the mounting of the lifting device can be easily performed.

The lifting device is constituted by a manually or electrically movable cam capable of raising and lowering the low tank when standing up, and a guide member for guiding the vertical movement of the low tank. ,
By raising the cam, the low tank with the local cleaning device can be smoothly moved up and down to form a gap between the low tank and the toilet body.

The cam has a lower end connected to a rotatably mounted shaft and a roller provided at the upper end, so that the roller comes into contact with the bottom surface of the low tank and rolls, so that the cam is rotated. It can be raised up smoothly.

The guide member is constituted by a slide plate fixedly provided on the toilet body side and a slide plate guide fixed to the low tank side in which the slide plate is slidably fitted. The slide plate guide is fixed to the low tank side, and the slide plate is inserted into the slide plate guide from the toilet body side, and the simple structure can guide the lifting and lowering movement of the low tank well without roughening. Becomes

A manual handle is connected to the cam,
Since the length of the manual handle is set longer than the length of the cam, the manual handle is long, so the manual handle can be moved with a slight force to operate the cam in the upright direction. It can be done with light power.

Further, the distributor attached to the bottom of the low tank and supplying the flush water to the toilet body side is formed in a bellows type so as to be vertically movable.
When the low tank is moved up and down, the bellows of the distributor expands and contracts, so that it can follow the up and down movement well.

Further, since the toilet body is provided with an insertion portion into which the distal end of the distributor is movably inserted, the distal end of the distributor moves within the insertion portion when the low tank moves up and down, so that the distributor smoothly moves. It is possible to follow up and down movement.
