  The apparatus support case 8 having the above-described configuration is supported by being attached to the upper surface of the rear portion of the support frame 17 with a screw.

  In this case, the positioning projection 2 at the front end of the device support case 8 is fitted into the positioning recess 12 that opens from the rear of the front part 15 toward the rear of the rear of the rim 13 as shown in FIG. The apparatus support case 8 is positioned with respect to the rim portion 13. In this case, since at least the rear portion of the positioning recess 12 is inclined so that the vertical opening width becomes wider toward the rear end side, the positioning protrusion 2 can be easily fitted into the rear end opening of the positioning recess 12, With the projection 2 fitted in the rear end opening of the positioning recess 12, the side end surface of the positioning projection 2 is placed on the side guide portion 12 a on the side in the opening of the rear end of the positioning recess 12. At the same time, the positioning projection 2 can be fitted into the positioning recess 12 by placing the lower end surface of the positioning projection 2 on the lower guide 12b and pushing the device support case 8 forward in this state. .

  In this way, the positioning projection 2 at the front end of the device support case 8 is fitted into the positioning recess 12 of the front part 15 to be positioned, whereby the bowl cleaning nozzle that becomes the fluid discharge portion 3 provided in the device support case 8. 3a is fitted into the bowl cleaning nozzle opening 4a provided in the front part 15, and as shown in FIG. 3, the nozzle housing 9 containing the local cleaning nozzle 3b is fitted into the local cleaning nozzle opening 4b. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the air duct 3 c tip of the air blower 11 is fitted into the air duct opening 4 c and the air duct 50 of the deodorizer 24 is positioned so that the tip of the air intake duct 50 faces the deodorizing opening 33. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the illumination means 25 made of a light emitting portion such as an LED is positioned so as to face the light emitting opening 34. Accordingly, the bowl cleaning nozzle 3a, the nozzle housing 9, the tip of the air duct 3c, the tip of the suction duct 50, and the illumination means 25 are respectively connected to the bowl cleaning nozzle opening 4a, the local cleaning nozzle opening 4b, and the air duct. The positioning opening 4c, the deodorizing opening 33, and the light emitting opening 34 can be positioned so as to be fitted and faced, and positioning becomes extremely easy.

  In this manner, the apparatus support case 8 is attached to the support frame 17 with screws or the like in a state where the apparatus support case 8 is positioned on the front part 15 attached to the front portion of the support frame 17.

  Next, the upper cover 19 is attached to the apparatus support case 8 so as to cover the apparatus support case 8. A toilet seat 26 and a toilet lid 27 are rotatably attached to the upper cover 19.

  Thereafter, the rear cover 21 is attached to the apparatus support case 8 and the support frame 17, the upper side cover 22 is detachably attached to the rear cover 21, and the lower side cover 23 is detachably locked to the upper side cover 22. In a positioned state, the magnet is detachably attached to the support frame 17 with a magnet. By attaching and detaching the lower side cover 23 and the upper side cover 22, maintenance, inspection, repair and the like inside the toilet bowl 7 can be performed.

  When the toilet 7 configured as described above is for cleaning a local part of a human body sitting on the toilet seat 26, the local cleaning nozzle 3b that is the fluid discharge unit 3 is extended to expand the local cleaning that is the opening 4 for inserting the discharge unit. The cleaning water is discharged from the local cleaning nozzle 3b by projecting from the nozzle opening 4b to clean the local part of the human body. When the cleaning is completed, the local cleaning nozzle 3b is contracted and the distal end portion is inserted into the discharge portion fitting opening 4 The local cleaning nozzle 3b is accommodated in the nozzle accommodating portion 9 into which is inserted.

  On the other hand, when drying the local part of the human body, hot air or cold air blown from the front end portion of the air duct 3c which is the fluid discharge portion 3 is supplied from the air duct opening portion 4c which is the discharge portion fitting opening portion 4c. Discharge to dry parts of the human body.

  When the washing and drying of the local portion of the human body as described above is completed, water is discharged from the bowl washing nozzle 3a and the bowl washing nozzle opening provided at one side end in the left-right direction of the rear end portion of the guide recess 14 Run water from 4a. The water discharged from the bowl cleaning nozzle opening 4a flows while swirling in the guide recess 14, and a part of the water gradually swirls into the bowl 1 from the lower edge portion of the side opening of the guide recess 14. The inside of the bowl part 1 is washed by this swirling flow.

  As described above, in the present invention, the bowl cleaning nozzle 3a, the local cleaning nozzle 3b, which is the fluid discharge unit 3 that discharges the fluid toward the bowl unit 1 side provided in the device support case 8 of the rear part 16, the blower Each of the front ends of the duct 3c has a bowl cleaning nozzle opening 4a and a local cleaning nozzle opening which constitute a discharge portion fitting opening 4 having one end opened rearward and the other end opened toward the bowl portion. Since the rim portion 13 integrated with the upper portion of the bowl portion 1 of the front part 15 is provided with the opening portion 4b and the air duct opening portion 4c, a separate warm water washing device 6 and the like are placed on the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 7. As compared with the conventional example in which the fluid discharge part 3 is provided above the upper surface of the upper opening edge of the bowl part 1, the appearance of the entire toilet is cleaner and more compact.

  Since the separate hot water cleaning device 6 and the like are placed on the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 7 and the fluid discharge part 3 is not provided above the upper surface of the upper opening edge of the bowl part 1 in this way, Thus, the sewage does not enter between the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 7 and the hot water washing device 6, and even if the sewage adheres to the rear upper face of the toilet bowl 7, it can be easily wiped off.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, even if sewage or water enters the opening 4b for the local cleaning nozzle and the opening 4c for the air duct formed in the front part of the rear part of the bowl part 1, the local cleaning nozzle Will be smoothly discharged into the bowl portion 1 along the downwardly inclined inclined lower surface portion 5 of the lower surface portion in the air duct opening portion 4c and the air duct opening portion 4c. It is possible to reliably prevent deep intrusion and retention in the interior.

  Further, the sewage or water enters through the local cleaning nozzle 3b that extends and retracts from the local cleaning nozzle opening 4b and flows down into the nozzle storage unit 9, or the local cleaning nozzle 3b is allowed to flow into the nozzle storage unit 9. In this case, the sewage or water adhering to the local cleaning nozzle 3b may flow down into the nozzle storage part 9, but in such a case, the lower surface part of the nozzle storage part 9 and the downward inclined part 10 Therefore, sewage and water can be smoothly discharged to the bowl portion 1 along the downward inclined portion 10.

  In the above embodiment, the example of the turn trap type toilet 7 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be a siphon type, a siphon jet type, or a flush type.
