On the other hand, when the flapper member 20 is in the open position, the user operates the operation lever 51 to move the flapper member 20 to the closed position.

When the flapper member 20 is located at the closed position, as shown in FIG. 5, the flapper member 20 closes the lower opening 11d and reduces the odor from the stool tank 81 from entering the toilet room. it can.
With the flapper member 20 positioned at the closed position, the user excretes urine. As a result, urine is collected in the flapper member 20, guided by the second inclined surface portion 22 of the flapper member 20, and introduced into the urine inlet 72 a of the urine discharge duct 70. The urine introduced from the urine introduction port 72 a passes through the first bent pipe part 72, the horizontal pipe part 73, the second bent pipe part 74, and the vertical pipe part 75 of the urine discharge duct 70 and is moved to the urine tank 82. The In this way, the urine collected in the flapper member 20 is accommodated in the urine tank 82.

Next, an operation when the user excretes stool will be described. When the user excretes stool, the user operates the operation lever 51 to position the flapper member 20 in the open position.
When the user excretes stool, it is confirmed whether the flapper member 20 is in the open position. When the flapper member 20 is in the open position, the user uses the flapper member 20 as it is. On the other hand, when the flapper member 20 is in the closed position, the user operates the operation lever 51 to move the flapper member 20 to the open position.

  When the flapper member 20 is moved from the closed position to the open position, as shown in FIG. 6, the flapper member 20 rotates around the flapper rotation axis J2 on the front side of the person when the person is seated on the toilet seat 12. Thus, it is arranged on the front side of the person when the person is seated on the toilet seat 12 so as to be substantially horizontal. Further, the second inclined surface portion 22 of the flapper member 20 is disposed at a position that closes the side opening 71 a of the upper cover portion 71 and the urine introduction port 72 a of the urine discharge duct 70, and shields the urine discharge duct 70.

With the flapper member 20 positioned at the open position, the user excretes stool. Accordingly, the stool is dropped into the stool tank 81 through the toilet bowl 11b and the stool discharge duct 60.
In the state where the flapper member 20 is located at the open position, as shown in FIG. 6, the flapper member 20 is disposed at a position where the urine discharge duct 70 is shielded, so that the stool discharged from the lower opening 11d is discharged from the urine. Entering the urine tank 82 from the duct 70 is suppressed. Further, the flapper rotation axis J2 is disposed on the front side when viewed from the user when the user who uses the toilet device 100 is seated on the toilet seat 12. Therefore, when the flapper member 20 is located at the open position, the flapper member 20 is retracted to the front side of the user in a state of being arranged so as to be substantially horizontal. As a result, when the flapper member 20 is located at the open position, the flapper member 20 is retracted to the front side of the user, so that the user's stool or stool is less than the flapper member 20 retracted to the rear side of the user. Is less likely to adhere to the flapper member 20.

  After the stool is excreted, the user operates the operation lever 51 to move the flapper member 20 to the closed position. Thereafter, the user removes the lid member 41 from the additive supply unit 40 (see FIG. 3), and puts a predetermined amount of the additive into the introduction pipe unit 42 of the additive supply unit 40. Thereby, an additive can be added to the stool stored in the stool tank 81 from the additive introduction part 60 a on the side surface of the stool discharge duct 60.

  According to the toilet device 100 of 1st Embodiment demonstrated above, there exist the following effects.

  The toilet device 100 of 1st Embodiment is provided with the toilet bowl 11b in which the upper opening part 11c was formed in the upper part, and the additive supply part 40 which has the additive inlet 40a into which an additive is injected | thrown-in. In this case, the additive inlet 40a is provided at a position different from the upper opening 11c. Therefore, an additive is thrown in from the additive inlet 40a provided in the position different from the upper opening part 11c of the toilet bowl 11b. Thereby, it is suppressed that an additive adheres to the surface of the toilet bowl 11b. In particular, in the waterless toilet device 100, since water does not flow on the surface of the toilet bowl 11b after excretion, the additive can be introduced from the additive inlet 40a to keep the surface of the toilet bowl 11b clean. The effect of the present invention is great.

  Moreover, in the toilet device 100 of 1st Embodiment, the additive supply part 40 has the introductory pipe part 42 which guides the additive thrown from the additive inlet 40a toward the downward direction of the toilet bowl 11b. Therefore, the additive guided by the introduction pipe part 42 can be supplied to the stool. Thereby, the certainty at the time of supplying an additive to feces can be improved.

  Moreover, in the toilet device 100 of 1st Embodiment, it is comprised so that a stool and a urine can be isolate | separated, and the additive supply part 40 supplies an additive to the stool isolate | separated by the toilet device 100. FIG. The additive can be supplied only to the stool separated by the toilet device 100.

  The screw member 310 disposed outside the cylindrical member 411 has a defect 310a. The deficient portion 310a is a portion where the screw is deficient in the middle of the screw member 310 being continuous. In the present embodiment, the screw member 310 disposed outside the cylindrical member 411 causes the screw portion 310 of the screw member 310 to be deficient in two places as a deficient portion 310a, and the screw member 310 It is formed in a shape that leaves a part.

  The additive amount restriction unit 410 includes the cylindrical member 411, so that the space below the additive supply unit 140 inside the first duct 210 is less than that of the screw member 310 alone, and the additive is limited. The supply amount can be limited. Further, the screw member 310 disposed outside the cylindrical member 411 has a shape in which a screw portion of about a quarter of a round is formed as a defective portion 310a and two portions are lost and a part of the screw remains. The amount of additive transport can be adjusted. The conveyance amount of the additive is set by the size of the remaining screw of the screw member 310 disposed outside the cylindrical member 411.
