As shown in Figure 7, in the case of the flush toilet 700 for the present invention, unlike the general toilet, the urine collection ((尿 地) that can cause the user's urine to collect in the lower side of the toilet toilet (70) (71) is provided. Preferably, this embodiment is preferably applied to the case of using a rod-type sensor in the sensor unit.

In the current flush toilet, urine and faeces are gathered together in the faeces at the toilet, so that the water accumulated in the faeces of the toilet makes it difficult to obtain accurate urine information.

However, because the point of contact within the toilet when urine and faeces are excreted are different, the urine pool where urine collects in the space within the toilet so as to be distinguished from the faeces 70 where feces are gathered for temporary urine collection during the stool. 71). Therefore, since the urine discharged by the user is not mixed with the water accumulated in the flush toilet, accurate numerical information of urine can be obtained.

Hereinafter, the structure of the flush toilet for collecting urine into the collecting pond 71 will be described in detail. As illustrated in FIG. 7, a urine collecting hole 72 is installed at a portion of the flush toilet 700 directly in contact with the urine so that urine is discharged and flows directly into the urine collecting hole 72. At this time, it is preferable that the urinal is installed at a position higher than the height 77 of water normally held in the flush toilet.

When urine flows into the urinal 72, it collects in the urine collection pond 71 through the urine collection guide 73.

Currently, in the case of a vacuum toilet, water does not accumulate in the toilet, but urine and stool in the toilet are collected together in the toilet trap 91. Therefore, in order to obtain the numerical information of the urine using only the urine separated from the stool, a collection point 92 is installed in a portion of the toilet. The collection basin 92 preferably has a groove shape so that even a small amount of urine can be easily accumulated. The collection point 92 is provided with a sensor unit 11 so as to obtain numerical information of urine from the collected urine.

On the other hand, as in the embodiment of the flush toilet, the urinal is installed in the place where the urine directly touches the vacuum toilet, so that the urine is discharged to flow directly into the urinal, the urine flowing through the urine collecting the urine guide It can also cause them to collect in the urine chamber. In addition, urine accumulated in the urine chamber may be used to acquire numerical information of urine. As described above, in the case of obtaining urine numerical information using urine accumulated in the urine chamber, it is preferable to provide a solenoid for opening and closing the discharge of urine accumulated in the urine chamber.

In addition, by directly exposing the sensor portion to the discharged urine, it is possible to obtain the numerical information of the urine before the urine is mixed with water in the feces chamber, without having to separately install a urine chamber inside the vacuum toilet. In the case of this embodiment, it is preferable to use a panel type sensor which can be attached to the urine chamber surface rather than a rod type sensor.

In the vacuum toilet 90, when the user finishes the toilet, the opening and closing portion 93 installed at the bottom of the trap is opened automatically or according to the user's operation, water is introduced into the urine and faeces are discharged through the vacuum tube.

As such, when water for washing urine flows into the feces chamber, the control unit detects it through the water inflow sensor unit, initializes the displayed screen, and waits for the next user to an initial state. On the other hand, in the case of manually controlling the water inflow by the user, if the user operates the water inflow button (or the handle), etc. without having the water inflow sensor, the displayed screen is initialized, and the initial state for the next user. You can also wait. On the initial display screen, you can display a guidance message such as "check your health through urine".
