Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently drain fouled waste by providing an agitating structure at the inside bottom of a toilet stool provided with a discharge part and a cleaning water supply part. SOLUTION: Water in a toilet stool 1 and fouled waste are agitated by an agitating structure 2 to make a homogeneous fluid state in the usual use. After a lid body 5 has been closed, an on/off valve 62 of a pressurized fluid supply part 6 is opened for a specified time to supply city water into the toilet stool 1. Then, the pressure in the toilet stool 1 increases and the fouled waste is discharged from a drain pipe 3. When the pressure in the toilet stool 1 lowers, the inside of the toilet 1 is isolated from the drain pipe 3 by the action of a trap or a check valve or the like and some quantity of discharge water is accumulated in the toilet stool 1. When city water pressure is low or a small quantity of discharge water is intended, fouled fluid is discharged to the drain pipe 3 by air pressure by actuating a high pressure air source 64 such as an air tank or the pressurized fluid supply part 6. In this way, fouled waste can be efficiently discharged.
