     In the following, the personal urine collecting apparatus with the bidet system according to the present invention will be described on its operations and effects in detail. 
     For urination, a user who is a physically uncomfortable person opens the front chamber cover  16  of the case  10  and takes out the collector body  21  in the front chamber  12  of the case  10 . Then, once a button  16   a  at the front of the case  10  is pushed down to open the front chamber cover  16 , a locking claw of the button  16   a  is pushed to disengage with the lower portion of the front chamber cover  16 . As a result, the front chamber cover  16  is elastically opened by a coil spring mounted on the hinge  15  of the case  10 . 
     Subsequently, the collector body  21  is brought to the urination part of the user to be close contact with the urination part. A soft packing  25  disposed along to the end of the collector body  21  comes into close contact surround the urination part. In particular, the soft packing  25  is made of a physically friendly silicon material, and resulting in no adverse effect even when it is used over a long period of time. As shown in FIG. 4, since an adhesive portion  25   a  of the soft packing  25  is provided with a close contact  25   b  which is bent outwardly on the end of the adhesive portion  25   a,  the collector body  21  may be used with a soft and comfortable feeling owing to the elastic force of the close contact  25   b  when the collector body  21  is brought into close contact with the urination part. Furthermore, as the collector body  21  is brought into close contact around the urination part of the user, the close contact  25   b  is deployed to become bent outwardly with a close contact state. As a result, the collector body  21  exerts a good water-tight property and helps a natural urination. 
     The soft packing  25  may be made in various shapes other than that as discussed above. As shown in FIG. 5, an elastic middle support  25   c  can be added intermediate to ensure softer touch feeling. 
     Urine is collected into the urine collecting space of the collector body  21  when urination is done with the contact  25   b  of silicon material contacted closely to the urination part. The collected urine in the collector body  21  is sensed by an infrared sensor  27   c  on both sides of a release socket  27  disposed on the lower portion of the collector body  21  to send a signal to the controller, the sent signal drives the urine discharge pump  61  to transport the collected urine to a urine repository  30 . 
     With a more description on transport of the collected urine to the urine repository  30 , the urine discharge pump  61  is driven to suck the collected urine, the sucked urine is transported, in turn, along to a urine guide pipe  23  connected to the collector body  21 , along to a urine discharge guide line on the interior of the case, along to a urine delivery pipe  64 , through the through hole  35  on the cap  33  of the urine container  31 , and then the transported urine is introduced into and stored the urine container  31 . 
     Here, the detachable filtering net  76  at the outlet port of the collector body  21  is adapted to filter pubic hair, wastes and so on. 
     On one hand, the infrared sensor  27   c  fitted on the release socket  27  of the collector body  21  is attached on the outer side of a urine release portion  27   a  made of a transparent material so that it can sense not only urine but also various fluids, such as cleansing water, sterilizing solution, etc. with infrared radiations without contact with these fluids. As a result, a sanitary environment can be ensured along with a positive operation of the sensor. 
     When urination has been completed, it is sensed by the infrared sensor  27  fitted on the release socket  27  of the collector body  21 . The resulting signal is applied to the controller so that the urine discharge pump  61  of the driving means would stop operating. 
     On the other hand, the user who has completed his/her urination presses an operation switch  19  located at the front of the case  10  to put a bidet pump  63  in motion. In this case, the bidet pump  63  may be driven not only by the operation switch  19  located at the front of the case  10 , but by the operation switch  22  located at the front of the collector body  21 . In other words, the bidet system can be driven with easy and simple by the switch which the user or caregiver is convenient to operate. Optionally, the bidet system may be automatically driven in a predetermined time without a separate switch in an automatic control mode in place of the manual mode. 
     If the bidet pump  63  is driven, the cleansing water contained in a heater  50  is pumped to be injected into a bidet system  70  of the collector body  21  by way of a flushing line  54 . 
     For more description on the path which the cleansing water flows from the heater  50  to the bidet system  70 , the cleansing water pumped by the bidet pump  63  flows along to the cleansing water guide line  54  connected to the heating storage tank  51 , through a cleansing water delivery pipe in the urine guide pipe  23  to reach the collector body  21 . This cleansing water arrived at the collector body  21  flows along to the cleansing water delivery pipe  71  in the collector body  21 . The cleansing water supplied by the cleansing water delivery pipe  71  is injected into the user&#39;s urination part by the injection nozzle  72  and cleanses it. 
     At this time, the user adjusts an injection position for cleansing with an positioning member  77  installed in the outer side of the collector body  21  to control the injection position with the collector body  21  come into close contact. 
     In detail, an operating knob  74  of the positioning member  77  is grasped to put a rolling ball  73  in rotational motion. The rotating rolling ball  73  allows the injection nozzle  72  fixed on the lower end of the rolling ball  73  to be shifted, thereby controlling the injection position. When the injection position is set, a positioning button  75  fitted on one side of the operating knob  74  is pulled downward to closely contact on the outer surface of the rolling ball  73  so that the injection nozzle  72  is fixed for its position. 
     Subsequently, the cleansing water injected from the injection nozzle  72  is heated to a proper temperature by the ceramic heater  53  installed on the heater  50  (see FIG. 9) so that it is convenient for the user to use it. To mention it in detail, the ceramic heater  53  is supplied with currents by the controller, the ceramic heater  53  generates heat. This heat is transmitted to a heat transfer member  52  which is a stainless steel plate on the heater. The heat transmitted to stainless steel plate heats cleansing water in the heater  50  on the plate so that the cleansing water maintains at a temperature convenient for the user to use it. 
     To increase heat transfer efficiency, as shown in FIG. 10, the ceramic heater  53  is closely inserted into the stainless steel plate which is recessed at its middle portion. Therefore, the heat can be transferred to both sides of the ceramic heat  53  to increase its efficiency. 
     When the cleansing water heated to such a proper temperature is spent in a bidet mode, the cleansing water is supplied from the storage tank  41  disposed above the heating storage tank  52  to be heated again. The cleansing water is heated only by a desired amount so that the cleansing water can be heated to a desired temperature in a short time and loss in electric power can be decreased. 
     In this case, when the cleansing water is filled up, air in the heating storage tank  51  is escaped through an atmospheric pipe  58  of the heating storage tank  51 . To be specified on this, when the cleansing water is filled up in the heating storage tank  51 , air in the heating storage tank  51  flows through a bypass tube  58   b  from an atmospheric hole  58   a.  The air past the bypass tube  58   b  flows along to the interior of the hand grip of the case to the urine container  31 . Therefore, the cleansing water is filled with ease because the pressure difference between interior and exterior of the heating storage tank  51  is eliminated. In addition, such an atmospheric pipe  58  may be used when the flushing is removed by rotating the bidet motor in a reverse direction. 
     Meanwhile, the ceramic heater  53  of the heater  50  is carried out a pasteurization which is generally to sterilizes a substance, especially a liquid in part at a temperature between 63 to 65° C. and for a period of thermal exposure that destroys objectionable organisms without major chemical alteration of the substance. The ceramic heater  53  is pre-set at a proper temperature, i.e. between 63 to 65° C., for pasteurization by the controller, and then the bidet pump is driven for a period or so between a half to one hour, wherein a hot water between 63 to 65° C. is injected into the interior of the collector body  21 . In this case, the pasteurization has to be carried out with the cover  26  of the collector body  21  covered. 
     Carrying out such a pasteurization, the hot water sterilizes and cleanses the apparatus while it flows, in turn, the cleansing water line  54 , the flushing transporting pipe, the flushing delivery pipe  71  and the collector body  21 . 
     With applications to this principle, it is possible to affect a function as bidet as well as a function of sterilizing and deterging any flesh wound. To this end, after the pasteurization, an antiseptic is charged into the cleansing water tank body  41 , the collector body  21  is closely contacted around any flesh wound of a patient, the injection nozzle  72  is controlled to direct toward the flesh wound, and a bidet mode is carried out. Therefore, the injection nozzle  72  of the bidet system  70  is adapted to cleanse and sterilize the wound of the patient for several times, the injected antiseptic solution is collected into the urine container  31  along with a foreign substances, such as blood, pus and so on. The used urine container  31  is disassembled and connected again after cleansing, the wound, such as a decubitus, a hemorrhoid, etc., is sterilized and cleansed. 
     Subsequently, when the collector body  21  is used up, the collector body  21  is entered into the front chamber  12  of the case  10  along with the urine guide pipe  23  and then the front chamber cover  16  is shut. 
     Here, before the front chamber cover  16  is shut, the collector body  21  is seated onto the cradle  81  of the case  10 , wherein the ultraviolet lamp  82  fitted on the vertical side of the cradle  81  is illuminated toward the interior of the collector body  21  to sterilize it. In this case, the ultraviolet lamp  82  must be preferably operated only when the front chamber cover  16  is shut. 
     Also, if there is any message that the collector body  31  is full of urine by the liquid crystal display of the case  10  or the warning sound of the buzzer, the rear chamber cover  17  covered on the rear half portion of the case  10  is pivoted about the hinge  15  to be opened. The urine container  31  is taken out of the rear chamber  13  of the case  10 . The urine container  31  causes its cap  33  to be opened and its contents to be emptied. Then, the urine container  31  is kept in place again, the rear chamber cover  17  is covered. 
     Similarly, if there is any message that the cleansing water tank body  41  is short of water by the liquid crystal display of the case  10  or the warning sound of the buzzer, the rear chamber cover  17  of the case  10  is pivoted about the hinge  15  to be opened. The cleansing water tank body  41  is taken out. The cleansing water tank body  41  is filled with the cleansing water and held in place again, the rear chamber cover  17  is covered. 
     In addition, the heat release opening  98  is formed on the rear end of the case  10 , and the fan  99  with a compact motor on the inside of the heat release opening  98  is designed to give off heat from the interior to exterior of the case  10 , so that it is possible to prevent the apparatus from being malfunctioned.
