A main body unit, for mounting between the legs of the human body, is connected to the seating unit and has an accommodation space therein. A discharge channel is provided in the accommodation space and communicates with the disposal space to discharge the excreta in the disposal space to the outside. The body also includes a genital insertion unit, which has the urine disposal unit therein, formed to surround the circumference of at least a part of male genitalia. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An excreta disposal apparatus comprising a male module, the apparatus comprising: a body comprising a seating unit, which has a shape corresponding to a curved shape of genital area and buttocks of a human body, comprises a urine disposal unit corresponding to the genital area of the human body and an excrement disposal unit corresponding to the buttocks of the human body, and has a disposal space open toward the genital area and buttocks of the human body so as to take excreta discharged from the human body, and a main body unit, which is connected to the seating unit so as to be mounted between legs of the human body and has an accommodation space therein; a discharge channel, which is provided in the accommodation space and communicates with the disposal space so as to discharge the excreta in the disposal space to outside of the excreta disposal apparatus; a spray unit, which is exposed to the disposal space and sprays washing water; and a flow channel switching unit, which is provided in the accommodation space and supplies the washing water introduced from outside of the excreta disposal apparatus to the spray unit, wherein the body comprises: a genital insertion unit, which has the urine disposal unit therein and is formed so as to surround a circumference of at least a part of male genitalia; a urine discharge flow path, which is provided in the genital insertion unit and to enable urine to flow to the main body part from the genital insertion unit, and which is formed in a protruding fashion; a second branch flow path, which is provided in the genital insertion unit to enable to flow washing water accommodated from the main body part to the genital insertion unit and is formed in a protruding fashion; a first coupling hole, which is formed in a groove shape corresponding to the second branch flow path, and which interconnects the second branch flow path with the main body part while fixing the genital insertion unit to the main body part when the second branch flow path is inserted and coupled; and a second coupling hole, which is formed in a groove shape corresponding to the urine discharge flow path, and which interconnects the urine discharge flow path with the main body part while fixing the genital insertion unit to the main body part when the urine discharge flow path is inserted and coupled. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the urine disposal unit is partitioned by the excrement disposal unit. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the spray unit comprises: an upper side nozzle which is provided in the genital insertion unit, and sprays the washing water to the urine disposal unit; an auxiliary nozzle which is provided in the connection unit, and sprays the washing water to the excrement disposal unit; and a rotary nozzle which is exposed to the excrement disposal unit, and sprays the washing water to the excrement disposal unit. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising: a first supply channel, through which flows the washing water accommodated in the flow channel switching unit to the rotary nozzle; and a second supply channel, through which flows the washing water accommodated in the flow channel switching unit to the male module. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The apparatus of claim 4, further comprising: a first branch flow path which is connected to the second supply channel, and provided in the connection unit to enable the washing water to flow to the auxiliary nozzle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: an auxiliary discharge channel which is connected to the urine discharge flow path and allows the urine to flow to the discharge channel. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the genital insertion unit is formed to be adjustable in length.
