Dirt removing device and dirt removing unit

Abstract

A dirt removing device including: a cassette mechanism having a head formed with a beating face, a liquid accommodating portion for accommodating liquid, and a water supplying passage which is started from the liquid accommodating portion and penetrates into the entire head; and a device body having a vibration unit. The cassette mechanism is detachably received in the vibration unit, and the vibration unit, when being powered, causes the cassette mechanism to vibrate in a direction substantially orthogonal with the beating face of the head. The liquid is supplied from the liquid accommodating portion to the beating face of the head through the water supplying passage, along with the vibration of the cassette mechanism caused by the vibration unit.
