[0015] Further objectives, advantages, features and application possibilities of the present utility model will become apparent from the following description of the exemplary embodiments based on the drawings.

[0016] As from Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the absorbent wiper arrangement 1 according to the invention comprises at least one wiper body 11 and an air chamber 12.

[0017] The scraper body 11 comprises a first scraper element 111, a second scraper element 112, and a docking point 113, wherein the first scraper element 111 is located on one side of the scraper body 11 and the second scraper element 112 is located on another side of the scraper body 11. The docking point 113 is formed in the upper surface of the scraper body 11, with a height difference between the transverse profile of the second scraper element 112 and the transverse profile of the first scraper element 111.

[0018] The air chamber 12 is formed in the scraper body 11, specifically between the first scraper element 111 and the second scraper element 112, and is continuously connected to the base of the scraper body 11 and the docking point 113. The air chamber 12 can be formed by a first recess 121 on the inside of the first scraper element 111 and a second recess 122 on the inside of the second scraper element 112.

[0019] A further embodiment of the above-mentioned design differs in that the first scraper element 111 is located in front of the scraper body 11 and the second scraper element 112 is located behind the scraper body 11, wherein the height from the top to the bottom of the second scraper element 112 is greater than the height from the top to the bottom of the first scraper element 111, so that there is a height difference between the transverse profile of the second scraper element 112 and the transverse profile of the first scraper element 111.

[0020] For commissioning, the absorbent wiper assembly 1 according to the invention is attached to a respective suction head 21 of various carpet cleaning devices 2 (such as an automatic carpet cleaner or AI carpet cleaner) via the docking point 113 of the wiper body 11. If no docking point 113 is provided, the wiper body 11 can be attached directly to a respective suction head 21 of various carpet cleaning devices 2. In this way, the wiper assembly 1 according to the invention can serve as an absorbent component in various carpet cleaning devices 2.

[0021] When the absorbent wiper assembly 1 comes into contact with the carpet 3 during the cleaning process, the first wiper element 111 initially agitates the dirty water and / or dust on the carpet 3, while the second wiper element 112 sweeps the agitated water or dust forward and collects it. This causes the dirty water and / or dust to accumulate in front of the second wiper element 112, particularly in front of the area that remains complementary to the air chamber 12, before it is drawn into the wiper body 11 via the air chamber 12. The dirty water and / or dust is then conveyed to the carpet cleaning device 2 for collection through the inside of the docking point 113. Thanks to the design of the transverse profile of the second wiper element 112, which has a height difference compared to the first wiper element 111, a two-stage arrangement is achieved for improved adsorption of water and dust.This allows the absorbent wiper arrangement 1 according to the invention to be attached to various types of carpet cleaning devices 2, for example to an automatic carpet cleaner or AI carpet cleaner, in order to achieve superior carpet cleaning performance.

[0022] Of the aforementioned embodiments, a further embodiment can be derived with the difference that the two ends of the first wiper element 111 are each formed with a first coupling part 114, and the two ends of the second wiper element 112 are each formed with a second coupling part 115, wherein the first coupling parts 114 and the second coupling parts 115 are each connected to each other via a fixing piece 116. The interlocking of the first coupling parts 114 and the second coupling parts 115 with the fixing pieces 116 results in a robust connection between the first wiper element 111 and the second wiper element 112. Thanks to the easy disassembly or replaceability of the first wiper element 111 and the second wiper element 112, convenient cleaning of the air chamber 12 and improved practical use are facilitated.

[0023] Of the aforementioned embodiments, a further embodiment can be distinguished by the fact that the first wiping element 111 and the second wiping element 112 are formed as a monoblock of the wiping body 11. This results in a robust connection between the first wiping element 111 and the second wiping element 112, as well as optimal practicality and durability.

[0024] Of the aforementioned embodiments, a further embodiment can be developed with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 6 to Fig. 7 with a difference in that the cross-sectional profile of the first scraper element 111 has the same height position as the second scraper element 112, while the air chamber 12 has a short flattened cross-sectional profile (i.e. short distance from front to back with low height) and is also located between the first scraper element 111 and the second scraper element 112 or can be continuously connected to the bottom of the scraper body 11 and the docking point 113.

[0025] For commissioning, the absorbent wiper assembly 1 according to the invention can be attached to a respective suction head 21 of various carpet cleaning devices 2 via the docking point 113 of the wiper body 11. When the absorbent wiper assembly 1 comes into contact with the carpet 3 during the cleaning process, the first wiper element 111 can initially agitate the dirty water and / or dust on the carpet 3, while the air chamber 12 draws the dirty water and / or dust agitated by the first wiper element 111 into the wiper body 11. Subsequently, the swirled water or dust behind the first scraper element 111 (i.e., the front of the second scraper element 112, which remains complementary to the air chamber 12) is scraped forward by the second scraper element 112 and accumulated, so that the dirty water and / or dust is collected between the second scraper element 112 and the air chamber 12.The dirty water and / or dust is then drawn through the air chamber 12 into the scraper body 11 and subsequently discharged through the inside of the docking point 113 into the carpet cleaning device 2 for collection. Thanks to the short, flattened transverse profile of the air chamber 12 in this embodiment, the outside air entering the air chamber 12 is compressed, resulting in greater suction pressure and thus increasing the suction power of the suction head 21, enabling the absorbent scraper assembly 1 to quickly and thoroughly absorb the dirty water and / or dust. The short, flattened transverse profile of the air chamber 12 also facilitates better adsorption of water and dust. This allows the absorbent scraper assembly 1 according to the invention to be attached to various types of carpet cleaning devices 2, for example, an automatic carpet cleaner or an AI carpet cleaner, to achieve superior carpet cleaning performance.

[0026] For commissioning, a combination of the height difference between the cross-sectional profile of the second scraper element 112 and the cross-sectional profile of the first scraper element 111 with the short, flattened cross-sectional profile of the air chamber 12 can also be provided (see also Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig.4) When the absorbent wiper assembly comes into contact with the carpet 3 during the cleaning process, the first wiper element 111 initially agitates the dirty water or dust on the carpet 3, while the second wiper element 112 sweeps the agitated water or dust forward and collects it. This causes the dirty water or dust to accumulate in front of the second wiper element 112, particularly in front of the area corresponding to the air chamber 12, before it is drawn into the wiper body 11 via the air chamber 12. The dirty water or dust is then conveyed through the inside of the docking point 113 into the carpet cleaning device 2 for collection, thus creating a two-stage arrangement for improved water and dust adsorption.Thanks to the short, flattened transverse profile of the air chamber 12, the outside air entering the air chamber 12 is compressed, resulting in a higher suction pressure and therefore increasing the suction power of the suction head 21, so that the absorbent wiper assembly 1 quickly and thoroughly absorbs the dirty water and / or dust. This enables superior water and dust adsorption performance. The absorbent wiper assembly 1 according to the invention can thus be attached to various types of carpet cleaning devices 2, for example, to an automatic carpet cleaner or AI carpet cleaner, to achieve superior carpet cleaning performance.
