Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sealing structures, and more specifically to the technical field of a cargo cover sealing strip for a covered hopper car on railways. Background Art

[0002] A sealing strip is a product that seals something to make it not easy to open and plays roles such as shock absorption, waterproofing, sound insulation, heat insulation, dust prevention, and fixing. Sealing strips are made of various materials such as rubber, paper, metal, and plastic. The following technologies have been disclosed in existing patents:

[0003] The patent with the publication number CN207647429U and the patent name "A sealing strip for rail vehicles and a door system using the sealing strip" discloses the following content: The sealing strip includes a sealing part with an airbag cavity, and one or more exhaust holes are opened on the side wall of the airbag cavity located on the outer side of the vehicle. In the utility model, the exhaust holes are arranged on the outer side of the vehicle of the sealing strip, which can effectively prevent the water in the circumferential sealing strip from entering the door through the exhaust holes. Even if rainwater enters the inside of the sealing strip through the exhaust holes, it will not enter the vehicle interior, further improving the waterproof performance of the door.

[0004] The patent with the publication number CN112252112A and the patent name "An expansion joint sealing strip and its application" discloses the following content: The sealing strip includes a sealing strip body in a strip structure, and several side sealing strips arranged parallel to each other on both axial sides of the sealing strip body and extending along the axial direction of the sealing strip body. The expansion joint sealing strip of the utility model can be used for sealing the expansion joints of concrete highway pavements or railway concrete bases. The utility model is reasonably designed, and the side sealing strips arranged on both sides of the sealing strip body make the utility model have a unique "fishbone-shaped" structure. When installed, the side sealing strips on both sides of the product are closely attached to both sides of the concrete expansion joint, achieving a good sealing effect.

[0005] One of the sealing forms adopted on railway freight cars in our country is liquid sealant or foam sealant sealing, and the other is mechanical sealing. The first sealing form is used more in static structures. If it is for a moving mechanism, it cannot achieve the sealing effect; the second sealing form can be applied to moving structures, but mechanical sealing requires a certain gap to ensure the flexible movement of the mechanism. Due to reasons such as the deformation of the steel structure, this sealing structure cannot seal situations such as rainwater. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cargo cover sealing strip for a covered hopper car on railways in order to solve the technical problems of poor flexibility of existing sealing strips and inability to seal during movement.
