Therefore, the engine cover and the sealing strip are cooperated to seal, and the traditional sealing strip is relatively cumbersome when being installed on the wind window upper guard plate. Therefore, some manufacturers integrally form the sealing strip and the sealing strip, such as the engine cover rear sealing structure with the patent number CN203544145U, which realizes the effective blocking of the hot gas in the cabin by setting the groove on the engine cover inner plate and configuring the corresponding convex rib (equivalent to the sealing strip) on the wind window upper guard plate. The convex rib and the wind window upper guard plate are integrally formed, and the triangular reinforcing rib is added on the convex rib to ensure the structural strength and stability. Although this design ensures good sealing performance and structural strength, it also brings some challenges in practical application. Since the convex rib and the wind window upper guard plate are integrated, if the convex rib is aged, deformed or damaged during long-term use, the entire wind window upper guard plate needs to be replaced during maintenance, which not only increases the cost of parts, but also increases the maintenance complexity and time cost. Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, it is necessary to improve the existing engine cover rear sealing structure, especially the connection mode between the sealing strip and the wind window upper guard plate, so that it can realize quick disassembly and convenient replacement, thereby reducing the maintenance cost, improving the resource utilization rate, and enhancing the flexibility during assembly.
