[0019] The specific embodiments of the utility model are further explained in detail by comparing the drawings and describing the embodiments, the purpose is to help the technical personnel in the art to have a more complete, accurate and deep understanding of the utility model concept and technical scheme of the utility model, and to help the implementation.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-2The application discloses a spherical plug cover with drainage function, which comprises a vehicle body sheet metal 1, a spherical plug cover 2 arranged between the vehicle body sheet metal 1, and a sealing lip 21 connected with the vehicle body sheet metal 1, wherein the sealing lip 21 is provided with a spherical container 22, and the bottom of the spherical container 22 is provided with a drainage diaphragm 23; the spherical plug cover 2 is composed of the sealing lip 21, the spherical container 22 and the drainage diaphragm 23, and has the functions of drainage and sealing, and has a simple structure; water on the vehicle body sheet metal 1 can be drained outwards through the spherical plug cover 2, and the sealing effect is achieved when there is no water; when passing through a water pool, the spherical container 22 is kept closed under the action of water pressure, thereby preventing water outside from entering the vehicle body; when water falls into the recess of the vehicle body sheet metal 1 and the spherical container 22, the spherical container 22 is pushed away from both sides under the action of water pressure, the drainage diaphragm 23 is opened, and water is drained outwards; when the gravity is insufficient, water is stored in the spherical container 22, and the vehicle body sheet metal 1 is not affected; when there is no water in the vehicle body sheet metal 1, the spherical container 22 is not affected by external pressure, and the sealing effect is achieved, thereby reducing the air leakage; and when passing through a water pool, the water pressure outside the spherical container 22 keeps the drainage diaphragm 23 closed, thereby preventing water outside from entering the vehicle body through the spherical plug cover 2.
[0021] The cross section of the spherical container 22 is semicircular, and the spherical container 22 is arranged in pairs and is left-right symmetrical; water can be stored in the spherical container 22, and the water on the vehicle body sheet metal 1 can be quickly stored in the spherical container 22; and the spherical container 22 can be smoothly drained when being expanded to both sides.
[0022] The drainage diaphragm 23 is attached together; the sealing effect is effectively achieved when there is no drainage, thereby preventing air leakage or water outside from entering the vehicle body sheet metal 1.
[0023] The vehicle body sheet metal 1 is in the shape of a concave character as a whole, and the spherical plug cover 2 is arranged in the recess of the vehicle body sheet metal 1; the water on the vehicle body sheet metal 1 can flow into the recess, and the water can flow outwards conveniently.
