  • Publication number: 20250074661
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a sealing plug, comprising a sealing cover, a sealant and a bracket. The sealing cover is connected to the bracket to sandwich the sealant between the sealing cover and the bracket, and the sealant is at least partially received in a receiving space of the sealing cover. In the sealing plug of the present disclosure, the sealing cover and the bracket are two separate parts, and are then connected together by a connection process such as riveting, and the sealant can be sandwiched between the sealing cover and the bracket. In addition, the sealing plug can restrict the flow of the sealant when the sealant melts, thus avoiding sagging of the sealant after melting or unevenness of the sealant after curing, which not only does not affect the appearance of the component to be sealed, but also ensures the reliability of the sealing plug for sealing the hole of the component to be sealed.
