Abstract

Disclosed herein is a sealing device disposed between a vehicle door and a vehicle body and a vehicle door sealing rubber strip thereof. The sealing rubber strip is sleeved on a door pipe of the vehicle door. The vehicle door sealing rubber strip is an annular rubber body constituted by a drain segment and a non-drain segment. The annular rubber body includes a hollow rubber ring made of foaming rubber and a groove-shaped rubber ring made of compacted solid rubber and provided with a pipe body mounting groove at the inner side of the groove-shaped rubber ring. An air hole is provided in the hollow rubber ring, and a small water flowing trench is provided at the bottom surface of the pipe body mounting groove of the groove-shaped rubber ring. A fixing groove with a broad bottom and a narrow opening is provided on one external side of the groove-shaped rubber ring. A water flowing channel disposed transversely and a draining through hole communicated with the water flowing trench are provided on the other side surface of the groove-shaped rubber ring at the drain segment. Compared with the prior art, such device can solve the problem of unreliable sealing between a vehicle body doorframe and a vehicle door which are made of circular pipes and the difficulty of draining water accumulated inside the vehicle door.
