The shutter is mounted on the side plate and is movable relative to the side plate to open or close the wiring gap. In the electrical junction box according to the present application, the shutter is mounted on the side plate and is movable relative to the side plate to open or close the wiring gap. Therefore, when the busbar is installed, the wiring gap can be opened by only moving the shutter relative to the side plate without removing the shutter.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a sealing device for an engine hood and a vehicle. The sealing device comprises: an elongated and hollow sealing component capable of being elastically deformed; a mounting component fixed to the sealing component and extending along a longitudinal direction of the sealing component; and a reinforcing component configured to comprise a hollow elongated body and arranged inside the sealing component, wherein only a part of the outer wall of the reinforcing component abuts the inner wall of the sealing component, so that a compression space is formed between the reinforcing component and the sealing component. According to the present disclosure, the sealing strength of the sealing component is improved by providing the reinforcing component in the sealing component of the sealing device. The improved sealing strength allows the sealing component to generate stronger tension on the engine hood, thereby preventing the problem of engine hood vibration during traveling and improving the safety performance of the entire vehicle.
