The battery pack that does not get squeezed and deformed in the side pillar collision has also become a research topic for the passive safety of the vehicle body. An important factor affecting the battery pack that does not get squeezed and deformed in the side pillar collision is the ability of the vehicle door sill assembly to get squeezed and deformed in the side pillar collision. In the prior art, the door sill outer plate and the door sill inner plate jointly form a cavity, and extruded aluminum profiles and connectors are arranged in the cavity as a reinforcement structure. However, under the side pillar collision condition, the Y-direction cross-sectional dimension of the extruded aluminum profile is relatively large. In order to ensure that the extruded aluminum profile inside the door sill does not become unstable during the collision, it is necessary to increase the material thickness and Z-direction cross-sectional dimension of the extruded aluminum profile. This method often increases production costs and is not conducive to lightweight structure. At the same time, it is impossible to decompose the locally concentrated energy in the side pillar collision and cannot meet the safety protection requirements for the battery.
