Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle bodies, in particular to a novel hot-formed door sill. Background Art
[0002] At this stage, people have higher and higher requirements for vehicle safety performance, and the requirements for side collision in the vehicle collision evaluation standards are becoming more and more stringent. High-strength body can improve the protection of crew cabin personnel. As an important part of the whole pure electric vehicle, the body can provide protection for passengers and battery packs when the vehicle collides, and its collision performance is directly related to the life safety of passengers. In the design process of pure electric vehicles, the threshold beam is very important, and it plays the dual role of battery pack safety protection and passenger life safety. Therefore, a new type of hot-formed threshold is needed to provide safety protection for battery packs and passengers. At present, the thresholds on existing models mainly include aluminum extrusion and roll-pressing solutions. Aluminum extrusion threshold beams are excellent in lightweight, but their disadvantage is the high unit cost. Roll-pressed threshold beams are excellent in unit cost, but they do not have an advantage in lightweight. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a new type of thermoformed threshold, including a thermoformed threshold beam assembly, the thermoformed threshold beam assembly includes a thermoformed threshold beam and a group of energy absorbing plates, a group of the energy absorbing plates are arranged in the inner wall of the thermoformed threshold beam, and the outer wall of the thermoformed threshold beam is provided with a body threshold inner panel.
[0005] Preferably, a group of the energy absorbing plates are fixedly connected to the hot-formed sill beam by resistance welding, the energy absorbing plates are made of DP780 dual-phase steel, and the hot-formed sill beam is made of ultra-high strength steel.
[0006] Preferably, a group of mounting holes are formed through the outer wall of the thermoformed rocker beam and the outer wall of the inner plate of the vehicle body rocker, and a welded square nut is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the inner plate of the vehicle body rocker.
[0007] Preferably, the vehicle body rocker inner panel and the thermoformed rocker beam are fixedly connected by connecting bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the vehicle body rocker inner panel and the thermoformed rocker beam are fixedly connected by resistance welding.

[0010] 1. In the utility model, in the case of side collision, the 2GPA ultra-high strength threshold beam of the new hot-formed threshold beam assembly transmits the collision force to the side B-pillar, upper side beam, and seat cross beam and other parts. The energy absorption plate adopts DP780 dual-phase steel to show higher strength than ordinary high-strength steel, so it has greater impact energy absorption capacity, which is conducive to improving the safety of the vehicle and the safety of the battery pack. In the case of frontal collision, the transmission path is: front anti-collision beam → energy absorption box → front longitudinal beam → torque box → threshold beam → rear longitudinal beam. The 2GPA ultra-high strength threshold beam of the new hot-formed threshold beam assembly has stronger mechanical properties, thereby ensuring the smooth transmission of collision force and the safety of the passenger compartment. The energy absorption plate is installed in the U-shaped structure of the hot-formed threshold beam, positioned and clamped by a clamp, and connected together in the matching area of the two using resistance welding. Compared with the traditional aluminum alloy extruded threshold beam, this new hot-formed threshold can not only ensure the safety of the battery pack and the life safety of the occupants, but also reduce costs and weight.

Two different connection methods are provided, which facilitates the connection between the thermoformed sill beam and the inner panel of the vehicle body sill. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
