[0025] The bottom cover further comprises a decorative shell 2 connected to the frame 1, the lower surface of the decorative shell 2 is provided with a recessed position 21 for placing the footboard 3; the footboard 3 is placed in the recessed position 21, space is saved, stress concentration caused by the protrusion of the structure is avoided, and the safety of the equipment is affected; the decorative shell 2 is provided with a frame through hole 22, the frame 1 is provided with a cross beam 11 penetrating through the frame through hole 22; since the roller coaster and other amusement equipment have aesthetic requirements for the appearance of the structure, the decorative shell 2 is arranged above the footboard 3 and connected to the frame 1; and the footboard 3 is a main force receiving object, so that the decorative shell 2 and the footboard 3 can be made of different materials, the cost and weight are reduced, and the performance and safety of the amusement equipment are improved.
[0026] The transition connecting assembly 42 comprises a transition connecting piece 421, a first frame connecting piece 422 detachably connected to the transition connecting piece 421 and a second frame connecting piece 423 detachably connected to the transition connecting piece 421, and the first frame connecting piece 422 and the second frame connecting piece 423 are both connected to the frame 1; the first frame connecting piece 422 is installed and simultaneously connected to the frame 1 and the transition connecting piece 421, and by referring to Figure 5 it can be known that the first frame connecting piece 422 simultaneously supports the footboard 3, the second frame connecting piece 423 is installed and simultaneously connected to the frame 1 and the transition connecting piece 421, and by referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 it can be known that the second frame connecting piece 423 simultaneously supports the decorative shell 2, the second frame connecting piece 423 is connected to the frame 1 through a second frame connecting hole 4231, the first frame connecting piece 422 has the same connection structure with the frame 1, and the first frame connecting piece 422 and the second frame connecting piece 423 are respectively connected to two ends of the transition connecting piece 421, thereby improving the stability of connection.
[0027] The transition connector 421 is a profile, and both left and right sides of the profile are provided with a matching through slot 4211. Figure 1 As can be seen from the exploded view, when the pedal connector 41 is connected, it needs to be fixed on the transition connector 421 through a threaded structure in the horizontal plane, and the first frame connector 422 and the second frame connector 423 also need to be fixed on the transition connector 421 through a threaded structure. The transition connector 421 adopts a profile with multiple matching slots 4211, which can slide the head of the screw used for threaded connection into the matching slot 4211, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of assembly and improving the efficiency of assembly.
[0028] The locking connection assembly 4 further comprises a shell connector 43 detachably connected to the transition connector 421 and connected to the decorative shell 2. Different components are connected through the pedal connector 41, the first frame connector 422, the second frame connector 423, and the shell connector 43, which can improve the stability and safety of the connection. The above-mentioned connectors are all angle bars, which can effectively disperse the load of the corresponding connected components, thereby improving the safety of the product and the stability of the connection.
[0029] The locking connection assembly 4 is arranged in the recess 21, thereby saving installation space and reducing the difficulty of assembly. The upper surface of the transition connector 421 supports the decorative shell 2, and the pedal 3 also plays a supporting role.
[0030] The pedal connector 41, the first frame connector 422, the second frame connector 423, and the shell connector 43 are all L-shaped, so that the above-mentioned connectors can support the corresponding connected components, share the load, improve the safety, and can observe the deformation state of the connectors during daily maintenance to judge the service life of the pedal 3.
