[0002] In the field of petroleum equipment, trailers, tanks, equipment platforms and other equipment often use walkways on the edge of the main structure for personnel passage and operation and maintenance. Currently, common walkways generally use the operation method of turning upside down or disassembling when transporting equipment, but there are the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1) For traditional flip-up walkways, the railings need to be removed before operation can continue. However, this is only applicable to operations at a certain height. When the walkway is in high position, the operation is very difficult and there may even be operational risks.

[0004] 2) For walkways with a disassembly design, the railings must be removed in advance and then disassembled and assembled using a crane or forklift. Furthermore, when the walkway is located high up, there are risks associated with working at height.

[0005] 3) Both the traditional flip structure and the disassembly and assembly design have the disadvantage that they cannot be operated by one person.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of traditional walkways, a new type of foldable walkway design is proposed to make the use and operation of the walkway simpler and more convenient. Utility Model Content

[0026] A rotating support 8 is provided between the railing 1 and the walkway body 3. The rotating support 8 is the rotation point between the walkway body 3 and the railing 1. The rotating support 8 includes a support shaft fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the railing 1, a sleeve mounted on the support shaft and connected to the rotating beam 2, and a limiting column arranged at the lower end of the support shaft for limiting the sleeve.

[0027] The rotating beam lock pin 6 comprises a fixed pin and a rotating pin rotatably mounted at the end of the fixed pin. The rotating beam lock pin 6 is used to secure the rotating beam 2. When the walkway body 3 is folded, the rotating beam 2 is parallel to the plane of the handrail 1. The rotating pin is rotated so that the fixed pin and the rotating pin are coaxial, then inserted into the socket on the rotating beam 2. The rotating pin is then moved so that it is perpendicular to the fixed pin, thereby locking the rotating beam 2.
