The protective assembly is used to be installed on both sides of the main beam 9 for pedestrian protection. A plurality of light troughs 5 for installing light sources are provided on the outside of the protective assembly, and an array of each light trough is arranged to form a light screen.

[0022] The main beam here generally refers to the main beam of the pedestrian bridge; the transverse direction is the width direction of the main beam, the keel assembly can be a frame structure or other known skeleton structure, and the structure of the keel assembly can be adjusted according to the structural adaptability of different pedestrian main beams. If the main beam itself is a steel structure, the keel assembly can be directly connected to the main beam by welding or threaded connection. If the main beam itself is a reinforced concrete structure, the keel assembly can be connected to the main beam by anchoring. The keel assembly is mainly used to adapt to the installation of protective components; the protective component can be a protective beam with an integrated light trough on it. Lamps and cables can be placed inside the light trough. The arrangement and shape of the light trough can be based on the actual layout requirements of the lamps. Adjustments should be made, and the light trough should be adapted to light sources of different specifications. The light source is installed in the light trough, and the embedded light curtains arranged in an orderly manner along the length of the bridge can form a video light screen, which can play promotional and advertising videos, greatly improving the night lighting effect and additional effects of the pedestrian bridge; the railings of this structure have the functions of pedestrian railings and decorative facades, and can be used for new pedestrian bridges as well as for the decoration and renovation of existing pedestrian bridges; the entire railing integrates multiple functions such as pedestrian protection, landscape decoration, night lighting, and advertising. There is no need to add additional structures in the later operation stage, and the overall consistency of various functions with the pedestrian bridge is maintained, which is conducive to the concealment of components such as lines and lamps, and prevents the exposure of various components resulting in insufficient aesthetics and poor safety.

[0023] In this embodiment, the protection assembly includes a plurality of primary decorative rods 1 and a plurality of secondary decorative rods 2 arranged in sequence along the length of the main beam. The secondary decorative rods 2 are shorter than the primary decorative rods 1. Both the primary decorative rods 1 and the secondary decorative rods 2 are assembled from aluminum alloy rods, which are lightweight, high-quality, and durable, making them suitable for the decoration and renovation of pedestrian bridges. Figure 1As shown, the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 can be of a gradient structure, so that the entire railing forms an arched short wave structure. Based on the variable shape structure of the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2, parts of the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 can be covered with skin to cover the unsightly parts of the main beam structure; the protective component is composed of a rod structure, which is easy to realize parametric design and customized manufacturing, and can effectively reduce the decoration and construction cost of the landscape pedestrian bridge; the length, line type, spacing arrangement and other design parameters of the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 can be diversified to achieve different facade landscape effects and meet the diverse needs of pedestrian bridge decoration; the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 form a hollow effect, and with the light source, the hollow effect is different at different viewing angles, rich in light and shadow changes, and also conducive to the lightweight of the railing to reduce the impact on the load-bearing capacity of the main beam, and also conducive to the appearance inspection and maintenance of the inner-wrapped main beam structure.

[0024] In this embodiment, the keel assembly includes a keel 3 fixedly connected to the side of the main beam and a connecting piece 4 connected to the keel and extending laterally outward. The main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 are connected to the connecting piece 4. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the keel 3 is a triangular support structure composed of a vertical beam 3a fixed to the side of the main beam and a support beam 3b. The keel 3 can be connected to the side of the main beam by welding or bolting. A waist-shaped hole is opened on the connecting piece 4, and the connecting piece 4 is connected to the side of the vertical beam 3a by bolts passing through the waist-shaped hole. The setting of the waist-shaped hole is conducive to fine-tuning the position of the connecting piece; the specific structure of the connecting piece 4 can be adaptively changed according to the shape changes of the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 in the protective component. The middle lower position of the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 is connected to the connecting piece 4 by bolts. The setting of the connecting piece is conducive to adapting to the shape changes of the main decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2, and plays a better connection role in the protective component.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lamp trough 5 is opened on the transverse outer side of the main decorative rod 1, the open end of the lamp trough 5 is covered with a light-transmitting plate 6, and the bottom of the lamp trough is opened with a mounting hole that passes through the transverse inner side of the main decorative rod. The main decorative rod 1 has the function of installing lamps and cables. Holes or grooves can be opened at the bottom of the lamp trough to place cables, thereby hiding the cables; the secondary decorative rod mainly plays a decorative role, so the thickness of the secondary decorative rod can be less than the thickness of the main decorative rod, and the height of the secondary decorative rod can be lower than the height of the main decorative rod, which can reduce the amount of material used while ensuring aesthetics and reliable protection performance; the lamp trough 5 can be arranged in multiple intervals along the length direction of the main decorative rod 1, or it can be a long strip groove that runs through the rod body of the main decorative rod 1 along the length direction of the main decorative rod 1; the protective component can be integrated with the lamp or installed separately; the light-transmitting plate is made of plastic, and the color of the light-transmitting plate can be selected according to actual needs. The light panel 6 closes the lamp trough, which is conducive to hiding the lamp in the lamp trough, achieving the effect of seeing light but not seeing the lamp, and also helps protect the lamp, can prevent the lamp from being exposed to the sun and rain, improve the durability of the lamp, and is easy to maintain and highly replaceable.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transverse cross-section of the main decorative bar 1 is crescent-shaped, with a lamp trough 5 naturally formed on the transverse outer side of the main decorative bar 1. A transverse cross-section is formed by sectioning along the transverse direction, which in this embodiment refers to the width of the main beam. The cross-section of the main decorative bar is rationally designed based on the ability of aluminum alloy to form complex cross-sections through die extrusion. The crescent-shaped cross-section offers the advantages of ample slotting space, high rigidity, and material savings. Furthermore, this cross-section naturally forms a lamp trough extending along the length of the main decorative bar, facilitating the installation of lamps throughout the entire main decorative bar.

[0027] This embodiment also includes a handrail 7 extending along the length of the main beam and supporting the protective assembly. The handrail is located inside the protective assembly and is connected to each main decorative rod 1 in a sequential or skipped connection. Sequential connection means that it is connected to each main decorative rod 1, while skipped connection means that it is connected to each main decorative rod 1 at intervals, specifically, the intervals can be equidistant or unequal. The handrail 7 is a rod-shaped structure arranged horizontally along the length of the main beam. The handrail can be directly connected to the main decorative rod. In this embodiment, the handrail is connected to the main decorative rod via an armrest connector 10. The armrest connector 10 is a substantially L-shaped rod, one end of which is bolted to the main decorative rod, and the other end is bent upward, resting on the handrail and bolted to the handrail.

[0028] In this embodiment, the protective assembly further includes a connecting rod 8, which extends through the primary decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2, forming a series connection structure. The connecting rods can be provided in multiple groups. In this embodiment, two groups are provided, one at the upper and one at the lower middle portions of the primary decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2, respectively. The primary decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 have longitudinal openings at corresponding positions for the connecting rods to pass through. The primary decorative rod 1 and the secondary decorative rod 2 are fixedly connected to the keel near their middle portions. The connecting rods are round rods, and the primary and secondary decorative rods are connected in series to form an integrated structure via the connecting rods. This improves the stability of each decorative rod, thereby meeting the structural requirements of the standard. The protective assembly has good integrity, high strength, and excellent pedestrian protection.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lower ends of the primary and secondary decorative rods 1 and 2 extend downward to block the keel assembly. The upper ends of the rods are 1.1 meters higher than the main beam deck, and the lower ends are lower than the bottom of the main beam, serving as guardrails and facade decoration.

[0030] In this embodiment, two longitudinally opposing inner walls of the lamp trough 5 are provided with sliding grooves along the length of the trough, and the two sides of the light-transmitting plate 6 are slidably mounted within the grooves. The lamp trough 5 extends upward to the upper end of the main decorative rod, and the light-transmitting plate 6 can slide along the grooves to open or close the trough, facilitating lamp installation and also serving to seal the trough.

[0031] In this embodiment, a recessed groove is defined at the bottom of the lamp trough 5, and a mounting hole is defined at the bottom of the recessed groove. The main decorative rod 1 is connected to the keel assembly via a fastener 11 inserted into the mounting hole, with the head of the fastener 11 recessed in the recessed groove. The fastener is a bolt, which threadably connects the main decorative rod 1 to the connector 4. The secondary decorative rod 2 is connected in series with the main decorative rod via a connecting rod to form a whole. The head of the bolt is located in the recessed groove, ensuring a smooth bottom of the lamp trough and facilitating the placement of the lamp. If the bolt is a hexagonal head bolt, the recessed groove is a hexagonal recessed groove or a strip groove that matches the bolt head. When the bolt head conforms to the recessed groove, the bolt's rotation is restricted. When the bolt head has a polygonal or special-shaped structure, the recessed groove adapts to restrict the bolt's rotation.
