[0038] The offshore photovoltaic large-span truss cable bridge comprises a plurality of foundation piles 1, support frames 2, and protective frames 3, the plurality of foundation piles 1 are fixed on the sea surface; the support frames 2 are fixed on the foundation piles 1; the protective frames 3 are connected to one side of the support frames 2 away from the foundation piles 1, and the protective frames 3 and the support frames 2 form a protective space; wherein the support frames 2 comprise a plurality of support main bars 21 and a plurality of support auxiliary bars 22, the plurality of support main bars 21 extend along a first direction X and are spaced apart along a second direction Y, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, for example, the first direction X and the second direction Y can be perpendicular; the support auxiliary bars 22 are fixed between adjacent two support main bars 21, and the plurality of support auxiliary bars 22 are distributed along the extension direction of the support main bars 21; wherein the cross-sectional area of the support main bars 21 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the support auxiliary bars 22.

[0039] In the offshore photovoltaic large-span truss cable bridge provided by the example embodiment, the protective space formed by the cable bridge can be used to support the cable, and at the same time, the staff can walk in the protective space to install and maintain the cable. In addition, the support frame 2 is composed of a plurality of support main bars 21 and a plurality of support auxiliary bars 22, the plurality of support main bars 21 and the plurality of support auxiliary bars 22 can form a grid structure to support the cable and for the staff to walk, in addition, the support main bars 21 with larger cross-sectional area can improve the overall strength of the cable bridge, and the support auxiliary bars 22 with smaller cross-sectional area can reduce the load of the support frame 2 on the foundation pile 1.

[0040] It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of structure A is the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the extension direction of structure A.

[0041] In the example embodiment, as shown inFigures 1-2 As shown in the figure, the support main bars 21 are fixed on the foundation piles 1, and the protective frame 3 is fixed on the support main bars 21. The support main bars 21 have high strength. In the example, the support main bars 21 are fixed on the foundation piles 1, and the protective frame 3 is fixed on the support main bars 21, so that the overall strength of the cable bridge can be improved.
