  • pulleys 5a and 5b for receiving a rope 10 are mounted on a lower part of a car 1 for carrying a passenger(s) or load, and a pulley 5e for receiving the rope is arranged above a counterweight 2 counterpoising the car 1 when about a half of a safe working load is borne by the car 1.
  • Pulleys 5c and 5d for receiving the rope 10 are arranged at a top of a hoistway 7, and a driving device 3 including a sheave 3a is arranged at a lower part of the hoistway 7.
  • the rope 10 of the invention extends from a rope holder 6a arranged at the top of the hoistway 7, onto the pulleys 5a and 5b on the lower part of the car 1 and the pulley 5c on the top of the hoistway 7 so that the rope 10 is wrapped around the sheave 3a of the driving device 3.
  • the rope 10 further extends on the pulley 5d at the top of the hoistway 7 and the pulley 5e of the counterweight 2, and terminates at a rope holder 6b at the top of the hoistway 7.
  • the rope 10 is bendy, and has a great friction-coefficient between the sheave 3a and a coating of the rope, so that the rope 10 has a longer operating life and can transmit securely a driving force even when a diameter of the sheave is small.
  • the diameter of the sheave may be from one third to a half in comparison with the prior art sheave. Therefore, a driving torque of the driving device may be from one third to a half in comparison with the prior art driving device so that the driving device can be significantly downsized.
  • diameters of the pulleys at the lower part of the car 1, above the counterweight 2 and the top of the hoistway 7 are decreased similarly so that an overhead (a distance between the highest floor and a ceiling of the hoistway) and a pit depth (a distance between the lowest floor and a pit of the hoistway) can be decreased.
  • a synthetic resin coating 15 is formed on an outside of a first structure 12 arranged at a central portion of the rope 10 and second structures 13 arranged around the first structure 12.
  • the first structure 12 is formed by, for example, twisting strands 22 around a core 23 to form an inner structure 24, each of which strands is formed by twisting metallic wires 21 substantially parallel to each other, and forming an organic material coating 25 on an outer periphery of the inner structure 24.
  • the core 23 may be formed of single organic material (resin), a rope of organic material (resin) or a strand which is formed by twisting metallic wires. For obtaining a longer operating life, the core 23 formed of resin is preferable. Clearances are formed between the strands 22 adjacent to each other to be filled with the coating 25.
  • Each of the second structure 13 is formed by twisting metallic wires 31 and 32 substantially parallel to each other to form an outer structure 33, and forming an organic material coating 34 on an outer periphery of the outer structure 33.
  • the metallic wires 32 are arranged at an outer periphery of the outer structure 33. In this case, diameters of the metallic wires 32 are greater than those of the metallic wires 21 and 31 or a strength of each of the metallic wires 32 is smaller than that of the metallic wires 21 and 31.
  • a pressing force is generated between the first structure 12 and each of the second structures 13 twisted around the first structure 12 by a tension applied to the rope 10, and a radial pressing force is also generated therebetween by pressing the rope ) against the pulleys and sheave. Flexures of the rope are generated at every passes of the rope on the pulleys and sheave. In this actual operating condition, compressive pressures are generated between the first structure 12 and each of the second structures 13 and between the metallic wires 21, 31, 32, and a flexural stress in each of the metallic wires and mutual slip between the metallic wires are generated. Therefore, the metallic wires are at least partially broken by stress variation and slip under the compressive pressures causing a fretting.
  • a stress generated in the metallic wire by the flexures of the rope increases in accordance with an increase of radial distance of a position of the metallic wire from a radial center of the rope and an increase of diameter of the metallic wire. Further, a slip on the metallic wire increases in accordance with the increase of radial distance of the position of the metallic wire from the radial center of the rope. That is, the radially outermost metallic wire bears the most severe condition.
  • a coating 25 is inserted between the strands 22 of the first structure, and a coating 34 and the coating 25 are inserted between the second structures 13, so that a direct contact between the metallic wires arranged between the strands 22 and between the first and second structures 12 and 13 is prevented.
  • the metallic wires 21 substantially parallel to each other contact directly each other in the strands 22, and the metallic wires 31 and 32 substantially parallel to each other contact directly each other in the second structures 13. That is, in taking a broad view, not point contacts but line contacts are formed between the metallic wires. Therefore, pressures generated between surfaces of the metallic wires by the tension applied to the rope is decreased to restrain a decrease of the operating life caused by the fretting.
  • the metallic wires are at least partially broken by repeated flexures of the rope during a long operating time period.
  • the metallic wires 32 arranged on the outer periphery of the rope have greater diameters or lower strengths in comparison with those of the metallic wires 21 and 31, the metallic wires 32 arranged on the outer periphery of the rope are at least partially broken prior to the metallic wires 21 and 31 irrespective of data spread in material strength and production.

  • Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view showing a principle of detecting the breakage of the metallic wires 32.
  • the coatings 15 and 34 of the rope are imaginarily removed to expose the metallic wires 32.
  • a breakage detector 50 includes two magnetic exiters 51 arranged along the rope and a magnetic device 52 for detecting a leakage magnetic flux from the rope. By energizing the exiters 51, a magnetism generated between the exiters 51 flows into the metallic wires 32 through the coating of the rope to generate a magnetic flux 53.
  • a magnetoresistance is constant in the rope so that the magnetic flux flows from one of the exiters 51 to the other of the exiters 51.
  • the magnetoresistance increases at the breakage portion 32a so that a magnetic flux 531 flows out of the rope.
  • An amount of the leakage magnetic flux 531 out of the rope is in proportion to a degree of the magnetoresistance, that is, a number of the broken metallic wires 32.
  • the magnetic flux passes the metallic wires arranged on an outside of the breakage of the metallic wires so that the amount of the leakage magnetic flux out of the rope is decreased. Therefore, it is difficult to detect the breakage with the magnetic device 52.
  • the breakage of the metallic wires starts after a long term of use, the breakage occurs on the metallic wires 32 on the outer periphery of the rope, so that the breakage of the metallic wires on the outer periphery of the rope is detectable magnetically. Further, the number of the broken metallic wires is measurable from the amount of the leakage magnetic flux. The residual strength of the rope and a future variation of the residual strength of the rope can be estimated on recorded data of the number of the broken metallic wires and the residual strength of the rope, so that a rope exchange timing can be easily determined.
  • Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a relationship between a number of bending times and a rope strength, and the rope strength decreases gradually in accordance with an increase of the number of bending times during the use of the rope.
  • Fig. 4 shows a flow chart of these operation, and data of the relationship of Fig. 3 and frequency of use are recorded. From the above data and the number of the broken metallic wires detected by the deterioration measuring method as shown in Fig. 2 , the residual strength of the rope is measured. On the other hand, when the breakage of the metallic wires has been started, a number of bending times in which the rope is safely usable continuously in future is determined on the number of the broken metallic wires, and the acceptable number of bending times is converted with the frequency of use to a number of days, so that the strength of the rope, the time period in which the rope is usable in future, a rope exchange timing and so forth are output.

  • a difference between Figs. 1 and 5 is that the number of the metallic wires 32 breakable prior to the metallic wires 21 and 31 is decreased.
  • the other structure is common with Fig. 1 , whereby a detailed explanation is not done. In this case, a rate of [strength/cross sectional area] is increased.
  • the number of the metallic wires 32 breakable in advance is decreased and an accuracy in data as shown in Fig. 3 is required, however, the same effect is obtainable.
  • Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view of the rope as another embodiment of the invention, and reference numerals commonly used between Figs. 1 and 6 denote common elements respectively.
  • a difference between Figs. 1 and 6 is that the first structure 12 as the core includes the strands 22 in each of which the metallic wires 21 are twisted around the core 23, and the coating 25, and that the coating is deleted from the second structure 13.
  • the other structure is common with Fig. 1 , whereby a detailed explanation is not done.
  • the metallic wires 21 in the first structure 12 can contact each other in parallel so that the life time of the rope is extensible. Further, since the second structure 13 does not need to be coated, a producing process can be cut down.
  • the coating 15 is inserted between the strands adjacent to each other.
  • the coating 15 and the inner structure 33 need to be adhered to each other by an adhesive.
  • the metallic wires 32 as the object of the invention are breakable prior to the other metallic wires 21 and 31 to detect the deterioration of the rope, so that the same effect is obtainable.
