Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elevator rope that has a plurality of strands that are formed by twisting together a plurality of steel wires.
  • Conventional elevator ropes have: an inner layer rope; a resin inner layer coating body that coats an outer circumference of the inner layer rope; a plurality of outer layer strands that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the inner layer coating body; and a resin outer layer coating body that coats an outer circumference of the outer layer strand layer.
  • the inner layer rope has: a core rope that includes a plurality of core strands; a core rope coating body that is coated onto an outer circumference of the core rope; and a plurality of inner layer strands that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the core rope coating body.
  • the core strand, the inner layer strands, and the outer layer strands are each configured by twisting together a plurality of steel wires (see Patent Literature 1, for example).
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Patent No. 4108607 (Gazette)
  • a straight core strand is disposed centrally in the core rope. Because this straight core strand is not twisted together with other strands, it is less likely to be subjected to constraining forces from other strands. Because of that, due to manufacturing problems such as nonuniformity of wire tension during manufacturing, for example, there is concern that if strain is generated in a portion of the wire that constitutes the straight core strand, making the wire break early, or on the other hand, if loosening arises, making the wires become slack, broken or loose wire may protrude outside the elevator rope, making it necessary to replace the elevator rope early.
  • the present invention aims to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator rope that can extend service life by suppressing external wire protrusion.
  • an elevator rope including an inner layer rope that includes a plurality of inner layer strands in which a plurality of steel wires are twisted together, and an outer circumference of which is coated by a resin outer layer coating body, wherein a fiber core that is made of synthetic fiber is disposed centrally in the inner layer rope.
  • the fiber core that is made of synthetic fiber is disposed centrally in the inner layer rope, strands that are not twisted together with other strands are no longer disposed centrally in the inner layer rope, thereby enabling service life to be extended by enabling all of the strands to be subjected to constraining forces from other strands to suppress external wire protrusion.
  • Figure 1 is a cross section of an elevator rope according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
  • a fiber core 1 is disposed centrally in an elevator rope.
  • a plurality of (in this case, eight) inner layer strands 2 are twisted together on an outer circumference of the fiber core 1.
  • Each of the inner layer strands 2 is configured by twisting together a plurality of steel wires.
  • each of the inner layer strands 2 has: a core wire that is disposed centrally; a plurality of intermediate wires that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the core wire; and a plurality of outer layer wires that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the layer of intermediate wires. Diameters of the intermediate wires are less than diameters of the core wire and the outer layer wires.
  • An outer circumference of the layer of inner layer strands 2 is coated by a resin inner layer coating body 3.
  • An inner layer rope 4 is constituted by the fiber core 1, the inner layer strands 2, and the inner layer coating body 3.
  • the inner layer coating body 3 contacts the fiber core 1 between mutually-adjacent inner layer strands 2.
  • the fiber core 1 and the inner layer coating body 3 are maintained in a state of being interposed between the mutually-adjacent inner layer strands 2 even when tension acts thereon during service.
  • a plurality of (in this case, nineteen) outer layer strands 5 are twisted together on an outer circumference of the fiber core 1. Diameters of the outer layer strands 5 are less than diameters of the inner layer strands 2.
  • Each of the outer layer strands 5 is configured by twisting together a plurality of steel wires.
  • each of the outer layer strands 5 has: a core wire that is disposed centrally; and a plurality of outer layer wires that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the core wire. Diameters of the outer layer wires are identical to the diameter of the core wire.
  • An outer circumference of the layer of outer layer strands 5 is coated by a resin outer layer coating body 6.
  • the outer layer strands 5 and the outer layer coating body 6 are glued using an adhesive.
  • the outer layer coating body 6 contacts the inner layer coating body 3 between mutually-adjacent outer layer strands 5.
  • the inner layer coating body 3 and the outer layer coating body 6 are maintained in a state of being interposed between the mutually-adjacent outer layer strands 5 even when tension acts thereon during service.
  • a resin that has a certain amount of hardness such as polyethylene or polypropylene, for example, is used as a material for the inner layer coating body 3.
  • the inner layer coating body 3 is constituted by a resin that is cross-linked by introducing a cross-linking agent.
  • the coefficient of friction of the inner layer coating body 3 should be reasonably low in order to increase flexibility of the elevator rope and also to reduce loss that occurs during flexing by sheaves.
  • the material of the inner layer coating body 3 is harder than a material of the outer layer coating body 6 and to have a lower coefficient of friction relative to identical metal materials.
  • the inner layer coating body 3 it is preferable for the inner layer coating body 3 to have superior wear resistance since slippage arises against the inner layer strands 2.
  • the outer layer coating body 6 is constituted by a resin that has sufficient wear resistance at a coefficient of friction on the sheaves that is greater than or equal to 0.2, such as a polyurethane, for example.
  • the outer layer strands 5 are constituted by a resin that is cross-linked by introducing a cross-linking agent.
  • the elevator rope according to Embodiment 1 since the elevator rope according to Embodiment 1 has an inner layer rope 4 inside, strength is greater than that of ropes of identical diameter that have a fiber core at center and that have eight strands or six strands ("conventional ropes"). Because of that, it is conceivable that the load that acts on the elevator rope according to Embodiment 1 is greater than the loads that act on conventional ropes, and that the pressure that acts on the central fiber core 1 from the respective strands 2 and 5 is further increased.
  • Embodiment 1 because a synthetic fiber round bar core is used as the fiber core 1, the packing density of the fiber core 1 itself can be raised, enabling the occurrence of shape collapse to be suppressed in the face of greater loads.
  • the fiber core 1 is made of comparatively low-friction synthetic fiber, abrasion of the strands 2 and 5 can be reduced relative to movement of the respective strands 2 and 5 when the elevator rope tensile loads and bending loads act thereon. Consequently, it is not necessary to impregnate rope grease internally. Thus, there is no need to be concerned about effects of oil due to coating rupture during rope manufacturing, particularly during coating and molding.
  • the number of outer layer strands 5 is greater than or equal to twice the number of inner layer strands 2, and is greater than or equal to sixteen, the pressure to which the outer layer strands 5 are subjected from sheave grooves can be reduced when the elevator rope is wound around the sheaves.
  • the outer layer strands 5 in Embodiment 1 have two-layer constructions in which a single layer of wires is bundled onto an outer circumference of a central wire, the construction is simple, sufficient strength is ensured, and the outer layer strands 5 are also sufficiently and easily washed, enabling the outer layer coating body 6 to be fixed firmly to the outer layer strands 5 adhesively.
  • Flexural stresses that are generated when passing through small-diameter sheaves can also be reduced compared to conventional ropes that have similar diameters by reducing wire diameters.
  • the wires that constitute the outer layer strands 5 can also be reduced in diameter by increasing the number of outer layer strands 5.
  • the inner layer strands 2 have a three-layer construction in which two layers of wires are bundled onto an outer circumference of a central wire, overall rope packing density is increased, and flexural stresses that are generated can be reduced. It is preferable for there to be six through eight inner layer strands 2. This is because if the number of inner layer strands 2 is less than six, the cross section of each of the inner layer strands 2 is increased, or gaps between the inner layer strands 2 increase, and if the number of inner layer strands 2 is greater than eight, on the other hand, it is necessary to increase the overall number of layers in the rope in order to raise the packing density.
  • One method for obtaining the effects of packing density improvements and bending stress reduction is to increase the overall number of layers in the rope further, but as the number of strands and the number of wires increase, the number of manufacturing steps increases, making this impractical in terms of manufacturing costs.
  • each of the outer layer strands 5 have a simple construction that is constituted by seven wires, but because the inner layer strands 2 also have a comparatively simple three-layer construction, the overall number of wires in the rope can be set to less than or equal to three hundred even though the number of strands is greater than or equal to twenty.
  • sheave diameter D is set to greater than or equal to forty times rope diameter d
  • the sheave diameter is set to greater than or equal to 480 mm.
  • wire diameter ⁇ of the outer layer strands is approximately 0.8 mm
  • the diameters of the outer layer wires should naturally be made equal, but when consideration is given to design tolerances of the rope, it is preferable in practice for diameter variations of the outer layer wires to be kept within 10 percent.
  • Figure 2 is a cross section of an elevator rope according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
  • a synthetic fiber twisted core that is made of polypropylene or polyethylene, for example, is used as a fiber core 7.
  • An outer circumference of the fiber core 7 is coated by a resin core coating body 8.
  • a material that is similar or identical to that of an inner layer coating body 3 can be used as a material for the core coating body 8.
  • An inner layer rope 4 according to Embodiment 2 is constituted by the fiber core 7, the core coating body 8, inner layer strands 2, and the inner layer coating body 3. The rest of the configuration is similar or identical to that of Embodiment 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section of an elevator rope according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
  • An inner layer rope 4 according to Embodiment 3 is constituted by a core rope 9, inner layer strands 2, and an inner layer coating body 3.
  • the core rope 9 is constituted by: a fiber core 10; a plurality of (in this case, six) core strands 11 that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the fiber core 10; and a core rope coating body 12 that is coated onto an outer circumference of the layer of core strands 11.
  • a synthetic fiber round bar core is used as the fiber core 10 in a similar manner to Embodiment 1.
  • a material that is similar or identical to that of the inner layer coating body 3 can be used as a material for the core rope coating body 12.
  • Each of the core strands 11 is configured by twisting together a plurality of steel wires.
  • each of the outer layer strands 5 has: a core wire that is disposed centrally; and a plurality of outer layer wires that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the core wire. Diameters of the outer layer wires are identical to a diameter of the core wire. Diameters of the core strands 11 are less than diameters of the outer layer strands 5. Diameters of the wires in the core strands 11 are less than diameters of the wires in the outer layer strands 5. The rest of the configuration is similar or identical to that of Embodiment 1.
  • Figure 4 is a cross section of an elevator rope according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention.
  • a synthetic fiber twisted core is used as a fiber core 13 in a similar manner to Embodiment 2.
  • An outer circumference of the fiber core 13 is coated by a resin core coating body 14.
  • a material that is similar or identical to that of an inner layer coating body 3 can be used as a material for the core coating body 14.
  • a core rope 9 according to Embodiment 4 is constituted by the fiber core 13, the core coating body 14, core strands 11, and a core rope coating body 12. The rest of the configuration is similar or identical to that of Embodiment 3.
  • Figure 5 is a cross section of an elevator rope according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention.
  • a fiber core 15 that is constituted by a synthetic fiber twisted core is disposed centrally in a core rope 9 without modification (without using a core coating body).
  • the rest of the configuration is similar or identical to that of Embodiment 4.
  • an overall rope cross-sectional construction is a three-layer construction (a layer that includes the core strands 11, a layer that includes the inner layer strands 2, and a layer that includes the outer layer strands 5), then occupied area in a central portion is smaller than in a two-layer construction such as that of Embodiment 1 or 2. Because of that, in a three-layer construction, even if a fiber core 15 that is constituted by a twisted core is used without modification, gaps that form in each portion are reduced, enabling effects that are almost identical to those of Embodiment 4 to be achieved.
  • the numbers of outer layer strands 5, inner layer strands 2, and core strands 11 are reduced sequentially (outer layer strands 5 > inner layer strands 2 > core strands 11).
  • the numbers of outer layer strands 5 and inner layer strands 2 are also as explained in Embodiment 1, and steel wire packing density can be increased by further reducing the number of core strands 11 compared to the number of inner layer strands 2. Not only can the wire diameter thereby be reduced compared to conventional ropes, but the overall number of strands and number of wires in the rope can also be suppressed.
  • the outer layer wire diameter of the core strands 11 smaller than the diameter of the outer layer wires in the other strands 2 and 5
  • flexural stresses that arise in the core rope 9 during bending action can be reduced compared to other layers.
  • the core rope 9 is prevented from being damaged before the other layers, enabling the occurrence of overall collapse of rope shape due to damage to the core rope 9 to be prevented.
  • Figure 6 is a cross section of an elevator rope according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention.
