Each of these water gates 2 is also connected by a wire rope 3 to a hoisting device, such as a winch, winder or roller, which is not shown in detail.

Accordingly, as the wire rope is wound or released by the operation of the hoisting device, the water gate is opened and closed while being moved up and down.

On the other hand, such a wire rope must prevent corrosion in order to maintain or perform a predetermined function, and to prevent such corrosion, the wire rope must be periodically cleaned and a coating liquid such as grease must be periodically applied. .

As a method of applying the grease to the wire rope, the most widely used method is to apply grease to the wire rope by using a paint brush or a roller brush after the workers clean the suspended state on the rope. .

As another method, the grease is applied after cleaning at a certain interval by using the wire rope moving up and down during the operation of the water gate.

However, this coating liquid coating work on the wire rope has a problem that the work efficiency is lowered as a worker has to apply the coating liquid directly to the wire rope while hanging on the rope, causing a safety accident, and also opening and closing the water gate When cleaning or applying the wire rope, it is necessary to open and close the water gate, which is complicated and cumbersome. In particular, this method is very limited in the case of constant discharge control of the downstream, so the entire range of the wire rope is very limited. There was a problem that is difficult to apply.

In addition, in both cases, since the cleaning work must be performed separately before grease is applied to the wire rope, a large number of workers are required, thereby causing an excessive cost of construction cost.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, an object of the present invention to provide a wire rope coating device that can be applied to the wire rope easily, quickly and safely grease.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a wire rope applying apparatus which enables the worker to clean and creep the wire rope without hanging on the rope or separately opening and closing the water gate.
