SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a rope 'which can be easily and surely detected for breakage' and to provide a method for determining and easily detecting the failure of the rope. In a rope containing a bunch of wires, 'Each wire is not suitable to withstand a force load on the rope.' Since a predetermined one of the wires is constructed, it can be applied by imposing -5- (2) (2) 200419036 wires. Tension and deflection on the rope cause a local break, and this occurs at least locally before the remaining wires other than the predetermined wire are at least partially broken by applying tension and deflection to the rope. On one of the wires is predetermined and before the remaining wires are at least partially damaged. Therefore, by monitoring this single predetermined wire, the rope damage can be measured, so that the rope damage can be determined and easily detected. If a predetermined electric wire can have at least a maximum stress, the stress is generated in the predetermined electric wire by applying at least one force and deflection, and the stress is greater than that by applying at least one force and deflection. The maximum stress generated in the remaining wire, and the (fatigue) strength of the cross-sectional area of the predetermined wire can be used to resist the stress generated in the predetermined wire by applying at least one force and deflection. This strength Is the (fatigue) strength that is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the remaining wire, and the latter is used to resist the stress generated in the remaining wire. In such a method, a predetermined wire can have this maximum stress, which is caused by applying at least one force and flexing on the predetermined wire, and the stress is greater than the (fatigue) strength of the cross-sectional area of the predetermined wire This strength can be used to resist the stress generated in this predetermined wire by applying at least one force and flexing. For example, a predetermined wire may have at least one maximum stress, which is generated in the predetermined wire by applying at least one force and deflection, and the stress is greater than that in the remaining by applying at least one force and deflection. The (fatigue) strength of the cross-sectional area of a predetermined wire generated by the wire, and this strength can be used to resist the application of at least one force and deflection in this predetermined wire -6- (3) (3) 200419036 The stress generated, and this strength is not more than can be used to resist the stress generated by applying at least one force and deflection in this predetermined wire 'and / or when the predetermined wire is subject to at least one force and deflection _ When the maximum stress generated is not less than the maximum stress generated by the remaining wire by at least one force and deflection, the (fatigue) strength of a predetermined cross-sectional area of a wire can be used to counteract by applying at least one force and deflection The stress generated in this predetermined wire is lower than the strength that can be used to resist the force generated in the remaining wire by applying at least one force and deflection. This will at least partially damage does occur in a predetermined one of the wires, and local damage occurs before the remainder of the wire. If the cross-sectional area of a predetermined wire is larger than the cross-sectional area of the remaining wire in the longitudinal position of the rope, the maximum stress generated in a predetermined wire is the stress by applying at least one force and flexing the predetermined one Generated in the wire, and the stress is greater than that produced by applying at least one force and deflection to the remaining wire; and / or the (fatigue) strength in a predetermined cross-sectional area of a wire can be used to resist the The stress generated by the tension and deflection in this predetermined wire will be reduced in strength by the influence of the size. Compared with the (fatigue) strength of this cross-sectional area, the strength is used to resist the remaining wires by at least The stress generated by a tension and deflection 'so that at least a partial damage will surely occur on a predetermined electric wire' and before a partial damage occurs on the remaining electric wires. Preferably, the cross-sectional areas of a predetermined electric wire and the remaining electric wires in the longitudinal direction of the bundle of electric wires are respectively fixed. If at least a part of a predetermined electric wire is located in the rope, (4) (4) 200419036 is arranged radially outside of the remaining electric wire, or at least a longitudinal part of the predetermined electric wire is arranged here At the periphery of the bundled wire, at least a partial damage to a predetermined wire on the periphery of the bundled wire can be reliably generated, and the damage is generated by the maximum of a predetermined wire with a stronger stress than the remaining wires. Stress, because the stress in the rope will increase according to the location where the stress is generated and the radial center of the rope (the position of the radial zero); or, if a longitudinal position of the rope, a predetermined wire is Arranged at the periphery of the bundle of wires, and at the same time in the longitudinal position of the rope, if the cross-sectional area of the predetermined wire is larger than the cross-sectional area of the remaining wires, at least part of the predetermined wire will be damaged at the periphery of the wire Is surely generated, and this breakage is generated by the maximum stress of a predetermined wire which is stronger than the stress in the remaining wires, and The remaining wires, with smaller size effect in strength intensity caused becomes easy to measure and / or the periphery of the bundle wires can be seen from this. In order to be able to reliably detect at least partial damage of the predetermined wire, the entire length of the predetermined wire is preferably arranged at the periphery (the radially outermost position) of the bundle of wires. In order to ensure that the maximum stress of a predetermined wire can be greater than the maximum stress of the remaining wire ', so the longitudinal elastic coefficient of a predetermined wire in a rope is preferably greater than the longitudinal elastic coefficient of the remaining wire. The electric wire and the remaining electric wire may be metallic, and a predetermined electric wire may be magnetically penetrated, so that the damage of a predetermined electric wire can be magnetic. This predetermined electric wire and the remaining electric wire (5) (5) 200419036 may be conductive. And this predetermined electric wire can be electrically connected to the remaining electric wire, so that in the longitudinal length of the rope, the potential difference between the longitudinal ends of the predetermined electric wire will be equal to the longitudinal direction of the remaining electric wire in the longitudinal length of the rope. The potential difference between the two ends makes it possible to suppress the electrochemical corrosion on this wire. The predetermined main composition of one electric wire may be equal to the main composition of the remaining electric wires. This bundle of wires can be twisted. The bundle of wires may include a first bundle of twisted wires and a second bundle of twisted wires, and the second bundle of twisted wires extends spirally around the bundle of twisted wires so as to surround the first bundle of twisted wires. In order to locate the predetermined wire so that at least partial damage can be easily and easily detected, it is preferable that the predetermined wire be included in the second twisted wire. The rope may further include a synthetic resin cover to surround the second bundle of twisted wires. In this bundle of wires including the remaining wires and at least two predetermined wires, the structure is such that by applying at least one force and flexing to the rope before the remaining wires are at least partially damaged, local damage can occur, if it is perpendicular to In the longitudinal direction of the electric wire, the at least two predetermined electric wires are at least partially contacted with each other, and at least part of the remaining electric wires can be prevented from 'going to interfere with at least partial contact between the predetermined at least two electric wires' at The transfer of at least partial damage between the at least two wires will be maintained in order to reliably and easily detect the at least partial damage of the predetermined at least two wires. Since the method for detecting the damage of the rope includes the following steps: a magnetic field is generated in the bundle of ft springs and the leakage of the magnetic flux in the wires of the bundle is measured, so that the rope corresponding to the degree of leakage of the magnetic flux can be detected -9- (6) 200419036 A broken rope can be detected without contact even when the rope is moving. In this case, it is preferable that the magnetic flux extends longitudinally in the beam.
由於用以偵測上述繩索破損之設備包含以下部分：一 對磁心，可被磁化而在此束電線中產生一磁場，及一磁性 感應器，用以側量此束電線中之磁通量的漏洩，如此以致 於可偵測到對應於磁通量之漏洩程度之繩索破損情形，即 使當繩索在移動時，繩索的破損仍能在繩索與每一對磁心 與磁性感應器之間不接觸的情況下被偵測出來。在此情形 中，磁心最好在此束電線之縱向上可以彼此隔開，以便在 此束電線中產生呈縱向延伸磁通量，而此磁性感應器可以 測量出在縱向上磁心之間的一位置上之磁通量的漏洩。 關於本發明的其他目的、特徵與優點，於以下本發明 配合附圖的具體說明中，將會變得更加淸楚。Because the equipment used to detect the damage of the rope includes the following parts: a pair of magnetic cores that can be magnetized to generate a magnetic field in the bundle of wires, and a magnetic sensor to measure the leakage of magnetic flux in the bundle of wires, This makes it possible to detect the rope breakage corresponding to the degree of leakage of magnetic flux. Even when the rope is moving, the rope damage can still be detected without contact between the rope and each pair of cores and magnetic sensors. Measure it out. In this case, it is preferable that the magnetic cores can be separated from each other in the longitudinal direction of the bundle of wires so as to generate a longitudinally extending magnetic flux in the bundle of wires, and the magnetic sensor can measure a position between the cores in the longitudinal direction. Leakage of magnetic flux. Regarding other objects, features and advantages of the present invention, they will become more apparent in the following detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
【實施方式】 在圖7中，用來接收一繩索1 〇的滑輪5 a和5 b是被 裝設在車廂1之下部’該車廂是用來攜帶客人或負重，而 當車廂1承受了大約一半的安全工作負荷時，用以接收此 繩索的滑輪5 e是被安置在一砰錘2上方，該坪錘是用以 平衡此車廂1。用以接收繩索1 〇的滑輪5 c和5 d是被安 置在電梯垂直通路（電梯垂直通路）7的一頂端，而包含一 絞纜輪3 a的驅動裝置3是被安置在此電梯垂直通路7的 下部。本發明之繩索1 0是從一配置於電梯垂直通路7的 -10- (7) (7)200419036 頂端上之繩索固定架6a，延伸到車廂1下部的滑輪5 a和 5 b及電梯垂直通路7的頂端上的滑輪5 c，以致於繩索i 〇 可纏裹於此驅動裝置3的絞纜輪 3 a周圍。此繩索進一 步在電梯垂直通路7的頂端上的滑輪5 d及秤錘2的滑輪 5 e上延伸，並終止於電梯垂直通路7的頂端上之一繩索 固定架6d。 此繩索1 0是易彎曲的，並且在絞纜輪3 a和繩索的表 面塗層之間具有很大的摩擦係數，以致於繩索1 0具有較 長的操作壽命，且即使當此絞纜輪的直徑很小時，也能確 實地傳送一驅動力。例如，相較於先前技術的絞纜輪之直 徑，本發明中絞纜輪的直徑可能爲其三分之一到二分之一 。 因此，相較於先前技術之驅動裝置，本發明驅動裝置 的驅動力矩可爲其三分之一到二分之一，以致於此驅動裝 置的尺寸能被顯著地縮小。而且，位於在車廂1的下部、 秤錘2上方和電梯垂直通路7頂端處之滑輪直徑也會同 樣地減少，以致於可減少頂板高度（在最高樓層與電梯垂 直通路的天花板之間的距離）及一個凹處的深度（在最低樓 層與電梯垂直通路的凹處之間的距離）。 在圖1中，一合成樹脂的塗層15是被成形在一第一 結構1 2的外側及第二結構1 3上，而此第一結構是被安置 在此繩索1 〇的中心部分，第二結構1 3是被安置在第一結 構1 2的周圍。 例如，第一結構1 2的成形是藉由在核心2 3周圍扭轉 線串22，以形成一內部結構24，每一個線串是藉由扭轉 -11 - 200419036 ⑻ 彼此平行的金屬線2 1而形成的，而在內部結構2 4的之外 圍上形成一有機的金屬塗層25。 核心23可能由單一有 機金屬（樹脂），有機金屬（樹脂）的繩索，或藉由扭轉金屬 線所構成的線串而形成的。爲了獲得較長的使用壽命，由 樹脂所構成的核心23是較好的。在彼此相鄰的線串22之 間所形成的空隙則塡滿了此塗層25。 每一個第二結構1 3的形成是藉由扭轉彼此平行的金 屬線3 1和3 2，以形成一個外部結構3 3，並於該外部結構 3 3的外圍上形成一有機金屬塗層3 4。金屬線3 2是被安置 在此外部結構3 3的外圍。在此情形中，金屬線3 2的直徑 會大於這些金屬線2 1和3 1的直徑，或者每一個金屬線 3 2的強度會小於金屬線2 1和3 1的強度。 藉由施加張力到繩索1 〇上，會在第一結構1 2和每一 個繞著第一結構1 2扭轉的第二結構1 3之間產生一擠壓力 ，且藉由擠壓此繩索以緊靠滑輪和絞纜輪而在兩者之間產 生一徑向擠壓力。在繩索的每次通過滑輪和絞纜輪上時， 繩索會產生彎曲。在此實際操作的情況裡，會在第一結構 1 2與每一個第二結構1 3之間以及在金屬線2 1、3 1、3 2 之間會產生壓縮壓力，且在每一金屬線之間會產生一個撓 曲應力，而在金屬線之間會產生相互滑動。因此，藉由應 力變化及導致磨損的壓縮壓力之下，金屬線會產生至少局 部破損。在金屬線中藉由繩索撓曲所產生的應力會根據金 屬線與繩索徑向中心之徑向距離的增加以及金屬線直徑的 增加而增加。更且，在金屬線上的滑動會根據金屬線與繩 -12- 200419036 ⑼ 索徑向中心之徑向距離的增加而增加。換言之，徑向最外 面的金屬線會承受最嚴重的情況。 在此繩索中，將一塗層2 5插入第一結構的線串2 2之 間，且將一塗層3 4和此塗層2 5插入第二結構1 3之間， 以致於能防止配置在線串2 2間與第一結構1 2和第二結構 1 3之間的金屬線產生直接接觸。大致上彼此平行的金屬 線2 1在線串22中會彼此直接接觸，而大致上彼此平行的 金屬線3 1與3 2在第二結構1 3中會彼此直接接觸。也就 是說，以一個廣闊的角度來看，在金屬線之間形成的並非 點接觸而是線接觸。因此，藉由施加張力到繩索上而在 金屬線的表面之間產生之壓力會被減少，如此可抑制由於 磨損所導致的操作壽命之減少。另一方面，在任何情形中 ，金屬線是藉由在一長操作期間重複撓曲此繩索而導致至 少局部破損。在此情形中，相較於金屬線2 1和3 1，由於 安置於繩索外圍的金屬線3 2具有較大的直徑或較低的強 度，所以安置於繩索外圍的金屬線3 2會在金屬線2 1與 3 1之前產生至少局部破損，而不管分佈於材質強度與製 造中之數據爲何。換言之，不管情形如何，在直徑或強 度上’金屬線3 2均能顯者地與金屬線2 1和j 1區別出來 〇 在此情形下，假如考慮到磨損，使得金屬線3 2能夠 在疲勞強度中適當地與金屬線2 1和3 1區別出來的話，則 可以了解一項關係，就是在繩索的殘餘操作壽命與金屬線 2 1和3 1破裂之前金屬線3 2破損的數目之間的關係。因 -13- (10) 200419036 此，藉由測量安置在此繩索外圍的破損金屬線3 2的數目 ，就可以測量出繩索的強度。也就是說，能夠輕易了解應 該替換繩索的時機。[Embodiment] In FIG. 7, the pulleys 5a and 5b used to receive a rope 10 are installed under the carriage 1 'the carriage is used to carry guests or load, and when the carriage 1 bears about At half of the safe working load, the pulley 5e used to receive the rope is placed above a sledge hammer 2, which is used to balance the carriage 1. The pulleys 5 c and 5 d for receiving the rope 10 are placed on the top of the vertical passageway of the elevator (elevator vertical passageway) 7, and the driving device 3 including a winch 3a is placed on the vertical passageway of the elevator. The lower part of 7. The rope 10 of the present invention extends from a rope fixing frame 6a on the top of the vertical passageway 7 of the elevator 7 to the pulleys 5a and 5b on the lower part of the carriage 1 and the vertical passageway of the elevator. The pulley 5 c on the top of 7 is such that the rope i 〇 can be wrapped around the winch pulley 3 a of the driving device 3. This rope further extends on the pulley 5 d on the top of the elevator vertical passage 7 and the pulley 5 e on the scale 2 and terminates in a rope fixing frame 6 d on the top of the elevator vertical passage 7. This rope 10 is flexible and has a large coefficient of friction between the rope pulley 3 a and the surface coating of the rope, so that the rope 10 has a long operating life, and even when the rope pulley With a small diameter, it can reliably transmit a driving force. For example, compared with the diameter of the prior art winch, the diameter of the winch in the present invention may be one-third to one-half of the diameter. Therefore, compared with the driving device of the prior art, the driving torque of the driving device of the present invention can be one-third to one-half thereof, so that the size of the driving device can be significantly reduced. Moreover, the diameter of the pulleys located at the lower part of the carriage 1, above the weighing weight 2 and at the top of the elevator vertical passage 7 will also be reduced, so that the height of the top plate (the distance between the highest floor and the ceiling of the elevator vertical passage) can be reduced. And the depth of a recess (the distance between the lowest floor and the recess of the elevator vertical path). In FIG. 1, a coating 15 of a synthetic resin is formed on the outer side of a first structure 12 and the second structure 13, and the first structure is disposed on the center portion of the rope 10. The two structures 13 are arranged around the first structure 12. For example, the first structure 12 is formed by twisting the string 22 around the core 2 3 to form an internal structure 24. Each string is twisted by -11-200419036 平行 parallel metal wires 2 1 and An organic metal coating 25 is formed on the periphery of the internal structure 24. The core 23 may be formed of a single organic metal (resin), an organic metal (resin) rope, or a string formed by twisting a metal wire. In order to obtain a long service life, the core 23 made of resin is preferable. The gap formed between the adjacent string 22 is filled with the coating 25. Each second structure 1 3 is formed by twisting the metal wires 3 1 and 3 2 parallel to each other to form an external structure 3 3 and forming an organic metal coating 3 4 on the periphery of the external structure 3 3. . The metal wires 32 are placed on the periphery of this external structure 33. In this case, the diameter of the metal wires 32 may be larger than the diameters of the metal wires 21 and 31, or the strength of each of the metal wires 32 may be smaller than that of the metal wires 21 and 31. By applying tension to the rope 10, a squeezing force is generated between the first structure 12 and each of the second structures 13 twisted around the first structure 12, and by squeezing the rope to Adjacent to the pulley and the winch pulley, a radial compression force is generated between the two. The rope bends each time it passes through the pulleys and winches. In this practical operation, compressive pressure will be generated between the first structure 12 and each second structure 13 and between the metal wires 2 1, 3 1, 3 2 and each metal wire There will be a flexural stress between them, and the metal wires will slide against each other. As a result, the metal wire is subject to at least partial damage due to changes in stress and compression pressure that causes wear. The stress generated by the bending of the wire in the metal wire increases according to the increase in the radial distance between the metal wire and the radial center of the rope and the increase in the diameter of the wire. Moreover, the sliding on the wire will increase according to the increase in the radial distance between the wire and the radial center of the rope. In other words, the radially outermost metal wire will withstand the worst. In this rope, a coating layer 25 is inserted between the strings 2 of the first structure, and a coating layer 3 4 and this coating layer 25 are inserted between the second structures 13 so that the arrangement can be prevented A direct contact is made between the string 22 and the metal wire between the first structure 12 and the second structure 13. The metal wires 21, which are substantially parallel to each other, will directly contact each other in the string 22, and the metal wires 3 1 and 32, which are substantially parallel to each other, will directly contact each other in the second structure 13. In other words, from a broad perspective, it is not a point contact but a line contact that is formed between metal wires. Therefore, the pressure generated between the surfaces of the metal wires by applying tension to the rope can be reduced, which can suppress a reduction in operating life due to wear. On the other hand, in any case, the wire is at least partially broken by repeatedly flexing the rope during a long operation. In this case, compared to the metal wires 21 and 31, since the metal wire 3 2 placed on the periphery of the rope has a larger diameter or lower strength, the metal wire 3 2 placed on the periphery of the rope will be in the metal At least partial damage occurred before the lines 21 and 31 regardless of the data distributed in the material strength and manufacturing. In other words, regardless of the situation, the 'metal wire 3 2 can be clearly distinguished from the metal wires 2 1 and j 1 in diameter or strength. In this case, if the wear is considered, the metal wire 3 2 can be fatigued. If the strength is properly distinguished from the wires 2 1 and 31, then one can understand a relationship between the residual operating life of the rope and the number of broken wires 3 2 before the wires 2 1 and 31 break. relationship. Because -13- (10) 200419036 Therefore, the strength of the rope can be measured by measuring the number of broken metal wires 32 placed on the periphery of the rope. In other words, it is easy to know when the rope should be replaced.
圖2是一個剖面圖，顯示偵測金屬線3 2的破損之原 理。在圖2中，爲方便說明，繩索的塗層1 5和3 4被想像 地移除，而使其金屬線得以曝露。破損偵測器5 0包含兩 個沿著繩索配置的磁性激發器5 1及一個用以偵測繩索的 磁通量之漏洩的磁性裝置。藉由供給此激發器5 1能量， 在此激發器5 1之間所產生出來的磁力，會經過繩索的塗 層而流入金屬線3 2中，以產生一磁通量5 3。當在金屬線 3 2中不存在破損時，在繩索中的磁阻會是固定不變的， 以致會有磁通量從此兩個激發器5 1之一流到另一個激發 器。Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing the principle of detecting breakage of the metal wire 32. In FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, the coatings 15 and 34 of the rope are imaginarily removed so that the metal wires thereof are exposed. The damage detector 50 includes two magnetic actuators 51 arranged along the rope and a magnetic device for detecting leakage of magnetic flux from the rope. By supplying energy to the exciter 51, the magnetic force generated between the exciters 51 will pass through the coating of the rope and flow into the metal wire 32 to generate a magnetic flux 53. When there is no breakage in the metal wire 32, the magnetic resistance in the rope will be fixed, so that a magnetic flux will flow from one of the two exciters 51 to the other exciter.
假如如圖所示，在繩索外圍上的金屬線3 2中存在有 一破損部32a的話，磁阻會在此破損部32a中增加，以致 於一磁通量5 3 1會流出繩索。流出繩索外的漏洩磁通量 5 3 1之量會與磁阻的程度呈正比，也就是說與破損的金屬 線3 2呈正比。藉由以磁性裝置5 2測量此漏洩磁通量5 3 1 ，不僅可以知道金屬線之破損，還可以知道破損金屬線的 數目。假如未在此繩索外圍上之金屬線3 2存在破損的話 ，則磁通量會通過安置在破損的金屬線外部之金屬線，以 致於流出繩索外的漏洩磁通量的量會減少。因此難以磁性 裝置5 2來偵測破損。 在本發明的繩索中，如上所述，當金屬線在一段長時 -14 - (11) (11)200419036 間使用後開始破損時，此破損會發生在繩索外圍上之金屬 線3 2，如此位於繩索外圍上之金屬線的破損就可以磁性 方式偵測出來。而且，破損金屬線的數目可以從磁通量之 漏洩量中測量出來。繩索之殘留強度和繩索殘留強度之未 來變動均能夠根據破損金屬線的數目和繩索殘留強度之紀 錄資料上而估算出來，以致於能輕易決定出繩索替換的時 機。 圖3顯示出彎曲次數與繩索強度之間的關係，且繩索 強度在使用期間是根據彎曲次數的增加而逐漸減少。當此 彎曲次數增加至一彎由次數N 1，以致於金屬 3 2開始破 損時，繩索的強度會快速減少。之後，當金屬線2 1和3 2 開始破損（在彎曲次數N2)時，繩索的強度會突然減少。 根據破損金屬線3 2的數目，就可以知道繩索強度。因此 ，當此破損金屬線3 2之數目達到一預定値時，繩索的壽 命就結束了。 圖4顯示了這些操作的一流程圖，且圖3之關係和使 用頻率等資料均被紀錄下來。從上述資料及藉由圖2所示 劣化測量法所偵測出之破損金屬線之數目，可以測量出繩 索的殘餘強度。另一方面，當金屬線已經開始破損時，繩 索未來可連續安全使用之彎曲次數係可根據破損金屬線的 數目而決定，且彎曲次數之可接受的數目則藉由使用頻率 而轉變成天數’以致於可輸出時所強度、繩索未來可使用 的時間周期、繩索替換時機等。 圖5顯示本發明另一實施例的繩索，而在圖1和圖5 •15- (12) 200419036 之間共同使用的參數分別標示相同的元件。在圖1和圖5 之間的不同乃是在金屬線2 1和3 1破損之前的金屬線3 2 之破損數目被減少了。其他的結構與圖1相同，因此省略 相關的說明。在此情形中，增加了〔強度/剖面積〕的比 例。另一方面，預先可破損的金屬線3 2之數目則被減少 ，且須要求圖3所示之資料的準確性，然而，還是可以獲 得同樣的效果。If there is a damaged portion 32a in the metal wire 32 on the periphery of the rope as shown in the figure, the magnetic resistance will increase in this damaged portion 32a, so that a magnetic flux 5 31 will flow out of the rope. The amount of leakage magnetic flux 5 3 1 flowing out of the rope is proportional to the degree of magnetic resistance, that is, proportional to the broken metal wire 32. By measuring the leakage magnetic flux 5 3 1 with the magnetic device 5 2, not only the damage of the metal wires but also the number of broken metal wires can be known. If the metal wire 32 on the periphery of the rope is not damaged, the magnetic flux will pass through the metal wire placed outside the broken wire, so that the amount of leakage magnetic flux flowing out of the rope will be reduced. It is therefore difficult to detect damage by the magnetic device 52. In the rope of the present invention, as described above, when the metal wire is broken after being used for a long period of time between -14-(11) (11) 200419036, the damage will occur to the metal wire 3 2 on the periphery of the rope, and so on The breakage of the metal wire on the periphery of the rope can be detected magnetically. Moreover, the number of broken metal wires can be measured from the leakage of magnetic flux. Both the residual strength of the rope and the future changes in the residual strength of the rope can be estimated from the number of broken wires and the historical data of the residual strength of the rope, so that the timing of the replacement of the rope can be easily determined. Figure 3 shows the relationship between the number of bends and the strength of the rope, and the strength of the rope gradually decreases during use as the number of bends increases. When the number of bends is increased to the number of bends N 1, so that the metal 3 2 starts to break, the strength of the rope will decrease rapidly. After that, when the wires 2 1 and 3 2 start to break (at the number of bends N2), the strength of the rope suddenly decreases. From the number of broken wires 32, the strength of the rope can be known. Therefore, when the number of the broken metal wires 32 reaches a predetermined threshold, the life of the rope ends. Fig. 4 shows a flowchart of these operations, and the relationship of Fig. 3 and data such as the frequency of use are recorded. From the above data and the number of broken metal wires detected by the degradation measurement method shown in Fig. 2, the residual strength of the rope can be measured. On the other hand, when the metal wire has started to break, the number of times that the rope can be continuously and safely used in the future can be determined according to the number of broken metal wires, and the acceptable number of bending times is converted into days by using the frequency So that the strength when it can be output, the time period that the rope can be used in the future, the timing of rope replacement, etc. FIG. 5 shows a rope according to another embodiment of the present invention, and parameters commonly used between FIGS. 1 and 5 • 15- (12) 200419036 respectively indicate the same components. The difference between FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 is that the number of broken wires 3 2 before the broken wires 2 1 and 31 is reduced. The other structures are the same as those of FIG. 1, and therefore the descriptions are omitted. In this case, the ratio of [strength / cross-sectional area] is increased. On the other hand, the number of pre-breakable metal wires 32 is reduced, and the accuracy of the data shown in Fig. 3 is required. However, the same effect can be obtained.
圖6是一剖面圖’顯不本發明另一實施例的繩索，而 在圖1和圖6之間共同使用的參數分別標示相同的元件。 在圖1和圖6之間的不同乃是在於作爲核心的第一結構 1 2包含線串22及塗層2 5，在每一線串中，金屬線2 1圍 繞著核心2 3而扭轉；且在於會從第二結構1 3中刪除掉塗 層。其他的結構與圖1相同，因此省略相關的說明。在 此情形下，在第一結構1 2中的金屬線2 1能夠平行地彼此 接觸，以致於可以延長繩索的壽命時間。而且，由於第二 結構1 3並不需要被塗上塗層，所以能縮短製造過程。在 此情形下，塗層1 5被插入在相接的線串之間。另一方面 ’塗層1 5和內部結構1 3需要藉由一黏著劑而互相黏附起 來。金屬線3 2會在其他金屬線2 1和3 1破損以前產生破 損，以偵測繩索的劣化，以致於可獲得同樣的效果。 順帶一提，在上述的實施例中’雖然可預先破損的金 屬線3 2是被安置在第二結構之外圍上’可預先破損的金 屬線被安置在第一結構1 2的金屬線2 1之一部分上，或是 在此第二結構1 3中之金屬線3 1之一部分上，以致於達成 -16- (13) 200419036 此目的。 雖然本發明已經做了上述的具體說明，但是對於熟知 lit項技術者來說，本發明並未被限制於此，且仍可能在不 胃S本發明之精神和以下的申請專利範圍中前提下，完成 不同的改變和修改。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1是一剖面圖，係沿著橫貫於一繩索縱向的虛構平 面來顯示本發明之繩索； 圖2是一剖面圖，係沿著平行於一繩索縱向的虛構平 面來顯示本發明之繩索及破損偵測裝置； 圖3的圖表顯示在彎曲次數和每一個破損的金屬線與 繩索的一張力強度之間的關係； 圖4是一流程圖，顯示用以偵測繩索破損的過程； 圖5是一剖面圖，係沿著橫貫於一繩索縱向的虛構平 面來顯示本發明之另一繩索； 圖6是一剖面圖，係沿著橫貫於一繩索縱向的虛構平 面來顯示本發明之另一繩索； 圖7是一電梯的槪略傾斜投影圖，其中使用本發明之 繩索。 主要元件對照表 1 車廂 2 秤錘 -17 - (14) 200419036 5a 5b 5c 5d 5e 7 10 12 13 2 1 22 23 24 25 3 132 3 2a 3 3 34 5 0 5 1 52 5 3 5 3 1 驅動裝置 絞纜輪 滑輪 電梯垂直通道 繩索 第一結構 第二結構 金屬線 線束 核心 內部結構 塗層 金屬線 破損部 外部結構 塗層 破損偵測器 磁性激發器 磁性裝置 磁通量 磁通量Fig. 6 is a sectional view 'showing a rope according to another embodiment of the present invention, and parameters commonly used between Figs. 1 and 6 respectively indicate the same elements. The difference between FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 is that the first structure 12 as the core includes a string 22 and a coating 25, and in each string, the metal wire 21 is twisted around the core 23; and The reason is that the coating is removed from the second structure 13. The other structures are the same as those in FIG. 1, and thus the descriptions are omitted. In this case, the metal wires 21 in the first structure 12 can contact each other in parallel, so that the life time of the rope can be extended. Moreover, since the second structure 13 does not need to be coated, the manufacturing process can be shortened. In this case, the coating layer 15 is inserted between the adjoining line strings. On the other hand, the coating 15 and the internal structure 13 need to be adhered to each other by an adhesive. The metal wire 3 2 is damaged before the other metal wires 21 and 31 are broken, so that the deterioration of the rope is detected so that the same effect can be obtained. Incidentally, in the above-mentioned embodiment, 'though pre-breakable metal wires 3 2 are placed on the periphery of the second structure' pre-breakable metal wires are placed on the metal wires 2 1 of the first structure 1 2 Part of it, or part of the metal wire 31 in this second structure 13, so that -16- (13) 200419036 is achieved.
