Abstract:
A magnetizer configured to form a main magnetic flux path so as to include a set interval in an axial direction of a wire rope includes a first pole piece and a second pole piece, which are arranged so as to sandwich the set interval therebetween, each have a U-shaped cross section which is formed so as to surround the wire rope in a circumferential direction of the wire rope for about a ⅔ turn without coming into contact with the wire rope. When the wire rope is magnetized by the magnetizer, a leakage magnetic flux generated from the wire rope damaged portion is detected by a magnetic sensor.

Claim (Index 1):
A wire rope flaw detector, comprising:\n a magnetizer configured to form a main magnetic flux path so as to include a set interval in an axial direction of a wire rope; and a magnetic sensor, which is arranged in the set interval, and is configured to detect a leakage magnetic flux generated from a damaged portion of the wire rope when the wire rope is magnetized by the magnetizer, wherein the magnetizer includes a first pole piece and a second pole piece, which are arranged so as to sandwich the set interval therebetween, and each have a U-shaped cross section which is formed so as to surround the wire rope in a circumferential direction of the wire rope for about a \u2154 turn without coming into contact with the wire rope, wherein a length of the first pole piece and a length of the second pole piece in the axial direction of the wire rope are equal to each other and correspond to a length in the axial direction of the wire rope that includes strands wound in the circumferential direction of the wire rope for a \u00bc turn or longer, and a distance between the first pole piece and the second pole piece is set to an odd multiple of the length of each of the first pole piece and the second pole piece in the axial direction of the wire rope, and wherein the length of the first pole piece and the length of the second pole piece in the axial direction of the wire rope are equal to each other and correspond to a length in the axial direction of the wire rope that includes the strands wound in the circumferential direction of the wire rope for the \u00bc turn or longer and a  1 / 2  turn or shorter.
