Abstract:
Provided is a wire rope flaw detector including a magnetizer configured to form a main magnetic flux in a part of a wire rope in a longitudinal direction thereof. A plurality of search coils are configured to detect a leakage flux that occurs from a damaged part of the wire rope in a segment in which the main magnetic flux is formed. A control unit is configured to detect induced voltages generated in the plurality of search coils. Further, the control unit is configured to superimpose voltage waveforms of the plurality of search coils on one another while shifting the voltage waveforms by a time calculated based on an interval between the plurality of search coils adjacent to each other and on a relative moving speed of the wire rope with respect to the magnetizer, to thereby amplify a peak of the induced voltage.

Claim (Index 1):
A wire rope flaw detector, comprising:\n a magnetizer, which is configured to form a main magnetic flux in a part of a wire rope in a longitudinal direction of the wire rope; a plurality of search coils, which are arranged with an interval so as to be spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the wire rope, and are configured to detect a leakage flux that occurs from a damaged part of the wire rope in a segment in which the main magnetic flux is formed; and a control unit, which is configured to detect induced voltages generated in the plurality of search coils, wherein: the plurality of search coils are adjacent to each other with an interval of a half of a pitch between indentations of strands of the wire rope due to twisting of the strands; and the control unit is configured to superimpose voltage waveforms of the plurality of search coils on one another while shifting the voltage waveforms by a time calculated based on an interval between the plurality of search coils adjacent to each other and on a relative moving speed of the wire rope with respect to the magnetizer, to thereby amplify a peak of the induced voltage.
