The invention provides a method for replacing crane steel wire ropes. The method comprises the following steps that (a), a lifting hook is seated on the ground, and each of the two sides of the lifting hook is provided with a steel
wire rope cylinder of a new steel
wire rope; (b), a
winch mechanism drives a steel
wire rope winding drum to rotate to release old steel wire ropes; (c), two steel wireropes between a steel wire
rope balance frame and the lifting hook are
cut off, and connecting steel rings are installed on the end surfaces of the old steel wire ropes and the new steel wire ropes;(d), a steel wire
rope connecting buckle is used for connecting the new steel wire ropes and the old steel wire ropes, the steel wire
rope connecting buckle comprises a fixing buckle and a rotating buckle, the fixing buckle is connected with the new steel wire rope connecting steel ring, and the rotating buckle is connected with the old steel wire rope connecting steel ring; (e), the
winch mechanism is driven to enable the old steel wire ropes to pull the new steel wire ropes to pass through a lifting hook
pulley, namely a fixed
pulley, for a plurality of circulations until the new steel wireropes are pulled to the position of the steel wire rope winding drum; and (f), the steel wire rope connecting buckle is disassembled, the rope head of the new steel wire rope steel ring is
cut off, the rope heads of the old steel wires are put down to the ground, at the moment, the old steel wire ropes are completely detached from the
winch system, and the new steel wire ropes are guided into thewinch
system.
