AI Technical Summary
Traditional steel wire ropes used in cranes have problems such as low payload, insufficient strength, poor bending resistance, short lifespan, and high maintenance costs. High-performance ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cables are not wear-resistant, have poor UV resistance, and suffer from large strength loss at high temperatures.
The cable is woven with multiple strands of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, and coated with a wear-resistant layer and an oil layer on the outside of the cable. The wear-resistant layer is made of a mixture of water-based polyurethane and lubricant, and the oil is chemical fiber oil. This structure reduces yarn friction and improves UV resistance.
It improves the bending fatigue resistance of the cable, reduces friction and strength loss under high temperature, extends service life and reduces maintenance costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cables, in particular to a cable resistant to bending fatigue. Background Art
[0002] In the application field of cranes, traditional wire ropes often face problems such as low payload, insufficient strength, poor bending resistance, short life, and high maintenance costs, which to a certain extent limit the performance and efficiency of cranes during operation.
[0003] High-performance chemical fiber cables are characterized by light weight, easy operation and low maintenance costs.
[0004] Compared to steel wire ropes, conventional ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) cables suffer from poor abrasion resistance, UV resistance, and deformation when squeezed. During use, UHMWPE fibers experience significant strength loss at high temperatures due to increased friction between yarns in the cable's curved sections. Therefore, it is necessary to develop UHMWPE cables that are resistant to bending fatigue. The following proposes a solution to these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cable resistant to bending fatigue, which solves the problems raised by the above background technology.
[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A bending fatigue-resistant cable comprises a cable body, wherein the cable body comprises a plurality of sub-ropes, the cable body being woven from a plurality of sub-ropes, the cable body being provided with a wear-resistant layer on the outside, the sub-ropes comprising a plurality of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, the sub-ropes being woven from a plurality of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, and the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers being provided with an oil layer on the outside.
[0008] Preferably, the oil layer accounts for 3-5% of the mass of the cable body.
[0009] Preferably, the oil is a chemical fiber oil.
[0010] Preferably, the wear-resistant layer accounts for 13-17% of the mass of the cable body.
[0011] Preferably, the wear-resistant layer is made of water-based polyurethane, lubricant and water, and the mass ratio of the water-based polyurethane, lubricant and water is 1:0.1:2.
[0012] Preferably, the linear density of the cable body is 57 g / m, and the lay length of the cable body is 85 mm.
[0013] Preferably, the sub-rope is a 3-strand structure, and the cable body is a 12-strand structure.
[0014] Beneficial effects: By coating the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers with oil, the friction between the yarns when the cable is bent can be reduced, thereby reducing the problem of large strength loss of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers under high temperature conditions due to the increased friction between the yarns in the bending section of the cable and the increase in temperature. By coating the outside of the cable body with a wear-resistant layer, the wear-resistant and UV-resistant properties of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cable can be improved.

[0018] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a bending fatigue-resistant cable includes a cable body, characterized in that the cable body includes a plurality of sub-ropes, the cable body is woven by multiple sub-ropes, the sub-rope adopts a 3-strand structure, and the sub-rope is woven into a 3×12-strand structure of the cable body, the linear density of the cable body is 57g / m, and the braiding pitch of the cable body is 85mm.
[0019] The outside of the cable body is provided with a wear-resistant layer, which accounts for 15% of the mass of the cable body. The wear-resistant layer adopts water-based polyurethane, lubricant and water, and the mass ratio of water-based polyurethane, lubricant and water is 1:0.1:2. By coating the wear-resistant layer on the outside of the cable body, the wear-resistant and UV-resistant performance of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cable can be improved.
[0020] The sub-rope includes several ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, which are woven together. An oil layer is provided on the outside of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, and the oil layer accounts for 3% of the mass of the cable body. The oil agent uses chemical fiber oil. By coating the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers with oil, the friction between the yarns when the cable is bent can be reduced, thereby reducing the problem of greater strength loss of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers under high temperature conditions due to the increased friction between the yarns in the bending section of the cable and the increase in temperature.

[0022]
[0023] Conclusion: For cables of the same diameter, 3-strand cables offer the best bending fatigue resistance, but they have low strength and can twist during use, resulting in strength loss. 8-strand and 12-strand cables, while strong, have poor bending fatigue resistance. 3x12-strand cables do not twist during use, have similar strength to 8-strand and 12-strand cables, and offer nearly the same bending fatigue resistance as 3-strand cables. Therefore, after comparative experiments, we selected the optimal 3x12-strand cable for use. Furthermore, cables recoated with oil also exhibit superior performance compared to uncoated cables.
