The application belongs to the technical field of steel
wire rope detection, and specifically discloses a marine steel
wire rope detection device, which comprises a needle bearing and a
rotating drum rotatably arranged in the needle bearing, further comprises a variable-
pitch adjusting mechanism symmetrically arranged in the
rotating drum, a radial synchronous adapting mechanism symmetrically arranged outside the
rotating drum, and an external gear ring threadedly arranged at the front end of the rotating drum, each variable-
pitch adjusting mechanism comprises a plurality of universal bull's eye wheels arranged along the axial direction of the rotating drum, and a distance measuring sensor for detecting the relative position change between the adjacent universal bull's eye wheels is arranged between the adjacent universal bull's eye wheels. The radial synchronous adapting mechanism is used for pressing the bull's eye wheels into the grooves between the strands of the steel
wire rope, and through the axial relative movement between the device and the steel wire
rope, each bull's eye wheel is limited by the support of the needle bearing and rotates adaptively along the spiral track of the groove between the strands, and any uneven change of the gap between the strands will be directly converted into the measurable
relative displacement of the bull's eye wheel in the axial position, so that the automatic detection of the lay length parameter is realized.
