Background art:

the existing steel wire rope has larger strength and higher durability, but has small elasticity, cannot resist impact load, is hard, cannot bear sharp bending and kinking, is difficult to hold in operation, is easy to slip off from hands, sometimes has broken steel wire ends on the surface of the rope to leak out, and is very easy to prick hands. In addition, the density of the steel cable is high, the weight of the steel cable is heavy, and inconvenience and even danger are often brought when the steel cable is used and operated, so that in some application scenes of high-strength steel cables, a substitute of the steel cable is needed to be found.

In order to solve the problems, the research of replacing a steel wire rope with a high polymer material rope is carried out at present. The UHMWPE material has the advantages of smaller density, extremely high specific strength and specific modulus, good chemical stability, ultraviolet resistance, corrosion resistance and the like, and is widely applied to the bulletproof protection fields of military, public security, frontier defense, armed police and the like and the civil field of high-performance rope netting gear and the like. However, although the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope has high tensile strength, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope is soft and has poor wear resistance, so that the rope made of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope has defects in rigidity, bending resistance and wear resistance, and the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope cannot completely replace the existing steel wire rope in special occasions such as a cable-stayed steel cable. In order to solve the problem of wear resistance, chinese patents CN210596791U, CN111962316A, CN112323247A, etc. propose solutions, which mainly include adding a wear-resistant layer or a lubricant to the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope, but adding conventional wear-resistant materials will have a large effect on the tensile strength of the rope, and adding a lubricant will reduce the cohesive force between the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, thereby adversely affecting the performance of the rope. In addition, the insufficient bending resistance causes the application scene of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope to be limited.

In order to solve the technical problems, the invention prepares the rope with light weight, high strength, wear resistance and high toughness.

The invention content is as follows:

the invention aims to provide a composite rope, which aims to overcome the defects of the existing rope in the background technology and prepare the rope with light weight, high strength, wear resistance and high toughness.

The invention provides a composite rope, which is characterized in that: the rope is formed by weaving or twisting rope yarns and a supporting framework, the rope yarns are made of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fibers, and the supporting framework comprises a plurality of ropes and is dispersed in the rope. .

For the convenience of description, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is hereinafter referred to by its abbreviation UHMWPE.

The rope can be divided into four-stage structures of rope, rope yarn, yarn and fiber, wherein the UHMWPE fiber and the UHMWPE split fiber are the fourth-stage structure, namely the base material of the rope yarn.

In the present invention, each base level can be twisted or braided to obtain a higher level structure, for example, fibers can be twisted or braided to obtain yarns, yarns can be twisted or braided to obtain rope yarns, and rope yarns can be twisted or braided to obtain a rope. In addition, if the weaving mode is adopted, each basic layer is woven.

For the fourth stage structure fiber, the fiber may be an UHMWPE fiber or an UHMWPE split fiber.

For the third stage structure yarn, the yarn may be a pure UHMWPE fiber yarn made only of UHMWPE fibers; or a pure UHMWPE split fiber yarn made only from UHMWPE split fibers; or a hybrid yarn made of UHMWPE fibers and UHMWPE split fibers.

For the second level structure yarns, the yarns may be pure UHMWPE fibre yarns made only of pure UHMWPE fibre yarns; or pure UHMWPE split fiber yarns made only from pure UHMWPE split fiber yarns; or a mixed rope yarn made of all mixed yarns; or a mixed rope yarn made of at least two yarns of pure UHMWPE fiber yarn, pure UHMWPE split fiber yarn and mixed yarn.

For the rope with the first-level structure, the rope yarns of the rope are at least two of pure UHMWPE fiber rope yarns, pure UHMWPE split fiber rope yarns and mixed rope yarns; or a rope made entirely of mixed yarns. In addition, in actual use, the number of the hierarchical structures of the ropes can be further adjusted according to actual conditions such as the thickness of the ropes.

Through the hierarchical structure, the rope yarns of the finally manufactured rope are made of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers and the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene split fibers, so that the wear resistance of the UHMWPE rope can be improved, and the tensile strength of the rope is not reduced as much as possible.

The material of the rope yarns of the invention includes, but is not limited to, UHMWPE fibers and UHMWPE split fibers, and other functional additives or functional materials can be added into the rope yarns to further enhance the performance of the rope.

Furthermore, in the preferable rope structure, the rope yarns at the periphery of the rope are pure UHMWPE split fiber rope yarns, and the rope yarns at the inner part are pure UHMWPE fiber rope yarns. The wear resistance of the UHMWPE split fibers and the high strength performance of the UHMWPE fibers can be fully exerted by adopting the mode.

Further, it is preferred that the yarns used in the rope are all mixed yarns made of UHMWPE fibers and UHMWPE split fibers, and mixing the two fibers from the most basic level results in a more homogeneous rope.

Further, the fibers used in the rope may be composite fibers made by wrapping a bundle of UHMWPE fibers with UHMWPE split fibers, and yarns, ropes and ropes are gradually made from the composite fibers.

Furthermore, the yarns used in the rope may be hybrid yarns made of yarns of pure UHMWPE fibre covered by UHMWPE split fibres, in such a way that the amount of UHMWPE split fibres used is reduced and the effect of the UHMWPE split fibres on the strength of the rope is reduced compared to the way described in the preceding paragraph. On the other hand, if the surface of the rope yarns is coated with the UHMWPE split fibers, the UHMWPE split fibers are in the form of a film, and the contact area between the rope yarns is reduced, which results in a reduction in the cohesive force between the rope yarns. Therefore, it is preferable to use the UHMWPE split fibers to coat the pure UHMWPE yarns at this yarn level to form a hybrid yarn.

The surface of the fiber is coated with the UHMWPE split fiber, so that the wear resistance of the split fiber and the high strength performance of the UHMWPE fiber can be utilized to the maximum extent, the wear resistance of the final rope can be further improved, and the high strength performance of the UHMWPE rope can be maintained.

Preferably, the rope yarn is made of at least three yarns.

Preferably, the supporting framework can be made of materials with certain hardness and bending resistance, such as PET, PP, PA, PE, PPS, epoxy resin, metal and the like.

Compare in single thicker support chassis, many thinner support chassis dispersion can make support chassis and rope yarn distribute more evenly in the inside mode of rope, make simultaneously between support chassis and the rope yarn cohesion inseparabler, can effectively avoid slipping between support chassis and the rope yarn.

Preferably, the mass ratio of the supporting framework in the rope is 15-20%.

The modulus and the occupation ratio of the supporting framework are flexibly adjusted according to the use scene, and the invention is not particularly limited to this.

Preferably, the diameter of the supporting framework is 1-4 mm.

Preferably, the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fibers account for 50-90% of the mixed yarn by mass. The wear resistance and creep resistance of the rope can be improved by the high content of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fibers.

Preferably, the rope yarn has a diameter of 1-3 mm.

Preferably, the diameter of the hybrid yarn is 0.1 to 2 mm.

Preferably, the total content of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fibers and the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers in the rope is 60-95%.

Preferably, the fineness of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fiber is 800-.

Preferably, the diameter of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber yarn is 0.1-1 mm.

Preferably, the titer of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is 300-1600D.

Preferably, the diameter of the rope is 4-15 mm.

Preferably, the breaking strength of the rope is 20-40 KN.

Further, the invention also provides a composite cable, which is characterized in that: the cable is formed from a plurality of individual ropes as described above in a further twisted or braided manner.

Preferably, the number of strands of the cable produced by twisting is 3, 4, 6, etc.

Preferably, the number of strands of the cable produced by weaving is 8, 12, 16, 24, etc.

Preferably, the diameter of the cable is 15-50 mm.

Preferably, the breaking strength of the cable is 100-900 KN.

The cable can replace the steel wire rope in practical application.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:

the composite rope is formed by compounding three materials, namely ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fibers, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers and a supporting framework, wherein the supporting framework provides bending resistance, the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers improve the strength of the rope, and the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fibers strengthen the wear resistance of the rope. Because the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene split fibers have excellent wear resistance and the strength is close to that of the UHMWPE fibers, the UHMWPE split fibers and the UHMWPE fibers are mixed and braided into the rope, the wear resistance of the rope can be effectively increased, and the high strength of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene rope can be kept as far as possible, which is difficult to achieve by other wear-resistant fibers. The rope with light weight, high strength, wear resistance and high toughness is prepared by compounding the three materials and utilizing the properties of the materials.

According to the scheme provided by the invention, a cable is prepared by twisting or weaving a plurality of ropes, and the cable can replace a steel wire rope in practical application. Compared with a steel wire rope, the cable rope provided by the invention greatly reduces the weight of the rope, and improves the convenience and safety in operation and construction.
