Cable section and method for splicing a cable which forms a person transporting wire cable

Abstract

A rope portion of a rope that forms a person transporting wire rope having a diameter d, in particular of an endless rope, having at least one splice which is embodied as a long splice and which has a plurality of stranded longitudinal elements, in particular strands, at least one of which has at least one insertion end which at least portion-wise is inserted, in particular in place of a core, between other longitudinal elements, wherein the person transporting wire rope and/or the stranded longitudinal elements are at least largely free of a sheathing that at least partially encompasses the person transporting wire rope and/or at least one stranded longitudinal element.

1 . A rope portion of a rope that forms a person transporting wire rope having a diameter d, in particular of an endless rope, having at least one splice which is embodied as a long splice and which has a plurality of stranded longitudinal elements, in particular strands, at least one of which has at least one insertion end which is inserted, in particular in place of a core, at least portion-wise between other longitudinal elements, wherein the person transporting wire rope and/or the stranded longitudinal elements are at least largely free of a sheathing that at least partially encompasses the person transporting wire rope and/or at least one stranded longitudinal element, wherein the insertion end has a length of at most 50*d. 
     
     
         2 . The rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal elements have in each case at least one insertion end having a length of at most 50*d. 
     
     
         3 . The rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an overall length of regions having insertion ends is at most 100*N*d, wherein N is a number of longitudinal elements of the rope. 
     
     
         4 . The rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the splice has an overall length of at most 100*N*d, wherein N is a number of longitudinal elements of the rope. 
     
     
         5 . The rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the splice has at least one intermediate region which is disposed between insertion ends and which contains at least a portion of a core and/or of an, in particular non-metallic, substitution element. 
     
     
         6 . The rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the splice comprises at least one splice location which has at least two insertion ends that are inserted in opposite directions, and has at least one insert element with at least one accommodation region which is configured for at least partially receiving the insertion ends inserted in opposite directions. 
     
     
         7 . The rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the insertion end has an undulation, the amplitude thereof corresponding to at least 0.5% and/or at most 20% of an amplitude of an undulation of the longitudinal element. 
     
     
         8 . The rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the splice has at least one further insertion end which has a length that is different from that of the insertion end. 
     
     
         9 . A rope which realizes a person transporting wire rope, having at least one longitudinal element which is configured for implementing at least one insertion end of at least one splice, embodied as a long splice, of a rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         10 . A rope which realizes a person transporting wire rope, in particular an endless rope, having at least one rope portion as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         11 . A use of a rope as claimed in  claim 10  as a haul rope and/or as a traction rope, in particular in a passenger cableway, advantageously in a mountain cable car and/or in an urban street car. 
     
     
         12 . A method for splicing a rope that forms a person transporting wire rope, having a diameter d, preferably for producing an endless rope, in particular a rope as claimed in  claim 9 , advantageously for a passenger cableway, for example a mountain cable car and/or an urban street car, which has a plurality of stranded longitudinal elements, wherein the person transporting wire rope and/or the stranded longitudinal elements are at least largely free of a sheathing that at least partially encompasses the person transporting wire rope and/or at least one stranded longitudinal element, wherein, for producing at least one splice that is embodied as a long splice, at least one end region of at least one of the longitudinal elements is inserted as an insertion end, in particular in place of a core, between other longitudinal elements over a length of at most 50*d. 
     
     
         13 . The method as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the splice embodied as a long splice is fabricated in one piece, in particular without an advancement of the splice in an incomplete state, in a region having a length of at most 1200*d.
