1. A rope replacement apparatus, comprising:
a rope conveying mechanism, wherein the rope conveying mechanism is configured to drive a first rope to move along a moving path of a second rope to replace the second rope;
a first detection component, wherein the first detection component is configured to detect a first movement speed V1 of the first rope output by the rope conveying mechanism, and the first detection component is mounted on the rope conveying mechanism; the first movement speed V1 is determined by a driving speed and a driving force of the rope conveying mechanism;
a second detection component, wherein the second detection component is configured to detect a second movement speed V2 of the second rope located outside the rope conveying mechanism, and the second detection component is mounted on the moving path of the second rope; the second movement speed V2 is determined by the driving speed and the driving force of the rope conveying mechanism; and
a control component, wherein the control component is configured to adjust the first movement speed V1 according to a difference between the first movement speed V1 and the second movement speed V2, such that the first movement speed V1 matches with the second movement speed V2, and each of the first detection component and the second detection component is in communication connection with the control component;
wherein the rope conveying mechanism comprises:
a first clamping assembly and a second clamping assembly, wherein each of the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly comprises a clamping belt configured to clamp the first rope, and a driving roller configured to drive the clamping belt into rotation, wherein the clamping belt of the first clamping assembly is provided on one side of the first rope, and the clamping belt of the second clamping assembly is provided on another side of the first rope, to clamp the first rope; and
a clamping hydraulic cylinder, wherein the clamping hydraulic cylinder is connected to the driving roller of the first clamping assembly to drive the clamping belt of the first clamping assembly to move towards the clamping belt of the second clamping assembly, to clamp the first rope;
wherein the clamping belt is provided with a plurality of friction blocks distributed in a circumferential direction, wherein each of the plurality of friction blocks is provided with a groove for passage of the first rope.
