The invention discloses a process for replacing hoisting ropes, which comprises the steps of: 1, arranging new and old
rope hoists at an upper
wellhead, and lifting a second cage to the upper
wellhead; 2, lowering the second cage, and arranging a pair of long boards on an old
rope on the same side of the second cage at intervals of 50 meters; 3, separating the old
rope from a first cage and connecting the old rope with an old rope take-up hoist; 4, when the second cage is lifted to the upper
wellhead, taking up the old rope by the old rope take-up hoist, dismounting the long boards in the step 2, and breaking the old rope; 5, connecting the rope end of a new rope with an upper
breaking point, and connecting a second end of the old rope with a lower
breaking point; 6, driving the new rope by the old rope to wind two hoisting sheaves and a
winch sequentially, breaking the new rope and the upper
breaking point, and connecting the new rope with the second cage; and 7, driving the new rope to descend by the second cage, applying
pull force to the new rope at intervals of 50 meters, arranging the long boards on the new rope and a to-be-replaced old rope, removing the
pull force, breaking the new rope, and connecting the new rope with the first cage.
