The invention discloses a rope arranging detection device used for a multi-rope winding type elevator. The rope arranging detection device is installed below a winding drum of the elevator and comprises a base, a hydraulic cylinder, rolling bearings, rotatable supports and a control system of the hydraulic cylinder, wherein the hydraulic cylinder and the rolling bearings are arranged on the base. One end of each support is provided with a rotating shaft rotationally supported on the corresponding rolling bearing, and the other end of each support is provided with a pressing rod parallel to the corresponding rotating shaft. Each pressing rod is fixedly connected with the corresponding rotating shaft through connecting rods. A piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is rotationally connected with the rotating shafts and is provided with a force sensor. The rotating shafts drive the pressing rods at the end portions of the supports to swing under the drive of the hydraulic cylinder, so that the perpendicular distance between the pressing rods and a steel wire rope on the outermost layer of the winding drum is maintained at a set value. When the rope arranging detection device is used, when synchronous adjustment of the elevator fails and the steel wire ropes on the winding drum abut against the pressing rods, generated pressure triggers the force sensor, the force sensor is used for feeding back a signal to a master control system of the elevator, the master control system of the elevator sends out a shutdown signal, and a safety protection function is achieved.
