The utility model provides a positive pressure rope guide for a steel rope type electric hoist. The positive pressure rope guide for the steel rope type electric hoist mainly consists of a rope guiding nut, an internal hexagonal connecting bolt, a connecting spring, an arc-shaped guard plate, an M-shaped spring, a rope stopping plate, a regulating bolt, and the like. Being cut into two halves, the rope guiding nut is connected by the internal hexagonal connecting bolt and the connecting spring, and is installed on a steel rope winding drum. Then, the arc-shaped guard plate is installed on the rope guiding nut. One end of the arc-shaped guard plate is connected and installed on a lateral side of the rope guiding nut by a bolt, so as to form a hinge. The other end of the arc-shaped guard plate is pressed by the M-shaped spring which is installed on the rope guiding nut, accordingly allowing the steel rope to be pressed by the arc-shaped guard plate all along, as well as avoiding disorder threads. The rope stopping plate is then installed on the same side of the arc-shaped guard plate at the outlet of the rope guide, to prevent the steel rope from leaving the arc-shaped guard plate and the winding drum when the steel rope is pulled. Works can be done by additionally installing such a rope guide on the existing electric hoist. The positive pressure rope guide for the steel rope type electric hoist is especially applicable to electric hoists having square orifices.
