Hydraulic cylinders and plug with hydraulic cylinder
View Patent ↗The invention regards a hydraulic cylinder ( 1 ) or a plug comprising a hydraulic cylinder for operation of anchoring and or sealing devices, where the hydraulic cylinder comprising a cylinder chamber ( 6 ), a piston head ( 4 ) within said cylinder chamber ( 6 ) forming two sub chambers ( 7, 7 ′) of said cylinder chamber ( 6 ) one on each side of the piston head ( 4 ), and a piston rod ( 5 ) which runs through the piston head ( 4 ) and said two sub chambers ( 7, 7 ′) or only one of said cub chambers. The hydraulic power unit ( 8 ) for operation of the hydraulic cylinder ( 1 ) is situated at least partly within the parts forming the hydraulic cylinder ( 1 ) itself, preferably the piston head ( 4 ) and or the piston rod ( 5 ).
1. A hydraulic cylinder ( 1 ) comprising a cylinder chamber ( 6 ), a piston head ( 4 ) within said cylinder chamber ( 6 ) forming two sub chambers ( 7 , 7 ′) of said cylinder chamber ( 6 ) one on each side of the piston head ( 4 ), and a piston rod ( 5 ) which runs from one side of the piston head ( 4 ) through at least one of said sub chambers ( 7 , 7 ′), wherein a hydraulic power unit ( 8 ) for operation of the hydraulic cylinder ( 1 ) is situated at least partly within the parts forming at least one of the piston head ( 4 ) and the piston rod ( 5 ), said hydraulic power unit ( 8 ) comprising a motor ( 10 ) and a hydraulic pump ( 11 ) positioned at least partly within the piston rod ( 5 ).
2. Hydraulic cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein the piston rod ( 5 ) runs through both sub chambers ( 7 , 7 ′).
3. Hydraulic cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the piston rod ( 5 ) and the piston head ( 4 ) comprises at least partly one of a remote controlling device comprising a circuit board ( 13 ), valves ( 12 ), and a pressure transmitter ( 14 ).
4. Hydraulic cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic cylinder ( 1 ) is a two-way operational hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic pump ( 11 ) is a two-way hydraulic pump.
5. Hydraulic cylinder according to claim 1 further comprising a plug ( 21 ) having an anchoring means ( 24 ) and a sealing means ( 25 ) for anchoring and sealing against the internal wall of the pipeline ( 20 ), which means are operated by the hydraulic cylinder ( 1 ).
6. Hydraulic cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein said hydraulic power unit ( 8 ) will move with said piston head ( 4 ) and said piston rod ( 5 ) as said piston head and said piston rod move within said cylinder chamber ( 6 ).
