Abstract
L'invention a trait à un tracteur hydraulique (100) adapté pour progresser à travers un forage. Ledit tracteur comprend un corps allongé, des ensembles pinces avant et arrière (104, 106), et un ensemble de commande de soupapes (102) logé à l'intérieur du corps allongé. Les ensembles pinces avant et arrière (104, 106) sont adaptés pour venir sélectivement en prise avec la surface interne du forage. L'ensemble de commande de soupapes (102) comprend une soupape de commande de pinces (312) destinée à diriger le fluide sous pression vers les ensembles pinces avant et arrière (104, 106). L'ensemble de commande de soupapes (102) comprend également une soupape de commande de propulsion (310) destinée à diriger le fluide vers une chambre de puissance arrière ou avant destinée à faire avancer le corps par rapport à l'ensemble pinces actionné. Des soupapes mécaniques avant et arrière (322, 324) peuvent servir à régler la position de la soupape de commande de pinces (312), et ce en détectant et en signalant lorsque le corps a accompli une course de progression par rapport à un ensemble pinces actionné. Des soupapes de séquence avant et arrière (314, 316) peuvent servir à commander la soupape de commande de propulsion (310), et ce en détectant lorsque les ensembles pinces sont pleinement actionnés. En outre, une soupape de sécurité (306) est de préférence placée sur une conduite d'alimentation (302, 352), afin de limiter la pression du fluide entrant dans l'ensemble de commande de soupapes (102).
