A purely mechanical hydraulic control system includes at least one drilling fluid chamber and a hydraulic fluid chamber. A system pressure spring is deployed in one of the drilling fluid chamber(s) between a positioning piston and a system pressure piston. The spring is disposed to pressurize oil in the hydraulic fluid chamber via applying a spring force to the system pressure piston. When the system is actuated (e.g., via turning on the mud pumps), the positioning piston is urged in place against a stop (e.g., a shoulder) thereby compressing the system pressure spring and pressurizing oil in the hydraulic chamber. The invention advantageously converts highly variable drilling fluid pressure to a near constant pressure hydraulic fluid. |
