  • Prime Mover Mountable Hydraulic Tool, Including Protective Box Housing Control Circuit and Hydraulic Pressure Sensors, and Related Monitoring Systems and Methods
    Publication number: 20230013782
    Abstract: A hydraulic tool is mountable to a prime mover. The hydraulic tool includes a bore-side hydraulic pressure sensor, a rod-side hydraulic pressure sensor, a control circuit, a wireless transmitter antenna providing a communication channel to a user interface, and a protective box assembly housing the bore-side hydraulic pressure sensor, the rod-side hydraulic pressure sensor, the control circuit, and the wireless transmitter antenna.

  • Prime mover mountable hydraulic tool and related monitoring systems and methods
    Patent number: 11466429
    Abstract: A hydraulic tool with a protective box assembly including a control circuit and hydraulic pressure sensors is used to operate a prime mover. The control circuit and the hydraulic pressure sensors are used to monitor performance of the hydraulic tool. Systems and methods implemented in a cloud monitor the performance of the hydraulic tool. The systems and methods utilize data collected by the hydraulic pressure sensors, processed by the control circuit, and transmitted via an antenna from the hydraulic tool to the cloud. A first set of systems and methods detect and predict a jam condition in blades associated with the hydraulic tool using statistical analysis of the data. A second set of systems and methods detect faults associated with the hydraulic tool including hydraulic leakage, mechanical wear, and friction.
