Abstract

The present invention relates to pressure stabilizing mechanism and to a hydraulic pump including the pressure stabilizing mechanism. The pressure stabilizing mechanism comprises a frame, a piston and a first and second seals. The frame defines a piston chamber, a lower-pressure circuit and a higher-pressure inlet. The piston chamber has a first section of smaller circumference and a second section of larger circumference. The first section of the piston chamber connects the lower-pressure circuit and the higher-pressure inlet. The lower-pressure circuit further connects with the second section of the piston chamber. The lower-pressure circuit receives a fluid at a lower pressure and the higher-pressure inlet receives the fluid at a higher pressure. The piston is slidably movable in the piston chamber between an open position and a closed position. The piston slidably moves between the closed and open position upon relative variation between the lower-pressure fluid and larger surface in the second chamber with respect to the higher-pressure fluid and smaller surface in the first chamber of the piston chamber.
