Patent ID: 11913818
Assignee: FRABA B.V.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A fluid flow rate measuring assembly comprising:
a shaft whose current rotational speed is proportional to a current fluid flow rate; and
a sensor device comprising,
an excitation magnet which is fastened to the shaft and which is configured to generate an alternating excitation magnetic field,
an energy generator comprising a pulse wire module in which electric energy pulses are generatable via the alternating excitation magnetic field,
at least one sensor element which is configured to sense a physical property of a fluid flowing through the fluid flow rate measuring assembly and to provide a sensor signal,
an evaluation unit which is configured to evaluate the sensor signal and to sense a rotational movement of the shaft by evaluating a time course of the electric energy pulses of the pulse wire element, and
a wireless data interface which is connected to the evaluation unit via a data connection,

wherein,
the at least one sensor element, the evaluation unit, and the wireless data interface are each electrically connected to the energy generator and can be supplied with an electric energy thereby, and
the wireless data interface is configured to generate an energy in excess of that which is required for an operation of the wireless data interface so that the excess energy generated by the wireless data interface can be used for an energy supply of the sensor device.
