Abstract:
A self-rotating flow meter includes a housing, a rotating mechanism and a sensor. The rotating mechanism is disposed in a chamber of the housing between an inlet port and an outlet port. The sensor is disposed in the housing and near the rotating mechanism. The rotation mechanism contains inflow and outflow passages in a rotating shaft and a rotating disk respectively. The inlet flow passage has a centerline that is coincident with or parallel to the centerline of the rotating shaft. The centerline of any outlet flow passage in the rotating disk and the centerline of the rotating shaft are in two different planes and have a distance between them.

Claim (Index 1):
A self-rotating flow meter comprising\n a housing, a rotating mechanism and a sensor, the housing comprising\n an inlet port, \n an outlet port and \n a chamber between the inlet port and the outlet port, the rotating mechanism being disposed in the chamber and having \n a rotating shaft and \n a rotating disk that is attached to the rotating shaft, \n wherein the rotating mechanism comprises internal flow passages, the internal flow passages comprising an inflow passage and an outflow passage, the inflow passage being located inside the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being rotatably supported by the housing via a bearing; the outflow passage being disposed in the rotating disk, a centerline of the outflow passage in the rotating disk and the centerline of the rotating shaft being in two different planes and having a distance between them, the rotating mechanism being rotated by a measured fluid out of the outflow passage in the rotating disk during operation, and the sensor being positioned to measure the rotational speed of the rotating mechanism.
