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 13):
A flow meter comprising:\n a housing that includes an inlet port, an outlet port and a chamber between the inlet port and the outlet port; a rotating mechanism being disposed in the chamber and comprising:\n a rotating shaft, \n a rotating disk that is attached to the rotating shaft, \n an inflow passage being located inside the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being rotatably supported by the housing via a bearing, and \n an outflow passage being disposed in the rotating disk, the centerline of the outflow passage and the centerline of the rotating shaft being in two different planes and having a distance between them, wherein when fluid flows through the inflow and out of the outflow passages, the fluid rotates the rotating mechanism; and \n a sensor that is positioned to measure the rotational speed of the rotating mechanism.
