[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] See Figures 1-4 A soft-boiled egg counting machine includes: a housing 1, which can hold materials; both shelled and shell-less eggs can be placed in the housing 1. A partition 2, installed inside the housing 1, has openings 21 for material passage; this ensures that materials pass through the openings 21 sequentially, preventing confusion. A conveying mechanism 3, with its first end extending into the housing 1, conveys materials from the first end to the second end; materials are conveyed sequentially through the conveying mechanism 3. A counting mechanism 5, installed on the conveying mechanism 3, senses the quantity of materials conveyed. The conveying mechanism 3, in conjunction with the counting mechanism 5, can measure the quantity of conveyed materials. The machine offers accurate counting, fast conveying speed, requires no manual intervention, and can convey and package both shelled and shell-less eggs.

[0034] The conveying mechanism 3 includes: a conveyor frame 31; a conveyor chain 32 mounted on the conveyor frame 31, capable of conveying materials; and feeding rollers 33, a series of which are arranged on the conveyor chain 32, with adjacent feeding rollers 33 positioning a single piece of material. By positioning a single material with adjacent feeding rollers 33, the materials are conveyed sequentially. A drive mechanism, mounted on the conveyor frame 31, drives the conveyor chain 32. The movement of the conveyor chain 32, driven by the drive mechanism, facilitates the conveying of materials.

[0035] The drive mechanism is a servo motor 34. The servo motor 34 controls the start and stop of the conveyor, thereby controlling the number of eggs falling into the bag.

[0036] The counting mechanism 5 includes a counting wheel 51 and a photoelectric sensor 52. The counting wheel 51 is connected to the shaft of the servo motor 34, and the photoelectric sensor 52 is mounted on the conveyor frame 31. The photoelectric sensor 52 can sense the rotation of the counting wheel 51. During the conveying process, the number of soft-boiled eggs is detected by the photoelectric sensor 52 and the counting wheel 51, and the servo motor 34 controls the start and stop of the conveying, thereby controlling the number of eggs falling into the bag.

[0037] The conveyor frame 31 is also equipped with a second photoelectric sensor 35 for sensing materials, which can sense whether there are materials on the conveyor chain 32.

[0038] It also has a support 4, which can support the middle part of the conveyor frame 31. The support 4 serves to support the conveyor frame 31 and can transport materials to different heights.

[0039] The second end of the conveying mechanism 3 is equipped with a discharge hopper 6, which serves to feed materials.

[0040] With the above structure, during the conveying process, the number of eggs is detected by photoelectric sensors and counting wheels, and the start and stop of the conveyor are controlled by a servo motor, thereby controlling the number of eggs falling into the bag. The quantity is accurate, the conveying speed is fast, no manual intervention is required, and both shelled and shell-less eggs can be conveyed and packaged.
