[0036] The single-piece separation component 6 also includes a driving roller 604, a second driven roller 613, a third driven roller 614 and an adjusting roller 611 arranged between the two fixed plates 602, and the driving roller 604, the second driven roller 613, the third driven roller 614 and the adjusting roller 611 form a transmission cooperation through the second feeding belt 605 arranged on their outer wall, and the steering roller 618 is used in conjunction with the second feeding belt 605.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the express package passes through the dispersion component 2 and enters the single-piece separation component 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the express first passes through the collection area and uses the camera 4 to collect the position information of the express and analyze it. If the position of the express is not correct, when the express enters the adjustment area, the cylinder 612 is used to adjust the position of the adjustment roller 611 to make the second feeding belt 605 more relaxed, and then the second linear motor 616 on the corresponding position No. 1 and No. 2 is controlled to lift the steering roller 618 upward, and then the first linear motor 615 is started to adjust the position of the steering roller 618. Figure 8 From the perspective of the angle of view, the steering roller 618 is adjusted to the upper area of ​​position 1 or position 2 through the linear slider 617, so that the upper area of ​​the second feeding belt 605 above position 1 or position 2 can be lifted upward, and the entire second feeding belt 605 is tilted from the upper area to the lower area, thereby giving the courier a guiding force during the forward movement of the courier. After the courier is guided, the courier enters the separation area, and the servo motor 603 is controlled to accelerate the rotation, so that the courier in this area can be quickly separated from the courier behind.

[0044] A single-piece separation method for logistics comprises the following steps:

[0045] The entire single-piece separation assembly 6 is divided into a collection area, an adjustment area and a separation area. After the express pieces reach the dispersion assembly 2, the dispersion assembly 2 is started to preliminarily separate the express pieces horizontally, and the distance between the express pieces is pulled apart. Then the express pieces enter the collection area through the feeding roller 204. When the express pieces enter the collection area, the servo motor 603 in this area operates slowly, the camera 4 positions the express pieces, determines which block or blocks of the second feeding belt 605 the express pieces are located on, and controls the corresponding second feeding belt 605 to operate, thereby realizing the transportation of the express pieces. Then the express pieces enter the adjustment area. At this time, the first linear motor 615 and the second linear motor 616 are cooperatively controlled to incline the second feeding belt 605 at the corresponding position, thereby adjusting the position of the express pieces. After the position is adjusted, the express pieces enter the separation area. The corresponding servo motor 603 is controlled to accelerate the conveyance of the express pieces, thereby realizing the separation of the express pieces.
