As the main conveying device 10 operates, the to-be-dividing member 40 is conveyed to the center conveying device 33, and the to-be-dividing member 40 is conveyed to the shooting range of the camera module 21 as the center conveying device 33 operates. Then, the operation of the center conveying device 33 is stopped.

The to-be-dividing component 40 enters the shooting range of the camera module 21, and the camera module 21 is used to capture the to-be-divided component 40 to obtain an image of the to-be-divided component 40. If the image definition does not meet the requirements, the focal length of the camera module 21 can be adjusted such that the image clarity of the to-be-divided component 40 reaches a predetermined requirement.

An image of each acupuncture point component having a pocket number identification surface is stored in the image processing device 22, and the image of the acupoint component 40 is compared with an image stored in the image processing device 22 to identify the image. Which acupoint is to be placed in the acupoint component 40, after identification, it is determined that the acupoint component 4 belongs to the acupuncture point No. 1.

After the image processing device 22 recognizes that the to-be-dividing component 40 belongs to the No. 1 acupoint, the controller outputs a command to the controller 31, so that the controller 31 controls the rotating unit 32 to drive the central conveying device 33 to a certain height, and then rotates a certain angle. Further, the height is lowered to make the center conveying device 33 adjacent to the input end 3411 of the acupoint conveying device 341, and the conveying surface of the center conveying device 33 and the conveying surface of the first acupoint conveying device 341 are in the same plane.
