[0080] Example 2, based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of a vascular closure device assembly method provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 16 As shown: a method for assembling a vascular closure device, wherein the control module 7 controls the moving speed of the conveyor belt 201, conveys the dilator for assembly, and the blocking rod mechanism 3 controls the dilators of different models to be blocked and pushed into the groove, and then the conveyor belt 201 continues to move forward, the infrared sensor 13 detects the angle and direction of the dilator, and the angle and direction of the dilator are adjusted by adjusting the clamp mechanism 11, and the push rod mechanism 6 controls the second push rod 603 to move forward, inserting the push rod into the gap of the dilator bracket, and the conveyor belt 201 pushes forward to cooperate with the push rod mechanism 6 to open the dilator bracket, and the limit clamp mechanism 8 clamps and fixes the dilator, and according to the different models detected by the infrared sensor 4, the sheath rod is installed into the dilator in different ways, after the sheath rod is installed, the push rod mechanism 6 slowly retracts the push rod, and the dilator returns to its original state, and the conveyor belt 201 conveys the dilator away;

[0081] The moving speed of the conveyor belt 201 is S1, S2, where S1 represents the slot conveyor bring Running speed in non-processing state, S2 represents slot transmission bring Running speed in processing state;

[0082] The pushing distances of the push rod mechanism 6 are J1 and J2, where J1 represents a shorter moving distance of the push rod, and J2 represents a longer moving distance of the push rod;

[0083] The coarse and fine types of expanders are M1 and M2, where M1 represents a coarse expander and M2 represents a fine expander.

[0084] The height detected by the infrared sensor 4 is H1, H2, H1 is when the model of the expander is M1, and H2 is when the model of the expander is M2;

[0087] S20: The height of the blocking rod mechanism 3 is greater than H1 and less than H2, the control module 7 controls the groove conveyor mechanism 2 to move forward at a speed of S2, and the blocking rod mechanism 3 controls the expander to enter the groove, including the following specific steps:

[0088] S21: When the blocking rod is working, when the expander does not contact the blocking rod 302 of the blocking rod mechanism 3, the control module 7 determines that the thickness of the expander is M2, the blocking rod mechanism 3 has no effect on the grooved conveyor belt mechanism 2, and the conveyor belt 201 continues to transport the expander forward;

[0089] S22: When the expander contacts the blocking rod 302 of the blocking rod mechanism 3, the control module 7 determines that the thickness of the expander is M1, the conveyor belt 201 moves forward, and the blocking rod 302 pushes the expander backward until the expander enters the second groove 203 of the groove conveyor belt mechanism 2.

[0092] S32: When the control module 7 receives the information that the gap position of the expander is deviated from or in the opposite direction from the angle detected by the infrared sensor 2 13, the control module 7 controls the conveyor belt 201 to stop running, and the control module 7 sends a signal to the lifting mechanism 12 to activate the hydraulic press 1202 inside it. The hydraulic press 1202 generates hydraulic power in response to the signal to drive the third telescopic rod 1201 to extend along its axial direction.

[0093] S40: The control module 7 controls the infrared sensor 4 to detect the height of the expander. The control module 7 determines the expander model according to the data detected by the infrared sensor 4. The control module 7 calls different mechanisms to assemble the expander bracket according to different expander models, including the following specific steps:

[0094] S410: When the data detected by the infrared sensor 4 is H1, the model of the expander is M1, and the positioning sensor 9 under the groove of the groove conveyor mechanism 2 moves to the preset G1 position and sends a signal to the control module 7;

The control module 7 controls the lifting rod 1004 of the sheath rod slide rail installation mechanism 10 to fall. After a single sheath rod passes through the slideway 1005 and enters the slide groove 1006, the lifting rod 1004 rises to prevent the subsequent sheath rods from sliding down. At the same time, the control module 7 controls the push rod mechanism 6 to push forward a distance of J1. The slot 604 at the head of the second push rod 603 clamps the gap of the expander bracket.
