[0002] The indwelling needle guidewire automatic assembly is a support device for assembling the indwelling needle guidewire with the inner and outer rings and the pull-out tube. It uses a cannula, catheter, and guidewire. The puncture needle with a needle core penetrates the anterior and posterior walls of the blood vessel, the needle core is withdrawn, and the needle is slowly pulled outward until blood sprays from the needle tail. The guidewire is then quickly inserted, the puncture needle is withdrawn, and the catheter is introduced through the guidewire, thus placing the catheter into the blood vessel. During the manufacture of the indwelling needle, the cannula and catheter need to be assembled and fixed. With the continuous development of technology, people's requirements for the automatic assembly of indwelling needle guidewires are also getting higher and higher.

8. The method of using an automatic assembly and Z-crimping circulation device for indwelling needle guidewires, characterized in that: Specifically, the following steps are included: S1: Loading the indwelling needle: The indwelling needle to be assembled is clamped in the locking groove (24), fixed on the tray fixture (23) by the indwelling needle bracket (22), and conveyed forward on the conveyor seat (6); S2: Inner and outer ring assembly: When the tray fixture (23) moves forward to the position of the inner and outer ring assembly mechanism (11), the inner and outer rings on the inner and outer ring unloading rack (17) automatically fall down and are clamped and rotated by the first rotary clamping assembly (32). After rotation, the first assembly clamp (19) clamps the inner and outer rings and presses them down to assemble them at the indwelling needle. S3: Pull-out tube assembly: After the inner and outer rings are assembled, the tray fixture (23) continues to be transported forward to the pull-out tube assembly mechanism (12). The pull-out tube on the pull-out tube unloading rack (30) automatically falls down and is clamped and rotated by the second rotary clamping assembly (27). After rotation, the second assembly clamp (29) clamps the pull-out tube and presses it down to assemble it to the indwelling needle. S4: Z-pressure positioning: After the tube is assembled, the tray fixture (23) continues to be conveyed forward to the Z-pressure positioning mechanism (13). The translation drive component (37) drives the clamping component (36) to translate. The clamping component (36) clamps the position of the indwelling needle. The pressing component (34) and the Z-pressure component (35) cooperate to press down for Z-pressure positioning, and finally discharge the material.
