The lower pressing block 503 is arranged directly below the upper pressing block 502. After the end of the wire harness enters between the upper pressing block 502 and the lower pressing block 503, the reinforcing plate also enters between the upper pressing block 502 and the lower pressing block 503 under the action of the feeding mechanism. Then, the first cylinder 500 drives the first slider 501 to move, and the first slider 501 drives the upper pressing block 502 to move, so that the upper pressing block 502 abuts against the lower pressing block 503, thereby making the reinforcing plate fit with the wire harness.

Moreover, the guiding roller 404 is rotatably arranged relative to the mounting panel 300, which is beneficial to reducing the friction between the reinforcement plate and the guiding roller 404. In addition, the number of guiding rollers 404 is three, and the three guiding rollers 404 are arranged in parallel at equal intervals on the mounting panel 300.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , in a possible implementation, the feeding mechanism further includes a material conveying plate 405 and a limiting pressing plate 406. The material conveying plate 405 is arranged on the mounting panel 300, and the limiting pressing plate 406 is arranged on the material conveying plate 405. It should be noted that the reinforcement plate enters the material conveying plate 405 under the guidance of the guiding roller 404. The driving rubber roller 402 is arranged in the material conveying plate 405, but the driving rubber roller 402 does not contact the material conveying plate 405. There is an opening above the material conveying plate 405, and the top outer surface of the driving rubber roller 402 extends out from the opening, and the top outer surface of the driving rubber roller 402 is flush with the top surface of the material conveying plate 405, so that the reinforcement plate can move horizontally after entering the top surface of the material conveying plate 405. The setting of the limiting pressing plate 406 can prevent the reinforcement plate from shifting during movement, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the movement of the reinforcement plate, and can make the reinforcement plate in a pressed state, avoiding large bending of the reinforcement plate during cutting, which is beneficial to improving the cutting quality.
