[0040] The label holding mechanism 3 includes a label receiving platform 31 mounted on a first slide cylinder 32. The label receiving platform 31 is movable to the label outlet of the label dispenser 2. When the label dispenser 2 provides a label, the label receiving platform 31 moves toward the label dispenser 2 so that the label receiving platform 31 carries the label.

[0041] The label folding mechanism 4 includes a label suction assembly 41 disposed directly above the label receiving platform 31, a rotating assembly 42 for driving the label suction assembly 41 to rotate, a second slide cylinder 43 for driving the label suction assembly 41 to rise and fall, and an electric slide rail 44 for driving the label suction assembly 41 to translate. The second slide cylinder 43 is used to drive the label suction assembly 41 to rise and fall, the electric slide rail 44 is used to drive the label suction assembly 41 to translate, and the rotating assembly 42 is used to drive the label suction assembly 41 to rotate, thereby achieving label folding.

[0042] The label supporting mechanism 3 and the harness clamping mechanism 5 are respectively arranged at both ends of the electric slide rail 44;

[0043] The wire harness clamping mechanism 5 includes a screw table 51, a lifting assembly 52 mounted on the screw table 51, and a clamping seat 53 mounted at the output end of the lifting assembly 52. ​​The clamping seat 53 has a wiring harness installation cavity.
