After the three-fold spoon is pushed into the receiving jig 35 under the action of the spoon folding device 2, the fifth driving source 32 acts to drive the swing seat 33 to tilt and rotate to align with the feeding port of the cover inserting device 4. Then, the sixth driving source 34 drives the inserting plate component 36 to be inserted into the receiving jig 35 to push the three-fold spoon onto the cover inserting device 4, and the first driving source 422 on the cover inserting device 4 jacks up to drive the pin 428 to be inserted into the slideway, and then the second driving source 425 acts to intermittently push the spoon on the slideway downward, and finally the spoon is installed in the dust-proof cover. The finished product assembly is completed. By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention effectively realizes a series of actions of inserting the three-fold spoon into the dust-proof cover, and greatly improves the production efficiency of the target object through the multi-station parallel design; during the whole production process, automatic feeding without stopping can be effectively realized, and the degree of automation is high. The spoon and cover assembly is a fully automatic process, which greatly avoids the external pollution caused by humans.
