The system includes a first transportation apparatus, a second transportation apparatus, a first driving module, a second driving module, a power assembling module and a control circuit. The first transportation apparatus having a first transportation belt and the second transportation apparatus having a second transportation belt are used to transport the frames or the covers of the devices. The power assembling module mounted on the end of the first transportation apparatus and the second transportation apparatus is used for vertically pressing downwardly the frames and the covers such that the frames and the covers can be assembled. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An auto-assembling system, comprising: a first transportation apparatus having a first transportation belt and having a slide way connected to an end of said transportation belt for transporting a first item; a second transportation apparatus having a second transportation belt connected to a track for transporting a second item, wherein said first transportation apparatus is positioned on said second transportation apparatus, and a tilt angle exists between said slide way and said track; a first driving module connected to and positioned on said first transportation apparatus for driving said first item along said slide way to an assembling section, wherein said first driving module has a motor, a rack positioned on said slide way and a gear connects said motor and said rack, whereby said first driving module moves reciprocally along said slide way; a second driving module connected to and positioned on said second transportation apparatus for driving said second item transported by the second transportation apparatus along said track to an assembling section, wherein said second driving module has a motor, a driving stick placed on said track and a gear connected to said motor and said driving stick, whereby said driving stick moves reciprocally along said track; a power assembling module including a motor, a gear connected to said motor, a rack connected to said gear, wherein said rack is connected to a pressing cubic mold, whereby said pressing cubic mold is capable of exerting pressure on said first item vertically and downwardly for combining said first item and said second item, and wherein said power assembling module is positioned besides an end of said first transportation component that said first item is transported to; and a control circuit connected to said first transportation apparatus said second transportation apparatus, said first driving module, said second driving module and said power assembling module for driving them. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system in claim 1, further comprising a power source connected to said control circuit. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system in claim 1, wherein said power assembling module further comprises a decelerated apparatus connected to said motor and said gear, and a joint connected to said rack and said pressing cubic mold. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system in claim 1, wherein said slide way and said track each include a left handrail, a right handrail, and an inside handrail respectively, and wherein each said inside handrail is positioned between its respective left handrail and right handrail. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system in claim 4, wherein each said inside handrail is connected to its respective left handrail by a spiral shaft, a spring and a nut. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The system in claim 4, further comprising a horizontal shaft positioned beside an inner side of said right handrail of said slide way. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The system in claim 4, further comprising a rack positioned in said left handrail and said right handrail of said slide way. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system in claim 1, further comprising a stirring shaft located in said assembling section. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system in claim 1, further comprising a soft pad located inside said assembling section. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system in claim 1, further comprising plural sensors disposed on said slide way and said track for sensing the position of said first item and said second item respectively. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system in claim 1, further comprising a collecting plate positioned beside said assembling section for collecting the combination of said frame and said cover. ### Claim 12 An auto-assembling system, comprising: a track with a left handrail, a right handrail and a inside handrail wherein said inside handrail is positioned between said right handrail and said left handrail; a slide way with a left handrail, a right handrail and a inside handrail, wherein said inside handrail is positioned between said right handrail and said left handrail and said slide way positioned on said track and a tilt angle exists between said slide way and said track; a first transportation apparatus including a first transportation belt for transporting a first item to said slide way; a second transportation apparatus including a second transportation belt for transporting a second item to said track, wherein said first transportation apparatus is positioned on said second transportation apparatus, wherein said second driving module has a motor, a driving stick placed on said track and a gear connected to said motor and said driving stick, whereby said driving stick moves reciprocally along said track; a first driving module connected to and positioned on said first transportation apparatus for driving first item along said slide way to said track, wherein said first driving module has a motor, a rack positioned on said slide way and a gear connects said motor and said rack, whereby said first driving module moves reciprocally along said slide way; a second driving module connected to and positioned on said second transportation apparatus for driving said second item transported by the second transportation apparatus to an assembling section through said track, wherein said first transportation apparatus is mounted on said second transportation apparatus; a power assembling module includes a motor, a gear connected to said motor, and a rack connected to said gear, wherein said rack is connected to a pressing cubic mold, whereby said pressing cubic mold is capable of exerting pressure on said first item vertically and downwardly for combining said first item and said second item, and wherein said power assembling module positioned besides an end of said first transportation component that said first item is transported to; and a control circuit connects the first transportation apparatus, said second transportation apparatus, said first driving module, said second driving module and power assembling module for driving them. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising a power source connected to said control circuit. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising a decelerated apparatus connected so said motor and said gear, and a joint connected to said rack and said pressing cubic mold. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, wherein each said inside handrail is connected to its respective said left handrail by a spiral shaft, a spring and a nut. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising a horizontal shaft, positioned besides an inner side of said right handrail of said slide way. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising a rack positioned in said left handrail and said right handrail of said slide way. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising a stirring shaft located in said assembling section. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising a soft pad located inside said assembling section. ### Claim 20 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising plural sensors disposed on said slide way and said track. ### Claim 21 (depends on 12) The system in claim 12, further comprising a collecting plate positioned beside said assembling section for collecting the combination of said first item and said second item.
