The raw material warehouse 21 and the finished product warehouse 22 are arranged side by side and have the same structure, including an automated warehouse and an RFID reader / writer module. The automated warehouse has multiple stacked storage locations. The RFID reader / writer module is used to identify the status information of the storage locations and the information of the pallets 61 located in the storage locations. A lane-type stacker crane 24 for inbound / outbound handling is provided between the raw material warehouse 21 and the finished product warehouse 22, and two inbound / outbound platforms 23 are provided on each side of the two warehouses that are far apart from each other. The inbound / outbound platforms 23 are connected to the lane-type stacker crane 24, the double-speed chain conveyor 62, and the AGV transport unit 8 to facilitate inbound / outbound operations.
[0054] The aforementioned smart flashlight production line training system also includes an AGV transport unit 8 located at the end of the conveying unit 6. The AGV transport unit 8 is used for finished product warehousing and includes an AGV transport robot 81 and a magnetic navigation track 82.

[0059] During processing, pallet 61 is conveyed by conveyor unit 2 to transfer conveyor 16 and stops. Simultaneously, the gate of CNC lathe 11 automatically opens, and robot 14 picks up the main cylinder blank from the pallet and delivers it to CNC lathe 11 to begin machining the external thread on one end of the main cylinder. After machining, robot 14 picks it up and places it on turnover machine 15. After being rotated 180 degrees by turnover machine 15, robot 14 picks up the workpiece again and delivers it to CNC lathe 11 to machine the external thread on the other end of the main cylinder. Simultaneously, the gate of CNC machining center 12 automatically opens, and robot 14 picks up the main cylinder and delivers it to CNC machining center 12 for side milling. After machining, robot 14 picks it up and returns it to the designated position on the pallet on transfer conveyor 16. It should be noted that in this embodiment, to expedite the training process, the reflective head and cylinder cover of the workpiece are pre-machined.
[0060] According to the cycle flow, two sets of transfer conveyors 16 are set up. The first set of pallets 61 is detached from the conveying unit 6 via a lifting and reversing device and enters one of the transfer conveyors 16, where the robot 14 loads and unloads the workpieces for CNC machining. During the machining process, the second set of pallets 61 is transported out of the warehouse to another transfer conveyor 16 for the second set of workpiece loading and unloading machining. After the first set of pallets is machined, the workpieces are transported back into the warehouse along with the pallets via a double-speed chain conveyor, and then the third set of pallets is transported out of the warehouse for machining. This alternating loading and unloading improves processing efficiency.
[0061] like Figure 1-2As shown, the marking unit 3 includes a marking table 31, a laser marking machine 32, and a second robot 33.

Then, the lamp wick assembly and button assembly are manually picked up and assembled with the reflector head and the button assembly and tube cap on assembly platform 1 45. The assembled reflector head semi-finished product and tube cap semi-finished product are then placed on temporary storage platform 2 46. Then, Robot 4 43 picks up the main tube body and places it on the rotating mechanism 44. Robot 4 43 and the rotating mechanism 44 work together to complete the assembly of the main tube body with the reflector head semi-finished product and tube cap semi-finished product to obtain the finished flashlight. The finished flashlight is placed back on tray 61 and transported to packaging unit 5 via tray 61.
[0074] S5. Packaging: Robot 6 53 picks up the packaging box and places it on the packaging table 54. Robot 5 52 picks up the finished flashlight and battery and places them into the packaging box. Then, Robot 6 53 picks up the box lid and closes the packaging box, completing the packaging. Then, Robot 6 53 places the packaged packaging box on the inkjet printing table 56 and uses inkjet printer 57 to perform inkjet printing on the packaging box. At the same time, the empty pallet 61 is transferred to the AGV transport unit 8 via the conveyor unit 6.
[0075] S6. Inspection and Warehousing: Packaging boxes are placed on the inspection workbench 510 for power-on sampling inspection. After inspection, the packaging boxes are placed on the pallet located in AGV transport unit 8, or directly placed on the pallet located in AGV transport unit 8 without sampling inspection, and then transported to the finished product warehouse 22 by AGV transport robot 81. During warehousing, RFID information reading and writing inspection can be performed on the packaged finished products. The inspection results are recorded in the central control data for querying and inventory, etc. After inspection, the stacker crane picks up the product and places it in the corresponding location in the finished product warehouse.
[0076] At this point, the processes of outbound, processing, marking, assembly, packaging, testing, conveying, and warehousing are completed. The system continuously repeats each process to achieve continuous production. The system information can also be changed at any time to achieve flexible production processes for multiple varieties and small batches until the raw materials or semi-finished products in the warehouse are processed and assembled.
[0077] This invention enables the automated production of flashlights. It employs a modular design, with functional units arranged in a straight line, resulting in a compact, aesthetically pleasing structure that occupies minimal space. Each functional unit can also independently perform different teaching functions, maximizing space utilization. Furthermore, the flashlight manufacturing cost is low, the training equipment is not complex, and the equipment cost is relatively low, falling within the economic affordability of most colleges, universities, and vocational schools. The manufactured flashlights are usable in daily life, and production orders can be fulfilled, generating economic benefits. This design is both based on practical production and aligns with practical training teaching.
[0078] This utility model takes intelligent manufacturing production management and industrial robot technology as its core, uses common outdoor flashlights as the processing objects, and conducts automated training operations such as production assembly and packaging through human-machine cooperation. The system includes industrial robot technology, CNC machining technology, RFID identification technology, computer technology, visual inspection technology, robot collaborative assembly technology, laser marking technology, packaging technology, inkjet coding technology, AGV robot transportation technology, and conveying technology. The system is equipped with an MES production management system to build an information-based intelligent manufacturing processing and assembly training system with traceable production processes.
