Therefore, when the FPSO ship is welded, the transverse welding device does not need to be removed from the FPSO ship, and the connection between the transverse position and the vertical position of the FPSO ship can be automatically welded, so that a large amount of time wasted in removing and fixing the transverse welding device is avoided, and the welding period of the FPSO ship is increased.

6. A method of using a FPSO vessel transverse automatic welding apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein, The steps include the following steps: Step one: the mounting beam (1) is fixed on the FPSO ship through the electromagnetic iron two in the fixed seat (12), the welding gun (13) is driven to approach the FPSO ship through the angle adjusting component (11), so that the welding gun (13) reaches the welding position of the FPSO ship, and the angle of the welding gun (13) is adjusted through the angle adjusting component (11) according to the arc surface and the vertical surface of the FPSO ship, so that the welding gun (13) is horizontally aligned with the welding position of the FPSO ship; Step two: the U-shaped fixed plate (3) is moved through the transverse moving component (2), so that the U-shaped fixed plate (3) drives the rotating motor (5) and the vertical screw rod (6) to move, and the angle adjusting component (11) is moved through the screw sleeve (7), so that the angle adjusting component (11) drives the welding gun (13) to move transversely, so that the welding gun (13) welds different positions of the FPSO ship, and the connecting component (10) contacts the locking effect, so that the rotating shaft (26) in the transverse moving assembly does not drive the U-shaped fixed plate (3) to rotate; Step three: when it is necessary to weld different positions of the FPSO ship vertically, the vertical screw rod (6) is driven to rotate through the rotating motor (5), so that the screw sleeve (7) drives the angle adjusting component (11) to move upwards, and the moving direction of the screw sleeve (7) is guided through the limiting sliding sleeve (8) and the limiting sliding rail (9), so that the angle adjusting component (11) drives the welding gun (13) to move upwards, so that the welding gun (13) moves to the next welding position of the FPSO ship vertically. Step four: when the position above needs to be welded, the angle adjusting part (11) drives the welding gun (13) to move forward, after the welding gun (13) is reset, the horizontal moving part (2) is reset in the reverse direction, so that the rotating shaft (26) rotates in the reverse direction, the rotating shaft (26) drives the U-shaped fixed plate (3) to rotate through the locked connecting part (10), so that the U-shaped fixed plate (3) drives the angle adjusting part (11) to make circular motion through the rotating motor (5) and the vertical screw rod (6), and drives the welding gun (13) to move through the angle adjusting part (11), so that the U-shaped fixed plate (3) rotates one hundred and eighty degrees, that is, the position above can be welded.
