After the welding is completed, the robot arm 3 on the other side of the slide 1 grabs the welded part for aerial repair welding. After the repair welding is completed, the robot arm 3 grabs the welded part and repairs the welded part again through the fixed welding clamp. After welding, the welded part is placed in the next step station; Then move the left and right front beams of the seats through the upper opening 2 to the slide fixture, grab the welded parts of the previous step through the mechanical arm 3 on one side of the slide 2, and grab the front beams of the mechanical arm 3 on the other side of the slide 2 to weld them in the air, and place them in the next station after welding is completed; Then, the left and right seat rear beams are moved to the slide fixture through the upper opening 3, and the left and right seat rear beams are grabbed by the mechanical arm 3 on one side of the slide 3, and the mechanical arm 3 on the other side of the slide 3 grabs the welded parts of the previous step for welding.

10. A method for using a flexible front floor welding production line, applied to a flexible front floor welding production line as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1, manually load the front floor body from the loading port 1, which is composed of the middle channel and the front floor side panels, and then the slide 1 is inserted into the line body. At this time, the robot arm 1 and the robot 2 on one side of the slide 1 and the welding gun weld the front floor sheet metal parts; S2, the robot arm 3 on the other side of the slide 1 grabs the front floor sheet metal part, and the robot arm 1 and the robot arm 2 on one side of the slide 1 perform aerial repair welding on the front floor sheet metal part. During the repair welding, the slide 1 slides out and waits for manual loading; the robot arm 3 on the other side of the slide 1 grabs the plate and uses the fixed welding clamp to perform repair welding on the front floor sheet metal part. After the repair welding is completed, the robot waits for the next step of waiting for the part to be released; S3, manual loading of parts at loading port 2, which are the front cross beams of the left and right seats, slide 2 is moved into the loading position on the gripper, and robot arm 3 places the front floor sheet metal parts on the slide fixture. After that, robot arm 3 is reset and waits for the next cycle. Robot arms 4 and 5 on one side of slide 2 perform positioning welding on the sheet metal parts on the slide fixture; S4, after the welding is completed, the slide 2 slides out and waits for manual loading. The robot arm 6 on the other side of the slide 2 grabs the sheet metal part. The robot arms 4 and 5 perform aerial repair welding on the front floor sheet metal part. After the aerial repair is completed, the robot arm 6 carries the front floor sheet metal part for fixed repair welding. After the welding is completed, it goes to the next station to wait for the part to be placed. S5, loading port 3 manually loads the parts, which are the rear cross beams of the left and right seats. After the parts are loaded on slide 3, they slide into the line body, and robotic arm 6 places the parts. After the parts are placed, robotic arm 6 returns to its original position and waits for the next cycle. Robot arms 7, 8, and 9 on one side of slide 3 weld the front floor sheet metal parts; S6, after the welding is completed, the robot arm 10 on the other side of the slide 3 grabs the front floor sheet metal, and the robot arms 7, 8, and 9 perform aerial repair welding on the front floor sheet metal. After the aerial repair welding is completed, the robot arm 10 grabs the front floor sheet metal and performs fixed repair welding. After the welding is completed, it is placed on the repair welding fixture (5); S7, the mechanical arm 11 and the mechanical arm 12 on one side of the repair welding fixture (5) perform repair welding on the front floor sheet metal component; S8, after the welding is completed, the stud weld (4) on one side of the repair welding fixture (5) is welded by the robot arm 13 grabbing the front floor sheet metal part. This station can weld a variety of different studs. After the welding is completed, the robot arm 13 places the front floor sheet metal part on the placement table, and then the robot arm 13 returns to its original position to wait for the subsequent cycle; S9, the stud welding (4) on one side of the placement table (10) is performed by grabbing the front floor sheet metal part through the robot arm 14 to weld the other side of the sheet metal part. After the welding is completed, the robot arm 14 is placed on the front floor sheet metal part arc welding fixture (8); S10, the robot arm 15 and the robot arm 16 on the other side of the placement table (10) perform arc welding on the sheet metal parts. After the welding is completed, the coding machine performs laser coding on the front floor panel. S11, the workpiece after laser coding is grasped by the robot arm 17 on one side of the arc welding fixture (8) to the stud welding (4) for welding, and the welded front floor sheet metal is welded to the remaining studs. After welding is completed, it is placed on the conveyor belt of the lower opening (6) to wait for transportation; S12, the finished products waiting to be transferred are moved to the top surface of the conveyor belt (78), and the finished products are screened by the interception rod (783) to prevent the finished products from being stacked together, and are divided into individual pieces, limited to only one piece passing through at a time, and then the finished products are moved to the top surface of the bottom step plate 1 (72). At this time, the step plate 2 (74) reciprocates along the inclined support frame (71), so that the workpieces can be transported along the step plate 1 (72) in an orderly manner until they move to the top step plate 1 (72), and are moved to the finished product box through the roller (76), and finally packed and collected.
