Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a welding apparatus for a multilayer pocket spring string, which comprises a first welding module 200, a second welding module 100, a first driving mechanism 400 and two spring conveying mechanisms 500 arranged at an interval.

The spring conveying mechanism 500 clamps and forwardly conveys a spring 60, and cloth 10 is folded and wrapped on the spring conveying mechanism 500 to move. The first driving mechanism 400 drives the first welding module 200 to move progressively along a left-right direction, so as to adjust a position of the first welding module 200, and the first welding module 200 welds the cloth 10 to form a separation seam 40, so that an accommodating cavity 30 for accommodating the spring 60 is separated to form two layers of first cavities 31 (equivalent to independent cavities in the patent CN 206314880 U). The spring conveying mechanism 500 corresponds to the first cavity 31, each spring conveying mechanism 500 conveys the spring 60, so as to load the spring 60 into the corresponding first cavity 31, and the spring 60 is stretched and unfolded. The cloth 10 moves forwardly, and the second welding module 100 welds the cloth 10 to form a first weld seam 20, so that the cloth 10 forms the accommodating cavities 30 arranged at intervals, and the second welding module 100 and the first welding module 200 are perpendicular to each other. With a movement of the cloth 10, a position of the separation seam 40 is progressively changed and adjusted, such as a change roughly in an S-shaped curve, thereby manufacturing the multilayer pocket spring string having continuous and progressive change of intervals. Moreover, compared with a traditional bonding method, a production efficiency can be improved and a production cost can be reduced.

It can be understood that the spring conveying mechanism 500 clamps and conveys the spring 60, and may have different structures as long as the spring 60 can be conveyed.

The auxiliary member 700 forms the recess at the separation seam 40 in advance, which facilitates a cutting-in action of the first welding head 210 and the second welding head 220, thereby welding more firmly. Moreover, since a welding action of the first welding head 210 and the second welding head 220 is faster and stronger, the cloth 10 forms the recess in advance, so as to well avoid the first welding head 210 or the second welding head 220 from breaking the cloth 10.

In some embodiments, the welding apparatus further comprises a guiding member 600, and the guiding member 600 is arranged between the first welding head 210 and the second welding head 220.
