[0072] When the above-mentioned controller is working, the control pressure is first set manually, and the controller collects the air cushion chamber pressure. When the air cushion chamber pressure is lower than the control pressure, the intake valve is controlled to intake air, otherwise, the exhaust valve is controlled to exhaust air, and finally the air cushion chamber pressure is made the same as the set pressure. Specifically, the core function of the above-mentioned pneumatic pressure controller is to realize automatic control of the external air cushion chamber pressure. It collects the air cushion chamber pressure from the outside (needs to undergo linear transmission, which is the receiving pressure of the fourth receiving pressure interface 35 after transmission), and compares it with the manually set air cushion chamber pressure. When the actual air cushion chamber pressure is lower than the set air cushion chamber pressure, the controller outputs the pressure required by the intake valve (the controller outputs the pressure of the second controller output pressure interface 34), controls the intake valve to open, and inflates the air cushion chamber to increase its pressure; otherwise, when the actual air cushion chamber pressure is higher than the set air cushion chamber pressure, the controller outputs the pressure required by the exhaust valve (the controller outputs the pressure of the second controller output pressure interface 34, and this pressure range does not overlap with the intake valve opening pressure range), controls the exhaust valve to open, and the air cushion chamber is deflated, and the pressure drops. After a period of time, the actual air cushion chamber pressure is equal to the set air cushion chamber pressure.
