Three planar air bearings 19 are evenly arranged at a 120° angle on the lower surface of the bottom plate 18. The air outlets of the three planar air bearings 19 are all positioned toward the bottom surface of the air flotation platform. The air inlets 17 of the planar air bearings 19 are connected to a thin hose 33. The second plate 7 is connected to the bottom plate 18 via three supporting aluminum tubes 16 and twelve square supporting aluminum tubes 12. The stepped shaft holder 9 is fixed to the six square supporting aluminum tubes 12. The deep groove ball bearing 8 is installed in the stepped shaft holder 9. The stepped shaft and the deep groove ball bearing 8 are then mated. A nozzle 25 is arranged in the middle of the stepped shaft. The other end of the nozzle 25 is connected to the nozzle joint 34. One end of the stepped shaft is connected to the motor shaft of the motor 14 via a coupling 26. The motor 14 is then fixed to the square supporting aluminum tubes 12. The high-pressure reducing valve 27 and the low-pressure reducing valve 29 are respectively installed on the second layer plate 7 through a retaining frame. The inlet of the high-pressure reducing valve 27 is connected to the third gas tank pipeline 22 connected to the bottom layer plate 18 through a thick hose 28. The outlet of the high-pressure reducing valve 27 is connected to the inlet of the low-pressure reducing valve 29 through the thick hose 28. The outlet of the low-pressure reducing valve 29 is connected to the first interface of the three-way joint 30 through the thick hose 28. The second interface of the three-way joint 30 is connected to the first interface of the first four-way joint 31 through the thick hose 28.

[0027] The initial state of the present invention is as follows Figure 3 As shown, two high-pressure gas cylinders 24 are connected in parallel, and high-pressure nitrogen is filled into the two high-pressure gas cylinders 24 through a stop valve 21. The pressure range of the high-pressure gas cylinders 24 is set to 0MPa to 18MPa. When entering the working state, in order to maintain the stability of the output pressure, a two-stage pressure reduction is adopted. The high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 24 passes through the gas tank pipeline 22 and is first reduced to 0.7MPa by the high-pressure pressure reducing valve 27, and then reduced to 0.3MPa by the low-pressure pressure reducing valve 29 for the second time; then it is divided into two ways through the three-way joint 30, one of which is transmitted to the air inlet 17 of the plane air floating bearing 19. The plane air floating bearing 19 transmits the input air to the guide groove on the bottom through the throttle hole. Due to the effect of air pressure, the air in the guide groove is evenly distributed. Air diffuses between the bearing bottom and the platform surface, forming a micrometer-thick (5-50 μm) air cushion. This creates a very smooth fit between the planar air bearing 19 and the bottom of the air platform, allowing the platform to float. Another signal is transmitted to the solenoid valve 32, which controls the opening and closing of the three nozzles 25. When all three nozzles 25 simultaneously spray air, the air platform rotates. Directing all three nozzles 25 downward or upward simultaneously allows the air platform to ascend or descend. Spraying from a single nozzle 25 allows the platform to move in a plane. The controller 38 on the third layer 13 transmits control signals to the solenoid valve 32 via a relay 36. The wireless module 35 establishes a Bluetooth communication connection with the host computer. The gyroscope 39 collects information about the air platform's rotation angle.
