The invention provides a pneumatic suspension
system for simulating a zero-gravity environment and a control method. The pneumatic suspension
system comprises a supporting
assembly, a suspension
assembly and a
control system. The supporting
assembly comprises a box, a top plate and a spindle, the top plate is arranged in the box, vertical guide rails are arranged on two sides of the box, the spindle penetrates through the top plate and the box bottom, and the top is used for hanging a tested object. The suspension assembly comprises a beam, a cylinder
barrel, an air floatation
piston, a
piston rod and an air source, the beam slides along the guide rail, an
airflow channel is arranged in the beam and connected with the air floatation bearing, the air floatation
piston is arranged in the cylinder
barrel, the cylinder
barrel is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, the upper cavity is communicated with the
atmosphere, the air source supplies air to the lower cavity, and the two ends of the
piston rod are connected with the air floatation piston and the beam respectively. And the
control system controls the
gas transmission work of the gas source. According to the pneumatic suspension
system, friction of the system is effectively reduced, dynamic self-adaptive balance is achieved through the
control system, and therefore the more accurate and stable suspension effect is provided.
