Because the air cushion belt conveyor replaces the traditional rolling friction with air friction,the total power should be less than that of an ordinary belt conveyor,but the actual power consumption is not small.The rea-son is that the air supply method is not suitable,which causes a lot of energy losses and even the phenomenon of no-load streamers.By changing the air supply mode,the air pressure and air volume can be reasonably controlled,so that the conveyor belt can be supported and run smoothly.In this paper,under the condition that the size and shape of the gas chamber and the total flow are unchanged,and only the number of inlets is changed,the pressure distribution of the gas film under different air supply conditions is analyzed through ANSYS,and the results show that the gas film pressure increases significantly after the split.
