最近在荷兰又重新对“气垫皮带运输机”的研究感到兴趣,就是把空气送过多孔床支承运输机皮带。根据Twente大学CO Jonkers教授介绍,他对所设想的构造和由于大量的减少运动件导致的维护费用节约,与传统的托辊皮带运输机作了详尽的对比。这种运输机(图1是用来运送砂石的转运系统)的优缺点在下面进行讨论。 In the Netherlands recently, renewed interest in the research of “air-cushioned belt conveyors” was the transfer of air through the perforated bed support conveyor belts. According to Professor CO Jonkers of Twente University, he made a detailed comparison with the traditional idler belt conveyor with regard to the construction contemplated and the savings in maintenance costs due to the large number of reduced moving parts. The advantages and disadvantages of such a transport aircraft (Figure 1 is a transport system for transporting gravel) are discussed below.
