This invention belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology and discloses an aerial docking mechanism for UAVs, comprising: a docking mechanism including a docking rod, wherein a wedge-shaped groove is formed at the connection between the upper and lower parts of the docking rod; and a take-up and take-down mechanism including a take-up and take-down housing, spring torsion plates, a
torsion spring, and a rotating
assembly. There are two spring torsion plates, symmetrically and horizontally installed within the take-up and take-down housing, with a central groove formed between the two spring torsion plates. The two outer sidewalls of the two spring torsion plates at their closest points are connected to the inner sidewalls of the take-up and take-down housing via the torsion springs; the two outer sidewalls of the two spring torsion plates at their furthest points are rotatably connected to the take-up and take-down housing via the rotating
assembly. This invention enables two UAVs to dock in mid-air, achieving docking through the wedge-shaped groove of the docking rod and the UAV with the docking rod installed can also overcome the force of the spring torsion plates to separate, thus solving the problem of UAV docking in mid-air.
