The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing, and discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle body and a releasing mechanism, the releasing mechanism comprises a mounting piece and a reset component; the mounting piece is provided with a mounting groove; the opening direction of the mounting groove extends upwards; and a to-be-transported piece can be hooked in the mounting groove. The reset component is configured to deform under the
gravity effect of the to-be-transported piece when the to-be-transported piece is lifted, and when the to-be-transported piece (100) lands to the ground, the reset component is reset to drive the to-be-transported piece to be separated from the mounting groove. During transportation, the to-be-transported piece is hooked to the bottom of the mounting groove under the
gravity effect of the to-be-transported piece and deform the reset component. When the to-be-transported piece lands to the ground, the force of the to-be-transported piece on the reset component disappears, and the to-be-transported piece moves towards the opening direction of the mounting groove under the reset function of the reset component and is automatically separated from the mounting groove. The UAV can realize automatic releasing of a to-be-transported piece, the structure is simple and easy to realize, and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the UAV and improve the endurance ability of the UAV.
