The invention provides a buoy recovery device and a using method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of buoy equipment. The device comprises a main floating block, two clamping mechanisms, a fixing mechanism, a linkage mechanism and a recycling mechanism, the two clamping mechanisms are rotationally arranged on the main floating block through two connecting rods, the two clamping mechanisms are symmetrically arranged, each clamping mechanism comprises a rotating floating block and a second rubber block, the rotating floating blocks are fixedly connected with the outer ends of the connecting rods, propeller thrusters are arranged at the ends, away from the connecting rod, of the rotating floating blocks, the second rubber blocks are fixedly arranged on the opposite side faces of the ends, close to the connecting rod, of the rotating floating blocks, and when the buoy enters the position between the two rotating floating blocks and makes contact with the two second rubber blocks, the fixing mechanism can fix the buoy. The linkage mechanism can drive the two connecting rods to rotate oppositely and reversely, and the recovery mechanism can recover the anchor chain on the buoy. The buoy recovery difficulty can be reduced, and the recovery efficiency is improved.
