The invention provides a space capturing and locking device. The space capturing and locking device comprises a driving structure and a driven structure. The driving structure comprises a shell assembly, a driving assembly, a transmission assembly, an upper plate auxiliary assembly and three sets of finger assemblies. The shell assembly is used for supporting and being connected with the driving assembly, the transmission assembly, the upper plate auxiliary assembly and the finger assemblies. The upper plate auxiliary assembly comprises rollers. The finger assemblies comprise four-bar mechanisms. The driving assembly drives the transmission assembly, the transmission assembly converts rotational motion into linear motion, the transmission assembly controls the finger assemblies to move upwards and downwards, the three sets of finger assemblies are closed due to compression of the rollers when moving downwards, and then the driven structure matched with the driving structure is clamped. The four-bar mechanism is in linkage when the finger assemblies move upwards, the finger assemblies are driven to be opened, and then the driven structure is released. The space capturing and locking device can be used for capturing and locking of a space mechanical arm on a small aircraft, and the advantages of being low in weight, small in size, large in tolerance and diverse in capture object are achieved.
