A drone docking system (10) for multicopter drone (50) comprises a docking station (20) having a receiver (26). The receiver (26) is adapted to connect to a docking formation (52) mounted atop the drone (50) such that when the drone (50) is docked with the docking station (20), the drone (50) is suspended from and below the docking station (20). A fail-safe mechanical connection (56, 32) is provided to connect the docking formation (52) to the receiver (26). One or more electromagnets (34, 58) may be used to connect the docking formation (52) to the receiver (26), which electromagnets (34, 58) are suitably controllable to provide a smooth transition between docked and free-flight states of the drone (50) and optionally to guide the docking formation (52) into alignment with the receiver (26). The drone (50) suitably has a payload rendering it useful for surveillance and crime prevention/detection purposes.

    一种用于多翼型无人机(50)的无人机对接系统(10),包括一具有一接收器(26)的对接站(20)。该接收器(26)适合于连接到安装在无人机(50)顶部的一对接结构(52),使得当无人机(50)对接于对接站(20)时,无人机(50)悬挂在对接站(20)的下方。提供一自动防故障的机械结构连接(56、32),以将对接结构(52)连接到接收器(26)。可以使用一个或多个电磁体(34、58)来将对接结构(52)连接到接收器(26),可适当控制电磁体(34、58)以为无人机(50)在对接和自由飞行状态之间提供平滑转换,并且可选地引导对接结构(52)对准接收器(26)。无人机(50)适当地具有能使无人机在监控和犯罪预防/侦查方面发挥作用的有效载荷。
