Abstract
A base station may include a base body, a landing pad, and a base station opening and closing structure. The base station opening and closing structure may include an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the base station opening and closing structure may provide a landing space for an aerial vehicle to land on the landing pad, and in the closed state, the base station opening and closing structure may provide an accommodating space to accommodate the aerial vehicle. During a process of the base station opening and closing structure transitioning from the open state to the closed state, the base station opening and closing structure may be configured to propel some blades of the aerial vehicle partially protruding out of the accommodating space to fold or retract so as to accommodate the aerial vehicle within the accommodating space.
