1. A base station, comprising:
a base body;
a landing pad, provided on the base body;
a base station opening and closing structure movably disposed on the base body, the base station opening and closing structure comprising an open state and a closed state; and
a control system,
wherein in the open state, the base station opening and closing structure provides 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 provides 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 is 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,
the base station opening and closing structure further comprises an intermediate state between the open state and the closed state, wherein when the base station opening and closing structure is in the intermediate state, the base station opening and closing structure is in contact with the blades to propel the blades to retract, and
at a time that the aerial vehicle landing on the landing pad and the base station opening and closing structure is in the intermediate state, the control system is configured to control the blades of the aerial vehicle to rotate, such that the blades have a first tip speed, and simultaneously control the base station opening and closing structure to close at a second speed, the first tip speed is greater than the second speed.
