Abstract
The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a charging platform and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The charging platform includes a charging interface, a control unit, a charging switch, and a charging power supply. A power receiving interface and a battery pack are disposed in the unmanned aerial vehicle. A first end of the power receiving interface is connected to an output end of the battery pack. A second end of the power receiving interface is connected to a charging end of the battery pack. The charging switch is connected in series between the charging power supply and a second end of the charging interface. A power supply end of the control unit is connected to a first end of the charging interface. A first end of the control unit is connected to a control end of the charging switch.
