The invention relates to an underwater automatic docking mechanism. Two clamping assemblies are controlled through a driving assembly to tightly clamp or loosen a docking joint part, so that docking or loosening of a docking chuck part and the docking joint part is realized and the docking chuck part and the docking joint part do not need to be manually docked or loosened, so that the automation degree of the docking is improved. A sensing switch in the driving assembly can be used for detecting relative positions of the docking chuck part and the docking joint part, so that automatic controlof the driving assembly is realized; furthermore, the automation degree of the automatic docking mechanism is improved. 本发明涉及种水下自动对接机构，通过个驱动组件控制两个卡接组件抱紧或松开对接头部件，实现对接卡盘部件和对接头部件的对接或松开，不需要手动对接或者松开，从而提高了对接的自动化程度。其中驱动组件中的传感开关可探测到对接卡盘部件和对接头部件的相对位置，从而实现驱动组件的自动控制，进步提高了自动对接机构的自动化程度。
