The invention provides a reciprocating vertical conveyor and belongs to the field of modern intelligent logistics storage. The novel reciprocating vertical conveyor mainly comprises a fixing frame anda lifting platform. The lifting platform comprises a platform main body, a power device and a transmission device. The power device transfer power through the transmission device and is finally engaged with a rack through a gear set, circular motion of the power device is converted to be linear motion of the lifting platform in the vertical direction, and the lifting platform is driven to ascendand descend. According to the reciprocating vertical conveyor, modular production is convenient, manufacturing and installation are simplified, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and precise transmission is ensured. Stand column frame unitization is provided, the lifting height can be adjusted, the overall structure is simple and compact, and the reciprocating vertical conveyor can be used as vertical lifting equipment for people or cargos, can also be used in cooperation with a shuttle bus, and better serve modern intelligent storage logistics systems.
