The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum production of petroleum wells, and particularly relates to a lifting device for a petroleum production vane pump of a petroleum well. The lifting device comprises a single-plate anchor, a pump straightener, a sand spinner, a vane pump body, a sand settler, a spline transmission barrel assembly, a high temperature gas injection valve, a sucker rod, a petroleum pipe, a wellbore sleeve, a Christmas tree, a driving head and a polish rod, wherein the wellbore sleeve is arranged below the ground surface; the single-plate anchor, the pump straightener, the sand spinner, the vane pump body, the sand settler, the spline transmission barrel assembly, the high temperature gas injection valve and the petroleum pipe which are connected in sequence from bottom to top are arranged in the wellbore sleeve; the sucker rod is inserted into the petroleum pipe, and the lower end of the sucker rod is connected with the high temperature gas injection valve; the Christmas tree is located above the ground surface; the polish rod is inserted into the Christmas tree, and is connected with the upper end of the sucker rod; the polish rod is connected with the driving head and can be driven by the driving head to rotate. The lifting device for the petroleum production vane pump of the petroleum well is applicable to thermal recovery of thin petroleum, thick petroleum and high pour point petroleum and does not have gas locking in a high temperature gas-containing well; for sand-containing well, a sand spinning filter is arranged below the pump, so that the use range is wide.
