The invention relates to the technical field of pharmacy automation, and especially relates to a vertical type rotary cabinet. The vertical type rotary cabinet comprises a transmission chain, a power source, a drug box frame, support arms, and a cabinet for installing the transmission chain and the power source. The support arms each comprise a support rod and a bending portion. The bending portions are arranged at one ends of the support rod, and the bending portions are in rotational connection with the transmission chain; the ends, which are away from the bending portions, of the supporting rods are in rotational connection with the drug box frame, and the bending portions are bent towards the direction of the drug box frame; and the power source is arranged in the transmission chain and is transmitting connection with the transmission chain to drive the transmission chain to rotate. The ends, which are away from the bending portions, of the supporting rods are used for connection with the drug box frame, the bending portions are connected with the transmission chain, and at the moment, the bending portions are bent towards the direction of the drug box frame, such that the transmission chain and the power source can be hidden behind the drug box frame, in other words, the width of the transmission chain is smaller than the width of the drug box frame, the space utilization rate is improved, the land occupation area is reduced, and application of users is facilitated.
