The invention provides a vertical face horizontal axis driving intensively stacked orifice plate storing and taking device of a distribution instrument, and belongs to the technical field of medium distribution equipment. The device comprises a base, a driver, an orifice plate box, a first supporting block, a second supporting block, a first driving shaft, a second driving shaft, a first driven shaft, a second driven shaft, a first transmission mechanism, a second transmission mechanism, a third transmission mechanism and a fourth transmission mechanism. Storing and taking of orifice plates can be comprehensively achieved by the adoption of the driver, a vertical face inclined axis driving transmission mechanism, the two supporting blocks, the orifice plate box and the like. The driver drives the first supporting block and the second supporting block to work together through the transmission mechanisms to achieve storing and taking of the orifice plates in the bottom layer. The device is used in the medium distribution instrument, is good in compatibility and can be used for operating the orifice plates of different specifications. The mechanical structure is simple, requirements for machining precision and installation precision are low, only one driver is needed, a control system is simple, the orifice plates are tightly stacked in the orifice plate box, and the utilization rate of space is high.
