The invention discloses a receiving device for an underwater perpendicular transportation system. The receiving device comprises an ocean platform, a navigation cable, a transportation device, a receiving cabin, a drainage cabin and an underwater space station. The navigation cable is connected with the ocean platform and the receiving cabin. The transportation device moves up and down along the navigation cable and moves into the receiving cabin from the ocean platform, the receiving cabin is closed, the drainage cabin drains water, and transported materials are fed into the underwater space station through the transportation device. According to the receiving device for the underwater perpendicular transportation system, the receiving device for the underwater perpendicular transportation system is built with the underwater space station as a support, the cost is low, and the effects of being convenient and efficient are achieved; fixed-point putting of water surface and underwater goods and materials can be achieved; in addition, the transportation system and the receiving system are both watertight, and thus watertight transportation of the goods and the materials can be achieved; and the receiving cabin and a ballast cabin are separated, so that the operation efficiency is improved advantageously.
