The invention discloses a piled plate lifting baffle protection device and a control method thereof. The piled plate lifting baffle protection device comprises a piled plate lifting baffle and a piled plate roller way, the piled plate lifting baffle is located at the tail end of the piled plate roller way, the piled plate roller way is further provided with a roller way cover plate, the roller way cover plate is provided with a rectangular opening, and the rectangular opening is located at the position 3 m away from the piled plate lifting baffle. A photoelectric switch installed on a photoelectric switch bracket is arranged above the rectangular opening. According to the control method of the piled plate lifting baffle protection device, a detection signal of the photoelectric switch serves as a speed decrease signal of a PLC control system; when the speed decrease signal is triggered, the linear speed of the piled plate roller way is decreased to 30% of the original speed, and v is equal to 0.6 m/s; and 2.8 s after the speed decrease signal is triggered, the linear speed of the piled plate roller way is decreased to zero, the roller way stops rotating, and v is equal to 0 m/s. By means of the piled plate lifting baffle protection device and the control method of the piled plate lifting baffle protection device, soft contact between the piled plate lifting baffle and a steel plate is achieved, on one hand, strong impact of the steel plate on the lifting baffle is effectively avoided, and the service life of the piled plate lifting baffle is prolonged; and on the other hand, impact noise is eliminated.
