A pier collision preventing and energy dissipation device capable of ascending and descending automatically comprises a pier and is characterized by being composed of an annular protection sleeve, connecting springs, sliding blocks and guide rails. The guide rails are arranged on the outer wall of the pier, the axial direction of the guide rails is parallel to the axial direction of the pier, and the guide rails are distributed in the circumferential direction of the pier. The sliding blocks and the guide rails are in sliding connection, and the sliding blocks correspond to the guide rails one to one. The annular protection sleeve is connected outside the pier in a sleeved mode, and a clearance is reserved between the annular protection sleeve and the pier. One end of each connecting spring is connected with the inner circumferential face of the annular protection sleeve, the other ends of the connecting springs are connected with the sliding blocks, the connecting springs correspond to the sliding blocks one to one, and the connecting springs are distributed in the circumferential direction of the annular protection sleeve. The pier collision preventing and energy dissipation device has the advantages that the protection device can move along with the variation of the water level, the structural utilization rate of the protection device is greatly improved, the protection device is prevented from being arranged on the whole pier in the length direction, construction cost is low, and the protection effect is good.
