The invention belongs to the technical field of hydraulic energy saving, and relates to an electro-hydraulic direct-drive 
servo closed differential control driving 
system for a stepping lifting mechanism. The 
system involves a double-rotation-direction 
hydraulic pump, a differential 
hydraulic cylinder, a double-rotation-direction 
servo motor and an energy accumulator set, wherein the double-rotation-direction 
hydraulic pump is provided with two pressure oil opening ends, and the which double-rotation-direction 
hydraulic pump is connected with the energy accumulator set and the differential 
hydraulic cylinder correspondingly; and the double-rotation-direction 
servo motor is used for controlling the output flow and direction of the double-rotation-direction hydraulic pump. According to the electro-hydraulic direct-drive servo closed differential control driving 
system for the stepping lifting mechanism, an electro-hydraulic direct-drive servo technology is combined with the energy accumulator set and an 
electric energy storage device to control the lifting motion of the differential 
hydraulic cylinder, and a differential hydraulic cylinder control method is adopted, so that the transmission 
control principle is simplified, the service life of the hydraulic cylinder is prolonged, the motion characteristic of the driving system is improved, and valve control throttling loss is avoided; and meanwhile, 
gravitational potential energy and servo motor braking energy are recycled, and compared with a traditional energy-saving technology, the energy-saving efficiency is higher, the system is simpler, the reliability is higher, the investment is more saved, and the operation and maintenance cost is lower.
