The invention discloses an accident quick gate falling speed regulation device for a wind hoist and a control method. The accident quick gate falling speed regulation device comprises a brake, a height gauge, a speed sensor and a controller. The balancing magnitude relation of damping torque and holding force of the brake is controlled by acquiring the comparison value of the gate falling speed and the predetermined speed, and the purpose that a gate falls down at the predetermined speed is achieved; by acquiring the gate falling speed and the position signal, control is conducted according toa sequence closing method, quick falling of the gate and timely water flowing speed reduction are achieved, a hydraulic turbine set is prevented from operating in a runaway manner, the gate slowly falls into a bottom sill, the impact is reduced, and the gate and the bottom sill are protected from being damaged due to impact. According to the accident quick gate falling speed regulation device forthe wind hoist and the control method, the full-closed-loop automatic redundancy design is adopted, it is guaranteed that the gate is quickly, stably and safely closed in time under the accident state.
