The invention discloses a mechanical soft starting auxiliary driving device. The mechanical soft starting auxiliary driving device comprises a prime motor, a mechanical soft starting device, a speed changing device, a working mechanism, a gate control system, a clutch, a second driving motor, a hydraulic pump, a second safe valve, a three-position four-way control valve, a controller, a power device, a combined reversing valve, an energy accumulator, a pressure sensor, a two-position two-way control valve and a first safe valve. When the working mechanism starts, the power device is in the hydraulic motor working condition to assist in starting of the working mechanism, and when the working mechanism brakes, the power device is in the pump working condition to assist in braking. By means of the mechanical soft starting auxiliary driving device, the effects of soft starting and soft stopping of common driving devices can be achieved, moreover, auxiliary braking and braking energy recycling can be achieved through an energy recycling device, the energy consumption of the working mechanism in the starting and stopping process is reduced, and the problem that the common existing driving devices cannot achieve energy saving effect basically is solved.
