The invention provides an electric carry-scraper cable winding control device and method. The electric carry-scraper cable winding control device provided by the invention comprises a variable capacity pump connected with a hydraulic oil tank, the variable capacity pump is connected with two oil ways, an electromagnetic directional valve and a first pilot overflow valve are arranged on one oil way and reach a control portion of the variable capacity pump, a second pilot overflow valve and a hydraulic motor are arranged on the other oil way, and an oil return pipeline of the hydraulic motor is connected with the hydraulic oil tank through one-way valves and a radiator. By adopting the electric carry-scraper cable winding control device and method provided by the invention, maintenance is convenient, functions of a PLC control cable winding portion are removed, and the number of fault points is decreased; and a cable winding system is regulated and changed into a pump control system from a prior valve control system, and system heating is reduced.
