The invention provides an HP type coal mill. The HP type coal mill comprises a static ring, a nozzle ring mounting cavity, a rotary nozzle ring and a first protection plate, wherein the static ring comprises an upper annular expanding cylinder, a vertical cylinder and a lower annular expanding cylinder, and the vertical cylinder is connected with the upper annular expanding cylinder and the lower annular expanding cylinder; the coal mill is provided with the cylindrical nozzle ring mounting cavity, and the axis of the nozzle ring mounting cavity is vertical; the rotary nozzle ring is arranged in the nozzle ring mounting cavity, the rotary nozzle ring can rotate along the axis of the rotary nozzle ring, and a plurality of blades are uniformly distributed on the peripheral surface of the rotary nozzle ring in the circumferential direction; and the first protection plate is an expanding annular plate, the first protection plate is attached to the inner wall face of the upper annular expanding cylinder and fixedly connected with the upper annular expanding cylinder, and the first protection plate protects the upper annular expanding cylinder. According to the coal mill, the discharge amount of pebble coal is reduced, the performance of the coal mill is improved, meanwhile, the abrasion of the annular expanding cylinder and the abrasion of a shell are obviously reduced, the overhaul period is prolonged, and the maintenance cost is reduced.
