The invention discloses an upwards-dialing and cutting type coal sample division device, comprising a division device body which includes an outer frame, a conical reshaper, a division dialing plate and a split baffle, wherein the top of the outer frame is provided with a sample inlet, the shape of the top of the conical reshaper is matched with that of the sample inlet, the area of the top of the conical reshaper is more than that of the bottom of the same, the lower end of division dialing plate is fixed on the outer frame by a rotary mechanism and above the split baffle , and the bottom of the outer frame is divided into two sample outlets by the split baffle. The method also provides two division methods; through the two division methods, divided samples can meet international requirements, in the division process, no leakage points exist; as the division dialing plate upwards dials and cuts coal samples, the coal flow has short contact time and area in the division device, the divided coal samples are representative, and the problems of moisture loss, particle size segregation and being easy to cause dust are overcome; the upwards-dialing and cutting type coal sample division device has greatly improved division precision than existing equipment.
