[0002] Boiler coal feeder is sent into furnace by coal transmission pipeline, when the pipeline close to furnace is influenced by thermal expansion and contraction, the pipeline is easy to be deformed and damaged due to thermal stress, which affects the continuity and safety of coal transmission, and the expansion joint can absorb the length change to prevent excessive stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby protecting the safe operation of pipeline system.
[0003] However, the existing expansion joint structure has some shortcomings. The structure is that one end of the inner flow guide pipe is welded in the upper outer pipe, the upper outer pipe is connected with the lower outer pipe through the buffer pipe, the other end of the inner flow guide pipe extends into the lower outer pipe, and the like Figure 1 The coal falls vertically from the coal feeder, so the expansion joint is installed vertically. Since the diameter of the upper outer pipe of the expansion joint is larger than the diameter of the inner flow guide pipe, a step is formed at the connection between the two, which is washed by coal flow, causing the connection to be easily disconnected due to wear, and further causing the flow guide cylinder to fall off, resulting in boiler coal emergency shutdown, which seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the system.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the expansion joint to improve its service life and reliability, and meet the demand for safe and stable operation of the boiler coal system. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0007] Preferably, the other end of the upper flow guide pipe is provided with a flange.
[0008] Preferably, the other end of the lower flow guide pipe is provided with a flange.

[0012] The utility model discloses the beneficial effects are as follows:
[0013] The lower flow guide pipe and the upper flow guide pipe of the coal expansion joint of the utility model are coaxial and have the same inner diameter, which ensures that the coal flow will not be locally scoured due to sudden reduction of the pipe diameter during the conveying process, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the existing expansion joint, improving the service life, and further, the utility model has a more stable structure, can better withstand the impact force of the coal flow and the thermal expansion and cold contraction stress of the pipe, reduces the risk of failure caused by structural looseness or damage, and thereby improves the operation efficiency of the system.
