The invention discloses a heat insulation method for a top combustion type silicon brick hot-blast stove. Each heat insulation operation procedure of the heat insulation method comprises the following operation steps: burning, banking, blasting and burning again; all the heat insulation operation procedures are circularly performed in sequence; when the temperature of the arch of the hot-blast stove drops to 900 DEG C, burning is started, and a combustion-supporting air combustion valve, a gas shut-off valve and an air and gas regulating valve are opened to adjust the volume of gas to 40000 to 55000 m3/h, the gas pressure to 6 to 10 kpa, the combustion-supporting air pressure to 4 to 5 kpa, and the ratio of the combustion-supporting air flow rate to the volume of gas to 0.6 to 0.7; after the temperature of the arch at the upper part of the hot-blast stove is burnt to 1350 DEG C, the burning is stopped, and banking operation is performed; when the temperature of the arch of the hot-blast stove drops to 900 DEG C, blasting is started, a manhole at the lower part of the hot-blast stove is opened, and air is sent to the hot-blast stove with the reference that the increasing rate of the arch temperature is 1 DEG C/min; and when the temperature of silicon bricks drops to 900 DEG C, air supply is stopped, and the manhole, a hot blast valve and a backflow blowing-down valve are closed; and burning is repeated, and the cycle is conducted sequentially.
