The invention discloses a blast furnace copper cooling plate water leakage inspection method and an online cutting and blocking method. Firstly, the water leakage direction is determined according to the temperature tendency of a furnace body thermocouple and the single-direction flow meter fluctuation tendency of a cooling system, ignition is conducted according to the exhausting and breathing situation, and water leakage string copper cooling plates are determined; and finally, a specific water leakage copper cooling plate is determined in the water leakage string copper cooling plates. According to the blast furnace copper cooling plate water leakage inspection method and the online cutting and blocking method, through the water feeding and retreating valve water closing examination, whether the copper cooling plate is damaged or not is judged, if no breathing phenomenon exists in a valve, it is shown that cooling equipment is in good condition, and if breathing of an exhaust valve happens, it is shown that the cooling equipment is damaged, confirmation is achieved through assistance of ignition of outer coal gas, a specific string and a specific block are sought, industrial water circulates through changing for serious damage, and the water leakage amount is controlled. The specific cooling plate is sought firstly, then judgment of an inner cavity and an outer cavity is conducted, and through the outer metal hose connecting manner change, online dismounting and cutting and blocking are conducted. By means of the blast furnace copper cooling plate water leakage inspection method and the online cutting and blocking method, an inner channel and an outer channel of the damaged copper cooling plate can be rapidly sought and cut away, a large amount of cooling water is prevented from leaking into a furnace, and the service life of the blast furnace is prolonged.
