The invention discloses a rainproof strain insulator. The rainproof strain insulator comprises a core rod, umbrella skirts, iron caps, reinforced rings, bearings, rain shielding plates, weight balanceapparatuses, bird-expelling needles and fixers; the umbrella skirts are fixedly arranged outside the core rod in a sleeving manner; the iron caps are fixedly arranged at the two ends of the core rodin a sleeving manner; the fixers are fixedly connected with the outer sides of the corresponding iron caps; the bearings are fixedly connected in the umbrella skirt connecting positions at the two ends; the rain shielding plates are fixedly connected with the top of the bearings through supporting rods; and the weight balance apparatuses are fixedly connected with the bottoms of the bearings through the supporting rods. By virtue of additional rain shielding plates outside the umbrella skirts, contact between the umbrella skirts and rain and snow in rainy and snowy days can be avoided, therebyavoiding corrosion to the umbrella skirts by rain and snow, avoiding a phenomena of umbrella skirt breaking caused by external force impact, reinforcing the protection effect on the core rod, prolonging the service life of the strain insulator, and maintaining safety operation of power transmission and transformation.
