The invention belongs to the technical field of surface charge accumulation characteristic testing of high-voltage direct current solid insulating material, and in particular relates to a measuring device of direct-current GIL basin-type insulator surface charge based on Pockels effect. The measuring device comprises a helium-neon laser, a polarized light separator, a high-speed camera, a 1/8 valve plate, bismuth silicate crystal, an insulating vacuum tube, a sliding block, a rotating shaft and an insulating guide rod. When measuring is conducted, a bismuth silicate probe is stuck to the surface of an basin-type insulator, a red laser is emitted from the helium-neon laser, the red laser is turned into elliptically polarized light through the polarized light separator and the 1/8 valve plate, the light entries into the bismuth silicate probe and is reflected at a division surface of bismuth silicate and the basin-type insulator, the light penetrates the 1/8 valve plate again and enters the high-speed camera after right-angle refraction is conducted on the light, optical intensity distribution is measured, and the size of the quantity of electric charge is acquired after being processed by a computer. The measuring device has the advantages that the structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and efficient measuring means is provided for studying of direct-current GIL basin-type insulator surface charge accumulation.
