The invention discloses a method and a device for an endurance bending test of a composite insulator. The device consists of a motor (1), a belt pulley (2), a belt (3), a belt pulley (4), a speed reducer (5), a coupling (6), a roller (7), a descending wire rope (8), a descending wire rope (9), an ascending wire rope (10), an iron tower (11), an upper fixed pulley (12), an upper pulley block (13), a slide rail (14), a lower pulley block (15), a lower fixed pulley (16), a pressure sensor (17), the composite insulator (18) and a digital display meter (19). The method and the device realize the aging tests on the mechanical strength of the composite insulator, the interface quality of a jacket and a core rod, and the bonding quality of the jacket and an umbrella skirt, and the detection on an ultimate strength test, and ensure the quality of the composite insulator.
