Patent ID: 7165324

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a composite high voltage insulator comprising the steps: manufacturing a plurality of skirts, and manufacturing a rod by covering an outer surface of an FRP rod with a sheath so that the skirts are continuously disposed along the cylindrical surface of the rod; arranging the skirts in a skirt holder such that the skirts are connected in a line; expanding inner diameters of the skirts by applying an adhesive agent to the outer surface of an expanding pipe and inserting the expanding pipe into holes of the skirts under the condition that the expanding pipe is rotated at a designated speed; inserting the rod into the expanding pipe; positioning inner surfaces of the holes of the skirts to contact the outer surface of the rod by separating the expanding pipe from the holes of the skirts; and hardening the adhesive agent by heating the skirts and the rod to a designated temperature for a designated time, wherein the inner diameters of the skirts are smaller than the outer diameter of the rod, and the inner diameter of the expanding pipe is larger than the outer diameter of the rod.
