The method for detecting uneven defects on the surface of automobile sheet metal parts according to claim 1, characterized in that: The specific steps include: Step 1: First, one end of the air pipe is connected to the output end of the first vacuum pump (14), and the other end is connected to a five-way joint. Four pipes are further extended from the four ports on the top of the five-way joint and connected to the first suction cup (10). At the same time, one end of the second air pipe is connected to the output end of the second vacuum pump (34). Then, a three-way joint is used to connect the other end of the second air pipe, and two pipes are extended from the other two joints of the three-way joint to be connected to the second suction cup (31). The automobile sheet metal is further placed between the four first suction cups (10). After that, the first vacuum pump (14) is started to extract the air between the automobile sheet metal and the first suction cup (10); Step 2: The driving motor (22) starts and drives the reducer (23) to work. The reducer (23) increases the torque and drives the transmission shaft (24) to rotate. As the transmission shaft (24) rotates, the driving bevel gear (25) is driven to rotate, and the driving bevel gear (25) is engaged with the driven bevel gear (20) to drive the driven bevel gear (20) to rotate. The driven bevel gear (20) rotates and drives the threaded rod (21) to rotate. The rotating threaded rod (21) and the intermediate connection member (15) perform a threaded motion, so that the intermediate connection member (15) slides back and forth between the two movable rails (1). As the intermediate connection member (15) moves, the first connection member (12) and the second connection member (17) are driven to move together. When the first connection member (12) and the second connection member (17) move, the four pulleys (16) roll back and forth in the sliding groove (9). At the same time, the second connection member (17) drives the four automobile sheet metal parts on the first suction cup (10) to move together. Step 3: As the driving motor (22) works and the automobile sheet metal part moves, the second servo (40) also starts working, and the output end of the servo (40) drives the 3D scanner (39) to turn. As the automobile sheet metal part moves and adjusts its angle, the surface of the automobile sheet metal part is grid-scanned and a model is constructed. When the 3D scanner (39) scans, the grid mapped is projected onto the surface of the automobile sheet metal part, and the concave and convex defects on the surface of the automobile sheet metal part can be clearly mapped out, and the corresponding concave and convex defects can be constructed on the model at the same time. Then, as the automobile sheet metal part moves, when the automobile sheet metal part moves to the front end, the automobile sheet metal part blocks the infrared transmitter (7) from transmitting the infrared signal, so that the infrared receiver (8) cannot receive the signal, and the first vacuum pump (14) stops working, so that the suction force of the first suction cup (10) on the automobile sheet metal part is weakened. Step 4: The two second hydraulic cylinders (33) are further extended and retracted synchronously to adjust the position of the support column (36) so that the two second suction cups (31) are located at the central axis of the automobile sheet metal. Then, the two output ends of the double-axis cylinder (29) push an extension rod (30) in opposite directions respectively, and the first hydraulic cylinder (26) contracts to pull the sliding block (27) upward. Then, the first steering gear (28) is started to rotate the double-axis cylinder (29) 180 degrees so that the two second suction cups (31) are downward. The hydraulic cylinder (26) extends the sliding block (27) and pushes downward, and the two second suction cups (31) contact the surface of the automobile sheet metal. The second vacuum pump (34) is started to extract the air between the second suction cups (31) and the automobile sheet metal. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder (26) contracts again to pull the sliding block (27) upward. The first steering gear (28) is turned on and reversed 180 degrees. The first hydraulic cylinder (26) extends the sliding block (27) and pushes downward, so that the four first suction cups (10) contact the other side of the automobile sheet metal. Step 5: Finally, the first vacuum pump (14) starts working again to extract the air between a suction cup (10) and the automobile sheet metal part. Then, the second vacuum pump (34) stops working, and the second suction cup (31) loses its adsorption force on the automobile sheet metal part. The two second hydraulic cylinders (33) extend synchronously to move the two extension rods (30) to the left, so that the two extension rods (30) leave the second connecting member (17) and the automobile sheet metal part. The driving motor (22) reverses, so that the middle connecting member (15) moves backward, driving the automobile sheet metal part to move to the right together. The 3D scanner (39) scans and detects the other side of the automobile sheet metal part.
