A detection method of an ultrasonic eddy current integrated double-rail flaw detector, using the ultrasonic eddy current integrated double-rail flaw detector according to any one of claims 1 to 6 to perform flaw detection on a left rail and a right rail, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1, install the ultrasonic data acquisition processor, the eddy current data acquisition processor and the host computer on the installation platform, install the encoder on the axle of one of the wheels, install two mounting brackets on both sides of the installation platform opposite to each other, install the first ultrasonic wheel probe group and the first eddy current probe group on one mounting bracket along the length direction of the left rail, and place them on the tread of the left rail, and install the second ultrasonic wheel probe group and the second eddy current probe group on another mounting bracket along the length direction of the right rail, and place them on the tread of the right rail; Step 2, the ultrasonic data acquisition processor and the eddy current data acquisition processor are both connected to the host computer for communication, the first ultrasonic wheel probe group and the second ultrasonic wheel probe group are both connected to the ultrasonic data acquisition processor for communication, the first eddy current probe group and the second eddy current probe group are both connected to the eddy current data acquisition processor for communication, the encoder is connected to the ultrasonic data acquisition processor and the eddy current data acquisition processor for communication, confirm that the first ultrasonic wheel probe group and the first eddy current probe group fit the tread of the left rail, and confirm that the second ultrasonic wheel probe group and the second eddy current probe group fit the tread of the right rail; Step 3: Turn on the power, start the host computer, set the detection information and parameters, and start the detection. As the traveling vehicle starts to move, the encoder is triggered to generate a pulse signal. The pulse signal of the encoder is amplified by the signal amplifier, and then divided into two signals and sent to the ultrasonic flaw detection data acquisition processor and the eddy current flaw detection data acquisition processor synchronously. The pulse signal triggers the first ultrasonic wheel probe group, the second ultrasonic wheel probe group, the first eddy current probe group and the second eddy current probe group to start collecting detection signals, and at the same time, the flaw detection data is synchronously encoded and position calibrated; Step 4: The ultrasonic data acquisition processor and the eddy current data acquisition processor upload the flaw detection data processed by the encoder number to the host computer. The host computer processes and analyzes the data with the encoder number sent by the ultrasonic data acquisition processor and the eddy current data acquisition processor, thereby performing ultrasonic detection on the internal damage and vertical damage of the rail head, rail waist and extended parts of the left and right rails, and performing eddy current detection on the surface cracks of the rail tread.
