The small lead screw linear module 25 drives the detection plate 26 and the second detection probe 28 to move, so that the second detection probe 28 fully detects the defects of the balance block or the side wall of the crank arm. When the detection ring 181 moves to the set position (the movement position of the detection ring 181 can be judged by the controller 2 through the visual sensor 31), the controller 2 controls the small lead screw linear module 25 to drive the detection plate 26 and the cross plate 27 to move to the set position away from the detection ring 181. The first lead screw linear module 152 drives the cross plate 27 to move to the outer edge surface of the balance block or the crank arm to detect the defects. After the detection of one connecting rod journal or main shaft journal is completed, the controller 2 repeats the above detection steps to detect the surface defects of other connecting rod journals, main shaft journals, balance blocks and crank arms.
