Abstract

This invention relates to a leak detection device for a liquid transmission pipeline. The device comprises an anode sensing area and a cathode sensing area of ​​opposite polarities on one side or two opposite surfaces of the main body. Multiple conductive elements penetrate the main body to conduct the signals between the anode and cathode sensing areas. A detection unit is disposed at any polarity (anode or cathode) sensing area on one surface of the main body. The detection unit is electrically connected to the multiple conductive elements and has an alarm unit that receives signals transmitted by the multiple conductive elements and generates an alarm function. This serves to alert the user to a leak in the liquid transmission pipeline, preventing the leak from damaging surrounding equipment or components.
