A location locking unit, which is connected to the tracing unit and the numbering database, is used to match the leak number in the numbering database and determine the location coordinates of the leaking pipeline and the direction of the leak based on the matching result.

6. A leakage monitoring system for existing underground pipe networks according to claim 5, characterized in that, The inspection alarm module includes: The drone inspection unit, connected to the location locking unit, is used to inspect the leaking pipeline based on its location coordinates. The drone inspection unit is equipped with an infrared sensor to capture ground images and transmit them to a terminal device for display. The terminal device is connected to the UAV inspection unit and the leakage determination unit. It is used to display ground images and receive leakage degree information. The leakage location is verified by manually observing high-temperature areas and seepage areas in the images. The terminal device controls the UAV inspection unit to start patrolling according to the leakage alarm signal. An alarm unit, connected to the terminal device, is used to send information about the location and extent of the leak to maintenance personnel.

7. A leakage monitoring system for existing underground pipe networks according to claim 6, characterized in that, The inspection alarm module also includes: A signal receiving unit is installed on the UAV inspection unit and wirelessly connected to the signal acquisition terminal. It is used to receive horizontal and vertical temperature data in real time and send the data and ground images to the terminal device. When the UAV inspection unit arrives above the signal acquisition terminal, it receives the horizontal and vertical temperature data of the leaking pipeline and sends it to the terminal device. The terminal device then sets the temperature data according to a preset temperature range and inserts the corresponding color into the ground image for display.
