A method for horizontal directional drilling construction of municipal underground pipelines according to claim 7, characterized in that: The monitoring terminal includes a hardware structure and a software structure. The hardware structure consists of a processor and a large-capacity storage device, which are used to quickly process massive amounts of sensor data and classify and store the data. The software structure is equipped with visual monitoring software, which is used to display the real-time change curves of various parameters. The software structure also includes an early warning system. When the parameters exceed the preset threshold, the early warning system issues an audible and visual alarm to remind the operator to adjust the construction parameters or check the equipment in time. The remote diagnostics and maintenance module has a remote connection function, which can remotely access monitoring terminal data via the Internet to remotely diagnose the equipment's operating status. By combining historical equipment operating data with a fault case database, the causes of faults are analyzed and maintenance suggestions are provided.
