An overheat reminding device for a power distribution cabinet relates to the technical field of power distribution. The overheat reminding device comprises a cabinet body, wherein a closed cavity is formed in the middle of the cabinet body, a heat conduction block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top part of the cabinet body, an air bag fixedly connected with the bottom part of the heat conduction block is fixedly connected to the top part of the closed cavity, sealing blocks are movably connected to the two sides of the top part of the cabinet body, the outer sides of the sealing blocks are sleeved with first springs fixedly connected with the inner wall of the cabinet body, and the bottom part of the air bag is fixedly connected with a piston block movably connected with the inner wall of the cabinet body. According to the overheat reminding device for the power distribution cabinet, through cooperative use of the water storage tank and the closed cavity, when the temperature in the cabinet body is too high, copper sulfate in the closed cavity falls into the water storage tank, the color of water in the water storage tank becomes blue, light emitted by a light emitter is difficult to penetrate through, the illumination intensity of a photoresistor is reduced, and at the moment, the photoresistor is powered off, so that the whole circuit is disconnected, the safe use of the power distribution cabinet is effectively ensured, and the practicability is effectively improved.
