The invention discloses a high-temperature early warning system of a coupler, and belongs to the technical field of early warning systems of transmission machinery. The high-temperature early warning system comprises a temperature sensor, a signal transmitter, a signal receiver, a central processing unit, an indicator lamp, an alarm device, a displayer and a power source, wherein the temperature sensor and the signal transmitter are arranged on an outer shell of the coupler, and the temperature sensor, the signal transmitter and the power source are connected in sequence; the signal transmitter is matched with the signal receiver and is in wireless connection with the signal receiver; the signal receiver is respectively connected with the indicator lamp, the alarm device and the displayer through the central processing unit, and the signal receiver, the central processing unit, the indicator lamp, the alarm device and the displayer are respectively connected with the power source. The high-temperature early warning system has the advantages that the temperature sensor measures the working oil temperature in the coupler and transmits a result to the central processing unit; when the measurement result exceeds a set range value, the indicator lamp and the alarm device are opened under the control of the central processing unit to remind users to pay attention, the situation that the coupler is damaged because the oil temperature is overhigh is avoided, and oil waste caused by use of a fusible plug is also avoided.
