It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] In this application, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms "install", "set", "connect", "fix", "screw", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly defined, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances. Example 1
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a medication reminder device includes a housing and a music module (not shown in the figure). The music module includes a circuit board and a loudspeaker, a power supply, a button 4 and a music chip arranged on the circuit board. The button 4 is connected to the circuit board through a wire. Since one medicine corresponds to one music chip, the music chip only needs to store one instruction for use. According to usage and in order to reduce costs, the music chip uses a single song chip. By pressing the button 4, the audio stored in the music chip is played. In order to control the volume, a button battery can be used for power supply, so that it can be pasted on a small-sized medicine box or medicine bottle cap. The housing includes a shell 1 and a cover 2. The cover 2 is covered on the shell 1 and is detachably connected by a buckle or screw 3. A chamber is formed in the shell 1. The music module is arranged in the chamber. The shell 1 is provided with a button 4 hole for the button 4 to extend out, the cover 2 is provided with a sound amplification hole 5, and the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a backing glue 6, and the shell 1 is pasted on the medicine box by the backing glue 6.
[0020] Among them, a notch 7 connected to the button hole 4 is provided on the side wall of the shell 1, and a limit plate 8 is provided on the cover body 2. The limit plate 8 extends into the notch 7 and rests on the side of the button 4.
