[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A turning reminder component for bedridden patients includes a clock face 1 and several position reminder buttons 2. By setting the clock face 1 and several position reminder buttons 2, the problem that in the prior art, medical staff or family members have difficulty accurately grasping the turning time of the patient when turning the patient, and also have difficulty remembering the previous turning position can be solved.

[0026] The following is a detailed description of clock face 1:

[0027] The clock face 1 has several time markings evenly distributed around its front side, which can remind family members or medical staff to turn the bedridden patient over on time. Specifically, the clock face 1 consists of a fixing ring 101, a back cover 102 fixed to the rear end of the fixing ring 101, and a front cover 103 fixed to the front end of the fixing ring 101; each time marking is set on the outer side of the front cover 103. Since bedridden patients are typically turned over every two hours, to improve visual appeal, even-numbered time markings are painted in one color, and odd-numbered time markings are painted in another color, thus better reminding family members or medical staff.

[0028] In this embodiment, the front cover 103 has a hollowed-out center. An end cap 3 extending to the hollowed-out center of the front cover 103 is fixed to the inner center of the rear cover 102. The end cap 3 is nail-shaped, wider on the outside and narrower on the inside, to facilitate the sliding of the fixing key 203 in the posture reminder key 2 on the inner side of the end cap 3. The outer side of the end cap 3 is flush with the outer side of the front cover 103, to facilitate the sliding of the reminder key 202 in the posture reminder key 2 on the outer sides of the end cap 3 and the front cover 103.

[0029] It should be added that the gap between the end cap 3 and the front cover 103 forms an annular groove 4, and a sliding groove 5 is provided on the front cover 103, which corresponds one-to-one with each time scale and is connected to the annular groove 4. The slider 201 in the body position reminder button 2 can slide in the annular groove 4. When it slides into the sliding groove 5, it corresponds to the corresponding time scale, thereby reminding family members or medical staff.

[0030] The following is a detailed description of the posture reminder button 2:

[0031] Each position reminder button 2 is magnetically attached to the front side of the clock face 1 to remind medical staff or family members when a patient needs to be turned over. Specifically, the position reminder button 2 consists of a slide bar 201, a reminder button 202 fixed to the front end of the slide bar 201, and a fixing button 203 fixed to the rear end of the slide bar 201. The slide bar 201 slides within the annular groove 4 or the sliding groove 5. The reminder button 202 is located on the outer side of the front cover 103, and the fixing button 203 is located between the front cover 103 and the rear cover 102. When the user holds the reminder button 202, the slide bar 201 slides within the annular groove 4; when the slide bar 201 slides into the sliding groove 5, it corresponds to the corresponding time scale. To facilitate the slide bar 201's entry from the annular groove 4 into the sliding groove 5, the junction of the sliding groove 5 and the annular groove 4 is chamfered.

[0032] In this embodiment, it should be noted that there are three body position reminder buttons 2. The outer surfaces of the three reminder buttons 202 are marked with "Left L", "Flanking F" and "Right R" respectively, and the three reminder buttons 202 are different colors, so as to effectively remind the patient to turn over.

[0033] Additionally, it should be noted that the diameter of the reminder button 202 is larger than the diameter of the fixed button 203, making it easier for the user to hold the reminder button 202 and move its position. The reminder button 202, the slider 201, and the fixed button 203 work together to form an I-shaped structure, which allows it to be securely locked between the front cover 103 or the front cover 103 and the end cover 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, a magnet 6 is embedded on the outer side of the fixing key 203, and an annular iron piece 7 is embedded on the inner side of the back cover 102; the cooperation of the magnet 6 and the annular iron piece 7 fixes the slide rod 201 to the end of the slide groove 5, thereby fixing the position of the body position reminder key 2.

[0035] The working principle is as follows:

[0036] Patients who are routinely bedridden are turned over every 2 hours, such as Figure 1 As shown, a posture reminder button 2 with the "Left L" symbol is placed at the 12 o'clock position, a posture reminder button 2 with the "F" symbol is placed at the 2 o'clock position, and a posture reminder button 2 with the "R" symbol is placed at the 4 o'clock position.

[0037] At 12 o'clock, medical staff or family members turn the bedridden patient to the left side; at 2 o'clock, medical staff or family members turn the bedridden patient to the supine position; at 4 o'clock, medical staff or family members turn the bedridden patient to the right side.

[0038] When the position of the posture reminder key 2 needs to be adjusted, the user holds the posture reminder key 2 and moves the slider 201 from the slide groove 5 into the annular groove 4, and then slides it along the annular groove 4 to the desired slide groove 5 until the slider 5 slides to the end of the other slide groove 5; then the user releases the posture reminder key 2, and the position of the posture reminder key 2 can be fixed by the cooperation of the magnet 6 and the annular iron piece 7.

[0039] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
