[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the timing reminder cushion includes a cushion body 1. A timer 2 is provided on one side of the bottom of the cushion body 1, and the other side is used for the user to sit on and press. The timer 2 includes a circuit board 3, a pressing button 4, and a power module that provides power to the circuit board 3. The circuit board 3 integrates a reminder module and a timing module. The push button 4 is telescopically movable in the timer 2, which can be achieved by connecting the push button 4 to the bottom of the timer 2 with a spring. This is a conventional design and will not be described in this embodiment. The push button 4 includes a conductor block 41, and two spaced conductive sheets 31 are fixedly disposed on the surface of the circuit board 3 facing the push button 4. After the user sits on the cushion 1, the pressing button 4 is subjected to pressure and comes into contact with and is squeezed by the chair or other device below for people to sit on. The pressing button 4 slides and retracts into the timer 2. The conductor block 41 simultaneously contacts the two conductive pieces 31 and establishes a conductive connection between the two conductive pieces 31, causing the timing module in the circuit board 3 to start timing. After the preset time is reached, the prompting module of the circuit board 3 issues a prompt. This prompting module can be a buzzer. The cushion 1 has an opening 8 in the area above the buzzer, allowing the prompting sound of the prompting module to pass through the cushion 1 and become louder and clearer. After the user leaves the pad 1, the pressure on the pressing button 4 decreases and it reverts to its extended state. When the pressing button 4 is in the extended state, one end of the pressing button 4 extends beyond the bottom end face of the timer 2, and the conductor block 41 at the other end separates from the two conductive pieces 31. At this time, the timing module of the circuit board 3 is interrupted and stops timing until the two conductive pieces 31 are electrically connected again and timing resumes.

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cushion 1 includes a leg support 11 for supporting the legs and a hip support 12 for fitting and supporting the buttocks. The timer 2 is located at the bottom of the middle area of ​​the leg support 11. When the user sits on the cushion 1, their legs press on the leg support 11. Regardless of whether the user's sitting posture is tilted to the left or right, the middle area of ​​the leg support 11 can be squeezed, which pushes the pressing button 4 of the timer 2.

[0022] Both the leg support 11 and the hip support 12 have a hollow area 13 in the middle. The timer 2 is located between the two hollow areas 13. The hollow area 13 has a U-shaped opening structure and its opening direction is away from the timer 2. The hollow in this position can reduce the accumulation of blood and metabolic products in the buttocks.

[0023] The buttock support 12 has several protrusions 5 and several ventilation holes 6 evenly distributed on the end face used to support the buttocks. The protrusions 5 can be used to contact and support the user's buttocks, leaving a gap between the buttocks and the cushion 1 to facilitate air circulation. The ventilation holes 6 can be set between the protrusions 5, so that the gaps between them can circulate at the bottom of the cushion 1, improving air flow and keeping the cushion relatively clean and dry.

[0024] The edges and corners of the pad 1 are all rounded. The bottom end face of the pad 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 7, which can be set at the edge of the pad 1, the area where the bottom end face of the leg support 11 is bent to fit the leg, and the two sides of the connecting hollow area 13. Arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 7 can be set on both sides of the two hollow areas 13 to strengthen the connection strength between the left and right sides of the leg support 11 and the hip support 12 due to their U-shaped openings. The timer 2 can be set between the two arc-shaped reinforcing ribs 7.

[0025] Specifically, a timer 2 is integrated at the bottom of the seat cushion. When the timer 2 is retracted by pressing the button 4, the conductor block 41 is simultaneously connected to the two conductors 31 to achieve mechanical triggering to start the timer. Combined with the timer and buzzer reminder module of the circuit board 3, a reminder is actively issued after the user has sat for a set time, effectively solving the problem of forgetting due to prolonged sitting caused by focusing on work.
