We need to fix the quotes around your identifier.

setTimeout(function() {
    $('._my_save_button').trigger('click');
}, 3000);

I think you are only missing the right css selector.

should be "#_my_save_button" in case of id="_my_save_button" or "._my_save_button" in case of class="_my_save_button":

setTimeout(function(){$("#_my_save_button").trigger("click")},180000);
