## Abstract

An electronic device including a casing, a sound cabinet structure and a magnetic element is provided. The casing has an accommodating recess located inside the casing. The sound cabinet structure is located inside the casing and adjacent to the accommodating recess. The sound cabinet structure includes a resonance cavity and a sound output opening. The resonance cavity is communicated with the accommodating recess. The sound output opening penetrates through the casing and is communicated with the resonance cavity. The magnetic element is disposed inside the accommodating recess and adaptable to move in the accommodating recess, so that the casing is adaptable to be connected with an object or remove from the object. A hitting sound generated by the magnetic element while moving in and contacting the accommodating recess passes through and is effected by the sound cabinet structure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device, comprising:
a casing, having an accommodating recess located in the casing;
a sound cabinet structure, located in the casing and adjacent to the accommodating recess, the sound cabinet structure comprising a resonance cavity and a sound output opening, the resonance cavity communicated with the accommodating recess, the sound output opening penetrating through the casing and communicated with the resonance cavity; and
a magnetic element, disposed in the accommodating recess and adaptable to move in the accommodating recess, such that the casing is adaptable to be connected to an object or removed from the object, and
a hitting sound generated by the magnetic element moving in and contacting the accommodating recess passes through and is effected by the sound cabinet structure.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the accommodating recess and the sound cabinet structure are adjacent to a lateral side of the casing, such that the casing is adaptable to be connected to the object by the lateral side.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic device according to claim 2, further comprising:
a magnetized element, disposed in a side of the accommodating recess away from the lateral side, wherein a height of the accommodating recess in a moving axis is greater than a width of the magnetic element in the moving axis, the magnetic element is adaptable to be attached to the magnetized element to contact the side of the accommodating recess away from the lateral side, and adaptable to move along the moving axis to contact another side of the accommodating recess adjacent to the lateral side when the casing is close to the object, such that the casing is connected to the object, and the magnetic element generates the hitting sound when contacting the accommodating recess.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electronic device according to claim 3, further comprising:
two buffering elements, disposed in two opposite sides of the magnetic element and adaptable to correspondingly contact the magnetized element or the side of the accommodating recess adjacent to the lateral side when the magnetic element moves in the accommodating recess.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the sound cabinet structure further comprises an extending section extending from the sound output opening toward the resonance cavity.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the sound cabinet structure further comprises a channel, the accommodating recess is communicated with the resonance cavity via the channel, wherein a cross-section area of the channel is less than a cross-section area of the resonance cavity, and the cross-section area of the channel is less than a cross-section area of the accommodating recess.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein a cross-section area of the accommodating recess is greater than a cross-section area of the resonance cavity, and the cross-section area of the resonance cavity is greater than a cross-section area of the sound output opening.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein a volume of the accommodating recess is greater than a volume of the resonance cavity, and the volume of the resonance cavity is greater than a volume of the sound output opening.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein a frequency of the hitting sound generated by the magnetic element and passing through the sound cabinet structure is in a proportional relation to a volume of the resonance cavity, a cross-section area of the sound output opening, and a length of the sound output opening.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the frequency of the hitting sound is in a direct ratio to the cross-section of the sound output opening, and is in an inverse ratio to the volume of the resonance cavity and the length of the sound output opening.
