DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an electronic device with a movable sound source of the present invention includes an electronic device 1, movable frame 2 and sound source 3.

The electronic device 1 provides an audio signal. The electronic device 1 may be a TV, notebook computer, all-in-one computer, tablet computer, desktop computer or smartphone. Taking TV as an example, the audio cable or other type of audio transmission cable is connected to the audio output jack of the TV to obtain the audio signal of the TV.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the movable frame 2 is movably configured on the electronic device 1. In a preferred embodiment, the movable frame 2 is a hollow frame formed by connecting a plurality of plates in sequence, where a space is formed inside the hollow frame; the electronic device 1 is configured in the space. The electronic device 1 may be provided with a slide rail 11, and the movable frame 2 may be provided with a slide block 21, the slide block 21 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 11, so that the movable frame 2 is movably arranged on the electronic device 1, but the present invention is not so limited. The movable frame 2 may be provided with an elastic element 22 and stopper 23, where the elastic element 22 is adapted to press the stopper 23 out of the movable frame 2, allowing the stopper 23 to press against the electronic device 1, preventing the movable frame from dropping down. The elastic element 22 may be a spring, and the stopper 23 a convex block.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the sound source 3 is configured on the movable frame 2, and in electric connection with the electronic device 1. The sound source 3 is provided with an adjustment circuit 31 (as shown in FIG. 6); when the movable frame 2 is moved on the electronic device 1, the sound source 3 can play the audio signal, and audio signal played by the sound source 3 is adjusted through the adjustment circuit 31. The sound source 3 may be a speaker or any other sound source device having a loudspeaker function. For example, the electronic device is a TV and the sound source 3 is a speaker, and the both ends of the sound source line (or other types of audio transmission lines) are connected to the sound source output hole (terminal) of the TV and the sound source input hole (terminal) of the speaker. Thus, the speaker can then receive the audio signal of the TV and play it.

The movable frame 2 may be provided with a trigger 4; when the movable frame 2 is moved on the electronic device 1, the trigger 4 is in contact with the electronic device 1, allowing the trigger 4 to generate a trigger signal to the sound source 3, and the trigger signal is used to instruct the sound source 3 to adjust the audio signal played by it through the adjustment circuit 31.

The movable frame 2 (or the sound source 3) may be provided with a knob (or button) to use as the trigger 4; when the movable frame 2 is moved on the electronic device 1, the trigger 4 is in contact with the electronic device 1, allowing the trigger 4 to generate a trigger signal to the sound source 3. For example, the trigger 4 is the knob; when the movable frame 2 is moved on the electronic device 1, the knob is in contact with the electronic device 1, allowing the knob to generate a trigger signal to the sound source because the knob forms friction with the electronic device 1 and rotates, and the audio signal played by the sound source 3 is adjusted through the adjustment circuit 31 after the sound source 3 receives the trigger signal.

Referring to FIG. 6, the adjustment circuit 31 can be used to adjust the sound volume or pitch of the audio signal. For example, the adjustment circuit 31 is a bleeder chain, where the bleeder chain is used to attenuate the audio signal, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the volume.

Referring to FIG. 5 again, for example, the trigger 4 is a knob; when the movable frame 2 is moved upward, the knob forms friction with the electronic device and rotate in a first direction, allowing the knob to generate a first trigger signal to the sound source 3, and the audio signal played by the sound source 3 is adjusted through the adjustment circuit 31 according to the instruction of the first trigger signal after the sound source 3 receives the first trigger signal, causing the sound volume to become larger (or the pitch to become higher).

On the contrary, when the movable frame 2 is moved downward, the knob forms friction with the electronic device 1 and rotates in a second direction, allowing the knob to generate a second trigger signal to the sound source 3, and the audio signal played by the sound source 3 is adjusted through the instruction of the second trigger signal, causing the sound volume to become smaller (or the pitch to become smaller).

Whereby, users can adjust the position of the sound source 3 and also can adjust the audio signal played by the sound source 3 according to individual hearing differences or according to personal preferences, so as to achieve the best hearing experience. The difference between the present invention and the prior arts is that the position of the sound source 3 can be adjusted. Since there is a time difference between sounds at different positions reaching the human ear, the users can obtain different hearing experiences by changing the position and volume (or pitch) of the sound source 3.
