The granted patent US12041971B2 describes an innovative electronic cigarette design that incorporates a unique magnetic valve mechanism. The electronic cigarette features a main body with an accommodating slot and a magnetic valve that protrudes from the bottom surface of this slot. A cigarette cartridge, equipped with a magnetic body on its joint surface, is designed to fit into the accommodating slot. The magnetic body attracts the magnetic valve, allowing it to move and create a connection, while simultaneously forming an interval between the cartridge and the main body. Additional claims detail the geometric shape of the magnetic valve, the configuration of the accommodating slot, and the integration of conductive terminals and electrodes for electrical connectivity.

Further enhancements to the electronic cigarette include a motor that drives the magnetic valve's movement, a positioning mechanism that ensures proper alignment between the cartridge and the main body, and a locking system that secures the cartridge in place. The design also specifies the formation of a valve port when the magnetic valve connects with the magnetic body, detailing the structural components that create this port. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated electronic cigarette that leverages magnetic technology for improved functionality and user experience.
