Systems and methods for an evacuator adapter

Abstract

An adapter for an evacuator for increasing a suction power of the evacuator includes a suction assembly adapted to be coupled with the evacuator. The suction assembly has a housing, an impeller arranged inside the housing and configured to provide a suction, and an inlet conduit to facilitate a flow of fluid to the impeller. The suction assembly also includes an outlet conduit arranged inside the housing and adapted to be coupled to the evacuator. The outlet conduit is in fluid communication with the impeller and facilitates a flow of the fluid from the suction assembly to the evacuator.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An adapter for an evacuator comprising:
 a suction assembly adapted to be coupled with the evacuator, wherein the suction assembly comprises:
 an impeller assembly comprising an impeller and a motor driving the impeller, wherein the impeller assembly is configured to provide a suction; 
 an inlet conduit to facilitate a flow of fluid to the impeller; and 
 an outlet conduit arranged inside the housing and adapted to be coupled to the evacuator, wherein the outlet conduit is configured to be in fluid communication with the impeller and is configured to facilitate the flow of the fluid from the suction assembly to the evacuator, and wherein a first end of the outlet conduit is attached to the impeller assembly and a second end of the outlet conduit is configured to receive a connection of the evacuator, wherein an opening of the first end of the outlet conduit is larger than an opening of the second end of the outlet conduit; 
   wherein the adapter is configured to restrict airflow to a predetermined threshold based on configuration of each of the outlet conduit and the impeller assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The adapter of  claim 1 , wherein the suction assembly further comprises a housing. 
     
     
         3 . The adapter of  claim 2 , wherein the impeller assembly is disposed external to the housing. 
     
     
         4 . The adapter of  claim 2 , wherein one or more components of the impeller assembly extends inside the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The adapter of  claim 2 , wherein the impeller assembly is arranged inside the housing. 
     
     
         6 . The adapter of  claim 2 , wherein the housing comprises a hand-gun shape having a barrel portion and a handle. 
     
     
         7 . The adapter of  claim 6 , wherein the inlet conduit is arranged inside the barrel portion and the outlet conduit extends inside the handle. 
     
     
         8 . The adapter of  claim 6 , wherein the outlet conduit tapers inwardly from the impeller in a direction away from the impeller along a length of the handle. 
     
     
         9 . The adapter of  claim 6 , wherein the handle extends downwardly from the barrel portion and is arranged at an angle greater than or equal to 90 degrees relative to the barrel portion. 
     
     
         10 . The adapter of  claim 1 , wherein the impeller assembly comprises an impeller housing. 
     
     
         11 . The adapter of  claim 1 , further comprising a suction connector adapted to engage with the inlet conduit to facilitate a capture of aerosols coming outside a mouth of a patient, wherein the suction connector includes:
 a conduit portion adapted to engage with the inlet conduit, and   a collector portion to collect the aerosols and extending outwardly and away from the conduit portion.   
     
     
         12 . The adapter of  claim 11 , wherein the collector portion comprises:
 a funnel portion engaged with the conduit portion; and   a cover portion adapted to removably engage with the funnel portion and defining a cavity therebetween, wherein the cover portion defines a plurality of openings to capture the aerosols and spatters coming outside the mouth of the patient.   
     
     
         13 . The adapter of  claim 12 , wherein the cover portion comprises a plurality of guide conduits extending inside the cavity and along a rear surface of the cover portion. 
     
     
         14 . The adapter of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of guide conduits is in fluid communication with the plurality of openings to enable the flow of the fluid entering the plurality of openings to the conduit portion. 
     
     
         15 . The adapter of  claim 13 , wherein the cover portion comprises a concave shape having a front concave surface. 
     
     
         16 . The adapter of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of openings is defined at the front concave surface. 
     
     
         17 . The adapter of  claim 11 , wherein the collector portion comprises a shape of a substantially circular shower pad. 
     
     
         18 . The adapter of  claim 1 , wherein the suction assembly further comprises a trigger switch to control a suction power of the adapter. 
     
     
         19 . The adapter of  claim 18 , wherein the trigger switch controls a rotational speed of the impeller to control the suction power of the adapter. 
     
     
         20 . The adapter of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined threshold of airflow is 4.5 Standard Cubic Feet per Minute (SCFM) and greater.
