[0002] In the field of implantable medical devices, long-term reliability verification of precision electronic components such as neurostimulators is crucial. Circuit board aging testing, as a core step in simulating long-term operating conditions, directly impacts the safety and effectiveness of the final product.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this application provides a stimulator implant circuit board aging test fixture, including a stimulator implant circuit board 1, a clamping assembly 2, a test adapter plate 3, and a base plate 4. The stimulator implant circuit board 1 has test holes. The clamping assembly 2 includes a clamping mechanism 21, a probe group 22, and a power supply device 23. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the stimulator implant circuit board 1, fixing the circuit board with mechanical clamping force to eliminate the risk of displacement during the test. The clamping arm opening and closing design is compatible with circuit boards of different thicknesses, ensuring quick assembly and disassembly. The probe group 22 is fixedly mounted on the clamping mechanism 21 and matches the test holes, geometrically matching the circuit board holes to achieve lossless signal transmission. The power supply device 23 is fixedly mounted above the clamping mechanism 21 to supply power to the stimulator implant circuit board 1, simulating the normal working state of the implant, replacing the bulky external power supply device, and reducing the complexity of the fixture. The test adapter plate 3 includes a probe interface part 31, a test circuit part 32, and a power supply docking part 33. The probe interface part 31 is welded to the probe group 22 to form an electrical connection, and the probe signal is introduced into the adapter plate through welding. The test circuit section 32 is electrically connected to the test port via the probe interface section 31, meeting the requirements for monitoring four waveforms. The power supply docking section 33 is electrically connected to both the test port and the power supply device 23. The base plate 4 includes at least two mounting positions 41 and a power supply interface group 42. Each mounting position 41 matches the clamp assembly 2, enabling the one-time aging of multiple circuit boards.

[0027] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism 21 includes a fixed clamping arm 211, a movable clamping arm 212, and a probe mounting plate 213.

The probe mounting plate 213 is located at one end of the movable clamping arm 212 and close to the test hole. The probe assembly 22 penetrates the probe mounting plate 213 vertically, ensuring coaxial alignment with the circuit board hole. The configuration of the probe mounting plate 213 provides a precise positioning reference for the probe assembly 22.
[0028] Preferably, the probe group 22 includes eight cylindrical conductive probes, and the test holes are eight metallized through-holes. The arrangement of all test holes is mirror-symmetrical to the arrangement of the probe group 22, and the diameter of the through-holes and the diameter of the probes form a clearance fit. This design ensures that the eight PIN signals of the implant circuit board can be reliably extracted by establishing an electrical signal transmission channel.
[0029] Preferably, the power supply device 23 is a transmission coil circuit board, which is fixedly mounted on the movable clamping arm 212. The transmission coil circuit board directly replaces the traditional external power supply, avoiding the use of a bulky and costly external power supply.
[0030] Preferably, the probe interface 31 is provided with eight circular welding points, which are welded one-to-one with the ends of the eight probes of the probe group 22 to form an electrical connection.
[0031] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the test circuit section 32 includes a resistor 321 and a test probe 322, both of which are electrically connected to the stimulator implant circuit board 1 via the probe group 22. The resistor 321 is used for signal conditioning and is connected in series in the signal path; the test probe 322 serves as an external monitoring interface, facilitating connection to devices such as oscilloscopes to achieve real-time waveform and impedance acquisition. These components are directly mounted on the surface of the test adapter board 3, with a compact layout to optimize space utilization, enabling waveform monitoring and impedance testing functions.

The solder joints are directly connected to the two PINs of the wireless power supply of the test port.
[0033] Preferably, such as Figure 3As shown, the mounting position 41 is a groove structure. To ensure the stability of the testing fixture and to maximize the use of the rectangular base plate area, the outer contour of the fixed clamping arm 211 in this embodiment is designed as a rectangle, and correspondingly, the mounting position 41 is a rectangular groove structure. The size of each mounting position 41 matches the outer contour of the fixed clamping arm 211. The fixed clamping arm 211 is provided with bolt through holes, and the bottom of each mounting position 41 is provided with threaded holes corresponding to the bolt through holes. The mounting position 41 serves as a modular load-bearing unit, providing precise positioning and vibration-proof support for the fixture assembly 2.
[0034] Preferably, there are fifteen mounting positions 41 arranged in a 5×3 rectangular array on the surface of the base plate 4.
[0035] Preferably, the power supply interface group 42 includes fifteen independent power supply interfaces 421 and one main power supply interface 422. The fifteen independent power supply interfaces 421 and the main power supply interface 422 are electrically connected. Each independent power supply interface 421 is located on the side of the corresponding mounting position 41, and each independent power supply interface 421 is connected to the power input terminal of the power supply device 23 via a wire. This design optimizes the space utilization of the base plate 4 and minimizes signal interference paths.

[0037] This testing method uses a clamp assembly 2 to hold the stimulator implant circuit board 1, allowing the probe group 22 to match the test holes and form an electrical connection. Simultaneously, the power supply device 23 is fixed above the movable clamping arm 212 to simulate wireless power supply. The probe interface section 31 of the test adapter board 3 is welded with the probe group 22 to capture signals from the stimulator implant circuit board 1. The test circuit section 32 processes and monitors parameters through resistors 321 and test probes 322. The power supply docking section 33 connects the power supply device 23 and the wireless power supply PIN to form an energy closed loop. The base plate 4 uses 15 mounting positions 41 to support multiple clamp assemblies 2 and test adapter boards 3. The power supply interface group 42 supplies power to each power supply device 23 through independent interfaces. The overall interface integrated circuit enables parallel aging of multiple boards. During the process, four waveforms and impedance data can be acquired in real time through the test probes 322 without disassembly, ultimately achieving high-throughput, zero-damage accelerated aging verification.
