Design of an electronic device housing

V diplomskem delu je prikazan razvoj ohišja elektronske naprave, ki smo jo razvili v podjetju Emsiso d.o.o., imenovana TCU in spada v skupino GPS sledilnikov. Njene ključne komponente so GPS sprejemnik, GSM modul, baterija, integrirane antene, tiskano vezje in priključni konektor. Ker gre za velikoserijski izdelek, bo zanj sprava skonstruirano namensko plastično ohišje za izdelavo prototipov s 3D tiskanjem, ki ga bo kasneje zamenjal model za plastično brizganje. Na začetku diplomskega dela so predstavljene ključne funkcionalne elektronske komponente naprave in postopki za izdelavo ohišja. V nadaljevanju je predstavljen razvoj ohišja z delnimi funkcijami in določitvijo najoptimalnejšega modela s stališča tehnoloških omejitev in ekonomskega vidika za določeno vrsto izdelave.This thesis describes the development and design of an electronic device housing, developed by Emsiso d.o.o., called TCU, which belongs in group of GPS tracers. Its key components include a GPS receiver, a GSM module, a battery, an integrated antenna, a printed circuit board, and a connector. Because it is a large-scale product, there will be housing made purpoesly for 3D printing, which will later be replaced by a plastic injection molding machine. At the beginning of the thesis the key functional electronic components of the device and processes for the production of the housing are presented. In the continuation, the development of the housing with partial functions and the determination of the most optimal model from the point of view of technological constraints and economic aspect for a particular type of production are presented
