Description of the Related Art In an electronic control device of this kind, a plurality of cases are set (prepared) in a case assembling up and down in a case assembling process in a factory. Then, the stacked cases are sucked sequentially from the top by a robot or the like,
It is supplied to the case assembly process of the assembly line. The number of cases to be stacked is determined by the movable dimensions of the robot that sucks the cases. For example, about 10 cases are stacked vertically. However, in order to improve work efficiency and reduce costs, it is required to stack a large number of cases and reduce the number of setups in the case assembling process.

It is desired that they can be easily separated one by one, and a conventional structure for that purpose is shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, a relatively tall nut member 52 is driven into a corner of the case 51, and the nut member 52 can be used for stacking. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the cases 51 are stacked up and down, the upper case is placed on the nut member 52 of the lower case. In this case, since the upper case is merely placed on the nut member 52 of the lower case, it can be easily separated.

There is a case where a desired product shape cannot be obtained due to being assembled obliquely with respect to the above. For this reason, conventionally, positioning is performed by penetrating the pins into the circuit board and the case using a jig with the pins erected, or by inserting the pins into a part of the case, or by integrally molding pin-shaped projections. I was doing. However, these alignment methods cause disadvantages in terms of cost and workability. Therefore, the present embodiment proposes a case structure that can solve these inconveniences.
