Meanwhile, due to the heat generated by the operation of the controller 230, the heat generated by the operation of the projector 210, and the heat generated by the operation of the infrared camera 220, The temperature of the space in the chamber 100 gradually increases.

At this time, air outside the main body case 100 flows through the inlet 106 through the blowing fan 110 and then passes through the inside of the heat discharging tube 200 connected to the inlet 106, And then flows out to the outside of the main body case 100 through the main body 108.

As a result, the heat in the space in the body case 100 is heat-exchanged with the heat-dissipating tube 200, and the space inside the body case 100 is prevented from being overheated.

Particularly, although dust and foreign substances are contained in the air outside the main body case 100, these dusts and foreign substances simply pass through the inside of the heat dissipating tube 200 and do not flow into the spaces where the devices 210, 220, It is possible to prevent damage or contamination of each of the devices 210, 220 and 230 in the main body case 100 due to the dust or foreign matter, thereby preventing problems such as malfunction or failure.

In the meantime, the unmanned information terminal apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention does not package or carry the entirety of the portable information terminal apparatus in its assembled state, but removes the extension unit 300 from the main body case 100, Is separated from the extension part 300, thereby reducing the overall packaging volume as well as reducing the package height. As a result, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of damages such as bumps due to difficulty in transportation.

As described above, the unmanned information terminal device of the present invention is provided with the main body case 100, the extension part 300, the screen mounting part 310, and the screen 400, And is advantageous in packaging and transportation in that it can reduce the volume of the entire device.

In particular, the unmanned information terminal device of the present invention is provided with a heat radiation pipe 200 for providing an air flow space partitioned from each of the devices 210, 220, and 230 in the body case 100 so as to achieve heat dissipation in the body case 100 Moreover, it is possible to prevent the devices 210, 220 and 230 from being damaged or malfunctioning due to dust or foreign substances in the air flowing from the outside.
