That is, by setting the damage determination level information using the keyboard provided on the operation unit 113, the control unit 210 causes the first and second inspection units 115 to perform the damage determination level information based on the set damage determination level information. , 204, respectively, to set respective fitness determination levels. In this case, the first and second
The inspection units 115 and 204 can be set separately.

When the cash cassette 3 is mounted, the control unit 210 reads out the damage determination level information from the data memory 100 of the cash cassette 3, and based on the read damage determination level information, the first and second Inspection section 115,204
The respective damage determination levels of are set. Again,
The first and second inspection units 115 and 204 can be set separately.

Then, the operation unit 113 is provided with a priority whether to use the damage determination level information set by the operation unit 113 or to use the damage determination level information read from the data memory 100 of the cash cassette 3. It can be specified with the priority specification key. Note that, normally, when the cash cassette 3 is mounted, the damage determination level information read from the data memory 100 of the cash cassette 3 is prioritized.

When the fitness judgment level information set by the operation unit 113 is in the priority state, a specific key operation is performed by the operation unit 113, whereby the control unit 210 is operated.
Can transmit the damage determination level information to the control unit 99 of the cash cassette 3 and store it in the data memory 100.

Further, when the cash cassette 3 is removed, the control unit 210 detects it and reads the damage determination levels of the first and second inspection units 115 and 204 from the cash cassette 3 until then. The value set based on the fitness determination level information is changed to the value based on the fitness determination level information set by the operation unit 113. The first and second inspection units 115, 20
The denomination discrimination level of No. 4 may be set in the same manner as the above-mentioned fitness discrimination level.

The data memory 211 is, for example,
It is configured by a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM or a RAM backed up by a battery (not shown).

Further, the stacking and conveying control section 214 includes the take-out mechanism 114, the conveying path 116, the conveying path 118, the denomination sorting section 119, the denomination stackers 201a to 201e, the taking-out mechanisms 202a to 202e, the conveying path 203 and the conveying path. 205,
The gate 206, the transport path 207, and the like are controlled. Next, the operation in such a configuration will be described.

First, the operation of loading banknotes into the cash cassette 3 by the cash processing machine 2 will be described. It is assumed that the data memory 100 of the cash cassette 3 stores the damage determination level information in advance. The storage of the damage determination level information in the data memory 100 is performed using, for example, the keyboard 84 and the display unit 85 of the cash cassette 3 as described above. In addition, it is assumed that a predetermined amount of banknotes are stored in each of the denomination stackers 201a to 201e according to the denomination.

Now, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the cash cassette 3 is set in the cash processing machine 2 for cashier, and the banknote P for loading the cash cassette 3 is inserted into the deposit port 112. At this time, the control unit 210 of the cash processing machine 2 for cash accounting and the control unit 99 of the cash cassette 3 are the interface 101,
It is connected via 212, and is connected by the control unit 210 returning a connection permission signal in response to the connection request signal from the control unit 99. As a result, the control unit 99 reads the damage determination level information from the data memory 100 and transmits it to the control unit 210. The control unit 210 has a control unit 99.
The respective fitness judgment levels of the first and second inspection units 115 and 204 are set on the basis of the fitness judgment level information sent from.

Further, the number of bills to be loaded into the cash cassette 3 is designated by using the keyboard of the operation unit 113. After that, by pressing the processing start key in the operation unit 113, the bill P inserted into the deposit port 112 is
The take-out mechanism 114 sequentially takes out the sheets one by one,
Is sent to the inspection unit 115. In the first inspection unit 115,
The denomination of the bill to be sent is discriminated and the bill is discriminated based on the discrimination level set as described above. The discrimination result is sent to the control unit 210.

The banknotes that are determined to be genuine by the first inspection unit 115 are the conveyance paths 116 and 118 and the denomination classification unit 11.
It is sent to the cash cassette 3 via 9 and loaded therein. At this time, the control unit 210 counts the number of bills stored in the cash cassette 3 for each denomination according to the denomination determination result of the first inspection unit 115. Note that banknotes that are determined to be unfit banknotes and banknotes other than the designated denomination are sent to the deposit reject pocket 117 via the transport path 116 and are accumulated therein.

Then, the counted number of stored coins of each denomination is
When the number of denominations designated in advance by the operation unit 113 is reached, the control unit 210 stops the bill loading process in the cash cassette 3.

When the bills are loaded into the cash cassette 3 in this manner, the control unit 210 of the cash processing machine 2 for cashier payment
The counted number of stored coins of each denomination is stored in the data memory 211 and transmitted to the control unit 99 of the cash cassette 3 via the interfaces 212 and 101. As a result, the control unit 99 causes the data memory 100 to store the denomination and the number of stored bills stored in the cash cassette 3.

In this case, each time a bill passes through the first inspection unit 115 and is stored in the cash cassette 3 in real time, not after the bill has been loaded, the control unit 210 controls the stored number data for each denomination. It may be transmitted to the unit 99 and stored in the data memory 100.

When the fitness judgment level information set by the operation unit 113 is in the priority state, a specific key operation is performed by the operation unit 113, so that the fitness judgment level information is transferred to the data memory 100 of the cash cassette 3. Can be stored in That is, after mounting the cash cassette 3 on the apparatus, the priority is designated by the operation unit 113.
By setting the damage determination level information set by the operation unit 113 to the priority state and further performing a specific key operation by the operation unit 113, the control unit 210 causes the control unit 210 of the cash cassette 3 to display the damage determination level information. It transmits to 99. The control unit 99 stores the fitness determination level information sent from the control unit 210 in the data memory 100.

When the cash cassette 3 is removed from the apparatus, the control unit 210 detects it and then
The respective damage determination levels of the second inspection units 115 and 204, which have been set to values based on the damage determination level information read from the cash cassette 3 until then, are determined to be the damage determination levels set by the operation unit 113. Change the setting to a value based on the level information.

Further, the stackers 201a to 201e for each denomination
Only the banknotes stored in advance in the cash cassette 3
Can also be loaded. In this case, after the cash cassette 3 is set in the cash processing machine 2 for cash payment in the same manner as described above, the operation unit 113 is used to specify the number of bills to be loaded and the processing start key is pressed. Then, the control unit 210 controls the take-out mechanisms 202a to 202e to take out the banknotes in the denomination-type stackers 201a to 201e one by one, and the conveyance path 203, the second inspection section 204, and the conveyance path 20.
Only the genuine bill is loaded into the cash cassette 3 through the 5, gate 206, and denomination classification section 119. At this time, the control unit 2
10 counts the number of banknotes stored in the cash cassette 3 for each denomination according to the denomination discrimination result of the second inspection unit 204.

Then, the counted number of stored coins of each denomination is
When the number of denominations designated in advance by the operation unit 113 is reached, the control unit 210 stops the operation of the take-out mechanisms 202a to 202e to stop the bill loading process in the cash cassette 3, and the same as described above. The loading contents are stored in the data memory 100.

Next, using the cash cassette 3, for example,
The operation of replenishing bills to the automatic teller machine 1a will be described. That is, as described above, the cash cassette 3 loaded with a predetermined number of banknotes by the cash processing machine 2 for telling money is set at a predetermined position in the automatic teller machine 1a. At this time, the main control unit 31 of the automatic teller machine 1a and the control unit 99 of the cash cassette 3 are connected via the interfaces 44 and 101, and the main control unit 31 is connected to the connection request signal from the control unit 99. Connection is made by returning a permission signal. As a result, the control unit 99 reads the data such as the denomination and the number of bills stored in the cash cassette 3 stored in the data memory 100, and transmits the data to the main control unit 31.

Then, the main control unit 31 reads the number of bills of the corresponding denomination stored from the RAM 39 and compares it with the appropriate cash balance. If the result of this comparison is a lack of cash balance,
It judges the replenishment of the shortage amount and transmits a replenishment instruction for the shortage amount to the control unit 99. As a result, the banknotes corresponding to the shortage amount are sent out from the cash cassette 3 and are replenished to each cashbox in the automatic teller machine 1a.

When the shortage amount is replenished by this replenishment process, the main control unit 31 transmits a loading end signal to the control unit 99, and at the same time, displays the machine number, the cash balance of each safe, and the number of stored coins of each denomination. To transmit. As a result, the control unit 99
The money type and the number of money stored in the cash cassette 3 stored in the data memory 100 are updated according to the replenishment content,
In addition, the machine number, the cash balance of each safe, and the number of stored coins of each cash type are stored in the data memory 100. This completes the bill replenishment process.

According to the cash processing machine for cash payment as described above, the data memory 100 of the cash cassette 3 is previously stored.
