Abstract

The invention relates to a mechatronic lock comprising a linearly movable bolt which can be moved from a retracted position into an advanced position in order to lock the lock. Said lock further comprises an actuating element for manually actuating the bolt, a blocking element which can laterally engage into a profiled section of the bolt in order to block the linear movement of the bolt in the advanced position of the bolt, and an electric drive for moving a movable intermediate element. The blocking element can be actuated by the movable intermediate element via a first spring means, especially a coil spring, in such a way that the spring means can be biased by actuating the drive when the bolt is in the retracted position. The blocking element thus snaps into the advanced position thereof in the profiled section of the bolt when the bolt is advanced, and the bolt is prevented from being retracted. Also described is an arrangement comprising at least two furniture compartments that are each fitted with a mechatronic lock. Said arrangement further comprises at least two individually encodable transponders for opening the locks, a central control device, and a network via which data can be transmitted between the central control device and the locks.
