Bottle lock

A bottle lock for a bottle, the bottle lock comprising:

• a first and a second housing part which are designed to non-releasably enclose an upper portion of a bottle neck of the bottle to be secured, in a secured state,
• wherein the first and the second housing part are connected to one another such that they can move relative to one another and can be transferred between the secured state and a released state in which the bottle lock can be released from the bottle neck;
• and
• a locking mechanism which is assigned to one of the first and the second housing part and is set up to lock the first and the second housing part in the secured state,
• wherein the locking mechanism comprises:
• an actuating element which can be displaced between a released position and a secured position;
• a blocking element which is operatively connected to the actuating element and which, in the secured position of the actuating element, engages with the other of the first and the second housing part in order to fix the two housing parts in their relative orientation;
• and
• a release element which is assigned to the actuating element and is set up to block a movement of the actuating element from the secured position into the released position in the locked state of the locking mechanism, and to allow a movement of the actuating element from the secured position into the released position in an unlocked state of the locking mechanism,
• wherein the release element can be substantially displaced orthogonally to a direction of movement of the actuating element in order to selectively block or release the movement of the actuating element,
• wherein the blocking element is arranged substantially transversely to the actuating element, and
• wherein the locking mechanism further comprises an actuator which is operatively coupled to the release element, wherein the actuator is at least partially formed by a shape memory alloy.
