Provided is a locking unit for a housing, comprising at least two doors for locking each housing opening. The locking unit has a locking element module for each of the doors, and the module has at least one locking body and a locking drive for actuating the locking body. The locking drive has a common drive element for the locking element modules, which drive element can be moved about a displacement path, and which, in a first displacement position, brings the locking body, for only one of the doors or only a first group of doors, of the doors into an unlocking position, and in a second displacement position, brings the locking body for all doors into an unlocking position. The invention also relates to a housing comprising a locking unit of this type, and to a method for unlocking one or more doors of a housing of this type.
A locking unit for a housing, in particular for a receptacle for objects, having at least two doors for locking respective housing openings, in particular leading to storage compartments, wherein the locking unit has, for each of the doors, in each case a locking element module with at least one locking body and a locking drive for actuating the locking body, characterized in that the locking drive for the locking element modules has a common drive element which is movable by an adjustment distance, and in a first adjustment position moves the locking body or bodies for merely one of the doors or merely a first group of two groups of doors of the doors into an unlocking position, and in a second adjustment position moves the locking bodies for all of the doors into an unlocking position, wherein the common drive element is embodied as a rotatable axle which has first and second rod parts which can be releasably secured to one another in such a way that first and second rods parts rotate together.
