Description

[0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle with at least one wing element according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

[0002] WO 2007 / 118552 A1 discloses a motor vehicle with a vehicle door having a lower door part and an upper window part separated by a window sill. WO 2020 / 01137 A1 discloses a device for actuating a vehicle door of a vehicle, comprising a sensor device configured to detect a force acting on the vehicle door and generate corresponding sensor data. Furthermore, DE 10 2017 202 114 A1 discloses a motor vehicle with at least one side door having a door body. Furthermore, WO 2006 / 007916 A1 discloses a motor vehicle door with an inner module and an outer module.

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a motor vehicle with at least one wing element so that a particularly safe opening of the wing element can be ensured.

[0004] This object is achieved according to the invention by a motor vehicle having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0005] The invention relates to a motor vehicle, also referred to as a vehicle or motor vehicle and preferably designed as a passenger car, whose interior, also referred to as a passenger cell or passenger compartment, is formed by a body of the motor vehicle, for example designed as a self-supporting body. While the motor vehicle is traveling, persons such as the driver of the motor vehicle can stay in the interior. The body of the motor vehicle has at least one body opening. For example, the body opening itself, i.e. considered on its own, opens at one end into the interior and the other end into an area surrounding the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle also has at least one wing element assigned to the body opening, which is designed separately from the body and held on the body. The wing element is thus an add-on part designed separately from the body and held on the body.The wing element is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the body between a closed position and at least one open position and is held on the body. This means that the wing element can be moved, in particular pivoted, relative to the body between the closed position and the at least one open position while the wing element is held on the body, i.e. is connected to the body. In the closed position, at least a partial area of ​​the body opening is closed by the wing element. In particular, for example, in the closed position, the body opening is at least predominantly and thus at least more than half or completely closed by the wing element. In the open position, the wing element releases at least a partial area of ​​the body opening so that, for example, a person initially in the vicinity of the motor vehicle can enter the interior via the released partial area.Furthermore, for example, a person initially staying in the interior can exit the interior via the released partial area and thus reach or enter the surrounding area. In particular, the wing element can be a door, in particular a side door, for example, so that the body opening is then designed as a door opening, in particular as a side door opening. In particular, the body opening can thus be a side, rear, or front door opening, for example, or the body opening can be a front or rear storage space opening, for example, so that a front or rear storage space, in particular a trunk, of the motor vehicle, also simply referred to as a vehicle, can be accessed via the partial area of ​​the body opening released in the open position of the wing element.Furthermore, it is conceivable that the wing element is a flap, such as a tailgate or a hood. For example, the wing element could be a trunk lid, a trunk lid, or a hood.

[0006] The motor vehicle, in particular the wing element, has, for example, at least one actuator, wherein, for example, by means of the actuator, a lock by means of which the wing element is to be secured or is secured in the closed position relative to the body can be unlocked by operating the actuator. Alternatively or additionally, for example, by means of the actuator, the wing element can be moved from the closed position into the open position relative to the body. For example, if the wing element is designed as a door, in particular as a side door, of the motor vehicle, the lock is a door lock or the lock is also referred to as a door lock. In particular, the lock and / or the actuator can be part of the wing element.

[0007] It is conceivable for the wing element to have at least one operating element, by means of which the lock can be electrically unlocked by operating, in particular actuating, the operating element. In particular, the operating element can be a mechanical operating element such as a knob, a pushbutton or a key. For example, the operating element can be moved relative to a corresponding base element of the wing element between an initial position and an actuating position, in particular translationally and / or rotationally. By operating, in particular actuating, the operating element, the operating element is moved, for example, from the initial position relative to the base element into the actuating position, whereby the lock can be unlocked, in particular electrically. The lock can be adjusted between a locked state and an unlocked state.By unlocking the lock, the lock is moved from the locked state to the unlocked state, i.e., transferred. If, for example, the wing element is initially in the closed position and the lock is in the locked state at the same time, the wing element is secured in the closed position by the lock and thus against any unwanted movement into the open position relative to the body. In order to open the wing element, for example, i.e. to move it from the closed position to the open position, the operating element is operated, in particular actuated, in particular by a person who is, for example, in the vicinity of the motor vehicle.As a result, the lock is unlocked, in particular electrically, and thus transferred from the locked state to the unlocked state, so that the lock releases the wing element for a movement relative to the structure from the closed position to the open position.

[0008] In particular, it is conceivable for the wing element to have a handle element, particularly on the outside, more particularly on the outside of the door, which is also referred to, for example, as an outside handle or outside door handle. The handle element can be grasped, in particular grasped, with the hand of a person in the vicinity, for example, so that the person in the vicinity can exert a force, in particular a compressive or tensile force, on the handle element via the handle element and, via the handle element, on the wing element in order to handle the wing element, for example, and in doing so, for example, to open or close it. In this case, it is particularly conceivable for the operating element to be provided on the handle element, i.e. to be held on the handle element, wherein the operating element can, for example, be integrated into the handle element.Furthermore, it is conceivable for the operating element to be or comprise a touch-sensitive surface, wherein the operating element can be or is operated by a person touching the touch-sensitive surface, in particular directly, with at least one of their fingers. In this case, for example, the handle element has an outer skin, also referred to as the handle element outer skin, which can be perceived visually and haptically by the person in the vicinity, at least when the wing element is in the closed position, in particular when the motor vehicle having the wing element is in its fully assembled state. This means that the person in the vicinity can visually perceive the handle element outer skin, i.e. can perceive it, and the person can touch the handle element outer skin, in particular directly, and thus perceive it haptically.For example, at least part of the outer skin of the handle element is formed by the touch-sensitive surface.

[0009] For example, a locking element such as a locking bolt (also known as a lock bolt) or a striker (also known as a lock bracket) is attached to the body, in particular to a vehicle pillar of the body, which may be designed as a door pillar and is also referred to as a bodywork pillar. In the closed position of the wing element and in the locked state of the lock, the lock, in particular a forked latch of the lock, interacts with the locking element, in particular in a form-fitting manner, whereby the wing element is secured or secured in a form-fitting manner in the closed position. For example, the lock has a locking element, which may be the aforementioned forked latch.In the closed position of the wing element and in the locked state of the lock, for example, the lock element interacts with the locking element, in particular in a form-fitting manner, whereby the wing element is secured or can be secured in the closed position, in particular in a form-fitting manner. For example, the lock element can be moved relative to a base element of the lock and in particular relative to the locking element between a locking position and an unlocking position, in particular translationally and / or rotationally. In the closed position of the wing element and in the locking position of the lock element, the lock element interacts with the locking element, in particular in a form-fitting manner, whereby the wing element is secured or can be secured in the closed position.By or during the unlocking of the lock, for example, the lock element is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position, in which interaction between the lock element and the locking element ceases. This releases the wing element for movement relative to the structure from the closed position to the open position. The feature that the lock can be electrically unlocked by operating, in particular actuating, the operating element is to be understood in particular as meaning that, for example, an electrically operable lock actuator, in particular an electric motor, is electrically controlled as a result of operating the operating element.By controlling the lock actuator, the lock actuator is electrically operated, so that, for example, the lock element is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position by means of the lock actuator, in particular using electrical energy and thus electrically. In particular, the lock actuator can be the aforementioned actuator. This means that the lock element is moved electrically, for example, from the locked position to the unlocked position, whereby the lock is unlocked electrically, i.e., using the aforementioned electrical energy.A movement of the wing element from the closed position to the open position following the electrical unlocking of the door lock can, for example, be effected manually by the aforementioned person, in particular by the person manually exerting a force, in particular a tensile force or a compressive force, on the wing element, in particular via the handle element, and thus moving the wing element relative to the structure from the closed position to the open position. Furthermore, it is conceivable that, as a result of the operation of the operating element, the wing element can be or is moved electrically, i.e. using electrical energy, from the closed position to the open position relative to the structure, in particular after the lock has been unlocked.For this purpose, for example, an electrically operated movement device is provided which, for example, has the aforementioned, in particular electrically operated, lock actuator and / or at least one further, in particular electrically operated, movement actuator, wherein the movement actuator can, for example, be the aforementioned actuator. In particular, for example, the movement device can comprise the aforementioned actuator and / or be the aforementioned actuator. As a result of the operation of the operating element, for example, the movement device is controlled, in particular electrically, whereby the movement device is operated, in particular electrically, so that by means of the movement device the wing element is moved, in particular pivoted, from the closed position into the open position using electrical energy and thus electrically relative to the structure.This allows the lock to be unlocked particularly easily and the wing element to be opened particularly easily, i.e. moved from the closed position to the open position.

[0010] In order to be able to open the wing element particularly safely, and thus move it from the closed position to the open position, particularly after an accident involving the motor vehicle and thus, for example, in the event of a power failure in the motor vehicle, the invention provides that the actuator is assigned its own supply device, which is provided specifically for the actuator and has an energy store in which a first form of energy, different from electrical energy, is stored. The energy store is also referred to as a supply store, whereby whenever the energy store is mentioned above and below, this means the supply store, unless otherwise stated. The supply device also has an energy converter which can be supplied with the first form of energy stored in the energy store.This means that the energy storage device, which is also referred to as the first energy storage device, can provide the first form of energy stored in the energy storage device, such that the energy converter, which is also referred to as the first energy converter, can be supplied with the first form of energy stored in the energy storage device and provided by the energy storage device. By means of the energy converter, the first form of energy stored in the energy storage device, with which the energy converter can be supplied or is supplied, can be converted into a second form of energy different from the first form of energy, and the energy converter can provide the second form of energy into which the first form of energy was converted by means of the energy converter, such that the actuator can be supplied with the second form of energy provided or can be provided by the energy converter.As a result, the actuator can be operated by means of the second form of energy provided or that can be provided by the energy converter, in order to unlock the lock and / or open the wing element, for example by means of the actuator, and thus to move it from the closed position into the open position relative to the structure.

[0011] In a normal state of the motor vehicle, in which the aforementioned power supply is still functional, the lock can be unlocked, in particular electrically, and / or the wing element can be opened, in particular electrically, for example by means of the power supply comprising, for example, an on-board power supply of the motor vehicle or also designed as an on-board power supply of the motor vehicle, without operating the actuator, for example in that the aforementioned lock actuator and / or the aforementioned movement device can be supplied with energy, in particular electrical energy, by means of the power supply in order to thereby operate the lock actuator and / or the movement device and thus to unlock the lock by means of the lock actuator and / or to open the wing element by means of the movement device.In principle, however, it is conceivable that, for example as a result of a motor vehicle accident, the power supply fails, so that the lock actuator and / or the movement device can no longer be operated by means of the power supply, and so that the lock cannot be unlocked by means of the lock actuator and / or the wing element cannot be opened by means of the movement device. According to the invention, however, the supply device provided in addition to the power supply is now assigned to the actuator, so that even in the event of a failure of or damage to the power supply, the energy converter can be supplied with the first form of energy from the energy store, so that the energy converter can convert the first form of energy into the second form of energy, and so that even in the event of a failure of or damage to the power supply, the actuator can be supplied with the second form of energy and can thus be operated using the second form of energy.As a result, even in the event of a power failure or damage, the lock can be unlocked and / or the wing element can be opened by the actuator, so that, for example, even after a vehicle accident, the lock can be unlocked, especially automatically, and / or the wing element can be opened, especially automatically. This ensures safe opening of the wing element even after a vehicle accident, thus providing a particularly high level of security.

[0012] Preferably, the supply device is a component of the wing element, so that the supply device can be moved, i.e. pivoted, with the wing element relative to the structure between the open position and the closed position.

[0013] In order to be able to advantageously open the wing element even after an accident involving the motor vehicle and thus to achieve a particularly high level of safety, one embodiment of the invention provides that the first form of energy is chemical energy, which is stored, for example, in an energy carrier stored in the energy storage device and, in particular, formed separately from the energy storage device.

[0014] It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the energy carrier, which is in particular formed separately from the energy storage device and stored in the energy storage device, in particular accommodated in the energy storage device, is a liquid or a solid, and is therefore formed as a liquid or as a solid.

[0015] For example, the liquid can be a fuel such as diesel or gasoline. For example, the solid can be a granular material, in particular a powder. This can ensure a particularly high level of security. In order to be able to unlock the lock and / or open the wing element using the actuator, for example, particularly during and / or after a motor vehicle accident, a further embodiment of the invention provides for the second energy form to be electrical energy or mechanical energy.

[0016] To achieve a particularly high level of safety, a further embodiment of the invention provides for the supply device to be provided in addition to a drive motor of the motor vehicle driven by the drive motor. This creates redundancy so that, for example, even in the event of damage to the drive motor resulting from an accident involving the motor vehicle, the first form of energy can be converted into the second form of energy by the energy converter, and the actuator can thus be operated using the second form of energy.

[0017] In order to achieve a particularly high level of security, it has proven particularly advantageous if the supply device is provided in addition to each drive motor of the motor vehicle designed to drive the motor vehicle, so that advantageous redundancy and particularly high security can be achieved with regard to unlocking the lock and / or moving the wing element from the closed position to the open position.

[0018] A further embodiment is characterized in that the supply device is provided in addition to an electric machine of the motor vehicle, which is designed, in particular, to drive the motor vehicle purely electrically, and in addition to an electrical energy store, also referred to as a battery, by means of which the electric machine can be supplied with electrical energy stored in the battery. When reference is made above and below to the electrical energy store, this means the battery, unless otherwise stated, whereby the electrical energy store, i.e. the battery, is also referred to as the second energy store. This makes it possible to operate the actuator even if the battery is damaged and / or the actuator cannot be supplied with electrical energy stored in the battery.

[0019] In order to be able to realize a particularly high level of safety, it is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the supply device is provided in addition to each electrical machine of the motor vehicle designed for, in particular, purely electrical propulsion of the motor vehicle and in addition to each electrical energy store, also referred to as a battery, by means of which the respective electrical machine can be supplied with electrical energy stored in the respective electrical energy store, so that a particularly high level of redundancy or particularly high level of safety can be realized with regard to the operation of the actuator.

[0020] In a further embodiment of the invention, the motor vehicle has the aforementioned on-board electrical system, via which at least one consumer of the motor vehicle, provided in addition to the supply device, can be supplied with electrical energy. The supply device is provided in addition to the on-board electrical system. This allows the actuator to be operated even if the on-board electrical system is damaged, so that the supply of electrical energy via the on-board electrical system is no longer possible. This ensures a particularly high level of safety.

[0021] Finally, it has proven particularly advantageous if the actuator can be supplied with the second form of energy by means of the supply device independently of the on-board power supply, so that the actuator can be operated advantageously even if the on-board power supply has failed.

[0022] The actuator is preferably an electrically operated actuator. It is conceivable that the actuator can be supplied with electrical energy, for example, via the vehicle electrical system, so that the actuator can be operated using the electrical energy from the vehicle electrical system and thus electrically operated, in particular without operating the actuator using the energy converter and the energy storage device. Thus, for example, in the aforementioned normal state, in which the vehicle electrical system is still functional and thus intact, the actuator can be supplied with electrical energy via the vehicle electrical system, so that the actuator can be operated using the electrical energy from the vehicle electrical system, for example to unlock the lock and / or move the wing element from the closed position to the open position using the actuator.However, if, for example, a motor vehicle accident results in damage to the on-board electrical system so that the actuator can no longer be supplied with electrical energy via the on-board electrical system, the first form of energy from the energy storage device can be converted into the second form of energy using the energy converter, and the energy storage device can provide the second form of energy with which the actuator can be supplied in order to operate the actuator using the second form of energy, in particular while the actuator is no longer being supplied with electrical energy from the on-board electrical system. The actuator can therefore unlock the lock and / or move the wing element from the closed position to the open position if the on-board electrical system has failed, i.e. if the actuator cannot be supplied with electrical energy via the on-board electrical system. The second form of energy is therefore preferably electrical energy.This ensures a particularly high level of redundancy with regard to actuator operation, thus achieving a particularly high level of safety. Additional mechanical fallback levels can be avoided, thus keeping the costs and weight of the vehicle to a particularly low level.

[0023] Further details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment with the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 shows a partial schematic perspective view of a motor vehicle, with at least one wing element.

[0024] Fig. 1 shows a partial schematic perspective view of a motor vehicle 1, also referred to as a vehicle or motor vehicle and in this case referred to as a passenger car, whose interior 2, also referred to as a passenger cell or passenger compartment, is formed by a body 3 of the motor vehicle 1, preferably designed as a self-supporting body. The body 3 has a body opening 4, which in the case of the Fig. 1 is designed as a side door opening. The body opening 4 itself, that is to say when viewed alone, opens at one end into the interior 2 and at the other end into or onto an environment 5 of the motor vehicle 1. The body opening 4 is assigned a wing element 6 of the motor vehicle 1. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the wing element 6 is a side door, also simply referred to as a door, which is a lateral door of the motor vehicle 1. Thus, the body opening 4 is the aforementioned lateral door opening. The wing element 6 is movable relative to the body 3 between a closed position closing at least a partial area of ​​the body opening 4 and at least one open position O exposing at least the partial area of ​​the body opening 4, in particular is held pivotably on the body 3. This means that the wing element 6 can be moved, in particular pivoted, relative to the body 3 between the closed position and the open position O, while the wing element 6 (side door) is held on the body 3, i.e. is connected to the body 3.

[0025] The wing element 6 and thus the motor vehicle 1 have a Fig. 1 has a lock 7, shown particularly schematically, which is a component of the wing element 6 and can thus be moved, in particular pivoted, with the wing element 6 relative to the structure 3 between the closed position and the open position. The lock 7 can be adjusted between a locked state and an unlocked state. By means of the lock 7, the wing element 6 can be held in the closed position relative to the structure 3 and thus secured in the closed position, so that the wing element 6 can be secured by means of the lock 7 against movement relative to the structure 3 from the closed position into the open position O. The lock 7 is therefore also referred to as a door lock.

[0026] The wing element 6 has, for example, a Fig. 1 not visible operating element, which is arranged for example on an outer side AS of the wing element 6. In the closed position of the wing element 6, the outer side AS points away from the interior 2 and towards the surroundings 5, so that for example a person located in the surroundings 5 ​​can operate, in particular actuate, the operating element. By operating the operating element, the lock 7 can be electrically, in particular purely electrically, unlocked, i.e. electrically brought, i.e. transferred, from the locked state to the unlocked state of the lock 7. By moving the lock 7 from the locked state to the unlocked state of the lock 7, the lock 7 releases the wing element 6, which is initially in the closed position, for a movement relative to the body 3 of the motor vehicle 1 from the closed position to the open position O.

[0027] The wing element 6 and thus the motor vehicle 1 have, for example, a Fig. 1 particularly schematically illustrated actuator 8, which is also referred to as a lock actuator, door actuator or door lock actuator. Furthermore, the motor vehicle 1 has, for example, an on-board electrical system, which is also referred to, for example, as a power supply or forms a power supply. In a normal state of the motor vehicle 1, in whose normal state the on-board electrical system is intact and thus functional, the actuator 8 can be supplied with electrical energy via the on-board electrical system. The actuator 8 is in the Fig. 1, an electrically operable actuator is shown, which can be operated, i.e., electrically operated, by means of the electrical energy with which the actuator 8 is or can be supplied via the vehicle electrical system. By operating the actuator 8, i.e., in this case, by electrically operating the actuator 8, the lock 7 is unlocked and thus electrically unlocked, and thus can be electrically transferred from the locked state to the unlocked state. For example, the actuator 8 is controlled, in particular electrically, as a result of operating the operating element, whereby the actuator 8 is electrically operated and, as a result, the lock 7 is transferred from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0028] In principle, it is conceivable that, for example, as a result of an accident involving motor vehicle 1, the on-board electrical system fails, so that the actuator 8 can no longer be supplied with electrical energy via the on-board electrical system. However, in order to be able to unlock the lock 7, in particular electrically, even in the event of such a failure of the on-board electrical system and subsequently open the initially closed wing element 6, the actuator 8 is assigned its own supply device 9, which is specifically provided for the actuator 8. Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the supply device 9 is a component of the wing element 6, so that the supply device 9 can be moved, in particular pivoted, along with the wing element 6 relative to the structure 3 between the open position and the closed position. The supply device 9 has an energy store 10 in which a first form of energy, different from electrical energy, is stored. The supply device 9 also has an energy converter 11, which can be supplied with the first form of energy stored in the energy store 10. This means that the first form of energy stored in the energy store 10 can be supplied to the energy converter 11.By means of the energy converter 11, the first form of energy supplied to the energy converter 11 from the energy store 10 can be converted into a second form of energy which is different from the first form of energy and which can be provided by the energy converter 11. The actuator 8 can be supplied with the second form of energy provided by the energy converter 11, in particular independently of the on-board electrical system. This means that the second form of energy provided by the energy converter 11 can be supplied to the actuator 8, in particular independently of the on-board electrical system. The actuator 8 can thus be operated, in particular electrically operated, by means of the second form of energy supplied to the actuator 8 and provided by the energy converter 11. In the case of the device shown in . Fig.1, the second form of energy is electrical energy, so that the actuator 8 can be electrically operated by means of the second form of energy supplied to the actuator 8 and provided by the energy converter 11. Through this electrical operation of the actuator 8 by means of the second form of energy provided by the energy converter 11, the actuator 8 can electrically unlock the lock 7 without the actuator 8 being supplied with electrical energy via the vehicle's electrical system. Subsequently, that is, after this electrical unlocking of the lock 7, for example, a person located in the surrounding area 5 can simply open the wing element 6 and, for example, come to the aid of at least one person located in the interior 2.

[0029] Preferably, the first energy form is chemical energy stored in an energy carrier 12 stored in the energy storage device 10. The energy carrier 12 is formed separately from the energy storage device 10 and separately from the energy converter 11 and is accommodated in the energy storage device 10, thereby being stored in the energy storage device 10. For example, the energy carrier 12 is a solid, such as granular material, in particular a powder. However, the energy carrier 12 is very preferably a liquid, such as a fuel or combustible material.

[0030] The supply device 9 is provided in addition to the vehicle electrical system, so that the actuator 8 can be operated by means of the supply device 9 as described above, while the actuator 8 is not operated by means of the vehicle electrical system. Thus, the actuator 8 can be operated by means of the supply device 9, in particular even when the vehicle electrical system is inoperative and thus when the actuator 8 cannot be supplied with electrical energy via the vehicle electrical system. Preferably, the supply device 9 is provided in addition to each drive motor of the vehicle 1 designed to drive the vehicle 1.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the supply device is provided in addition to each electrical machine of the motor vehicle 1, which is designed in particular for purely electrical propulsion of the motor vehicle 1, and in addition to each electrical energy storage device by means of which the respective electrical machine can be supplied with electrical energy stored in the respective electrical energy storage device, wherein the respective electrical machine is, for example, the aforementioned respective drive motor. By means of the supply device 9, the actuator 8 can thus be operated, in particular, even when it is no longer possible to supply the actuator 8 with electrical energy by means of the respective drive motor, the respective electrical machine and / or the respective electrical energy storage device.

[0031] In the aforementioned normal state, it is also conceivable for the actuator 8 to be supplied with electrical energy from the electrical energy store, so that in the normal state the actuator 8 can be supplied by means of the electrical energy from the electrical energy store, in particular via the on-board electrical system. However, if the on-board electrical system fails, for example as a result of an accident involving motor vehicle 1, so that, for example, the actuator 8 can no longer be supplied with electrical energy from the electrical energy store via the on-board electrical system, the actuator 8 can be supplied with the second form of energy by means of the supply device 9, so that the actuator 8 can be operated using the second form of energy and can subsequently electrically unlock the lock 7. This ensures a particularly high level of security.

[0032] In particular, it is conceivable for the structure to have at least one second structure opening, wherein the previous and following statements regarding the first structure opening can readily be applied to the second structure opening and vice versa. For example, a second wing element provided in addition to the wing element is assigned to the second structure opening and is held on the structure so as to be movable, in particular pivotable, for example relative to the structure 3 between a second closed position closing at least a second partial area of ​​the second structure opening and at least one second open position releasing at least the second partial area. The previous and following statements regarding the first wing element can readily be applied to the second wing element and vice versa. Thus, in particular, the second wing element is provided in addition to the first wing element.The wing elements are therefore components formed separately from one another. In this case, the motor vehicle has, for example, at least one second actuator provided in addition to the actuator, by means of which, by operating the second actuator, a second lock, by means of which the second wing element is to be secured in the second closed position relative to the body, can be unlocked, in particular electrically, wherein the previous and following statements regarding the first actuator can also be readily applied to the second actuator and vice versa. Alternatively or additionally, for example, by operating the second actuator, the second wing element can be moved from the second closed position into the second open position relative to the body.In this case, the second actuator is preferably assigned its own second supply device, which is provided specifically for the second actuator and, in particular, in addition to the supply device. This second supply device has a second energy storage device provided in addition to the energy storage device, in which a third energy form, different from electrical energy, is stored, which, for example, corresponds to the first energy form. The previous and following statements regarding the first supply device, the first energy storage device, and the first energy form can also be readily applied to the second supply device, the second energy storage device, and the third energy form, and vice versa.The second supply device has a second energy converter that can be supplied with the third energy form stored in the second energy store and is provided in addition to the energy converter. By means of this second energy converter, the third energy form stored in the second energy store can be converted into a fourth energy form that is different from the third energy form, and the fourth energy form can be provided. For example, the fourth energy form corresponds to the second energy form. The previous and following statements regarding the second energy form can also be readily applied to the fourth energy form, and the previous and following statements regarding the first energy converter can also be readily applied to the second energy converter, and vice versa.The second actuator can be supplied with the fourth form of energy provided or can be provided by the second energy converter, whereby the second actuator can be operated by means of the fourth form of energy provided or can be provided by the second energy converter in order to thereby unlock the second lock, in particular electrically, for example by means of the second actuator and / or to move the second wing element from the second closed position into the second open position relative to the structure.

[0033] Preferably, the second supply device is a component of the second wing element, so that the second supply device can be moved, i.e. pivoted, with the second wing element relative to the structure between the second open position and the second closed position.

[0034] In particular, for example, each side door of the motor vehicle can be equipped with a respective supply device so that a particularly high level of security can be achieved.
