Description
The invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a passenger car, according to the preamble of claim 1.From the general prior art, vehicles designed in particular as passenger cars are already known, the passenger cabins of which are also referred to as cabins, interior spaces, passenger cells or passenger spaces. The respective passenger cabin of the respective vehicle is formed by a structure of the respective vehicle, which structure is designed, for example, as a self-supporting body. During a respective journey of the respective vehicle, persons such as, for example, the driver or the driver of the respective vehicle can be located in the respective passenger cabin of the respective vehicle.U.S. Pat. No. 5,478,274 A discloses a vehicle of the generic type. In addition, KR 10 2022 / 0 079 228 A discloses a storage device for a vehicle as known.It is the object of the present invention to provide a vehicle, in particular a passenger car, so that objects can be transported particularly advantageously by means of the vehicle.This object is achieved by a vehicle having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient developments of the invention are specified in the other claims.The invention relates to a vehicle, the passenger cabin of which, also referred to as cabin, interior, passenger compartment or passenger compartment, is formed by a structure of the vehicle, which is preferably designed as a self-supporting body. During a respective journey of the vehicle, persons who are also referred to as occupants can be present in the passenger cabin, and therefore in the interior. For this purpose, at least one seat system is arranged, for example, in the passenger cabin, which provides at least one seat for the respective occupant. In particular, the seat system provides a plurality of seats for the respective occupants. The vehicle has, for example, at least or exactly two vehicle axles, also referred to simply as axles, namely a first vehicle axle and a second vehicle axle. The vehicle axles are arranged, for example, one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and thus one after the other. The respective vehicle axle has, for example, at least or exactly two vehicle wheels, which are also simply referred to as wheels. The respective vehicle wheels of the respective vehicle axle are arranged on mutually opposite sides of the vehicle and thus of the superstructure in the vehicle transverse direction of the vehicle. The vehicle wheels of the vehicle are ground contact elements, by means of which the vehicle can be or is supported on a ground in the vertical direction of the vehicle downwards. If the vehicle is driven along the ground while the vehicle is supported on the ground via the ground contact elements in the vertical direction of the vehicle downwards, the ground contact elements roll off the ground, in particular directly. The respective vehicle wheel is rotatable about a respective wheel rotational axis relative to the body. In particular, when the vehicle is designed as a motor vehicle, one of the occupants can be the driver or the driver of the motor vehicle.The vehicle has a luggage compartment which is separated from the passenger cabin, in particular completely, and which is also referred to as a stowage compartment, cargo compartment or luggage compartment. Items such as luggage can be transported in the luggage compartment. Furthermore, the vehicle has a cabin ventilation device, which is also referred to as a first ventilation device. The passenger cabin can be ventilated by means of the first ventilation device. This means that air, in particular from the surroundings of the vehicle, can be introduced into the passenger cabin by means of the first ventilation device. For this purpose, the cabin ventilation device has at least one air duct through which air can flow, which air can in particular come at least partially from the environment of the vehicle and is also referred to as an inlet air duct. The air duct has an inlet via which the air can be introduced into the air duct, in particular from the surroundings of the vehicle. The air duct also has at least one outlet, which opens into the passenger cabin, so that the air duct opens into the passenger cabin via the outlet. The inlet is also referred to as an air inlet, and the outlet is also referred to as an air outlet. For example, the outlet is or comprises at least one air vent, also referred to as an outflow device. At least a portion of the air flowing through the air duct can be discharged from the air duct via the outlet and introduced into the passenger cabin, as a result of which the passenger cabin can be ventilated, that is to say can be ventilated or ventilated. Furthermore, the cabin ventilation device has a filter arranged in the air duct, in particular passing through the air duct, by means of which filter the air flowing through the air duct can be filtered. The filter, also referred to as an air filter, is very preferably designed as a HEPA filter, i.e. as a high-efficiency particle air (HEPA).In order to be able to transport objects in the luggage compartment and thus by means of the vehicle in a particularly advantageous manner, it is provided according to the invention that the vehicle has a luggage compartment ventilation device, which is provided in particular in addition to the cabin ventilation device and by means of which the luggage compartment can be ventilated. The first ventilation device is thus designed to ventilate the passenger cabin, and the luggage compartment ventilation device is thus designed to ventilate the luggage compartment. The luggage compartment ventilation device is also referred to as a second ventilation device. The feature that the luggage compartment can be ventilated by means of the second ventilation device is to be understood to mean that-as will be explained in more detail below-air, in particular from the environment of the vehicle, can be introduced into the luggage compartment. For this purpose, the second ventilation device has a feed duct which is provided in particular in addition to the air duct and by means of which, in order to ventilate the luggage compartment, at least some of the air which flows through the air duct and is filtered by means of the filter can be branched off from the air duct at a branching point arranged downstream of the filter and introduced into the feed duct. By means of the feed duct, the air branched off from the air duct and introduced into the feed duct can be guided to an introduction point and introduced into the luggage compartment at the introduction point, as a result of which the luggage compartment can be ventilated. For example, the feed duct is connected or can be connected fluidically to the air duct at the branching point, with the result that at least the stated part of the air flowing through the air duct can be branched off from the air duct and introduced into the feed duct at the branching point. For example, the feed channel is fluidically connectable or connected to the luggage compartment at the introduction point, wherein, for example, the feed channel opens into the luggage compartment at the introduction point. Thus, the air branched from the air duct introduced into the supply duct can be guided from the branching point to the introduction point by means of the supply duct, and the air branched from the air duct flowing through the supply duct can be introduced into the luggage compartment at the introduction point by means of the supply duct.The second ventilation device also has an exhaust air channel, which is provided in particular in addition to the air channel and / or in addition to the feed channel and by means of which, that is to say via which the air introduced into the luggage compartment can be discharged from the luggage compartment and introduced into the air channel. For this purpose, for example, the exhaust air duct is or can be connected fluidically to the luggage compartment at a first connection point, wherein the first connection point is preferably a point different from the introduction point, and is therefore spaced apart from the introduction point. Furthermore, for example, the exhaust air duct is or can be fluidically connected to the air duct at a second connection point, wherein the second connection point is preferably a point different from the branching point, and is therefore spaced apart from the branching point. Preferably, it is provided that in the flow direction of the air flowing through the air duct, the second connection point is arranged upstream of the branching point, i.e. the branching point is arranged downstream of the second connection point. For example, at the first connection point, the air introduced into the luggage compartment can flow out of the luggage compartment and into the exhaust air duct. The exhaust air duct can guide, i.e. conduct, the air that has flowed into the exhaust air duct and originates from the luggage compartment from the first connection point to the second connection point. At the second connection point, the air flowing through the exhaust air channel can be discharged from the exhaust air channel and introduced into the air channel.The second ventilation device furthermore has a blower, which is also referred to as a first blower. If the foregoing and the following text refer to the blower, this should be understood to mean, unless otherwise stated, the first blower of the second ventilation device. The blower is preferably designed as an electric blower, i.e. as an electrically operable blower. By means of the blower, the air can be conveyed through the supply duct, the luggage compartment and the exhaust air duct.Thus, for example, an air path is provided which comprises the feed duct, the luggage compartment and the exhaust air duct and preferably also the blower, wherein the air path is or can be fluidically connected to the air duct at the branching point, so that at the branching point at least the part of the air flowing through the air duct can be branched off from the air duct and introduced into the air path. The air introduced into the air path can flow through the air path, wherein the air flowing through the air path on its path from the branching point to the second connection point flows through the feed channel, then through the luggage compartment and then through the exhaust air channel and in the process flows from the branching point to the second connection point and flows at and via the second connection point, in particular again, into the air channel. Thus, in the flow direction of the air flowing through the air path, the feed duct, the luggage compartment and the exhaust air duct are arranged relative to one another in such a way that the luggage compartment is arranged downstream of the feed duct, the exhaust air duct is arranged downstream of the luggage compartment, the introduction point is arranged downstream of the branching point, the first connection point is arranged downstream of the introduction point and the second connection point is arranged downstream of the first connection point. Preferably, it is provided that the air path, viewed from the branching point toward the second connection point, is completely sealed off for the air path, so that, for example, all the air flowing into the air path at the branching point flows through the feed duct, the luggage compartment and the exhaust air duct and, in particular again, flows into the air duct at the second connection point.Since the air flowing through the air path and thus flowing into the luggage compartment is filtered by means of the filter, the air flowing into the luggage compartment has a particularly high purity, so that, for example, only a very small number of particles are contained in the air which can be introduced or is introduced into the luggage compartment at the introduction point. In other words, the air which is introduced or can be introduced into the luggage compartment at the introduction point has only a very low degree of contamination. Thus, in the luggage compartment, objects which are very sensitive to soiling, such as particles, for example, can also be advantageously transported. In other words, the air which is introduced or can be introduced into the luggage compartment at the introduction point is advantageously clean air, also referred to as clean air or fresh air. The invention thus also allows the luggage compartment to be used to store and transport items which are sensitive to soiling in the luggage compartment. Furthermore, for example, objects or objects which require fresh air during their transport can be transported in the luggage compartment. In addition, the luggage compartment itself is protected from excessive dirt. For example, sensitive objects such as medicines can be advantageously transported in the luggage compartment by the invention, namely in an advantageously clean and dust-free or low-dust environment. The invention thus allows the luggage compartment to be used as a secure stowage space and / or transport space for objects which are sensitive to soiling such as particles.Furthermore, an advantageous air flow formed by air flowing through the air path can be realized by means of the blower, so that a supply of the luggage compartment with air according to requirements can be provided. In particular, the blower can ensure an advantageous air throughput through the luggage compartment, so that objects can be advantageously transported and / or at least temporarily stored in the luggage compartment.In order to be able to transport objects in the luggage compartment particularly advantageously by means of the vehicle, it is provided in an embodiment of the invention that the luggage compartment is designed as a luggage compartment which is arranged on a front of the vehicle and thus on the front side and in front of the passenger cabin in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and which is usually also referred to as a trunk. The word "frunk" is an artificial word from English and is formed by the words "front" (English for front, front or front... ) and "trunk" (English for trunk, cargo space or stowage space). The front luggage compartment, which is also referred to as a front luggage compartment or front storage compartment, is thus arranged in a front region, and therefore on the front of the vehicle, which is designed as a passenger car, for example.For example, the luggage compartment itself, i.e. viewed alone, has an opening via which, for example, the luggage compartment itself, i.e. viewed alone, opens into or onto the surroundings of the luggage compartment, in particular of the vehicle. Thus, for example, an object to be transported, such as a bag or a luggage case, can be moved through the opening and thus moved via the opening into the stowage space (luggage compartment) and thereby be arranged in the luggage compartment, so that the object can subsequently be transported in the luggage compartment. Furthermore, it is possible to move an object initially arranged in the luggage compartment through the opening, in particular in the vehicle vertical direction of the vehicle, upwards and thereby to move it out of the luggage compartment, thus to remove it from the luggage compartment and to move it on or into the environment of the luggage compartment, in particular of the vehicle. For example, the luggage compartment is bounded and thus formed, in particular directly, by a storage compartment element, also referred to as a storage compartment element and preferably embodied as a solid body, wherein, for example, the storage compartment element can be embodied at least substantially in the shape of a trough. In particular, the storage space element is inherently rigid, i.e. dimensionally stable. For example, the storage space element is formed separately from the superstructure and is fastened at least indirectly, in particular directly, to the superstructure of the vehicle. In this case, for example, the opening is formed by the stowage space element, that is to say is bounded, in particular directly. In particular, the storage space element can be a preferably self-rigid solid body. In particular, the stowage space element completely surrounds the luggage space in the circumferential direction of the luggage space, the circumferential direction of which extends, for example, around the vehicle vertical direction of the passenger vehicle.For example, the vehicle has a closure element which can be designed, for example, as a hood, in particular as a front hood. The front hood is also referred to as a front flap. The closure element is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the superstructure, for example between a closed position covering the opening in particular in the vehicle vertical direction of the vehicle upwards and thus closing it, and at least one open position released in particular in the vehicle vertical direction of the vehicle in particular upwards. This means, for example, that in the closed position the opening and thus the luggage compartment are closed by the closure element, so that, for example, objects arranged in the luggage compartment during a journey of the vehicle cannot fall out of the luggage compartment in an undesired manner via the opening. In the open position, the closure element releases at least the partial region of the opening, so that in the open position of the closure element, for example, the aforementioned object can be moved through the partial region and thus arranged in the luggage compartment or removed from the luggage compartment. The storage space element can be a component of the superstructure, or the storage space element is formed separately from the superstructure and held, i.e. fastened, at least indirectly, in particular directly, on the superstructure. In order to be able to transport objects in the luggage compartment and / or store them at least temporarily by means of the vehicle, it is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the vehicle is designed as a passenger car.The vehicle is quite preferably designed as an electric vehicle, in particular as a battery-electric vehicle (BEV).In order to be able to ventilate the luggage compartment particularly advantageously and, as a result, to transport objects in the luggage compartment particularly advantageously, it is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the blower is arranged in the feed channel.A further embodiment is characterized in that the cabin ventilation device has a second blower provided in addition to the blower, by means of which blower the air can be conveyed through the air duct. The second blower is preferably designed as an electric blower, thus as an electrically operable blower. Thus, it is possible to advantageously ventilate the luggage compartment without unduly interfering with ventilation of the cabin and vice versa. For example, the passenger cabin can be ventilated while ventilating the luggage compartment is omitted. It is also conceivable to ventilate the luggage compartment while ventilating the interior compartment, i.e. the passenger cabin, is omitted. By means of the first blower, the air can be actively conveyed through the air path in order to actively ventilate the luggage compartment as a result. Consequently, the air can be actively conveyed through the air duct by means of the second blower, in order to actively ventilate the passenger cabin and thus the interior.In a further, particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the second blower is arranged in the air duct. As a result, the passenger cabin can be ventilated particularly advantageously without, for example, undesired impairment of ventilation of the luggage compartment, as a result of which ventilation of the luggage compartment in a particularly required manner can be realized. Thus, objects can be transported in the luggage compartment in a particularly advantageous manner.In a further, particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, a valve element, also referred to as a first valve element, is arranged in the feed duct, by means of which valve element, in particular by electrically controlling the valve element, a quantity of the air flowing through the feed duct can be adjusted. For example, the valve element can be switched over between a first blocking state fluidically blocking the feed duct by at least one or more first releasing states fluidically releasing the feed duct. As a result, ventilation of the luggage compartment according to requirements can be realized, so that objects can be transported and / or at least temporarily stored in the luggage compartment in a particularly advantageous manner.A further embodiment is characterized in that a valve element, also referred to as a second valve element, is arranged in the exhaust air duct, by means of which valve element a quantity of the air flowing through the exhaust air duct can be adjusted. In particular, by electrically controlling the second valve element, the quantity of air flowing through the exhaust air channel can be adjusted. Preferably, the second valve element is provided in addition to the first valve element. The second valve element enables the air introduced into the luggage compartment to be discharged as required, so that the luggage compartment can be ventilated particularly advantageously. As a result, objects can be transported in the luggage compartment in a particularly advantageous manner.For example, the second valve element can be switched between a second blocking state that fluidically blocks the exhaust air duct and at least one or more second releasing states that release the exhaust air duct, in order to thereby be able to represent a need-based discharge of air from the luggage compartment.In a further, particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, a valve element, also referred to as a third valve element, is arranged in the air duct, by means of which valve element a quantity of the air flowing through the air duct can be adjusted. For example, the third valve element is provided in addition to the first valve element and / or in addition to the second valve element. For example, the third valve element can be switched between a third blocking state that fluidically blocks the air duct and at least one or more release states that release the air duct. In particular, by electrically controlling the third valve element, the quantity of air flowing through the air duct can be adjusted, i.e. varied. As a result, for example, the passenger cabin can be ventilated as required without undesired impairment of ventilation of the luggage compartment. As a result, objects can be transported in luggage compartment in a particularly advantageous manner.In order to be able to protect the luggage compartment and thus an object arranged in the luggage compartment advantageously from undesired soiling, it is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the luggage compartment has the aforementioned opening, viewed alone, via which objects to be transported in the luggage compartment can be moved into the luggage compartment and moved out of the luggage compartment. The vehicle has the structure forming the passenger cabin and a first cover element which is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the luggage compartment and relative to the structure and in particular also relative to the storage compartment element between a first closed position closing the opening and a first open position releasing at least a partial region of the opening and is pivotable, in particular pivotable, and in particular pivotable about a first pivot axis extending in the transverse direction of the vehicle. For example, the opening is covered and thus closed in the vehicle vertical direction of the vehicle upward, in particular completely, by the first cover element. The vehicle has a second cover element which is provided in addition to the first cover element. In particular, the second cover element is the aforementioned closure element. The second cover element is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the luggage compartment, relative to the first cover element and relative to the superstructure and preferably also relative to the storage compartment element between a second closed position and a second open position and is pivotable, in particular pivotable, and in particular pivotable about a second pivot axis extending in a vehicle transverse direction. Preferably, it is provided that the pivot axes extend parallel to one another and are spaced apart from one another, in particular at least in the vehicle longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In particular, the cover elements are formed separately from one another. For example, the second closed position is the aforementioned closed position of the closure element, and for example, the second open position is the aforementioned open position of the closure element. In the second closed position, the second cover element covers the first cover element located in the first closed position toward the surroundings of the vehicle and, in the process, preferably upward and / or completely in the vehicle vertical direction. In the second open position, the second cover element at least partially releases the first cover element toward the surroundings of the vehicle and, in particular, in the vehicle vertical direction upward, so that the first cover element, in the second open position of the second cover element, is movable between the first closed position and the first open position relative to the superstructure and relative to the second cover element and relative to the luggage compartment preferably also relative to the storage compartment element. For example, in the second closed position of the second cover element, a movement of the first cover element between the first closed position and the first open position, in particular by the second cover element, is prevented. It is thus possible to move the second cover element between the second open position and the second closed position relative to the luggage compartment, relative to the superstructure and relative to the first cover element and in particular relative to the storage space element, while the first cover element remains in the first closed position and closes the opening, in particular completely. This makes it possible to prevent contaminants, such as particles, from entering the luggage compartment in an undesirable manner when the second cover element is opened, i.e. moved from the second closed position into the second open position. Objects can thus be transported in the luggage compartment in a particularly advantageous manner. It can be seen that the first cover element is a separate cover which is provided in addition to the second cover element and is separate from the luggage compartment, as a result of which the luggage compartment and objects arranged in the luggage compartment can be protected particularly advantageously from excessive contamination.Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment and with reference to the drawing. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description and the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the single figure can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations or alone without departing from the scope of the invention.The drawing shows a schematic and sectional side view of a vehicle designed as a passenger car in the single FIG. 1. FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a portion of a vehicle 10 which is in the present case embodied as a passenger car and whose passenger cabin, which is also referred to as the interior, passenger compartment, passenger compartment or cabin, is not recognizable in FIG. 1 and is formed by a structure of the vehicle 10 which is embodied, for example, as a self-supporting body. During a trip of the vehicle 10, persons, such as the driver or the driver of the vehicle 10, may also be present in the passenger cabin. The vehicle 10 also has a luggage compartment 12 which is separated from the passenger cabin, in particular completely, and which, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, is arranged on a front 14 of the vehicle 10 and is therefore designed as a front luggage compartment, that is to say as a front stowage compartment. Therefore, the luggage compartment 12 is also referred to as a chunk. The luggage compartment 12 is arranged in front of the passenger cabin in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 10, wherein the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 10 is illustrated by a double arrow 16. The vehicle 10 has a cabin ventilation device 18, which is also referred to as a first ventilation device. The passenger cabin can be ventilated by means of the cabin ventilation device 18. For this purpose, the cabin ventilation device 18 has an air duct 20 through which air can flow, wherein the air flowing through the air duct 20, that is to say an air flow formed by the air flowing through the air duct 20, is illustrated by arrows 22. For example, the air flowing through the air duct 20 and illustrated in FIG. 1 by the arrows 22 originates from an environment 24 of the vehicle 10. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the inlet 26 is arranged in a so-called water diverter which adjoins a lower, front edge of a windshield of the vehicle 10 towards the front, for example, in the vehicle longitudinal direction of the vehicle 10. The air duct 20 is delimited at least partially by a cover element 28, in particular directly, in particular in such a way that the air duct 20 is delimited, for example, at least partially in the vehicle vertical direction downwards by the cover element 28, in particular directly. The cover element 28 is thus used as a guide element, by means of which the air flowing through the air duct 20 is guided, that is to say guided. The air duct 20 has an outlet 30, which is illustrated particularly schematically in FIG. 1 and opens into the passenger cabin, with the result that the air duct 20 opens into the passenger cabin via the outlet 30. Air flowing through the air duct 20 can thus be discharged from the air duct 20 via the outlet 30 and introduced into the passenger cabin, as a result of which the passenger cabin can be ventilated. The cabin ventilation device 18 furthermore has a filter 32 which is arranged in the air duct 20 and is also referred to as an air filter and by means of which the air flowing through the air duct 20 can be filtered or is filtered. For example, the filter 32 is configured as a HEPA filter. For example, the filter 32 is arranged in a housing 34, which has a receiving space 36. The receiving space 36 is bounded, for example, by the housing 34, in particular directly, wherein the filter 32 is arranged in the receiving space 36. For example, the receiving space 36 is divided by the filters 32 into a first sub-region T 1 and a second sub-region T 2, wherein the air flowing through the air channel 20 can flow through the filter 32 and thus can flow from the sub-region T 2 into the sub-region T 1. In the flow direction of the air flowing through the air duct 20, the subregion T 1 is thus arranged downstream of the subregion T 2, such that the air flowing through the filter 32 and thus flowing from the subregion T 2 into the subregion T 1 is filtered by means of the filter 32 during its flow from the subregion T 2 into the subregion T 1 and in the process through the filter 32. The air taken up in the sub-region T 1 is therefore clean air, since it has been filtered by means of the filter 32. The air taken up in the sub-region T 2 is, for example, what is known as raw air, since it has not yet been filtered by means of the filter 32.In order to be able to transport objects which are sensitive to dirt such as particles, in particular, in the luggage compartment 12, the vehicle 10 has a luggage compartment ventilation device 38 which is provided in particular in addition to the cabin ventilation device 18 and by means of which the luggage compartment 12 can be ventilated. For this purpose, the luggage compartment ventilation device 38, which is also referred to as a second ventilation device, has a feed duct 40, by means of which, in order to ventilate the luggage compartment 12, at least some of the air flowing through the air duct 20 and filtered by means of the filter 32 can be branched off from the air duct 20 at a branching point AS arranged downstream of the filter 32 in the direction of flow and introduced into the feed duct 40. The air branched off from the air duct 20 at the branching point AS and introduced into the feed duct 40 can flow through the feed duct 40 and can be guided or is guided by means of the feed duct 40 from the branching point AS to an introduction point ES. At the introduction point ES, the air flowing through the feed duct 40 can be discharged from the feed duct 40 and, in particular, introduced directly into the luggage compartment 12, so that the air flowing through the feed duct 40 can be guided from the branching point AS to the introduction point ES by means of the feed duct 40 and can be introduced into the luggage compartment 12 at the introduction point ES. It can be seen that, for example, the feed duct 40 is fluidically connectable or connected to the air duct 20 at the branching point AS. At the introduction point ES, the feed duct 40 is or can be fluidically connected to the luggage compartment 12. For example, the feed channel 40 is delimited, in particular directly, by a line element 42 which is in particular inherently rigid and / or is designed as a solid body. It can also be seen that the feed duct 40 connects the air duct 20 to the luggage compartment 12 and in the process connects the branching point AS to the introduction point ES. The air branched off from the air duct 20 and introduced into the feed duct 40 and flowing through the feed duct 40 and thus flowing from the branching point AS toward the introduction point ES is illustrated by arrows 44. The air that has flowed out of the feed duct 40 at the introduction point ES and subsequently flows through the luggage compartment 12 is illustrated by arrows 46 and thus originates from the feed duct 40.The luggage compartment ventilation device 38 also has an exhaust air duct 48, by means of which the air flowing through the luggage compartment 12 and illustrated by the arrows 46 can be discharged from the luggage compartment 12 and introduced into the air duct 20. It can be seen that the luggage compartment 12 is delimited by a storage compartment element 50, in particular directly, which is designed in particular as a solid body and / or is inherently rigid. The exhaust air duct 48 is or comprises, for example, a through-opening of the stowage space element 50, through which the air flowing through the luggage compartment 12 and introduced into the luggage compartment 12 can flow. The through-opening opens, for example, on the one hand, in particular directly, into the luggage compartment 12 and, on the other hand, in particular directly, into the air duct 20.The luggage compartment ventilation device 38 also has a first blower 52, by means of which the air branched off from the air duct 20 and introduced into the feed duct 40 can be conveyed through the feed duct 40, through the luggage compartment 12 and through the exhaust air duct 48 and in particular can be conveyed into the air duct 20. In addition, for example, at the branching point AS, at least the part of the air flowing through the air duct 20 can be branched off from the air duct 20 by means of the blower 52 and conveyed into the feed duct 40 and thus introduced into the feed duct 40.It can be seen from FIG. 1 that the blower 52 is arranged in the feed channel 40.The cabin ventilation device 18 has a second blower 54 which is provided in addition to the blower 52 and is arranged in the air duct 20 in the present case. By means of the blower 54, the air can be conveyed through the air duct 20 and conveyed into the passenger cabin. In the air duct 20, a so-called air conditioning box 56 is also arranged. For example, at least one heat exchanger, which can be flown around and / or flowed through by the air flowing through the air channel 20, can be arranged in the climate box 56, which heat exchanger can also be flown through and / or flowed around by a temperature control medium, for example. By way of the heat exchanger, for example, a heat exchange can take place between temperature control medium and the air flowing through the air duct 20 and to be introduced into the passenger cabin, as a result of which the air flowing through the air duct 20 and to be introduced into the passenger cabin can be temperature-controlled, that is to say cooled and / or heated.A first valve element 58 is arranged in the feed duct 40, which in the present case is arranged downstream of the blower 52 and upstream of at least a part of the luggage compartment 12. In the present case, for example, the valve element 58 is arranged at the introduction point ES. By means of the valve element 58, an amount of the air flowing through the feed duct 40, and consequently an amount of the air flowing through the feed duct 40, can be adjusted. In the exhaust air channel 48, a second valve element 60 is arranged, which is provided in particular in addition to the valve element 58 and by means of which a quantity of the air flowing through the exhaust air channel 48 can be adjusted. For example, the valve element 60 is arranged in the aforementioned passage opening of the storage space element 50. A third valve element 62 is arranged in the air duct 20, by means of which a quantity of the air flowing through the air duct 20, and consequently a quantity of the air flowing through the air duct 20, can be adjusted. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a fourth valve element 64 is provided, which is arranged, for example, in the sub-region T 1 and / or in the feed duct 40. In particular, the valve element 64 is arranged upstream of the blower 52 and downstream of the filter 32 in the flow direction of the air flowing through the feed duct 40. For example, by means of the valve element 64, an amount of the air flowing through the feed duct 40 can be adjusted. It can be seen that the branching point AS is arranged in the sub-region T 1.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 10 has a cover element, also referred to as a closure element, in the form of a front hood 66, which is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the superstructure, relative to the luggage compartment 12 and relative to the stowage space element 50 between a closed position shown in FIG. 1 and at least one open position and is pivotable, in particular, about a pivot axis extending in the transverse direction of the vehicle 10. The vehicle transverse direction of the vehicle 10 is illustrated by 68 and extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 1 It can also be seen that the luggage compartment 12 per se, i.e. viewed alone, has an opening 70, via which objects to be transported in the luggage compartment 12 can be moved into the luggage compartment 12 and moved out of the luggage compartment and can be moved in particular at or into the environment 24. For example, the opening 70 is surrounded and thus limited completely circumferentially in the circumferential direction of the luggage compartment 12 by an edge region of the storage compartment element 50, in particular directly. A seal 72 is provided, which extends, for example, in the circumferential direction of the luggage compartment 12 completely circumferentially around the opening 70. For example, the seal 72 is formed separately from the storage space element 50 and / or separately from the front hood 66. For example, the seal 72 is held on the storage space element 50 so that the front hood 66 is movable, in particular pivotable, relative to the seal 72 between the open position and the closed position S. In the closed position S, the opening 70 is completely covered by the front hood 66 in the vehicle vertical direction of the vehicle 10 towards the top and is thus completely closed. In the open position, the front hood 66 releases at least one partial region of the opening 70 upwards, in particular in the vehicle vertical direction of the vehicle 10, and in the process towards the environment 24, so that in the open position at least one object can be moved through the released partial region of the opening 70. As a result, the object can be arranged in the luggage compartment 12 or removed from the luggage compartment 12. It can be seen that in the closed position S, the opening 70 is completely covered and thus closed by the front hood 66 to the environment 24 and in the present case in the vertical direction of the vehicle. In the closed position S, the front hood 66 bears directly against the seal 72, with the result that, in the closed position S, the front hood 66 is sealed off from the stowage space element 50 by means of the seal 72. As a result, the luggage compartment 12 is sealed, so that no contamination, such as particles or liquids, can enter the luggage compartment 12.
