1. A ventilation device for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a first ventilation duct for the throughflow of a first air flow,
a second ventilation duct that is separate from the first ventilation duct for the throughflow of a second air flow, and
an air outlet that is coupled in fluid communication to a first duct end of the first ventilation duct and to a second duct end of the second ventilation duct for discharging an overall air flow into a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle,
wherein the overall air flow includes the first air flow and the second air flow,
wherein a first air flow intensity of the first air flow and a second air flow intensity of the second air flow can be set individually,
wherein the air outlet has a first deflecting wall downstream of the first duct end in a direction of flow,
wherein the first deflecting wall deflects the first air flow such that the first air flow intersects the second air flow,
wherein a suction device and a blow-out device are provided at the air outlet, wherein the suction device draws in at least one of the first air flow or the second air flow, and wherein the blow-out device creates a blow-out air flow that interacts with at least one of the first air flow or the second air flow,
wherein the air outlet further has a second deflecting wall downstream of the second duct end in the direction of flow to deflect the second air flow toward the first air flow, the second deflecting wall opposing the first deflecting wall such that an air outlet duct is provided between an inner surface of the first deflecting wall and an inner surface of the second deflecting wall, the inner surface of the first deflecting wall opposing the inner surface of the second deflecting wall,
wherein the first deflecting wall and the second deflecting wall are shaped so that the air outlet duct has a narrowest air outlet cross section provided between the inner surface of the first deflecting wall and the inner surface of the second deflecting wall,
wherein upstream of the narrowest air outlet cross section, the air outlet duct has a first air outlet cross section provided between the inner surface of the first deflecting wall and the inner surface of the second deflecting wall that is wider than the narrowest air outlet cross section,
wherein downstream of the narrowest air outlet cross section, the air outlet duct has a second air outlet cross section provided between the inner surface of the first deflecting wall and the inner surface of the second deflecting wall that is wider than the narrowest air outlet cross section,
wherein, in the direction of flow, the suction device is arranged downstream of the narrowest air outlet cross section of the air outlet, and wherein in the direction of flow, the blow-out device is arranged downstream of the narrowest air outlet cross section of the air outlet,
wherein the first deflecting wall has a first curvature, wherein the first curvature is directed away from the second air flow in the direction of flow,
wherein the second deflecting wall has a second curvature, and wherein the second curvature is directed away from the first air flow in the direction of flow, and
wherein the second curvature adjoins a rounding of the second deflecting wall pointing towards the first air flow, so that the second deflecting wall initially goes towards the first air flow and subsequently turns away therefrom.
