Air supply device with intake pipes that overlap in an air chamber, internal combustion engine with an air supply device, and motor vehicle

An air supply apparatus for an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• an air collector;
• and a first intake manifold and a second intake manifold, wherein the first intake manifold and the second intake manifold are each connected to the air collector, wherein each of the first intake manifold and the second intake manifold is configured to supply air to a respective cylinder of the internal combustion engine, wherein the air supply apparatus is configured to couple to the cylinders such that the cylinders are located on a first end of the air supply apparatus in a first direction, wherein the first intake manifold includes a first intake manifold end portion which is assigned to a first inlet opening such that an air collector interior space of the air collector is in fluid communication with a first intake manifold interior space of the first intake manifold, wherein the second intake manifold includes a second intake manifold end portion which is assigned to a second inlet opening such that an air collector interior space of the air collector is in fluid communication with a second intake manifold interior space of the second intake manifold, wherein the air collector interior space is in fluid communication with each of the first intake manifold interior space and the second intake manifold interior space, wherein each of the first intake manifold and the second intake manifold terminate in the air collector interior space, wherein the first intake manifold and the second intake manifold overlap on a common overlap region in at least one direction, the at least one direction being oriented perpendicularly with respect to a center axis of the first intake manifold end portion and oriented toward the first end of the air supply apparatus in the first direction, wherein the air supply apparatus comprises at least two throttle elements for setting respective air quantities which can be fed to the cylinders via the first intake manifold and the second intake manifold, wherein the at least two throttle elements are coupled to an actuating element configured to jointly adjust the throttle elements, and wherein the at least one actuating element includes a shaft oriented along the at least one direction.
