Detection device for a conveyor

1. A detection device positioned in a conveyor that includes conveying rollers arranged between two lateral uprights to convey goods in a conveying direction, the detection device comprising:

an elongate support extending along a longitudinal axis, said support supporting a number of detectors distributed along the longitudinal axis to detect the goods conveyed by the conveyor,

said support positioned between two conveying rollers in a plane lower than a conveying surface formed by the rollers and ends of the support fixed to respective fixing members mounted to the two lateral uprights of the conveyor transversely relative to the conveying direction, the fixing members including first notches on an interior portion thereof,

said support including:

a hollow cylindrical tube into which are inserted the detectors, the tube being provided with a number of orifices distributed along a length of the tube, each detector positioned through one of the orifices of the tube, and

end pieces at each of the ends of the support, the end pieces including second notches that are angularly spaced and correspond to the first notches of the fixing members, the first and second notches fixing the support to the uprights at a plurality of orientations to fix the detectors about a longitudinal axis of the support.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a printed circuit inserted into the tube and on which the detectors are assembled.

3. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a microcontroller assembled on the printed circuit and to which the detectors are connected.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the end pieces include a length adjustment system to adapt a length of the device to a distance separating two lateral uprights of the conveyor, the length adjustment system including a spring within the at least one end piece the bears against a movable piston.

5. The device according to any of one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein each detector is of a photoelectric type.

6. The device according to any one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein each detector is of an ultrasound type.

7. A conveying system comprising:

a conveyor provided with a number of conveying rollers arranged between two lateral uprights to convey goods in a conveying direction, the conveyor including:

a detection device positioned in a conveyor that includes conveying rollers arranged between the two lateral uprights to convey the goods in the conveying direction, the detection device comprising:

an elongate support extending along a longitudinal axis, said support supporting a number of detectors distributed along length longitudinal axis to detect the goods conveyed by the conveyor,

said support positioned between two conveying rollers in a plane lower than a conveying surface formed by the rollers and ends of the support are fixed to respective fixing members mounted to the two lateral uprights of the conveyor transversely relative to the conveying direction, the fixing members including first notches on an interior portion thereof,

said support including:

a hollow cylindrical tube into which are inserted the detectors, the tube being provided with a number of orifices distributed along a length of the tube, each detector positioned through one of the orifices of the tube, and

end pieces at each of the ends of the support, the end pieces including second notches that are angularly spaced and correspond to the first notches of the fixing members, the first and second notches fixing the support to the uprights at a plurality of orientations to fix the detectors about a longitudinal axis of the support.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the means for fixing includes end-pieces at the respective ends of the support and fixing members mounted on each of the two lateral uprights, the respective end-pieces configured to be positioned in the respective fixing members.
