Conveyor arrangement with integrated sensor function unit

Conveying arrangement (1) for conveying a conveyed material, comprising

• a motor-operated conveying roller (100), comprising
• an axle element (16),
• a roller body (10) mounted rotatably about a roller axis (A),
• a drive unit (20) which is arranged within the roller body (10) and which is mechanically coupled to the roller body (10) and to the axle element (16) and which is designed to generate a torque between the axle element (16) and the roller body (10),
• a sensor function unit (40) which is arranged within the roller body (10) and which is designed to detect a conveyed material for conveying by means of the motor-operated conveying roller (100), and
• a control unit (30) arranged within the roller body (10);
• said control unit being connected, for the transmission of signals, to the sensor function unit (40), wherein the control unit (30) is designed to receive a sensor signal from the sensor function unit and to transmit a control signal to the drive unit (20) in a manner dependent on the sensor signal, wherein the control signal comprises data for the drive of the motor-operated conveying roller with a characteristic profile, which is predetermined by the control signal, in a conveying operating mode, wherein
• the drive unit (20) switches from the standby operating mode to the conveying operating mode if the sensor signal signals a change from a free space to an occupied space or from an occupied space to a free space in a conveying direction (F), and/or
• the drive unit (20) switches from the conveying operating mode to the standby operating mode if the sensor signal signals a change from a free space to an occupied space or from an occupied space to a free space in the conveying direction (F).
