L'invention concerne un dispositif de détection d'objets qui comprend : un capteur à ultrasons (10) qui est équipé d'un émetteur d'ondes (11) convertissant un signal électrique en une onde ultrasonore et qui détecte un objet au moyen de l'onde ultrasonore ; et un écran (20) qui protège l'émetteur d'ondes (11). L'émetteur d'ondes est muni sur sa face avant d'un orifice acoustique (111) permettant la transmission de l'onde ultrasonore. L'écran (20) comprend un masque en forme de plaque (21) qui couvre la face avant de l'émetteur d'ondes (11) et une ouverture (22) qui est ménagée sur le masque (21) pour la transmission de l'onde ultrasonore. L'ouverture (22) présente la forme d'un quadrilatère dont le côté longitudinal est d'une longueur différente de celle du côté latéral. La taille de l'ouverture (22) est inférieure à la dimension de l'orifice acoustique (111).
