Then, the beverage container with the filling completed is transferred to the subsequent process through the discharge alignment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawings attached to this specification clearly show some of the technical ideas included in the present invention, and modifications that can be easily inferred by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical ideas included in the specification and drawings of the present invention. It is obvious that both and specific embodiments are included in the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

Due to the configuration as described above, according to the beverage injection device according to the present invention, the injection device having a plurality of injection nozzles are installed in a rotational manner, the device itself without the need to drive each injection nozzle up / down individually The beverage can be automatically supplied according to the rotation of, and the beverage can be injected more efficiently by rotating the infusion device at high speed.

Since the injection of the drink is completed by the natural pressure filling method, it is possible to reliably inject a certain amount even without a separate sensor without causing the drink to be excessively infused and the drink to overflow the outside of the drink container.

In addition, even if the injection device is configured in a rotational manner, while the supply pipe for supplying the beverage from the beverage storage tank to the injection device can be stably supplied with the beverage from the fixed beverage storage tank without disturbing the rotation of the injection device, The beverage can be stably injected into the beverage container from the beverage injection tank connected to the rotating main shaft.

In addition, by detecting a certain level of the injection tank disposed in the beverage injection device can maintain the inside of the injection tank to the appropriate level.
