In general, beverages such as bottled water, various beverages, and liquor are stored in glass bottles or PET bottles and distributed on the market. At this time, beverage bottling apparatuses are being applied to store drinks in beverage containers such as glass bottles and PET bottles.

Such a conventional apparatus for injecting a beverage supplies a beverage supplied from a beverage supply tank to a beverage container conveyed by a conveyor belt or the like through a device such as a nozzle and controls the amount of the beverage supplied through the control unit And the like.

In other words, a conventional beverage supply device for supplying a fixed amount of beverage is configured to sense the amount of beverage discharged using a flow rate sensor and to control the opening and closing of the valve.

At this time, the flow sensor is usually installed between the valve and the nozzle to accurately detect the discharged beverage amount.

When a sensor is installed between the valve and the nozzle, a remaining amount of beverage is always left on the path from the valve to the nozzle. The remaining amount of the beverage is not discharged through the nozzle unless pressure is applied. Therefore, no separate safety means for the remaining beverage is provided.

However, in the conventional beverage supply device as described above, since the valve operates in the direction of pushing the beverage in the process of closing the valve by sensing the flow sensor, there is a problem that a small amount of beverage is always pushed out.

In other words, a conventional beverage dispensing device has a problem that a flow amount sensor is provided between a valve and a nozzle, and a remaining amount of beverage remains on the path from the valve to the nozzle.

In addition, the remaining amount of beverage remaining in the path between the valve and the nozzle operates in a direction in which the valve pushes the beverage in the process of closing the valve, so that the remaining beverage is pushed out further toward the beverage container. It is difficult to supply the beverage of the present invention.

Therefore, there is a need for a research and development of a beverage dispensing device capable of stably supplying a certain amount of beverage in a beverage container by preventing the remaining amount of beverage from occurring between the valve and the nozzle after shutting off the valve.
