It is necessary to introduce the pressure in the filling tank into the bottle, to make the inside of the filling tank and the inside of the bottle the same pressure, and to fill under the same pressure. Therefore, the conventional filling machine for carbonated beverages has a structure in which the bottle mouth is brought into close contact with the filling head so that the pressurized gas during filling does not leak outside, and the filling nozzle is located inside the bottle. Thus, the liquid discharged into the bottle comes into contact with the nozzle. Further, the discharge valve has a valve stem integrated with the valve body protruding from the liquid passage tube to the outside, and is driven by an opening / closing lever or an opening / closing cam provided outside.

酸飲料の無菌充填はできなかった。Recently, in the production of bottles and cans, in order to prevent deterioration of taste due to heat sterilization, an aseptic filling method which does not require heat treatment has been adopted. However, conventionally, carbonated beverages are said to be unable to be aseptically filled for the following reasons, and the aseptic filling method of carbonated beverages has not been adopted yet. That is, as described above, in the conventional carbonated beverage filling apparatus, the bottle mouth is in close contact with the filling head during filling to pressurize the inside of the bottle, and the filling nozzle is immersed in the carbonated beverage filled in the bottle. Therefore, the filling nozzle is exposed to the outside with the liquid adhered to its outer peripheral portion until the next bottle is mounted after the filling is completed, and the liquid is repeatedly inserted into the bottle and brought into contact with the liquid. There was a problem that was contaminated. Further, not only the contamination by the filling nozzle, but also the contamination of the bottle mouth by the filling head and the contamination through the valve stem protruding outside, etc., the aseptic filling of the carbonated beverage could not be performed conventionally.

When air is supplied to the tank, the depressurizing valve 17 is closed and the pressure guiding valve 16 is opened, so that carbon dioxide gas in the head space of the filling tank is introduced into the filling chamber 6, and the inside of the bottle is also supplied through the filling chamber 6. Carbon dioxide gas is supplied,
Bottle inner pressure is equal to the pressure P 1 of the head space.
Therefore, when the filling valve 7 is opened in this state, the carbonated beverage in the filling tank 1 flows down from the filling nozzle by gravity, flows into the bottle mouth through the carbon dioxide atmosphere in the filling chamber, and flows into the bottle. Filling is performed.

The liquid level sensor 22 detects the liquid level, and based on the detection signal, air is supplied to the upper port of the cylinder 13 of the filling valve 7 and the magnet 10 descends. As a result, the valve body 9 descends and sits on the valve seat 8 to close the valve port, thereby preventing the carbonated beverage from flowing down. At the same time, the pressure guiding valve 16 is closed to prevent the carbon dioxide gas from flowing into the filling chamber 6, while the depressurizing valve 17 is operated to make the filling chamber conductive to the atmosphere, and the carbon dioxide gas in the filling chamber to the atmosphere. Let go. Thereby, the headspace of the bottle is at the same pressure as the atmosphere. Next, the bottle filled with carbonated beverage by lowering the lifter is sent to the next capping step.
