The present invention is not limited to the mixing of beer and nitrogen, and can be used for the mixing and filling of any liquid and gas.
[0028] Specifically, the serpentine tube has a serpentine structure of pipe bending and twisting, which causes the gas and liquid to generate rotation and vortex in the pipe. This flow pattern helps to improve the mixing effect of beer and gas.

After the gas and liquid pass through the serpentine tube, the mixing effect between the gas and liquid is greatly improved, which solves the problem of low gas-liquid mixing efficiency between beer and nitrogen caused by the inability of existing pipelines for mixing and transporting beer and nitrogen to fully mix nitrogen and beer.
[0029] In addition, the provision of the exhaust port and the sealing cover is conducive to cleaning foreign matter in the serpentine pipe and avoiding pipe blockage.
[0030] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
