[0009] Furthermore, the feed pipe is equipped with a feed pump, a feed valve, and a flow meter in sequence according to the feeding direction.
[0010] Furthermore, the reaction tank is divided into multiple reaction chambers connected in sequence by an overflow plate structure. The first reaction chamber is equipped with a feed guide pipe that extends straight to the bottom of the chamber, and the upper part of the last reaction chamber is equipped with a discharge port connected to the discharge system. The first and last reaction chambers are located according to the direction of liquid flow during continuous reaction. The one located at the first feed end is the first reaction chamber, and the one located at the last feed end, i.e., the discharge end of the reaction tank, is the last reaction chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, in addition to the feed pipes connected to each reaction chamber being equipped with inlet valves, the feed system is also equipped with separate feed valves on the feed pipes connecting to the reaction chambers after the first reaction chamber.
[0012] Furthermore, the overflow plate structure includes a bottom plate disposed at the bottom of the reaction vessel and a top plate disposed at the top of the reaction vessel, with an overflow cavity between the bottom plate and the top plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an independent / continuous reaction device for plant protein liquid includes a feeding system, a reaction tank 4, and a discharge system;
[0022] The feeding system includes a feeding pump 1, a feeding valve 2, and a flow meter 3 installed on the feeding pipe 7;
[0023] The reaction vessel 4 is internally equipped with an overflow plate structure, which divides the reaction vessel 4 into multiple sequentially connected reaction chambers, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the reaction tank 4 is divided into four reaction chambers by an overflow plate structure. Each reaction chamber is connected to the feeding system through a feed pipe 7, and each feed pipe 7 connected to each reaction chamber is equipped with a tank inlet valve 5. Each reaction chamber is equipped with a level gauge 13, and each reaction chamber is equipped with a tank bottom valve 14 at the bottom. The reaction tank 4 is insulated as a whole.
[0024] The discharge system includes a discharge valve and a discharge pump 18 installed on the discharge pipe 17, and the discharge system is connected to the tank bottom valve 14 through the discharge pipe 17.
[0025] Furthermore, the feed pipe 7 is provided with a feed pump 1, a feed valve 2 and a flow meter 3 in sequence according to the feeding direction.
[0026] Furthermore, the reaction tank 4 is divided into multiple sequentially connected reaction chambers by an overflow plate structure. The first reaction chamber is equipped with a feed guide pipe 8 that extends straight to the bottom of the chamber, allowing feed to be fed from the bottom of the tank. The upper part of the last reaction chamber is equipped with a discharge port connected to the discharge system, allowing feed to be discharged from either the top side of the tank or the bottom of the tank. The first and last reaction chambers are located according to the direction of liquid flow during continuous reaction. The first feed end is the first reaction chamber, and the last feed end, i.e., the discharge end of the reaction tank 4, is the last reaction chamber.
[0027] Furthermore, in addition to the feed pipe 7 connected to each reaction chamber being equipped with a tank inlet valve 5, the feed system is also equipped with a separate control feed valve 62 on the feed pipe 7 connected to the reaction chamber after the first reaction chamber; the reaction chamber after the first reaction chamber refers to the other reaction chambers besides the first reaction chamber.
[0028] Furthermore, the overflow plate structure includes a bottom plate 10 disposed at the bottom of the reaction tank 4 and a top plate 11 disposed at the top of the reaction tank 4, with an overflow cavity 12 between the bottom plate 10 and the top plate 11.
[0029] Furthermore, the height of the bottom plate 10 and the top plate 11 is 85% of the total height of the tank, which can realize the first-in-first-out and bottom-in-top overflow effect of materials; the overflow plate structure composed of the bottom plate 10, the top plate 11 and the overflow cavity 12, together with the feed guide pipe 8, can realize that multiple reaction chambers connected in sequence can all be fed from the bottom and discharged from the top when they are in continuous reaction, which helps to improve the integrity of the liquid participating in the reaction.
[0030] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned reaction chambers is equipped with a stirring system; the stirring system includes a stirring impeller 9 disposed within the reaction chamber, and a drive motor disposed at the upper part of the reaction chamber, located outside the reaction tank 4 and connected to the stirring impeller 9.
[0031] Furthermore, the discharge pump 18 is located at the rear of the discharge valve, the rear being the rear part in the direction of liquid flow. The discharge valve includes an independent reaction discharge valve 15 and a continuous reaction discharge valve 16. The independent reaction discharge valve 15 is connected to each tank bottom valve 14, and the continuous reaction discharge valve 16 is located on the discharge pipe 17 connected to the discharge port.
[0032] This device can be used for independent reactions when the reaction parameters of the plant protein solution are different:
[0033] (1) The plant protein liquid with pre-adjusted pH, temperature, concentration and other parameters is fed into the reaction tank 4 through the feed pump 1. The feed valve 5 of each reaction chamber is operated independently to achieve independent feeding of each reaction zone, i.e. each reaction chamber. When feeding, pay attention to the height of the liquid level gauge 13, which shall not exceed 80% of the liquid level height of the tank (the height of the bottom plate 10 of the overflow plate structure is 85% of the total height of the tank).
[0034] (2) After the reaction is completed, open the bottom valve 14 of the tank independently, open the independent reaction discharge valve 15, keep the continuous reaction discharge valve 16 closed, and open the discharge pump 18 so that each reaction chamber can discharge independently.
[0035] When the reaction parameters of the plant protein slurry are the same, this device can be used for continuous reactions:
[0036] (1) The plant protein liquid, with its pH value, temperature, concentration, and other parameters pre-adjusted, enters the reaction tank 4 through the feed pump 1. The feed valve 2 and the inlet valve 5 of the first reaction chamber are opened. The sub-control feed valve 6, the bottom valve 14, and the independent reaction discharge valve 15 are closed. The continuous reaction discharge valve 16 is opened. The material enters the bottom of the tank through the feed guide pipe 8 and overflows to each reaction chamber through the overflow plate structure. The material overflows from the side above the fourth reaction chamber of the reaction tank 4, realizing the first-in-first-out principle of the material.
[0037] (2) By controlling the opening degree of the feed valve 2, the flow rate of the flow meter 3 can be controlled. The material in the reaction tank 4 is first-in-first-out. The volume of the reaction tank 4 is fixed. By controlling the flow rate, the reaction time can be controlled.
