Especially in the field of packaging, too high a density results in too heavy a packaged product, increasing transportation costs and creating excessive packaging. It is therefore necessary to foam polylactic acid to reduce the density of the polylactic acid product. The existing extrusion foaming molding technology appears in the market, but because a fixed-form foaming material is generally obtained, a non-fixed-form foaming material which can be immediately used for molding a product cannot be obtained, and more troubles can be brought to the subsequent molding of the foaming product.

Furthermore, the density of the glass beads is 0.4-0.8 g/cm3
Further, the filling amount of the foaming agent in the polylactic acid foaming material is more than 50 wt%.
A discharging port for discharging the polylactic acid foaming material is formed in the bottom of a mixer of the polylactic acid foaming material preparation device, and a mold for molding a required product is arranged at the discharging end of the discharging port.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1) melting polylactic acid resin material into high-fluidity melt, quickly adding foaming agent when the melt is sprayed into a mixer through a spray head, spraying the melt onto the foaming agent, and simultaneously, enabling the stirring blades to run at high speed to further quickly and uniformly mix the melt and the foaming agent to obtain the low-density polylactic acid foaming material;
2) the discharging port of the mixer is provided with a foaming product forming mold, so that the polylactic acid foaming material can be subjected to compression molding in time, the process is simple, convenient and quick, other processes are not needed, and when a special-shaped foaming product needs to be prepared, the special-shaped forming mold with the mold transposition requirement is only needed.
