in the first case, two sides of the long axis are respectively provided with N layers and N layers, wherein N is an even number, and two sides of the long axis are respectively provided with two layers of opposite curls;
in the second case, two sides of the long axis are respectively provided with N layers and N +1 layers, N is an even number, two sides of the long axis are oppositely folded, and the remaining layer at the top of one side is folded in a zigzag manner across the long axis;
in the third situation, the two sides of the long axis are respectively provided with M layers and M layers, wherein M is an odd number, each two layers are oppositely folded at the two sides of the long axis, and the remaining layer at the top of each side is folded downwards;
in the fourth situation, two sides of the long axis are respectively an M layer and an M +1 layer, wherein M is an odd number, each two layers on one side of the M layer are oppositely folded, and the rest layer on the top is folded downwards; each two layers of the M +1 layer except the uppermost two layers are oppositely folded, one layer at the lower side of the uppermost two layers is folded downwards, and the other layer at the upper side is folded in a zigzag shape across the long axis;
and fourthly, folding the saccule (1) which is folded in the short axis direction to reach the target length in a zigzag manner along the long axis direction to enable the saccule to reach the target length in the long axis direction.
2. A method of multidirectional folding of a cuboid of flexible film inflatable balloons according to claim 1, characterized in that the zigzag folding is performed with an aid comprising a U-shaped frame (3) and two positioning bars, the length of which is greater than the total width of the two uprights of the U-shaped frame (3), the end of the balloon (1) that undergoes the zigzag folding that is distant from the air tap (2) is placed in the U-shaped frame (3), the balloon (1) is pressed by means of the first positioning bar (3-1) against the U-shaped frame (3) on the side of the U-shaped frame (3) that is close to the air tap (2), the balloon (1) on the side of the first positioning bar (3-1) that is distant from the U-shaped frame (3) is then folded and the bend is inserted from between the two uprights to the other side of the U-shaped frame (3), and the second positioning bar (3-2) is inserted on the other side of the U-shaped frame (3) inside the bend, the free end of the balloon (1) is pulled again to enable a second positioning bolt rod (3-2) to press the balloon (1) by means of the U-shaped frame (3) to complete a zigzag folding cycle; and then the first positioning latch rod (3-1) is pulled out and presses a part of the saccule (1) above the first positioning latch rod, and the next cycle of zigzag folding is carried out until the step of zigzag folding the saccule (1) along the long axis direction is completed.
