After the annular cavity assembly is installed in the PRV (pressure vessel), the short straight tube is assembled with the annular cavity assembly, inserted into the PRV nozzle, and docked with the elbow. The single-side gap is very small during docking, so the stability, orientation and horizontality of the short casing during assembly are required to be high.

[0003] The traditional method is to first hoist a small roller frame into the inner platform of the cylinder, place an adjustable shim under the roller frame, and then hoist the short sleeve onto the roller frame. Then, by adjusting the adjustable shim and rotating the roller frame, align the assembly position, screw in the guide rod, and finally manually push the short sleeve along the guide rod to the assembly position. However, this method uses the guide rod to achieve assembly after alignment, which is easy to scratch the parts. When on the roller frame, the position of the short sleeve needs to be repeatedly adjusted to align with the assembly position. Due to the high requirements for the assembly position, adjustment is difficult, and pushing the short sleeve is time-consuming and laborious. Summary of the invention
