The end of the tooling connecting rod 1 has a plurality of through holes 1.1 in a linear array along its length direction. The annular track simulation plate 2 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 2.1. The bolt and nut group passes through the through hole 1.1 and the waist-shaped hole 2.1. The position of the annular track simulation plate 2 is adjusted by setting a plurality of through holes 1.1 and the waist-shaped hole 2.1. The size of the annular track simulation plate 2 is adaptively adjusted to ensure that the center of the circle where the annular track simulation plate 2 is located is located at the rotation center of the annular crane.
[0042] Example 3 is different from Example 1 in that two tooling support frames 1.2 are provided at the lower part of the tooling connecting rod 1 to support and elevate the tooling connecting rod 1; the annular track simulation plate 2 is an arc-shaped plate having an angular mounting portion, and the angular mounting portion is provided with a waist-shaped hole 2.1.

A key plate 6 and an adjustment gasket 3 are provided between the connection part of the bearing seat 5 and the end beam bent plate of the ring bridge.
