The device of the invention has simple structure, convenient use, safety and reliability, and is provided with a hanging unit 100 and a setting unit 200. The suspension unit 100 adopts the suspension pin 3 with a prismatic structure, can be quickly suspended and unhooked, can ensure the stability of the annular sealing assembly 17 suspended on the running device, solves the problem that the annular sealing assembly 17 is difficult to align with the center of a wellhead in the running process, and enables the annular sealing assembly 17 to be conveniently and quickly put in place; the setting unit 200 can fully set the annular sealing assembly 17 with 1700psi pressure, greatly improving the working efficiency and reducing the energy consumption.
The principles and embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to specific examples, which are provided to facilitate understanding of the method and core ideas of the present invention; also, it is within the scope of the present invention to be modified by those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present teachings. In view of the foregoing, this description should not be construed as limiting the invention.
