[0015] As shown in Figures 5-9 , the necking punch assembly contains the punch 12, the lower ejector pin 13, the guide screw 14, the cylindrical helical compression spring 15 and the upper ejector rod 16. The upper end of the punch 12 can be clamped on the bench drill, the lower end of the punch 12 is processed with a necking forming guide groove, the guide screw 14 is assembled on the punch 12 through the threaded hole on the punch 12. The upper ejector rod 16, the cylindrical helical compression spring 15 and the lower ejector pin 13 are assembled in the inner hole of the punch 12 and can move up and down, wherein the lower ejector pin 13 is processed with an axial guide groove, by screwing in the guide screw 14, the head of the guide screw 14 enters the guide groove and forms a clearance fit with the guide groove, the guide screw 14 prevents the upper ejector rod 16, the cylindrical helical compression spring 15 and the lower ejector pin 13 assembled in the inner hole of the punch 12 from falling out of the inner hole of the punch 12, while ensuring the flexible movement of the upper ejector rod 16, the cylindrical helical compression spring 15 and the lower ejector pin 13 in the inner hole of the punch 12. The elastic force of the cylindrical helical compression spring 15 assembled in the inner hole of the punch 12 is greater than Figure 1 the elastic force of the spring 4.
[0016] When the forward valve shown in Figure 1 is necked, the necking method includes the following steps: Step 1: According to Figure 6 , the forward valve is positioned in the stepped hole (positioning groove) on the upper end surface of the base 11.
[0017] Step 2: According to Figure 7 , the upper end of the punch 12 in the necking punch assembly is clamped on the drill chuck of the ordinary bench drill, the bench drill is manually operated to move the punch 12 downward, and the head of the lower ejector pin 13 in the inner hole of the punch 12 is aligned with the inner hole of the spring seat 6 in the forward valve.
[0018] Step 3: According to Figure 8, continue operating the bench drill to move the punch 12 downward and apply downward pressure on the punch 12, and the closed-die forming guide groove at the lower end of the punch 12 extrudes the upper end thin wall part of the valve body 1 towards the center of the valve body 1 to form a closed die, thereby fixing the spring seat 6 in the stepped hole at the upper end of the valve body 1.
[0019] In this step, the key to the closed-die forming guide groove at the lower end of the punch 12 to extrude the upper end of the valve body 1 is that the spring force of the cylindrical helical compression spring 15 installed in the inner hole of the punch 12 is greater than Figure 1 The spring force of the spring 4 in the forward valve, so during the process of moving the punch 12 downward by operating the bench drill, the lower ejector pin 13 installed in the inner hole of the punch 12 can push Figure 8 The spring seat 6 is pushed into the stepped hole at the upper end of the valve body 1, and the spring force of the cylindrical helical compression spring 15 continuously acts on the spring seat 6 through the lower ejector pin 13 to keep the position of the spring seat 6 unchanged, and during the process of continuously moving the punch 12 downward, the downward pressure on the punch 12 is applied by operating the bench drill, and the extrusion of the upper end thin wall part of the valve body 1 is completed, and during this process, the related parts will not be damaged.
[0020] Step 4: according to Figure 9 , the punch 12 is moved upward by operating the bench drill, and the forward valve is removed from the stepped hole of the base 11, and thus the closed-die forming work of the forward valve is completed.
[0021] The advantages of the present application are: by combining the structural features of the forward valve for the centrifugal booster pump, the closed-die forming tool for the forward valve is reasonably designed, the punch 12 is clamped on the drill chuck of the bench drill, and one operator can easily complete the closed-die forming work of the forward valve, there is no safety problem during the closed-die forming process, there is no problem of pressing and scratching the surface of the forward valve parts, the closed-die forming work of the forward valve is time-saving and labor-saving, and it is convenient and fast.

The general principles defined in the present application can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the scope. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the structure shown in the specific embodiments, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and characteristics set forth in the claims of the present application.
