When the second pulling member 55 is pre-tightened, the second input bevel gear 30 will change in phase and move closer to the output bevel gear 40, thereby eliminating the transmission gap between the two.

The two ends of the second pulling member 55 are respectively a second fixed end 551 and a second position-adjustable end 552. When the second pulling member 55 is wound around the second capstan 52 and the third capstan 53, the second position-adjustable end 552 of the second pulling member 55 is first passed from the side of the third capstan 53 away from the winding portion through a fourth through-hole 532 on the third capstan 53 to the winding portion side of the third capstan 53. Then, the second pulling member 55 is wound around the second capstan 52 for at least one turn. When wound around the second capstan 52, the second pulling member 55 sequentially passes through the two second through-holes 521 on the second capstan 52, so that the second pulling member 55 The part is located on the side of the second capstan 52 away from the winding part to prevent the second pulling member 55 from detaching from the second capstan 52, and then the second pulling member 55 is wound around the third capstan 53 for at least one circle, and finally the second position adjustable end 552 of the second pulling member 55 passes through the other fourth through hole 532 on the third capstan 53 from the winding part side of the third capstan 53 to the side away from the winding part. After the winding of the second pulling member 55 is completed, its second fixed end 551 is limited to the side of the third capstan 53 away from the winding part, and its second position adjustable end 552 is adjustably connected to the side of the third capstan 53 away from the winding part.
