A four-wheel steering central transmission device includes an input shaft extending through a front wall of a housing and having an input rotary disc formed with a first slide groove. A turning output unit includes an output shaft extending through a rear wall of the housing and having an output rotary disc formed with a second slide groove. A transmission unit disposed between the input and output shafts includes a hollow adjustment block disposed adjustably within the housing and movable leftward or rightward, and a transmission member movable within the adjustment block and having slide pieces inserted respectively and slidably into the first and second slide grooves.

1. A central transmission device of a four-wheel steering system, comprising: a housing having front and rear walls;a turning input unit including an input shaft that extends rotatably through said front wall and that has a front end adapted for connection with a front wheel turning mechanism, and an input rotary disc disposed at a rear end of said input shaft within said housing, said input rotary disc having a rear end face formed with a first slide groove extending diametrically;a turning output unit including an output shaft that extends rotatably through said rear wall and that has a rear end adapted for connection with a rear wheel turning mechanism, and an output rotary disc disposed at a front end of said output shaft within said housing and having a front end face formed with a second slide groove extending diametrically; anda transmission unit disposed between said input and output rotary discs, and including a hollow adjustment block that is disposed movably within said housing to move leftwards or rightwards, and a transmission member that has a moving body movable within and relative to said hollow adjustment block, and two slide pieces projecting oppositely from said moving body and inserted respectively into said first and second slide grooves, each of said slide pieces being slidable along a respective one of said first and second slide grooves,wherein, when said hollow adjustment block is moved and adjusted in position within said housing, each of said slide pieces can be set at a predetermined position within the respective one of said first and second slide grooves to vary a relationship between turning angles of said input and output shafts,wherein said hollow adjustment block has front and rear sides respectively facing said input and output rotary discs, and a receiving space that opens at said front and rear sides, said moving body being movable in said receiving space, said slide pieces being in line with each other and parallel to said input and output shafts, andwherein said receiving space extends curvedly in a top-bottom direction, said moving body being formed as a cylindrical rod extending through said receiving space, said moving body moving upward and downward along said receiving space, two opposite ends of said cylindrical rod being formed as said slide pieces, respectively. 2. The central transmission device of claim 1, wherein said housing further has a sidewall interconnecting said front and rear walls, said transmission unit further including an adjuster rod extending rotatably through said sidewall and having an inner end engaging threadedly said hollow adjustment block, said hollow adjustment block being moved when said adjuster rod is rotated. 3. The central transmission device of claim 1, wherein said input shaft and said input rotary disc are coaxial, said output shaft and said output rotary disc are coaxial, and said input and output shafts extend along parallel lines. 4. The central transmission device of claim 3, wherein said turning input unit further includes a first bearing disposed between said front wall and said input shaft, a second bearing disposed between said front wall and said input rotary disc, and a clamp ring disposed between said front wall and said input rotary disc in abutment with said second bearing. 5. The central transmission device of claim 4, wherein said turning output unit further includes a third bearing disposed between said rear wall and said output shaft, and a fourth bearing disposed between said rear wall and said output rotary disc. 6. The central transmission device of claim 3, wherein said transmission unit further includes two fifth bearings, each of which is disposed around a respective one of said slide pieces within a respective one of said first and second slide grooves. 7. The central transmission device of claim 1, wherein said second slide groove has an inner end located substantially at a center of said output rotary disc, and an outer end extending to a circumference of said output rotary disc. 8. The central transmission device of claim 7, wherein said first slide groove has two opposite ends extending to a circumference of said input rotary disc.
