Each reel is a conical cylinder whose diameter gradually decreases from one end to the other end. Each base forms a first cord guide on a position corresponding to a great diameter end of the reel. One end of the cord is fixed to a small diameter end of the reel, while the other end of the cord is led out from the great diameter end after being wound along the reel and extends to be connected to a blind body after extending about the first cord guide. The reels of the two mechanisms are arranged in parallel in an axial direction, with the great diameter ends facing opposite to each other, or are arranged in parallel in the axial direction and are misaligned. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A blind driving device, comprising: two cord winding and unwinding mechanisms connected to different parts of a blind body of a blind to drive the activity of the blind body, wherein each cord winding and unwinding mechanism comprises bases, reels respectively rotatably mounted to the bases, cords each with one end being wound on a corresponding reel and the other end extending through a corresponding base and extending down to connect the blind body, and a power component for driving the reels to rotate; the cords of the two cord winding and unwinding mechanisms are connected to the different parts of the blind body; wherein each reel is a conical cylinder whose diameter gradually decreases from one end to the other end, each base forms a first cord guide on a position corresponding to a great diameter end of a corresponding reel; one end of a corresponding cord is fixed to a small diameter end of the reel, while the other end of the cord is led out from the great diameter end of the reel after being wound along the reel, and then extends down to be connected to the blind body after extending about the first cord guide; wherein the reels of the two cord winding and unwinding mechanisms are arranged in parallel in an axial direction, with the great diameter ends facing opposite to each other, or are arranged in parallel in the axial direction and are misaligned. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The blind driving device of claim 1, wherein each cord winding and unwinding mechanism comprises at least two axial reels set at a predetermined distance in the axial direction, and at least two bases for rotatably mounting the at least two reels, respectively. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The blind driving device of claim 2, wherein each cord winding and unwinding mechanism further comprises a transmission shaft connecting the power component and the corresponding reels, the transmission shaft coaxially extends through centers of the corresponding reels and is relatively fixed to the reels in a circumferential direction. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The blind driving device of claim 1, wherein each base comprises a bottom plate and two supporting plates extending from two opposite ends of the bottom plate, the bottom plate defines a cord guiding hole in a position corresponding to a middle or the small diameter end of a corresponding reel, each supporting plate defines a rotation hole, for a corresponding end of the reel to be rotatably engaged in. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The blind driving device of claim 4, wherein a plurality of snapping arms extends up from opposite sides of the bottom plate, to be snapped and positioned by an upper beam of the blind. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The blind driving device of claim 5, wherein the plurality of snapping arms is formed at opposite ends of each side of the bottom plate, lower portions of the supporting plates are integrally connected to lower portions of corresponding snapping arms, while upper portions of the supporting plates are separated from upper portions of the corresponding snapping arms. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The blind driving device of claim 4, wherein the first cord guide is a round rod fixed on the bottom plate. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The blind driving device of claim 4, wherein the bottom plate defines a through hole in a positioning corresponding to the great diameter end of the reel, the first cord guide is mounted at an opening of a bottom end of the through hole;
