[0056] During trenching operations, the control module controls the trenching motor 22 to start, which drives the first sprocket 24 to rotate. The first sprocket 24 drives the second sprocket 25 to rotate via the transmission chain 26. The rotation of the second sprocket 25 drives the first lead screw 27 to rotate, which drives the sun gear 28 to rotate. The sun gear 28 drives the connecting rod 29 to rotate, which drives the trenching cutter 21 to perform trenching operations on the soil.
[0057] In some embodiments, the trenching cutter 21 is in the shape of a triangular pyramid to excavate a V-shaped trench.
[0058] In some embodiments, three grooving cutters 21 are spaced apart on the connecting rod 29, which can cut three grooves at a time.
[0059] In some embodiments, the trenching drive assembly includes a trenching motor 22, a sun gear 28, and a connecting rod 29. The output end of the trenching motor 22 is connected to the sun gear 28, and the connecting rod 29 is eccentrically connected to the sun gear 28. The trenching motor 22 drives the sun gear 28 to rotate, the sun gear 28 drives the connecting rod 29 to rotate, and the connecting rod 29 drives the trenching cutter 21 to perform trenching.

[0060] In some embodiments, the outlet pipe 32 is aligned with the trench, and the irrigation flow rate can be controlled by controlling the opening of the solenoid valve.
[0061] In some embodiments, the irrigation mechanism 3 further includes a water level sensor located inside the water tank 31 and electrically connected to the control module.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the lettuce planter also includes a self-priming gantry frame 6, which is located in the middle of the support platform 11. The self-priming gantry frame 6 includes a fixed frame 61, a sliding motor 62, a third lead screw 63, a slider 64, a first connecting rod 65, a second connecting rod 66, a water pipe fixing seat 67, and a water suction pipe. The fixed frame 61 is connected to the support platform 11, the sliding motor 62 is connected to the fixed frame 61, the output end of the sliding motor 62 is connected to the third lead screw 63, and the slider 64 is movably connected to the third lead screw 63. One end of a connecting rod 65 is movably connected to the slider 64, and the other end is movably connected to the water pipe fixing seat 67. One end of the second connecting rod 66 is movably connected to the fixing frame 61, and the other end is movably connected to the water pipe fixing seat 67. The first connecting rod 65 is located above the second connecting rod 66. The water suction pipe is connected to the water pipe fixing seat 67.

The water pump and the sliding motor 62 are electrically connected to the control module respectively.
[0063] After receiving a water replenishment signal, the control module controls the seeder to proceed to the reservoir for water replenishment. Once the seeder reaches the vicinity of the reservoir, the control module starts the sliding motor 62, which drives the third lead screw 63 to rotate. The rotation of the third lead screw 63 moves the slider 64, which in turn moves the first connecting rod 65. The movement of the first connecting rod 65 then moves the water pipe fixing seat 67. For example, when the slider 64 moves forward, the first connecting rod 65 lowers the water pipe fixing seat 67, allowing the suction pipe to enter the reservoir. The control module then starts the water pump to replenish the water tank 31. After water replenishment, the slider 64 moves backward, and the first connecting rod 65 raises the water pipe fixing seat to its original position. During this process, the second connecting rod 66 moves along with the water pipe fixing seat 67, and the first and second connecting rods together limit the travel of the water pipe fixing seat 67. When the water level in the water tank 31 drops to the preset level, the water level sensor sends a water replenishment signal to the control module, reminding it to replenish water. The control module then controls the seeder to move to the vicinity of the reservoir for water replenishment.

The sowing motor 43 drives the second lead screw 44 to rotate, the second lead screw 44 drives the first gear 45 to rotate, the first gear 45 drives the second gear 46 to rotate, and the second gear 46 drives the sowing disc 42 to rotate. During the rotation of the sowing disc 42, when the opening of the sowing disc 42 is aligned with the seed outlet hole of the sowing box 41, the seeds can fall into the groove. By controlling the speed of the sowing motor 43, the sowing amount can be controlled.
[0067] In some embodiments, the seeding drive assembly includes a seeding motor 43, which is fixed to the support platform 11. The output end of the seeding motor 43 is directly connected to the seeding disc 42. The seeding motor 43 can directly drive the seeding disc 42 to rotate.

[0070] As the seeder moves, the two covering discs 52 align with the soil piles on both sides of the furrow.

The angle between the two covering discs 52 can be 45°, 60°, 90°, or 120°, as long as it achieves the effect of gathering the soil piles into the furrow; there are no restrictions here.
