[0009] The covering mechanism is installed between the two axles above the rear wheels at the rear end of the frame, and is located at the lower end of the conveying belt in the seeding mechanism, the rear end of the furrowing mechanism, and the front end of the gasoline engine at the rear end of the frame; the mechanism comprises a lifting mechanism and a covering device, the covering device is installed at the lower end of the lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism uses a pulley as a sliding component and a scissor type connecting rod structure as a lifting component, and the lifting structure is provided with a gear shifting tab, the tab is divided into four gears, the height of the furrowing device and the covering device is divided into four levels to adapt to different planting requirements.

[0010] Further,

[0011] A limit switch is further arranged, the limit switch is connected with the steering mechanism, when the driving steering angle of the frame reaches the maximum angle, the steering is stopped to continue in the original direction, the steering mechanism is controlled to keep stable during steering, and the phenomenon that the planter has too large steering angle or even overturning is avoided.
