The sliding shaft is connected with the fixing block. The moving block is arranged on the sliding shaft. The moving block is connected with the connecting block. The connecting block is connected with a plurality of waste liquid boxes. The fixing block is used for fixing the waste liquid collecting assembly in the liquid injection cavity. When the waste liquid collecting assembly works, the displacement assembly IV drives the moving block to slide on the sliding shaft. The moving block drives the connecting block to move. The connecting block drives the waste liquid box to move to collect the electrolyte dropped by the liquid injection needle. The carrying assembly comprises a sliding carrying platform and a displacement assembly III. The displacement assembly III is arranged on the sliding carrying platform. The displacement assembly III is connected with the cavity cover plate. The carrying assembly is used for carrying the cavity cover plate to move above the electrolyte recycling assembly. The electrolyte recycling assembly comprises a displacement assembly IV and a liquid receiving device. The displacement assembly I, the displacement assembly II, the displacement assembly III and the displacement assembly IV are air cylinders. The liquid injection needle assembly further comprises a fixing plate, a reinforcing rib, a guide rail sliding block, a sealing ring and a sealing ring. The liquid injection needle and the displacement assembly I are arranged on the guide rail sliding block. The guide rail sliding block is arranged on the fixing plate. The fixing plate is connected with the reinforcing rib. The fixing plate and the reinforcing rib are arranged on the cavity cover plate. The liquid injection cavity is also provided with a clamping assembly. The air pipe is arranged on the cavity side wall. When the clamping assembly fixes the cavity cover plate on the cavity side wall, the carrying assembly can carry the whole liquid injection cavity. When the clamping assembly does not fix the cavity cover plate on the cavity side wall, the carrying assembly carries the cavity cover plate and the liquid injection needle assembly. The middle part of the cavity side wall is provided with a transparent PC plate. Sealing strips or sealing rings are arranged between the cavity side walls. The carrying assembly further comprises a fixing plate, a mounting plate, a guide rail, a screw rod module and a servo motor. The mounting plate is connected with the fixing plate. The screw rod module and the servo motor are arranged on the mounting plate. The servo motor is connected with the screw rod module. The guide rail is arranged on the fixing plate. The sliding carrying platform is arranged on the guide rail. The sliding carrying platform is connected with the screw rod module.

7. The lithium battery liquid injection mechanism according to claim 6, wherein: The carrying assembly further comprises a guide shaft support, a cylinder floating joint, a guide column, a foot base and a stabilizing cylinder; the third displacement assembly is connected with the cylinder floating joint; the third displacement assembly is connected with the cavity cover plate through the cylinder floating joint; the guide column is installed on the sliding carrying platform, the guide shaft support is installed on the cavity cover plate, and the guide column is connected with the guide shaft support; the foot base is installed on the fixed plate; the stabilizing cylinder is connected with the fixed plate; the horizontal height of the sliding carrying platform is between the horizontal height of the stabilizing cylinder and the horizontal height of the fixed plate.

8. The lithium battery liquid injection mechanism according to claim 1, wherein: The liquid receiving device comprises a liquid receiving seat, a buffer kettle and a fool-proof assembly; the liquid receiving seat is connected with the fourth displacement assembly.

9. The lithium battery liquid injection mechanism according to claim 8, wherein: The electrolyte recovery assembly further comprises a guide column, a diaphragm valve, a filter funnel and a base; the guide column is connected with the liquid receiving device; the diaphragm valve is connected with the buffer kettle; the filter funnel is installed at the lower part of the base.
