9. A cardiovascular stent cleaning device according to claim 8, characterized in that: The power structure includes a first gear, which is arranged on a rotating shaft. A second gear is rotatably arranged at the bottom end of the guide plate. A gear ring is arranged at the bottom of the rotating seat. The first gear is meshed with the gear ring through the second gear. The rotating seat and the base are rotatably connected through a bearing.

10. A cleaning method for a cardiovascular stent cleaning device according to claim 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. Add water to the water tank and pour the bracket into the water tank; S2, start the second motor, turn on the ultrasonic head, the second motor drives the installation shaft to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft, and the installation shaft drives the ultrasonic head to rotate through the stirring rod; during the rotation of the installation shaft, the installation shaft rotates along the guide groove in the fixed cylinder, and moves up and down under the action of the guide groove, and the ultrasonic head performs ultrasonic cleaning on the bracket in the water tank during the rotation and up and down movement; S3. After ultrasonic cleaning is completed, open the valve on the drain pipe to drain the water in the water tank; S4, start the first motor, the first motor drives the transmission plate to rotate through the driving gear and teeth, the transmission plate drives the sealing plate to slide along the avoidance groove through the transmission hole and the fixing pin, the sealing plate opens the discharge port, the bracket is discharged into the guide plate through the discharge port, the water attached to the bracket enters the space between the partition plate and the guide plate through the water leakage hole, and the bracket falls on the top of the rotating seat through the guide plate; S5. The second motor drives the rotating seat to rotate through the first gear and the second gear. The rotating seat sends the bracket onto the spiral blade during the rotation process, and the bracket moves along the spiral blade; the hot air enters the guide plate through the air inlet, and the rotating shaft drives the blades to rotate. The blades send the hot air into the spiral blade through the air vents and the air outlet holes to dry the bracket; the dried bracket is discharged between the base and the protective cover.
