The handle rod 45 of the handle 4 is provided with several first massaging protrusions 46. On the same side of the handle rod 45 on which the first electric cord hook 41 is arranged there is a second electric cord hook 42 provided. Threads 47 are provided at the tail portion of the handle rod 45, and engage with corresponding threads of the golf massage head 5.
On the golf massage head 5 there are provided several second massaging protrusions 51. A ball-shaped soft body 52 is provided on one side of the golf massage head 5, and the joint part between the soft ball-shaped body 52 and the golf massage head 5 is provided with a magnetic therapy cupping 53, which runs through the center of the golf massage head 5. A cover 54 is provided at the open end of the magnetic therapy cupping 53, and a massage ball 55 are provided on the cover 54.
On one side of the upper end of the golf massage head 5 there is a column structure 59, and at the top of the columnar structure 59 a hemispheric projection 591 is provided. Four massage rollers 55 are provided at the bottom end of the golf massage head 5, and third massaging protrusions 57 are provided on each of the massage rollers 55. The massage rollers 55 are fixed to the bottom end of the golf massage head 5 by respective roller holders 58.
On one side of the cleaner body 3 a short grip 32 for user holding is provided, while two vertically arranged actuation buttons 33 are provided on the other side of the cleaner body 3. The suction head 1 connected to the front end of the cleaner body 3 can be a floor brush 13, for example.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, a spring sheet 311 is provided in the sockets 31 of the invention. The spring sheet 311 is formed in an M-shaped structure, and on one side at the middle portion of the spring sheet 311 there is a concave notch 312 extending upwardly.
In use, the suction head 1 is inserted into the dust collection box 2 at the front end of the cleaner body 3, and then both ends of the head 43 of Y-shaped structure at the front end of the handle 4 are respectively buckled into the two sockets 31 at the rear end of the cleaner body 3. Subsequently, the golf massage head 5 is connected with the threads 43 at the rear of the handle 4 by thread connection such that the assembly is completed. At this stage, the user can press the actuation button 33 so as to start cleaning.
During non-use stage, the cleaner body 3 can be taken off from the cleaner, and only with the handle it can be used to massage the human body. The magnetic therapy cupping 53 on the golf massage head 5 can also be used to perform some simple pain-reducing treatments. After use, the electric line can be wound between the first electric cord hook 41 and the second electric cord hook 42, thus preventing the electric cords from disorderly winding and knotting. Therefore, the storage of the cleaner is more convenient.
As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, a hose 11 or a brush 12 can be inserted into the dust collection box 2 at the front end of the cleaner body 3.

Both free ends of the Y-shaped structure 43 of the handle 4 are buckled into the sockets 31 at the front end of the hose 11.
In use, the hose 11 and the cleaner body 3 are inserted into the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 respectively, then the golf massage head 5 is screwed off, and both ends of the Y-shaped structure 43 of the handle 4 are buckled into the two sockets 31 at the front end of the hose 11. At this stage, the user can hold the handle with hands and turn on the vacuum cleaner without bending.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show the use of the vacuum cleaner in smoking collection. As shown, the dust bin 206 can be connected to the vacuum cleaner of the invention, a suction pipe 202 and a discharge fan (not shown, which is connected to the free end of the pipe 204) through a hole 212, a hole 203 and a hole 211 respectively. The suction pipe 202 is connected to a herbal treatment device 210 through a coupling 208.
The herbal treatment device 210 is in form of bottle, into which the herbal curative, e.g., strip 215 made of wormwood, can be inserted. The wormwood strip 215 can be burned and warm the acupuncture points of human bodies, so that a herbal treatment effect can be obtained. According to the invention, the smoke generated during treatment can be sucked into the dust bin 206 through the suction pipe 202 by means of the vacuum cleaner. It is desirable for air cleaning indoors, especially in hospital.
In one embodiment, a grid 209 is provided within the herbal treatment device 210 for collecting the ash burned from the wormwood strip 215. Moreover, for increasing the smoke collecting effect, an absorbent material 207, e.g., sponge, paper or carbon, can be provided on the inner wall of the dust bin. To facilitate cleaning, the absorbent material 207 can be provided in a removable housing 208, which is located in the dust bin 206.
