In the same year, Smith obtained the patent right of this washing machine. However, this kind of washing machine is laborious to use and harmful to clothes, so it is not widely used, but it marks the beginning of washing clothes with machines.

History of washing machine development:
After the first washing machine was invented, wooden hand washing machines, hydraulic washing machines and internal combustion engine washing machines also appeared one after another. However, for various reasons, these washing machines were not popularized until the emergence of generators.
19 1 1 year, the world's first electric washing machine was born, which was made by American Archie Fisher in Chicago. It is powered by a small generator, which uses a rotating vat to put clothes and soap into it for cleaning.
In the 1920s, electricity was widely used in western countries. 1922, Howard Snyder of America reformed the washing structure of the washing machine. Drag-type is changed to stir-type, so that the water stream collides strongly with the clothes, thus achieving the purpose of washing the clothes.
1928, Siemens of Germany introduced the first drum washing machine.
1937 the first automatic washing machine came out. This is a front automatic washing machine. A cylinder driven by a horizontal shaft can hold 4000 grams of clothes. Clothes keep rolling up and down in a sink filled with water to remove dirt and scale. In the 1940s, modern overhead automatic washing machines appeared.
With the acceleration of industrialization, Britain has developed and launched a jet washing machine, which relies on the powerful vortex generated by the impeller running on one side of the drum to make clothes and washing liquid roll constantly in the drum, thus washing clothes.
1955, Japan developed a unique pulsator washing machine based on the introduction of jet washing machine from Britain, which has been popular ever since. At this point, the situation that pulsator, drum and stirring are divided into three parts in the production field of washing machines has initially taken shape.
In 1960s, a double-barrel washing machine with a dry barrel appeared in Japan, which was called "semi-automatic washing machine".
In the 1970s, a fully automatic pulsator washing machine was produced.
In the late 1970s, an automatic washing machine controlled by a computer (actually a microprocessor) came out in Japan, which opened a new stage in the history of washing machines.
In 1980s, the application of "fuzzy control" made the washing machine easier to operate, more complete in functions, more suitable in washing procedures and more fashionable in appearance.
In the 1990s, due to the improvement of motor speed regulation technology, the washing machine realized a wide range of speed conversion and adjustment, and many new water washing machines were born.
Since then, with the development and perfection of motor-driven technology, Japan has produced a motor-driven washing machine, canceling gear transmission and speed change mechanism, which has triggered a huge revolution in the driving mode of washing machines. Later, with the further development of science and technology, the drum washing machine has become a product that everyone has heard of.
Achievements of domestic washing machines;
China's washing machine industry started late, and it was not until 1978 that domestic washing machines were officially produced. But at present, the annual output of washing machines in China accounts for about a quarter of the world's annual output, ranking first in the world. In addition to meeting the domestic market in quantity and variety, it is also exported to North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and other places, ranking among the international washing machine market competition.
