  • Publication number: 20250359723
    Abstract: A faucet and a faucet assembly. The faucet includes a faucet body and a washing mechanism rotatably connected to the faucet body. A bottom of the faucet body is connected to a fixing sleeve, and a sleeve wall of the fixing sleeve is provided with a wall opening extending along a circumferential direction. The washing mechanism comprises a washing bracket with a water cavity and a connecting sleeve, a water jet provided at a top of the washing bracket, a control valve core connected between the water cavity and the water jet, and a water supply pipe for supplying water to the water cavity. The connecting sleeve rotates smoothly relative to the fixing sleeve, and the rotation of the connecting sleeve will not be affected by the static pressure of water, which enhances the smoothness of the rotation of the washing mechanism relative to the body.
