[0018] The cylinder head assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

[0019] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the cylinder head assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application. Refer to Figure 1The cylinder head assembly comprises a cylinder head body 10, a spark plug bushing 20 and a water jacket structure 30. The cylinder head body 10 is provided with a mounting hole extending along the thickness direction of the cylinder head body 10, the mounting hole can pass through the water jacket structure 30, the spark plug bushing 20 is arranged in the mounting hole, and the spark plug bushing 20 can comprise a connecting section 21 for connecting the spark plug. In the projection of the axis of the mounting hole, the water jacket structure 30 covers part of the connecting section 21.

[0020] In the cylinder head assembly in the application, the connecting section 21 of the spark plug bushing 20 is used for connecting the spark plug, and the water jacket structure 30 covers at least part of the connecting section 21, so that the connecting section 21 of the spark plug bushing 20 can be effectively cooled, thereby cooling the spark plug and the part of the cylinder head body 10 corresponding to the spark plug, and reducing the occurrence of pre-ignition knocking. In addition, the water jacket structure 30 can also cool other parts of the spark plug bushing 20 and other parts of the cylinder head, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the cylinder head assembly and the spark plug.

[0021] The spark plug bushing 20 further comprises a main body section 22 fixedly connected with the connecting section 21, and the inner diameter of the main body section 22 is greater than that of the connecting section 21. The main body section 22 and the connecting section 21 are integrally formed. An internal thread is arranged in the connecting section 21, and the length of the internal thread can be the same as that of the connecting section 21. The spark plug can be detachably connected with the connecting section 21 through the internal thread of the connecting section 21, which can improve the convenience of connecting the spark plug with the spark plug bushing 20. The axis of the main body section 22 can coincide with that of the connecting section 21.
