<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an output state detector, detecting the output state of an internal combustion engine in a vehicle having an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. <P>SOLUTION: This output state detector of an internal combustion engine detects reaction torque of a generator 3, and detects the output state of the internal combustion engine 1 from the reaction torque. The detector includes: the internal combustion engine 1; the generator driven by the internal combustion engine to generate power; torque detection means 9, 12, 23 for detecting the reaction torque of the generator 3; and output state detection means for detecting the output state of the internal combustion engine 1. The output state detection means 10, 11 detect the output state of the internal combustion engine 1 on the basis of reaction torque of the generator 3 detected by the torque detection means 9, 12, 23. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
