Abstract

See full text

A device for measuring torque of an engine has a torque detecting section for detecting an output torque of engine cylinders, a rotation detecting section for detecting a rotation angle of a rotating section to which a piston of each cylinder is connected, a top mark detecting section for detecting the rotation angle of the piston of each cylinder, and a torque calculating section for estimating torque characteristics of each cylinder on the basis of the following: the signal of the output torque, the rotation angle of the rotating section, the rotation angle of the piston of each cylinder, the number of the cylinders of the engine, and the number of cycles of the engine. The torque calculating section estimates, as torque characteristics of each cylinder, either peak torque of each cylinder or the combustion angle at which the peak torque is attained.
