1. A mobile power supply device that is capable of supplying power stored in a storage cell to outside of the mobile power supply device, comprising:
- a power-supplying coil that is covered by a weatherproof component and that, together with an external power-receiving coil, forms a first electromagnetic coupling circuit;
a power converter that converts DC power stored in the storage cell into AC power and then supplies the AC power to the power-supplying coil;
a power-receiving coil that, together with an external power-supplying coil, forms a second electromagnetic coupling circuit;
a power-receiving circuit that receives power that is supplied wirelessly from outside of the mobile power supply device via the second electromagnetic coupling circuit that is formed by the external power-supplying coil and the power-receiving coil;
a charging device that charges the storage cell using power received by the power-receiving circuit;
a motor that generates power used for movement;
a drive circuit that drives the motor using power stored in the storage cell; and
a switching circuit that switches between connecting the power converter, the power-receiving circuit, and the drive circuit to the storage cell and disconnecting them from the storage cell,wherein;
when power is discharged from the storage cell, the switching circuit is controlled so that the storage cell, the drive circuit, the power converter, and the power-receiving circuit are connected, andwhen the storage cell is charged, the switching circuit is controlled so that the storage cell, the drive circuit, the power converter, and the power-receiving circuit are disconnected.

5. A mobile power supply device that is capable of supplying power stored in a storage cell to outside of the mobile power supply device, comprising:
-
a power-transferring coil that is covered by a weatherproof component and that, together with an external power-transferring coil, forms an electromagnetic coupling circuit; a power-transferring circuit that, out of a first operation in which power that is stored in the storage cell is supplied wirelessly to outside of the mobile power supply device via the electromagnetic coupling circuit, and a second operation in which power that is supplied wirelessly from outside of the mobile power supply device via the electromagnetic coupling circuit is received, performs at least the first operation; a motor that generates power that is used for movement; a drive circuit that drives the motor using power stored in the storage cell; and a switching circuit that switches between connecting the power-transferring circuit and the drive circuit to the storage cell, and disconnecting them from the storage cell, wherein; when power is discharged from the storage cell, the switching circuit is controlled so that the storage cell, the drive circuit, and the power-transferring circuit are connected, and when the storage cell is charged, the switching circuit is controlled so that the storage cell, the drive circuit, and the power-transferring circuit are disconnected. - View Dependent Claims (6)
