Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrical control, in particular to a non-contact key device and a working method thereof.

In the prior art, although various non-contact sensors can detect the pressing action of the user, the touch feeling given by the physical key is not given to the user, but the touch feeling is not given, so that the user cannot directly feel whether the key is pressed or not, and can only wait for signals such as sound, light or action of an executing mechanism, for example, the infrared switch-on/off circuit with state feedback in the Chinese patent CN110176921a only gives feedback of an indicator lamp. The user may have directly pressed the key entity in the waiting process, so that the meaning of non-contact key "non-contact" is lost, and the purpose of avoiding cross contamination cannot be achieved.
