The support assembly comprises at least two elastic strips, each of the elastic strips is arranged on an inner wall of the skirt piece, the elastic strips are sequentially arranged in an arrangement direction of the skirt pieces, one end of each of the elastic strips is provided with a snap member, the other end of the elastic strip is provided with a snap-fit member, the snap member on one of two adjacent elastic strips is snap-fixed with the snap-fit member on the other, and the snap member and the snap-fit member are detachably connected.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tree skirt using a snap-fit structure, comprising:
 at least two skirt pieces, wherein the skirt pieces are sequentially arranged along a circular track, adjacent skirt pieces are detachably connected, and the skirt pieces are enclosed to form a cavity; and   a support assembly, wherein the support assembly comprises at least two elastic strips, each of the elastic strips is arranged on an inner wall of the skirt piece, the elastic strips are sequentially arranged in an arrangement direction of the skirt pieces, one end of each of the elastic strips is provided with a snap member, the other end of the elastic strip is provided with a snap-fit member, the snap member on one of two adjacent elastic strips is snap-fixed with the snap-fit member on the other of the two adjacent elastic strips, and the snap member and the snap-fit member are detachably connected.   
     
     
         2 . The tree skirt according to  claim 1 , wherein the snap member comprises an insertion body and a snap protrusion connected to the insertion body;
 the snap-fit member has a slot and a snap hole communicating with the slot; and   in a state where the snap member and the snap-fit member are in a snap fit, the insertion body is inserted into the slot, and the snap protrusion is snapped into the snap hole.   
     
     
         3 . The tree skirt according to  claim 2 , wherein the snap protrusion is elastically movable in a diameter direction of the insertion body; and
 during a process of inserting the insertion body into the slot, the snap protrusion moves towards an inside of the insertion body under the action of an inner wall of the slot, and when the insertion body moves to a point where the snap protrusion faces the snap hole, the snap protrusion moves away from the insertion body to be snapped into the snap hole.   
     
     
         4 . The tree skirt according to  claim 3 , wherein the insertion body has a cavity and a gap communicating with the cavity;
 the snap protrusion is located in the gap, and the snap protrusion is connected to the insertion body by a connecting piece; and   during the process of inserting the insertion body into the slot, the snap protrusion abuts against the inner wall of the slot, and the connecting piece is deformed towards an inside of the cavity of the insertion body, and when the insertion body moves to the point where the snap protrusion faces the snap hole, the connecting piece recovers deformation, driving the snap protrusion to be snapped into the snap hole.   
     
     
         5 . The tree skirt according to  claim 4 , wherein the connecting piece extends in a length direction of the insertion body; and
 a free end of the connecting piece is provided with the snap protrusion.   
     
     
         6 . The tree skirt according to  claim 4 , wherein the snap hole is a circular hole; and
 the snap protrusion is a cylinder.   
     
     
         7 . The tree skirt according to  claim 4 , wherein the elastic strip is inserted into the cavity of the insertion body, and the elastic strip is fixedly connected to the insertion body. 
     
     
         8 . The tree skirt according to  claim 7 , wherein an outer surface of one end of the elastic strip has a first concavo-convex pattern portion, so that the first concavo-convex pattern portion is in a close fit with an inner wall of the cavity in a state of being inserted into the cavity. 
     
     
         9 . The tree skirt according to  claim 2 , wherein an outer surface of one end of the elastic strip has a second concavo-convex pattern portion, so that the second concavo-convex pattern portion is in a close fit with the inner wall of the slot in a state where the elastic strip is inserted into the slot of the snap-fit member. 
     
     
         10 . The tree skirt according to  claim 1 , comprising two support assemblies, wherein the skirt pieces are enclosed to form an upper opening and a lower opening, and the two support assemblies are sequentially arranged in a direction from the lower opening to the upper opening.
