[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless expressly and specifically defined otherwise, the terms mounted and connected are to be interpreted broadly, and may, for example, be fixedly or detachably or integrally connected; may be mechanically connected or electrically connected; or may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediary. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art from the specific context.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1-5, an embodiment of the present application provides a tree skirt having a magnetic attraction fit structure, including: a support assembly and at least two skirt pieces 1. The skirt pieces 1 are sequentially arranged along a circular track, adjacent skirt pieces 1 are detachably connected, and the skirt pieces 1 are enclosed to form a cavity. The support assembly includes at least two metal strips 2 and at least two connecting members 3, each of the metal strips 2 is arranged on an inner wall of the skirt piece 1, the metal strips 2 are sequentially arranged along an arrangement direction of the skirt pieces 1, the connecting members 3 are located between adjacent two metal strips 2, both ends of the connecting members 3 are respectively provided with a slot, a magnetic component 4 is provided on each of the connecting members 3, the adjacent two metal strips 2 are inserted into the slots at the both ends of the connecting members 3, and the metal strips 2 are magnetically attracted to the magnetic component 4. The metal strips 2 of the tree skirt of the present application are magnetically attracted to the magnetic component 4 after being inserted into the connecting members 3, and the metal strips 2 are not easily detached from the connecting members 3, resulting in good stability and high reliability. The magnetic component may be a magnet, and the metal strip 2 may be made of iron, steel or other material capable of being attracted to the magnet.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the connecting member 3 has a through groove, the magnetic component 4 is arranged in the through groove, and the magnetic component 4 divides the through groove into two slots.

[0033] The magnetic component 4 is a cylinder, and a circumferential surface of the magnetic component 4 is fitted to an inner wall of the through groove. An outer diameter of the magnetic component 4 matches an inner diameter of the through groove, and the magnetic component may be smoothly inserted into the through groove.

[0034] In some possible embodiments, the magnetic component 4 is fixed to the connecting member 3, or the magnetic component 4 is movably arranged on the connecting member 3.

[0035] For example, the connecting member 3 is made of a ferromagnetic material, the magnetic component 4 is magnetically attracted to the connecting member 3, and the magnetic component 4 is not easily detached from the connecting member 3, preventing loss.

[0036] The connecting member 3 may also be a plastic member, and the magnetic component 4 is interference-fitted into the through groove of the connecting member 3. The magnetic component 4 is fixed in position under a clamping action of the connecting member 3 and will not easily move to cause detachment.

[0037] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 4, one of the adjacent two metal strips 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 3, and the other is detachably inserted into the connecting member 3. The connecting member 3 is fixedly connected to one of the metal strips 2, thus reducing the need for disassembly and assembly and avoiding loss of the connecting member 3.

[0038] An outer surface of one of the adjacent two metal strips 2 at an end thereof is provided with a concavo-convex pattern portion 9, so that the concavo-convex pattern portion 9 is in a close fit with an inner wall of the slot in a state of being inserted into the slot. Arrangement of the concavo-convex pattern portion 9 increases a frictional force between the metal strip 2 and the inner wall of the slot, and improves fixing stability of the metal strip 2 and the connecting member 3.

[0039] One of the two slots is long and the other is short, and the metal strip 2 inserted into the slot of short length is fixedly connected to the connecting member 3, and a corresponding metal strip 2 is detachably inserted into the slot of long length (as shown in the metal strip 2 on the right side of FIG. 4). As the corresponding metal strip 2 is detachably inserted into the slot of long length facilitates the stability of an insertion structure between the connecting member 3 and the detachable metal strip 2, and the metal strip 2 will not be easily withdrawn from the connecting member 3, resulting in high product reliability.

The skirt piece 1 has two main surfaces respectively located on both sides of the skirt piece 1 in the thickness direction. The loop fastener 5 and a second hook fastener 6 are respectively arranged on the two main surfaces.

[0043] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the both ends of the skirt piece are respectively provided with a width edge, a first adhering member is provided on the width edge of one of the two adjacent skirt pieces, and an extension piece 7 is provided on the width edge of the other, the extension piece 7 is provided with a second adhering member, thickness end faces of the two skirt pieces are fitted together, and the second adhering member on the extension piece is adhered to the first adhering member. The extension piece 7 is located inside the skirt piece, which does not affect appearance of the skirt piece. One of the first adhering member and the second adhering member may be a loop fastener, and the other may be a hook fastener.

[0044] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the both ends of the skirt piece 1 are respectively provided with a width edge, a plurality of first adhering members are provided on the width edge of one of the adjacent two skirt pieces 1, the first adhering members are sequentially spaced apart along the width edge, and a plurality of extension pieces 7 are provided on the width edge of the other at intervals, and each of the extension pieces 7 is provided with a second adhering member.
