[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment of a snack storage tray includes a disc-shaped base 1 with a bottom surface and side walls, and an upper cover 2 that can be fitted and fixed to the top surface of the base 1, forming a closed space after the upper cover 2 and the base 1 are closed; a columnar part 11 protrudes axially from the center of the inner bottom surface of the base 1, and a turntable 3 is concentrically arranged inside the base 1. The outline of the turntable 3 is approximately the same as that of the base 1, and an upwardly protruding handle 4 is fixed at the center of the turntable 3. The interior of the handle 4 is a central... The hollow structure extends downward and passes through the turntable 3. The rotating handle 4 is concentrically fitted and rotatably mounted on the outer periphery of the columnar part 11 through the bearing 5. The top end of the rotating handle 4 extends upward through the upper cover 2. By rotating the top end of the rotating handle 4 from the outside, the turntable 3 can rotate relative to the base 1 and the cover 6. The turntable 3 is divided into several storage compartments 31 along the circumference, and the upper cover 2 is provided with a window 21 communicating with the storage compartment 31, and a cover 6 that closes the window 21.

[0023] When in use, various snacks are unpacked and stored separately in the storage compartments 31 of the turntable 3. The interior is then sealed by the lid 2 and the base 1. When eating, the lid 6 is opened, and the snacks in the corresponding storage compartments 31 can be taken out from the window 21. The turntable 3 located in the sealed space can be rotated by rotating the handle 4, so that different storage compartments 31 correspond to the windows 21. This storage tray can not only store various unpacked snacks in a sealed manner, preventing them from being exposed to spoilage, scattered, or mixed with fruit shells, insects, etc. for a long time, but also makes it convenient to take out and put in, which can meet the needs of enjoying multiple snacks at the same time in specific scenarios.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a first gap space 3a is formed between the turntable 3 and the chassis, and a second gap space 3b is formed between the turntable 3 and the upper cover 2. The first gap space 3a and the second gap space 3b can prevent the turntable 3 from rubbing against the inner wall of the upper cover 2 or the base 1, thus avoiding affecting its rotation.
