The wing plate 4 is mainly used for being clamped with a clamping structure on the inner wall of the server case so as to fix the hard disk bracket in the server case. Moreover, in order to unlock the wing plate 4 conveniently, in the embodiment, the button pulling plate 3 can be used as a driving part of the wing plate 4. Specifically, when the button pulling plate 3 is gradually pulled out from the front panel 2, the wing plates 4 on the two sides are synchronously driven to retract inwards through the transmission structure, so that the server case is unlocked, and then an operator can pull the button pulling plate 3 to smoothly pull out the hard disk bracket from the server case without hindrance; on the contrary, when the button pulling plate 3 is gradually pushed into the front panel 2, the wing plates 4 on the two sides are synchronously driven to extend outwards through the transmission structure, so that the locking with the server case is realized.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a transmission structure of the button pulling plate 3 and the wing plate 4, as shown in fig. 3.

In a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure that the button pulling plate 3 can smoothly drive the wing plate 4 to perform the telescopic motion, the first magnetic blocks 31 are arranged on the side walls of the two sides of the button pulling plate 3, meanwhile, the second magnetic blocks 41 are arranged on the inner end surfaces of the wing plates 4 on the two sides, and the facing magnetic poles of the second magnetic blocks 41 and the first magnetic blocks 31 are the same. In addition, a return spring 5 is further sleeved on the surface of the wing plate 4, specifically, one end of the return spring 5 can abut against the inner side wall of the front panel 2, and the other end can abut against the boss end face provided on the wing plate 4. So set up, when button arm-tie 3 was pushed into front panel 2, utilized the like poles of the same polarity between first magnetic block 31 and the second magnetic block 41 to repel the principle, will push out the pterygoid lamina 4 of both sides gradually outward, until pterygoid lamina 4 extends outside the lateral wall of front panel 2 completely to form the joint with server machine incasement wall. In the process, the return spring 5 is gradually compressed and accumulates elastic potential energy, and when the button pulling plate 3 is pulled out, the wing plates 4 are pushed inwards under the elastic force to retract.

As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view of another transmission structure of the button pulling plate 3 and the wing plate 4.

In another preferred embodiment, to ensure that the button pulling plate 3 can smoothly drive the wing plates 4 to perform the telescopic motion, the embodiment has inclined surfaces 32 formed on both side surfaces of the inner end of the button pulling plate 3, and also has wedge surfaces 42 formed on the inner end surfaces of the wing plates 4 on both sides, and the inclination angle of the wedge surface 42 is equivalent to that of the inclined surface 32, and both may form a wedge structure. Further, as in the previous embodiment, a return spring 5 is further provided on the surface of the wing plate 4, and specifically, one end of the return spring 5 may abut on the inner side wall of the front panel 2, and the other end may abut on the boss end surface provided on the wing plate 4. So configured, when the button pull plate 3 is pushed into the front panel 2, the force in the longitudinal direction is changed into the force in the transverse direction by the abutting transmission action of the inclined surface 32 and the wedge surface 42, thereby driving the wing plates 4 on both sides to extend outward. When the button pull plate 3 is pulled out, the wing plates 4 are pushed inwards under the elastic force of the return spring 5 to retract.
