Introduction
GB/T 8593 "Symbols for Earth-moving Machinery Driver Control Devices and Other Display Devices" is a symbol to guide the application of earth-moving machinery products in my country
A standard for basic and generality of classes: GB/T 8593 aims to establish driver controls and other displays suitable for earth-moving machinery products
The general requirements for symbols for devices and the requirements for special symbols for specific machine families are to be composed of two parts:
--- Part 1: General symbols: The purpose is to specify the general symbols for the driver's control device and other display devices of earth-moving machinery products:
No: form, and to standardize the description, so that the driver can refer to and use:
--- Part 2: Special symbols for machines, working devices and accessories: The purpose is to specify loaders, bulldozers, graders, trenchers
Special symbols for driver controls and other displays, as well as balance outriggers, grab buckets, ground
The symbols used for special parts such as loose working devices, together with the general symbols in Part 1, are more convenient for drivers to refer to and use:
Earth-moving machinery driver controls and others
Symbols for display devices - Part 1: General symbols
1 Scope
This document specifies the common symbols for driver controls and other display devices of earth-moving machinery products as defined in ISO 6165:
NOTE 1 ISO 6405-2 covers symbols for special types of earth-moving machinery, work equipment and accessories:
NOTE 2 Other internationally standardized symbols for potentially relevant earth-moving machinery can be obtained by reference to ISO 7000 and IEC 60417:
