The invention discloses an automatic spreading machine which is composed of a workbench, a spreading device, a cloth laying device, a left cloth pressing device, an adsorption device and a right cloth pressing device. The workbench is composed of a supporting frame, a cloth laying platform and adjustable table legs. The spreading device is composed of a spreading motor, a lead screw and a movable sliding block. The cloth laying device is composed of a cloth laying driving device, a spreading connecting frame, a right cloth laying ascending mechanism, a right self-locking mechanism, a left cloth laying ascending mechanism and a left self-locking mechanism. The left cloth pressing device is composed of a cloth pressing driving device, a lifting mechanism, a pressing rod guide device, a cloth pressing transmission device and a cloth pressing supporting plate. The adsorption device is composed of an adsorption air pump and an air pipe. Cloth can be pulled out and flatly laid on the cloth laying platform with all the layers closely attached, and no wrinkle exists. Every time one layer of cloth is laid, cloth spreading and laying can be carried out in a reciprocating mode without breaking the cloth. According to the automatic spreading machine, manpower is saved, and cloth laying efficiency and quality are improved.
