The invention discloses an automatic focusing device for a projective bulb based on light spot detection and a use method thereof. The automatic focusing device comprises a lamp cup, a lamp cup clamping table, a screw I, a lampwick, a lampwick clamping frame, a large guide rail, a large slider, a screw II, an optical planar lens, a clamping holder, a convex lens, a supporting column, an optical filter, a two-dimensional photoelectric position sensor (PSD), a signal processing system, a PLC (programmable logic controller), a servo motor and a three-dimensional precise adjusting table, wherein light emitted from the lampwick can be reflected by the inner surface of the lamp cup to form parallel light beams, the parallel light beams can be transmitted and reflected twice by the optical planar lens, small parts of the light can be reflected to the convex lens, and then the light irradiates on the PSD by the optical filter after being gathered; a signal output by the PSD can be subjected to a series of conversion by the signal processing system, the PLC, the servo motor and the three-dimensional precise adjusting table; and finally the signal is used to control the position of the lampwick in the lamp cup. The device provided by the invention has the advantages of simple use method, low cost, high efficiency, high focusing precision and the like.
