Schematic description of our model. Left panel: pre-merger disk winds launched from the circumbinary disk. The green arrows illustrate the disk-driven outflows that form a wind bubble. Mini-disks around each SMBH are also shown. Right panel: post-merger jets launched by a merged SMBH. The forward shock region is shown as the purple area. The cocoon is not depicted.
